Chapter Thirty One. 

            “Well would you look at this.” Mark chuckled. “Looks like you two are back to normal.”

            All eyes stared at us as my hand was in his and I was leading him back into the living room. It had been about an hour or so up in his room and I feel like him and I needed to let everything out and all of our emotions to each other. We didn’t have sex, no, but talking to each other about a lot of stuff was good I think because we’re not exactly used to doing that. We’re used to pouring our feelings out in sex verses actually communicating them so this was good and this was a huge step for us. I certainly felt closer to him and I think he did too.

            “You guys okay?” Casey asked.

            “Better than ever.” Justin answered for me. “There were just a lot of things we needed to talk about but we’re good now. Really good.”

            “Okay so now that your guys’ bullshit is out of the way, Capa is throwing a party next weekend and we all got the invite. Are you guys gonna be cool and go or be lame and stay back?”

            Justin stared at Scott for a couple of seconds before he sunk down onto the floor and pulled me down into his lap.

            “Up to Reina.” He said. “Do you wanna go?”

            “I mean, yeah. I’m always up for a party. It sounds like fun.”

            “See? I told you.” Casey whined to Scott. “I vote we just stay and watch Netflix babe.”

            “But this is one of the biggest parties of the year. Everyone and anyone will be there.”

            “Now if you had chosen wisely and you had chosen to stay back with me you would have gotten so much head during our movie night.”

            My mouth completely dropped open once Casey said that and all of the guys erupted into laughter, including Justin, Scott getting a disappointed look on his face because he must know that she’s telling the truth. The one thing I knew about Casey was that she’s serious about everything but I never knew her to be the outspoken type. College must really be hitting her.

            “Fuck.” He laughed, putting his arm around her shoulder. “Can I change my mind?”

            “Nope. You chose the party. I’ll go, but you won’t be getting anything afterwards.”

            Then we all started to laugh because we knew she was just joking around but it was cute to see the two of them together. They honestly and truly really did make a great couple and the weirdest thing is that they hardly ever fight. Casey has never told me about a fight between the two of them and I kind of wish Justin and I were like that. I get that not every relationship is going to be the same but I just wish I had more faith in ours so that we could be like that. Happy and in love all the time instead of the ups and downs.

            “Hey.” Justin murmured into my ear when no one was paying attention. “Can we go upstairs?”

            “So we can have sex? No offense but after everything that-“

            “No, not sex. I just want to be alone with you and be away from my friends for a bit.”

            Never has he once said this to me and when I got a smile on my face he knew the answer. It was adorable of him because in a way I think he feels like he can’t be his true self in front of his friends. I mean yeah, he’s sappy in front of them, but when we’re alone he’s a complete different person but I didn’t mind because I understand. He wants to keep his ego around his friends.

            “Um, yeah.” I finally replied and stood up. “I’d love that.”

            “A second round?” Mark laughed. “I would say I’m surprised but I’m not.”

            “No not a second round.” I said. “We wanna cuddle.”

            “Reina I don’t know what the hell you did with Justin but it continues to mind blow me every day.” Scott spoke up as we headed towards the staircase. “Since when the hell did that dick every want to cuddle with a girl?”

            Turning around to give them a sly grin, I looked up at Justin who had a grin plastered on his face as well.

            “Since he met me.” I laughed, shaking my hips side to side.

            “Do not do that.” Justin laughed too, grasping onto my hips and leading me up the staircase to ignore the sound of his friends’ laughter.

            “Why?”

            “Because I imagine way too many things when you do that. Just don’t.”

            Gently closing the door to his room, he surprised me and gently pressed his lips to mine as he led me over towards the bed. His hands were running down my waist and the kiss was slow, his lips moving with mine in such a romantic and sensual way it was like I couldn’t breathe. Whenever I kissed him it felt like my lungs weren’t working and all I could do was just let him take the lead and do whatever he wanted with me.

            “I missed you so much.” He whispered quietly. “You know, you and I.”

            We landed onto his bed and I was on top of him as I settled in-between his thighs, my head resting on his chest as he began to run his fingertips up and down my back.

            “God, I missed you too.” I sighed, placing a kiss to his lower stomach. “I missed you so much baby.”

            His room was freezing, literally freezing, and when I started to shiver he pulled the comforter up and instructed me to get up so he could wrap it over my back before I settled back down onto his chest and felt his arms tighten around me. Nothing in this world to compare to the feeling of when he holds me. Nothing is better.

            “Stay tonight?” He asked. “Please?”

            “Yeah. Of course.”

            That seemed to relax him because he settled back down into the pillows and let out a sigh of relief it seemed like. Being in his arms felt so damn good and I can’t imagine what I would have been like if we hadn’t made up tonight. Things were good between us, really good, and for the first time I feel like we’re with each other one hundred percent.

