Song: Side to Side- Ariana Grande

Chapter 4

Game On

I overslept after finally being able to fall asleep last night, I grabbed my phone and saw I had ten missed call and seven text messages. I quickly ran through the messages and realized half were from my mom and the other half were from my best friend Nicole, and checked my missed calls realizing I had about three minutes to call my parents back before they called in the cavalry. After calling my parents and getting grilled for literally twenty minute before finally being set free and told that they would be visiting around the same time as Marcus.

After I showered and cleaned up all the candles that were still out from last night I decided to tell Nicole about my eventful night and well everything else I had going on because of my actions. I was still a little confused well not confused more so curious as to what he meant about 'always doing unprofessional things around me.' Like seriously we're both adults… right? I mean he did kiss me too.. no, no he kissed you first. You right, you right.

Hey Nic! I need you call you, where are you? Sure enough my phone started ringing and I knew this was a out to go one of two ways, she was going to give me the best advice in the world or straight up enable everything.

"What up!" Nicole said cheerily. Oh Lord… she sound too happy.

"Eww… you got some didn't you?"

"Ah bitch, you said you needed to talk to me not the other way around."

"Girl… I think I did something."

"Awh hell. What did you do?"

"Okay so you remember I told you about my annoying ass teacher right?"

"Mhm."

"Well like he was over here last night and like I might have straddled him and then he kissed me and like I panicked.. but then he kissed me again and girll..."

"Wait.. so you out here being a hoe with your teacher?"

"Why am I hoe?"

"YOU STRADDLED HIM!"

"Ahh.. he liked it though so..."

"Bitch. Wait why was he at your place anyway? Something's not adding up so I'll be there in like fifteen minutes cause I need to look at you… you be lying and shit." Nicole said before hanging up.

Okay let me explain Nicole… if you think I have no filter just wait because her brain doesn't process a thing. Whatever she is thinking in a moment will be known, if she wants to do something she's just going to do and don't even getting me started on her facial expressions! She can read you with one look and can smell a whole lie from miles away. We met one night freshman year and have been close since then… well after she told me my ass was big and that I needed to never wear loose dresses again because and I quote "Asses like that need to be seen, felt and glorified from the heavens!"

I heard the knock on the door and before I could answer Nicole walked straight in throwing her bag down after pulling a bottle of wine out and giving me a knowing look and I couldn't do anything but laugh and go grab two glasses.

"So you just walking around with wine in your bag?" I asked sitting down handing her a glass.

"I never know with you so I stopped and grabbed a bottle." She replied pour wine in both of our glasses and taking a sip.

"Okay, let me hear it and I wanna hear everything nasty detail!"

"Bitch… okay so it started that one night I went to the bar with Noah and-"

"Ohh Noah… how's my future baby daddy doing?" She asked smirking.

"Eww.. that's just all wrong and he has his eyes on somebody so you shit out of luck. Anyway, I got drunk and my teacher was there and well I said somethings, did somethings and we were dancing and hmmm.. he can dance and then like the song ended and he just left. I woke up the next day Noah was in my bed-"

"GIRL! You slept with my damn man!?" Nicole said choking on her wine.

"Again, eww! No, he just brought me home damn! Why does everyone assume we have some form of relationship?"

"I mean… it's a vibe about y'all and the last time I went out with y'all it looked like you and him did a few thangs..." She replied winking.

"No. Like yes but hell no! That was like high school and I already told you that. Okay now, he came over to 'discuss' things and then told me I had a whole damn paper to write and like I would have if he didn't give me some bullshit prompt. And then Marcus-"

"Mmm. Marcus, he still single? He still fine as hell? Whew he got some big hands..."

"That's my brother! That's nasty ugh, and he's SEVEN years older than us. Let it go! Now can I finish my damn story shit!" I loved talking to her but she made it hard to even concentrate.

"Okay okay… my bad, continue."

"Thank you, so yeah after Marcus came and left my teacher came back and then the tornado hit and we was playing Uno and then I straddled him and things started happening… then he kissed me and bitch! His lips made a girl panic so I got off of him.. and what?" Nicole started laughing uncontrollably and had to put her glass down before she spilled it everywhere.

