MY BEST ADDICTION

Chapter 12

At exactly 8 pm, I heard a knock on my door startling me awake. I opened the door to find both Sam and Taylor in front of my door.
“I knew I couldn’t trust you to be ready by now”, she said entering my room.
“I just need to wash down and dress right?”, I said causing her to gasp dramatically.
“You are unbelievable. No let’s get you dolled up for our night”, she said dragging me into the bathroom.
‘Here goes nothing’, I thought and let her drag me to the bathroom.
While dressing up, we heard a knock on my door and Sam talk to the person. I wondered who it was and stilled when I realized it could have been Seth looking for me. I wanted to go out meet the person but Taylor chastised me. I sat obediently as she used my face however she wanted. When she was done I watched my reflection and was dumbfounded by what I saw, I looked different and it was a good different. We finished everything at about 9pm and left the hotel to the club they had reserved for us.
“Cheers”, we all said clinking our glasses together and downing our fourth or was it our fifth drinks. We chugged our drinks and rushed to the dance floor.
“I didn’t know you had it in you”, Taylor addressed my dancing.
“There are a lot you don’t know about me”, I said winking at her.
“A woman of mystery, I love it”, Sam said holding on to me as we danced.
We went back to our table for more rounds of drinks and I was grateful I was not a lightweight as I could drink more than my friends.
“I need to go to the washroom”, I whispered to Taylor.
“Okay okay”, she slurred at me.
Just as I came out of the washroom my phone rang. I answered it without even checking the name of the caller.
“Hello, who is it?”, I slurred after answering.
“Why don’t you check your phone”
I moved the phone away from my face and saw Seth’s name glaring at me.
“Oh Seth, what is it that you want?”, I asked feeling a bad premonition about the whole situation.
“Where are you?”, he asked instead.
I contemplated on whether to answer truthfully or not but before I could even come up with a lie, I had told him where I was. I told him not to worry about me and hang up on him. I walked to our table to find Taylor passed out from drinking and only Sam sat there seeming bored already.
“Where have you been?”, he asked when he saw me approaching them.
“I had to answer a call. What happened to her?”, I asked looking in Taylor’s direction.
“She is drunk and I’m bored because you left me alone here”, he said pouting which made me think he was slightly drunk. I ordered a few more drinks and drank till Sam and I couldn’t differentiate between reality and an illusion anymore. I pulled him back to the dance floor and held on to him to dance.
“If only you weren’t taken”, he whispered in my ears and pulled me to him, holding on to me tightly as we danced.
I felt someone pull me away from Sam into his embrace and turned to scold them only for the words to get stuck in my throat.
“Seth what are you doing here?”, I asked fully turning in his grasp and embracing him. His smell overpowered my senses that I felt lightheaded.
“You smell nice. I love it”, I said snuggling more into him. I subconsciously rubbed against him and felt him stiffen against me.
“You guys can leave, I’ll take care of her”, I heard him say to someone and that brought me back to my senses.
“Taylor and Sam”, I said trying to move away from him.
“They left and I think we should leave too. You need enough rest”
“I don’t want to rest. I want to dance, let’s dance”, I said moving against him. “I wish I could eat you”, I added before lightly biting his neck and heard him release a low growl in his throat. I felt a pinch at my side and a slight caress at my back.
“I would stop that if I was you. Don’t play with fire if you aren’t ready to get burnt”, he said so close to my ears that I felt myself shiver and unconsciously tightened my grip on him.
“Sometimes getting burnt is worth it”, I whispered to him and before I knew it I felt his lips on mine.
He kissed me passionately that I felt more lightheaded. He tried to invade my mouth but I teasingly denied him to which he pinched my sides when he realized what I was doing. I gasped allowing him the entrance he sought for and kissed me as though he wanted to devour me.
“You don’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into”, he whispered into my ears before placing a kiss there. He moved away from me and looked at my expression.
“You’re so gone”, he said when he saw the clouded look in my eyes.
He pinned me to the wall closing the door behind us as we entered his room. I thought I was lightheaded earlier but this was beyond that, I felt like I couldn’t control my body. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was holding onto him, I think I might have become mush on the floor. He kissed my neck and bit my soft spot as if claiming his territory on my body. There was no place his hand didn’t touch and everywhere he touched felt electrifying. I brought my hand from his neck and moved his face from mine, my thumb grazing the contour of his mouth. It felt swollen and I knew mine wasn’t better either. I looked straight into his eyes and felt myself being pulled into an endless abyss. After admiring his features to my satisfaction I pulled him back to me and kissed him. I felt myself being carried and wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked us to his bed. He dropped me on the bed and not wanting to lose his warmth pulled him by the hem of his shirt and started unbuttoning it. As if realizing something he tried to move away from me.
“Seth”, I whined and started to take of the dress I had painstakingly wore earlier.
“You aren’t in your right senses now”, he said running his hand through his hair trying to calm himself. I didn’t know if he was trying to stop my advances or stop himself from losing control with me. My dress pooled at my feet when I stood and walked out of it to approach him.
“Seth please”, I said holding his hand and pulling him to me.
“We can’t do this”, he said trying to move away from me but held on to his shirt taking it off him.
“You want this as much as I do”, I whispered and kissed his neck not backing down.
“I can’t do this”, he said moving away.
“Fine, why don’t you stay here by yourself. I’m going to find someone who will be willing”, I said getting upset with him. I turned away from him and tried to get my clothes but was stopped when he embraced me tightly.
“I’m sorry”, he said placing his head at the back of my neck. “Just don’t hate me for doing this when you become sober, okay”, he said and I could feel the sadness in his voice as if I was going to disappear on him after this. I turned to face him and saw the broken look on his face.
“I told you, I’m not going anywhere. If anything I should be the one worried instead”, I said stroking his face with my hand and he subconsciously leaned into my touch. He opened his eyes and stared at me lovingly that I was taken aback for a moment but brushed it aside thinking it was an illusion.
“Are you sure?”, he asked. Before he could hesitate again I pulled him to me and attached my lips to his kissing him with everything I had.
‘I guess we are going to have a very long night today’, I thought when I felt the bed behind me.
