Come Close To Me

C h a p t e r F i v e

"Haha you know I don't like parties." He laughs. "First of all Matt is going to be there, and second you need to hang around other guys in front of him." I guess he's right. "And besides, now you have a wonderful new wardrobe to get the guys attention." A smirk plays on his face.

"Whatever." I say rolling my eyes.

We finish our food and he drives me to my bus stop. "You can just take me to my house." He smiles. Idiot. "Tell me where to go." I give him my address and we drive to my house. "We're here." I say opening the door. He stays in. "come on." I say waving at him. He smirks and then switches the engine off. I unlock the front door and push it open.

We walk through the doorway. "This is a nice place." He says. I look at him. "Thanks. Now come on and help me decide what to wear." I direct us to my room which, thank God, I cleaned. We set the shopping bags down, and start to lay out the clothing items.

Im looking through them trying to figure out what to wear. Then I hear Ansel say "This one." I turn around to see him holding up a white dress that has a strip of fabric wrapped around the middle, and the bottom half is flowy. It's length doesn't pass my knees. It actually isn't that bad. "I'll put it on." I grab the dress and walk into the bathroom. I put on the dress. My tan skin and blue eyes suit the look. Just not my black hair.

I step out of the bathroom and sarcastically twirl. He laughs. "Ok now let down your hair." My hair doesn't look right down. It doesn't even match my complexion well. I lift my hands nervously to my ponytail, and pull out the hair tie. He looks at me smiling. "I think you look better this way." He says while fixing my hair. "Now take off that dark make-up." I roll my eyes. "I'm already out of my comfort zone so I keep the make-up." He huffs and rolls his eyes. "Whatever. At least we got this far." He walks over to the boxes of shoes.

He opens the box of tan heels. Why did I let him pick out the shoes?

He walks over laughing. "What's so funny?" I ask annoyed. "I'm just picturing you walking in these." He hands me the shoes. I Huff and put them on. When I stand I tip over and he catches me. "Thanks." I say to him. "No problem." He laughs.

He helps me practice walking in them for about an hour. We laugh while I 'catwalk' throughout my bedroom  Occasionally posing. This is actually fun. The time comes for us to leave. I brush my hair and put on some eyeliner quickly, and walk out to Ansel's car.

We hop in and he starts the engine. "Ok it's nine we can leave at eleven." I nod in agreement.

We drive and this time we actually have a conversation. Even if it is about what to do and how to act around Matt and the other boys. We pull into the driveway and he switches off the engine.

We get out of the car And walk inside. There are a ton of people and a lot of them seem to be drinking. Great. I look around the room to see if Laylas here, but instead I see Matt and Stella dancing. I roll my eyes. "There he is." I tell Ansel. "Ok now you see that group of guys next to him?" I look to see who he's talking about. And when I see them. I'm not pleased. Three guys are talking to each other and they have obviously had too much to drink. Fun.

"I see them." I say looking at Ansel. "Alright now we are going to do what we talked about." I nod to show him I'm listening even though I'm not looking forward to this. "Ok well remember to be likable. It's ok if they seem like perverts but what's important is that you get Matt's attention. It's convenient that they're standing next to him. Just make sure to play hard to get." I nod my head once again before we walk over there.

When we're walking to the boys, I hear murmers. I walk up to the them and say what I've rehearsed. "Are y'all busy talking or should I come back another time?" I say in a dumb voice.

One of the boys smile. I wink at him. "No we ain't busy. Come over here and dance with me Mami." So unattractive. Instead of showing it, I smile and walk over to him. Ansel looks weird. Uncomfortable maybe? I look at him and frown. He pulls his fingers to his face and gestures for me to smile. I nod.

I back up to the guy and shake my hips against him to the beat. The guy to the left of us licks his lips. The guy I'm dancing with stands still. I stop dancing and turn to face him. In a seductive voice I whisper "bored?" He smirks.

I look at the guy to our left And step towards him. "let's dance." I say then I squat to the ground and slide back up rubbing my ass up against him. He bites his lower lip. I place my hands on his shoulders and whisper "Nervous?"I smile and walk over to the third guy who has his thumb resting on his lips.
I smile at him.

I wrap my arms around his neck, and he puts him hands on my butt. I look behind me and then turn back to face him biting my lower lip. I spin around and walk over to Ansel who is closest to Matt.

This time I don't smile I turn so that my back is facing him. I shake my hips against him like I did the other guy. I feel Ansel's hands place themselves on my waist and his hips begin to move with mine.

I can see Matt staring at us out of the corner of my eye. I smile. And turn to face Ansel. I place my finger on his lips and he smirks. I let out a small laugh. He spins me around so that I'm facing Matt and I can feel Ansel's warm breath on my neck. I feel chills run down my spine. Matt is looking straight into my eyes. He looks jealous and confused. I hear Ansel whisper into my ear. "It's working. Good job."
