Jemma's POV:

I was now curling my hair and finishing the last touch ups to my make up. It's Friday night baby!! I know what you're thinking right, typical teen going to a parties.

Umm no. Justin is staying at a friends house and I'm taking Jen to a club one town over. I know I sound like a bad influence but I figure at least if she's with me, I can make sure she's safe and not doing anything stupid. Besides its not like we're gonna drink.

Plus I know the owner, bouncer and staff. So they'll help keep an eye on Jen. She can have a good time within reasonable limits and lets face it, that's way better then going to a random party and getting trashed or roofied or who knows what else.

We park out back and I call Tom (the owner) he lets us in the back door and we chat for a few minutes. Then I lead Jen to the dance floor. This place has the best mix. One minute you're moshing to Marilyn Manson. The next dropping it like it's hot to Lil Wayne.

"Dude this is soooo awesome! Do you think they'd let us dance on the speakers?" Jen pleaded giving me her best puppy dog eyes.

I roll mine but grin "Probably but we gotta talk to Pete first. He's the DJ and he can get a little touchy about his equipment. Come on." I grab her hand and drag her over to the raised DJ platform.

A bouncer is stationed there. He looks over at me and yanks me into a huge hug. "Girl where the hell have you been? I haven't seen ya in a while" he yells trying to be heard over the music.

"Awe Blue I missed ya too. By the way this is Jen my baby sister. Jen this is Blue, he's head of security here. If you have any problems or we get separated just get him" I tell her.

"So what can I do for ya princess?" He asks me.

"Besides keep an eye on my baby sister? Can you give me a lift up? I wanna talk to Pete real quick."

He lifts me up and I wait a minute till Pete looks over "Hey girlie long time no see! Whatcha doing here and does the boss man know?" He asks pulling me into a hug.

"Yeah he knows. All the boys have said the same thing. I just been busy that's all. I'm sorry I haven't been here but I had a lot going on and ya know how it is when a new school year starts. Soooo since ya missed me so much can me and my sister dance on the speakers?" I beg giving him my best pouty face.

He stands there tapping his chin for a minute pretending to be deep in thought. Then smiles the cheesiest smile ever. "Fine but you gotta cover my booth for a few minutes, I really gotta take a leak!! I was like seconds away from doing the potty dance."

I laugh as he started demonstrating his version of the potty dance. "You coulda had one of the boys cover for you but you know I will."

"Psshh girl you must have smoked some crack!! I don't let anyone but you touch my baby. I already got the line up set up so just let me introduce you."

"HELLO ALL YOU PARTYING FOOLS!!! I'm takin a quick break but before I do let me Introduce you guys to my girl JEMMA! Who decided to grace us with her gorgeous and talented body tonight!! " he winks at me then hands me the microphone.

"LETS GET THIS BITCH ROCKIN!!" I scream and set the laser lights to the beat and jam away till Pete gets back.

I grab Jen and Blue lifts us on to the speakers. We spend the next 2 hours dancing our little hearts off.

"Jen I'm gonna grab a drink and catch up with Scott wanna come?" I yell over the blasting base of a five finger death punch song.

"Hell no I'm gonna stay right here. Go have fun, catch up with everyone. I'll get Blue to find ya when I get down. I love this! You're the bestest big sister ever!"

I laugh while hopping down.

I get to the bar and decide to just hop over and get my own drink. Scott's swamped right now and probably hasn't noticed me yet. I grab a bottle of water downing that baby without taking a breath until Scott bumps my hip with his.

"You know the rules Jemma, if your ass is back here during rush, I'm gonna put your ass to work!" He mock glared before throwing me over his shoulder and swatting my butt. Then he set me back down and ordered me to "help a sexy bitch out!"

I laughed "All ya gotta do is say please Scotty boy!"

I spend the next half hour helping catch him up and politely brushing off the drunk pervos who try hitting on me. It's slowing down a little so me and Scott are catching up when one of my favorite songs come on.

Its Candy land by Blood on the Dance Floor. Its so flippin funny! I look at Scott and pout my bottom lip out. He just laughs and helps me onto the bar, tossing me the toy microphone we bedazzled a few months back. Awe he saved it.

He jumps up on the bar with me and we proceed to belt out our song. Well not our song but we both love it. I swear if Scott wasn't gay really flaming gay I would so try to get in his panties!

I'm singing the chorus

Welcome to candy land I'll split your ass in two

so take me by the hand lick me up and slide me down

and satisfy my sweet tooth! Welcome to candy land

You'll wanna fuck me twice. I'll be your gingerbread man

First time naughty second time nice!

and happen to look down at the person Scott just hip bumped me into, whose head I'm currently holding to keep from falling off the bar.

 Ha of course. This kinda stuff only happens to me.

I remove my hand and plop down so I'm sitting on the bar in front of him. "Well hello there Mr. Jenkins. How's your weekend going?" I drawl nonchalantly.

He just laughs "It's good, some buddies of mine are down on leave for the weekend. How's yours going Ms. James?" he asks smiling brightly.

