Summary: The tables are about to turn on Selena
Chapter 9: Getting Screwed
"You could at least try to smile" Selena snapped at a sulking Sebastian. "You're suppose to adore me remember?"
"How could I forget" he replied sarcastically as he took a sip of his punch and then nearly gagged.
Looking down at her own glass she asked "what, did someone spike it?"
"Unfortunately no" he grumbled as he threw the drink away. "Is this damn thing almost over with?"
"Not for another two hours. Now loose the attitude. I need you all smiles for when I win." Sebastian produced a fake smile "that's better. Now lets dance."
As Selena dragged him out on the dance floor Sebastian wished to god someone would put him out of his misery. It was bad enough he was being forced to attend the idiotic school formal but to top it of he also had the date from hell. Every since he had picked her up a few hours all Selena had done was bitch and nit pick about everything from her dress, traffic, the decorations and the other girls who she was running against. It was taking all of Sebastian's will power not to tell her to go to hell.
The only reason he was going along with her blackmail was on account of Kathryn. As hard as it was for him to put up Selena's demands he knew it was much worse for Kathryn. She actually wanted to attend the fucking dance but thanks to Selena she was stuck at home planning some party that Selena would take credit for. It was humiliating for her getting blackmailed by some girl who she hardly considered an equal.
As Sebastian danced with Selena he frowned at the thought of Kathryn having to sit home alone completely miserable all because of the twit he was dancing with. Selena noticed the scowl on his face and asked with an annoyed sigh "what's wrong now?"
"Nothing it's just...you look really beautiful" he lied curious to see if she would buy his sudden shift in mood.
To Sebastian's astonishment she did. Smiling almost sweetly she said "thanks I thought you would like it."
He decided to see how far he could take the act. "Look Selena I'm sorry about how I've been acting. I realize I haven't given you a fair chance and I would like to change that."
The way she was eyeing him he could tell she was trying to figure out if he was on the level or not. Finally though with a beaming smile she told him "yeah I would really like that but what about Kathryn?"
"Kathryn can take care of herself. Besides we're not exactly what you'd call committed." Before she could protest further he leaned in and kissed her right there. Sebastian pulled away after a minute and asked "so what do you say?"
"I say it's about time you came to your senses" she replied with a gloating smile.
Selena leaned in to kiss him again however the booming voice of the band leader stopped her. "Ladies and gentleman can I have your attention. It's time to announce this years winter queen."
A mix of cheers and groans rang out through the ballroom as Mrs. Steaple the chairwoman of the formal came on stage carrying a white envelop. She smiled as she addressed the crowd "I know how anxious you all are to find out the winner but first I would like to remind all of you about the hazards of drinking and driving..."
As Mrs. Steaple began her lecture Selena let out a groan and muttered "would she just get on with it already. I want to claim my victory so we can move our little party upstairs."
Sebastian gave her a smile but hoped to god he wouldn't actually have to fuck her. He was only pretending to be interested in the little bitch because he knew it would hurt all the more when he finally did get revenge on her and she realized it was all an act. However he hadn't counted on having to go farther than a kiss with her. At this point Sebastian seriously doubted he would even be able to get it up for her.
"Ok now for what you've all been waiting for" Mrs. Steaple announced "this years winter queen is...Esteella Daniel's."
Selena who was already heading to the stage stopped in her tracks when she realized the name called wasn't hers. "What the fuck" she whispered. "How the hell did that happen?"
Sebastian was trying to repress the smile that desperately wanted to appear. "Esteella must be more popular than you thought" he answered.
She stared dangers up at the pretty red haired girl who was making her way to the stage. "Her? She's nobody just some idiot cheerleader. This should be my victory" Selena whined
He shrugged "oh well what are you going to do?"
"You" she hissed as she whipped around to face him. "You did this, you and that whore."
"Selena" he told her completely calm "there's no way I could have rigged the ballots and you know that."
"But Kathryn could have"
That was true and Sebastian was curious if she might have. He would have to find out later. Still completely calm he replied "she could have but do you honestly think Kathryn would risk everything just to win some stupid election she didn't care about in the first place?"
"I suppose you're right." She looked back up at the stage where Esteella was getting crowned. "This is so unfair I should be up there."
Rolling his eyes behind her back he sighed "let's just forget about it. How about a dance?"
* * * * * *
Later that night after dropping Selena off Sebastian headed over to Kathryn's. Even though he was exhausted from the dance and having to put up with Selena he wanted to see her and find out what she was up to. Using his key he entered the house and went to Kathryn's bedroom where he found her talking on the phone. She was sitting on her bed, wearing a black night gown and surrounded by paperwork.