            “Justin.” I whispered.

            “Hm?”

            “I love you. I love you a whole freaking lot.”

            “And I love you a whole freaking shit ton.”

            That made me laugh.

            “Are you tired?” I asked.

            “I mean, yeah. A little. But I want to keep talking to you.”

            “You can go to sleep Justin. I’m not going to go anywhere.”

            “Are you sure?”

            “Enough.” I giggled, looking up at him. “Just go to bed.”

 ---------

             The night of the party I was dressed as best as I possibly could be for Justin. Spending hours in my dorm room, I had picked out a tight black lace dress that hugged every curve I had along with some tights and some high-heeled boots. My hair was curled to perfection and for my make-up I did a smoky eye with red lipstick, something Justin has never seen on me before. People would think I looked like a slut and yes, that could possibly be the case, but I wanted to look like one for him and only him. That’s the only reason.

            “This is why I hate parties.” Casey spat, coming to stand in the mirror next to me. “You look like that and I look like this.”

            Now I wish I could say that she looked perfect for the party tonight but a plaid button down and jeans didn’t really fit the criteria. She would stand out like a sore thumb.

            “Because you decided to dress like a nun.” I laughed. “Don’t you want to make Scott drool over you tonight?”

            “I mean yeah, but I just don’t know how to.”

“For gods sake Casey. Just show a little cleavage and wear something tight. The way to a guys heart isn’t rocket science.”

            That made her laugh and when she was still complaining and being indecisive I finally just grabbed onto her hand and rummaged through my clothing until I found a tight mini skirt and a red long sleeved crop top. Her eyes went wide when she saw herself in the mirror and I had to admit, she did look really good. Maybe I should go to school to be a fashion stylist.

“There.” I admitted proudly. “Now we can go.”

--------- 

            “WHO’S GETTING LAID TONIGHT?!” Mark screamed, slapping hands with Colby. “I’M SO READY!”

            It seemed like Mark had already started drinking and I felt sorry for whatever girl he’d bring home for the night. He had a way of convincing them that he was in it for the long run and as soon as he got what he wanted he’d tell them to leave. Literally. Almost once every week I’d be up late and a girl would come downstairs crying as she left. Mark was just a complete asshole.

            “Not Scott.” Colby laughed, slapping hands again when Mark joined in. “You heard Casey last week.”

            “And trust me when I say I have my ways into her pants.” Scott replied, fixing his button down shirt collar. “Step one, wear a button down because it’s her favorite. Step two, grab her ass when nobody’s looking. Step three, kiss the side of her neck and wrap my arms around her waist. Her panties will drop.”

            “All I have to say is that when we get home nobody interrupt Reina and I. We haven’t fucked in I don’t know how long.”

            “Looks like we’re all gonna be busy tonight then.”

            “Whoever makes their girl moan the loudest wins!” Mark smirked. “And whoever loses has to-“

            Knocks on the door interrupted him and that’s when we all knew that Reina and Casey were here. Tonight was going to be a fun one and when that door opened I don’t think anyone said anything because holy shit.

            “Fuck.” Scott said immediately, scanning Casey up and down. “Where the hell did my girlfriend go?”

            “Away for the night… thought I’d switch it up a bit.”

            The thing I loved the most about Reina is that with me she’s self-conscious and I know that but if you were to be a stranger to her you would think she’s the most confident girl out there. The way she’s twirling a piece of hair around her fingertips and the way she’s biting on her lip with that god damn lipstick makes every guy attracted to her but it’s the look in her eye that’s silently wishing for approval. I could tell she was nervous about my reaction and in all honesty, would I like for her to dress like this all the time? No. Would I like for her to dress like this in the bedroom for me? Yes.

            Colby and Mark didn’t even have anything to say either. They just stood where they were and gawked at Reina because even though Casey had on a tight mini skirt Reina was the sexiest and I can’t believe she couldn’t realize that.

            “Hi.” She cheesed, wrapping her arms around my neck. “You look so damn good.”

            Just like Scott, I had chosen an outfit that Reina said was her favorite because I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to get laid tonight. I’m craving her and so I chose a leather jacket with some jeans and a red shirt to go underneath. She said that’s what she liked me best in.

            “Tonight this is staying on.” I murmured into her ear as I tugged on the dress. “I’m gonna fuck you in it, yeah?”

            “Yeah?” She mocked. “Is that what you’re gonna do?”

            “More than once. Probably more than twice. C’mon, let’s go.”

