I Choose You

Chapter Six

[Unedited]

After much awful singing and Cole and Alek continuously yelling at us to shut up, we finally made to the party. The party was already in full swing. Drunk teens were making out on the front lawn, some puking in bushes and an idiot was jumping from the roof of the two story house. Something audibly snapped in his body when he landed flat on his back on the lawn and his equally stupid friends ran up to him in panicked concern. Fùck-tards.

Once inside the reasonably large house, Cole and Alek headed to the kitchen to get some drinks while Madison dragged me to the living room which was being used as the dance floor. I felt claustrophobic on the dance floor where large group of sweaty, hormonal teens were bumping and grinding on each other to Lady Gaga's, Just Dance.

"C'mon Chloe! " Madison shouted over the earsplitting music, rotating her body to the rhythm of the song. "You hear Gaga, just dance!" I laughed as she twirled me. I decided to let myself go just this once and at least try to have some fun.

Nine songs later, I was completely parched and I couldn't feel my legs anymore, but it was toally worth. That was the most fun I've had at a party since...well ever. Although I hated parties, I was willing to make an exception.

When Alek soon came to join the dancing mob and he and Maddy started grinding on each other, I took that as my cue to leave. I navigated my way through the crowd. Once I was out I glanced back to see Joey and Jade dancing. Joey was a terrible dancer, so it looked more like he had a snake in his pants.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a two familiar figures. On a couch at a corner of the room, Chase and Allison was full on making out. I mean, Chase had his hand up Allison's mini skirt as she straddled him. They were just there, in front of everyone, doing that! I ignored that familiar pang in my stomach and stomped to the kitchen.

"He'll make it worth it, huh? Pssh, yeah right." I grumbled irritably.

I wrenched open the cooler way harder than necessary, pulling out four cans of beer. Turning, I saw Cole perched on a stool around the island. I sat next to him, facing the living room.

"How's your night going? " he asked, taking a swig of his beer.

I opened one of mine and did the same. "To shìt, yours?"

"I guess I can say the same thing. " he replied, staring intently at the dance floor, his jaw clenched

I followed his stare to discover that he was watching Joey and Jade. My eyes then sudcontiously drifted to Chase and Allison. My rage was boosted up a level. Look at us, here getting upset over people we can't have. I quickly chugged all four cans of beer and slammed the cans down on the island.

"Dance with me." I blurted. Both our eyes widened, unable to believe that I'd demanded that so boldly. Sober Chloe, would've never done that.

"What?" he blinked.

"You heard me." I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the living room.

Low was booming throughout the house, one of my favorite songs. I gripped a fist full of Cole's shirt and pulled him closer to me. I rotated my hips descending all the way down to floor and using Cole as my anchor, I wiggled my hips coming all the way back up. Cole gave a throaty chuckle before he gripped my hips and tugged me even closer to him.

I gasped, "Not as innocent as he pretends to be folks." I looped my arms around his neck closing every inch of space between us. Even in the dim light of the room I could tell that his eyes had turned to a darker shade with arousal.
