You Were Never Mine

Wicked Games - Chapter 03

I took a long drag off the blunt that Ben passed over to me, closing my eyes and tilting my head back. Blowing out the smoke, I pass the blunt over to Ivy, Demetri's girl. The four of us sat in a circle in Ben's living room. This was what we normally did, all got together at Ben's house and smoked. I always enjoyed smoking, but it's more fun when you do it with a group of people.

"So, Elle Harris, huh?" Demetri shot me a glance, a smirk toying at his lips.

I bring my knees up to my chest and rest my elbows lazily upon them, my hands dangling in front of me. "Yeah, Elle Harris." Running a hand through my hair, I raise my eyebrows. "What's up?"

Demetri shrugs, taking a hit off the blunt and passing it over to Ben. "Nothing, man, but isn't she like super off limits to someone like you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I scrunch my face up, curious as to what he means by that statement. "Plus, it's not like we're dating or anything, I barely know the chick."

"She's way out of our leagues, dude. She's a good girl, always has been. We went to high school together." This was the first I have heard of this, I never knew Demetri knew who Elle was, nor did I know they went to school together. "She's always been a straight A student, never went out with any guys that asked her out unless they were top-notch. I was honestly kind of shocked she never ended up with that Jason guy. The one she was talking to at Brice's party the other night."

I licked my lips, taking the blunt from Ben since he was offering it to me. Taking a quick hit off of it, I pass it back over to Ivy. "Jason Ferris? Yeah, I've heard of him a few times. What's his story?"

"He was an all-star in high school until he suffered an injury. These days he just works for his dad in their tackle shop." Demitri shrugs and reaches for his cup, taking a swig of the liquid swishing in it. "He and Elle were inseparable in high school. Kind of like her and Julia, but in a less platonic way. I'm not even sure Elle has ever had sex."

My breath catches in my throat and I look at him through bloodshot eyes. "You think she's a virgin?"

"Oh, I bet she's a virgin, dude. She was totally off limits all through school. I don't think I've ever seen her kiss a guy," Ben pipes into the conversation at this point.

Demetri laughs and shakes his head, "no bro, she's definitely kissed a guy, but I don't think she's ever fucked a guy. I saw a video of her our senior year sharing a hot lip lock with Hardin Andrews at a party Brice threw. I think it was during truth or dare, but that kiss was so steamy. Almost made me wonder if she has ever had a good fuck."

Ivy shoots Demetri a glare and takes the blunt from him, finishing it off. I let the last few parts of our conversation process in my mind.

"I guess we'll find out, huh?"

Ben and Demetri looked at each other and back at me.

"You trying to get in her pants?" Ben asked, raising his eyebrows.

I shrug, a smile spreading across my face, "why not? She wants to know about me and who I am. Might as well show her that side of me too, right?"

The guys shake their heads and let out a chuckle.

"Just be careful, bro. You know what it's like to fuck around with a good girl," Ben says, standing up from the couch. "Now, who's ready to go have some fun?"

I looked down at the outfit I had on, a pair of black ripped jeans, a white t-shirt, and black high-tops. My hair was styled with some gel so that it would stick in place throughout the night, but not enough product for it to feel heavy and gross. I sprayed myself with a small amount of cologne and then exited my bedroom, heading to the front door of the house.
