Chapter 6: |06| Jealous

Since the day I met youWords: 13249

I start the car as Indiah applies some lipgloss to her lips, "I desperately need a drink"

"So do I", I agree

"Although I think I might've ate too much", She says with a look of nausea

I sigh, "And this is exactly why we're not doing pre drinks. I told you Indi-

"I know but the food was too good", My best friend defends

"Ok yeah not gonna lie it was", I agree as I start to drive

Usually we only get a couple of bites in before a party so that we're not drinking on an empty stomach but Indiah ate a lot of food.

"Sooo"

I look at my best friend expectantly

"Before we were eating you were having freaky time with Xavier weren't you"

I got caught so off guard, "Uh-

She gestures, "You forgot to cover the hickey"

"Oh my God, what?" I widen my eyes a little as I pull my hair forward more

"I knew you guys weren't playing with King"

Malik believed it and that's all that matters

I sigh, "Indi I-

"Look I get that it's probably complicated so we can just not talk about it until you decide on what you're gonna do"

"Yeah....thanks"

"Alright. Speed up now grandma"

"Shut up" I say amused

She grins

We had made it to Blair's house about fifteen minutes later, there was quite a bit of traffic. To be honest though we didn't really mind since the whole time we were pretty much blasting music, another reason why I like having my own car.

"Happy birthday", Indiah kisses Blair's cheek and she smiles cutely

"Thanks"

It was my turn next and I gave her such a big hug, "Happy birthday Blairlicious"

She giggles, "Thanks MK"

"You're welcome"

"Where do you want us to put your gifts?", Indiah asks

"Next to my beds fine"

"This one's from me and this one's from my mom", I tell her as I put them down

"Aww, I love aunt Dakota"

"She loves you too"

"Pre drinkssss", Destiny announces as she walks over to us with a tray of shot glasses

I eye it suspiciously because she has this look

"What's it filled with"

"Guess"

We all take one

"Bottoms up"

After downing it I shiver, "You bastard"

"Wrey's? You are playing a dangerous game", Indiah says with disgust

"I know", She replies innocently

"Are we doing seven minutes in heaven tonight?", Indiah asks

"For sure"

"Man I need to hurry up and turn sixteen"

"You really do", We all reply

She's the baby out of the four of us, I'm born in December, Destiny in January, Blair's today (March) and then Indiah's born in May.

"It's ok you got two months", D says amused

"Yeah yeah, who's rolling though"

"I'll do it"

"Good cause I wasn't bothered"

Blair gets up "One sec I'm gonna call my man. Eat, smoke, whatever"

"Alright"

•WESTON•

Honestly I don't even know why I'm here but it was an open invite and I'm never one to turn down a good time. And anyone would be lying if they said that Blair didn't throw good parties.

"It is way too packed in here", Archie frowns as we walk through the house

There's people on the stairs, by the kitchen, in the front room, even on the porch and backyard. "Hi Archie", Cierra smiles

"You alright"

"Mhm, wanna go to the backyard?"

She's doing those flirty eyes, it's a bit much

"Nah not now"

"Oh come on Raven's outside too, in fact both of you should-

"Alright easy Cierra, let them settle in for a sec" Blair says amused

"My bad", She raises her hands with surrender before walking away

She has a nice ass, I'll give her that

"Happy birthday Blair"

"Thanks guys. Come this way"

"Ooooh I like where this is going", Archie rubs his hands excitedly

"You are way too excited", I reply

"Pfft, who wouldn't be"

"Where's CJ?", I ask

"Um, he's upstairs just sorting something out" She replies after drinking from her solo cup

I notice the hickeys on her neck which cause me to shake my head and chuckle, these two just can't help themselves.

We followed Blair downstairs to the basement which was turned into a game room quite awhile ago I'm pretty sure, the floor was grey carpet and there was a table of pool which was pushed back. I saw a couch, a tv, a fireplace, a table that carried drinks but what made me realise what was about to happen was the two hats at the centre of the room and the people sitting around it.

