Cole's POV

I watched Kenzie stand there with a confused expression on her face. She quickly covered it up and headed for another drink. I wanted to kick Quinn's ass for making a move on my girl. If it wasn't for the fact that he's drunk and I don't want to wreck my friendship, i would. Due to her confused expression i knew there was nothing going on between them. Seeing her face helped calm my anger.

As i walked up behind her, i wrapped my arms around her waist. She immediately jumped away and spun around to face me.

"Don't startle me like that! Didn't you know its not polite to scare a lady?"

"You're not a lady, nor do you dance like one." I winked at her and i could have sworn she blushed but the lights were to dim to tell. Grabbing her soft hands i pulled her to the dance floor.

The song Candyman by Christina Aguilera came on. I twirled Kenzie around and she giggled. When she faced me again she had a naughty smirk on her face and I couldn't wait to see what she was up to.

''There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
He's a one stop shop, makes the panties drop
He's a sweet-talkin', sugar coated candy man.'

Kenzie was mouthing the lyrics or maybe she was singing, but i couldn't hear anything over the loud music. She was dancing seductively, moving her hips to the rhythm and running her hands along her body.

It has to be the hottest thing I've ever seen. All i wanted to do was run my hands over her skin tight outfit and pull her in close. Every time i would get close she would back away and smirk. She knew what she was doing and it was driving me crazy.

'Well by now I'm getting all bothered and hot.
When he kissed my mouth he really hit the spot.
He had lips like sugar cane.
Good things come to boys who wait.'

As she mouthed this part of the song she tipped her head back and ran her fingers through her long hair all while her hips kept moving smoothly. As she brought her head forward she bit her lip and slowly ran her hands across her ample chest. To say i was turned on would be the under statement of the century.

I barely knew anything about her and I've only kissed her once but i need her like i need air. Ive given up on fighting the way i feel about her. I just wish she would feel the same about me or if she already does that she would at least show it. Even showing it a little bit would help.

As the song came to an end she wrapped her arms around my neck. Her breath fanned across my neck sending goosebumps all over my skin.

"That could be our song." She whispered as she nibbled on my ear. All I wanted to do was carry her up to my room. I would love to hear her sweet moans again. When i kissed her in the locker room it was unexpected but it was the best kiss i had ever had. It was also the first time i kissed a girl i had serious feelings for.

"You drive me crazy. This isn't fair." I groaned and wrapped my arms around her. Im not sure where the time went but people had begun to filter out and part ways. Surprisingly she let me hold her. I mouthed 'slow song' at the dj and he played the song Crazy Girl by Eli Young Band.

"All is fair in love and war Cole." I felt like her words had a double meaning but i pushed it to the back of my mind.

'Wouldn't last a single day
I'd probably just fade away
Without you, I'd lose my mind
Before you ever came along
I was livin' life all wrong'

I quietly sang along as i held her close as we swayed to the music. Before she came along i was definitely living life all wrong.

"Let's get you to bed." She went to protest but sighed in defeat. I scooped her up bridal style and she let out a short yelp of surprise. God she's so beautiful. If only she knew. I could look at her for hours and never be tired of seeing her face. I loved the way her eyes always were full of mischief.

As i laid her down in bed she was trying her best to fight off sleep. She glanced around and frowned at the room she was in.

"Why am i in the guest room?" Between her sleep filled eyes and her pouty lips, she was adorable. I wanted to kiss her so bad but I didn't want to be slapped. Im surprised she didn't slap me in the locker room. I thought putting her in the guest room was what she would have wanted since last time she freaked out on me when she woke in my room.

"I thought you'd be more comfortable here."

"No I'd rather be in your room." She mumbled hazily. "No weirdos will go in there." I couldn't help but laugh at her reasoning but i was happy to comply. Again i scooped her up and walked her to my room. Closing the door behind me with my foot, i laid her on my king size bed. Looking through my closet i found and old t-shirt for her to slip into.

She smiled when she seen the shirt. "Help me get my boots off?"

She doesn't even know what she does to my heart. Kenzie has my wrapped around her finger. I'd do anything for her, especially if it makes her happy. I helped her unzip her boots and set them aside. Giving her some privacy, i turned around to let her change. The old me wouldn't have done that but i didn't want her to think i was just another guy only wanting to sleep with her. Sure i wanted to sleep with her but i also wanted more than that. I wanted her to be my girl and i wanted everyone to know she was mine. Hopefully I don't mess things up because I don't think i could stand by and watch another guy be with her.

"Mmhmk im done." Turning around to look at her took my breath away. Even in an old, over sized t-shirt she was stunning. She could wear a burlap sack and be just as beautiful. The shirt came almost to the middle of her toned thighs. Oh how id love for those to be wrapped around me.

Damnit Cole get a grip. Its so hard to focus when she looks at me the way she does while only wearing MY shirt. I directed her towards the bed and tucked her in. Her eye lids flickered close and i quietly made my way to the door. I needed to make sure everyone was out before i went to bed my self.

"Cole?" Came her sweet voice. I hummed in response.

"Come lay with me? Please." How could i say no to that. I had responsibilities but i may not get this chance again so i said to hell with the party. Making my way towards the bed i slipped off my costume and was left in a pair of shorts.

I slid in bed next to her but made sure not to touch her.

"I said lay with me, not beside me." She sure was demanding even sleepy and drunk. Kenzie rolled over and wiggled her self under my arm and rested her head on my chest. At first i froze waiting for it to be my mind playing games on me, but the feeling of her silky hair and warm breath on my chest said differently. I wrapped my arm tightly around her and kissed the top of her head.

Id do anything for her to always be beside me like this. She's never shown this much emotion and it made me wonder if the alcohol was to blame. Either way i was not complaining. I let my self fall into one of the best nights sleep I've had in years.
