Amanda went through the last week and a half of school quickly, she was
busy at home decorating and shopping with Scott for Christmas, Marty and
her were out partying on the weekends and the rest of her time was in to
homework or with her cat. Harry and her had lost time for their 'talks'
and such, mainly on the fault of Amanda. Remotely Harry would wait for her
after school watching the door well he did his marking and such but she
never came through it except for class and then she was wrapped up with her
friends discussing Christmas holiday plans.
Now it was New Year's Eve, Harry stood outside Club Runaway with his cousin, Kyle Brooks and his former colleague and friend Kevin Riley. It wasn't neccsarily Harry's idea of a night out but to shut up the two other men he went and he used it as an excuse to keep away from Ronnie who he had been avoiding like the plague. Harry looked around he really did feel out of place, everyone there was young, trendy and full of energy. In reality Harry wasn't much older than most people he just felt older. 'Oh well they have a bar, at least I can use that' thought Harry.

Around ten o'clock Amanda stood on a platform next to one of the large speakers dancing. She looked out over the crowd, things were a bit blurry from a few drinks she had but she could still spot Jessica and Karen out. Both were dancing with guys she couldn't recongize but as long as she had them in her eye sight she felt secure. Her hips moved rythymically with the music in her short black pleated skirt. She wore a black fish net shirt over top of a red bra and black knee high boots. Amanda closed her eyes as she moved to the music loosing herself in it.
After a few songs Amanda lost track of where her friends were, slowly she stepped down from the platform and moved through the crowd to the bar. Leaning over the counter she grabbed the bartender's arm.
"Smirchnoff,"yelled Amanda over the music. The bartender nodded and went to grab her one, it was one of the reasons they had picked Runaway as their New Year's spot, for a hundred bucks you got a party til four am and unlimited drinks plus they weren't too smart with fake ID's. The bartender handed Amanda her bottle opened, she nodded and smiled. Taking a sip of the bottle she looked around for any signs of Jessica and Karen, all she found were people moving and talking.
"Hey baby,"said a guy as Amanda passed his table. Amanda ignored him and continued looking for them. Finally she got upset and was getting worried because she was getting that alone feeling, she found an empty table and got up on it and looked around, finally in the corner on the other side she spotted Jessica's dark black hair. Amanda hopped down off the table a little wobble on her heels as she walked through the crowds pushing and shoving as she made her way to where she seen Jessica.
As she got closer she seen Jessica and Karen giggling insanely with the two men they had been dancing with a tall obviously fake blond leaning over another person sitting with them.
"Aje,"cried Karen drunkenly as they spotted her.
"Hey,"said Amanda as she approached the table.
"Hey girly,"said Jessica looking over from the guy she was with. Amanda looked over at the blond and seen who she was with, none other than Harry Senate was sitting there with his glum miserable expression plastered on his face.
"Harry brighten up, it's a new year,"said Amanda smiling. Harry looked up and seen Amanda standing there across the table from him. The blond and two other men's eyes came on her.
"Aje, Mr.Senate is here,"said Karen pointing at Harry.
"I know babe,"said Amanda smiling down at her drunk friend.
"Here Aje, have this,"said Karen,"Tequila." Amanda took the glass from Karen and took a few glups out of it chasing it down with her cooler.
"Aje, this is Kevin and Kyle,"said Jessica,"And you know Harry."
"Yeah,"said Amanda,"Who's blondie?" The girl obviously sensing some territory issues with Amanda sat down on Harry's lap who almost looked like she had thrown up on it instead as she did.
"I'm Beth,"said the blond,"Who are you?"
"AJ,"said Amanda before picking the tequila back up,"Karrie you mind if we switch?"
"No prob,"said Karen almost falling on Kyle.
"How do you know Harry?"asked Kyle smiling as Karen's antics.
"Aquainttences,"said Amanda knowing full well the two men with Karen and Jessica would be gone the minute high school was mentioned.
"Harry why won't you smile? Smile for me won't ya?"cooed Beth as she stroked Harry's cheek. Amanda stood there biting her lip and holding herself back from hauling Beth off of Harry's lap, 'stupid slut' thought Amanda. Harry just seemed to ignore her as he stared up at Amanda.
"Harry lighten up,"said Kyle,"Have fun." Amanda knew exactly was would put this Beth in her place. She placed her hand in the middle of the table then leaned over so her cleavage was hanging down in front of her.
"Hey Harry will you smile? You're so sexy when you smile,"said Amanda softly. Harry smiled as the booze took over. He wanted at that moment to push Beth away and pull Amanda to the table.
"Well we found the gifted one, she made him smile,"said Kevin raising his beer as Amanda stood back up.
"Sorry Beth guess Harry's not a barbie kinda guy,"said Kyle.
"I wanna dance now,"whined Karen tugging at Kyle's arm.
"Kay, sweetie we'll go dance,"said Kyle as Karen moved and slid out of the booth. Kyle followed. Jessica got up and pulled Kevin up with her, she leaned over to Amanda who still stood there.
"Don't worry about Bambi, he paid no attention to anything especially her,"said Jessica,"That is until you showed up." Amanda smiled and nodded at her friends' words.