"Seven minutes in heaven?", I ask knowingly

She grins, "Yup"

"Fuck yeah"

"Obviously I can't participate but it'll be fun to watch all of you guys"

I'm already a little drunk, I say fuck it let's do it

"Man I love girls", Archie says as he looks around the room

I pat his back, "Don't we all"

The weathers quite warm today and it's reflecting on all of their outfits, tank tops, leggings, jean shorts, skirts.....I saw a lot of skirts. Amongst the group of people from my grade I saw many familiar faces, but the one that surprised me a little was the redhead sat next to Indiah. She was downing a bit of vodka and some had spilt onto her chin, "Easy" Destiny takes it back from her

"Is that Amariah", I say surprised

"Where? Oh, yeah"

"Her hair looks really nice"

Not that she doesn't look nice on a daily, but I like this look on her-... fuck sake. Shut up Weston.

"I think you're drooling"

I slap his hand away, "Shut up"

"Alright losers, let's play", Blair calls out

Archie and I sit down with the rest of the basketball team

"Who wants to go first"

"Me", Luna volunteers before reaching into the first hat

No offence but she's kind of an NPC and so were the first couple of people that went into the closet, the most evidence they had was ruffled hair and other boring shit. The game only started to get interesting when the popular people started playing.

Speaking of interesting things, the thing I found quite funny is what happened when it was Archie's turn, "Cierra" He reads

She grins as she gets up and follows him to the closet.

"Let's see how much of a freak you are Ci Ci"

If looks could kill? Cierra would be dead.

Indiah's reaction shocked me, she screwed her as she made her way to the closet and scoffed after Archie made his comment.

"I wanna see good evidence!", Blair called out before starting the seven minute timer

"What's up with you", Amariah murmurs

I can hear their conversation since I'm sat close by

"Nothing", Indiah responded

"I thought you didn't want him?"

"I don't, he just seemed a little too excited"

she's tipsy

"Look", I say amused

CJ chuckles, "She is vexed"

Archie did well though, he walked out swinging Cierra's thong on his fingers and grinning which started to make me question what those two were getting up to.

"Damn", Everyone applauded him

Cierra looked flustered and Indiah, well she just looked pissed. And I found that shit so hilarious because for someone who puts him through enough shit everyday she sure seems interested now.

Archie looks at me suspiciously as he sits next to me, "What are you laughing about"

"I just hope you know that Indiah is pissed"

"She is?", He says with a little panic

"Bro this is good-

"No it's not, I don't want her to be pissed at me"

"Don't start feeling bad, you did nothing wrong-

"West, you're up" Blair lets me know

"Fuck", Archie frowns to himself and I roll my eyes before taking the hat from Blair and picking out a name

Kareesha

Everyone waits expectantly and I don't say anything for a second.

"Amariah"

"Oooh", Spreads around the room

She raises her eyebrows, "What"

I get up and she looks at Indiah who just shrugs at her, "Evidence please", CJ reminds us

"Yeah yeah", I reply as I follow her to the closet

Her ass is annoyingly perfect, I don't really know how else to explain it. But if my hands were holding it then it'd definitely be full. Shes also got these two piercings on her back which I can't believe I never noticed till now.

"Good luck", Blair says to her before shutting the door after us

It was a pretty small closet space, there wasn't much in here except a washing machine and a few shelves. Other than the noise coming from outside the door it was silent between us.

"I don't really wanna do much" , Amariah eventually says

"Scared?", I say amused

"Nope. Don't want to, and you're just not very nice"

"I am nice"

"No, you're mean. And I don't get it, you're mean to nobody but me"

Why did I find her adorable

This is not me

"That's not true"

"Yes it is"

"They're gonna want evidence"

"I know"

Her brows then furrow, "I have a question"

"What?"

"What's this?", She tries to tug the collar of my shirt down a little but I don't let her

"Watch it"

"Sorry"

She's weirdly nice....

"So....what is it"

"Mind your business"

Amariah frowns with annoyance but doesn't say anything, she's in such a high state but I can see that my tone might've offended her. I wish I kept my mouth shut but stupidly I opened it, "I don't mean to say things in the way that I say it"

"Is that your version of an apology?"

"Yes"

"Why are you so rude by the way-

"I'm not even-....you know what never mind"

Five minutes went by and we still hadn't even touched at all, now that's boring. "Are you holy or something?" I ask her

"What?"

"Religious?"

