Last Time

Though she may have looked the epitome of calm on the outside inside, was a different story. She kept thinking about what Ashley had said, she had thought that she had forgotten Zac, that her memories of summer were dormant, but, two sentence from her friend had seemed to jumble it all up. The image of her best friend running her hands through his sandy blond locks made her feel uneasy. She couldn't help it. The memories of being perched on his lap, reading an Austen novel while he ravaged her neck by the pool just kept flooding her head. Why did everything have to be so complicated again?

Her friend smiled and touched her elbow. "Your a good friend Ness," and left.

Good friend? She didn't think that any of them would be saying that if they knew what was going round her head.


"How do I look?" The blonde strutted into the room, dressed in a miniskirted, red and grey striped, white Mui Mui dress. Her long blond locks were pulled into a high pony tail, with a tuff at the top, the ends teased into perfect curls. Shimmering white MAC liquid eyeliner was glittering from her chestnut coloured eyes, a slick of Lancome Juicy Tube in cherry glossed over her soft lips.

"Baby you look fabulous!" gushed Lucas entering behind her and enveloping her in a hug, then moving on to the other two girls. "These are the faces of the divas who are totally gonna break some hearts tonight!"

Vanessa forced a nervous laugh, yeah she thought still admiring her best friends beauty, including mine.


Loud techno music blared through the speakers at the bottom floor of the house. Two hundred people weaved in and out through the Tisdale mansion, some grinding on the dance floor, others drinking by the pool. As soon as the girls descended down the stairs the music dimmed and the house went silent. All eyes were on the three beauties elegantly gliding down the staircase. Both Vanessa and Monique were at the front while Ashley was hidden behind them, keen to make her own fabulous entrance at the bottom. Without thinking Vanessa's eyes searched for Zac's. As she skimmed the room she caught sight of two ocean blue eyes looking right at her. His intense stare caught her and she quickly darted her eyes to the right where she was met with two smiling gold flecked, chocolate brown eyes. She forced a weak smiled and he replied with a cheeky wink. She shuddered, suddenly feeling uncomfortable with the hundreds of eyes watching her. When did these bloody stairs end?

Finally reaching the bottom, both brunettes parted letting the glowing blonde speak to her adoring fans. "Hi everyone! Thank you so much for coming." She looked around, and a confused look washed across her face, "what's everyone standing around for?" Breaking into a grin. "Let's get this party started!"

A chorus of cheers was heard as a remix of Soulja Boy's Crank That filled the room. Ashley lead the group towards the group of boys. The four; Lucas, Corbin, Joe and Zac were all holding two shot glasses filled with lemon Absolut. Three of the boys handed a glass to each girl. Monique laughed and pointed at Lucas.

"Saving it sweetie?"

Lucas grinned back. "Darling! You know it isn't a party until L is intoxicated and buzzing!" Something caught his eye in the crowd. "Group, I think I spy my date for the evening. Au revoir!" He sauntered into the direction of a tall, dark, Italian looking boy.

Joe snaked his hands around Vanessa's waist and she gulped down her shot, shuddering away the shiver the bitter, warm feeling the alcohol gave her.

"Woah there!" came a whisper in her ear. "Getting in the mood already?"

She nodded faintly.

"Wanna dance?" He gulped his own down and pulled her close.

She let him lead the way, keeping her eyes firmly on Zac. Ashley was now chatting away with him. Leaning close to his ear to be heard through the loud music. Well at least that was what she told herself.

Joe twirled her around as Rihanna's Please Don't Stop the Music came on. He pulled her back to him and they swayed together their bodies so close that she could smell the mix of her Chanel perfume with his Abercrombie Cologne. She tried to close her eyes as let the music take her, but only opened them again finding it wasn't working.

"Drink?" she shouted into his ear.

He nodded and led her to the bar where there were coloured shots lined at the rim of the table with a couple of men mixing cocktails behind the huge bottles of alcohol and fruit juices. Vanessa picked up two more little glasses and forced them down letting the warm feeling rush over her. She steadied herself against Joe as she felt the stimulant kick in.

"You okay Ness?" A worried look flashed across the brunette boys face.

"Of course sweetie!" she gushed, uttering her first words since she walked down. "Just enjoying the party!"

The concern disappeared from his face and he beamed at her, reaching for her hand. "Then lets dance!"

They moved back to the dance floor and began moving with the crowd, grinding to the beats of the songs as they changed. He brought her close, holding her against him. Then twirled her around pushing her out and bringing her back in. They laughed, singing along to the songs that they knew, jumping up and down like kids when they felt like it. Vanessa was having an awesome time. All the worries that had consumed her for the past couple of hours had floated away, drowned out by the music. Feeling free, she lifted her arms into the air, hands still held in Joe's, pretending that she was flying.

The music changed and the first few bars of Chris Brown's With You came on, then a loud burst of techno filled the room again and Vanessa recognised the remix. She faced Joe and suddenly realised how close his face was. He too had seemed to realise that as then he made eye contact with her. His face began to inch closer towards hers and then there was no gap between them. His lips pressed softly against hers and she leaned in closer, parting her lips. His tongue slid into her mouth, and a shiver went through her body as he nibbled her lip. Suddenly an image of the blue eyed boy who'd she'd forgotten about for the last hour flooded into her mind. Yanking herself away from the dazed boy in front of her she blinked, trying to find the right words.