"C'mon Beth you ain't getten no where with this guy tonight, he chose and you lost,"said Jessica. Beth sighed and gave Harry a cold shove as she climbed off his lap and out of the booth.
"Good luck,"said Jessica quietly to Amanda as Beth stormed off huffing "fag" at Harry. Amanda slowly sat in the booth letting the booze take a strong hold over her as she moved around til she was sitting right next to Harry.
"How did you end up here?"asked Amanda.
"Friends dragged me,"said Harry avoiding eye contact with her knowing if he looked at her in the eyes he'd loose all self control.
"So who's your friend Beth?"asked Amanda smiling knowing she was bugging him.
"She's not my friend,"said Harry grabbing for his beer,"Kyle brought her over, he thought she'd lighten me up." Amanda almost started laughing at him, he sounded like a little embrassed boy fessing up to loving his sister.
"Well she didn't do a very good job now did she,"said Amanda softly as the waitress came walking over to the table.
"Two more beers, and doubles of tequila,"said Amanda to her. She nodded and went back to the bar.
"How did you get in here? You're only eighteen,"said Harry.
"Fake Id's Harry, they go a long way,"said Amanda as she finished off her tequila then grabbed her cooler back to chase it.
"Ya know Harry that beer isn't going to drink itself,"said Amanda,"Ya got another one on the way."
"I know,"said Harry smiling as he took a sip.
"Ah c'mon Harry you a woman? I don't even take sips,"said Amanda laughing. Harry took another look at her then tipped the bottle to his lips and drank down the rest of the bottle.
"Happy?"asked Harry as he set the bottle on the table.
"Very,"said Amanda as the waitress came back with the drinks. She set the glasses and bottles on the table. Amanda nodded in thanks to her before she walked away.
"Okay Harry, you gotta do this shot,"said Amanda picking up her shot glass. Quickly she downed it then grabbed her beer bottle and took a gulp.
"Aren't you suppose to do that with salt and stuff?"asked Harry.
"That's what makes you sick, just chase it,"said Amanda smiling as she pulled her knees up under her and sat on them so she was taller than him. She took the other shot glass and held it up to him.
"I'm not a tequila kinda guy,"said Harry.
"C'mon Harry it's New Years have some fun,"smiled Amanda,"Here I'll lighten up your life." She took the shot glass and set it in her cleavage then moved over to Harry.
"C'mon Harry have some fun,"said Amanda smiling. Harry looked at her cautiously 'oh what the hell' thought Harry. He leaned down to her and wrapped his lips around the rim of the glass pulling it up out of her shirt then threw his head back and let the strong liquor roll down his tongue and throat. Following what Amanda had done he took his beer and chased the tequila with a gulp.
"Oh that was strong,"said Harry. Amanda found Jessica's pack of cigarettes on the table with the empty glasses. She picked it up and pulled out, putting it between her lips she leaned over to the table candle and lit it.
"So what's your resolution?"asked Amanda.
"Haven't got one,"said Harry.
"Yeah you're too perfect to change Harry,"said Amanda taking a puff off her cigarette,"Do you know how natural it is to hold a beer bottle with a cigarette, I tell ya there is nothing more natural. So anyways ya wanna know what mine is?"
"Sure,"said Harry.
"I am going to quit smoking for good,"said Amanda looking at her cigarette.
"That's good, but what are you doing with that one,"said Harry.
"Smoking silly,"said Amanda smiling insanely at him,"It's not midnight yet."
"So it isn't,"said Harry. Harry watched quietly as Amanda took another puff off her cigarette and moved in her seat to the music playing, he could tell she loved dancing, she couldn't even still well music was playing. Quietly her lips moved to the words as she moved. He tore his eyes away from Amanda and looked out over the dancing crowd, he spotted Jessica and Kevin dancing closely. He knew he shoulda said something about the girls age but it was nothing but kissing and some flirting, plus it was New Years' Eve and it's not like he could say he was being completely pure with Amanda.
Amanda coughed slightly getting Harry's attention back as she dumped her cigarette in a half full glass then took a drink from her beer. She looked Harry over, he was wearing a pair of slightly baggy jeans with a white button up shirt, 'not bad' thought Amanda, 'atleast it's a change from the formal stuff at school'. In a bold move Amanda slipped off her knees and back on to her bum then swung her legs over Harry's having them over his lap. Harry looked down at her legs, he wanted to touch them but he knew he shouldn't, 'damn why does she have to do this? why does she have to be here? why do I have to be drunk? why does she have to be drunk?' thought Harry biting his lips. He took another drink of his beer then looked over at her.
"I'm gonna need another beer soon,"said Amanda holding her beer up and looking at it. Amanda took another drink of her beer and smiled as she shook her head slightly messing up her hair slightly.
"You look beautiful,"said Harry. He wasn't sure if he really said that or not but he knew by the way she stared at him with big eyes perfectly still. 'Oh damn I shouldn't have said that' thought Harry.
"Ah Harry I know you think I'm pretty you told me before,"said Amanda smiling.
"I know but you're like unbelievable,"said Harry as he rested his hand on her lower calf. Amanda blushed slightly and looked down.
"Harry I'm attracted to you,"said Amanda before she could even stop her words. Harry looked at her thinking the same thing she had said. Blushed as she drug her face into her Harry's shoulder.
