Odessa turned in front of the mirror to see her ass in those tiny hot pants. Although she could pull it off, she didn't like being dressed like this. Paige had picked out her outfit which was a pair of black hot pants that felt like they were crawling up into her ass combined with a black mini top that showed both her cleavage and her stomach. To the little outfit she wore a pair of long, black boots which was the only thing about the outfit that she liked. Also the only thing that was actually from her own wardrobe.

"I don't know," she said.
"Come on, Odessa, you look great. It brings out your inner slut," Paige said.
"Are you trying to whore me out, cousin?" Odessa laughed.

Paige got up from the bed and walked over to stand next to Odessa so they both looked in the mirror.

"I'm throwing this party for you. You're in my world now, cousin. I own this town. This is my house. Everyone that matters in this town will be there and there will be a lot of cute, single guys. You just gotta pick one," she smirked. "Or two if you're up for some extra fun."
"Paige!" Odessa looked shocked. "You might enjoy playing the slutty side but I'm not you."
"Every girl loves playing the slutty side," Paige laughed.
"I can still play that side without wearing a fucking bikini," Odessa said.
"Hey! Don't mock my clothes. You're wearing that or you're going naked," Paige grinned. "Now let's go be sluts together."

A couple of hours into the party and Odessa didn't feel like she could relax. Paige had said there would be a lot cute, single guys but she hadn't thought that almost everyone would take turns trying to get into her pants. She looked across the room and sent a plea of help with her eyes at Paige who was in a conversation with her friend Rosa.

"She's not biting on any of them. I thought for sure Drew or Finn would win her over," Rosa said.
"Just because she's got British genes doesn't mean she'll jump on anything with an accent coming from over sea. Just wait. She's always thought she's better than others. One of them will get through to her. If not, I'll start pouring vodka down her throat until she can't say no," Paige said.
"You've noticed she's only drinking soda, right?" Rosa asked.
"Yeah, I don't know what the fuck's up her ass tonight," Paige said.
"Those hot pants by the looks of it," Rosa giggled.
"Shut up!" Paige pushed her friend and laughed. "Oh wait. Seth's moving in. Come on, Seth, get your head in the game."

They watched as Seth casually made his way up next to Odessa by the bar and ordered a drink. Half a minute later a glass of cola was handed over to him. He took a sip and then turned to look at her.

"You look like you wanna get out of here as much as I do," he said.
"I do," she nodded.
"I'm Seth, by the way," he said.
"I'm Odessa," she said.
"Odessa? Paige's cousin?" He asked.

She nodded and smiled before taking a sip of her own glass of cola.

"But you don't got an accent. I thought you were British too," he said.
"Half. My mom's British, my dad's American," she said.
"But you were born in England, right?" He asked.
"I was but we moved here when I was 10," she answered.
"So you adopted our accent?" He asked.
"I always talked like this. I'm a daddy's girl," she answered.

Across the room Paige was smiling.

"That's it, Seth. Go get her," she said.

Seth emptied his glass and Odessa did the same with her glass.

"Not drinking alcohol?" He asked.
"I could ask you the same," she said.
"Not tonight," he said.
"Same here," she said.
"Do you wanna go outside and get away from all the noise in here?" He asked.
"What's in the garden?" She asked.
"Grass, I assume. Maybe a tree if we're lucky," he answered.

She let out a laugh and shook her head.

"Yeah, I'll go outside with you for a little bit. I could use some air and regain my ability to hear," she said.
"Music's fucking loud and they don't even play anything good," he said.
"I know. What ever happened to metal?" She asked.
"Metal? Girl, I'm officially in love with you now," he laughed.

Paige and Rosa watched as Seth and Odessa walked outside together.

"Always count on Seth," Rosa giggled.
"Wait with the celebration. There's still time for him to mess it up," Paige said.
"You wanna go spy on them?" Rosa asked.
"No, let them have some time alone. I trust Seth to bring it home," Paige answered.

She looked around and her eyes landed on Dolph.

"Meanwhile I'm gonna go scratch my own itch," she winked at Rosa.

When Paige returned an hour later from the bathroom with Dolph, there was still no sign of Odessa and Seth. She fixed her pants and walked back to Rosa.

"How was it?" Rosa asked.
"Hot as always. Dolph got a tongue like a lizard," Paige looked around. "They're still outside?"
"Yep, haven't seen them yet," Rosa answered.
"Way to go, Seth," Paige grinned. "Let's go check on them."

Seth and Odessa had lost track of time while they had been out in the garden. Nothing had been going on. They had just talked about what they liked and disliked, getting to know each other a bit.

"Seriously, these hot pants keep crawling so far up my crack that I can taste them," she complained.
"I can help with that," he smirked.
"Nice try," she hit his chest with her palm. "I'm not down for fucking you in the garden."
"How about my apartment in a week's time?" He chuckled.
"You're so full of yourself," she laughed. "But I'll bite. Why a week?"

He placed his hands on her waist and gently pulled her close. He leaned down and his lips landed on hers, prying them apart and kissing her softly. Their tongues played together, testing each other it almost seemed, while they both struggled not to go crazy on each other. He broke the kiss and smiled at her.

"Let me take you out on a date tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 10 and we can go to the zoo. If the dates goes well, which of course it will, I'll take you out all week. Around a week from now, give or take a couple of days depending on what you're comfortable with, you'll be ready to go home with me," he said.

She couldn't help but laugh at his honesty. She opened her mouth to answer but she never got that far.

"Are you two screwing out here?" Paige laughed.
"No, just talking," Odessa said.
"Talking, right. Because Seth talks a lot," Paige grinned.
"This time I do," Seth winked. "But I'll head back inside and leave you girls to it."

He started walking away and Odessa looked at his back.

"Hey Seth!" She called.
"Yeah?" He stopped and turned around.
"See you tomorrow," she said.
"See you," he smiled widely.

He turned around again and walked back inside. Paige had one huge grin on her face as she looked at her cousin.

"Tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow?" She asked.
"He's taking me to the zoo," Odessa answered.
"Getting laid between the tigers?" Rosa giggled.
"Okay, that one didn't even make sense to me," Paige looked at her friend.
"Sorry," Rosa looked down.
"No one's getting laid tomorrow," Odessa laughed. "Ask me again in a week."
"A week?" Paige asked.
"Maybe," Odessa answered. "I'm gonna go inside and pee and then I'm gonna go home if that's alright with you."
"Of course," Paige said.

Odessa walked inside while Paige and Rosa stayed out in the garden. The second Odessa was out of sight, Paige grinned at Rosa.

"She took the bait," Paige said.
"Now what?" Rosa asked.
"Now we let Seth do what Seth does best. Give them a month for her to really fall in love with him before moving on with the games," Paige answered.
"And Seth? Do you think he can stand it that long?" Rosa asked.
"Please! He's gonna get free pussy everyday. No man turns that down," Paige answered.
"You're so mean," Rosa laughed.
"Trust me, the bitch fucking deserves it," Paige said.
