Told By Us (Completed)

Parties prt 2

          I slowly turned around. I breathed a breath of relief when I seen that it was Mellow. I pulled him away from the room so Ben wouldn't see me. He smiled brightly as if he had been given a Grammy.

  "Why are you so happy," I asked disturbed.

  " I just seen the best thing in the basement. Have you been down there yet?"

  " Umm.. no and I don't think I want to, if it's got you smiling."

    I walked ahead to a second room. When I stepped in, there was mostly people playing guitar hero, or dancing along to it.

   " Where in the world did she get that from," Mellow asked pointing to a chocolate fountain. My eyes went wide. Mellow and I being the childish people we are stick our hands under it. Well Mellow put his face in it, but all the same.

   "Eww.. who invited the booty lickers," a voice shouted from behind.

   Mellow and I swiftly turned around. My eyes darted directly on her. We stood at a deadlock for what seemed like hours.

" I knew I smelled something.... mmm.. how should I put it... smacky," Issa said fanning in front of her nose.

  " Oh are you sure it wasn't your upper lip," I snapped back.

" Ha.. ha.. ha.. I bet you think that was very funny."

  " I would say that was clever but then again it's you I'm talking to." After saying that she stepped closer to me. Her heels clicking with every step. She put her lips to my ear. I felt her breath and it sent a shiver down my spine. And not in a good way.

" You better be careful with the next thing that comes out of your mouth, or your going to regret ever showing up."

She was now at face length. Our faces so close they could touch. She smiles. Not long after that she laughs. She turns whipping her hair in my face. My fist clenched. Before completely leaving the room she puts her hand on the frame of the door way.

" Nice talk," she blows a kiss.

    I look at the assembled crowd around me. I felt so defeated. I ran out of the room to the nearest bathroom. Mellow wouldn't have stood up for me even if he wanted to. Issa had a secret or "dirt" on everybody. It was crazy, because no one ever knew how she found out about they're business. I turned on the water. I put my hands under it and then put my fingers through my hair. My head felt hotter then usual.

  There was a sudden knock on the door.

  " Mellow is that you," I asked my ear to the door.

   " Actually no, it's Ben."

   My heart suddenly stopped. I put my hand on the knob. Only to lock it. I didn't know what to do. He must have heard it, because he sighed.

   " Why do you avoid me so much Jamie?"

   " Because your no good for me Ben. Plus why are you always around?"

   " huh? I don't get it?"

   " Every time I turn around your there. No matter how much I try to avoid you." I took a deep breath. " Just leave me alone ok."

  " One dance."

   " Huh?"

   " Just give me one dance and I'll leave you alone forever."

    Was he serious. Did he really want to dance with me. Or was it some type of sick joke. Although I did always over think everything. A part of me really wanted to. But the other half just wanted to stay in that bathroom forever. Not, because I was embarrassed, but because it was a cute set up.

   I slowly opened the door. He smiled at me with the same old smile. Instead of hating it I just enjoyed it. He held out his hand. Obviously,I took it. He led me to the living room. At the time a slow song was playing. I didn't know it, but I danced to it anyway.

  " Ouch," Ben winced.

  " I'm sorry, I don't dance. Are you okay?" 

  " Haha I'm just kidding." I punched him in the arm.

" Jerk."

      He just laughed. Then he pulled me in closer. I laid my head on his chest. Even over the music I heard his heartbeat. We swayed. The music seemed perfect in time. My thoughts and frustrations went away. He smelled so good. It seemed like the more we danced, the more I wanted to leave, because I knew that when the song was up, so was the magic.

  " I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
Yes I do
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
Gonna be your man
Better not pass me by
'Cause if you do
You lose a good thing."

That song reminded me so much of what was happening. We looked at each other. His eyes... oh god his eyes were so brown.

" You know this song," he asked. I shook my head.

" Well it's wanna be your man. By Zappa and Roger."

" It does sound a little familiar," I whispered.
I looked back up at him. We looked into each other's eyes. My brain was melting from how close his face was. The song ended and I stopped midway.

" Umm.. excuse me."

" Jamie, wait."

Without letting him finish I left the living room. I eventually found Myah passed out on the pool table. I picked her up and took her home, in her car. I ended up walking home. We didn't live to far apart. I checked on Juna, who was sound asleep in his bed.

I went in my room, closed the door. Once I closed the door, I laid on the bed. The memory of the day came back to me, every time I blinked. I turned on my side. Something else came to me though. Mellow had disappeared like he always did.

I sighed and closed my eyes one more time. This time I didn't open them for awhile. Seeing Ben in a series of flashes made my head spin. The first time I slow danced with him. I felt bad. All at the same time I felt a smile grow on my face. What a day man. What a day.
