King's Cup
A few hours ago I came home from the interview for the externship I was chosen for that was a necessary step towards getting my degree and graduating. I was going to be paired with a mentor and trained in the field as well as around the station. I promised myself I would stay home with my Ben & Jerry's and watch Netflix tonight until I fell asleep in a pool of my own tears but Lissa texted me until she guilt tripped me into going out. A half hour later she was knocking down my door. As soon as she was in the door she was fussing with my hair and makeup demanding I put on my sleaziest dress and heels because our mission tonight was forgetting Adrian Ivashkov. I sighed and tried not to think about the lame way he broke up with my by text message after spending the night with some other broad. Thankfully we left after twenty brutal minutes of lissa talking about some dreamy catholic guy that invited her to this party out on the edge of town. whatever. I hoped they had coffee or whiskey there or else I may have to ditch lissa and go back to my Netflix and chill with my teddy bear and ramen noodles. We pulled up to the enormous house sitting surrounded by forest on a private drive, there were many expensive cars along the side of the mile long drive way. Lissa took my arm and dragged me around the side of the house to the back yard where the music was coming from. It was unseasonably warm so there was a bonfire out behind the house and the yard and house was packed with strangers. Lissa squealed and dragged me over to the bar where a dreamy guy was pouring drinks and as he looked up he recognized my best friend.
" Lissa dear! How are you I see you made it and who's your friend here?" the man came around the bar and gave her a close hug and turned to me. I held out my hand he laughed quietly and shook his head taking my hand and giving it a firm shake.
" Christian this is Rose she's my best friend" this must be the "catholic" I thought she was talking about. Christian.
" Hey it's nice to meet you thanks for having us this is a lovely house" I said in attempts to seem friendly after my unenthusiastic first encounter if these were lissa's friends I didn't want to seem uptight.
"Well thanks I think so too but it's not my house it belongs my buddy Dimitri you'll meet him when he comes outside." Christian said.
" He's hard to miss 8 foot tall drunk Russian cleaning up after everyone and being a hardass" a tall equally good looking man butted in
" That's Ivan, He lives here too and yeah you will figure out who Dimitri is he's probably inside" Ivan took our drink orders and came back with Mikes' Hard Lemonade for Lissa and I. I wanted a jack and coke but I've never met these people before so I want to make a good impression, we started slow. we stayed close to the house for a little while mingling and dancing and flirting with a few people and getting a few shots. Thoroughly buzzed Lissa and I made our way around the back yard and saw a few people I recognized from campus and around town but we settled in at a picnic table with Christian and Ivan and a few others when a deck of cards were brought out with a piece of paper that said "the rules" on it. People had filtered out after several hours of drunken mingling and dancing. Lissa insisted we were to sober to go home so we switched to mixed drinks.
"who's ever played King's Cup? let's get drunk" a crowd of people gathered as Ivan set out the cards around a can of beer. He explained that you draw a card and read the instructions that pertain to the number on your card. Sometimes you took a sip of your drink sometimes you made everyone drink. After about an hour had gone by Ivan was officially the King and the rest of us still upright were sloshed and cold. We made our way inside through a spotless kitchen with a full arraignment of alcohol and other snacks. Lissa and Christian found a place inside the large living room to sit for a while and chat about god knows what she was drunk and clingy and I needed a snack. I mouthed "be right back" to lissa and made my way back into the kitchen to find some chips and a brownie I grabbed another drink and headed back to the couch where lissa and Christian were no where to be found. Awesome. I lost my best friend at a party where I know two people. I finished the small plate of food and set off to find the two lovebirds but checking room after room. I found them in the all season room sitting near Christian and a few others playing beer pong. I felt like I was at a college frat party there was a mess all over the house and everyone was drunk. I sat next to lissa who hugged me and squealed while she took another sip. Next thing I know we are dancing again and Lissa is practically a puppet to poor Christian who keeps holding her small frame up so she doesn't fall over. Normally I would have Adrian to dance with, my heart hurt a little bit and I tried not to think about this sudden break up.
"Hey Sexy" I heard over my shoulder and turned to see Ivan leaning on a very tall, very handsome man who was clutching a large half empty bottle of top shelf vodka. Ivan reached for me " Want to dance, you got some moves I see" I swatted his hands and wanted to walk away as he took a step closer and gave me puppy dog eyes.
" No Ivan but I know that girl there would love to dance her name is Mia she is in my class, single too. Go ask" I said. He grabbed the bottle from the tall guy and took a huge swig of it without flinching handed the bottle back and sauntered over to poor Mia who shot me a dirty look as Ivan Grabbed her arm and pulled her on the dance floor laughing.
"Not many girls say no to Ivan I think that's the first time I've ever seen it. My name is Dimitri welcome to my house I didn't get a chance to say hello earlier." He had a velvety European voice and looking up I had to force my mouth shut because he was sexy! He was in dark jeans and a white tee-shirt that hugged his biceps and chest wonderfully. " Do you have a name or should I call you Sexy as Ivan does?"
" No. Rose. Ivan is a ladies man huh? too bad he's not my type, sorry. I'm looking for my girlfriend Lissa, pretty blonde." Dimitri frowned when I said girlfriend and I quickly understood why. " No she's not my girlfriend. she's like a sister. my friend. were not romantic" I shut up why was I even mentioning it so what if he thought I was a lesbian that's cool too. Dimitri Laughed and pointed to the dance floor
"Am I more your type of dance partner?" I finished my drink and took my hand and we found a dark spot near the others but with a little privacy behind the garage where there were less people. Except for Ivan running around in Boxers and mia chasing him with pants telling him to get dressed. He was chugging a beer as he ran and there was no stopping the " Ivan Express" as he was shouting. I chuckled and stepped closer to Dimitri as we danced I had goose bumps and a shiver went down my spine as his arms wrapped around me and I was in close proximity to his whole body. I noticed he was still holding something and turned around in his arms. He let out a small gasp as I pressed my hips against him and grabbed his hand guiding the bottle up to my lips and taking a huge sip. I choked down the massive sip of rocket fuel I had just chugged and tried to catch my breath. Dimitri chuckled and took an equally awful sip " Still not you're type Roza" He asked in my ear his mouth close to my ear and his hand on my waist as I pressed into him further.
"You're perfect I just want you to hurry up and put that bottle down and dance with me want more help?" I dared. what the hell he's hot lets have some fun. I swear I heard him moan as he dropped the bottle on a nearby table and grabbed ahold of my hips and pressed himself close against my body feeling under my shirt and on my thigh as we danced. Somehow we ended up against the garage my back against the wall his body holding me there. My hands in his beautifully soft hair his hand on the small of my back and one rubbing my leg and the edge of my dress as we were hands went under the hem of his shirt and he hissed as his muscled abdomen tensed I looked up at him he said
"What happens here stays here Roza" I giggled at his serious expression as his hands were slowly sliding closer to my back side holding me tight. I kissed him again to shut him up and nodded as he pulled me down a small hallway I hadn't noticed earlier and into a huge room. It was clean and there was a bed and a couch and I panicked and hoped he didn't want to have sex right now I didn't want to think about that. He pulled me over to the oversized leather sofa I was relieved that he didn't pick the bed but he was back on me instantly after he turned on Netflix. I laughed out loud and he looked shocked
" I told myself to stay home and watch Netflix tonight. here I am not watching Netflix with you." after that things got very hot and heavy and I was really hoping I was never going to see this guy again because I was not giving myself a proper name right now...