"Oh my god I never should've said that,"said Amanda in a crying voice. Harry smiled down at her as she sat there completely embrassed at what she had just said. Slowly against his better sense he lifted his hand up to her chin and moved her face away from his shoulder. Amanda looked up at him as he moved her head, her eyes sparkled as he moved closer down to her lips. Amanda was taken a bit back as Harry's lips met hers, she sat there still for a moment then raised her hand up to his neck.
'Damn what the hell am I doing? She is a student' Harry screamed at himself in his mind. Harry almost parted away from her but something told him not to. His hand slowly travelled up her leg until it sat on her upper thigh. Amanda pulled back slightly and rested her forehead against Harry's.
"I'm attracted to you too,"confessed Harry. Amanda smiled slightly as she ran her tongue along Harry's lips. She kissed his cheek then left a trail of kisses down to his neck where she start sucking on his sweet skin well running her tongue along taking in the sweet taste of his skin. Harry lost all sense, he now had her, the girl of his dreams, his hand travelled up her leg to his her. Amanda got risky and sat up straddling Harry's lap and slowly grinded herself into his hips as he hands held her lower hips tightly. Their lips met again, Harry was running his hands in long strokes down her thighs then back up them and over her well toned tummy. He moaned as she pressed herself against his now growing manhood as he could feel her thong getting wet. Giving up to self pleasure and forgetting taking things slow or who she was as a student or who her father was, Harry felt a blood rush to his head as Amanda rubbed her hands on his bare back from under the collar of his shirt. Shyly Harry inched his fingers to where he really wanted to be and where Amanda wanted him.
"Touch me Harry,"Amanda mumbled against his lips as she pressed her body tightly against his. With all permission Harry pushed his finger inside of her thong and ran his single finger along her womanhood causing her to moan into his mouth. At that moment they were the only two there, everyone else didn't matter they weren't there; no one was, the only two people in the world, the only two people who mattered were them. Harry felt like he was rising out of his body, he didn't know if it was the booze, or the desirable girl he had on his lap or a mixture of both but the faster his blood ran the more he long control of feeling. Nothing between them could feel wrong at that moment, they were connect.
Running his index finger in slow circles gentily applying pressure a round her clit, he carefully inserted two fingers into her. Amanda dug her fingers into his skin as she pushed herself farther down on to his fingers. At that moment Harry started pumping his fingers into her as her juices covered his fingers, Amanda drew away from the sloppy kiss that had formed and she dug her face into his neck covered by her hair. Harry could feel her hot short breathes on his neck and hear the soft panting and moans coming from her. Licking her tongue over his ear lobe she crawled at his back as she moaned.
"Oh god, faster Harry,"moaned Amanda as she bit into his ear, Harry grinned slightly as he lost his face in her hair, he had found the G-spot. A Utopia came over both of them as three months of sexual frustration and yearning for each other was disolved in sticky body fluid. Harry pumped his fingers faster into her as he felt her tighting even more around him. The sounds of her perfect girly toned breathy moans invaded his ears turned him on even more, without even having flesh touch him just the feeling of Amanda on him and the thought of her was bringing him to a high oragisim. He had his free on her back holding her securely to him. Amanda dug her nails deeply into Harry's skin as she reached her climax.
"I'm cumming Harry, don't let go,"breathed Amanda as she rested her forehead on his shoulder and let the pleasuring touch rack her body causing her to shiver under his touch. They both came a perfect stillness completely absent from the world and in their own little bubble protected from the realilty of the world and the bitter rule of thumb looming over them.
Slowly Harry pulled his fingers from her stroking her lightly a few more times then with both hands held her hips tightly not wanting to let her go. Amanda brought her forehead up to meet his and the two of them sat there staring into each other's eyes smiling.
"I wish things weren't the way they were,"said Harry softly.
"I know,"said Amanda.
"I could never think of being with someone else,"said Harry,"You've had a hold since I met you."
"I don't want to let go,"said Amanda,"I never will."
For the next half an hour the two just sat there sharing kisses and touches well holding each other. At the countdown to midnight they both clued into the reality around them, they listened and waited as the crowd loudly counted down.
"five, four, three, two, one."
Amanda pressed her lips to Harry's as the crowd shouted 'Happy New Year's'. Their tongues intertwined as their hands discovered and felt the warm flesh of the other. As they pulled back Amanda looked down at Harry and a sobering feeling washed over them as they realized what had just happened. Biting her lip conciously Amanda crawled off of Harry's lap and sat back away from him for a minute before getting up and moving out of the booth. Harry watched silently as she walked away from the table and lost herself in the crowd.
***
Amanda stood in the crowded bathroom at the sink, she turned on the cold water and splashed in on her face trying to sober herself up. 'Oh my god, what did I do? Harry?' thought Amanda in her drunk haze. She leaned over the counter and looked down at the running water.
"You and Harry have fun?" Amanda turned to see Beth at the counter next to her applying lipstick.
"Harry, he's my, he's uh,"said Amanda not knowing if she should tell this girl who Harry was,"He works with my father."
"Well good luck that guy is just a downer,"said Beth,"Good looking but ugh,"
"He just doesn't like bimbos that's all,"said Amanda bluntly.