"Mmm no"

"Have you even touched a boy?"

"Of course I have"

"Doesn't seem like it"

"Not everyone wants to make out with you Weston"

Weston

"Ok well you're the one who walked in here with me-

"Oh for fuck sake stop complaining", She grabs my face and gives me a soft kiss which caught me by surprise

Her lips were so warm and soft, but the kiss didn't last any longer than five seconds and if it did then I would've slipped my tongue into her mouth. "Done"

I raise my eyebrows as she pulls away, "Happy?" Amariah asks

"Uhhh"

For once in my life I was speechless

What the fuck

"Time!", Blair calls out before opening the door

"Well?", CJ says expectantly

She moves her her aside and a hickey is revealed, even Blair raises her brows. "Damn"

I frown

I didn't give her that....

"I-

"Well done man", Archie pats my back as I walk out and Amariah goes back to her friends without even sparing me another glance

I have a lot of questions, and they're gonna get answered.

INDIAH

"I'm going to bed"

"You ok?"

Amariah groans as she gets up "Yeah my heads just ringing"

"You want me to come up with you?"

My best friend waves me off, "It's alright I'm good, night"

I blow her a kiss and she pauses before turning back to me, "I'm in love with Xavier"

"I know babe. I know"

"Do you hate me?"

I shake my head with amusement and she breathes a sigh of relief, "Ok good cause I was about to cry"

"Aw no, I'd never hate you for something like that, you can't help who you love. We'll talk in the morning cause you're gonna be real shocked you admitted that to me"

"Probably, alright good night"

Amariah goes upstairs and I smile a little, I didn't understand it before but I do now. She's clearly in love with my brother and it makes sense, I'd never hate her for that. I noticed how she made it seem like her hickey was from Weston, she must love my brother very much to not do anything with anyone else in a game. I think she said that they just kissed which also doesn't seem too bad, but I know Xavier. He gets jealous.

On a side note, I hate how I'm sobering up now

"Mind if I sit?"

I don't reply and Archie sits down anyway

"You didn't play seven minutes in heaven"

"Didn't want to"

"I'm glad actually"

"Ok"

Why the hell is he here

"There's no way you can be mad at me right now"

"I'm not"

"It doesn't seem like it"

"Ah well maybe we should ask Cierra to confirm it for you"

I'm mentally shaking my head at myself

"No don't do that. Don't start getting all jealous"

"I'm not", I say annoyed

"Then look at me and say it-

"I don't want to and nor do I have to-

"Say it-

I scoff, "I just-.... how could you?"

"How could I what"

"I thought you wanted me"

"You can't be serious"

I frown and he scoffs, "You know I want you. I let you know every single day and I've let you know since the moment I knew you. So let's not act like I'm the problem here"

I've never seen him mad before....I like it

"I didn't say that", I mutter

"Speak up babe"

"No don't babe me, go jerk off to Cierra's thong"

"If that's what you want then I will"

"Guess you never really wanted me then did you"

"You know what I kinda like this jealously look on you, feels relieving"

"Fuck off"

"Why can't you just admit that you want me?"

It's fucking scary that's why

"Maybe I like having someone chase after me"

"I'll stop"

I shrug, "Fine"

"Fine"

"Whatever"

"Cool"

"Alright"

"Done"

"Cool"

I get up but he tugs on my arm

Archie pulls me down, causing me to fall onto his lap. I kid you not we immediately start making out after that, my arms wrap around him and his hand slides up my skirt as he deepens the kiss.

Oh gosh

My tongue snakes its way into his mouth and I straddle him as the kiss intensifies. Everyone's minding their business because that's what you do at parties, but we were quite careless. His hand gripped my waist and he started to suck on my neck, causing me to silently moan. Somehow I knew that this was how the night would end.

I hold onto Archie's as he sucks my neck harshly and tugs on my skin with his teeth, he felt so damn good.

But eventually we pulled away from each other, he licks the corner of his lip whilst tucking a hair behind my ear. "That reassuring enough for you?"

I nod before rejoining our lips and he feels me up as he leans us back against the couch. "You better throw that thong away" I breathlessly say in between kisses

"I did the second I found out you were mad"

Oh how interesting this night has turned out to be...
