Lucy: Where the hell are you?
Lucy: Hey you jerk! Where are you?
Lucy: Do I have to try using monkey languages?
Knock knock
I stop my texting and look to the left car's window, which had just been knocked on. There stood a tall blond hair boy who seemed closely related to a monkey. I opened my window and gave him a look of annoyance.
"Why don't you just come tomorrow instead?"
"I don't understand why girls like to use text messages, it's just annoying."
"Easy, they don't want to talk so they resort to messaging."
"Stop arguing already, are we going to this party or not?"
"We are!" I asserted before I continued my moaning on how he's the one who's late. Don't even ask me why I'm here at this party with Sting because I obviously would not come here with him without a plan in my mind.
I quickly opened the door, crashing it on Sting who was previously there earning myself many disgruntled facial expressions. I obviously ignored all of them and treated what had occurred as a punishment on him for making me wait, a girl should never be asked to wait, especially when one is as beautiful as I am.
"You know when you crash a door onto someone you should apologize."
"You're late and you didn't apologize."
"Well, that makes us equal."
.. . .. Ermmm, whatever
I ignored the stupid commotion and leaned down inside my car to get my lipstick. When I turned to look at the problematic man, his eyebrows were scrunched up whilst he looked at me belittlingly.
"What?"
"The way you dress suggests to me that you're here to seduce and hook up with loads of guys."
"Hey! Shut it!"
"Well it's the truth, I guaranteed that if Jellal did not fell for you today then he's blind or he's gay."
"Was that a compliment?"
"Maybe." He uncaringly shrugged then proceeded to walk before me pass Loke's house front garden. I looked down at my short-black sack dress with some uncertainty, I was sure that I look beautiful in it but why is that monkey saying weird things about it. Well, he's a monkey anyway so I shouldn't trust his taste anyway.
I walked into the party with Sting beside me. The loud noise emanated everywhere within the house. When I was in there I was met with many usual faces from college, likewise I was also met with faces that I had never seen before in my life. Everyone appeared to be enjoying the party to the fullest; some dancing with the rhythmic beats while other drank the selections of cocktails and alcohols available everywhere around the house. Sting went straight to greet his friend, leaving me to helplessly look for Jellal and Ms. plank on my own.
"Hi Lucy." Loke touched my shoulders gently to greet me. I turned to him smiling. I must admit that today Loke looks dazzling hot. I supposed it's from he newly amended hairstyle. If it's not for the fact that I'm in love with Jellal, I might already be dating him.
"Hi handsome. The party's great, is your dad (the spirit king) fine with all this?"
"Dad's in Bosco, he won't be back until next month so it's all good."
"If he'll be there for another month this won't be the only party you're having is it?"
"Well, I don't think I'll hold another one as big as this. Though it's another story from the small intimate one we can have, if you're interested of course."
"I am." I grinned back. Loke continued speaking but was interrupted when my left arm were suddenly pulled from behind my back. I turned around to see that the being that pulled my left arm was none another than the vile monkey who is now looking rather annoyed.
"What are you doing here?"
"Talking to Loke, as you can see, if you're supposedly not blind." I shouted back before throwing his hands off of my arm.
"Hey! I'll be taking her for a while. And Loke, Karen is looking for you." Sting blandly stated before he dragged me away from the party's host. I gave him my most confused face, confused with his recent behavior to drag me into the kitchen.
"What's wrong with you!"
"You're here to seduce Jellal, not Loke!"
"What? I wasn't seducing him or flirting or anything. I was just talking to him."
"You think I'm dumb?"
YES! You are a monkey.
"Hmmp!" I merely shrugged uncaringly.
"If you go around flirting like this every time I lose sight of you, how is this plan going to work?"
"It was you who started running around to see your friends once we entered the party, leaving me to helplessly look for Jellal and Erza alone!"
"I was just saying hello to my friends."
"I was doing the same!"
"I don't mind if you like to flirt around with everyone but can you assess the situation better. Try to remind yourself of why you're here would you? I don't want this plan to be ruin because of your flirty habits."
OMG! THE MONKEY JUST DISSED ME
"Flirt here! Seduce there! Have you developed some inferior complexity due to me not bothering to flirt with you?"
