Chapter 10

Friday night. Day off of work. Empty house. That all adds up to…

"PARTY!"

The guys and I laughed and dodged the drunken kid running around in his underwear screaming 'party'.

"Oh hey guys."

Our pal Masaru, resident of the house, emerged through the crowd and greeted us all.

"Hey Mas. Nice party going on here, eh? Lots of people showed."

He surveyed the crowds of people then faced me again.

"I know dude! Didn't think I was that loved."

"Haha right. So are your folks out of town or what?"

"Hell yes. Gone for their anniversary. Left innocent little me in charge!"

"Alright, well innocent little Masaru, wanna show me and the boys where the keg is?"

He slapped my back and pushed me forward.

"You know it bro."

"Dude."

Itsuki grabbed my arm and pointed into the sea of people.

"Look how fine that girl looks tonight!"

"What girl? There's like twenty."

"That girl! Kagome, was that her name?"

As soon as he said her name I saw her. And I could hardly breath.

Kagome was talking to some other girls, casually glancing around the room. Her hair was in a sloppy bun and her eye makeup was a little darker then usual. She was wearing a deep blue silk halter that exposed a small strip of her stomach. For pants she had on skin hugging black jeans. And Itsuki was right. She looked fine.

"Shit man, can you hurry up and do her? Cause I am so ready to be her rebound guy. I bet she's a goddess in bed."

Something bubbled inside of me.

"Don't say that man."

"What?"

He laughed, nudging me with his elbow then taking a swig of his drink.

"You just cant help but to picture her naked."

"Itsuki…cut it out."

"I wonder if she'd do some of that raunchy stuff. You know, wear a little leather, some heels, maybe even-"

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and glared at him as I held him close.

"I said cut it out."

His eyes had a flash of fear in them.

"Alright man. I'm sorry."

I dropped him back on his feet and turned and walked away, crumpling up my empty cup and tossing it to the floor.

This night sucks.
