"Are you sure about this?" Natalie yelled into Kurt's ear as he pulled her through the ocean of sweaty bodies grinding against each other to the sound of Beyoncé. They had found a club downtown that was sort of an underground thing. She honestly had no idea how they had found it seeing as how it was quite literally underground . But, Kurt had said that it was strictly for college students, over 18, but under 21. They were even carded at the front door-driver's license and student ID.
"I'm positive, Natalie!" Kurt yelled back and continued to pull her towards the bar on the far side of the dance floor, "No high school kids causing drama and no drunk guys getting into fights about who's taking you home. It's perfect!"
Natalie laughed and rolled her eyes as she looked behind her to make sure the rest of their group was following, only to see the Rachel had already pulled Finn out onto the dance floor, but Noah and Blaine were still there trying to keep up with the two.
"Two Cokes, two Dr. Peppers, a Diet Coke, and a bottle of water, please." Natalie turned back to see Kurt leaning over the bar and yelling his order into the tall, muscular bartender's ear over the loud music booming through the large area.
Natalie leaned against the bar next to Kurt and watched the bartender walk to the cooler on the other end of the bar to get their drinks. "He's gay." Natalie tore her eyes away from the bartender's awesome butt to look at Noah who had squeezed himself in between herself and a seriously tone deaf guy singing along to Ke$ha at the top of his lungs.
"Oh, yeah?" Natalie raised an eyebrow and smirked a little, "And your gaydar is on tonight because…?" she trailed off as she looked him up and down and Noah rolled his eyes.
"Just pointing out the obvious," Noah nodded in the direction of the bartender and got closer to Natalie's ear when she turned to look at the guy again, "His jeans are painted on, his shirt only comes down to his bellybutton-which is pierced- and he's wearing more make-up than you are." Noah said right into her ear, trying to make it look like he wasn't openly talking about the looks of some guy.
Natalie frowned as she took in what he was saying and noticed everything he had pointed out, not to mention the way the guy's eyes landed on his male co-worker's ass as he was walking towards them. When he finally made it to them, he placed the drinks on the bar in front of Kurt and winked, "That will be $11.50, sweet cheeks."
Natalie slapped her hand over her mouth as her eyes bugged out and she turned to look at Noah, who was looking out at the dance floor laughing himself, "Did you hear…?" Natalie pointed over her shoulder to where Kurt was paying the guy for their drinks and Noah looked back down at her and nodded a huge grin on his face, "He makes Mariah Carey sound like a man!"
Noah couldn't help it, he burst out laughing and had to lean against the bar to steady himself, "What's so funny?" Kurt asked as he handed Noah a Dr. Pepper over Natalie's shoulder.
"Oh, nothing." Natalie turned around and smiled innocently at Kurt as he rolled his eyes and handed her a Dr. Pepper as well.
"I'm sure," Kurt deadpanned and turned away from the bar with the bottle of water and a Coke in his hands, "Where are Finn and Rachel?" he asked and stood on his tiptoes to try and catch a glimpse of his gigantic step-brother.
"They're right there," Noah chuckled as he pointed to a couple in the middle of the dance floor. Finn was standing there, awkwardly shuffling his feet to the upbeat Usher song as Rachel grinded against him in what she probably thought was a sexy way, but to everyone else, it looked like she was trying to do the worm vertically.
Kurt shook his head and cringed at the sight while the other three laughed uncontrollably, "Should we save him?" Blaine asked through his laughter and Natalie shook her head violently.
"No! He got himself into this, besides he's gonna have to dance with her at the wedding, why not get a sneak preview of the horror that will surely happen then." Natalie pointed out and laughed again as she looked back to see her brother standing still as Rachel pushed her butt against his front and flung her head from side to side wildly.
"One Dr. Pepper, please." Natalie turned her head towards the place Kurt had just occupied to her right to see that he had disappeared with Blaine, only to find a dark-haired guy standing next to her-a very attractive dark-haired guy.
He must have felt her eyes on him cause he turned to look at her and smiled an adorable lop-sided smile, "Hello," his voice was low and smooth even over the loud music, "I'm Kody." He extended his hand to her and she smiled brightly as she took it.
