Handcuffs in Winter

Chapter Two

Dressed in blue jeans and a regular t-shirt, I put my hair up in a ponytail and pulled over a sweat shirt. Twenty minutes later, we pulled into a driveway already full of drunks. Rain, snow or shine these people partied inside or out. Personally, I thought they were all crazy for being outside. The snow hadn't let down since Taylor dropped me off and we barely got here without the backseat screamers distracting Jennifer. "I'm going to go find Jax," Jennifer told the group of people that came here with us.

"Criss, come on!" She pulled me inside where the music blared. We pushed our way through the dancers and beer pong tables until we reached the kitchen where groups huddled together, sitting on counter tops and taking shots. Jennifer stopped, stood on her tip toes and scanned the room for Jaxon. She squealed with excitement when she found him, letting go of my hand and pushing her way to him. The last thing I seen was her long blonde hair flying behind her. I sighed, not wanting to be here, and followed. I couldn't help but think it would be much more fun with Becca here.

I got stared at like I was some clown trying to slip by as I made my way through the crowd and found Jennifer at the far end of the kitchen hanging on Jaxon. "Criss! Good to see you're not locked up! I heard Becca got busted," Jaxson said as I walked up to him.

"Yeah, unfortunately. How did you get away?" I yelled over the loud music and people around us.

"I got people."

"Do you remember what happened last night? The last thing I remember we were drinking and everything went black," I asked.

"You don't remember?!" He leaned forward, Jennifer leaning with him since his arm was around her. He smelled of booze and weed. "You were crazy, man. You went nuts! Partied hard!"

"What?!" Jennifer reached behind her and grabbed a glass from the counter.

"Loosen up a bit, Criss. You seem tense! Don't worry about last night. It was all fun and games!" She yelled back. Fun and games? My friend is gone, half of Jaxon's friends were in jail and it's all fun and games to them? I wanted to reach over and slap Jennifer. But she was right. I felt uneasy. I felt too uptight tonight. I grabbed the drink from her and chugged it down. "Good girl, now let's go dance!"

She grabbed my hand again and pulled me into the crowd of dancers. Her slim, curvy body moved to the music perfectly. Her long legs poked out under the mini skirt she wore and her boobs were about to pop out. But watching her move made me want to move. She slid her hands down my body as she dropped low, then came back up. My sweat shirt was pulled over my head and thrown into the crowd. "Keep up girl." She winked at me.

             Jennifers lips touched mine. Her hands moved across my body as we danced in sync. I didn't know how long I had been on the dance floor. Long enough to have figured out my shirt was at my feet and I was now dancing between Jennifer and Jaxon. I let my head fall backwards and I laughed out loud, not hearing anything come from my mouth.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds then opened them. I was now in Jaxon's arms, our lips glued together. His half naked body was pressed against mine as we danced. My fingers tangled with his. Jennifer was no where in sight. I leaned back and closed my eyes as Jax kissed my neck.

I opened my eyes again.

Now, I was alone on the dance floor. The bodies around me of the other people moved in slow motion. Jaxon nor Jennifer was around. But I kept dancing. My body moved like I had no control of it. Hands touched me. I didn't know who's hands they were but I turned around and fell into their arms. My lips found theirs and our tongues crossed. I didn't know who I was kissing but I liked it. I bit their bottom lip, moaning as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
