Playing Games

Chapter 2

SAVANNAH POV

I make my way to the dance floor, becoming completely engulfed by the sweaty crowd of party goers. They're all cheering loudly as another popular song comes on, and the bass is so hard that the inside of my ears feel itchy.

I slightly feel out of place as I dance by myself because everyone else is in a group, but it isn't very hard to blend myself in and make it look like I actually know people in this club. The song that's playing is one of my favorites, and it isn't hard to lose myself in it and forget about everything else surrounding me. 

Suddenly, someone very tall bumps into me, and both of our eyes widen once we see each other. 

"Xiu?" I shout over the music.

"Savannah, hey!" Xiu exclaims, smiling at me.

"I thought you couldn't make it!" I yell.

"I was getting ready, that's why I couldn't answer your calls. Sorry about that!"

"Are you here by yourself, too?" I ask, and she nods.

"Yep!" She says cheerfully, and I furrow my eyebrows.

"Where's Levi?" I ask flirtatiously, and she rolls her brown eyes.

Levi is the guy she told us about when she first went to New York University. Alex and I just know that she's trying to hide something from us about what's going on between the two of them. 

I don't blame Xiu if she did hook up with him, though.

"I don't know, probably still in New York! Besides, nothing even happened between us." Xiu insists, and I smirk.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." I reply sardonically.

Xiu just huffs before we dance together, laughing and taking pictures and having a good time. When the summer is over, I'm definitely going to miss her when she returns to New York. It was a tearful goodbye when she had to leave us the first time, and I know that it'll be the same when she has to return. 

We walk over to the bar, taking a couple of shots. The feeling of it oozing out of the glass and down my throat makes my esophagus burn, but after a while, my veins feel like they're buzzing. It doesn't take much for me to get drunk.

We return to the dance floor, intensely dancing and singing along. Out of nowhere, a guy walks in front of me, and another one is behind me. I don't bother trying to object to this. An excited grin spreads across my face as I begin to grind against them simultaneously. 

I'm definitely not stupid enough to resist this.

The man behind me holds onto my waist, moving upward to my breasts. A drunken giggle is released from my mouth, and I moan as the man in front of me begins to kiss on my neck. It's so sudden, but I don't want either of them to stop what they're doing. 

I feel a tingling sensation in my bones, not just from the liquor, but the excitement and slight arousal is making my body feel light. My body is literally melting in their hands, the sweat on our bodies makes my endorphins rush. Everything around us is completely obscured as I'm staring this man in the eyes.

He has really pretty bluish-gray eyes and a sharp jaw, and his hair looks like a light brown or maybe blonde; I can't really tell at this particular moment. The veins in his hands are definitely noticeable, and his biceps look like they could burst out of his henley.