 ---------

             The party was going great. Two hours have gone by and of course you had the typical groups hanging out with each other. The girls who wanted to get laid and then the guys who were looking to get laid. Mark and Colby were in that one. Then you had the couples like us that were just sitting around the living room having a good time and drinking with some good ass music playing, fine girls on our laps, and a beer in each of our hands. That’s a good party to me.

            “Truth or dare.” Casey laughed to Reina, trying not to act like she was tipsy.

            “Dare. I want a freaking dare!”

            Drunk Reina was something I never witnessed but it was hysterical. She was herself but just a more pumped up and energetic one. Not to mention she was cute as hell when she stuttered and slurred some of her words together.

            “I dare you to… give Justin a lap dance for thirty seconds.”

            Nobody thought she would do it and even I didn’t think she would but surprisingly she stood up – stumbling slightly from the alcohol – and sent me a little smirk as her hips moved to the music in such a seductive way and my eyes were glued to every inch of her body right in front of me. Reina was different from any other girl I’ve ever met before and she was so damn cute when she was drunk and trying to be sexy. She kept laughing when she saw the expression on my face and when she turned around so I could look at her ass that’s when I grasped her hips so she could grind right where I wanted her to.

            Reina seemed to understand what I wanted because her ass moved in circles and my god when I felt her rub up against me I felt like I couldn’t breathe. My body tensed a little and I closed my eyes from the feeling and when Casey said the time was up I was pissed. That was way too much of a tease.

            “My turn!” She giggled. “Casey, truth or dare?”

            “Truth.”

            Typical Casey. Typical bible girl.

            “Okay, ummmmm…” She trailed off, wasted beyond belief. It was so cute and then she turned to look at me again. “W-what should I ask?”

            “I don’t know baby. It’s up to you.”

            “Is it true that you really aren’t going to have sex with Scott tonight?” She laughed. “Are you really not gonna give it up?”

            I laughed at the question she asked, everyone else sitting around us laughing as well.

            “Complete lie. He knows that.”

            “Well I do now.” Scott smirked, locking eyes with me for a second. “That just made my damn night.”

            Reina went to go reach for another shot and I gently took her palm in mine, which caused her to giggle and turn to look at me once more. Her cheeks were a rosy color from the alcohol and her eyes were all lit up from being so happy. I loved that she was like this but one, I didn’t want her to get sick and two; I didn’t want her to go to sleep. Both would result in me not getting laid tonight.

            “You don’t need anymore.” I soothed.

            “B-baby I wanna go.” She replied. “Can we?”

            “Why? The party’s just getting started.”

            “Because I need you…”

            And then she kissed the side of my neck and I sucked in a sharp breath from the feeling, Scott giving me a thumbs up like the asshole he is, as I tried not to laugh. I was ready and she was ready so why wait?

            “Okay.” I nodded, gently pushing her off of my lap. “Yeah, we can.”

            “Great. Lemme just pee first.”

            She stood up and I watched her stumble down the hallway, my tongue going against the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. My girl was way too drunk to function right now but something tells me it’s going to be the best sex ever tonight.

            “Casey and I are leaving man.” Scott smirked. “I’m getting there before you guys do.”

            “Just make sure it’s in your room Scott. Reina and I are about to leave too.”

            Disappearing into the sea of people, I waited on the couch for another five minutes before I decided to go and find her. She said she had to pee so it shouldn’t take more than a minute for crying out loud. Not to mention I’m horny beyond belief and there’s no way in hell I can go another second.

            Girls had their eyes on me as I began to make my way down the hallway I had seen her go into but I didn’t pay them any attention. Reina was like a goddess compared to them and all I wanted to do was find her but when I knocked on the bathroom door it was empty. Where the hell was she?

            I haven’t been to this side of the house yet and as the music was blaring through my ears, someone tapped me on the shoulder and I looked behind me to see Mark. I was hoping it would be Reina but unfortunately it wasn’t.

            “Dude!” He shouted. “That Luke guy took your girl into the room upstairs. Reina asked me to get you cause she looked scared as shit.”

            “What the fuck man?!” I spat. “You didn’t go with her to help?!”

            I didn’t stick around to hear him because the only thought in my mind was the rumors about this Luke kid and what he did to girls. All I know is that my girl sure as hell won’t be added onto that list and when I was upstairs banging loudly on the door, it didn’t work. The handle was locked and I couldn’t hear anything from the loud music. All I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat because Reina’s safety means more to me than anything. If anything happens to her I don’t know what I’d do with myself.

            “Hey.” I said to a girl who was walking past me. “Can I see your hair pin please?”

            She stared at me for a good five seconds before she just nodded her head and passed it over, standing there to see what I’d do. I wasn’t trying to hit on her if that’s what she was thinking and when she finally realized I wanted nothing more to do with her she just muttered an incoherent cuss word and walked more down the hallway.

