Again, I am warning all of you that these 'new' chapters are going to quickly replace the old ones and if you want to be able to compare them, you would be wise to copy and paste the remaining, unchanged content to a word document ASAP! Please keep in mind that these 'new' chapters are going to be the building blocks for the rest of the story. What this means is that I won't be submitting Chapters 13 and up until I have fine-tuned the rest of the story first. This gives you all the chance to read more of my work without my actually having to write an entirely new chapter. I REALLY don't have the time to do that yet because I've got classes and homework and all the other fun things that are part of being a full-time college student. So for now, all I can give you is a few more details and scenes for the already existing chapters seeing as how that's all I can fit into my busy schedule at this time.
Chapter 1: The Party
The girls arrived at Andrew's party around eight that night. Andrew barely even noticed that they had arrived; which suited Serena and Mina just fine. If he had been the one to answer the door instead of the tall blond guy with icy blue eyes, he would have immediately sent the girls home to change their clothes. Mina was wearing a low cut gold top. There was a heart shaped ring in the center of her chest that kept the top and bottom halves of the silky shirt together and the only thing keeping it up were the thin ribbon-like straps around her shoulders. Her black skirt hugged her curves and there were slits at the sides that came almost up to her hip. She wore a pair of sexy strapped, shiny gold high heels. Serena had chosen a silver halter top with a very low back. She wore a black skirt like Mina's. On her feet were simple black high heels. Her light blond hair fell loosely past her shoulders.
"Welcome to the party ladies!" the blond guy said, smiling at the two young women standing in the entrance to his friend's apartment. Somehow the girls looked familiar. Perhaps Darien had 'dated' one of them.
"Jed?" Serena asked.
He looked at the prettier blonde in the silver halter warily. "Do I know you from somewhere?" He hoped that he hadn't 'dated' this girl in the past. If he had, then he was in trouble for one; forgetting this girl's name, and two; for even talking to her. If his girlfriend Reianna ever found out, his balls would be black and blue by the end of the night; and not in the fun way either.
"Jared, it's me, Serena!"
Jed was thoughtful for a minute. Where had he heard that name before?
"Serena, Serena Tsukino. You know, your sister Amy's best friend since kindergarten. I used to come over all the time…"
Jed smacked his forehead. Duh, that's why these girls were so familiar. "Sorry Serena, I didn't recognize you. And you're Mina, right." Mina nodded. "Wow, you girls sure grew up since the last time I saw you. If I'd known that you two had turned into bona fide hotties I would have left L.A. sooner!"
Mina smirked. "Well, you certainly haven't changed a bit, Jed. I guess Rei hasn't been able to squash that Casanova part of you yet."
"Are you disappointed that I'm already taken, baby?" he teased.
"I think I'll be able to move on with my life."
"What about you, Sere. Aren't you even a little sad that Rei got me first?"
Serena giggled. "Well, I did have a crush on you when I was growing up, but like Mina, I will survive."
Mina impatiently tapped her foot against the floor. "Ahem," she cleared her throat. "Look, as touching as this little reunion is, I really want to get to the party part of the evening; NOW." Jared nodded. "Yes, of course, but first I'm afraid I have to check the guest list."
"WHAT? But you already know who we are!"
"Sorry ladies, but I am under strict orders from Andrew and the guy who lives here not to let anyone in unless their names are on the list."
"You have GOT to be kidding me!" Mina sighed in frustration as Jed fumbled with a long list and pulled out a pen from the breast pocket of his black blazer. "Now, state your names again please."
"Mina AINO, Andrew's SISTER. Come ON Jed, you know who we are; let us pass already. What are you, the bouncer?"
"Yeah, come on Jed." Serena purred, using the same tone she used with the club bouncers when they wouldn't let her and Mina pass all those times. For some reason, the bouncers never believed that the driver's license IDs they held were real and that she and Mina really WERE almost twenty.
Mina quickly caught on to what Serena was doing and joined in on the act. "Yeah, come on. You know Andrew won't mind if you let US pass without the security check."
