Not So Logical Love

She Way Out

We get back inside the house and I see Josh and Jen talking to a couple of Josh's friends in the corner. For the first time in 4 years, Jen doesn't look drunk at a party. Just as I'm about to go say hi, Elijah nudges me a drink.

"I didn't know if you wanted one... So I grabbed you on anyways." He tells me shyly.

"Thank you." I give him a shy smile in return. Wow... It's like the party sort of changed the mood. 

"Hey!" A girl I don't know shouts at us. "We need two more people for spin the bottle! Please just say yes and come." 

Elijah looks over at me in a why not type of way. 

"No. No, no, no and no. Nope." I hand the drink to the girl, grab Elijah's arm and pull him toward the staircase. 

I hear him laugh from behind me. "And why is that?" He asks me.

I stop walking and turn toward him. "Well, for starters..." I stopped, aware of what I'm about to say.

"For starters..." He motions me to continue.

"I don't really want to see you kissing other girls... or even boys."

He smirks.

"Oh shut up. I'm sure you wouldn't want to watch me sucking face with another guy." 

That shut him right up. 

"Come on, lets go dance."

We get down the staircase and the music pounds through me. A flow of exhilaration pumps through me. I'm about to dance with about the hottest guy I think I am ever going to dance with. This'll be fun. 

He takes hold of my hand and pulls me toward the dancing, sweating, flowing crowd of people. I feel his hand shaking in mine. Once we get into the crowd, Elijah sort of awkwardly starts dancing, I don't know if it's because he's afraid to take it to far or he really doesn't know how to dance, so I take his hands and put them on my hips. His face relaxes. I shake my hips back and forth and throw my hands around his neck. His eyes widen. I laugh. 

The beat of the music fastens a little so I follow. I turn around, take his hands and place them around my hips again, like I did with Adam, only this time it means more. I dance up and down on him and after a bit he follows my movements. A jolt of courage runs through me so I decided to heat it up a bit. I turn my head and hold my hair up with one hand to look a little sexier. His hands tighten on my hips. I nudge him a little.

I feel a certain pair of wet, hot lips on my neck and smile. I run my hands through his hair. I guess he takes it as encouragement because he begins sucking a little on the sensitive skin on my neck. I get carried away in the moment and let him do so. I sigh. He takes his lips away and I feel hot air on my neck. 

My brain finally registers what happened. I stop moving and through my hand on my neck. "Oh jeez." I say not loud enough for him to hear. He looks at me, concern wrinkling his forehead. I quickly try and make my way up the stair and to the bathroom. 

How could I let myself be so stupid. I run up the stairs once I get out of the crowd and in the direction of the nearest bathroom. The door is a crack open so I assume it's not being used but when I barge in a see a girl next to the toilet, vomit on her face and the toilet seat. Yuck... I smile sympathetically at the girl. She laughs, stands up, flushes the toilet and walks to the mirror. The smell finally hits me and I pinch my nostrils. She looks over at me. "Oh... sorry about that." Another drunken giggle escapes her. She wipes the vomit from her face onto her skirt, checks herself out in the mirror a little more and out she goes. Thank God.

I find air freshener sitting on the top of toilet and spray it around a bit. Once the smell sort of drifts, I check my neck out in the mirror. There it is. The bright redish-purpleish love bite. Nice going, Rhyan. If Josh sees, you're screwed, if Jen sees, you're screwed, If Mom or Dad see, you're screwed. Either way you're totally screwed. 

Shit! Why'd I let him do that. Why did I let myself let him do that! I look through the bathroom to try and find something to cover it up but then I remember I'm at Adam's house and all he has is 4 brothers. No sisters. Damn it. 

I look at myself in the mirror and see how flushed I look so I turn on the sink and splash cold water onto my face. When I'm ready to get out of the bathroom, I make sure my hair is covering my love bite. I don't even know if I should be calling it that. It obviously wasn't out of love. Thank God for long, thick hair though. 

When I walk out of the bathroom, I see Elijah leaning against the opposite wall. "I'm so sorry. I didn't realize what I was doing. My boyishness got the better of me. I'm sorry." He pushes of the wall and comes over to me, pulling my hair away from the neck to see what he left. I swat his hands away and re-arange my hair. 

"Stop it. It's fine." I tell him. 

"I'm sorry about all that. It was just... I don't know what was going on inside my head and..."

I grab his face and kiss him before he can keep rambling on. When I pull away his eyes are wide open with shock.

"Elijah. Just shut up. I mean, we didn't have sex. We gave me a love bite. That's it." It kind of was a big deal to me but it probably wasn't to him.

He smiles. "A love bite? Is that what you called it?" He asks.

I look away, embarrased, but he pulls my face back to face him. "No, no. I love it. It sounds way better then a 'hickey'. That word disgusts me."

A let him have a little smile. 

He pulls out his phone and I frown at it. "It's 11:24... There's not much to do here anymore... We can go somewhere and grab a bite? Or..."

"I'd like that." I tell him. 

He lets me grab my stuff and tells me he'll meet me by his car. I see Luke on the way. He tries to stop me. "Luke, I'm sorry. I just don't think I'm ready to talk right now." 

He nods and stuffs his hands in his pocket. His hair is off to one side from Arianna's grubby hands and, old habits die hard, I fix it. I see his whole body relax. I start to walk away when he grabs my hand. "Soon thought, you promise?" I feel bad for the poor guy. I can't just leave him like that. I don't even know what went on. "Yeah. alright." I tell him.

When I get out to his car I see a certain blonde haired girl talking to Elijah and standing suspiciously close. What the actual frick. She already went for a guy close to me, is she trying to double whammy all in one night. 

I walk over to Elijah, slip my hand around his waist and place myself on his side. "Hey Arianna." I say with a smile that I know will piss her off. She slips me back a venomous one of her own. Then the unexpected happens. Elijah kisses the top of my head. "You ready to go?" He asks me. I nod my head.

Arianna gives me a 0.1 second glare and smiles sweetly at Elijah. "See you later!" She walks off in the direction of the party, swaying her hips to get Elijah's attention probably. 

Elijah shudders beside me and I smile. "Lets get out of here." I tell him. 

It's a shorter chapter. Im sorry. Hopefully you enjoyed it and will wait for the next one. It will be coming soon. I wont do what I did last time and take forever. :) Okay thanks.
