Chapter 1: prologue
Never in my entire life did I expect to see this sight. My brother and his girlfriend, now wife, were going at it, on my bed. Now, I love my brother with all my heart, but this is just wrong on so many levels.
I had planned on breaking it up, but then again. My brother was leaving for Alaska in a couple days. So, being the nice sister I was, I let them go at it while I simply walked next door to visit my best friend June.
June just had a baby, a little boy named Justin; he was a tiny little thing, and the light of his father's eyes. I walked the some 20 feet to their front door and knocked before letting myself in. I was greeted by a hyper May, who had just graduated from high school.
It was a tight nit family, June was the guardian of her three younger sisters: May, April, and Ember (short for September). Yes, weird names, but they were named after the months that they were born in. Well except the 4 older siblings, two sets of twins: Jade, Lucy and Mark and Colin. They all lived in the same house, and it was a sight at peek hours.
I smiled as I hugged May and I walked into the kitchen and saw Lucy and Jade sitting at the table. They glanced up and smiled.
"Oh good you're here, we have a favor to ask of you." They spoke in unison. I grabbed a piece of toast that was left out and bit into it while nodding for them to continue.
"Ok, first we would like to say that we know how you feel about clubs and before you say anything let us ask first." Jade spoke. I knew where this was going, and didn't like it at all.
"We are going to the new club on 5th, and well we would like you to come. Please, you are always sad and depressed. Please come with us and have fun." Lucy finished.
I looked at this with a frown on my face.
"Look, I am sorry, I can't I wish I could…"
"Wish you could what?" Colin walked into the room.
"She wishes she could go with us to that new club downtown. But she won't" May finally spoke up.
"Look, I am sorry, but last time was horrid." I tried to get out of it, but knowing them they would want me to go, and I couldn't say no to them when they have their sad faces on.
"But that was last time. You don't even have to do anything, just sit and drink water or something.
It was a few moments before I finally gave into their pleas and they were happy, the all but dragged me upstairs to pick out something to wear.
*Some time later*
I was bored, no wait, I was half asleep. I was talked into getting my hair done by the girls. And that what was going on now. I am simply what you would call a plain jane, well at least in my mind. I was about 5 feet 4 inches with long straight black hair, I was daring one day and decided to add a little bit of color so I dyed my bangs electric blue and loved it. Now my hair has bits of pink, green, blue, and purple in it. I had a heart shaped face and pale green eyes.
I had a figure, it was slim and toned. A light tan covered my skin.
"Ok look!" The turned me around to face the mirror. And I can't believe it. I actually looked good. I was dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans with a grey top. It didn't show much, but it left room to let any guys mind wander.
They pulled out a pair of charcoal grey wedges and told me to put them on. I of course did and I was 4 inches taller.
And, I did what I thought I would never do again. I smiled. For once, a real smile. And that itself scared me.
"Oh, look at the time. Its already ten." Were they serious, it took 5 hours to get me ready? I walked behind them, being careful on the stairs seeing that I didn't want to break my neck walking down them.
"Don't you look beautiful," Jonathan, June's husband held the door open for Jade and Lucy to walk through. "Don't turn every guy down at the club, not all of them are like Chris."
He smiled and pushed me out. I thought about taking the heels off and running to my house, but decided that Jonathan was right, not all of them were like Chris.
*At the Club*
After 15 minutes of driving, and 10 minutes of waiting. We were in the club, it was packed and the air was thick with moisture.
I had this feeling that tonight was going to be bad, but I pushed it away and quickly walked to the bar.
Ordering two vodka shots, I downed them down before the bartender had a chance to turn around.
I coughed a bit and ordered another two.
"Whoa, slow down tiger, your gonna be shit faced in a matter of minutes if you keep that up." I turned towards the voice. He was standing off to the side of me, his black button up shirt was loose but it still hugged the well defined muscles he had. I looked into his eyes, piercing blue, I could feel myself being pulled in by some unnatural force, but I broke up it as the bartender set the shots in front of me.
Smiling, I gave one to the guy. "Then drink with me, we will get shit faced together."
It must have been the vodka in me, because I would have never done such a thing. But to hell with being sober, right now I wanted to be drunk, and to hell with Chris, I'm having fun.
"That wont be a problem, I've already had a few already." He took the shot and tipped it down. Wincing as the liquid poured into his stomach. I smirked and did the same. My eyes never leaving his.
"John" He was closer to me, his breath on my ear.
"Kyla" He smiled and ordered a couple rounds of Jack.
*~*
By now it was 1am and I was sitting at his table. There were only a few other people at this specific table, the rest of his friends had either went home to sleep, or get laid.
I leaned my head against his chest, and sat back against the booth.
"John…" My speech was slurred. "Why do guys cheat?"
I could feel his hand on my waist his thumb drawing circles on the exposed skin.
"Kyla…that I do not know, but if someone cheated on you, that person is an idiot."
I looked up and was met with blue eyes. He leaned down, lips brushing against my own.
"Kyla…woahh…um sorry, well…were going home. I see that you are all set, you have fun. Bye!" Jade and Lucy quickly left, while giggling.
"Shit, my ride just left." I mumbled while trying to move away. I couldn't, however, John's hands were wrapped around my waist.
"I believe we were in the middle of something." I could feel the heat rising in my face, and sat back down.
He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I could take the vodka on his lips and I reached up to grab the back of his neck. Pulling him in I deepened the kiss.
Finally breaking apart he looked me in the eyes, blue meets green.
"Wanna get out of here?"
