Alena's POV
"What a coincidence. You're here." I muttered. I could feel his eyes scanning me as if I'm some bar code, it'd be a different story if were Michael B. Jordan cause hot damn he could scan me repeatedly and I'd allow it. " Well, your mother did invite me, did she not?" there was no irritation or annoyance in his voice, just smooth and shit ton of composure.
"She probably invited you due to the fact you're no longer dating what's her name again?" I purposely put a finger on my chin as if I'm in deep thought and said "Oh right! Her name is Jackie Newman right? Didn't she end her engagement with Wilson Quinton to have multiple fuck sessions with you?" I couldn't contain 'I'm pissing you off aren't I look' and well I'm somewhat proud of myself.
Alena 2.0 adrenaline, you know? "News gets around fast. Maybe you'll find your next fuck buddy today! Don't forget the saying ' Don't be silly. Protect your willie' we don't want a STD ridden dick." I was on a roll! I noticed he started to clench his fist and grit his teeth. I knew he was beginning to lose his patience with the insults I'm launching his way. I knew it was childish but I felt different tonight, the kind of different where I probably grew a second head.
"You look gorgeous." his deep strong voice said, and it sent chills down my spine. If it's possible to feel 'the fuck me' vibes then honeyy I'm feeling it as if I'm getting ran over by a truck multiple times. "Thank you my date helped me pick out my dress," I said with a fat smile. I lied right through my teeth, but well he doesn't need more of an ego booster, he has enough of that. Turning towards his friends, "Hi it's nice to meet you! I'm Alena Hail, but you can call me Lena," I said genuinely happy.
"Lena?! Oh my god! You're not so little anymore!" said Xavier and suddenly I'm wrapped in his huge arms. It was the one and only Xavier that loved to make fun of me when I was still going through the ugly phases of my life. "You big ogre! Let go before I bite you!" I shouted. He looked at me with a smug look, "You pervert!" I screamed. He quickly put me down and started laughing like a maniac. The male population is slowly killing my brain cells.
Anyway, come to find out the light brown haired man is named Brandon, the man with the stubble is Xavier, and lastly the tall dark-haired man with curly hair is Alexander but people call him Xander. It's no surprise that these men are like real-life Greek gods and if I saw them on the streets I'd probably accidentally get into a car accident. "Is it necessary to shout like that? It's very unladylike." said asshole Jax. His tone sounded colder then usual. "If I wanted to be ladylike I would be in a big poofy dress and be asked to be called Cinderella dipshit." i said with my head held high. It was tempting to look at him and question what crawled up his ass and died.
Fuck it. He looked tense and completely annoyed, if looks could kill well I'd be dead on the floor right now. "What crawled up your ass and died? I didn't realize it mattered to you how I acted and carried myself. Also, I didn't realize being ladylike had to be a 25/8 lifestyle." I spat out. He suddenly started smirking, and anyone could tell he enjoyed getting me riled up. I could feel his eyes trail up and down my figure, as if I'm the last chicken nugget.
I looked straight at him with the most bored look possible, "Is there a reason for you to be looking at me as if I'm some meal? Because if you're hungry you should probably head inside and eat" I smiled a little to sweetly. I wanted to strangle that stupid mammoth face of his. I noticed Xavier and Kahlila were amused at the little scene going on between the two of us, so I flashed an actual smile in their direction.
"Have a good night boys, except you, Jax. I hope a dog chases you and bites your ass and then a skunk sprays all over you." satisfied with my farewell, Kahlila and I walked away making sure to add a little more sway to our hips.
After showing the guard our invitation, the event, my mother planned is already in full swing. "I need a drink! We hardly got here and I feel like I need a shit ton of shots" I said to my best friend, but she got dragged away by Alexander onto the dance floor before she heard what I said.
She noticed I was looking at her and gave me a thumbs up and big fat smile, I definitely didn't plan on ruining her night, so shot a smile right back at her and made sure to ungodly thrust in the air. This night was definitely going to be fun, but my date tonight is just some fancy champagne. I just needed a little alcohol in my system to keep me sane in this event. Don't even get me started on how the portions aren't big enough to even be considered a meal. If I wanted to finish my meal in one bite I would've ask for a sample food at Costco.
I'm no lightweight but I knew if I didn't find Kahlila soon, I'd be falling on my ass and embarrassing myself as well as ruining my mother's reputation. I opened my clutch and texted Kahlila within two minutes she responded saying she's out back waiting for me.
I closed my phone and began walking towards the back, and well it wasn't hard spotting finding Jax. He had a beautiful blonde chick pinned against the wall saying or doing god knows what. Quickly trying to walk past them wasn't easy considering to get to the door was to push through the two, "excuse me." I said and well my politeness was not acknowledged, "Excuse me!" I coughed loudly. My patience ran very thin in these types of events, so I did what any girl would do just to return home. "Goddamnit Jax Black!" I grabbed the back of his suit and pulled him off he blondie, "How long can you go without breathing Jesus! I need to leave through those doors you see? Please move." I said. He just stared at me like a goldfish sucking in water.
"I just want to go home and not play this cat and mouse game, I sighed. He looked shocked and seeing the small gap made I ducked and dashed out the doors.
Wearing heels will never be comfortable so I took them off and began walking outside. Seeing Kahlila's little grey Honda Civic made me happy so I ran to it. Almost ate shit but it's okay. "I'll drive like I promised!" I sighed happily. There's something different about leaving an environment you've despised your whole life. Don't get me wrong I'll grateful for all I have, but the social life of those who are of "higher status" irked me. Judgement and corruption ruled that level. One misstep and it'll tarnish your name. You don't simply make it into that society without somehow playing dirty or taking credits of others.
Arriving home
Seeing Kahlila's and i's house made me giddy cause who doesn't miss their beds? Quickly shutting the engine and closing the garages, we instantly went to our rooms to change into sweats and a loose t-shirt. "Let the titties be freeee" I yelled and our laughter echoed within the house."So that's Jax huh? It's been 3 years since you last seen him.." Kahlila said as she laid on the couch. "I will admit seeing him again brought that day back again." I whispered. Since that day he didn't acknowledge me and practically disappeared from my life. I got the memo and never bothered again. I lived my life, graduated college at 22 with a bachelors in business, opened a little bakery/cafe. I leaned my head on Kahlila's shoulder and sighed, "things are better off this way. My life is better without him. All he is, is a playboy, who simply cannot control himself."
