His Mistress, Her Nightmare (COMPLETED)

Party Girls

My girls got ready early, so we can all help Amerie get ready. She packed about 10 different options, to choose from, for both parties. "This stuff is cute!" Jaydah looks through the options. "I'm saying." Lilah chimes in. "They all have price tags on them. Wow." I say. "I told you I don't go out." Amerie says. We decide for her to wear an army print tube top, jumpsuit, with her clear heels. She didn't bring as much options, for shoes, so she'll have to wear these tomorrow, for the Christmas party. We parted her wet and wavy hair, down the middle and Zora did her makeup. I decided to wear my green, yellow and white sweater dress, my mom got me, for Christmas, last year. It's a designer dress so I know it didn't cost under $400. I'm wearing some cute white, boots with heels, to match.

Per usual, Zora drives us to the party, so we pile into her car. We always give her gas money, even though she never asks for it. She says it's her preference to drive so we don't have to. Jaydah and Lilah are drinking their mixed drinks, while Zora and I stay sober. Amerie is only 19, so of course she's not supposed to drink. "You gotta take one shot." Jaydah says. I almost break my neck leaning up, to look at her. "She's 19." I say. "So were you, when we first started drinking. She needs to loosen up." She's right. Amerie is so nervous, she's tense. The most she's had, to my knowledge, is wine coolers. "Do you want to?" I ask her. She ponders, for a moment. "Ehh, what the hell, I'm sure I passed my finals." She takes the shot of Henny. She makes that face, everyone makes when drinking straight liquor. This should be an interesting night.

When we pull up, Zora and I decide to take shots too. Now that Amerie is two shots in, we can't let her beat us. It's probably all we'll do, just to be on the safe side. JB is getting us in free again and I couldn't be happier. I may have money but I don't like spending it on anything but food and clothes. Devin, Warren, Dayquan and Jeremy are going to meet us inside. I'm sure they're somewhere in the parking lot, pregaming too. "Alright, let's do this. Last party of the semester." Zora says. A wave of "yasss" rolls over the car, as we get out. Of course, we get the usual stares. "What's up with them?" Amerie asks. "Girl we get it all the time. we're used to it." Jaydah says and flips her hair. JB greets us all. "This is my cousin Amerie." I introduce them. "Damn, is your whole click AND family fine?" JB says loud enough, for half the line, to hear. "Wow, thank you." Amerie says shyly. "Thank you, Crazy." I say.

We walk in and look around, for the guys. I see Devin and I practically jump into his arms. "Somebody missed me." He smiles and kisses me. I'm not normally into PDA but I think the guilt is making me do all kinds of crazy stuff. "I did." I answer. I know we won't stay with them, the whole party but I do kinda wish Amerie had someone. She's still young but we all need a lil bae. I'm sure she'll loosen up, by the end of the night and get somebody's number. I don't know why she doesn't feel confident in herself but we are here to make sure she knows she's beautiful. "I'm pretty sure everybody is drunk as hell, because finals kicking or kicked they ass." Jaydah says. We all laugh. Parties are never this lit by 11.

Fever by Vybz Kartel plays and everyone looks at me. When it comes to Reggae, I go hard! I'm a West girl, from the West Indies; it's only right. "Come on now, Amerie. You're a West, too!" I grab her hand whine, so she can follow suit. She gives in and what we see surprises us. She can actually move. "Yassss." We hype her up. "Where has this girl been hiding?" I laugh. "In my bedroom." Amerie laughs. We continue dancing and having a bomb ass time. A slow song comes on and I see JB heading this way. Campus already knows that Devin and I are an item but I don't know if JB cares. He's not ugly or anything but I have Devin...and Marcus. "Can I have this dance?" He asks Amerie. Me and my girls all look at each other, in shock. Amerie looks at me and I push her toward him. I am actually here for this.

***

Everything went so smoothly, last night. I'm hoping that tonight is just as fun. I only get a plus one, so only Amerie is coming with me. I'm sure all my girls are spending their night, with their men anyway. Thankfully Devin was very understanding and it helped that his job scheduled him to work tonight. I honestly don't know if I would have wanted him to come anyway. I can't hold back my smile, when I see Marcus. Amerie has already seen that. I'm going to look bomb as hell, so I know he won't be able to stop looking either. "Sorry, I don't have much formal wear." Amerie apologizes. She's wearing a yellow, fitted dress with spaghetti straps and she look's bomb. Zora came over and did her make up again. "Girl, trust me. You will be better dressed than half of those people." I laugh.

