(42): Work

Where are you guys reading from?

**

Kyle and I are dancing happily with each other, huge smiles on our faces. He twirls me around and wraps his arms around my waist occasionally causing me to blush like a middle schooler.

Work work work work work

He see me do me dirt dirt dirt dirt

Oh no! This song brings out my inner-stripper, especially when I'm drunk!!

Acting on pure instinct, I turn around so that my back is to Kyle's front as I start to dance against him.

I hear him suck in a deep breath and smirk.

He places his hands on either side of my hips as he guides my movement against him. I close my eyes and sway my hips to the rhythm, very much enjoying myself, his warmth and his body on mine.

"Shit" I hear him grunt.

I start to grind against him even going down as I wrap my arm around his neck so that his head is against the crook of mine and I feel his warm breath there sending tingles down my spine.

All that I wanted for you was to give me something that I never had

Something that I never seen

Something that I never been

Mhhhhhhhm

He grunts loudly before turning me around so that we're face to face. I smirk when I see that his eyes have definitely darkened. The good darkening; like they did when he saw me in my underwear the other day.

"You're killing me" He murmurs.

I smile coyly "I'm just dancing"

"Maybe Nathan was right... you're not as innocent as you seem" He tseks amused and tortured.

It seems like Nathan was right about a lot of things. Such as the fact that we would end up liking each other... or at least I would.

I smirk, enjoying the effect I have on him.

He shakes his head also smirking as he grips my hips more tightly encouraging me to keep dancing. We look at nothing but each other as desire clouds both our eyes.

I wrap my arms around his neck again as I stand on my tippy toes. He lowers his head so that it's against my ear.

"I like this song because of you now" He whispers before biting down on my earlobe seductively and continues to lick right above my neck.

Oh god.

I let out a small moan as I feel butterflies invade my stomach and my legs start to feel like jello but he holds me up.

"Kyle..." I breathe, absentmindedly craning my neck so he continues his assault.

It feels so good.

"Mmh" He hums moving his lips so that they're right on the side of my neck as he opens his lips wider and sucks there gently.

Oh my god.

I'm pretty sure I moan louder, causing him to grunt and hold me tighter against him but continues to the point that I think he might give me a hickey. He's so good at this. If this is how his lips feel against my neck... I can only imagine how much better they'd feel against my own.

I close my eyes as I enjoy the sensation.

He then moves his face so that it's in front of mine again and I finally open my eyes to be greeted by his satisfied and dark ones. I blush after realizing what just happened. I may be drunk but I know what we're doing.

It's suddenly so hot in here. Goddamn.

"You're cute" He grins boyishly.

I roll my eyes grinning too "Hush"

An upbeat song starts playing causing us to unwrap our arms and just jump around. Or at least I do. He just watches me amused and occasionally intertwines our hands causing me to blush. I don't think I've ever had this much fun.

"Hey dude, look who I found" Comes Nick's enthusiastic voice causing Kyle and I to look behind us.

Eww.

He's with that girl from skiing... it's the black haired one whose name is Gina. The one I didn't like.

"Hey Kyle" She waves smiling.

I don't fucking like her.

I scowl watching the scene with my arms crossed annoyed.

Kyle runs a hand through his blonde locks "Hi Gina" He then looks to Nick "Why exactly did you bring her?"

Nick shrugs "She asked about you"

"Do you guys want a minute?" It comes out much harsher than I intended. I blame the alcohol for all my anger and jealously.

Nick gestures between Gina and Kyle "Ask them. I was just leaving, I found my own girl"

Off course he did.

He then walks away leaving the three of us in an awkward silence.

"Okay bye I'm leaving" I announce stiffly as I start to walk away before either of them can say anything.

Ugh!

I angrily take a seat on our now empty table as I look away from the sight. I think Kyle was just speaking to her. Why is he freaking speaking to her though? Why didn't he follow me?

And why would Nicholas do this? Just yesterday I told him that I actually liked Kyle and now he's trying to set him up with another girl... that I already don't fucking like. This just ruined my night. I want to go.

"Hey lady, why all alone?"

I didn't even notice Winnie make her way to me. She's with Liam and they both take a seat on the opposite side.

"I'm tired" I lie.

She gives me a skeptical look "Yeah right. I saw Kyle with that girl. That's why you're upset isn't it?"

Since when is she an observant drunk?

I shrug "Maybe"

"Don't worry, he looked pretty annoyed. I'm pretty sure he'd rather be with you" She tells me and I just sigh, not believing her.

"Hey Chels" Liam smiles.

"Hey" I wave.

His face looks better than it did yesterday but he still has that black eye. Nicholas is such an animal jeez.

I kind of feel bad for being rude to him.

