Chapter 8: Party Time
Summary: Kathryn, James, Sebastian and Annette all attend Blain's party were Kathryn puts her scheme into motion.
"Hey there you are. I was starting to think you ditched me" Kathryn whispered in James ear as he came up behind her.
She could feel him grin against her neck "no such luck. Finding a parking spot around here is impossible. Is it always like this?"
"Blain's party's usually are pretty crowded" she told him as she surveyed the scene before her. Kathryn had arrived at Blain's house almost an hour ago and had been waiting for James to arrive. He had called her earlier that night and asked if she wanted to get together for a private dinner. The truth was she didn't want to be alone with him and so she suggested Blain's party instead. Actually she told him she had already promised Blain she would come so she had to.
It wasn't that she didn't like James, in fact she like him a lot. If Sebastian hadn't...well started acting more like himself she might have decided against her plans of trying to break up him and Annette. But then he kissed her the other night and everything seemed to change. It had been incredible but neither seemed to know what to do about it so they had been ignoring each other for the past few days. Just being around James was making Kathryn feel guilt though she didn't know what she felt more guilty about. Cheating on James with Sebastian or still seeing James when something obviously was going on with her and Sebastian. In the end she just decided to go through with her plans. Fuck the consequences.
Kathryn turned to face her date "so have you given any thought to my request?"
James pulled a drink off the bar "what request would that be?"
She rolled her eyes he knew damn well what she was talking about. Ever since she had asked him about it he had been avoiding giving her an answer. "You know what I'm talking about James. Are you going to help me with Annette or do I have to get someone else to bang her for me?"
He set her with a curious gaze "that sounds an awful lot like a threat."
Kathryn shrugged "it's the truth. Are you in or are you out?"
James looked like he was about to say something but then he looked over her shoulder at something. "Well speak of the devil."
"What?" She asked as she turned around at the same time Sebastian and Annette walked into the room hand in hand. Sebastian was saying hello to someone and then look in her direction. His smile fell as James wrapped an arm around her.
"I take it you didn't know he was coming?"
"No I didn't" she said her eyes still very much on Sebastian. Kathryn then turned back to James "it doesn't matter though." Smiling she said "in fact this might be the perfect place for your little seduction of Dorothy."
"Wait a minute did I agree-"
"James" she said in a frustrated sigh "we both know your going to do it so why are you dragging it out?"
He rolled his eyes "all right what's this plan of yours?"
Kathryn smirked "well its actually quite simple."
* * * * * *
Across the room Sebastian couldn't take his eyes off of Kathryn and James who were now whispering in one anthers ear. "Jesus Christ" he grumbled as he took another shot. It was his fifth in less than fifteen minutes.
Annette had noticed that his attentions seemed else where and his drinking wasn't helping. "Sebastian I think you should watch it with that stuff."
Without even looking at her he snarled "thanks mom." She glared at him as she pulled the drink out of his hand. "Hey!" He protested loudly.
"That's enough Sebastian. God what is wrong with you tonight?"
"Nothing" he said as he looked back at Kathryn and grabbed another shot.
Annette noticed were he was starting and wasn't surprised in the least that it was in Kathryn's direction. "Right that's why your eyes have been glued to Kathryn all night."
He turned to her and scoffed loudly. "That's not true. Why does everything have to come back to Kathryn?"
"That's what I'd like to know. Is there...is there something going on between you two?"
As soon as she said it Sebastian flashed back to the morning in Kathryn's room when they kissed. It was all he that he had been thinking about the past few days. He couldn't get that vision of her standing in his arms in only her underwear out of his head. After it happened he was sure Kathryn and him would get together only she had pretty much been ignoring him in favor of hanging out with James. Suddenly he realized Annette was calling his name "what?"
She rolled her eyes "have you heard anything I've said to you?"
"Will you get off my back!" He nearly screamed.
A hurt look came over her face and she said whispered "fine your on your own."
"Great" he grumbled as he turned back to Kathryn but she was gone.