We pull and fix ourselves, one last time. I opted to wear a hunter green velvet dress, with long sleeves and my entire back out. I decided to wear my gold strap heels and a new gold clutch. As we walk in, I already see a few coworkers. I sign us in and head into the ballroom. "Yassss, Charity!" Teyana basically runs up to me. Thank you, girl. You look good too, sis!" I say. She gives me a full turn. "This is my cousin, Amerie. Amerie, this is the crazy Tee, I was talking about." I laugh. "Why you gotta do me like that?" She laughs, as they hug. "Come on, let's get some drinks!" She says, dragging us along. I wave to a few coworkers and secretly look for Marcus. Lorenzo made a hunch punch. How ratchet, ha! "This is good, Lorenzo!" I say. He knows a lil something. Thankfully, Amerie doesn't want to drink, after yesterday. She can drive us back, if I get too drunk.

We grab us some of the food, from the buffet, and find us some open seats, at Teyana's table. I knew the food would be good and I'm ready to dive in. I have fried chicken, baked mac & cheese, green beans, corn bread and sweet tea. If this isn't the most Southern meal I've ever had, I don't know what is. I dig into the chicken and jam to the music. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Marcus finally come in...with his wife. Damn, how did I forget that he'd bring her. She's his wife. Damn, she looks good too. I can't deny that. They sit at a table, across the ballroom just in my view, to be nosey. Regardless, he's going to have to speak to me. Once he does, he'll see how bomb I look.

I finish my plate and decide to go talk to Romar and James. Guess who they're talking to? Marcus. "I'll be back." I tell Amerie. I walk over and before I could there, all three men are in awe. "Damn, who are you?" Romar asks. "You are so funny." I say sarcastically. "Y'all clean up nice though." I say. "You know how I do." James says. Pathetic. Marcus stares for a while and it makes me nervous. That good nervous. "You look nice, Charity." He finally says. "Thank you." I try not to smile too hard but he looks damn good in his tux. His wife is a lucky woman. We talk for a while, before I decide to go back to Amerie. I know once I walk away, they'll all be looking. I just so happen to glance at Jasmine and she gives a small smile. I wave happily, like I don't know what I'm doing. I'm sure her man was watching me walk away.

About an hour in, we're on the dance floor, trying not to let the drinks get to us. We're still at a work event so we can't just be bussing it open. My phone vibrates, in my hand and it's a text from Marcus. Come downstairs. That's all the text said and that's all I needed to know. I'm two hunch punch cups in and I'm feeling myself. "Bathroom break." I say to Amerie, over the music. Thankfully she just went and she doesn't have to go. I sneak out, past our coworkers and head downstairs. This is where all the alcohol is held. Only managers have access to this area. "You are gorgeous." I hear Marcus say, as I take my last step down. "Why thank you." I smile. We just stare at each other. The sexual tension rises and I run up to him.

He pulls me into the vault and closes the door. We continuing kissing and he lifts me up, onto one of the coolers. It's cold in here but it's hot too. He stands in between my legs and hold me by my waist. He kisses on the side of my face and my neck. He better not leave a hickey. There's no way I can explain that. He pulls back, a little and stares at me, lustfully. I know what he wants to do. "Marcus, we can't. Someone could come down here." I say. "I know." He says. "We work here." "I know." "Your wife is upstairs." "Charity, I know." He says, almost frustratingly. We start kissing again and I almost give in but he pulls back. "Shit, you're right. If Lorenzo's drink finishes again, he's going to have to come back down here." He says, finally coming to his senses. "Yea." I say, out of breath. I'm hot and bothered. I just wanna take him home but I know that can't happen.

"I'll go up, first."I say, as he helps me off of the cooler." We kiss one last time, before I leave. I walk back into the ballroom and realize that I probably should've actually went to the bathroom. I detour to the bathroom and walk in, to see Jasmine. "Oh hey!" I'm so shocked, I pretty much yelled. "Hey!" She says back. "Enjoying the party?" "Yea, it's nice. People are getting drunk and doing crazy things." Little does she know. "Right!" "Well, I'll see you out there." She heads out and I let out a sigh of relief. I can't believe I just almost had sex, with her man, again.