"Come on, don't you want to dance with us?" Winnie asks enthusiastically.

"No" I say before looking to Liam "Did Winnie tell you it was her birthday tomorrow?"

He grins nodding "Yep. I already gave her her birthday kiss"

I look to Winnie interested "You did?"

"Yep" Liam says causing Winnie to blush "Like a few minutes ago"

"Interesting" I murmur.

Liam then gets up, as if sensing I need to speak to Winnie alone "I need the restroom. I'll be right back"

We watch him leave as I look at Winnie.

"What?" She defends.

"You two kissed?" I ask unimpressed "You do know that Nicholas is here right? And he's drunk"

She shrugs "He's with a girl so why can't I be with Liam? Plus he looked too interested in her boobs to care"

Fair enough.

"Okay I'm just making sure" I say.

"Don't worry, we really won't cause any more drama. Promise" She assures.

I smile "Good. I'm happy"

Liam then comes back before taking her hand as they go back to the dance floor happily.

There's still some vodka so I take a shot.

"Dancing by yourself and then drinking by yourself" Comes Kyle's voice as he scoots me over so he's sitting next to me. "You sure are a loner drunk"

"Where's Gina?" I ask instead.

He gives me a look "Somewhere around here. Why? Were you jealous?"

Yes.

I snort "No"

"I swear I saw you giving her looks" He smirks.

"You're drunk and you may need glasses" I deadpan jokingly.

"Don't worry, Chelsea-Anne, I'd rather chill with you" He assures, winking at me with a teasing smirk.

Swoon.

"What'd she want?" I ask curiously.

"My dick"

I gape hitting his arm to which he laughs "Kyle! That's gross"

"She did" He defends laughing.

"How do you know?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"She wanted us to go somewhere private which means she wanted to have sex. That's how it happened last time" He shrugs.

"Why'd you say no?"

He raises a brow "Who says I said no?"

I feel my heart sink.

"You j-j-just had sex with her?" I ask stiffly and hoarsely, my throat dry with hurt.

"Well what do you think I was doing?"

Oh my god.

I swallow a lump; tears on the brink of my eyes "Guess it makes sense. Was it good?"

He nods but suddenly starts to laugh. Oh so this is funny to him? My hurt is funny to him? I frown, as I look away from him scared that tears will start falling down my face.

"Chelsea-Anne" He wheezes turning my straight-lipped face around in his direction. I wish I was better at controlling my emotions.

Am I really about to cry just because he had sex with another girl? He's not even my boyfriend. I'm being so ridiculous right now but I can't help it. I just like him so much and I wish he knew so he didn't do those type of things and tell me about them.

God, why does it hurt so much?

"What?" I snap harshly.

"I was kidding. I didn't fuck her" He laughs poking my cheek "You should've seen your face"

I've never felt so stupid.

I'm pretty sure I just gave away my feelings for him. He just smirks and I clear my throat acting like nothing happened.

"So why didn't you?" I ask.

"Because I'm not in the mood" He tells me with a small smile.

I smile too, very happy.

"Are you ready to admit that you were a tad bit jealous?" He raises a brow amused.

"I wasn't" I protest meekly looking away from him because I'm scared he can see right through me "I just don't like her"

He hums smirking "Okay Chelsea-Anne"

"Leave me alone" I grumble pouting.

"I can't believe how cute you are" He laughs shaking his head as he looks at my flustered face mesmerized.

"Well I can't believe how hot you are" I blurt.

I blame the alcohol.

He raises an amused brow "Hot, you say?"

"Don't act like you don't know" I roll my eyes at him, but a blush plays on my cheeks.

He winks "You are too"

Double swooooon.

"Okay lets go look for Nathan and Kat. I haven't seen them in a long time and they're very drunk"

He nods as he gets up.

We navigate our way past the many dancing bodies as we look for them, the fact that we're also drunk doesn't really help because things are kind of blurry.

"Chels!"

Oh thank goodness. I turn around and am greeted by the couple. They were towards the front of the place where it is super bright.

"There you two are" I say.

Nathan waves grinning "Hey"

"What were you guys doing here?" Kyle asks them curiously.

"Dancing" Kat says.

Nathan has been looking at my neck for a second too long and I touch it on instinct worried there's something there.

"What?" I finally snap at him.

He smirks "I may be shitfaced but I know a hickey when I see one"

Oh god.

"What!" Kat gapes excitedly moving closer to my neck as her eyes zero in there "I see it too! Who gave it to you? Tell me!"

I look to Kyle for help and in annoyance. He gave that to me! Stupid! Does he think I want our friends to make fun of me? He just shrugs smirking. He sure looks proud of himself.

"None of your business" I retort.