"Hmm pretty good so far. Not too eventful." I reply like it's completely normal to not only be in a 21 and over club but also be singing and dancing on the bar of said club.

Man he looks hot dressed in dress clothes but damn he looks killer in his low slung jeans and tight black tee. I could literally see the outline of every well toned sexy muscle and it was just yummy to say the least.

"Well I better get these drinks back to the guys. Have fun Ms. James and try not to get into any trouble." He said standing up and giving me a teasing grin.

I laughed. "Awe don't worry your pretty little head about me Mr. Jenkins I'll-"

Scott popped in between us interrupting me "Hey Jems I know your favorite song's about to come on and I promised to dance it with you but Tom just had a hissy fit saying that since we're short tonight I can't leave the bar." He says pouting his bottom lip out.

Umm color me clueless cause we had no such conversation. What the hell is this boy up to?

"Scotty boy what the hell-" I start to ask him what he's talking about.

"I know right I mean.. Well hello handsome." He says giving Mr. Jenkins' a broad grin.

That is so Scott he interrupts me talking about something I have no clue about and then his ADD kicks in.

"Would you mind dancing with my little sex monkey?" he coos flirtatiously to Mr. Jenkins.

"Huh, uhh well I don't think that that's a" Mr. Jenkins seemed to be struggling so I took pity on him.

"No Scott, he doesn't want to dance with me and for the millionth time don't call me that fuckin name unless you want my sparkly mic shoved up your-"

Just then I noticed 3 other guys standing next to Mr. Jenkins. All of them busted out laughing. Mr. Jenkins tensed a little when they started to introduce themselves.

"Hey sexy I'm Skip, this is Vin, that's Paul and if Michael wont dance with you I'll be happy to fill in for him. By the way what's your name sexy?" The one standing closest to Mr Jenkins purred.

"Hmm Skip was it? My names Notta" I purr trying not to laugh.

"Oh that's sexy, has an Italian ring to it. What's your last name gorgeous?" He asks really thinking his cheap lines are getting him somewhere.

I look over at Mr Jenkins who looks slightly confused. "Chance" I drawl looking back at Skip.

About 3 seconds later everyone is roaring laughing even Skip.

"That's a new one, Ya know I like feisty women." he says stepping a little closer. Mr Jenkins stops him though "Sorry guys the song's fixing to change and I owe Jemma a dance."

My heart hiccupped. That's the first time he called me by my first name. He always says Ms. James.

He leads me to the middle of the dance floor just as the song changes to Motivation by Kelly Rowland. I hesitate a second because this song is a bit on the grind side but he seems okay with it. I start to sway my hips to the slow sexy rhythm of the song.

He pulls me a little closer so our bodies are touching. My breathing speeds up and heart races a little as I feel him slide his hands down my hips. I know I'm beet red so I turn around, leaning my back into his chest as we slowly grind on each other.

I slide my hands up and back around his neck to grab hold of his hair getting into the song and it's tempting words. I could feel his breath on my neck hitch a little as he glides his hands around my stomach to hold me tightly to him. I grind my butt a little harder on him.

A new song comes on but he doesn't release me and I don't even think about stepping away from our extremely close position.

He whispers in my ear. "Another dance?" I nod my head because words seem too much for me right now.

I was blown away that his lips and breath on my ear shot tingly sparks through my entire body. That's never happened to me before but I loved it and wanted him to maybe kiss my neck or nibble my ear lobe. Imagining that and how it would feel I vaguely realized that the song playing is Lick by Joi.

He uses his grip around my hips to turn me back around flush against him. We dance slowly staring at each other. Our hips rolling in perfect harmony, our breaths shared and frenzied. I've never felt like this before. Like the world stopped existing. It's only us.

I slide my hands up his neck and back into his hair gripping it and pulling him even closer so there was no space between his chest and mine. We were pushed together from head to toe and everywhere in between. My legs on either side of his and his thigh pushed slightly forward. If I pushed down just a bit I bet our combined movements would have me moaning in seconds.

After that thought hits me I reluctantly put an inch of space between us. I don't like it but to make up for it I trail my hands down and rub them across his firm chest and down to his hard abs.

In response he slides his hands along my hips to my lower back and runs one slowly up to gently cup the back of my neck. I want to run my tongue across his full bottom lip but I know I cant.

So I lean in closer and whisper in his ear. "Mmm I love the way you move." I gave a satisfied purr as his grip on me tightened in response to my innuendo.

The song ends and we crash back to reality.

Here I am grinding and rubbing on my teacher getting seriously hot and bothered. What if one of the teachers came clubbing and saw us. I mean we were just dancing but we were touching provocatively and I'm pretty sure there is some kind of a rule against it.

Damn I wish he'd kissed me...

Snap out of it Jemma. But he's kinda my friend right and friends can dance right? Hell sorta friends can even smooch a time or two without it being weird right?

Um no, no they can not and more like hell no if one of them is the other's teacher!

He leads me off the dance floor with his hand on my lower back, his thumb rubbing small circles. I shiver from the tingles that small caress causes.

I should have kissed him instead of tell him he dances good. Man I'm such a loser!