"So you and this grown man was playing uno and you just straddled him? Wait wait and then he started to give in and I'm assuming give you whatever it is that you wanted you panicked? He got a big one don't he?"

"Ahem… I mean when we were dancing I felt a lot of something and when I straddled him I felt a whole lot of something." I replied taking a big sip of wine.

"OH SHIT! YOU WANTED HIM! You sitting over there talking about me being nasty and you over here with a whole damn professor! So when do I meet him? What's his name? Do I already know him?"

"It's Mr. Evans..."

"Girllll! Ima need details because I just pass his class for no reason sometimes! He fine and got some juicy lips too… wait you know he throws an event around this time right? Some writers show case or something… one dude I dated I think last year had his class and he asked me to go but I was like nah.."

"Well I'm sure that only applies to his students..." I said looking away feeling her eyes burning holes into the back of my head.

"Faye! Do you know how many people try into his class?" She said sitting up and putting her cup down. Now whenever she calls me Faye I know she's being serious.

"I was requested so no, I don't know and don't Faye me… he started all of this!"

"The fuck he did, you did and when he started to go along with your little game YOU panicked! Your moma is going to be pissed when she finds out you're not in that class anymore." She replied shaking her head and before I could reply she held up a hand stopping me.

"Look you need to get back into that class!" She said standing up and grabbing our glasses taking them into the kitchen. "And you need to go get some damn groceries! I need SNACKS!"

"I'll be in Mr. Watson's class so I'm still in a good creative writing class."

"Sam Evans is the best and you know it and if you were requested then you had to have impressed him. So do it again and stop playing games with the damn man either fuck him or leave him be, got all that white chocolate playing with it. You know I swear you just be tripping for no damn reason, I have to run but this need to be resolved and soon." She said grabbing her bag and giving me a hug before walking out.

…

After weeks of not speaking and me trying to get Mr. Evans to change his mind about transferring classes and him actively avoiding me I finally got fed up and just stopped caring but that all changed when I was out with Nicole having a care free time and I spotted him talking happily to some dark haired woman and she seemed extremely smitten. Oh so he just gone throw a bitch in his face huh.. okay two can play that game.

"Merce?"

"..."

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"Whatever you're about to do please don't get me arrested again… I can't keep fighting off bitches." Nicole said looking at me then in the direction I was staring.

"Girl seriously, I just want to dance and have a good time! This cute dude keep looking at me and I'm about to go get mine so… I don't know anything and I swear if you do something stupid-"

"I'll be back." I said as I adjusting my skater skirt and chugging my drink before I walked straight past the table he was standing at and gave him a quick glance with a sexy smirk before continuing my pursuit of the next man to make eye contact with me.

Boom, he looks good enough and to my luck Side to Side by Ariana Grande started playing and I grabbed the guys arm and nodded over to the dance floor. He was handsome and probably would have been great person to get to know but I had my sights on one person and it was time he understood just that. I made sure we were close enough to him and made direct eye contact with him as I began dancing seductively against the guy who didn't know he was collateral damage.

I'm talkin' to ya
See you standing over there with your body
Feeling like I wanna rock with your body
And we don't gotta think 'bout nothin' ('Bout nothin')
I'm comin' at ya
'Cause I know you got a bad reputation
Doesn't matter, 'cause you give me temptation
And we don't gotta think 'bout nothin' ('Bout nothin')

I made sure I had his attention before I began rocking and rotating my hips to the beat, grinding and caressing the guy who I chose to dance with occasionally biting my lip. I saw his jaw clench when they guy who's name I should have probably gotten, ran his hands along my waist pulling me closer against him and lean down nipping at my ear.

I've been here all night
I've been here all day
And boy, got me walkin' side to side
I've been here all night
I've been here all day
And boy, got me walkin' side to side (Side to side)

I held is eyes with mine as I ran my hands down my body before grabbing the hem of my skirt and running my hand under slightly exposing more of thighs before bending and grinding my ass into… shit let's call him Q, okay grinding my ass into Q and allowing him to grab my hips and grind into me. Okay if I'm being honest this we kinda sexy as hell and 'Q' had moves but again, a bitch was on a mission. I had been trying to get this man to talk to me since Nicole basically told me I was out here being a trifling hoe… okay she didn't say that but still! This man refused to even acknowledge my presence when I would go to his office so now I'm doing this and you should support my foolery because I only need five minutes of his time. Okay I mean a few hours kissing him wouldn't be terrible any I'm getting off track.

