Ding dong! The loud doorbell rung. Today was the last day of school and it's been three days since I went to Mike's party. Thankfully, Josh hasn't contacted me in anyway, which made me relieved. Although he had a very handsome face and fantastic bone structure, he frightened me. I guess any guy in a gang would, but there's something different about Josh. He'd more mysterious in a way that makes me interested in knowing more about him. I don't know if I'm ready for that just yet, though.
I realized I've been thinking about Josh for the past ten minutes so much that I forgot to get the door. I'm sure my mother got it, though, because I could hear talking downstairs. I slowly tip-toed to the stairs and peeked through the doorway. A low sigh escaped my mouth. Of course, it was Josh.
"So, are you here for Lily? I think she's up. You can go check if you like. Oh, and have a pancake before you go," my mother smiled handing Josh a plate with two of her famous breakfast for dinner pancakes.
"Wow, these are amazing Mrs. Jones," Josh complimented devouring the pancakes in just a few bites. My mom smiled and gestured for him to go upstairs. I ran quietly to my room and shut the door. I jumped onto my bed and pulled out my computer, trying to act natural. In a matter of seconds, Josh entered the room.
"Good morning, beautiful," he sat next to me on the bed. I uncomfortably shifted over, bringing my laptop with me.
"What are you doing here?" I rudely asked.
"Taking you to dinner, as I promised," he responded.
"You weren't kidding?" I asked.
"No I wasn't. Now let me pick something out for you," Josh stood up and ran towards my closet. He sifted through my clothes and picked out just what I expected him to. It was a hot pink strapless dress that now probably ended right at my ass.
"I don't know if that fits me anymore."
"Oh it will fit, alright," Josh threw the dress at me.
"Okay, get out," I pushed him through the door.
"Aw, why can't I stay?" he gave me the puppy dog face. I slammed the door and slid through the dress, putting the proper undergarments on and applying mascara and eye liner. I also wore black, open toed pumps. I brushed through my long, curly blond hair and took a look in the mirror. Not bad, I thought. When I opened the door, Josh eyed me up and down.
"You clean up nice, baby," he wrapped his arms around my waist. I instantly backed up, nearly tripping over my straightening iron.
"We haven't even been on one date yet!" I yelled at him in a calm tone. I went down the tiny amount of stairs as Josh followed.
"Be back later, mom," I informed her walking out of the house. She smiled, probably at the fact that I was having my second date, because it's been four years since my last. When my father died, I basically blocked everyone out for almost a year. I have no clue where the guy, his name was Jake, went. Josh opened the door of his black range rover for me. "Thank you," I gave him a weak smile.
The car ride was awkward and long, and I didn't know if it was ever going to end. Every time I thought we arrived at our destination, I was wrong. "Where are we going? We are miles from town and we have been driving for like, an hour! Are we almost there?" I questioned.
"Calm down. We're here," Josh said pulling into the parking lot. Reading the sign that was hanging on the building, it read "Chaos Club".
"Josh please tell me you didn't bring me to a club," I said.
"I bought you to a club. Now let's go," Josh climbed out of his seat and helped me out of mine, holding a tight grip on my hands. "My friends work here, so they'll let us right in. You can have any drink you want," he said.
"I don't drink," I answered.
"Fine, but you'll be missing out," Josh said. I ignored him and kept walking with my head up. "If anyone tries to get too close, call me. I know these people and they will make a move on anyone with tits," he laughed. I nodded and entered the club, and Josh was right, they allowed us in with no problem. We didn't even have to pay! "Do you want to dance?" Josh asked with a smirk.
"I don't dance," I told him.
"It will be fun. You and I on the dance floor," Josh took my hand and led me to the floor. "Together and close," he pulled me as close to him as possible. I could feel my breathing increase as I looked up at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he instructed me to, his hands around my waist. At this point, I don't even know if I was breathing. Josh's hazel orbs stared at my blue ones.. "You have very pretty eyes," he smiled. His smile grew when he saw I was still wearing the side cross bracelet.
