Signals Crossed

7

When they got there, the party already seemed out of control. Most of the kids there were Juniors and Seniors.

"You made it!" Mike shouted as he hugged both of them at the same time.

"How much have you had buddy?" Yauch asked as he patted him on the back.

Mike let go and waved it off. "One or two...no biggie."

"How about you slow down a bit."

"I agree." Mel chimed in.

Mike looked at them curiously then he laughed. "It's funny. You two look like a couple."

Yauch and Mel gave one another a puzzled look then turned back to Mike. "Let's get you some water." Yauch said then headed for the kitchen with him.

As she scanned the room, she saw Ad and Suzie making out on the couch. She couldn't take her eyes off of them at first. Although she was burning with jealousy, it was fascinating to watch how he kissed and where he placed his hands.

"Here." Yauch said holding a bottle of water out to her. "Mel?"

She did not hear him as she continued to study the make out session.

"You sure you want to do that to yourself?"

Mel snapped out of it and faced him. "You are right. Thank you." She said and took the water.

"Hey!" Suzie said loudly as she walked over to them. "Glad you made it." She said then hugged Yauch tightly and pinched his ass.

Mel's mouth dropped open.

Yauch turned to Mel after Suzie walked away.

"What the fuck dude?"

Yauch shook his head. "She is def not shy."

"Would Ad like to know she goes around pinching the asses of other men?"

Just then Ad wrapped his arms around Mel from behind. "You are here."

She almost collapsed into his arms. She did not want him to let go.

"Are you seriously drinking water? Come on." Ad said then grabbed her hand and led her towards the bar.

"Ad-rock! Come on, man."

Ad stopped and turned to his friend. "Yauch, bro...quit being an old man. Shit."

Yauch threw his arms up in defeat. He then headed for the fridge and got himself a beer.

As Ad and Mel did a few jello shots, Suzie came over and whisked him away.

Mel felt a bit dizzy as she tried to walk over to the wall or a chair.

"7 minutes in heaven!!!!" Someone shouted. Mel saw a girl and a guy pulled into the closet, door closed. People were whistling and cheering.

She finally found the wall and leaned against it.
"Well, that's better."

In the distance she could see Ad and Suzie, but they seem to be arguing about something.

"Hey." Yauch said then held her face to look at her. "Are you okay?"

She smiled and nodded. "I had some jello shots with Rock."

"Obviously."

"Look." She said then stuck her tongue out revealing a greenish blue color stain. "See?!"

Yauch smiled and nodded as you would when a child shows you something they think is super cool. "I can see that."

She nodded. "I told you."

"Let's go sit down." He suggested then walked her over to the sofa.

They both relaxed and leaned back. Mel leaned towards him and their heads met.

"You okay?" He asked loudly so he could be heard over the music.

"Yessss."

"Do you want to go?"

"No!"

He chuckled then lifted his hand and made a fist.

She missed when she attempted to pound his fist with hers.

"Ha ha!"

"Shut up!" She said with a laugh.

"Dudes!"  Ad said then fell onto the couch, his head resting on Mel's lap.

Yauch snatched his hat.

"Yauch! Come on dude!"

He then ruffled his hair and passed the hat to Mel.

He sat up and playfully smacked Yauch on the head.

He did the same thing back to him.

Mel hid the hat behind her back.

"Give it!" He cried then grabbed her arm to move it. "Mel, come on?!"

"Ow!" She cried out when his elbow hit the corner of her mouth due to their rough housing.

Ad placed his hat back on his head and stood up. Yauch saw Mel walk away holding her face. She found a box of tissues and dabbed the side of her lip, which was bleeding.

"Are you okay?" Yauch asked.

"I'm fine. I should get some ice."

"I can get it myself!"

"Oooooo this is a good one." A voice nearby her said as he dragged her away.

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, she was standing by an open closet. Before she could even think, she was being shoved in there. Yauch was then shoved in.

"Have fun you two!" The voice said the. Closed the door.