Later that night Kathryn and James emerged from one of the bedrooms on the second floor. After he had agreed to help her with the Annette problem Kathryn had offered him a reward of sorts. Actually she offered to fuck him silly upstairs while she told him what she wanted him to do. Of course he had happily agreed and after they had both come Kathryn laid down exactly what he was to do.
As they exited the room Kathryn fixed the straps on her dress and made sure she looked presentable. "Well what have you two been up to?"
Kathryn looked up and smirked at Blain who was wearing a smoking jacket and carrying a martini. "None of your damn business."
"Oh fair enough" he said as he glanced past her at James. "Well hello you must be the infamous James. Blain Tuttle."
James smiled "good to meet you. Nice house."
"Thank you"
"Yes it's amazing that junkies pay so well" Kathryn scoffed.
Blain smirked "yes you alone must have covered half of it Kathryn."
She gave him a sarcastic smile "well speaking of witch...you wouldn't happen to have any new merchandise in would you?"
"Possibly"
Kathryn turned back to James and said "this might be a good time to take care of that little problem we were discussing."
He nodded "I'll go do that. Nice to meet you Blain."
"Ta" Blain waved as he walked away. Both Kathryn and him checked out his ass as he walked away. "Well he's certainly yummy isn't he?"
She smiled "mmm hmm."
"But you do realize your not fooling anyone."
Kathryn turned to him confused by the comment. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Oh come on Kathryn don't tell me your not using the Sebastian clone to get back at him."
She sighed as she walked over to the balcony that over looked the gigantic living room. "I don't know what your talking about."
"Ok" he said joining her "if you want to play that game. Here you should enjoy this."
Kathryn took the clear bag he was handing her that contained a familiar white powder. "The usual cost?" He nodded as she took out a wad of cash from her small purse and handed it to him.
"Thank you. Now if I may I would like to give you a little advice."
She rolled her eyes "if you must."
"He won't replace Sebastian."
"Who said I was trying to?"
Blain shook his head at her "in the end your going to have to pick one or the other so be careful who you choose. Either way someone is bound to get hurt."
Kathryn turned to him with a smirk "isn't that the fun part?"
Blain just smiled and said "see you around Kathryn."
As he left her gaze fell down below and eventually landed on Sebastian. He was drinking and flirting with two girls who were very much not Annette. That's interesting she thought. As if on cue a pretty blond named Amber approached her "umm Kathryn?"
Kathryn turned to the girl who was in her bio class. James hadn't been the only person she had agreed to meet at the party. After she hung up with James she called Amber and made arrangements to meet so she could help her lure Sebastian away that night. However as she noticed it might not be that hard after all. Annette wasn't even around.
"So what do you want me to do?" He asked and Kathryn could tell the girl already had a slight buzz going. On occasion she asked Amber to help her out when she needed something done. Amber always more than happily agreed because of all the dirt Kathryn had on her and because being friends with her could boost her popularity.
Gesturing down to Sebastian she said "I want you to get Sebastian alone. Flirt with him and then take him to the downstairs bedroom."
Amber smiled "what about Annette?"
"She won't give you any trouble, now do it."
Amber quickly left and Kathryn watched as she made bee line for Sebastian. As she watched the show below her unfold she soon spotted Annette standing on the other side of the room looking very unhappy. As she expected Amber worked fast and in a matter on minutes Sebastian was all but letting her pull him towards the bedroom.
Kathryn got nervous when she noticed Annette start to follow them. She was worried she would stop them but Amber was faster than she looked and she pulled Sebastian into the room just as Annette arrived.
The petite blond just stood there in front of the door with this shocked look on her face. She looked like she was going to break down in tears any moment. However less than a minute later James showed up behind her and said something in her ear. Kathryn watched as they talked for a few minutes. Soon James took her by the hand and led her to another bedroom. As he did he looked up at Kathryn and gave her a small reassuring smile.
As soon as they disappeared into the room Kathryn's grin broadened and she made her way downstairs. The reason she had Amber pull Sebastian away was because she didn't want Annette or James for that matter getting suspicious. The truth was she was planning on getting rid of Amber so she and Sebastian could be alone. There were some question she had for her dear brother.