Jed sighed and placed the list back into his pocket. "Alright, I give up. Go join the party, but if anyone asks…"
"We'll tell them you gave us a hard time with the security check!" Mina finished, grabbing Serena's arm and leading her toward the living room.
"Thanks Jed, we owe you one!" Serena winked and blew a kiss toward him flirtatiously before disappearing into the crowd of party guests.
Jared watched the blond goddesses disappear, not realizing that somebody else was watching him. He soon figured it out when a smaller hand hit him upside the back of his head.
"OW!" he cried out in surprise. He turned around to see the angry violet eyes of his dark haired girlfriend. "I KNEW I shouldn't have allowed you to stand here by the door and greet the guests! I can't seem to leave you alone for two seconds without you flirting with some pretty girl!" She folded her arms across her chest and glared.
"Come on Rei, don't be mad. It was completely innocent and THEY started it. Besides, you know I would never cheat on you."
"Damn straight! You know I'd shoot your dick off if you ever did."
"You know, I kinda like it when you get so possessive over me...how about we take a little break from the party and go somewhere more…private." Jed suggested as he pulled his raven haired temptress closer to him.
Rei giggled. "Well, as tempting as it is, I HAVE to find Darien before we leave. I have to warn him before he finds out from somebody else..."
"Come on, you can find him later…say, in forty five minutes? You KNOW you want to." Jed said before pressing his lips to her throat.
"What about what Darien said? You're supposed to be watching for party crashers, remember?" Rei gasped, shivering as Jared's tongue found the sensitive spot below her earlobe.
"Be logical about this Rei, crashers don't show up before ten; it's like a rule or something. Jared pulled his cell phone from his pocket and looked at the tiny digital clock. And you and I have...almost two hours to kill until then."
"Are you sure Darien won't mind us leaving; especially when we promised we'd watch out for you-know-who?" Rei asked as Jared placed his hand on her lower back and led her away from the party and toward the very roomy and inviting hall closet. 'Darien really needs to install a lock on the door if he doesn't want people to 'play' in here.' Jared smiled.
"Trust me; he won't even know we left. We'll just come out in an hour or so, after I've elicited every sexy sound of immense pleasure from that hot little mouth of yours."
"Ooh, you promise?" Rei purred as Jared opened the door.
"You can pretty much count on it, baby!"
"Perfect timing; I knew that idiot and his girlfriend couldn't possibly guard the door forever." Twenty three year old Beryl Storms led the small entourage of young women into the penthouse; each of them dressed to kill in sexy stilettos that matched their dresses and Louis Vuitton handbags.
"It was almost too easy to get into this party B, like REALLY easy." A girl with white-blonde hair and eyes that nearly matched the ice-blue shade of her dress exclaimed.
The red haired girl Beryl nodded in agreement. "I know; the security in this place is so incredibly pathetic! Anyone off the street could invite themselves to the party and nobody would even notice."
"But you're not just ANYONE, B. I can't believe the nerve of him to not invite you tonight!" A girl with gold-blonde curls and amber colored eyes said. She wore a black spaghetti strap mini dress with gold accents around the bodice and the hemline of the skirt.
Beryl shrugged her bare shoulders indifferently. "Whatever, it doesn't matter that he didn't invite me. I'm here now aren't I; and now the party can REALLY begin!"
"Now remember Sere, once I spot Kevin…"
Serena rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I'll make myself scarce. Honestly, Mina, if you didn't want me to be around you tonight then why the hell did you force me to tag along?"
"We've been over this a hundred times Serena; you're here to have a good time."
"Right, because watching a bunch of couples kissing at midnight sounds SO entertaining."
"Relax, not everybody at the party is looking to start the year off with someone special. I'm sure you'll find plenty of guys who would rather just screw you once and never call you again."
"Hahahaha, that's so funny that I forgot to laugh." Serena said dryly.
"Wow, you're in a GREAT mood tonight Serena! Your enthusiasm is so contagious!"