"Pardon? Did you just call me a bimbo?"asked Beth.
"Oh fuck off,"said Amanda walking past her swiftly and back out into the club.
At four a.m. the crowds started flooding out into the street as the club was closing. The streets were filled with taxis, people were just piling into any taxi that was free weither they knew the people or not. Amanda was with Karen and Kyle as they looked around for Jessica.
"Jessi,"screamed Amanda.
"Jessi, Jessi, Jessi,"said Karen. All three of them were obviously drunk and hanging on to each other to stay up.
"Jessica where the hell are you?"screamed Amanda as Kyle helpped Karen into a cab. Amanda stood at the door and looked around she spotted Jessica with Kevin looking for a cab.
"Jessica,"yelled Amanda waving her arms around. They noticed her, she watched they took a bit then started making their way over. Amanda kept waving her arms to make them see where they were going.
"Hey girly,"said Jessica as they made their way over with Harry following close behind them.
"Hey baby, show us some titties,"laughed a guy passing with his friends to Amanda.
"Screw you,"spat Amanda back at him.
"C'mon baby you know you wanna give us some T & A,"said the guy drunk and obviously trying to show off for his friends as he walked over to her.
"Why don't you go home to your mommy for some,"said Amanda turning her back to him back to Jessica and the two men as they approached her and the cab.
"Look ya know ya wanna,"said the guy grabbing Amanda's arm.
"Fuck off,"screamed Amanda pulling her arm back. Before she could do anything else the guy was being slammed against the taxi by Harry who pushed through Jessica and Kevin to her defense.
"Don't touch her,"said Harry aggressively. Kevin and Kyle backed up behind him staring down at the the guy's friends who seen they'd weren't fooling so they backed off.
"Sorry dude, I didn't mean it,"said the guy scarred as Harry pressed the guy hard into the car.
"Harry,"said Amanda,"Let him go." Harry looked back at Amanda then at the guy, he pulled him off the taxi then shoved him away.
"C'mon let's go,"said Kevin as he helpped Jessica into the taxi. Amanda wrapped her jacket around her and went to step towards the axi and tripped on her heel and fell to the ground. Amanda started crying as pain shot through her ankle.
"Owie, it hurts,"cried Amanda as waved down at her ankle. Harry crouched down to her along with Kevin.
"Can you move it?"asked Kevin.
"Aje, you okay?"cried Jessica.
"It hurts,"wailed Amanda crying like a child now. Harry wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling her into him.
"Can you move your foot?"asked Kevin unzipping her boot. Carefully he pulled it off her foot. Softly he touched her ankle feeling for any damage.
"Move your foot,"said Harry softly rubbing her shoulder to sooth her.
"But it hurts,"cried Amanda.
"If you can move it then it isn't broken,"said Kevin softly,"It doesn't feel broken but you need to move it." Reluctantly Amanda moved her ankle slowly as pain shot through again.
"Ow, it hurts,"said Amanda busting out into a new set of tears.
"It's sprained,"said Kevin,"She'll need an ice pack."
"Well hey let's get out of here and back somewhere and fix her up,"said Kyle. Kevin nodded and threw her boot back into the taxi's back seat then had Kyle move over as Harry helpped Amanda up but she was struggling so he just put his arm under her legs and scooped her up as she sobbed into his shoulder. Carefully Harry took a seat in the back and Kevin got into the front.
"Aje, you okay?"asked Jessica.
"My ankle hurts,"said Amanda softly as she sat on Harry's lap
"Hey we'll go back to my place cause it's closer then we'll decide what to do,"said Kevin turnning around.
"How you feeling?"asked Harry softly as the taxi slowly drove through the crowd and Kevin told him his address.
"It hurts Mr.Senate,"whimpered Amanda softly in his ear.
"Harry, Aje, Harry,"said Harry rubbing her back softly. Amanda leaned back rested her head on his shoulder.
Twenty minutes later they were getting out of the taxi was Kevin's. Harry had Amanda in his arms as she softly slept. Jessica and Karen were a bit more sobered up as the followed Kevin through his complex and to his first level condo. He let them all in the dark place, he flicked on a light and walked through leading them to the living room.
"I'll grab her a sprain bandage,"said Kevin,"Set her in on the couch." Harry nodded and walked through the familar apartment. He set her down on the plush leather couch as she stirred.
"Is she going to be okay?"asked Karen in a worried voice knowing if they had to end up at the hospital they were all in trouble because she told her parents they were having a sleep over at Amanda's and they were okay because he was the vice-principal and her parents knew what a hard ass he was. Plus they had the fact that they were underage drinking, messing around with men over age, nevermind the fact that one was a former teacher and the other was a teacher. She hadn't seen Harry and Amanda but she knew by the way he flew at that guy who grabbed her and the protective way he had over her, but it wasn't like she was going to rat him out, she thought it was sweet, they looked like two school kids.
"Yeah,"nodded Kyle.
Kevin came back into the room from the bathroom with a sandy colored long bandage. He leaned over Amanda who was on the couch.
"Hey darling, wake up,"said Kevin shaking her. Amanda moaned as she stirred then opened her eyes yawning.
"Where am I?" asked Amanda in a cracky voice.
