Our Script

Chapter 25

Illiana's P.O.V

I felt bad that Ryder thought I was trying to slut shame her, I was stating a fact a fact that everyone already knew. All I wanted to do was stop Stephen from asking me why we're not together. It's weird how guys sleep with whoever they like then somehow the girl is to blame or shamed.

I decided to call Ryder.

Call

Ryder: Hi

Illiana: Hi... I just wanted to check on you.... I really wasn't trying to slut shame you yesterday, I'm so sorry that you felt that way. I'll be dead honest it did bother me that you slept together but I wasn't aiming to hurt you or insult you.

Ryder: I think I was just being overly dramatic I know it bothered you and I'm sorry.

Illiana: Him and I aren't dating so he can sleep with whoever he likes honestly.

Ryder: okay you know what I'll call you back later, maybe we can chill?

Illiana: You, Shay and I could go out for a few drinks.

Ryder: Ayt bye.

End Call.

(What Illiana didn't know is Ryder was in bed laying next to Stephen)

I felt better after speaking to Ryder. I was happy, I hate all this unnecessary drama and honestly the root of this drama is Stephen.

I made lunch for my family and my brother dropped me and Shay off at one of the local bars. We waited in the car, since Ryder said she was at the corner. When I saw Stephen drop her off I was shocked I guess they like catching people off guard. She waved bye to Stephen. When Stephen saw me, he looked like he had seen a ghost. We greeted Ryder and walked in.

"So Stephen dropped you off?" Shay asked.

"Yup." She said popping her 'p'

"Dude let's just get lit!" I said enthusiastically.

Shay gave her a dirty look.

Even though I felt like someone was cutting my heart with a blunt knife.

We drank, danced and I found eye candy. Then the DJ played my favorite song.... Tempo by Lizzo feat Missy Elliot, I instantly moved back to the dance floor and so did my eye candy.

He walked towards him, I grabbed his hand and started dancing with him. I was enjoying myself a bit too much.

(Stephem and Illan walked in without her realizing. They didn't see her on the dance floor but managed to find the spot Shay and Ryder. They pointed at Illiana on the dance floor. Illan was kinda annoyed at the sight of his sister dancing with a stranger. Stephen was obviously jealous.)

When the song ended I left my eye candy and went to our booth I was surprised to see Steph and Illan. They seemed very tense.

"I hope you didn't come here to ruin our fun!" I said tipsy as hell.

Before they could respond the waiter came and passed me a drink.

"I didn't order anything" I said.

"That guy over there did ma'am (he said pointing at my eye candy). He also wrote a note on the napkin" he said.

The note wrote:

Hey I enjoyed our dance here's my number, I hope I'll see you again.

I smiled at the sweet gesture. When I looked up and everyone was looking at me. I shrugged and put the note in my pocket I drank the drink he gave me and decided that it would be my last for the night. I sat with the group, laughing and smiling with Shay

"Anyway what did the note say?" Shay asked.

"Nothing really just his number and a saying he hopes to see me again." I yelled back in her year.

"Oh, will he?" He said.

"I don't know. You should be focused on Illan not my eye candy." I responded.

"Oh, your eye candy?" She joked.

"Fuck off!" I laughed.

I saw eye candy walking to the bar alone. So I jumped up slid through the crowd.

"Hi" I said.

"Hi." He said.

"You know your note sweet but it's missing one thing." I said.

"What?" He said

"Your name. . .surely I could call you eye candy for the rest of the night but I would like to put a name to my eye candy." I flirted.

"Well as far as your concerned my name is eye candy, I'll go change it at the embassy tomorrow if needed" he smiled.

Damn boy has dimples. Inside I was melting, outside I was cool, calm and collected.

"Okay, fine I gave you a nickname you give me one" I said.

"Hmmm, well damn. You really know how to put a guy on the spot. I guess I'll call you . . . Sweet Rosé." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause your presence is completely intoxicating." He said.

DAMN.

"If my presence is intoxicating I wonder what my kiss will do." I said.

GO ME!

Eye candy leaned in and kissed me, he grabbed me tightly by my waist. DAMN! His lips were so soft he then sucked my bottom lip. DAMN. He slowly pulled away.

"Would you like another drink?" He asked.

"I'd like a glass of water. I think I've had enough for the night." I said.

He passed me a glass of water. I smiled and went back to my seat. I saw Stephen give me a dirty look, I walked toward them proudly. If he's aloud to fuck who ever he likes I can kiss whoever I like.

"We should head out soon." I said

They drank a bit more and we left.

I went to bed super happy cause of eye candy but then of corse the memory of Stephen looking at me the way he did made my soul uncomfortable. I shouldn't feel guilty but damn I really felt guilty. Then I remembered he dropped Ryder of and the definitely fucked so why should I care, I have every right to hook up with eye candy. I gave myself every reason to not care but I still cared
