Chapter Seven
When Kesia arrived at Jarrett's place, there were cars parked all over, but as it was the suburbs, nobody was calling the cops complaining about loud music.
Kesia squeezed her Honda in between two cars parked in front of the house.
When Kesia got out of her car, Jarrett walked over and greeted her with a smile.
"So, you ready to party?" Jarrett asked excitedly.
"Ready when you are," she replied grinning at him.
"Well, then just follow me," Jarrett said.
Kesia followed Jarrett up the lawn to the front door. Jarrett opened the door and Sean Paul's 'Like Glue' blasted through Kesia's ears. Jarrett closed the door behind her.
"STAY HERE! I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!" Jarrett yelled over the music.
"OKAY!" Kesia yelled back.
Kesia looked around the room at the people dancing and drinking. She didn't see or recognize anyone. They were all probably at least four to six years older than she was. Kesia knew she was probably the youngest one there.
Two minutes later, Jarrett came back with a Corona in his left hand and a Smirnoff Ice in his right.
"Whatever one you don't pick, I'll drink," Jarrett said holding the two bottles out to her.
Kesia looked from the Corona to the Smirnoff. She knew she wasn't aloud to drink, but this was her time, her party. There was nobody around to tell her she couldn't.
Kesia grabbed the Smirnoff out of Jarrett's hand and took a big gulp. It actually didn't taste that bad.
"Thirsty are we?" Jarrett asked watching her with interest.
"Just what I needed,' Kesia replied smiling. 'But there is something else I need too."
"What?" Jarrett asked curiously.
"Dance," Kesia replied grabbing Jarrett's shirt and pulling him onto the dance floor.
"I guess you're quite the partier," Jarrett whispered in her ear.
"I told you I needed a good party," Kesia replied turning around and taking Jarrett's arm and wrapping it around her waist.
A few minutes later, Jarrett noticed that both him and Kesia had finished their drinks.
"Hey, I'm going to go grab us some more drinks. I'll be right back," Jarrett said weaving in and out of the crowd.
"Okay," Kesia replied handing him her empty bottle.
Jarrett made his way through the crowd and then headed to the kitchen to grab the drinks.
Jarrett spotted the huge bucket cooler holding the drinks on the kitchen table. He was just about to grab two, when his friend Xander came over and greeted him.
"Jarrett my man. What's happenin' brotha?" Xander said while doing 'the manly handshake thing' with Jarrett.
"Yo, Xander. Yeah, notin' much. Just hangin' out, having a good time," Jarrett replied coolly.
"Umm, yeah I see that,' Xander replied staring over Jarrett's shoulder at Kesia, who was dancing in the middle of a circle surrounded be cute guys. 'Who's the hot chick?" Xander asked curiously.
"Oh, her name's Kesia. I bumped into her at the street race and then I invited her here," Jarrett replied turning his head around and looking at Kesia.
"Why is it you always get the good catch? Well thank God she's not blonde. The blondes are always on you. I'll give it to you this time man, but if you don't get her, I want her," Xander said jokingly.
"I doubt that, but yeah, ya never know. Hey, I gotta be gettin' back to Kesia, so I'll catch you later," Jarrett replied, doing 'the handshake' with Xander again.
"Okay man," Xander replied leaving the kitchen.
Jarrett reached over to the bucket cooler and pulled out another Corona and a Smirnoff. She shook off the water and headed back to the dance floor.
When Kesia spotted Jarrett she smiled gleefully. Jarrett grinned back and handed her the Smirnoff. Kesia took it from him, popped the top and took a mouthful.
"Thanks," she yelled over the music.
"No problem," Jarrett yelled back, while moving behind and placing his left arm around her waist, pulling her close. He thought she'd pull away, but she stayed where she was, dancing in his arms.
When Lil' Kim's 'The Jump Off' ended, the DJ announced that a bump and grind contest was going to start in a two minutes.
Kesia turned around to face Jarrett. She had a huge smile on her face and she was hyper.
"Oh my god! I'm definitely going in that contest.and you're going to be my partner," Kesia said excitedly.
"Kesia, are you sure about this? I mean, I don't mind, but."
"But what? Too scared to see what I can do?" Kesia said placing her hands in the back pockets of his jeans.
"Hell no! I wanna see what you and I can do together," Jarrett replied smiling at her.
