Aaliyah and Sammy walk through the house party looking for James and Benedict. It reminded Aaliyah of the day she saw Benedict kissing some girl and how disappointed she was, but this time she was actually going to dance with Benedict and have fun.
"I'll go look for Benny...stay here" Aaliyah says to Sammy. Sammy nods "I'll go look for the manwhore" getting a chuckling from Aaliyah "Have fun"
Aaliyah leaves Sammy in the living room, walking pass people who were dancing around, and getting wasted, soon passing James kissing a girl by the corner. Aaliyah rolls her eyes and spots Benedict holding a red cup and laughing with his teammates in the kitchen
"Benny" She calls, slowly walking closer to the group. His teammates smirk at him, chuckling at him before dabbing him up and walking away. Benedict gives her a can of soda "I know you don't like drinking so I saved the non-spiked soda"
"Non-spiked?" Aaliyah says looking at him confused as she takes the can from him
"You'll be shocked of how many people spike girls' drinks...stay beside me...I give you drinks, so don't take any from anyone...boys and girls, especially boys"
"Noted...oh also I saw James-"
"Making out with some chick? 3rd girl today...he needs saving...Wanna go dance? If you want to of course" Benedict smiles
Aaliyah nods opening the soda can and taking some sips "Do I finish it now or?"
"If you're full then just dump, taking drinks after you leave is a big no..."Benedict says as he helps Aaliyah to the dance floor. He wraps his hand around her waist, trying to protect her from the pushing girls and boys who weren't paying attention. He leaned on her neck, whispering in her ear "Stay close to me...don't want you to fall because you're falling in love with me"
Aaliyah playfully hits his shoulder, Benedict yelping "That is so cheesy you know"
Benedict chuckles "Yeah I know".
Sammy walks around examining the girls who giggled with red cups in their hands, rolling her eyes.
"Why is this man..." She says before she sees James making out with a girl in the dining room, the girl on the table and him in between her legs
"Whore" She whispers before walking to them, slapping the back of his neck "It's Benedict's birthday and this is what you're doing?"
"I was busy you know" James replies as the girl glares at Sammy rolling her eyes "Who's this baby?"
James kissed her neck before replying "Just some nerd"
"This is girl number what you're kissing?" Sammy asks crossing her hands
"Um...6?" James says without realizing
The girl pushes James off before slapping him "You said I was the only one!"
"Well, baby...with this face-"
"Fuck you!" The girl yells before walking away as Sammy giggles
"With that face, you got slapped..."
"Whatever...what do you want...you ruined my hook up for tonight," James says sitting on the dining chair
"Is the only thing you do is have sex? I mean have some respect for yourself if you don't have any for these girls"
"Having lots of chicks is respect" James argued
"To who? Your brothers?" Sammy replies as James scoffs
"You're beginning to piss me off Sammy, I have respect for you because you're my best friend's girlfriend's best friend..."
"Because I'm telling you to have respect for yourself?" Sammy says looking at him
"No, because all that has come out of your fucking mouth every time you talk is whores, whores and whores...you are pissing me off like you don't want to me to act the way I act!" James yells standing up
"I tell you because you don't have respect for yourself...from a girl to a girl to a girl...you're a walking STD at this point!" Sammy yells back
"Walking STD?? I'll would rather be that than a nerd who thinks because she isn't having sex that she is a fucking priest!"
"So you would rather be a fucking be that because I told you that going from a girl to a girl is wrong! Are you insane!"
"That's the only shit you have been talking to me about whores, and girls , and manwhore, and whorehouse! At first I giggled! Laughed along with you and then you kept saying and saying and saying it! I'm sick of it! I have more than just my lust and sex!"
"I'm not the one who is acting like having sex with people is a trophy...you count girls on your fingers and you have some goal every week for how many lips you have kissed! You make it your whole personality! Aaliyah had to tell me that you played the guitar and you were a baseball player because all I know about you is hooking up!"
"Is it my fault! Since you know how to deal with my kind! You were upset at Benedict before he was hooked up with some chick and you didn't allow him talk to Aaliyah because of that!"
"Is this about him or about you?!"
"I don't give a fuck anymore! Just leave"
"Well great! Have fun with your mindless and lustful sex with girls you love to dump!" Sammy says walking away
James throws his drink on the floor, shocking the people besides him, moving away. James sits on the chair sighing rubbing her temples.
Benedict and Aaliyah walk to him. Benedict's hand around her waist, his cheek tinted with pink, Aaliyah's make up a mess. They were probably dancing for an hour. James scoffs, placing his leg on his lap "Hey"
"Something wrong? Where's Sammy"
"Don't know...don't care" James whispers
"Aaliyah stay here...don't take anything from anyone okay?" Benedict kissing her cheek as Aaliyah giggles, she was clearly drunk
"Okayyy" she slurred letting go of him before scrolling on her mumbling to herself
Benedict sits beside James "What's wrong? Chick number 6 didn't say yes?"
"That's the shit with you guys! It's always chick, chick, chick, chick!" James yells at Benedict
"Dude what happened..."
"Your girlfriend, whatever she is...her friend Sammy won't control her mouth about me and the girls I sleep with and I'm tired!" James yells
"The only thing you talk to her is about chicks though..."
"Don't act like a saint! You were doing the same thing back in high school, but now you're talking because you got eyes for a girl! You think I don't want that! You think I don't want a girl who makes me smile!" James yells
Benedict looks at him confused "What...? You're drunk...I should take Aaliyah and Sammy home...you need to cool off...where did you see Sammy?"
"Walking away like the nerd she is"
"Okay...I'll call Nicole to pick you up..." Benedict says as he returned to Aaliyah who immediately hugged him closing her
James scoffs as Benedict walks off with Aaliyah.