"Uhhh, drink?" He wrinkled his nose but nodded.

"I'll come with -" he was cut off.

"No, no, no. You stay here and enjoy. I think i need some air." She flapped around her hands and backed away, leaving a very confused boy on the dance floor.

Reaching the bar, she picked up another small glass with a rose tinted liquid in it and downed it.

"Going straight for it, are we?" The deep voice she had been avoiding was standing right next to her, staring right at her.

"You!" she practically screamed. "Why are you doing this to me?"

His eyes widened with mixed alarm and shock. He noticed a couple of heads turning. "Okay Vanessa, looks like you've had a little too much to drink. Lets get you some fresh air and water shall we?"

"NO!" she fought, but of course he was much stronger than her and managed to pull her into an empty room.

"Come on." Once they reached the room, he closed the door. Letting the music get a little fainter. "You're drunk." I wasn't a question.

"So?"

"What do you mean, 'so'? How much have you had?"

"I don't know, two? Maybe three? More? You don't care!"

"Don't say that V. You know I do." his voice hadn't raised in volume, or tone. Hers however was getting louder and muffled.

"Don't fucking call me that! I'm not your V! You have someone else, so go back to you're girlfriend."

A look of confusion washed across his face. Then he asked innocently, "Ashley?"

She nodded fiercely, clearly outraged. "Don't try and give me that fake innocent bullshit! Yeah I mean her. And every other girl you've been playing with in this house!"

"Vanessa? What the hell are you talking about? Ashley's your friend, she's mine too, there's nothing else to it. Anyways, what about Joe?"

"No, don't you try and change the subject. Listen, stay away from me. Stop coming into my head." She was slurring slightly, the alcohol beginning to really take it's effect. "Stop making me feel this way."

She lunged towards him, pounding at his chest, as hard as she could. Trying to inflict as much pain on him as she was confused inside. But while still pretty disorientated she swayed a little a narrowly fell, caught just in time by two warm, big strong arms.

The music skipped to Ne-Yo's Closer she looked straight into his ice blue eyes and fell transfixed. He whole body suddenly brought her closer to his face until their lips were touching. Snaking his arms round her waist, her hands winding themselves around his neck as the pulled closer. Slowly the lyrics came on and they moved to the music.

Turn the lights off in this place

And she shines just like a star

Zac pulled away, catching a breath. She caught sight of her face and melted. She just looked so beautiful, and he knew just how much he wanted her.

And I swear I know her face

I just don't know who you are

Everything just seemed to disappear, the people in the next room. The confusion he had been feeling since he got here. The thoughts that had consumed him and made him question her were all gone. She may not have been acting like the girl he met in summer, but she still was her.

Turn the music up in here

I still hear her loud and clear

He pushed her against the wall right next to the door, moving from her face to her neck. He could hear her moaning softly as he nibbled her sensitive spot.

Like shes right there in my ear

Telling me

that she wants to own me

To control me

Come closer

Come closer

Her voice sounded in his ear and he could hear how much she was enjoying it. Her hands moved down to his shirt, trying to push it up.

And I just cant pull myself away

Under Her Spell I can't break

I just cant stop

Looking back into her eyes he tried to take control. Tried to see if he could understand what he was doing. But her eyes wouldn't let him, he could see the mix of venerability and pain, something he was afraid to admit he was the cause of. He wanted to make it all better.

And I just cant break myself no way

But I dont want to escape

I just cant stop

His white Paul & Joe shirt was discarded on the floor. Her hands trailing up a down his body. Gaining control she pulled his mouth back to hers. Right where it belonged.

I can feel her on my skin

I can taste her on my tongue

His hands reached for her zip. It was all perfect, both intertwined within each other. Making up for lost time, they were acting like they had when they had first kissed.

Shes the sweetest taste of sin

The more I get the more I want

He moved back to her neck, trying to gain his control. It was hard. However wrong her knew it was, nothing he could tell himself would make him back away. He didn't want to let go. She was just too intoxicating.

She wants to own me...

Come closer

She says "come closer"

Vanessa giggled into Zac's ear. Listening to the song. She sang the words, her voice floating to his ears. He happily obliged and pulled her as close as possible as her dress slipped off.

And I just cant pull myself away

Under Her Spell I can't break

I just cant stop

And I just cant break myself no way

But I dont want to escape

I just cant stop

Both teens were too caught up, too engrossed within each other, to notice the door of the unlocked room suddenly open. They were still in their own little bubble, oblivious to the blonde walking into the room, cocktail in one hand, Marlboro Light in the other. Nothing could have brought them back to the outside world. Nothing but the sound of the intruder, recognising the couple.

"Vanessa? Zac?"


Soooo... who is the blonde??... guess ... i think I'm gonna be evil and ask for an ambitious 5 reviews...

Big kiss... D x
