Our Girl

Shut Up & Dance

*Levi's POV*

"Dude are you listening?" I brought my attention to the guys at the table. "You should throw a joint party next week." Lewis was speaking as if he already sent the invites.

"You don't even have to worry about a date. I'm sure some fine ass girl would be more than interested into providing a little birthday sex." Tyler wiggled his eyebrows up and down in a suggestive way.

Why can't this dude just go away?

"Naw man I'm good." Not everything's about getting laid. Sometimes it's just about being in the moment.

"Which part?"

"All of it. Especially the birthday sex. I've got plans." I bit into my sandwich hoping that he'd let the topic go.

"Okay unless your plan involve strippers you don't have a plan. This is you guys 18th birthday party. Go big or go home."

It's clear now that he will not drop the topic. Stupid horn dog.

I shoved off his requests again. "I think I'll stay home."

"That wasn't an option dude." Great! Now John's on his side.

"Parties, beer and pussy, the perfect combination." I shook my head at Tyler's vulgar idea of the perfect combination.

There were much more perfect combos out there.

I pouted the entire day. I didn't want to throw a party. All I wanted was to spend the day with those closets to me. And that sure as hell didn't include Tyler, Nicole, Brittany, and all the other idiots at our school.

However, it's kind of hard to say no when the guys printed out invitation flyers and social e-vites.

And don't even get me started on the stupid strippers. Tyler and John told Lewis about the surprise that was going to pop out of this huge birthday cake and let me know. I thought that they were joking. But no. These morons have lost more braincells than I originally assumed.

My Mom's going to kill me. Actually, both of our Moms were going to kill us.

Together, Colson and I decided that we shouldn't tell Olivia. She's already anxious in social situations and if she knew that there would be a little adult entertainment she wouldn't come and I desperately wanted her to be there.

Was it selfish of me? Yes. I'm not denying it.

"Do you guys know where Liv ran off to?" Sawyer asked.

"What happened?" Colson and I both asked.

"Lewis let it slip that there will apparently be strippers." Sawyer's face was filled with disgust.

And if Sawyer felt that way, no telling what Olivia was thinking.

"I'll go find her." I didn't give the others a chance to offer. Truth was, I knew where she'd be.

"There you are." I closed Colson's bedroom door behind me.

"Here I am." She replied rather somberly.

I crossed his bedroom and stood in front of her. "Why are you in here?"