"Well, can you really blame me, Mina? You dragged me to this party and now you're telling me that the second you spot YOUR crush, I have to somehow make myself scarce. What the hell am I supposed to do for the next five hours while you work at getting that New Year's kiss from Kevin?"
"Well, you could try to find your OWN guy to kiss tonight instead of complaining to me about how you don't want to be here."
"Right, like I'll be able to find my so called 'soul mate' right here in this room tonight. Dream on, Mina; it's never going to happen for me."
Serena spotted the expensive black leather sofa and flopped down into its softness. Whoever the guy was that owned this place, he sure had good taste. Serena couldn't believe that a guy's apartment could be so clean; or so aesthetically pleasing. The main floor, where the party was currently being held, had expensive dark hardwood flooring at the entrance and in the kitchen; which was partitioned with a half wall. The rest of the floor was covered in plush carpet in a nice wine color; which was a smart choice for someone who currently had over two hundred people, still wearing their street shoes, in his living room. To the right of the kitchen and refreshments area was a plush carpeted staircase leading to the second floor. Serena noticed the black and silver streamers that had been pulled across the entrance to the stairs to no doubt prevent people from going up there. To the left of the living room was the entranceway, the bathroom with a VERY long lineup and a hall closet that curiously had a lot of muffled noises coming from inside it. Well, it WAS a party; perhaps some amorous couple was in there making use of the space.
"It's a nice place, isn't it?" Mina commented, flopping down on the couch next to Serena.
"Any idea who the owner is?"
Mina shrugged. "Dunno, Andrew just said he was borrowing a friend's place and to go to this address. It's pretty nice, for a guy's place anyway."
"Yeah, his girlfriend must have good taste to be able to decorate like this."
"Andrew didn't mention whether a girl lives here too; you don't think that a guy could have decorating skills?"
"Not if he's straight."
Mina chuckled. "I don't know about that Sere. I'll let you know if your theory pans out after I've seen Kevin's apartment." Her eyes lit up and her painted red lips curved into a huge grin. "And speaking of Kevin, here he is!" She waved to a lean but toned guy with white-blond shoulder length hair and grey-blue eyes. He was wearing a grey blazer and had the top three buttons of his black shirt undone; and damn, Mina wasn't kidding when she said he was hot. "Kevin! Hi!" Mina called out to him, motioning for Kevin to join her on the couch.
'And that's my cue to leave.' Serena immediately rose from the very comfortable couch and made her way to the refreshments table. She cut across the dance floor, disappearing into the crowd; she was unaware that someone had been watching her moments earlier with interest.
Darien couldn't believe his luck; the gorgeous blonde from the club was here, in his apartment. He spotted her perching on his couch; she was talking to another blonde girl who looked like she could be her sister. 'Now THAT'S what I call a lucky night! Two hot sisters, one of which happens to be the girl I've been checking out for months! Maybe the fates aren't so cruel after all.' He caught the object of his desire checking out his penthouse; approval was written all over her gorgeous face. 'Oh yeah, baby, if you like what I did with the main floor, wait till you see my bedroom.' Darien was about to approach them and introduce himself when he felt someone tap him on the arm. He turned to glare at the person who had momentarily distracted him from his prey and Andrew smiled back at him.
"Hey, Dare! Thanks again for letting me use your place; I can't believe how many people showed up this time!"
"Never again, Drew. Never again will I agree to help you host a party. Do you see how many people are here? Over TWO HUNDRED! A hundred people's too many; and it looks like everybody on campus might show up!"
"Relax, Dare! I've got everything under control; I've handled parties bigger than this one before. Why don't you go mingle; find a nice girl to dance with."
Darien rolled his eyes. Sometimes Andrew could be so very dense. "Actually, I was just about to do that; but SOMEBODY distracted me! You see that hot little blonde thing on my couch? That's the girl I was telling you about earlier; the one I've been eyeing at the club for months! I was just about to ask her to dance…and maybe more, when you showed up!"
Andrew glanced over in that direction and frowned. "Hey, I'd watch what you say about my little sister if I were you, Mr. Casanova!"
"What are you talking about Andrew?"
