Between the Lust

Chapter 8❤️

| Craig Crippen Jr. |

I glanced at my watch and tapped my foot impatiently. 'Where is she?' I quietly stated.

Giving up, I let out a sigh and headed toward my car.

I sat in the front seat, placing my head on the wheel, when my phone went off from sending a reminder.

| Audrey-Marie |

I let out a grunt from struggling to put on my boot cut, laced heels, while being rushed by Hayden and Tay to come downstairs.

'Hurry up so we can see your outfit!' Hayden called. I toyed with my now straighted hair, putting every strand in its right place. I went out of the room and headed downstairs to be greeted by compliments.

'Get it. With you looking like that, panties will be dropping.' Taylor smiled. 'Audrey's still got it'

I slightly smiled, but it quickly faded from me still thinking of Craig's forgetfulness. I peeked at my phone. No texts, no calls. Of course.

Hayden't attention turned to me, obviously noticing my expression. 'Don't tell me that you're still thinking about Craig's ignorant ass.'

I looked up with hurt written on my face. Thinking back to all the times that Craig's hurt me emotionally, my hurt soon turned into a devilish smirk.

I took out my phone, dialing numbers in and pressing the 'call' button as quick as possible. I waited 3 rings, then he finally answered.

'Hello?' His deep but yet graceful voice filled my ears.

'Jacob?' I said in a pleased tone.

'Hey, what's up?'

'Well..' I bit my lip. 'I was actually going to ask if you wanted to go to the club with me tonight?'

He sighed. 'Dri, I'm-'

"Pleeease Jake? For me?' I begged.

He groaned. 'Fine, Fine.'

'Yay! Meet us at Club Soho in 30 minutes, okay?'

'Alright, see you there.'

I hung up the phone, turning back to Tay and Hayden. 'Craig who?'

| Jacob Perez |

I got out of the car, arriving at Club Soho. As lazy as I was, I decided to just go, mostly to please Audrey. But hey, you can't NOT have a good time at a club, can you?

'ID please.' The bouncer asked. I reached in my back pocket and handed it to him, letting him know that I was the appropriate age. He nodded, handed me my ID, and opened the velvet rope, letting me inside. I walked inside to feel a quick breeze rush past my body.

Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe by Kendrick Lamar blared through the speakers. The first thing I did was try and look for Audrey.

I began to make my way around the club, bumping into people in the process. After about 10 solid minutes of looking, I finally spotted Audrey. Her, Taylor, and Hayden were all sitting on an extended couch, along with some other people.

She immediately saw me and stopped talking. 'Jacob!' She yelled, getting up and hugging me. I smiled as her strawberry scented perfume caught my attention. 'Hey.' I laughed.

She brought her face up to meet mine, with her arms still around my neck. 'I'm glad you came'
