HOTLINE BLING {WATTYS2016}

Chapter Three

The end of the second movie couldn't come fast enough for you. Sandwiched between Drake and Justin made for an uneasy thirty minutes, and that was putting it lightly. Somewhere along the way Drake's thigh had bushed up against yours and he had yet to move it. Though you appeared outwardly unaffected there were frantic bats fluttering about inside your belly. It didn't help either that Justin insist you continued using his lap as a pillow and had been tracing distracting lines on your arm since.

The second half of the movie could have been a screen with white noise as far as you were concerned. You had quit paying attention the moment Justin's fingers had slid past your panties. The end of the movie would have gone unnoticed by you if it wasn't for the gentle bounce of Justin's leg.

"Movie's over," he murmured when you looked up at him.

You left for the bathroom, relieved to escape the two men wreaking havoc on your senses. As soon as you got the chance you would lay into Justin for his manipulations. When you'd agreed to come over you'd done so under the notion that it would only be the two of you. The only reason you'd stayed in the first place was because of Hailey and the reason you hadn't left yet was because of Justin's wiles.

In your moment of solitude you caught the tail end of a conversation down the hall.

"I'm kinda tired man," Justin replied to a question you hadn't heard.

"It don't gotta be another movie, I'm game for anything else," the voice sounded like Za's.

"Take the hint boy," Khalil admonished.

"Yeah guys, we should probably go, looks like the weather's getting worse," Hailey added.

You left the bathroom in search of the closest window. The view shocked you. You had no idea it was even raining and the grey skies were turning darker by the minute. If you were looking for a cue to leave that was it.

When you stepped into the living room the sight was a welcomed one. Everyone was going through the motions of leaving.

You slipped your shoes on and collected your keys, all the while avoiding the stare you knew Justin was directing your way.

"It was fun JB," Chris dapped him before heading for the door.

Without warning the lights flickered followed by a resounding crack of thunder. Your reaction matched that of everyone else's, but internally it was a different story.

"Ok, time to go, I ain't tryna be out in this weather," Za threw up a two fingered salute before making a beeline to the kitchen to search for his keys.

The wisest thing Za had said all day...

"C'mon Hails, let's go," Kendall softly called from across the room.

"Who you riding with?" a voice to your right asked.

You looked into Drake's concerned eyes and for a moment you drew a blank.

"I came alone."

"I can take you," you glanced around, surprised to see Chris coming towards you.
You thought he would have been halfway home by now.

"Uh..."
"That's alright. I can take her," Drake offered.

"Actually, I drove here so I can drive back," you shut down both bids.

"It's probably not safe for you to drive back on your own," Hailey advised as she shrugged on a sweater.

"She can crash here till the storm passes," Justin suggested and all eyes turned to him.
