Chapter Ten

“Mia relax, stop looking at it like it’ll bite you, it won’t hurt you,” Mr Wade grinned cutting the engine.

I shook my head, “I don’t know, it looks pretty big.”

“It is big,” He replied giving me a wink.

I shot him a look, he wiggled his brows and I groaned, “You’re a pervert, I was talking about the party! There is so many people here, can’t you take someone else?”

He laughed a little loudly, “Mia we’re two hours from town and I want to bring you, relax and don’t forget.”

“Call me Noah.” I mocked his voice.

I walked up behind him, grabbing his arm tightly as a group of giggling women rushed past us. All giving me a scowl as they past us, the same women from the football club. Just perfect.

“Please don’t leave me alone,” I said quietly, I was actually really nervous.

Mr Wade turned and gave me a smile, “I’m not going to ditch you, promise.”

Music was pumping loudly as we walked into the yard, still clinging to Mr Wade as he walked over to the keg and grabbed two plastic cups, he gave me another smirk and chuckled, “let me pour you a drink darling’ but I kind of need my hand to pour it.”

I let go, feeling my cheeks flush and not because he called me darling but because I didn’t realize I was holding onto him so tightly, “sorry,” I murmured.

“It’s ok, is coke ok for you? I don’t really want to get you drunk since I think your dad would literally kill me,” he chuckled.

“Coke is good,” I replied back to him.

Mr Wade led me towards spot over to the side, away from all the crowded people and quieter so we could talk and hear each other. I was still pretty nervous about being here with him but the nerves were slowly easing.

“Tell me when you’re tired and we’ll head home,” he said.

I raised my brow, “Umm you do realise that you’re drinking and I can’t drive.”

He stopped as his drink came to his lips and frowned, “You can’t drive?”

I shook my head, “No.”

“I’ll teach you, it’s not that hard and plus it’ll be fun,” he shrugged taking a mouthful.

Oh now that was going to be embarrassing, he seeing me drive. Dad should have been teaching me, but he kept putting it off. I smiled and nodded, taking a sip of my own.

Three hours later and I was getting a slight headache, Noah and his friends who were at the club today were drinking and laughing, celebrating their big win and talking about the next game. Of course they were chatting with me, but I preferred to keep quiet and watch. The girls were also back over here and hanging off the men. I sat to the side, I hadn’t left my spot and Noah’s friends refilled my coke for me, I was glad I didn’t have to leave my spot.