"That 'hot little blonde thing' you're referring to happens to be my little sister Mina!"
"Are you sure you're not talking about the other blonde girl?"
"What other blonde girl? There's only one, my sister, talking to Kevin over there."
Darien glanced over toward the couch again and let out a strangled sound of frustration. The blonde girl wasn't there anymore, just the girl he had assumed was her sister. But Darien knew that Andrew luckily only had ONE sister. So then who was the blonde goddess in the silver halter top that had captured his attention and fueled his desire?
"Great, JUST PERFECT, Andrew! I take my eyes off her for one second to talk to you and she disappears into thin air!"
"Sorry, Darien. Hey, look on the bright side, she couldn't have gone too far! You'll run into her again sooner or later; I'll even get Jed and Rei to watch for her at the door for you!"
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
Andrew's girlfriend Reika suddenly pushed her way through the mob of party guests and sidled up next to Andrew. "Andy, honey, let's dance!" she purred, her eyes conveying her true intentions to Andrew. He grinned. "Good luck with your girl, Dare! Hope you find her!" he called to his friend as Reika led him past the dancing couples and toward the closet; a very popular place tonight.
'Great, I'm going to have to go over every inch of that closet with a bottle of disinfectant tomorrow.' Darien spotted Rei and Jed sneaking out of the closet just as Reika and Andrew made their way toward it. 'What the hell? I thought I told those two to take turns watching the door?' He was about to go over and tear into them when he spotted someone else who immediately captivated his attention.
Serena was annoyed with Mina; not that the little blond flirt could tell that her cousin was annoyed with her. Mina was still perched on the couch next to Kevin, though now she was practically on his lap. Mina was so preoccupied with being the center of attention that she couldn't see the death glares Serena was sending her.
'Why did I ever agree to come here tonight? All these guys look like the commitment types and I don't do commitment. I just want to have some fun and then move on with my life! Is that such a crime?' She sighed and took another sip of her non-alcoholic ice tea. Serena didn't drink. For one thing, her mother liked alcohol a little too much and Serena did not want to be like HER. For another thing, alcohol clouded your judgment; that's why guys always tried to get girls to drink the stuff. There was no way in hell that Serena was going to intoxicate herself and have regrets the next morning. Besides, she didn't need to drink because she was already planning to seduce someone tonight. She just needed to find the right one; maybe the owner of this penthouse. Hah, fat chance of THAT happening! The guy was probably already taken or something.
Kevin and Mina were way too preoccupied with one another to notice or even CARE if Serena should happen to take the car home right now. Maybe she could just go home and start reading her textbooks for the winter semester; there were only four days left of winter break, after all. But for some reason, something was telling her to stay a little longer. Serena felt his gaze before she noticed him a few feet from her. Tall, dark hair and dark blue eyes; the man made her forget that she'd wanted to go home. She had seen him a few times at the club but he'd always been surrounded by women clamoring for his attention. But now he was alone and it was like an invisible force was pulling her toward him.
"Hi." She said once she reached him. Serena inwardly smacked herself. Couldn't she have come up with something cooler to say?
Darien couldn't believe it; his dream girl was actually here and she was talking to him. "Hello, I'm Darien Shields." And all he could come up with was to say 'Hello' and tell her his name? Darien wanted to kick himself for being so incredibly lame.
"Nice to meet you Darien, I'm Serena Tsukino." God, why couldn't she stop staring at him like an idiot? He was probably already taken anyway!
"So, do you go to Starcrest College too?" Idiot! Why did he ask about school of all things? She probably thought he was a psycho already because he couldn't stop staring at her.
"Yeah, this is going to be my second semester." He probably was already bored; why couldn't she come up with something better to say? "Isn't this place amazing? I love the décor!" And so she commented on some guy's house instead? She must sound like such an idiot.
"Thanks, it's my place!" Ugh, that sounded so…stuck up.
"Really?" Uh, DUH! He just said that he lived there and she had to be dumb enough to ask him that? Serena wanted to crawl under a rock and never show her face again.