"Don't pretend to be innocent. You DID try to seduce me!"
"W-W-when did I ever try to seduce you?"
"When you lean to take your lipstick in your car."
I stared at him flabbergasted
"What, are you baffled by the thought of me not falling for you?"
"You peeked at my bottom! You vile monkey!" I screamed before I threw an apple from a neatly arranged basket at him. He dodged it quickly and shouted.
"What do you mean peaking? Leaning down as you did clearly shows that you're deliberately trying to seduce me!"
"Why would I ever want to seduce you? You pervert!"
"Didn't you deliberately do it?"
"I would never try to seduce a monkey! NEVER!"
How dare he took at peek at my buttocks then continued to say I was trying to seduce him! Just what was he thinking.
"Stop throwing apples already you mad woman!" he protested and quickly dodged another apple I threw at him. However, I was fast enough to take another apple to throw at him, hitting him straight in the chest.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Sting bellowed before he ran straight to me then proceeded to grab my arm that was in the process of throwing another apple.
"Let go of me."
"Stupid annoying woman. Dressing up this showy and still complains."
"My clothing is not showy!"
"Can't you see the tightness of your dress? I see no other definition other than showy for the way you dress-"
"Erza, Jellal so both of you were hiding in here." Words flew from the entrance of the kitchen to where we stood shutting him and I up in the process. We both turned towards to see Jellal and Erza walking pass it together.
"Ceasefire!" I declared grunting as I walked out of the kitchen. He closely followed me as if we had a telepathic bond. We both became immobile as we saw Jellal and Erza having a 'more than friendly' conversation, emanating pink auras in the process.
"What do we do?"
"Something!"
"Well what!" I viewed the room where we are standing, on the left a group of people were laughing on a joke they shared, on the right a couple was cuddling together as if there is nothing but them on this world. I gaze lingered at the drink bar where I saw a large jar of punch standing next to many bottles of fizzy drinks. Next to it stood a drunken man who is trying to fit his head into a lamp close to him, just looking gave me shivers of him be electrocuted. Drunken people just can't do any thinking can they?
They can't! Drunken people do not think! Most importantly, the action of a drunken person is never wrong!
"I got it!" I stated whilst surveying the room to find an empty bottle of whisky sitting on a stand. I grabbed it, but as I walked towards my target my arms was pulled by Sting.
"Hey, at least tell me the plan."
"I thought you already got it."
"I'm not as evil as you."
"Don't you understand it yet?" I showed him the empty bottle of whisky in my hand.
"What, you're going to hit with it and rape him when he faints?"
"Only a monkey would think that way." I viewed him with both pity and compassion for the small-brained animal. "I will pretend to be drunk"
"…"
"What is the meaning of the look on your face?"
"You'll pretend to be drunk then you'll seduce that weirdo?"
"Yes, I will pretend to be drunk, No, he is not a weirdo!"
"Wow!" He mumbled will a star struck expression. "You're worst than they say."
"I'm not that bad, this is even my first time doing it."
"You're lying."
"Fine! I did it two or three times already, but whatever." I accepted the truth before my sight rest on Jellal. He is having a conversation my Erza and her friend but his lips clearly showed a strained smile, maybe he is bored with the conversation. Therefore, it is a great chance for me to go to his rescue.
"The problem is that Loke is also standing there as well. I don't think I could fool him that I'm drunk cause we usually party and he knows that I don't get drunk easily."
"Tell him that you drank loads already,"
"Within ten minutes of entering the party? You do know that not everyone is a monkey like you right?"
"Do you have a problem with monkeys or something?"
"Not really, I just have a problem with you." I replied blandly, not caring that I am bickering softly with him. Sting did not retort back but merely stood still and ponder.
"You won't get drunk right?"
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"You'll be crawling on the floor begging me for mercy if we ever have a drink."
"Well it does seem unbelievable." I gave him a shrug as my answer. I obviously enjoy partying, to me drinking is as simple as breathing, I could drink a whole bottle of tequila and only get a little bit dizzy causing me to wear my heels on the wrong sides, however other people would have been trying to wear their heels as a hat by the time they drank the same alcoholic content. However, my secret is that I will be immediately drunk if I take alcohol with sugary food. I vaguely remembered that after I drank a can of cola mixed with gin tonic I was climbing the roof, whilst trying to wear my heels as my hat.