"At my house,"said Kevin,"Everyone else is here. I'm gonna wrap your ankle in a bandage." Amanda nodded as she sat up and looked around at everyone then at Harry who was squatted on the floor next to her. Kevin sat down on the couch and took Amanda's ankle in his lap then wrapped the bandage around it carefully not to hurt it.
"Are you a doctor?"asked Amanda.
"No, I use to a pysh ed teacher,"said Kevin softly. Amanda nodded as he clasped up the bandage.
"There, all done,"said Kevin smiling.
"Well now all the drama is over I'm going to have a cigarette,"said Jessica walking over to the patio sliding doors.
"Come get me,"said Amanda waving her over.
"You should try to stay off it,"said Kevin.
"I'll be fine,"reassured Amanda as Jessica held a hand out to her. She pulled Amanda up and stood on the side of her hurt foot and helpped her outside.
Harry slid back on to the couch and sat back.
"I need another beer,"said Kevin getting up.
"Same,"said Kyle,"Harry?"
"No,"said Harry shaking his head slightly. Both men left the room leaving Karen standing there awkwardly in front of Harry. Harry looked up and at that point it hit him, Karen was a student, a student in his class, someone who possibly was a witness to the night's events.
"Karen,"said Harry softly as the alcohol was wearing off.
"Don't worry Mr.Senate, Amanda is like my best friend I won't say a word,"said Karen,"I'll deny it to the grave." Harry nodded taking Karen's word sincerely, he had known Karen since she had come into Winslow and she was a honest loyal student.
"Thank you,"said Harry. Kyle and Kevin came walking back into the room with a beer in hand.
"Okay so you guys can crash here,"said Kevin,"What about the girls?"
"We'll catch a cab,"said Karen.
"Well you can crash here as well,"said Kevin.
"I dunno I'll ask the others,"said Karen shrugging knew she'd stay anywhere but home. Kevins shrugged and walked over to the patio doors and stuck his head out.
"You girls wanna crash here for the night?"asked Kevin.
"Sure,"shrugged Jessica butting out her cigarette. Amanda took another puff off of hers then went back in with the help of Jessica. Amanda sat on the couch next to Harry but they were a few inches apart.
Slowly Jessica and Kevin dissappeared to the bedroom and Kyle and Karen passed out on the floor. Amanda sat there on the couch with her leg up opposite of Harry watching TV and eating peanuts. Harry's eyes were glued to the TV, he didn't want to even look at her for fear of what would happen. He twitched a bit as he felt something softly hit his arm, brushing it off to the side effects of the alcohol. Again he felt the object hit him then a softly giggle. He looked over at Amanda smiling at him as she popped another peanut in her mouth.
"I'm going to sleep,"said Amanda swinging her legs off the couch. She around then laided back down on the couch with her head in Harry's lap facing the TV. Closing her eyes she immediately started drifting off to sleep, just before she fell unconcious she felt Harry softly stroking her hair.
Now it was New Year's Eve, Harry stood outside Club Runaway with his cousin, Kyle Brooks and his former colleague and friend Kevin Riley. It wasn't neccsarily Harry's idea of a night out but to shut up the two other men he went and he used it as an excuse to keep away from Ronnie who he had been avoiding like the plague. Harry looked around he really did feel out of place, everyone there was young, trendy and full of energy. In reality Harry wasn't much older than most people he just felt older. 'Oh well they have a bar, at least I can use that' thought Harry.

"Don't worry about Bambi, he paid no attention to anything especially her,"said Jessica,"That is until you showed up." Amanda smiled and nodded at her friends' words.
"C'mon Beth you ain't getten no where with this guy tonight, he chose and you lost,"said Jessica. Beth sighed and gave Harry a cold shove as she climbed off his lap and out of the booth.

"So who's your friend Beth?"asked Amanda smiling knowing she was bugging him.
"She's not my friend,"said Harry grabbing for his beer,"Kyle brought her over, he thought she'd lighten me up." Amanda almost started laughing at him, he sounded like a little embrassed boy fessing up to loving his sister.
"Well she didn't do a very good job now did she,"said Amanda softly as the waitress came walking over to the table.
"Two more beers, and doubles of tequila,"said Amanda to her. She nodded and went back to the bar.

"Aren't you suppose to do that with salt and stuff?"asked Harry.
"That's what makes you sick, just chase it,"said Amanda smiling as she pulled her knees up under her and sat on them so she was taller than him. She took the other shot glass and held it up to him.
"I'm not a tequila kinda guy,"said Harry.
"C'mon Harry it's New Years have some fun,"smiled Amanda,"Here I'll lighten up your life." She took the shot glass and set it in her cleavage then moved over to Harry.
"C'mon Harry have some fun,"said Amanda smiling. Harry looked at her cautiously 'oh what the hell' thought Harry. He leaned down to her and wrapped his lips around the rim of the glass pulling it up out of her shirt then threw his head back and let the strong liquor roll down his tongue and throat. Following what Amanda had done he took his beer and chased the tequila with a gulp.
"Oh that was strong,"said Harry. Amanda found Jessica's pack of cigarettes on the table with the empty glasses. She picked it up and pulled out, putting it between her lips she leaned over to the table candle and lit it.
"So what's your resolution?"asked Amanda.