"Yeah, my dad sublet it to me. This is his building." Oh, right. Like she didn't think he was arrogant enough already, now he had to mention he was rich too?
"Well, it's very nice. You have very good taste, and I love the furniture." She really needed to stop repeating herself.
"You know, I've seen you in the clubs a few times." Oh great, now she probably thought he was stalking her.
"Really, that's weird you should mention that because I've seen you a few times too." Now he probably thought she was stalking him.
"I saw you dancing a few times; you're really good." Correction; she now thought he was a PERVERTED stalker.
"Thanks. You wanna dance?" Finally! She couldn't believe how long it had taken her to ask him; especially since that was the whole point of chatting him up in the first place.
"Sure." Oh, THAT sure sounded like he really wanted to dance with her! Why didn't the universe just kill him already? He obviously wasn't worthy of her.
"Great!" YES! She'd gotten him to dance with her.
"Great!" YES! Life didn't totally suck anymore!
Serena moved her hips in a sinuous rhythm; causing Darien to think of other things that she could be doing that had nothing to do with dancing. She slid up against him and instinctively Darien placed his hands on her hips as they moved to the beat of the music. Soon they were so engrossed in one another that they were no longer conscious of the other guests. Serena placed her arms around him; her fingers playing with his dark hair at the nape of his neck. Darien shivered in response. Serena was amazed at how much this guy could turn her on; Darien was sliding his hands over her waist and causing tingles of pleasure to course through her. She leaned in closer, pressing her full body against his. She reveled in the sensation of her soft curves being pressed intimately to every hard inch of him and unconsciously let a slow moan pass through her lips. Darien slowly ground his lower body into hers; wanting to hear that beautiful sound again. Gods, if she was like alcohol, then he was already drunk. She nuzzled into his neck, her hot breath causing more of those delightful shivers of pleasure to course through him. He wanted her; he couldn't think of anything he wanted more in his life. Serena sighed when she felt his lips near the corner of her jaw, just below her right ear. "Do you want to go somewhere more private?" Darien whispered huskily in her ear. Serena was tingling with pleasure and her legs felt like they would turn to jelly at any moment. She merely nodded and allowed Darien to lead her toward the stairs. He pulled away the streamers and together they ascended the stairs leading to his bedroom; the promise of passion and pleasure awaiting them.
"I guess Reika and Andrew had the same idea we did." Jed nodded toward the hall closet where their somewhat disheveled friends were now emerging with very satisfied grins on their faces.
"Well, you didn't think we'd be the ONLY ones to make use of that closet did you?" Rei handed Jed his drink and raised her own glass up. "To a new year." She said, clinking her glass with his. Suddenly she felt someone bump into her from behind; nearly causing her to spill her Cosmopolitan all over her boyfriend in the process.
"Oopsie!" the blonde girl that had bumped into them giggled; she had obviously had WAY too much to drink tonight. Rei immediately spun around to face her; she recognized that giggle. The color drained from Jed's and Rei's faces as their worst fear was confirmed.
"Mimi, what the hell are you doing here? You are NOT on the guest list!" Rei stared menacingly at the girl; how could one of Beryl's girls have gotten into the party? Realization suddenly dawned on her and she redirected her anger toward her overly horny boyfriend. "Crashers don't show up before ten? It's like a rule?" She repeated, looking like she was about to spit fire at him.
"NORMAL crashers don't show up till ten! But you can kick my ass later; Rei! Right now we need to figure out who else is here."
Mimi just giggled again and nearly lost her balance; almost crashing into Rei. "hehehehehe, I'll never te-ell." She sang in a child-like tune; hiccupping at the end.
Rei wanted to throttle the girl, but Jed held her back. "Face it; she's way too shit-faced to tell us anything. We should just find Darien and Andrew and tell them that SOMEHOW, Beryl may have gotten past us at the door."
Mimi was still giggling and hiccupping. She swayed slightly before her stiletto heels caused her to lose her balance and fall hard on her ass; this caused her to break into another fit of giggles. Rei and Jed gave her a withering glance before setting off to find Andrew and Reika.
