Damaged Goods (Book 1)

6.

Despite being gone for a few years I can tell that the town hasn't changed too much, but the few upgrades I have noticed were substantial. Apparently, someone has been vouching for the expansion of teenage activities as there were increasing areas for this age group. We drove around, smoked, and ate until sunset. While out we were invited to a rave of some sort going on that night, open to 18 and up. Despite being 17, I'm sure I would still be able to get in cause I "oozed maturity" apparently.

I've been on edge since school and Ash convinced me to go to the gym in the basement of my house. I nearly punched a hole in the punching bag before I stopped and  That workout and a cold shower loosened me up a bit before going out. But you know how lucky I am.

My mother decided to show her face and nag me about family counseling and offering to physically cook us dinner. I simply replied "Not a chance in Hell." and walked away.  She huffed and puffed before slamming the door to my father's office. I could hear her whining to him and decided I better ignore her until the drama queen, Asher decided to finally finish his hair. What kills me is that he doesn't even have any!

"Jay I think you should slow down. I know you can handle your liquor, but still, mate you don't drink well angry. Besides we have school tomorrow." Though his tone was teasingly I could tell he was starting to worry.

Asher being the type of Brit he is has now turned into a nagging twit going on and on about responsibilities while he himself is high off whatever pill he grabbed from his magic bag. I guess he's mad he has to be the DD of sorts tonight and drinking is off the table for him.

"Ash if you are so worried why don't you just find some nice girl to occupy your mind, hmm?"

"Oh I will before the night is out, but I can't help but worry about you poppet." Glaring at him I downed the last of the shots I managed to bribe the bartender to allow me to buy. Fucking law abider.

"Listen Ash regardless of what you say I was going to get drunk eventually and I just decided it should be earlier than later. Excuse me, I now feel the need to seduce the very hot blonde who has been staring at me for the past half hour. I suggest you stop pouting, take those dilated eyes, and place them on the very neon girl who has been eye fucking you." I said as I took my jacket off and made my way to the dance floor.

As I made my way to the blonde I turned around and walked backwards a few steps to see Asher smiling and shaking his head before following suit towards the neon girl. Thats why we're best friends, he gets me and I get her. I turned around and locked eyes with the blonde who was a few paces away and began dancing. Moving with the bodies around me I blend into the crowd and move around him. I dance in a circle around him and dance within the groups of people that occupy the dance floor. Once the music takes a slower, yet still energetic feel I come behind him and hook a finger in his belt loop, tugging him slightly towards me. Turning he smiled and we began dancing closely under the beams of neon lights and blur of equally colorful people. He turns and begins to grind on me slowly to the beat of the song and I trail my hands over his hips and waist.

"My name is David. What took you so long to come over here? He your boyfriend or something?"

I smiled against his neck. "Well David I'm single and the reason I waited to come over was to make sure you we're OK with this." I saw him look confused before turning his head to look at me.

"Okay, with what?"

"This." and I kissed him on the lips and as if on cue the music switched to something almost jarring.

"Wow, and I almost thought you were straight for a second there." I laughed and moved our bodies in time with the music. "Not today."
