Infatuated

nineteen.

I was in the front seat and Xander, Amara, and Cara are all in the backseat. When we finally settled in I asked the Uber if I can play a song. He actually agrees and hands me the aux and I decided to play one of me and Amara's favorite songs "Self Control" by Frank Ocean. "I'll be the boyfriend, in your wet dreeeeeaaams tonight." Frank sings and so does Amara and I. I look in the backseat and Xander keeps staring at me, up and down. Taking in every feature of my body. I really thought nothing of it because he's dating Cara and I would never betray my best friend / roommate like that. I turn around swiftly when I notice he was staring at me.

Fuck, he is cute. Cara is so lucky to have him, not only does he look like Lorenzo Zurzolo from head to toe, he is also the sweetest thing. But I would never betray Matt like that. He means too much to me for me to lose him over Xander.

After I played a couple more song taking requests from everyone including the Uber driver, we got to the club. He drops us off at the line to get in and boy was there a long line. "I got this." Xander says, he walks over to the bouncer and lets him know that we are here for Garson's birthday. Levi waves to us and we all nod at each other and we walk to bouncer and he lets us in.

The first thing I notice is the flashing fluorescent colors of the light in tune of the EDM song playing in the background and all of the people dancing. Then when I take in the scenery I see Garson waving hysterically at us and I tell everyone he's over there. We walk to Garson and when we get to his area we see a couple of our friends and his boyfriend Claudio.

"Hey Grayson" I say and give him a hug. "Hey Kittylitter." He hugs me back. As we both pull away he grabs me in a friendly way and looks at me up and down. "OOOOH WHOS DICK YOU GONNA HOP ON?" Garson says and I start to laugh. "Gar, I have a boyfriend." I say and tuck my excess hair behind my ear. "Oh that's right. But if you won't hop on somebody's dick you know who's dick imma ride on." He says with a smirk and looks over at Claudio. "Garson, you bold bitch. Let's go dance." I say giggling afterwards. He takes my hand and I lead him onto the dance floor. We found a good spot and we start doing various moves from twerking to the disco. We danced for a while before I say "Hey, I need some air. I'll be back." I tell Garson and he nods, then he points at Claudio and they start grinding all on the dance floor. It was fantastic.

I walk outside the club and it was pretty empty. I scroll through my notifications from Ian and such when I hear a familiar voice come out of the club. "Hey Katalina." Xander says to me exiting out of the club and stands next to me. "Hi Dork, what do you want?" I ask him with a smug look on my face. "I needed to talk to you." He says and he looks to the ground. "Okay, talk." I say putting my phone in my handbag. "Katalina." He comes closer. "I think I'm going to break up with Cara. I have just, lost interest." He says and I start to frown. "Oh, I'm sorry, if you need anything I'm here for you." I give him a hug because I felt bad for him and this would be a sad time in his life. He hugs me back. We release from the hug and he leans in and kisses me.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. He releases. "Why didn't you kiss back?" He asks and I start getting nervous. "I have a boyfriend, Xander." I say and he starts getting mad. "You're still dating that Matt dude? Don't you see I care about you? I love you Katalina. I have always been there for you when you needed me most. I just don't understand why you would date Matt when I'm right here." This was true. He has been here for me a lot and I'm so thankful for that, but I can't hurt Cara and Amara. "We belong together. Can't you see it?" He asks me and I have absolutely no words. "Give me some time to process all of this." I say and I order myself an Uber. "Protect Cara." I say and I go inside the club.

I walk over to Garson and Amara who were dancing together. "Hey guys, I'm sorry but something just came up and I have to leave. Rain check?" I ask them and they nod in synergy. "Happy Birthday Garson. I love you." I give him a hug and then his present. I give Amara a hug as well and I go outside to wait for my Uber.

The Uber came and I go home.