Lilah, one of the other girls in Beryl's group, spotted Mimi giggling like an idiot by the refreshments table. She had on a dark green halter dress and her dark hair was done up in a bun with loose tendrils of dark curls framing her face. "Get up you idiot, before you draw even MORE attention to yourself!" Lilah scolded as she pulled Mimi up from her spot on the floor.
"HI LILAH! I FELL DOWN!" Mimi exclaimed in a high pitched little voice. Lilah groaned. Great, this was just fan-freaking-tastic! Not only had her idiot cousin gotten herself plastered, but she was going to alert every single person at this damn party that she was there. She spotted Mimi's sister Ellie a few feet away and managed to catch her eye. Immediately, the auburn haired girl rushed over to them.
"What the hell? I could hear my sister laughing like an idiot from across the room! I thought I told you to keep her AWAY from the alcohol; ESPECIALLY tonight." Ellie took hold of her sister and half walked, half carried her toward a nearby couch.
"ME? I'M supposed to watch her? What about you, Ellie? Why can't YOU watch your own sister instead of always relying on ME to babysit her?" Lilah protested.
"Look, it doesn't matter NOW, does it? I think the best way for us to do damage control at this point is figure out if she has alerted the wrong people yet!" Ellie snapped; she handed her sister a plastic cup filled with water and helped her hold onto it as Mimi drank it.
"That's just it; those two morons Rei and Jed sort of ran into her already."
"I ran into THEM!" Mimi giggled again.
"Well, don't just stand there Lilah! Go warn Beryl that we need to get out of here; and then find the rest of the girls and tell them the same thing!" Ellie ordered, helping Mimi to stand on her feet again.
"What about you and Mimi?" Lilah may have resented being related to a vicious bitch and a vacuous airhead, but she still didn't want Mimi to die from alcohol poisoning or anything. "Who knows how much she drank before we found her!"
"Relax; I'll take care of her. Now GO!"
Lilah nodded and set off to find Beryl and the other girls before anything else went wrong tonight. In her hurry, she accidentally bumped into a blonde girl. 'Smooth move Lilah, let's bump into a few MORE people and let EVERYBODY know that we crashed the party, shall we?' She sighed in relief when she realized it was only Viola.
"Lilah," she whined. "You almost made me spill my drink! What's the rush?"
"We have to leave; NOW!"
"Huh, but why?"
"Mimi got plastered and ran into those idiots Jed and Rei and now THEY know we're here. I'm off to warn Beryl and then I need to find the other girls."
"No, it will be faster if I warn Beryl while you find Cyprine and Polly!"
"Alright then Vi, I'll meet you in the car!"
"Right!" Viola turned around and headed back to the dance floor where she had last spotted Beryl. Luckily, she hadn't moved yet.
Beryl was glaring in the direction of the staircase; furious that Darien was taking some trampy blonde up to his room instead of HER. She was about to go over there and make her presence known when a hand tapped her on the shoulder. She immediately whirled around and stared into the frantic eyes of Viola Price. "Sorry B, but we have to leave NOW!" Viola grabbed Beryl's arm and started pulling her in the opposite direction toward the exit.
"WHAT?" Beryl hissed. "I only JUST found Darien and now you're telling me that our cover has been blown already?"
Viola winced at the tone in Beryl's voice. "S-something like that." She stammered. "M-Mimi got drunk and ran into Jed and Rei."
Beryl growled in anger and frustration. "Well isn't that just perfect! Leave it to Mimi to screw things up for me! Have you alerted the other girls?"
Viola nodded. "Lilah's already found Mimi and Ellie and she's looking for Cy and Polly right now."
Beryl glanced toward the stairs once again; Darien and the blonde had already disappeared into his bedroom. "Fine; I guess we don't have a choice. Besides, who knows when Darien and that slut will come out of his room?" She turned on her heel and stormed out the door; Viola following closely behind her. 'But this ISN'T over; I will have Darien in the end. Oh yes, I won't give up THAT easily!'
