Bad ideas; known for making stories worth telling. Well, this idea was not mine but it needed my help, and I stupidly agreed because I was a sucker for bad ideas.
So this is how I ended up in this house, drunk out of my mind, my body pressed against Dahlia's. Her hands rested on my waist as we moved together. That's how we know blasted through the speakers and we screamed the lyrics as loud as we could.

We singed in unison after a few moments, making people stare at us, because nowadays if you were having fun and acted goofy, people judged you. But the thing is that everyone was judging everybody so you couldn't even get mad because it was the truth.
As the song came to its end, we were dancing as if we were the only ones in this room.

Make Up Sex started playing, Dahlia nervously met my gaze, asking for permission, if I was sure and okay with this plan. Sober me was not but sober me wasn't here, so I grinned and nodded my head slightly. In my inebriated mood, I was more willing to do anything than ever.

One arm of mine made its way around her neck, resting behind her platinum blonde hair. Her curls stopped by her waist, making her look like an angel as we danced in our drunken states. We could barely stand let alone move, but we didn't care because we forgot all our problems, the only thing that mattered was that for once we had fun without constantly worrying about life, even if it was only for show.

Dahlia giggled as I sang and I grinned back at her, trying to get her to relax; her shoulders were tense and her gaze scanned the room way too obviously. My other arm went around her back, stroking her gently, knowing damn well that this action would get his unfaltering attention.

Her brown eyes caught mine, "Don't start a war you know you can't win." Her voice was low, sending chills down my spine. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed that she wanted me to go further. Her brown eyes stayed on my green ones, and I knew damn well that hers weren't the only ones on me tonight. I could feel the curious eyes following my every move.

It wasn't a big house party, more like a friendly get-together but alcohol had a bad influence on us, making sure we did things we would regret in the morning.

Or just me. Probably just me.

Twenty-five people couple more or less, had the time of their life. Enjoyed every moment of their fucked-up life. Nobody had it perfect, we all had our problems and demons, but tonight they stayed hidden, no one dared to come here whining for a better life. It did not matter who we were as long as we had a drink and a beat to dance to.

Dahlia spun around and started grinding on me, moving her hips around in a way that would push men to their knees. Her seducing moves got intense so fast that I found myself holding her waist with both hands from behind, guiding her, our hot breaths mixed together, bodies pushed against each others, touching and stroking in a torturous way. She dominated and I gladly let her.

Her taunting moves started to slow down, allowing me to breathe again, and her head was stuck in one direction, enthralled even, as I followed her gaze, just as I expected, I saw him. Leaning against the wall as he angrily stared at the two of us. He seethed with anger at me more than anything because I took Dahlia's side in this argument.

"Don't be so obvious, Dahlia," I breathed against her ear. "He just might think you are trying to make him jealous." I chuckled as goosebumps rose on her skin.

"It's working, isn't it?" She croaked out breathlessly. I hummed in agreement; this girl got it bad. "You are so whipped, D. Just go over there and put him out of his misery. It looks like he's about to kill me for touching you."
She nodded her head but made no effort to go. As if she was frozen in place just at the mere sight of him. Their chemistry was undeniable, they just had a hard time expressing their feelings hence the whole fucking plan.