Nevertheless, I swear not to get drunk tonight as it might caused me to do unexpected things and I do not want those unexpected things to happen in front of Jellal.
"Okay How about this." Sting sexy raspy voice pulled me back to reality. "I'll wiggle my way into the conversation then start handing out drinks. If you're as good as you say, by the 5th glass you would still be fine when the rest would likely be drunk. So the plan to pretend to be drunk would be perfect as that's the normal amount of alcohol people take before they get drunk."
"Really?"
"I don't think that Loke would stand there forever. He's the party host so someone will probably drag him away soon."
"What if no one drags him away, can I just continued with the plan?"
"Leave it to me. I'll deal with him if he doesn't leave"
"Leave it to you? Can you really deal with anything? Do you remember what happened last time you said 'leave it to me?'"
"I could deal with loads of things but one of the things I could never dealt with is you."
"…." I ignored his half-complimentary half-mockery words and rest my eyes on Erza who is now talking with Loke. Jellal probably feels uncomfortable, as Loke is the 'sporty type' unlike him that is seemingly a 'geeky type.'
"Hopefully your actions will be as good as your words." I proceeded on walking to the table where Loke, Erza, Jellal and many others were having a conversation. Loke turned to me and grinned, I, however gave the attention of my sweet gaze to Jellal instead.
"Hi, your shirt looks nice." I greeted Jellal as my hand moved to touch the collar of his shirt. Jellal awkwardly laughed before Erza spoke.
"Your dress is so pretty Lucy. I would never dare wear something like that."
Was that sarcasm? Probably not.
"My Lucy is always pretty! Anyway, what was Sting . . . . ." I cut Loke off before he could ask.
"It was nothing! We were just talking about petty little things."
"Sting is here? I didn't see him at all."
"He'll be here soon, I think." I answered before turning back to Jellal. "When are you leaving?"
"Soon I guess, I'm starting to feel sleepy."
"Sleepy? My friend, this is just 10PM, how are you even getting sleepy." Loke then made a seemingly pitying laugh. Erza smiled uneasily, I think she wants to protect Jellal but I quickly seized the opportunity and declared.
"Loke, have you never slept before 10PM? I do like you go to bed before 10 you know, that way you'll have loads of time to do many other things." I ended my speech with a sweet smile. The speech was intended to embarrassed Loke, however he seemed to have a different idea of what my speech meant as it caused his grin to widened. ('Many things' obviously does not mean those kinds of kinky things)
"What are you guys on about?" Sting neatly joined in with the conversation. In his hand, there lies two glasses of punch. Don't tell me that that's for me, OMG! I can't drink alcoholic punch, it I drink that I'll be drunk immediately!
"Hi Sting!" Erza smiled pleasantly, does this mean that she's interested in the monkey? It she is then that's brilliant, as I now don't have to pull her away from Jellal.
"Hi Erza, what were you guys talking about? Oh Lucy, here's the punch that you asked me to get it for you." Sting made an innocent face before passing me the glass of punch.
"Ha-ha, really? I'm sure that I did not request this punch."
"Here's your punch."
"No! I'm sure I asked for . . . ."
"Take it." Sting gave me his ultimatum before forcing the punch into my hands.
"Well then, cheers!" Loke performed his duty as the host of the party and lift up his glass for a toast. Jellal and Erza both followed as well as Sting. Leaving me shocked."
"Lucy? Are you joining?" Jellal asked, I could not say no to Jellal so I raise my glass to join the toast.
"One shot all right?"
"O-O-one shot?" I shakily asked
"Yep"
"Umm." I stuttered
"Do you drink Lucy?" Erza asked worriedly sending me confused glances, yet both her glances and question annoys me greatly.
"Yes, frequently." I answered before I drank the full glass of punch in my hand. Wooh! This is getting hot. The punch appears to have a low alcoholic content as it wasn't very bitter, therefore I could likely cope with this. Soon everyone finished their punch.