"Then you'll do it, for me?" Kesia asked giving Jarrett her 'sad puppy face', which worked every time, even with Dom and the gang.
"For sure. I'd never miss a chance to dance with a girl like you," Jarrett replied pulling her closer to him.
"Ooh, I think I have a new best friend," Kesia said, winking at him.
After that the DJ came back on and announced that the contest was going to start. All of the couples, who were entering the contest, headed towards the dance floor. There were only four couples, including Kesia and Jarrett. Kesia grabbed Jarrett by the hand and pulled him onto the dance floor. Jarrett laughed at how excited Kesia was.
When they reached the middle of the dance floor, Jarrett noticed that Xander was also doing the contest, but his partner was Jarrett's ex- girlfriend Kylie. When Kylie spotted Jarrett and Kesia, she gave them a disgusted look, but Kesia, who had noticed Jarrett looking at them, only threw it back at her. Jarrett knew what Kylie was saying without moving her lips. "You choose that hoe over me? How dare you?"
Kylie looked Kesia up and down and then looked in a different direction.
Just then, the song they had to bump and grind to came on. It was Busta Rhymes 'I Know What You Want'. As soon as the music hit Kesia's ears, her eyes lit up. She smiled up at Jarrett and then they both started dancing. Kesia turned around with her back facing Jarrett. Jarrett wrapped his arms around her waist and Kesia started grinding her ass. Then Jarrett took his hands and slid them down her body, while she wrapped her arms up around Jarrett's neck, running her fingers through his soft brown hair. She turned around to face Jarrett, who was concentrating on her body.
"Don't be afraid to go to new places," Kesia whispered in his ear.
Then Jarrett grabbed Kesia's leg and pulled it up so that it wrapped behind his back. Then he dipped her slowly and swung her back up. Both Kesia and Jarrett were smiling and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Jarrett let go of her leg and then took his hands and placed them on her ass. Kesia moaned a 'yes' into Jarrett's ear. Then she took her hands and ran them underneath the back of his shirt. After that Jarrett did the same thing to Kesia. Their bodies swayed from side to side through the next 50 seconds of the song.
When the song ended, neither Kesia, nor Jarrett wanted to stop dancing, but everybody had started to gather around them.
Then, the DJ came back on and asked the crowd who should win. Everybody pointed to Jarrett and Kesia. The DJ asked what they wanted for a prize and teased them about getting a room instead, but all Kesia and Jarrett asked for were some more drinks
While Jarrett went to fetch two more bottles, Kesia went and sat down on the couch thinking of what had just happened. Kesia couldn't figure out why she had felt so comfortable in Jarrett's arms. It had felt so right. Kesia felt comfortable and safe when she was around Jarrett and she had just met him a couple of hours ago. She just couldn't figure out why.
When Jarrett came back, he had two Corona's and two Smirnoff's.
"I thought I'd bring two of each just in case we get thirsty again," he said handing her the two Smirnoff's.
"Good idea,' Kesia replied, popping the top and taking a mouthful. 'Thanks"
"No problem," Jarrett replied taking a seat on the other end of the couch.
Within 3 minutes, Kesia had finished her drink and was starting to get drunk. She had started her fourth drink and was to busy chatting with Jarrett to noticed.
After a few minutes, Kesia started feeling a little dizzy, so Jarrett told her to lay her head down on his lap and let her feet dangle off the couch. With her feet dangling and her head on his lap, Kesia felt very relaxed.
"I think I've got a new best friend," Jarrett whispered to Kesia.
Kesia turned over and looked straight into Jarrett's moonlight blue eyes. She arched herself up on her elbows, still staring Jarrett in the eyes. Jarrett leaned his head down a little and brought Kesia in to a kiss. The kiss was very sensuous, but nothing like the one Jesse had given her earlier that evening and it was longer.
When it ended both Kesia and Jarrett smiled at each other.
Kesia laid her head back down on Jarrett's lap, while Jarrett placed his hand on her leg.
"Tonight has been the best," Kesia said smiling.
She rolled back over on her side, then blacked out.
When Kesia arrived at Jarrett's place, there were cars parked all over, but as it was the suburbs, nobody was calling the cops complaining about loud music.
Kesia squeezed her Honda in between two cars parked in front of the house.
