The dance floor goes dark as "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX starts to play.

Strobe lights!Nice!

I thrust my tits at Aurei for him to take the bottles.The crowd shouts "Boom Clap" and sings with the song.I start to giggle because Aurei is grinning wickedly at me as he squeezes my tits behind the water bottles.I watch his beautiful face change expressions as the strobe light highlights his halo, his bright, emerald green eyes, and his straight white teeth.When the song ends, and the low lights are back on, he actually takes the water from me.While we walk back together laughing, "Far Away" by Nickelback plays.

When the table comes in view, what I see makes me angry all over again.A bad taste comes into my mouth.Ruth is still sitting there, watching the dance floor, waiting for Aurei to return, no doubt.Steve and Paul are sitting silently, watching for Aurei too.

When Aurei spots her, he swears."Damn!"He doesn't slow down.He advances on her while I stop on the edge of the dance floor, trying to decide how I will handle this.

Will I be able to make her leave without a fight?Or will we have a catfight right now?

Ruth has eyes only for him."Aurei, I requested this song for you.It's fitting, don't you think?"

He stops shy of the chair she has her feet on."Ruth, for the last damn time, nothing happened between us.Nothing.You've been lying to those girls so long you are starting to believe it too."He turns to say something to me, only to find I'm not there; I stopped short.

My stomach slides down to my tummy as I look at his frowning face.He is disappointed I'm not with him, and his look puts my feet in action.

Strutting up, I pull the chair her feet are resting on and place it in front of him, blocking him from the table.Then I take two bottles of water from his arms and turn to face her.Her feet dangle as I step up to stand directly in front of her and stare her cold, blue eyes down again.

I am unafraid, Bitch!Get used to it.

I lean around her, brushing her body as I hand Steve and Paul the two bottles of water.

Ruth slides off the table to avoid contact with me.

I smile and wink at them.I got this, boys.

They smile, take the bottles and lean back in their chairs to watch the show.I hear Aurei chuckle behind me.

As I stand to face her again, she spits."Look what the cat drug in."

I place my hands on my hips and out southern sass her."Fucking hell, boys!Look what the dog dug up!"

Steve and Paul spit water while Aurei laughs out loud.

I tell her, "Take a hint, Baby Ruth!Scat!"

She makes a skank face at me, then looks at Aurei.

He tells her too."Take a hike, Ruth."

She crosses her arms, gives me a go-to-hell look, fails to fling her hair, and stomps off back to her crew.They follow her off, fading away into the dancers on the floor as Bad Meets Evil, "Lighters" starts.

Aurei opens a water and hands it to me, then opens one for himself.We clink them then turn them up.When I lower mine, I ask him."What did she want besides you?"

"Nothing.Don't worry about it.Nothing has ever happened between us.Any claim of more than polite conversation is all in her mind."

"She's a stalker then?"I ask for clarification as he sits back down in the chair.I lean on the table, waiting for his answer.

"Yes!"Steve volunteers behind me.

"That's a strong.…."Aurei looks at Steve, then at me."That's not a word I would have chosen."Then he clams up.

I cross my arms, raise an eyebrow at him, then turn on Steve."Spill it."

Steve takes a breath, but Aurei answers behind me."She made up a story graduation night when I found her passed out in the back of my truck…."

Paul finishes for him."With her precious pussy pounded."