Been tryna hide it
Baby what's it gonna hurt if they don't know?

I got a little bold and winked at him, then I saw the woman's expression change from aloof to pissed as she forced him to look her. I couldn't help but laugh and continued to wind my body against 'Q" who seemed to be really enjoying his self because before I knew it he wrapped his arms around me and turned me to face him and pulling me into a rushed and hard kiss. Did he just put his lips on me...ugh he tastes like beer and cigarettes. Oooo bitch three hour shower after this, THREE HOUR SHOWER!

Makin' everybody think that we solo
Just as long as you know you got me (You got me)
And boy I got ya

When I was finally able to pull away, is stumbled slight hitting someone else and before I could turn 'Q' grabbed me and crashed his lips against mine again. Everything happened I warped speed and I felt like I was being pulled in two different directions before I realized 'Q' was on the ground and Mr. Evans was being slapped by the brown haired woman.

"I can not believe you brought me here just so you could fawn over this.. person."

Did this bitch…

"Marley, I'm sorry I didn't… let me make it up to you-"

"Oh please! You asked me out and the second you see this person you forget that we were on a date! "

Oh okay now this bitch got to get slapped.

"Ahh… I have a name and it's Mercedes. You have one more time to describe be as "this" before I knock you out!" I said moving closer to the woman but being stopped by Mr. Evans.

"Ms. Jones, please just give me a moment-"

"Oh now I exist! I've been trying to talk to you for weeks but now you choose to speak to me?" I said interrupting him and remembering that I was actually pissed about his actions.

"Oh.. so this is the student that's been.. oh Sammy, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize she was the little kid that was hounding you." Marley said suddenly calming down and putting a little sweetness in her voice looking back at me dismissively. Oh so he's been talking about me? Hmm?

"Marley can you just give us a minute please, I just need to speak with Ms. Jones for a moment."

"You can't be serious, why are you even entertain these childish antics?"

"Five minutes and we can leave."

"You know what, good night. I wrote the stupid paper… I just wanted you to read it." I said before shaking my head and walking away.

"So… who dat bitch and do I need to slap her?" Nicole asked handing me a drink.

"Marley, his date that he apparently has been talking to about me. I just made a whole ass out of myself I want to go home, come girl." I replied rolling my eyes. I looked over at her and she was shaking her head smirking at me, I gave her a questioning look before she nodded over and grew wide-eyed, I turned and sure enough Mr. Evans was walking towards us with angry eyes.

"Umm I'm just going to go."

"Wait what?" I asked looking back at Nicole who was now sporting a goofy grin and just shrugged her shoulders.

"Bitch you did all that and expect nothing in return? Call me after he blow that back out." She said winking and leaving right as Mr. Evans approached.

"I-"

"Uh-uh, let's go." He said looking dangerously sexy. Mmm… girl you've gotten yourself in trouble.

"I don't..."

"Mercedes, I'm not asking at this point." He said grabbing my hand and walking us out the door. He didn't say a single word as we walked to his truck, he opened the door for and I just stood and looked at him with my arms crossed. Okay so I was trying to make his ass say something but like… did he just? Is he picking up me? Hm… he strong and damn he smells good. Don't smile. don't smile, don't smile… you will not get turned on by this! Bitch you been turned on, hoe.

He maintained his silence until we reached campus and he walked us into his office with me going in first and him right behind. After he closed the door and turned around looking at me with his eyes piercing mine his expression was unreadable and felt a sudden shiver rushed through my body as he slowly approached me unbuttoning his shirt.

Oh shit… we're not about to review my paper.

SOOOOOO...? Okay so I love Nicole because she is based off of my best friend and yes we talk to each other like this ALL the time! Sam has had enough! There will be a flashback detailing everything she did try to get him to talk to him and it's a whole mess!