"It was Kyle, wasn't it?" Nathan smirks looking at his also smirking friend "Did you two finally kiss after two failed attempts?"

Him and Kat laugh loudly at that.

"No" I deadpan unhumored.

The first time was his fault so I don't get why he's finding this funny. I'm definitely not.

Nathan rolls his eyes "Dude! You still haven't kissed her?"

"Shut up" Kyle scowls.

Does he want to kiss me too?

"He must be a good kisser if he can give you one of those" Kat mutters looking at it.

"Babe" Nathan protests unimpressed.

"Oh come on. You know I don't want Kyle. I was just saying" She excuses, grinding herself against him "You're more than enough, my sexy beast"

Gross.

Soon they're making out causing Kyle and I to shudder as we walk away from them.

"Those two are gross" I say.

He laughs "Yeah and they're obsessed with each other"

Tell me about it.

A song I like starts playing and I take Kyle's hand and drag him to the good part of the dance floor as we start to dance again.

So fun!!

A few minutes before 12 am, the six of us gather around so we can welcome Winnie's official birthday together. We all wish her a happy birthday when the clock strikes with many kisses on the cheek from everyone, except Nick. I guess that would have been awkward. She grins, very happy and tells us that she loves and appreciates us. We all take one more shot before dancing again.

I'm not really sure what time we went back to cabin but I know we were all shitfaced.

I love these people.

***

"I don't want to ride with you two. The sexual tension is going to suffocate me" Nick says gesturing between Kyle and I.

"Are you serious?" I deadpan.

Today is the day we're unfortunately leaving. We all woke up so late with hangovers but Daisy prepared a little something to cure us before we had some of her delicious breakfast. We then all took showers to freshen up before packing all our stuff and putting them into the two abandoned cars. I even forgot they existed. They've been parked in the garage which we never really go inside so it was easy to forget.

I still remember everything that happened last night. Everything. Mostly about Kyle and I. The sexual tension was reaaaal! I can't stop grinning like an idiot every time I think about his warm lips on my neck and his hands around my waist. I seriously wouldn't mind doing that again and again and again.

Yeah... you guys get the point.

It wasn't really awkward when we woke up. We spoke like we normally would and he was totally flirting with me. For a second, I thought he was still drunk, before dismissing the thought. Maybe he wants to flirt with me. I should stop overthinking every little thing.

We checked out and now we're outside ready to get the show on the road but Nicholas decides to delay the journey with his bratty act.

"Just get in the fucking car" Kyle demands looking at Nick.

He shakes his head "No"

"Fine. I'll ride with them" Winnie sighs.

"I swear you're so annoying, Nicholas" I shake my head shooting daggers at him.

"Just leave him alone" Kathrine defends "He wants to ride with Nathan and I because we're more fun than you two"

"Fine whatever" I say getting into the passenger seat.

"No hard feelings, little Chels" He winks.

He's so annoying.

"Plus the three of you live at the same place so this is more convenient" Kat chirps.

She has a point.

The others bid goodbye to each other since they won't be riding together. The two drivers negotiate snack and bathroom breaks again before Winnie and Kyle both enter the car.

"Let's get this show on the road" Winnie says from the backseat.

Kyle starts the car as he follows behind Nathan.

"I'm so tired" I groan laying against my seatbelt "I'm so glad I'm not driving. I feel for you, Chambers"

"Yep" He sighs drumming on the wheel.

"So..." The birthday girl in the backseat starts off "Chels, who's the hickey from? I couldn't miss it even if I wanted to"

I blush sheepishly before pointing to Kyle "Him"

It's no use lying.

I can see her grin from the mirror "I mean I knew, I just wanted to confirm. Did you two finally kiss?"

"I'm right here. Do we have to speak about this?" Kyle deadpans dryly.

"I'm speaking to Chels" Winnie retorts.

"No we didn't. And Kyle's right... do we have to speak about this?" I trail off.

It's very awkward.

"Fine. I won't enquire" She grumbles.

I ask Kyle to connect to the bluetooth since that idiot Nick took the aux cable and I want to play music. He agrees and I start to play my 'chilled mood' playlist which consists mostly of Drake, PND, The Weeknd and Bryson Tiller as I hum quietly in my seat.

We carry on the ride in silence.

Our classes resume two days after we celebrate new years so it's no use going home again. We have today and tomorrow and then that day it's a new year. I'm kind of excited. I have a lot to be grateful for this year. Mostly my amazing friends that I may have only met towards the end but it was all worth it and I can't wait to spend a full year with them.

I wonder how life is going to be between Kyle and I when we get back. So much has happened on this trip and I'm just interested. I mean, I already liked him before but nothing really happened then. On this trip we almost kissed twice and he gave me a hickey! Are things going to change? I just hope it won't be weird or anything. Although judging now, it looks like I have nothing to worry about.

