Page 3 of Adore Me
"You look stunning!" Leo yelled as he hugged me and gave me an air kiss. "I am about to say screw this meeting and go with you ladies!" My wound still hurts, and he hugged me hard enough to make it throb hard.
Leo is such a flirt and I know he was just trying to make me feel good and everything, but I blushed all the way through my body. I didn't realize how starved I am for male affection. Leo is very handsome and has blue eyes with dark features. He's really young and has a good body. I've heard before that he is a police officer or something and works in the gang unit. Ironic, I know.
Chapter 3
Vincent appeared at the door and tried to avoid looking at me by looking all over the place. I tried to avoid him too, but when our eyes met and locked, I wanted to run to him. He looked like a god as he stood there; within reach but still so far away. This man exudes confidence and I only witnessed a slight jaw twitch while we looked at each other. "Leo, we have business." That tone of voice he used said everything. He is not to be tested. His eyes looked dead and showed no emotion whatsoever.
I stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds that felt like hours after I refocused. "Come on girls, I want to be there for Ladies Night!" I yelled and pulled the door open, but it would not budge. For some reason his door was so heavy, and I heard him laughing at me as I struggled to open it. "Thanks for your help!" I screamed in a snide voice.
"Where are you ladies going?" Leo asked as he walked me towards Bethany's Range Rover.
When he placed his hand on my lower back, I couldn't stop my shriek that fell out of my mouth. Definitely didn't expect that. "I guess only your guys' bars. You can come by later if you want?" I only asked Leo because I expected him to not come and if he did, he would bring Vincent.
He looked to be thinking about something before he closed my door. Leo tipped his head as if he had a hat on and winked at me before walking back into the house. I watched as he walked away and couldn't help but notice how his ass is not nearly as delicious as Vincent's.
I need to get laid. Like, bad. I went through such a long dry spell before Vincent and now my body knows what kind of pleasure it could have. Believe me, I have considered taking Vincent for a ride a time or two... but...
I sat in the back seat and waited for my friends to come to the car which is annoying me. When I spend time by myself, I begin to think about everything in depth. Frustration is laced through my deep breaths and no matter how many times I try to calm myself down, the only idea that could calm me is Vincent.
Going back to him would be easy and everyone wouldn't judge me. The reasons why I am taking so long is because I want to make damn sure that he can give me the type of attention that I need. Yes, he gave me attention, but I want more than sex. We have fantastic chemistry and I love him so much, but our relationship needs to be more than what we do in the bedroom. I want our lives to be blended and complement each other and I worry that it won't happen. So, until I know for sure, I am going to wait it out. I never used to understand why people used to saygive me a sign,but I do now.
The car doors opened in the front and the jiggled as they moved to get in the car. "Okay, let's go!" Bethany said as she sat in her seat and gave Johnny a kiss goodbye.
"Oh, my word! Let's go!" I said sarcastically. "We get it! You're in love!" I hoping my sarcasm covers me jealously over their relationships that seems perfect in every possible way.
Johnny kissed Bethany's one more time before looking into the backseat and his killer brown eyes penetrated me. "Don't be a bitch because you know you made a mistake." My mouth dropped and he walked away.
As we drove, the girls talked about their businesses and asked how I was feeling. I felt awful because they told me that Anne and Ronnie are having a hard time since they have been alienated. Part of me wanted to reach out to her and be there for her, but I couldn't let the flame out of my hurt feelings. I knew that I would eventually forgive her, and it would be sooner rather than later. We have never managed to go this long without talking.
When we got to the bar, Bethany pulled into the valet section, and the valet driver must have recognized her because he allowed her to cut right in the line. The three of us entered the bar and did not even get stopped once. This is pretty nice. I could get used to this.
"What are you ladies drinking?" A very cute and young Italian man asked as he stared us all down. I suddenly felt self-conscience about myself, but I didn't let it show.
"Um, we will take three sex on the beaches and make them dirty!" I exclaimed as I handed my card to the server to pay for the first round. My hand that held the card stood in suspension while I questioned him with my eyes as to why he wasn't accepting it.
"No, need," he walked away without my card.
"Seriously, when are you going to learn!" Annabeth teased me as she moved to the side of the table for the cute waiter to place our drinks down. The server winked at us and then scurried off. "Just because you think and might want yourself to want to be broken up, you aren't."
This was a battle that I am not going to be a victor at so it’s best to leave it. I rolled my eyes and chugged my drink. The deejay was playing some fun club music and I couldn't help but find myself dancing in my seat. Towards the bottom of my drink, I stood up. "Let's dance!" I chugged the rest of it then slammed my glass on the table and scooted off the seat.
"Okay!" Bethany exclaimed as she scooched off her seat.
"Wait, ladies!" The server came running up to us with a tray of refills. "Here are some fresh ones," he handed us the drinks and then took our old glasses.
Annabeth led us to the middle of the floor and started to sway her hips. Bethany and I followed her lead and started dancing on each other. The music was very loud, so it was impossible to hear what anyone had to say unless you got very close to them.
But that's okay, I don't want to talk. I want to lose myself for at least tonight. Tonight, I don't want to think about how mad I am at myself for tormenting both Vincent and me.
We danced for about three songs by ourselves and then a group of three men came up and started to dance with us. They were pretty cute. Not Italian I could tell, but still had a dark look about them... I humored them and danced with the one that paid attention to me.
"What's your name?" He asked in my ear as he put his arms around my waist to get close to me. I smelled the bourbon on his breath as it cascaded down my cheek. For just meeting, he sure is friendly.
I didn't want to tell him my real name. What if this is one of those spy games? I racked my head to come up with an alter ego. After looking around the bar hoping to find a name, I decided on: "Octlyn." It’s a completely made up name and I knew that if he were to try to Facebook stalk me, he would never be able to find me. So, I told him that was my name.
"I am Jack. It’s nice to meet you," he got really snugly with my back as we were facing our fronts.
We danced for about two songs. Even though he was cute, I couldn't stop thinking about Vincent. He was on my mind and I craved his touch. I was wishing so hard that he would just come up and hold me, but I thought it was a good idea to break up. Holy crap am I ever regretting that decision.
