"Jayden." I spoke softly into the blanket that was wrapped around both of us.

After going to dinner we decided to come back to my house and watch a movie.  We debated about what to watch and eventually decided on Pirates of the Caribbean, which was not my first choice. It's not that I didn't like that movie I just wanted something scary so that I had an excuse to cuddle up to him. I know, I'm just lame like that. 

"Delanie." He whispered back to me, his breath tickled my ear and made my heart flutter. Oh god I really was falling for him. How could I not? He had been such a gentleman during the entire date, besides not letting me pick the movie, and he was hot as hell. Who wouldn't fall for him? No wonder he gets so many girls, but that thought just made me sick to my stomach.

"Thank you."

"For what beautiful?" My cheeks flushed fire engine red, he called me beautiful! Jayden Breeze, hottest guy I have ever laid eyes on was calling me beautiful. As if my night couldn't get any better.

"Well, for calling me beautiful," I giggled "and for the best date I could have asked for."

"Thank you for being so beautiful and so easy to entertain." he chuckled and brushed some hair out of my face. I was leaning into him with my arm draped around his stomach and he had his arm around my waist pulling me closer against him. Every time I breathed I could smell his cologne and it was just making me all the more attracted to him. 

"Awe you guys are so cute together!" 

Oh I guess I forgot to mention, when we got back to my house Cali and Amanda were waiting to hear how things went. I was happy that Jayden didn't seem to mind having them watch the movie with us, it wasn't like I was going to kick them out just so I could be alone with him. He seemed to like my friends a lot, which is good because I would never ever dream of giving them up for any guy, not even the gorgeous Jayden Breeze. 

My friends were respectful of the fact that it was still a date and tried to keep quiet during the movie, but these are my friends we are talking about. Them shutting up is nearly impossible so they did the best they possibly could. They also sat on the love seat instead of the couch, which was nice of them but not entirely necessary. Minus a few out bursts about the movie, specifically about how hot Orlando Bloom was, they were the perfect wall flowers. Until Cali's latest outburst that is.

"You were doing so good at just being quiet." I laughed and muttered an apology to Jayden but he just laughed it off to and pulled me closer into him. 

"I agree with her." He said extremely quietly into my ear. What did he mean by that? Did he think that just because we went on one date that we were now 'dating'? I definitely didn't know if I wanted to date Jayden I mean that would only end badly, Jayden and monogamy... I don't think they would get along very well. 

When the movie ended I got up and stretched my arms high into the air, and let out a satisfied groan. Nothing better then a good stretch. It was almost eleven o'clock and for some odd reason I was actually tired. The last time I was tired at eleven o'clock I was probably twelve years old. This was Friday night, a night usually reserved for getting drunk and having a good time and I was tired? Maybe it was from all the energy I used up being nervous before the date, which by the way was pointless, there was nothing to be nervous about. 

As I walked Jayden out I did start to feel that nervousness creep up inside of me again. I couldn't help but wonder if he was going to expect me to kiss him. Without a doubt I wanted to but at the same time I didn't want to make it that easy for him. One date wasn't enough to prove that he really had changed, although it did set the ground work. If I kissed him then he might expect to be able to mack on me all the time like other girls but I don't want things to be like that between us. No I was definitely not going to kiss him, if I did it this early it might ruin everything.

"Thanks again." I said with my head to the floor. Looking at him would only make not kissing him even harder. Man I hate how much I think about things sometimes. 

"Are you going to let me take you out again?"

His eyes were burning a hole in the top of my head, urging me to just look up at him. I had to fight it, don't do it I told myself, just don't look at him. Push him out the door or something, whatever you do don't kiss him! 

Then I felt his finger under my chin and he was making me look up at him. The slightest touch from him sent my nerves into over drive and my whole body tingled. His eyes were looking dead straight into mine like he was trying to make me nervous on purpose. Mission accomplished! I was extremely nervous.

"Delanie?" He said my name slowly as if he were saying it just to torture me or something. "Can I take you out again?" he was grinning because my face was the color of a tomato. How is it that I blush like a manic just from him saying my name? 

"Yeah sure." I said in a shaky voice. Was it just me or was he starting to move his face a little closer to mine? "I had a lot of fun."

"So did I." he was whispering but I heard it perfectly because his face was indeed a lot closer then it had been a few seconds ago. I had to react quickly, I knew if I didn't move he was going to kiss me and then there would be no going back. As soon as his lips touched mine I would be wrapping my hand around his neck pulling him closer to me and never letting go. I couldn't do that, not yet, not when everything was still so up in the air. 

I gripped onto the back of his neck and pulled his cheek down to my lips and gave him a light peck. The closeness between us was sending fireworks through my brain, heart and stomach. He was so close to me and all I had to do was pull back just a little bit and his lips would be too close to resist. 

