The party was in full swing by the time I got there, and people were
everywhere. Pausing inside the door I looked around until I finally spotted
my sister.
"How you living girl?" I asked squatting beside her as she played a video game.
"Jesse just went up stairs to change," She said not bothering to look away from the screen.
"Well hello to you too," I said laughing,
"What?" " You know that's what you were gonna ask me," she said putting on her I'm your big sister smirk that drove me crazy.
"Yea, yea, I'll be down in a few," I said turning to walk to the stairs. One thing we always did for one another was keeping up on where are guys were. There were in such high demand it was almost like we had to. My foot was on the first step when someone called my name. Turning I spotted Johnny Tran making his way through the crowd.
"Sup Johnny?"
" Nice win tonight."
" Thanks," I said nodding.
" Your good."
"That's what they tell me, but I get the feeling you didn't come over here to chat."
" No I didn't, what's the deal with you ,and my sister?"
" It as just a .. misunderstanding, but its clear now, you know it was a girl thing."
"Just checking," He said shrugging, and sipping his Corona.
" You're like Dom ya know," I said squinting my eyes as I looked at him.
"What?"
" The way you look out for y our sister, I respect that, but if she steps out of line with me, I'm gonna take her down."
"I can live with that," He said smiling as he walked away.
:Damn: I murmured to myself I was starting to actually like the guy .Turning I jogged up the steps calling for Jesse as I opened the door to our room. When I got no response I shrugged, and headed to the closet immediately taking of my shoes, and pants. When I was home most times I just wanted to be comfortable. I was reaching for a pair of Jesse's pants when I heard the door creek open.
"Jesse, did you forget something again?" I asked laughing as I turned around. The laugh stuck in my throat, and chocked me as I found myself looking into the eyes of Lance.
"What the hell are you doing here Tran!"
" I was looking for someone," He said shrugging. Realizing this was his first time in my house I calmed.
"Well they sure as hell aint here, now could you leave?" I asked suddenly feeling naked as I realized I was standing there in my sheer shirt, and a thong, which was the only thing I could wear with leather pants.
"But things here are so much more… interesting right here."
"Tran, " I said scowling.
"Well it was you I was looking for you, You know I like you don't you ?"
"Look , I have a boyfriend, and its not going to happen so why don't you turn around, and leave before things get ugly , these aren't your streets here." Tilting his head he seemed to consider my words, and turned to leave.
"I'll leave," He said walking out slowly. "For now."
:This could cause major problems: I thought shivering as I thought of the things he could have tried. For the first time in my life, I didn't feel safe in my own home, and for the first time I had no one to turn to. If I told anyone one the team what had happened tonight they would kill Tran, and start a war. With trembling hands I managed to pull on Jesse's pants , and dig in the dresser for one of his white tanks.
Jesse's pov
I smiled as I watched Lad walking towards me in my orange Jogging pants, and white beater. I had never told , but seeing her in my clothes was a major turn on. There was just something sexy about seeing your girlfriend in your clothes.
o:p/o:p
"Hey gorgeous," I said grabbing her wrist, and pulling her gently into my lap.
"Hey babe," She said laying her head on my shoulder, and playing with the edge of my tank top.
"You ok?" I asked my New Jersey accent creeping out from when I lived up Nprth with my Mother.
"Yea, having the Trans in my house, just makes me nervous," She said as I nodded in agreement. I knew she probably thought I had forgotten about the incident in the restaurant , but I hadn't. Heck I probably never would. When a looks at your girl with that much lust, you keep an eye on him.
"You know what?" She said suddenly sitting up straight.
"What?"
" I need a drink," She said making my mouth drop. I knew she meant alcohol, and she never drank, especially not at the parties. Sometimes she'd drink on New Years, and always at V's birthday parties, but never on weekdays.
"What Jess," She said heading toward the bin of coronas, me behind her.
"But you have school tomorrow."
"Jess, don't you think I get tired of being good all the time?" She asked winking as she popped the top.
"No its one of the things I love about you," I whispered taking the Corona.
"Jess," She whined softly pouting. I hated when she did that she always got her way! It was the side of her that Only I got to see, and maybe V.
"Ok ok , but I'm not letting you out of my site."
"That would be a bonus to drinking," She said laughing, her dark eyes twinkling in the light.
A few hours later we were both feeling pretty loaded when the party started clearing out.
"Jesse, how are we going to get upstairs?" She asked laughing hysterically as we held on to each. o
"Where'd Dom, he'll help," I said holding her up.
"No good, him and Let went upstairs a loooooong time ago. "V! where are ya!" She yelled.
"He just left with a blond," Johnny said walking up.
"Here's Johnny!" She said laughing as she patted him on the side of his face. I tensed waiting to see Trans reaction, I was surprised when he laughed.
"I see someone here had to much to drink."
"Yea," I said laughing as she looked around asking " Who who?" At that moment I really started to like Tran, he wasn't such a bad guy. It was his cousin I couldn't stomach.
"Need Help getting her up the stairs?"
"Normally no, but since I've been drinking yea."
"Ok, here we go, come on Ladie," he said lifting her.
" You're stronger than you look Johnny," She said giggling. Rolling my eyes I stumbled up the stairs behind them. Something was definitely up, alcohol, or no alcohol Ladie never acted like this.
Ladie
When Johnny came over to carry me up, I was really surprised. I knew me, and Jesse were way past our limit, but I figured, we'd just sleep on the couch. Even with the alcohol I was still alert, I was just testing my waters with Tran. I wanted to know where he stood, and how much he was actually like his cousin. He lifted me up , and caried me to my room with Jesse close behind, and from that night on I looked at him as a friend.
"How you living girl?" I asked squatting beside her as she played a video game.
"Jesse just went up stairs to change," She said not bothering to look away from the screen.