"Just look at him over there, Reika! He's got his paws all over my little sister!" Andrew was glaring menacingly in the direction of Darien's best friend. Reika smiled slightly in amusement.
"Andy, she's almost twenty. When are you going to stop this overprotective big brother act of yours?"
"I'm NOT being overprotective of her; I just don't want to see my friends taking ADVANTAGE of her!"
Reika watched as Mina practically straddled herself over Kevin's thighs while kissing him passionately. "I don't think Kevin's taking advantage of her, Andy. If anything, I think your little sister is the one doing all the seducing.
Andrew's hands balled up into fists. "Well there is no way my sister is going to lose her innocence to Kevin! I think I'll go over there and put a stop to this right now!" Andrew made his way toward his sister, but was sidetracked by the appearance of Rei and Jed.
"Thank gods we found you!" Rei sighed in relief. "Where is Darien?"
Andrew shrugged. "How the hell should I know?" He eyed them suspiciously. "Why? What's wrong?"
Rei looked pointedly at Jed. "Why don't I let my BOYFRIEND tell you what happened!"
"Aw, thanks a lot Rei!" Jed pouted.
Andrew folded his arms across his chest. "Well? What's the problem?"
"Well, you see…we sort of…Um" Jed stammered. Rei rolled her eyes. "What my idiot boyfriend is TRYING to say is that Beryl MAY have gotten past us at the door without our knowledge."
"WHAT?" both Andrew and Reika asked in unison.
"I-it was totally an accident! But we really do need to warn Darien that his psycho stalker is here!"
Andrew agitatedly ran his fingers through his hair. "How could you guys be so careless?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Reika noticed Beryl and her entourage sneaking out of the party and looking thwarted. "Don't worry about it, honey. The bitch parade is leaving right now so maybe Darien doesn't have to find out right this second!" She placed her hand on his and squeezed it reassuringly. Immediately, Andrew calmed down.
"Okay, I guess no harm was done. But next time we might not be so lucky! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pull my little sister off of Kevin before she goes too far." He cursed to himself when he realized that a different couple had occupied that spot. "Damn it! Where the hell did they go?"
Mina giggled as Kevin led her toward the exit. "I can't believe we got away before my brother spotted us!" She pulled Kevin closer to her and moved in for another hot kiss. "Mmm, you taste like candy!" she purred.
"Shouldn't you tell your cousin that you're leaving with me?"
Mina shook her head. "Nah, she already knows that I'm not coming home with HER tonight."
"Are you saying that you planned to go home with me tonight?"
Mina giggled. "Baby, I planned to go home with you the second I learned you'd be here tonight!"
"Mmm, that's an amazing coincidence because I only showed up tonight because I heard a rumor that you would be here."
"Wow! We have so much in common!" Mina purred; they started to make out again the second they got to Kevin's black Jaguar. After a few moments of bliss, Kevin pulled away from her and unlocked the passenger side door; he held the door for her as she slid into the leather seat and fastened her seatbelt. "So, tell me, is it really as big as you said?"
Kevin arched his eyebrow. "Are we talking about my apartment, or something else?" he teased.
Mina smiled flirtatiously. "Whichever you want, Baby!"
"In that case, you'll just have to find out for yourself once we get there!"
"Oooh, I like the sound of that!" She purred as the Jaguar pulled away from the curb.
Temptress Kitten: There you have it! So, what do you guys think of the new and extended first chapter of Toxic? I decided to extend the party scenes in order to fill in the blanks in my plot and also, it was a lot more entertaining for me to write. Personally, I LOVE the dance scene between Darien and Serena; but then again, I like any scene with sex or sexual undertones in it. I guess I could blame that on the fact that I'm single and my imagination is all I have! But anyway, enough about that! I'm sure all of you are very much aware of my bad luck with the opposite sex by now. So please, read and review and let me know if this chapter met your expectations or not! I don't know if I'll be able to accomplish this, but my goal is to get the second chapter rewritten and posted by NEXT Sunday. We'll see how my school week goes. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Till next time!