"Haven't got one,"said Harry.
"Yeah you're too perfect to change Harry,"said Amanda taking a puff off her cigarette,"Do you know how natural it is to hold a beer bottle with a cigarette, I tell ya there is nothing more natural. So anyways ya wanna know what mine is?"
"Sure,"said Harry.
"I am going to quit smoking for good,"said Amanda looking at her cigarette.
"That's good, but what are you doing with that one,"said Harry.
"Smoking silly,"said Amanda smiling insanely at him,"It's not midnight yet."
"So it isn't,"said Harry. Harry watched quietly as Amanda took another puff off her cigarette and moved in her seat to the music playing, he could tell she loved dancing, she couldn't even still well music was playing. Quietly her lips moved to the words as she moved. He tore his eyes away from Amanda and looked out over the dancing crowd, he spotted Jessica and Kevin dancing closely. He knew he shoulda said something about the girls age but it was nothing but kissing and some flirting, plus it was New Years' Eve and it's not like he could say he was being completely pure with Amanda.
Amanda coughed slightly getting Harry's attention back as she dumped her cigarette in a half full glass then took a drink from her beer. She looked Harry over, he was wearing a pair of slightly baggy jeans with a white button up shirt, 'not bad' thought Amanda, 'atleast it's a change from the formal stuff at school'. In a bold move Amanda slipped off her knees and back on to her bum then swung her legs over Harry's having them over his lap. Harry looked down at her legs, he wanted to touch them but he knew he shouldn't, 'damn why does she have to do this? why does she have to be here? why do I have to be drunk? why does she have to be drunk?' thought Harry biting his lips. He took another drink of his beer then looked over at her.
"I'm gonna need another beer soon,"said Amanda holding her beer up and looking at it. Amanda took another drink of her beer and smiled as she shook her head slightly messing up her hair slightly.
"You look beautiful,"said Harry. He wasn't sure if he really said that or not but he knew by the way she stared at him with big eyes perfectly still. 'Oh damn I shouldn't have said that' thought Harry.
"Ah Harry I know you think I'm pretty you told me before,"said Amanda smiling.
"I know but you're like unbelievable,"said Harry as he rested his hand on her lower calf. Amanda blushed slightly and looked down.
"Harry I'm attracted to you,"said Amanda before she could even stop her words. Harry looked at her thinking the same thing she had said. Blushed as she drug her face into her Harry's shoulder.
"Oh my god I never should've said that,"said Amanda in a crying voice. Harry smiled down at her as she sat there completely embrassed at what she had just said. Slowly against his better sense he lifted his hand up to her chin and moved her face away from his shoulder. Amanda looked up at him as he moved her head, her eyes sparkled as he moved closer down to her lips. Amanda was taken a bit back as Harry's lips met hers, she sat there still for a moment then raised her hand up to his neck.
'Damn what the hell am I doing? She is a student' Harry screamed at himself in his mind. Harry almost parted away from her but something told him not to. His hand slowly travelled up her leg until it sat on her upper thigh. Amanda pulled back slightly and rested her forehead against Harry's.
"I'm attracted to you too,"confessed Harry. Amanda smiled slightly as she ran her tongue along Harry's lips. She kissed his cheek then left a trail of kisses down to his neck where she start sucking on his sweet skin well running her tongue along taking in the sweet taste of his skin. Harry lost all sense, he now had her, the girl of his dreams, his hand travelled up her leg to his her. Amanda got risky and sat up straddling Harry's lap and slowly grinded herself into his hips as he hands held her lower hips tightly. Their lips met again, Harry was running his hands in long strokes down her thighs then back up them and over her well toned tummy. He moaned as she pressed herself against his now growing manhood as he could feel her thong getting wet. Giving up to self pleasure and forgetting taking things slow or who she was as a student or who her father was, Harry felt a blood rush to his head as Amanda rubbed her hands on his bare back from under the collar of his shirt. Shyly Harry inched his fingers to where he really wanted to be and where Amanda wanted him.
"Touch me Harry,"Amanda mumbled against his lips as she pressed her body tightly against his. With all permission Harry pushed his finger inside of her thong and ran his single finger along her womanhood causing her to moan into his mouth. At that moment they were the only two there, everyone else didn't matter they weren't there; no one was, the only two people in the world, the only two people who mattered were them. Harry felt like he was rising out of his body, he didn't know if it was the booze, or the desirable girl he had on his lap or a mixture of both but the faster his blood ran the more he long control of feeling. Nothing between them could feel wrong at that moment, they were connect.
Running his index finger in slow circles gentily applying pressure a round her clit, he carefully inserted two fingers into her. Amanda dug her fingers into his skin as she pushed herself farther down on to his fingers. At that moment Harry started pumping his fingers into her as her juices covered his fingers, Amanda drew away from the sloppy kiss that had formed and she dug her face into his neck covered by her hair. Harry could feel her hot short breathes on his neck and hear the soft panting and moans coming from her. Licking her tongue over his ear lobe she crawled at his back as she moaned.