Kathryn looked up when he came in and to his surprise didn't look particularly angry. "Yes Jared I need it by Saturday. That's perfect." Sebastian walked over to the bed and laid down letting his head rest in her lap. "Good bye Jared." She hung up the phone and looked down at him "well how was the party?"
He shook his head "I'm so tired."
"Have fun?" she asked with just a hint of nastiness.
"It was a fucking nightmare. I can't tell you how many times I nearly wanted to throttle that girl."
"But you didn't right?"
Sebastian sighed "no on the contrary I was very nice to her."
Kathryn's eyes narrowed at him "how nice?"
"I didn't fuck her" he told her with a smirk. "But I did get her to think I was starting to soften towards her."
"Good" she said as she twirled one of his blond curls around her finger.
"I don't suppose it would surprise you to know that Selena lost winter queen to Esteella Daniels?"
A small smile curled around her lips "not really. Did she freak out?"
"Almost. She started accusing us of being responsible but I cleared her mind of such thoughts. So how exactly did you pull that one off?"
"I have my ways"
Sebastian could just imagine what she had done, it probably concerned a little blackmail, manipulation and other things she was good at. Smiling at her Sebastian pulled her face gently down to him and gave her a kiss. When they pulled apart he told her "I'm sorry you had to miss the dance baby I know you wanted to go."
She shrugged "not really. Besides I kept myself busy."
"Oh yes" he sighed rolling his eyes "planning Selena's victory party."
"Victory party my ass" Kathryn snorted in disdain. "I did a little digging and I found out this party isn't to celebrate Selena's position, it's for the chancellor. He throws a meet and greet every year for the school board and parents. His aid is suppose to organize it, which is why the bitch handed off the assignment to me."
"Hardly surprising I get the feeling Selena likes to make things about her at all times."
"Well she's about to get her wish."
He stared at her curiously "what are you up to?"
Kathryn handed him a piece of paper "this was Selena's list of what she wanted done for the party."
Sebastian read down the list which ranged from flower arrangements to place settings. "So?"
"So" she pulled the paper from his hand and grabbed the lighter from her night side table. Kathryn set the list on fire and with a wicked grin explained "I've decided to change a few things."
"Ah" he said catching on. "Like?"
"Well I've decided to invite a few extra people. Cecile has been circulating a few invitations around at NYU."
Smiling he asked "how many is a few?"
Kathryn shrugged "ten, twenty, a hundred." Handing him a green flyer she said "take a look."
The neon colored flyer read in huge letters 'Dressed to Get Screwed Party!'. It gave the address of the Davis country estate, the time of the party and announced free alcohol. Sebastian's mouth fell open and he laughed "you're insane."
"What do you think?"
"Well it's brilliant but...if you do this she'll tell everyone about us you know that right?"
Kathryn sighed as she explained "while I was sitting here mulling over which floral arrangement to pick it suddenly occurred to me that I don't care anymore."
He grinned "because of me."
"No not because of you. I'm Kathryn Merteuil for crying out loud and I'll be damned if I'll let some California nit wit out smart me. I'm not letting her get away with blackmailing me so if people find out about us so be it."
"Huh...well your change of heart is a little bit due to me?"
Kathryn leaned forward and flicked her tongue over his lips. "Maybe a little bit" she whispered.
Sebastian pulled her to him and gave her a long deep kiss. As they fell back into bed he muttered "speaking of screwing..."
* * * * * *
"So I assume you planned everything accordingly dear" Mrs. Davis asked her daughter using her typical uppity tone.
Selena smoothed out her pale blue dress "of course mother." In actuality Selena hadn't planned a single thing she had left it in the hands of her personal slave Kathryn. The morning after the dance she had called Kathryn to make sure she had done everything she asked and she assured her she had.
Although Selena had planned to arrive at the country house early to make sure everything was perfect she got preoccupied making sure her dress was just right and didn't have time. However she wasn't worried because she knew Kathryn would make sure to do everything right because other wise she could kiss her already faltering reputation good bye.
As the Davis limo pulled up to the front of the house Selena noticed all the cars already there which was odd since the party was suppose to have started only five minutes ago. However she shrugged it off just assuming people showed up early. "Well I guess we aren't the first ones here" her mother said stiffly "that's good I suppose."
Before they could get inside however two more cars pulled in behind them. Headmaster Hardgrove stepped out of the first one and Mrs. Caldwell and her husband got out of there limo behind him. "Selena hello dear" the older women greeted her.
"Mrs. Caldwell" she said with a fake smile. She was in no mood for introductions she wanted to get inside. "Hello Headmaster Hardgrove I'm so glad you could make it."