"That's all you get." I whispered into his ear as confidently as I could.

Ha, I was a smart thinker. Now I could see if he really was such a gentleman, he could kiss me still or just say goodnight and accept the lame cheek kiss he had received. He smiled down at me when I pulled away from him and at first I thought he was still going to go for it. Instead he kissed me on my cheek too and whispered so softly in my ear that I barely heard him.

"You won't resist me for long." He smirked at me and left. Well at least we agreed on something...

***

Over the next two weeks I spent a considerable amount of time with Jayden just hanging out as friends, we still hadn't gone on another date but he kept bugging me about it. It was fun making him wait it out so I kept making excuses as to why I couldn't do anything. When I wasn't with Jayden I was listening to Amanda and Cali obsess over what costumes they wanted to wear to Jason's Halloween party. Don't get me wrong I was excited to have a reason to dress up, I was just sick of hearing about this costume and that costume. I mean honestly it shouldn't be so hard to pick something!

The day before the party the three of us had finally decided on what costumes we were wearing to the party. After hours upon hours of searching, trying on, debating, denying and so on we had all found a great costume. Amanda had a sexy pirate costume, with her blazing red hair she looked pretty convincing. Cali had been debating back and forth between a 'wild cat witch' (basically a skimpy leopard print dress with a witches hat) and a sexy nurse costume, eventually she decided that too many girls would have the nurse costume and chose the wild cat witch.

As for me, well, I think I might have gone the most over the top. As soon as I tried the naughty school girl outfit on Amanda and Cali both said there would be no comparison. I agreed. The red plaid mini skirt barely covered my ass and the black leather top made my boobs look huge. To top it off I had a loose red tie around my neck and fish net stockings with glittering black heels on my feet. I was sure most people would be pretty surprised when they saw me. 

"I am not going." I turned to run back into my house, but I found a set of nails digging into each of my arms. Cali and Amanda began dragging me to the taxi. We were all planning on getting pretty drunk, it was Halloween after all, so we were smart and took a taxi to the party. No drinking and driving for us. 

"Yes you are." Amanda said with one final tug that sent me sprawling into the back seat of the taxi.

"Please just let me go change, I can wear last year's costume!" 

I don't know why I had the sudden change of heart about my costume. Just minutes before I was feeling confident and sexy but as soon as I stepped outside I felt self conscious and whorish. There was nothing I would have loved more than to run inside dig out my sexy cop outfit from last year. At least half of my stomach wouldn't be showing if I had worn that! Of course, Cali and Amanda never would have allowed me to recycle my Halloween costume from last year, so ten minutes later we were pulling up as close as we could possibly get to the Breeze Estate. 

Which really wasn't very close at all. We had to walk double what we had to at the first party. There was double the cars parked all the way up Jason's long driveway. Did I mention this driveway is slightly inclined? Needless to say walking uphill in pumps is no easy task. By the time we reached the house my feet were already pleading me to remove the torture devices that were my shoes.

The house was completely packed just as I had expected. Everybody was wearing a costume. I saw several girls in lingerie and some form of animal ears on their heads, to say that these girls were the sluts of Selesity High would be an understatement. Other girls were dressed as fairies, princesses, sexy nurses, sexy cops, sexy soldiers... you get the gist of things? The guys had a wide variety of costumes going on. I saw a guy in a blow up penis costume, a kissing booth, a set of twins that I didn't know were dressed as Mario and Luigi, Stalker Ben was dressed as the Mad Hatter and I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I saw what Jason Breeze was wearing when he came to greet us.

"You look amazing." I said between my fits of laughter. He had taken on the identity of Pauly D from one of my favorite shows Jersey Shore. Jason had given himself a ridiculous blow out and fake tan. A huge chain hung around his neck making him look 'fresh to death'.

"I look amazing? No, I would have to say you three look amazing." Jason gave Cali a hug and kiss and whispered something in her ear that made her giggle uncontrollably. I love those two together. "Come on lets get you guys some drinks." 

We weaved through the crowds of people and finally emerged into the kitchen where an abundance of alcohol littered the table, the counters and, assuming the refrigerator was full, on top of the fridge as well. I reached for the first bottle of vodka I saw and snatched up three shot glasses and three red plastic cups. How cliche. 

As I poured the drinks I tried to keep an eye out for Jayden. He had this terrible habit of throwing me over his shoulder whenever he got the chance and I didn't want to flash half the party. As hot and confident as I looked in my school girl outfit I didn't want anybody to get a view of what was underneath. I lifted my shot glass into the air and tried to think of something to 'cheers' to when I felt somebody grab onto my waist and try dancing with me. At first I thought it was Jayden so I didn't push his hands off of me. Instead I turned around so I could say something witty but I was surprised to see who is was that was touching me. 

