By The Pool Side

Caress Me

After a long night at the amusement park, David, Justin, Mitchie and I as well as David's band and a few fans headed back to his house for a party. I was a bit tired and worn out from all the screaming and jumping I was doing, I mean being a groupie was fun for a night but I wouldn't make a hobby of it. David's house exploded with lights, drinks and loud music within twenty minutes. I sat on a stool near the kitchen counter watching as most of his guests took shots off of each other. I'm sorry but even though I can be a hard-ass sometimes I don't drink. Justin was even in on the little game, slurping off small trails of vodka from a girl's stomach. I had no idea where Mitchie was, usually she'd be at my side staring me down with lustful gazes but she wasn't.

"Alex are you going to let those girls still your girl away from you," David asked pointing towards his now crowded hall of dancing teens. I stared into the group finding Mitchie laughing hard at something someone must have said. I didn't move her way, I just raised my coke up to my lips and sipped it before turning back to David.

"I don't think they could handle it."

"Handle what?"

"Mitchie," I whispered my mouth parting from the can.

"So you can handle her? Are we speaking in sexual terms?" David's eyebrow rose before I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Why are you in the kitchen? The party is.."

"Everywhere?" he laughed before sliding things into his arms.

"Look, Mitchie and I have been dating for at least nine hours now, so nothing sexual will be going on."

"Right? But when you were just friends you guys had sex in my pool."

"We did not."

"Oh yes you did Alex, me and Justin saw you."

"We didn't.."

"Yeah keep denying it," David said strolling away from me.

"But we…," I couldn't get it out, even I knew that my words couldn't burst through the music. I sighed before sipping my drink. Mitchie appeared on the other side of the counter her eyes meeting mine before a smile crept over her face.

"What?" I asked as she leaned forward, her elbows and the bottom of her arms pressing against the cool granite.

"Nothing I just thought that maybe you'd like to dance"

"…Umm humm," I said sipping my coke again. Mitchie slid her right hand over towards me letting her fingers fall onto my left hand that sat on the counter.

"It'll be fun," her laugh was sweet but I knew better to fall for it.

"Nope, I'll just sit here until this thing dies down"

"Tell you what," Mitchie began pulling away from me before making it to my side. "If you dance with me now," her voice lowered almost to a whisper. It was weird how I could still hear her even though the music was blaring. She leaned over to my ear pressing her lips gently across one lobe. "I'll give you a dance later," I could feel the heat from her breath and the smile from her lips press against my skin. My legs shook before a tingly feeling shot up my spine and I turned my eyes to see only part of her. "So…what do ya' say?" she asked pulling back, I swallowed hard before nodding.

"Come on," her voice was loud and chipper now as she placed her hand in front of me. I grabbed it and drug myself from my stool as Mitchie walked in front of me and somehow making it so my arm could fall across her waist. Her fingers came into mine as my body pressed against hers for us to make it through the crowd in the hall. I saw David's eyebrows rise as we passed him, I gave him a scowl before he raised his hands as if he was defeated. We ended up in the dining room, all the tables were removed from the room with the chairs, it was almost like one large ballroom. The lights were bright blue, flashing almost giving me a headache as Mitchie let her hand slide from mine.
