●ANNIE●
I asked myself why I had even let myself get rejected twice. I mean, what the fuck was I thinking?
I had spent the next few nights thinking about how we almost kissed. I just couldn't stop thinking about him.
To make matters worse, his birthday was tonight and Rachelle, Knockout and Grim had all planned a party at one of the clubs they owned.
I didn't want to make it too suspicious of how I felt about Jay. So really, I had no choice but to go. Besides, I couldn't get out of it. Especially when Rachelle told me that Ricky asked about me.
Again, he is very cute and very sweet. But he also is a few years younger than me. But he would be a good friend.
The club was nice and there were pool tables upstairs along with a jukebox, tables, bar stools and a dance floor. It looked like a club you would go to in Vegas.
The music was going and when Rachelle spotted Jay, she took my hand and we walked up to him and the group of guys he was talking to.
Rachelle interrupted and gave him a hug. "Happy birthday brother." She said while handing him a gift.
"Thanks." He said with a smile.
He then looked at me and I just handed him his gift and told him, 'Happy Birthday'.
To which he thanked me as well. Rachelle then took my hand and we walked off to the bar.
As we ordered our drinks and took a few shots.
"Are you and my brother?......" Rachelle says while leaning in towards me a little bit.I quickly interrupt her. "Don't worry. Nothing is happening and nothing will." I smile at her.
She looked at me as though she wasn't entirely convinced.
We took a few more shots until Ricky came up behind me with his friend, Aaron. Who right away asked Rachelle to dance with her after we all were introduced.
I took my eighth shot as I looked over towards where Jay was at and was now seeing Tammy flirting with him and trying to touch his chest. He didn't seem to be pushing her away.
I knew it. She was his type. I thought to myself. I took two more shots hoping that it would get rid of the images I just saw.
Ricky asked me if I wanted to dance. To which I thought, 'fuck it' why not?!
I took his hand and we headed out towards the dance floor and started dancing together next to Rachelle and Aaron who seemed to be hitting it off really good.
Ricky and I were dancing close to each other and very quickly I began feeling light headed.
I excused myself and headed outside towards the front, to get some air.
As I stood outside, quickly realizing that I forgot to bring a jacket, I start feeling two hands rub my arm up and down.
Ricky turns me to face him and he is a bit drunk himself and tries to lean in and kiss me. I push him away with my hand.
"Ricky, no." I push him away.
"Oh come on. Don't be such a tease." He said, though he sounded a bit forceful.
'Not again.' I thought.
"I'm sorry if you got the wrong impres...." I began.
But Ricky cut me off by forcefully placing his lips onto mine.
"Stop it! I said no." I slapped him and he slapped me.
The next thing I heard was a man growling and saw Jay quickly walking up to him and pushing him out of the way and down on the ground.
"GET THE FUCK OFF HER!" He growled.
"Relax Jay. Fuck." Ricky gets up.
"Get the fuck out of here before I beat you so bad that not even dental records would be able to identify you." He said.
"Alright. Chill the fuck out bro." Ricky said while leaving.
"Are you OK?" Jay calmly asks me while placing his hand on the side of my cheek.
I just smile at his soft touch.
"Come on. Lets get you home." He offers.
I nod my head and he puts his jacket over me as we start heading out.