I wonder if our little dance turned him on as much as it did me? I mean I did feel his um enthusiasm but was it from me or just the stimulation of being pressed against by a female in general?

I'm so going to hell. I seriously need to get a grip! He's in the no-go zone.

Besides he doesn't see me like that. I'm just a kid, his student, at the most an acquaintance perhaps almost a friend.

Why does that make me a little sad?

We walk up to the bar and Scott starts clapping "Damn that was H.O.T. Awe my little Jemma bean's blushing. Awe that's sooo cute" he teased.

"Ughh. Shut up Scott. It was just a dance. Can you get on the headset and ask Blue if Jen's by him and if he could bring her to the back. It's almost 2. Danny and Terri are gonna flip if I keep her out much later."

"Girl I've told you a thousand times just move out already, you're almost 18 besides in the state of Texas you're considered a legal adult at the age of 17. You know you could stay at mine or Blue's. Not to mention Tom already told you he'd pay for an apartment." He said looking truly concerned. I gave his hand a light squeeze.

"It hasn't been too bad lately. We just don't talk. She hasn't tried anything since I slapped her back last time. Anyway I'm gonna head out back. Give the guys my love and tell Tom I'll go see him and Susan sometime next week" I leaned over the bar and kissed his cheek.

I turned and bumped into Mr Jenkins. Crap how had I forgotten he was there? Oh well he probably didn't hear anything with all the teasing his friends are doing.

"I'll see ya Monday sir" I say as I start to make my way around him.

"Let me at least walk you out." He took hold of my hand and told me to lead the way. I like how nice my hand feels cradled by his.

I led him out through the back door towards my car. I open it up and grab my cigarettes from the glove compartment. I lit one up and leaned back against my car.

"So you seem pretty close with the guys that work here. I mean they kinda let you do whatever you want." He seemed intently focused on me while he asked that.

I blew out another drag slowly "Yeah we are, I love those guys. Long story short: Tom and Susan are the owners and they're actually my aunt and uncle who don't have anything to do with my parents. I've always been close to them though and as soon as I turned 15 I started to work here under the table. Helping in the back or during the day sorting orders. Eventually I learned all aspects of running the club and on the rare occasions when they've gotta be away I run it for them. All the staff took me under their wings and treat me like their sister. We're a family here." I said shrugging my shoulders.

Just then Jen and Blue walk out. Blue's laughing at something Jen says as they walk up. Blue yanks me into a big bear hug.

"Blue.. cant... breath" I gasp out.

He lets go but slings his arm around my shoulder "Sorry princess, but if you hadn't stayed away so long then I woulda had my Jemma bean fix! I think we're all having withdraw here!" he says squeezing me a little.

"Bluuuuuue stop making me feel guilty. It was only a month and I just needed some me time to get straight with everything. I'm back now. I'm going to Tom's place this week to talk to him about everything. Besides you know it was his idea for me to take a vacation not mine. Tell everyone I'll see y'all in a few day." I kiss his cheek and look over at Mr. Jenkins

"Oh Blue this is a friend of mine, Michael, can you take him back in for me" I turn back to Mr. Jenkins and see he has a huge koolaid smile.

"Michael this is Blue, he's head of security, just follow him back in and thanks for waiting with me. See ya Monday" I turn back to see Jen almost asleep in the passenger seat already and giggle.

I turn to get in the car and Mr Jenkins stops me. "Hey Jemma, be careful driving home. In fact hand me your phone" He says following me to the driver side.

"Umm why?"

He sighs "Jemma just do it please."

"Fine" I grumble but hand him my phone. I climb in my ride and he hands it back to me.

"I put my number in so please text me when you get home so I know you're safe." He tucked some hair behind my ear. 

Damn can he get any sweeter?

"Ok but seriously you don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine." I assured him but truthfully I got a little rush that he seems to genuinely care.

He just smiles and says "That's what friends do."

45 minutes later I'm parked outside of my house waking Jen up. I watch her zombie walk to her room and throw herself on the bed. Silently laughing at her I squat down and pull her shoes off so she can sleep comfortably.

I lay down on my bed and grab my phone scrolling through the contacts. I clicked on his name and opened a text link.

Hey It's Jemma, home safe so don't worry have fun with your buddies. Be careful driving, call a taxi or get Blue to bring you home if you drink to much. xoxo Jems

Glad you made it safely. We're heading out soon. I'm fine to drive don't worry mom! ; P XXX Michael

Haha don't quit your day job teach!! I'm younger than you so I cant be yo mama! Besides didn't you say friends worry about friends? Anyway see ya Monday Jerk face! lol xoxo Jems

I was just about to fall asleep when I heard my phone buzz. I opened up the text

What can I say I'm a miracle baby! lol yeah Jemma that's what friends do. BTW the guys said it was nice meeting you. See ya Monday big mouth =D

Saturday passed by quickly since I spent most of it with Tina at the mall then we picked up Robert and went to the movies. I decided against going to a party with them after. Since I'm planning on running in the morning I'm gonna try the 2 mile run along the beach and pier. See if I like it. Mr. Jenkins and Donald have made me totally paranoid about my usual route.