"Oh god, faster Harry,"moaned Amanda as she bit into his ear, Harry grinned slightly as he lost his face in her hair, he had found the G-spot. A Utopia came over both of them as three months of sexual frustration and yearning for each other was disolved in sticky body fluid. Harry pumped his fingers faster into her as he felt her tighting even more around him. The sounds of her perfect girly toned breathy moans invaded his ears turned him on even more, without even having flesh touch him just the feeling of Amanda on him and the thought of her was bringing him to a high oragisim. He had his free on her back holding her securely to him. Amanda dug her nails deeply into Harry's skin as she reached her climax.
"I'm cumming Harry, don't let go,"breathed Amanda as she rested her forehead on his shoulder and let the pleasuring touch rack her body causing her to shiver under his touch. They both came a perfect stillness completely absent from the world and in their own little bubble protected from the realilty of the world and the bitter rule of thumb looming over them.
Slowly Harry pulled his fingers from her stroking her lightly a few more times then with both hands held her hips tightly not wanting to let her go. Amanda brought her forehead up to meet his and the two of them sat there staring into each other's eyes smiling.
"I wish things weren't the way they were,"said Harry softly.
"I know,"said Amanda.
"I could never think of being with someone else,"said Harry,"You've had a hold since I met you."
"I don't want to let go,"said Amanda,"I never will."
For the next half an hour the two just sat there sharing kisses and touches well holding each other. At the countdown to midnight they both clued into the reality around them, they listened and waited as the crowd loudly counted down.
"five, four, three, two, one."
Amanda pressed her lips to Harry's as the crowd shouted 'Happy New Year's'. Their tongues intertwined as their hands discovered and felt the warm flesh of the other. As they pulled back Amanda looked down at Harry and a sobering feeling washed over them as they realized what had just happened. Biting her lip conciously Amanda crawled off of Harry's lap and sat back away from him for a minute before getting up and moving out of the booth. Harry watched silently as she walked away from the table and lost herself in the crowd.
***
Amanda stood in the crowded bathroom at the sink, she turned on the cold water and splashed in on her face trying to sober herself up. 'Oh my god, what did I do? Harry?' thought Amanda in her drunk haze. She leaned over the counter and looked down at the running water.
"You and Harry have fun?" Amanda turned to see Beth at the counter next to her applying lipstick.
"Harry, he's my, he's uh,"said Amanda not knowing if she should tell this girl who Harry was,"He works with my father."
"Well good luck that guy is just a downer,"said Beth,"Good looking but ugh,"
"He just doesn't like bimbos that's all,"said Amanda bluntly.
"Pardon? Did you just call me a bimbo?"asked Beth.
"Oh fuck off,"said Amanda walking past her swiftly and back out into the club.
At four a.m. the crowds started flooding out into the street as the club was closing. The streets were filled with taxis, people were just piling into any taxi that was free weither they knew the people or not. Amanda was with Karen and Kyle as they looked around for Jessica.
"Jessi,"screamed Amanda.
"Jessi, Jessi, Jessi,"said Karen. All three of them were obviously drunk and hanging on to each other to stay up.
"Jessica where the hell are you?"screamed Amanda as Kyle helpped Karen into a cab. Amanda stood at the door and looked around she spotted Jessica with Kevin looking for a cab.
"Jessica,"yelled Amanda waving her arms around. They noticed her, she watched they took a bit then started making their way over. Amanda kept waving her arms to make them see where they were going.
"Hey girly,"said Jessica as they made their way over with Harry following close behind them.
"Hey baby, show us some titties,"laughed a guy passing with his friends to Amanda.
"Screw you,"spat Amanda back at him.
"C'mon baby you know you wanna give us some T & A,"said the guy drunk and obviously trying to show off for his friends as he walked over to her.
"Why don't you go home to your mommy for some,"said Amanda turning her back to him back to Jessica and the two men as they approached her and the cab.
"Look ya know ya wanna,"said the guy grabbing Amanda's arm.
"Fuck off,"screamed Amanda pulling her arm back. Before she could do anything else the guy was being slammed against the taxi by Harry who pushed through Jessica and Kevin to her defense.
"Don't touch her,"said Harry aggressively. Kevin and Kyle backed up behind him staring down at the the guy's friends who seen they'd weren't fooling so they backed off.
"Sorry dude, I didn't mean it,"said the guy scarred as Harry pressed the guy hard into the car.
"Harry,"said Amanda,"Let him go." Harry looked back at Amanda then at the guy, he pulled him off the taxi then shoved him away.
"C'mon let's go,"said Kevin as he helpped Jessica into the taxi. Amanda wrapped her jacket around her and went to step towards the axi and tripped on her heel and fell to the ground. Amanda started crying as pain shot through her ankle.
"Owie, it hurts,"cried Amanda as waved down at her ankle. Harry crouched down to her along with Kevin.
"Can you move it?"asked Kevin.
"Aje, you okay?"cried Jessica.
"It hurts,"wailed Amanda crying like a child now. Harry wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling her into him.
"Can you move your foot?"asked Kevin unzipping her boot. Carefully he pulled it off her foot. Softly he touched her ankle feeling for any damage.
"Move your foot,"said Harry softly rubbing her shoulder to sooth her.
"But it hurts,"cried Amanda.
"If you can move it then it isn't broken,"said Kevin softly,"It doesn't feel broken but you need to move it." Reluctantly Amanda moved her ankle slowly as pain shot through again.