            The lock was difficult to get open but when the pin fit into it correctly and the door became unlocked, I opened it to see Reina on the floor with her knees hugged up to her chest, bawling her eyes out. Luke was perched on the bed in front of her, not touching her, not kissing her, but she was bawling and he made her cry and I don’t know why I’m so protective or possessive over her but I just am and if any fucking thing hurts her they’re automatically dead to me. She’s been hurt enough.

            “Get out!” I seethed, grasping him by his shirt. “What the fuck are you doing with my girl?”

            “Oh I think she’ll tell you.” He smirked. “Hm Reina? You want to tell him?”

            “Just get out!” She sobbed.

            “Tell me what? What the hell is he talking about?”

            “The way her daddy used to fuck her. Isn’t that right Reina? The way he used to sneak into your room at night and touch you like you’ve never been touched before. You loved every second of it you little slut.”

            My fist came into the side of his face before he even had the time to get away and once I started I couldn’t stop. I never knew this and I knew she said she had a rough past but never once did I think this was it. All I could hear was the ringing in my ears and her sobs as I punched him relentlessly, taking all of the anger out that I was feeling in this exact moment towards this asshole and towards her father. Towards everything this perfect girl has gone through.

            “Why the fuck are you talking about that?” I said through gritted teeth.

            “H-He wanted me to sleep with him.” She cried, shaking her head in disbelief. “I-I said no and then he started to bring it up. Justin I’m so sorry. I should have told you and I don’t know how he knows that but-“

            “It’s amazing what can be found in public records.” He laughed even though blood was spilling onto the carpet. “She’ll get with me eventually.”

            A new force took over my whole body and with my single hand I pulled him up from the ground, holding him nose to nose with me as my hand was holding him by his shirt.

            “Take your disgusting fucking ass out of this house and if I ever see you again in a two foot radius of her I’m going to kill you. What a pathetic piece of scum.”

            Tossing him out into the hallway, I re-closed the door again and locked it before I finally just let the silence in and tried to process what the hell just happened. So many things were just let out and when I looked at her again she was sobbing hysterically, her face in her hands from being so ashamed. She had no reason to be ashamed because this wasn’t her fault. None of this is.

            I walked across the room and sat down in front of her, pulling her knees towards mine so she was closer to me.

            “I don’t know if you want to talk about it Reina but you just need to know that-“

            “That what? That I’m a slut? I already know it Justin. I’m a slut that’s used to it and now you’re probably piecing it together. That’s why I opened my legs up to you so quickly and that’s why I dress the way I dress and act the way I do. It’s all because of my fucking daddy issues and now you know the rest of it. Now you know everything I n-never wanted you to!”

            I’ve never seen her so broken before in my entire life and as she continued to cry I took it a step further and pulled her into my lap, which surprised her. I think she expected me to be mad at her but I wasn’t by any means.

            “You wanna know what I’m thinking right now?” I asked quietly, taking her hand in mine. “Can you stop crying for me sweetheart? Please?”

            It took her a couple of minutes before she finally started to calm down, her sobs turning into little sniffles until I wiped underneath her eyes to get rid of the tears.

            “What I think is that you’re a beautiful confident girl who is classy and sophisticated and everything I’m looking for. I think you’re funny and outgoing and the life of the party whenever we’re together. I think you were the perfect girl to bring home to my parents and I think that I’m more in love with you now than I’ve ever been. That’s what I’m thinking Reina.”

            “S-so even though my dad-“

            “Hey.” I soothed. “Right now you’re not in a good place to talk about it Reina and maybe in time you will be but tonight’s not it. What happened in your past is a part of your past and I’m in love with the girl sitting in front of me. Your past made you who you are and I can’t picture anyone better.”

            Running my fingertips in circles around her palm, her breathing was getting back to normal and now her eyes were all bloodshot from the tears. It feels like a knife gets pressed through my chest every time I hear a little bit about her past and frankly I don’t think I’m strong enough to hear it yet without wanting to fly and meet her dad just to personally kill him.

            “You make me so relaxed…” She whispered, resting her head on my shoulder. “I love you so much Justin.”

            “Well that’s my job, right? I’ve never been a boyfriend to anyone before but I’m trying to be a good one.”

            “And you’re being a great one. Beyond that even. You’re perfect Justin and I can’t thank you enough for putting up with me because you honestly deserve someone so much better.”

            “Don’t say that again.” I said seriously. “You deserve me and I deserve you.”

            “Not when-“

            “Sh. You’re staying with me tonight. Let’s go.”

A/N:

Hopefully you guys understand more where Reina is coming from. A lot is about to unravel so I just hope you guys are prepared. It's about to get extremely intense. 

Comment and let me know what you thought!