Josh Striker. 

Without a moments hesitation I threw my shot of vodka in his face and smacked him as hard as I could. How dare he even approach me, let alone touch me! That scum bag had no right to even breath the same air as me. He planned on having sex with me and then break up with me just like his piece of shit cousin did. I had so much rage held against him that he was lucky I didn't believe in fighting in other peoples houses, or I would have done a lot more than smack him. 

"What the fuck Josh, didn't I already have you kicked out?" Jason flashed me an apolegtic look while he tried to drag Josh away from us.

"Come on Jason, I just wanted to see my baby, Delanie don't you miss me?" I could tell by the tone in his voice that he was pretty drunk so I just held up my middle finger and turned away. 

"That fucking pig." I muttered while I poured myself another shot. "He is so lucky Jayden wasn't standing here with us." 

"Ha, if Jayden was standing with us Josh probably would have ran the other way and cried like a baby, he is so scared of him. Aren't you lucky, you got a big scary boyfriend now." Amanda teased me. 

"You know for a fact he isn't my boyfriend."

"Yet." Cali and Amanda said together. I rolled my eyes at them and took the vodka shot with ease. 

It was obvious that they wanted Jayden and me to be together. They said that I 'changed him', I however am not quite convinced. Although I never see him with any other girls, he is always hanging out with Cali, Jason, Amanda, Alex and I. I still don't know what it is he does when he isn't hanging out with us, for all I know he could be screwing several other girls behind my back. That's why I kept putting off our next date, I wanted to see how badly he really wanted me to go out with him. I knew that I was going to have to let him take me out again soon, he did deserve it. 

"Speak of the devil." I said when I spotted Jayden. He was wearing nothing but the sexiest boxer briefs and a white dress shirt that was unbuttoned revealing his flawless chest. God what I would give to just jump on him and... gosh I really shouldn't allow myself to think these things, one day I might actually act on it. 

He took his time coming over to us, pretending to talk to people and what not but really I could tell he was just taking his time so he could check me out. I watched as he slowly made his way over to us, his eyes barely left me. It made me feel so good about myself. Finally he reached us and I instantly held my hands out in front of me keeping him at a safe distance.

"Do you see this skirt I'm wearing?" I said to him warningly. He looked at me like I was crazy, of course he saw the skirt I was wearing, he was checking me out like crazy. "If you throw me over your shoulder, everyone is going to see my ass. I beg you, please, do not pick me up at any point tonight."

"I cant guarantee that." He said jokingly. 

"Okay I'll make this easy then, pick me up once tonight and you don't get your second date." I smirked at him, knowing that I had already won. 

"Fine." He shot back instantly, "Can I at least get a hug from you?" 

I nod my approval, and allow him to pull me into a tight two armed hug, his bare chest pressing against my cleavage. As usual, I inhale deeply and sigh at the scent of him. I hate how desperate I feel for his touch when he pulls away. I'm starting to think Jayden Breeze may have me wrapped around his finger. 

An hour and a half later the party was insane and everyone was having an amazing time. Between Cali, Amanda and I we drank probably a bottle and a half of Vodka and three beers each. We were dancing, singing, laughing and talking just having the time of our lives. My favorite part was dancing with Jayden. Some guy that I didn't know had come up behind me while I was dancing with my friends and grabbed hold of my waist. Not even ten seconds later I heard Jayden from behind me telling the guy to fuck off, and he grabbed onto my waist and started dancing with me. 

When four a.m rolled around our group was the last one's at the party. All of the other drunk high schoolers had managed to make their way home, at least I hope so. The few of us that remained were still drinking and dancing to the music that was blasting as it had been all night. I could see that everyone was getting tired but I wasn't even close. The alcohol had me wide awake and I was trying to force everyone to continue drinking with me so they would stay awake too.

After listening to several complaints of 'I'm tired' and 'I can't dance anymore' I decided that we would all go to my house. That way the walk there would keep them awake and who doesn't love a drunken adventure at four in the morning? Even though Amanda complained about wanting to fall asleep where she stood I wouldn't have it, I kept insisting that it would be fun and it was. I have several pictures on my digital camera to prove that it indeed was great fun.

No matter what anyone tells me about how much they hated me for making them walk to my house I can always show them the pictures and say 'Hey, do you see this? You had a freaking blast okay?' I took pictures of everyone. Amanda and Alex making out in a bus stop, Jason giving Cali a piggy back ride, Cali and Amanda striking a pose in the middle of the street, Jayden and myself pretending to tango... pictures say a thousand words. If I didn't say it was one of my favorite adventures ever, I would be lying.