"Ow, it hurts,"said Amanda busting out into a new set of tears.
"It's sprained,"said Kevin,"She'll need an ice pack."
"Well hey let's get out of here and back somewhere and fix her up,"said Kyle. Kevin nodded and threw her boot back into the taxi's back seat then had Kyle move over as Harry helpped Amanda up but she was struggling so he just put his arm under her legs and scooped her up as she sobbed into his shoulder. Carefully Harry took a seat in the back and Kevin got into the front.
"Aje, you okay?"asked Jessica.
"My ankle hurts,"said Amanda softly as she sat on Harry's lap
"Hey we'll go back to my place cause it's closer then we'll decide what to do,"said Kevin turnning around.
"How you feeling?"asked Harry softly as the taxi slowly drove through the crowd and Kevin told him his address.
"It hurts Mr.Senate,"whimpered Amanda softly in his ear.
"Harry, Aje, Harry,"said Harry rubbing her back softly. Amanda leaned back rested her head on his shoulder.
Twenty minutes later they were getting out of the taxi was Kevin's. Harry had Amanda in his arms as she softly slept. Jessica and Karen were a bit more sobered up as the followed Kevin through his complex and to his first level condo. He let them all in the dark place, he flicked on a light and walked through leading them to the living room.
"I'll grab her a sprain bandage,"said Kevin,"Set her in on the couch." Harry nodded and walked through the familar apartment. He set her down on the plush leather couch as she stirred.
"Is she going to be okay?"asked Karen in a worried voice knowing if they had to end up at the hospital they were all in trouble because she told her parents they were having a sleep over at Amanda's and they were okay because he was the vice-principal and her parents knew what a hard ass he was. Plus they had the fact that they were underage drinking, messing around with men over age, nevermind the fact that one was a former teacher and the other was a teacher. She hadn't seen Harry and Amanda but she knew by the way he flew at that guy who grabbed her and the protective way he had over her, but it wasn't like she was going to rat him out, she thought it was sweet, they looked like two school kids.
"Yeah,"nodded Kyle.
Kevin came back into the room from the bathroom with a sandy colored long bandage. He leaned over Amanda who was on the couch.
"Hey darling, wake up,"said Kevin shaking her. Amanda moaned as she stirred then opened her eyes yawning.
"Where am I?" asked Amanda in a cracky voice.
"At my house,"said Kevin,"Everyone else is here. I'm gonna wrap your ankle in a bandage." Amanda nodded as she sat up and looked around at everyone then at Harry who was squatted on the floor next to her. Kevin sat down on the couch and took Amanda's ankle in his lap then wrapped the bandage around it carefully not to hurt it.
"Are you a doctor?"asked Amanda.
"No, I use to a pysh ed teacher,"said Kevin softly. Amanda nodded as he clasped up the bandage.
"There, all done,"said Kevin smiling.
"Well now all the drama is over I'm going to have a cigarette,"said Jessica walking over to the patio sliding doors.
"Come get me,"said Amanda waving her over.
"You should try to stay off it,"said Kevin.
"I'll be fine,"reassured Amanda as Jessica held a hand out to her. She pulled Amanda up and stood on the side of her hurt foot and helpped her outside.
Harry slid back on to the couch and sat back.
"I need another beer,"said Kevin getting up.
"Same,"said Kyle,"Harry?"
"No,"said Harry shaking his head slightly. Both men left the room leaving Karen standing there awkwardly in front of Harry. Harry looked up and at that point it hit him, Karen was a student, a student in his class, someone who possibly was a witness to the night's events.
"Karen,"said Harry softly as the alcohol was wearing off.
"Don't worry Mr.Senate, Amanda is like my best friend I won't say a word,"said Karen,"I'll deny it to the grave." Harry nodded taking Karen's word sincerely, he had known Karen since she had come into Winslow and she was a honest loyal student.
"Thank you,"said Harry. Kyle and Kevin came walking back into the room with a beer in hand.
"Okay so you guys can crash here,"said Kevin,"What about the girls?"
"We'll catch a cab,"said Karen.
"Well you can crash here as well,"said Kevin.
"I dunno I'll ask the others,"said Karen shrugging knew she'd stay anywhere but home. Kevins shrugged and walked over to the patio doors and stuck his head out.
"You girls wanna crash here for the night?"asked Kevin.
"Sure,"shrugged Jessica butting out her cigarette. Amanda took another puff off of hers then went back in with the help of Jessica. Amanda sat on the couch next to Harry but they were a few inches apart.
Slowly Jessica and Kevin dissappeared to the bedroom and Kyle and Karen passed out on the floor. Amanda sat there on the couch with her leg up opposite of Harry watching TV and eating peanuts. Harry's eyes were glued to the TV, he didn't want to even look at her for fear of what would happen. He twitched a bit as he felt something softly hit his arm, brushing it off to the side effects of the alcohol. Again he felt the object hit him then a softly giggle. He looked over at Amanda smiling at him as she popped another peanut in her mouth.
"I'm going to sleep,"said Amanda swinging her legs off the couch. She around then laided back down on the couch with her head in Harry's lap facing the TV. Closing her eyes she immediately started drifting off to sleep, just before she fell unconcious she felt Harry softly stroking her hair.