"Wait, we need more of that." Loke proposed as we walked to the large jar of punch to bring Erza and me another glass. Sting and Jellal reached for a bottle of whisky on the bookshelf (which I have no idea how it got there) and started drinking. I mentally plead to trade the whisky for the punch, as I'm sure that the whisky will not make me drunk.
Another round of drink soon followed before my laugh became recognizably a pitch higher. I feel myself getting warmer and warmer as Sting passed me the third glass of punch. The first glass was nothing, the second glass caused some confusion, however by the third glass I was leaning on Loke.
"What happened to you Lucy? Already drunk? Ha-ha." Loke chuckled as he patted by back softly. I smiled somberly before replying.
"A little bit, I think."
"Oh! She did drank a few glass already before she joined you." Sting helpfully added.
"Are you alright?" Jellal asked caringly (I think).
"I'm fine I'm fine."
"Are you really alright Lucy? You look really dizzy." Erza repeatedly added.
"Yes. I'm fine, really." I asserted. I saw Sting hiding his smile with another glass of whisky. He's likely amazed by my actions wondering how I am pretending to be drunk this well. Well, too bad for him as I think I'm really getting drunk for real.
"Then another glass?" Loke grinned before giving me another glass of punch. I perplexedly took it before drinking the whole glass without any protest as everyone was doing so. Oh god, this glass just made me super warm, it felt as if the alcohol had now seeped through every part of my body, it felt so dizzy that I had to rest my body on Loke's. I looked to Sting and was confused as Sting was scrunching up his eyebrows, yet I was too dizzy to understand the meaning behind any of it. The only thing I could think of now is to stop drinking anymore of this punch.
"Are you alright?" Erza inquired as her hand moved to pat my back.
"You don't usually get drunk this easily." Loke stated as his hand moved to stroke my hair off my forehead. I smiled sweetly at him before I playfully said.
"I wasn't drugged was I?"
"Who would dare drug you?" Loke replied willingly before his hand softly touched my nose as if he was sending me a message. I giggled as a reply as I try to move. But suddenly, a pair of hand grabbed my shoulders and pushed my away from Loke. Luckily Sting had gracefully grabbed me otherwise I would be on the floor.
"Shameless bitch!" I stare at the source of the sound; it was from none other than Karen, Loke's mad girlfriend who is now glaring at me hatefully.
"Karen!" Loke rushed in to stop Karen from coming any closer to me.
"Let go of me Loke! Are you so smitten by her that you must protect her?"
"I was not smitten by her and there's nothing between us. Lucy was just dizzy so she was leaning on me." Loke tried to explain. I really want to make some retort but I was so dizzy that I don't know how I should start.
"Do you have anything to say? Have you no shame? Aren't you embarrassed to be leaning on someone who already has an owner? Loke's my boyfriend!" Karen loud scream overshadowed the music that was playing. I gave her a resigned and annoyed signed before I push away Sting who I was leaning on. I walked in front of Karen before saying.
"I was just doing what Loke wants."
"'Scream sound effect' bitch!" Karen screech whilst she pushed her way towards me ruthlessly but Loke once again stopped her. Someone behind me however dragged me back and hugged me. I turned to see Sting making an anxious face shaking his head whilst telling me to stop. I ignored his words as my attention went back to Karen.
"Aww! Poor Karen, I'm just too hot that you're worried that Loke's might just throw you away and have me instead."
"Enough already." Sting grabbed my arms again but I push it away before I stared at a shocked looking Karen.
"Why don't you go back to Loke and tell him to stop dreaming of me before you start bitching about me. I'm sure I did not do anything other than giving a little bit of hope. Yet, that little bit of hope might be more that what you could ever give to him causing him to think of me instead of you. I do pity you Karen, really. Don't you think so Loke?"
I leered at Loke before I was dragged by Sting out of the scene. I tried to break free from Sting through shouting at him as well as hitting him. However, the alcohol took the strength from my body through the overwhelming dizziness. Jellal looked at me, shocked by what he saw which nearly made me vomit from the stress of his stare. Will he see me differently from now on? But wasn't I always like this? Oh shit! I just revealed my true self to Jellal. He'll be running back to his plank of a girl now won't he?
