Mako's Message: This was a double update so if you somehow missed Ch119(it's happened) go back a chapter.
I am such a fucking idiot. I can't believe what a deluded twat I was to think winning Dave's affection would be as simple as showing up in a pretty dress with my hair done up and some make-up on.
So fucking stupid.
So, ya know, even though I didn't get my limo I still thought things would go well. WRONG. The whole thing fucking tanked.
Picking up Dillon went alright, except the wrist-corsage he got me didn't match my dress or my eyes, or anything.
Then when we get there, people couldn't stop staring at us like, "Aww, isn't that cute, they think they're people."
Dillon looked like he was going to pass out from all the blood rushing into his face and I was grinding my teeth so hard I won't be surprised if it turns out I cracked one.
And then when we were inside I couldn't find anyone. Dave, Angela, Jessi, not even Riley.
Dillon said he was going to get something for us to drink, but after a moment of standing there like an idiot and being snickered at I went after him. Better to suffer with company than alone.
So we're standing there drinking punch and I'm fighting the urge to go hide because if Dave doesn't at least see me then this whole operation would a complete failure. And that is when I see Dave.
And dear fucking god did the man man look hot. He was wearing this dark blue suit with a black tie, a tan vest and a cream shirt had his hair combed off to the side, and there were a just a couple strands of hair that were falling into his eyes. He could have taken me right there on the floor with everyone taking pictures and I wouldn't have given a shit.
So I pull myself together, hand Dillon my drink and walk over to him.
He doesn't see me until I'm halfway too him and when he does his whole face lights up as he looks me up and down. Then he says, "Wow. Mindy. You look incredible."
And for one, glorious, moment, I was sure it was all going to to work out.
And then he says, "Riley? Riley! Come look at Mindy."
And Riley comes over, and she looks abso-fucking-lutely GORGEOUS! Her hair was cascading down over her shoulder, she's wearing this red, one strap dress with a slit in skirt all the way up to her hip, and then she wraps her arms around Dave's neck and I just wanted to cry.
And she looks me up and down and smiles at me and says, "Oh my god, look at you. I knew you could really shine if you just polished yourself up a bit. You're going to be a real heart breaker when you grow up."
And all I could say was, "Thanks" because the only thing going through my mind was that Riley must be the descendent of Aphrodite or something because she looked like she should be wearing a tag that said "To: Men, From: God"
And so after standing there like a retarded dear in headlights for a minute I finally manage to say, "I should get back to my date."
And Riley says, "Well don' keep the lucky guy waiting, he'll think he's lost you!" as I turn and walk away. And I laughed at the idea any guy but Dave could be considering themselves lucky when THAT was walking around., because I had to do something and it was either that or cry.
And when I went back to where I'd left Dillon he was gone and for one ego breaking moment I thought that even he wasn't interested in me anymore(Pathetic I know.), but then I saw him sitting at a table with Angela and her date and they were both waving me over.
The first thing out of Angela's mouth when I sat down was, "Oh my god, did you see Riley? She's like sex wrapped in silk."
And I just sort of laughed and let my head fall to the table.
We talked for a few minutes, then Dillon nudged me and asked if I wanted to Dance. I said, "Sure," cause, ya know, it's a DANCE and I thought it might be fun and help get my mind off of everything.
Yeah. It took us all of five seconds to realize we didn't know how to dance so we just kinda stood there, swaying like two douchebags in the wind.
I didn't make it through the song. I apologized to Dillon, telling him I was sorry but that I just couldn't do this, and then I walked out.
And that's when I found Jessi. I didn't know it was her at first, I just saw a couple standing under a tree arguing, it wasn't until I got closer that I recognized her voice, begging the guy to stop trying to get into her panties.
So I walked right up behind him and kicked him in the nuts. Then I kicked him a few more times and I felt a little better.
I asked Jessi if she was okay, and she said she was fine, and called me her hero.
I thought it was kinda funny.
I told her she should go back inside and find Angela and stick with her for the rest of the night. She hesitated a bit but she went in.
Then I kicked the guy again because that's just the kind of mood I was in.
And that's when SHE showed up.
She just called my name, once, and all I could say was just, "What do /you/ want?" I didn't even turn around because I could barely stand the sound of her voice right then let alone LOOK at the bitch.
And she just kept starting and stopping, "I-uh-Well-See-I-I-" like a retard.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore and I whirled around and shouted, "You WHAT?"
And Katie just stood there, her eyes flicking from me to the guy groaning on the ground, probably thinking the same thing I was: How reliable would this guy be as a witness?
Finally she stop gaping like a fish and said, "Nothing." and started backing away. Finally she turned and walked as fast as she could back inside and into the arms of one of the football players.
Jessi's ex-date was starting to get back on his feet so I stomped him back into the dirt before I went back to walking around.
That's when I found Todd sitting on the front steps by himself. I sat down and asked him what he was doing, and he said, "Just waiting." when I asked him what he was waiting for he said, "Until I can go home without embarrassing myself."
Apparently he'd come alone and felt just about as stupid as I had and came out here to hide out until enough time had passed that he could go home without looking pathetic. We sat there for awhile in silence for awhile, then he asked what I was doing out here, "Didn't you come with Darren?"
I said, "It's Dillon and yes. I just needed some fresh air."
After a minute I told him that Jessi was currently dateless, so he could go ask her to dance or whatever if he wanted to.
He said, "But she's a freshman. Don't you think that'd be kinda...creepy?"
I snorted and said, "No, I don't. Why? Do you?"
He didn't answer so after another minute I said I was going to go back and find Dillon.
I'd gotten maybe a dozen feet away before he called out, "Hey. You look great, by the way."
I smiled and said, "Thanks." then added, "Hope your night gets better," before walking off.
When I found Dillon he was sitting at a table with Jessi, but they weren't talking. I asked him if he wanted to go home and he just shrugged and said, "Sure," so I called Marcus and asked him to come get us.
We stopped for burgers before taking Dillon home.
After we dropped him off Marcus asked how everything went and if I was okay. I said, "It was great. I got kick the shit out some asshat that was getting too gropey with his date."
I don't think he knew if I was being serious or not because he didn't ask anything else for the rest of the night.
When I got home I went straight to my room and ripped my dress off. I think I'm going to burn the fucking thing.
And Marty just texted me that the entire betting pool about my dating life was thrown out because nobody bet on zero. So I also got to fuck up a bunch of idiots who should really be staying the fuck out of my private life's plans. So I guess the night wasn't a total loss.