"She was clearly more tired than you were" I'm snapped out of my dreamland when I hear Kyle's voice as he signals behind me.

I think we've been driving for an hour now.

I can hear soft snores from the back signaling that Winnie is asleep as I look back to see her cute face.

"She's adorable" I coo.

"She had quite the trip, didn't she" He notes thoughtfully.

"Tell me about it" I agree "Nicholas really put the girl through a lot. At least it was peaceful towards the end"

"What's going to happen between her and that Australian guy?" Kyle asks, eyes on the road.

He's so gorgeous.

"She said he might be coming to college in the country so they'll probably keep in contact. She seemed to really like him"

He hums "Interesting"

Before I can reply, the music stops and my phone starts ringing through the car speaker since I'm still connected to the Bluetooth.

I glance at the screen to see that the caller is Jean. Oh god. I look to Kyle, silently asking if I can answer. He seems to catch on because he gulps but nods nonetheless.

We haven't spoken since Christmas.

"Jean" I reply.

It's actually Riley.

"Chelsea" Her smooth voice greets. I glance at Kyle slightly to see him with a small smile on his face looking concentrated. He probably remembers and misses his sister's voice.

"Hey" I smile "What's up?"

"So you're a teenager, right?" She trails off.

I laugh slightly. I hear Kyle laugh too "Yeah, I guess I am"

"Sorry" She also laughs "What I was saying is... Monty and I want to go on vacation to celebrate the new year. Do you know of like any hotspots around? I tried asking Jake but he's useless"

I hum thoughtfully "Will you guys be bringing Theo with?"

"No, we're leaving him at the house with Monty's aunt. My poor baby. I don't think he'll survive"

"Me too" I laugh "He's obsessed with you"

"I guess Chris will keep him companied though. He always puts him in a good mood" Jeans says thoughtfully.

I hum "Uhm right, so new year hotspots"

"Yes" She breathes dazedly as if she even forgot that she asked me that.

I keep glancing at Kyle and he has a smile on his face the whole time as he listens to our conversation through the speakers.

I really can't think of anything.

"I know of this place near my mom's hometown. It's not too far from there. Anyways it's a type of vacation home. It's called Tiffendale"

"Tiffendale?" She drawls "Sounds fancy. I'll be sure to google it"

"It's really nice there" I assure "My mom has been and she had nothing but good praises for the place"

"I'm sold" Jean jokes causing me to laugh.

"Okay well it's the only one I can think of for now but if I think of others, I'll be sure to tell you" I say.

"Off course. Thanks for the help, neighbor"

I smile "Anytime. Say hi to the boys for me"

"Jakes here too. Must I also say hi to him?" She asks awkwardly.

I frown slightly because we still haven't spoke after his whole confession a while ago. I just hope he's okay now.

"Yes please do" I murmur.

"He's still hung up on you" She jokes slightly "But no worries, he's a big boy and he'll be fine. I'll say hi"

"Thank you" I say.

"Bye, Chels" She bids and I do the same.

"Yep, that's definitely RJ" Kyle says after a while. I was quiet and thinking about the Jake thing "Her voice is still the same and she hasn't changed one bit"

"She's very cool" I add.

"You actually know her, wow" He breathes.

I laugh slightly "You've known this for three days, Chambers"

"It's only sinking in now"

I smile "At least it finally did"

"She really likes you, huh? I knew she would though"

"Yep. I'm every Chambers child's weakness" I grin teasingly causing him to roll his eyes but laugh at me.

"Except my brother"

"Sure I am. He just has a very unique way of showing it" I joke.

"Sure okay" He snorts.

I then remember something.

"Hey" I whisper lowly "What if Winnie can hear us?"

He looks back on instinct "Nah, don't worry about her. When she sleeps, she's out like a light"

"Oh" I breathe.

"I still can't believe you actually know my sister" He murmurs again "This world is too small for my liking"

I just smile "Yeah... and I know your two brother-in-laws and nephew that you don't even know yet"

"You see? It's just all wrong" He jokes.

"So when are you actually planning on meeting them and telling your family?" I ask seriously.

"I haven't thought about it"

"Shouldn't you?" I press cautiously.

He shrugs slowly "I don't really know Chelsea-Anne, I mean what if she doesn't want to hear from us?"

"You won't know unless you try"

"I don't know. I just don't want to disturb her peace. Our family is very far from peaceful"

"You'll regret it, Kyle" I inform sternly "You need to reach out to your sister. Even if it's just you for now until you find out what she wants"

He sighs "I don't know. I'll see"

"Okay..." I murmur.

We drive for a few more minutes until I fall asleep.

What a trip.