The older man obviously found the statement strange because this was the chancellors party not Selena's. However he smiled "well I attend it every year Selena."
"We should get inside it's cold out here" her father said as he started for the house.
Everyone followed with Selena staying towards the back thinking about all the praise that was sure to follow thanks to all her hard work and 'planning'. However as they entered the house they weren't greeted by classical music and the usual society people. Instead the arrived at what appeared to be a cross between the playboy mansion and an orgy. Everywhere they looked people were dressed in underwear, lingerie or in some cases nothing at all. Two topless twin girl walked by holding hands and told them the bar was in the next room. Selena could say nothing, she just gasped at them in shock.
"Oh my god" she heard her mother exclaim behind her.
"What the hell is going on?" Hardgrove barked as he and everyone else looked over at Selena in shock.
"I-I" she stammered as she tried to come up with an explanation. Just then more people arrived looking confused as if they thought they might have wandered into the wrong party.
"I want an explanation now Selena" her father said sternly. "This is suppose to be a dignified party for the chancellor not an orgy!"
"Daddy I-I didn't plan it like this I swear."
"There you are baby" Sebastian greeted Selena with a grin. She looked over at him hoping for an explanation but instead found him dressed in a silk robe holding a martini. "Cute dress but it's a little formal don't you think?"
She gaped at him "what the hell is going on?"
"It's your party remember, you've be planning it for weeks." Letting his hand caress her cheek he grinned "have you been sampling Blain's stash already? Naughty girl"
"I did not plan this!"
"Of course you did. Remember you sent out the invitations"
"What invitations?"
Sebastian handed her the flyer and as she read it her mouth hung open. "Oh my god" she whispered as she realized she'd been set up.
"What's wrong?" Sebastian asked with mock sincerity.
Selena glared up at him but before she could start screaming a guy dressed in only his under wear came up to her and exclaimed "excellent party babe, thanks for the invite."
"I did not invite you!" She screamed only the guy paid no attention because he was far too busy barfing on her shoes.
Selena let out a loud scream as she jumped away. Looking up at Sebastian she struggled for words "you...you..."
Sebastian smiled as he caressed her arms and told her "relax ok. Just remember one thing" he leaned into her and whispered "you don't even compare to her."
He then strolled away with a cruel smile leaving her shaking in fury. Selena was so angry by his betrayal she paid no attention when her mother started yelling at her and the headmaster demanded answers. Instead she charged after Sebastian pushing past the party goers. "Don't you dare walk away from me!"
Sebastian continued to ignore her as he walked into another room. When Selena did catch up to him she grabbed his arm and turned him around to face her. Just then however Kathryn suddenly appeared. With a cat like prowl she approached them wearing a black lace negligée. "Hands off" she warned her as she pulled Selena's hand away from Sebastian.
"You" Selena hissed "you did this, all of it!"
"Did what?" Kathryn asked with mock innocence. "You told me to plan your party so I did."
"You set me up"
Sebastian wrapped his arms around Kathryn as a slow smile spread across her lips "yeah I guess I did but then again you made it so easy Selena. Did you really think I was going to just roll over and do as you said?"
Selena laughed coldly "it doesn't matter." Stepping closer to the couple she told them "you're finished with Kathryn. After tonight I'm going to tell everyone about you two."
To Selena's complete astonishment Kathryn whispered "go ahead."
"Excuse me?"
"I said tell whomever you want. Broadcast your little tape across the six o'clock news for all I care. After tonight do you really think anyone will believe you and even if they did I don't really care."
She shook her head trying to figure out what game Kathryn was playing. "B-but your reputation..."
"Fuck it" Kathryn said with a careless shrug. "I much rather see you ruined anyway."
Selena could say nothing, she only stared at them trying to think of a retort. Sebastian pulled his mouth away from Kathryn's neck long enough to tell her "you loose."
Kathryn giggled as she turned around and gave Sebastian a passionate kiss right there in public. As they pulled away she smiled at Selena and said "now if you'll excuse us."
Sebastian had resumed kissing her neck as they made their way to a back bedroom. "This isn't over with!" Selena screamed over the loud music that was blaring. "You won't get away with this!" However neither paid the slightest attention to her as they disappeared into the bedroom.
Standing in the middle of the party completely defeated Selena thought she was going to be sick. Everything had been going along perfectly so how did it fall apart in only a few minutes? She was about to head into the bedroom and scream some more at her enemies when some one stepped in front of her. It was the chancellor looking very angry and red faced. "Selena would you like to tell me just what the hell is going on!"
