Mackenzie Ziegler

•••

Johnny blinks back at me, obviously not expecting me to hear a word he just said. I shrug my shoulders at him, taking my champagne flute to my lips innocently.

He struggles to keep the smile off his lips, and I turn away, thinking Mackenzie– one, Johnny– zero. After a while of silence, I watch him turn towards me out of the corner of my eye.

"What is your name?" He asks curiously.

Biting my lip, I force the grin away. "Mackenzie."

When our food gets served to us, I don't even give him a second glance– knowing that he's used to girls falling at his feet. Instead, I converse with Brynn, moaning about all the homework we have. She agrees loudly, but stops talking after a while. I follow where her eyes are wandering, and over on the next table her boyfriend's picking at his food with two empty seats beside him. She looks at me, and I sigh, laughing under my breath.

"Go!"

"What? No I couldn't-" She starts, eyes travelling back to him.

"Brynn, if you don't get your butt over there right now I swear I'll grab you and take you over there myself."

"Are you sure? You'll be alone–"

"No she won't." I hear someone say from behind me. Brynn and I both turn to see who spoke, and I almost roll my eyes when I see that it's Johnny. "She has me." He winks.

Brynn chokes back a laugh and raises her eyesbrows at him. "Just go!" I say loudly, giving her a little push.

She finally leaves, shooting me an amused look as she departs. I blush at how obvious she's being.

"So, Mackenzie."

"Yes?" I question cheekily. "That is me."

"Oh nothing. I just like the sound of your name." He shrugs, obviously flirting. I flush, knowing that I'm actually good at this.

"Oh, that funny." I giggle. "Because I don't like the sound of yours."

"Really?" He gasps, holding a hand over his chest in mock hurt.

"Uh huh." I trail off, turning away to find my wine glass and stealing a moment to myself. I sip from the bubbling liquid, calming myself. He's so attractive he's got my heart beating just from his words, but I can't let him see that.

"How did you know my name?"

"Excuse me?" I laugh, resting a hand on my stomach.

"You said you didn't like my name but I never told you it."

"I've been Lauren's bestfriend for twelve years of my life." I laugh, looking into his eyes. They're green, but it's a startling kind of colour. A colour that should scream playfulness and admiration; but right now they seem confused.

For the rest of the night, he shamelessly keeps flirting with me, and I flirt right back. We talk about school, and our friends– basically life in general. If it weren't for the other people at the table cutting in every once in a while, it would've felt like it was just us. I made the mistake of looking over at Brynn and Zach once, and they gave me suggestive looks. Lauren was sitting with them too, and I saw her give Johnny a once over, nodding her head. I only smiled.

When the party was almost over, and people started to leave the building, Johnny shamelessly turns to me and asks for my number. Blushing slightly, I rattle off my ten digits and he writes them into his phone. He then steals my phone, which was sitting on the table in hope that he would ask, and adds himself as a contact. I grin, standing up and grabbing my purse.

"It was really nice to see you Mackenzie." He says generously, and I smile.

"You too." I say, giving him a quick hug. Lets just say he's very strong, I can feel that, but he's also very aroused.

Knowing that it's my curvy dress doing the trick, I bid him goodbye before walking over to Brynn and Zack- making sure that he'll see my slender legs and my black high heels as I go.