"You've just ruined all of our plans." Sting complained before he threw me on a soft bed. I was confused to when and how I got dragged to Loke's room on the second floor.
"I haven't done anything." I protested silently as I leaned back to rest on the bed. "Damn! This dizziness is killing me." I grumbled before my eyes rest on Sting stressed looking face.
"You've ruined our plan. You were supposed to be seducing Jellal, not Loke!"
"I did not seduce Loke."
"Oh sure! You were just giving him what he wants!" Sting sarcastically stated. I made a big signed before I grabbed Loke's pillow and rest my head on it.
"Hey! Are you sleeping?"
"Umm."
"What about our plan."
"Later."
"No way! You're acting is perfect at the moment, you can't just leave things half done like this."
"Later is okay. Jellal won't be going anywhere."
"He might be. HE just saw you true evilness remember?"
"Ah. Right."
"Then lets go."
"I'm dizzy."
"Stop faking."
"Really, really, I'm really dizzy." I mumbled softly as I crushed my face onto the soft pillow without caring about how the white pillow might be dirtied by my red lipstick. Its killing two birds with one stone any cause if Karen saw this she'll probably go mad hahaha.
"Hey! Seriously!" Sting protested as he pulled my arms from embracing the soft pillow and forced me to lie on my back. I looked into his eyes with an annoyed expression. Suddenly all my annoyance disappeared without a reason.
"Your face is really red. Is because of my face?"
"Ha-ha. Don't be ridiculous, why would I be embarrassed by seeing your face?" I giggled brightly before I met his gaze with my playful eyes. "It's you who should be embarrassed because of me."
"Ha-ha. And why would I be embarrassed by seeing your face."
"Well won't you agree that my dizzy face is super sexy?" I smirked as I answered. Sting paused before be laughed. The laugh wasn't the usual laugh he normally gave me, it seems to me as if the laugh was surrendering to me.
"That punch must have made you drunk."
"Hmm, I agree, it's like this room is rapidly spinning." I said before I brushed my hand through his soft hair. Sting let go of me as he sat beside me on the bed.
"Does this means that our plan failed again?"
"Hey, there's always a next time."
"What do you mean next time. This is the best time to take action. The party will make be everyone tipsy. If a dizzy sexy girl suddenly walk up to a guy and ask for a dance he would surely be blown away. For someone as inexperienced as Jellal, seeing you smile alone would melt him.
"You think so?"
"I know so."
"You do seem confident about it. Don't tell me that you're also melting because of my smile." I giggled again before I moved closer to him to have a clearer view of his face. He hesitated before he responded.
"Weren't you the one who said that you're really sexy at the moment?"
"Would you agree?" Sting nodded wordlessly. I looked into one another eyes for a while, ignoring the loud noises heard downstairs, it was as if nothing could break our gaze on one another. I think I must be drunk on that punch, drunk on his cologne or drunk on something as at that moment, the man in front of me was hot and sexy beyond words. I hearted pumped rapidly as he leaned his face closer and closer to mine. His actions revealed his uncertainty on me as if he thought that I would suddenly run away. When he was certain that I wasn't going to move, he leaned closer and finally kissed me. His deep sensuous kiss made me feel warmer and hotter with each passing moment. The smell of his soft cologne made me wild, his kiss was different from any of the other kiss I have tasted. I can't help myself from feeling satisfied with the kiss that wasn't meant to occur. My brain became blurry as his body leaned down to touch mines; the feeling from his touch was wondrous beyond any mortal explanation. My lips and his danced around one another, caressing one another for many minutes as if our lips were a glass of ice cold lemonade that could soothes one thirst on a hot day.
(Sounds of door opening)
"No one is in this room- oops!" The door to the room was suddenly unlocked as a couple opened it. We paused before staring at the door.
"Erm, sorry, we didn't know that this room is occupied." The girl is short brown hair giggled before she grabbed her boyfriend and dragged him away as she closed back the door. My attention and his was pulled by the giggles that could be heard outside of the room for a while before our gaze again returned to meet one another. This time, I was the one who softly touched his perfect, soft, clean face before brushing away the hair on his forehead then leaned down on him to slowly and gently plant my lips on his allowing me to once again taste that forbidden lemonade. .