"Thank you, so do you," I replied. It took every ounce of me not to kiss him, because he looked so good in his green plaid shirt and jeans. Although I tried hard not to, Josh didn't. His lips crashed into mine, shocking me. His tongue explored my mouth and his soft lips bought me comfort. It was a sweet kiss, one that I did not know he was capable of. I pulled away for air and stared at the ground smiling with hot, red cheeks.
"Don't be embarrassed, baby," Josh caressed my cheek. I stared in his eyes and could tell he was sincere. I knew that this was not one of his acts to get a girl in bed with him. He genuinely liked me.
And I couldn't help but like him back.
It was getting late, nearly 10:30. My mother thinks I'm sleeping over Bailey's, so it's fine. I was quenched, and unfortunately all they had was alcohol. "I'm thirsty," I told Josh, getting a hold of his hand.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Um, I'll have a vodka please," I said. I nearly gulped the thing down in seconds.
"Wow. Have another," Josh said handing me another. I had about four and I was already feeling drunk.
"Joshua baby, come here," I said. My vision was blurry and I was seeing stars.
"What's up?" He asked sitting down next to me at the bar, sipping his beer.
"Nothing. I just really really really like you," I smirked sitting on his lap.
"Well you're really really really drunk," he laughed walking me to the bathroom. He cupped some water in his hands and forced me to sip it. I did and was already acting more sober.
"Josh can we go home? I don't feel good," I said sitting down on the sink. I immediately ran to the first stall and vomited, flushing it down the toilet. It was mostly a clear liquid, so thankfully most of the stuff was out of my system.
"Come on," Josh washed my hands and around my mouth and bought me to the back to the main entrance.
That's when I saw him. A guy who was staring at me all night. It was Jake. Jake, the one I tuned out for over a year. He approached Josh and I.
"Hey, long time no see," he said stepping close to me. I instinctively moved closer into Josh, my grip on his hand tightening. "Oh what's wrong now? Afraid I'm going to hurt you again?"
"Who are you?" Josh questioned firmly.
"Jake, her ex. She ditched me four years ago after her stupid father died and didn't even call me, so I went to her house and I beat that bitch up," Jake admitted as if he should get an award. I felt tears fall down my face and sobbed in the crook of Josh's neck.
"You think that's fucking okay? To hit a girl?" Josh was getting angry and he took a step towards Jake." Her father was murdered and you have the nerve to say that you bastard?"
"Aye, what can I say? She was terrible to me. That little bitch did nothing for me anyways, just a warning," Jake said. I burst into tears, not knowing where to go. I ran to Josh.
"Josh can we please go home?" I pleaded.
"After I beat the living hell out of this fucker," he said throwing the first punch. Jake punched him right back in the face, already leaving a huge bruise.
"JOSH!" I screeched running towards him.
"Go!" he said kicking Jake's ankle, causing him to collapse to the floor.
"No!" I screamed. Something pulled onto my arms and held me back as I watched Josh get punched and kicked, screaming for him.
Minutes that seemed like hours later, the fight was dying down and there was a huge crowd, josh on his knees repeatedly punching Jake in the face. I could see blood flowing from Jake's head. This was bad. The owner, Josh's friend Heather, ran through the crowd and separated the two, an ambulance already picking Jake up on a gurney. The person holding me back apologized and let me go. I sprinted towards Josh and embraced him tightly.
"Are you hurt!?" I frantically searched for any injuries. When I caressed his cheek, he flinched. "Josh," I sighed feeling his abdomen area, where he flinched once again. "You need to go to a hospital!"
"I'm fine, Lily. Let me take you home," he said.
"No, I'm staying with you!"
"Lily baby, I'm sorry for everything. I just couldn't imagine the thought of him hurting you. I wouldn't let that happen to you," he apologized.
"I know, Josh. Let's go home please," I begged wrapping my arms around him tighter.
"Where's home?" he asked curiously.
"Where ever you are," I answered with tears falling from my eyes.
"Does that mean you're mine now?"
"Yes, forever and always," I smiled as Josh wiped a few stray tears from my face with the pad of his thumb.