"Hi, I'm Natalie," She answered and smirked as he gave her the once over. She looked good and she knew it. Kurt had picked out her tightest, form fitting jeans that made her ass look great and a sparkly gray, flowy tank-top that gave her boobs an extra boost. Her jeans were tucked into a pair of knee-high gray boots and her hair was down in its natural waves-in short, she looked hot. Even Noah's jaw had dropped when she got back from the bathroom, oh right-Noah.
She pulled her eyes away from the guy and looked to her left to see that Noah had not moved from his spot against the bar and was practically glaring at Kody over the top of Natalie's head, "Uh, Noah," she snapped her fingers in front of his face until he looked at her and she noticed that his hard stare seemed to soften a little, "This is Kody," she turned back to the dark-haired guy and stepped back so Noah could see him, "Kody, this is Noah, my brother's best friend."
She introduced them and they both nodded at each other in acknowledgement as they shook hands in front of her. As soon as their hands parted, Noah turned his gaze on the dance floor and Kody looked back at Natalie and smiled, "You come here often?"
Natalie flipped her hair over her shoulder in a flirtatious way and fluttered her lashes, "Actually, it's my first time." She smiled at him widely and leaned back against the bar, knowing her boobs were popping more. She knew she was kind of portraying herself as a slut, but she really needed to do something to take her mind off of the tall, hazel eyed dad who had seemed to move closer to her when Kody put his hand on her shoulder.
"Well, let me show you what else this place has to offer besides the bar," he winked at her as his hand slid down her arm and took her hand before pulling her to the dance floor.
Natalie let a giggle slip out as Kody slid his arms around her waist and pulled her body close to his as they moved against each other to the newest Lady Gaga song. She was enjoying herself greatly and laughed out loud when she spotted a very ecstatic Kurt doing moves that Lady Gaga herself would be jealous of.
"Friend of yours?" Kody asked into her ear and Natalie pulled her eyes away from Kurt to look into the guy's eyes. They were hazel-ish, but just a little browner than Noah's, who's were almost all green, but had flecks of brown here and there.
Natalie shook her head and cursed at herself, how can she still be thinking about Noah when she was dancing with this amazingly hot guy. Suddenly, she remembered he asked her a question and looked back up at him, "Uh, yeah. He's my best friend and step brother."
Kody nodded as he looked from Natalie to Kurt and back again, "You guys go to Ohio State?" he asked and Natalie nodded her head as a smile grew on his face, "Me, too! What year are you?"
Natalie smiled a little, "First, you?"
"I'm a third year, which makes me 20 and this will be my last year being able to come here," Kody explained and Natalie nodded, "Which is why I'm so glad I met you tonight, seeing as how we more than likely will never run into each other on that huge campus."
Natalie giggled a little, "Well, then I guess it's a good thing my friends dragged me out tonight, huh?" she smiled and looked up at him from under her lashes.
"A very good thing." Kody practically growled in her ear and Natalie involuntarily shivered and pulled back a bit.
"I need something to drink," she pulled herself away from Kody and made her way back to where Noah was still standing against the bar.
"Not your type?" Noah asked with a smirk on his face as Natalie took a drink of her Dr. Pepper and rolled her eyes.
"Not exactly, but I'll give him a chance to prove himself," she shrugged and turned back to the dance floor and watched as Kody made his way to a group of guys who she assumed were his friends, "What's it to you?" she directed the question at Noah and glanced up at him briefly.
Noah shrugged and set his empty can on the bar and he leaned closer to her, "Just looking out for you."
"You don't have to look out for me, Noah," she snapped and glared up at him, "I can take care of myself. Why doesn't anyone get that?" She threw her hands up in frustration before crossing her arms across her chest and glaring at random people on the dance floor.
"I know you can, Nat." Noah was pressed against her side and his breath tickled over her ear lobe, "But I was there last time remember? I'm the one who held you through all of it," Natalie tensed a little and Noah rubbed his hand down her back soothingly, "I just don't want to see you like that again."
Natalie's shoulders dropped and she turned to look up at Noah again, this time her gaze a bit softer, "I know, and I appreciate it. But, that was over a year ago. I know better now and I'll be okay. You just gotta trust me."
Noah nodded and smiled softly, but that smile soon turned into a frown when Kody was suddenly in front of them, "Re-hydrated?" he asked and smiled at Natalie as he extended his hand to her palm up.
She smiled back and timidly slid her hand into his and he pulled her to the dance floor again. Natalie couldn't help but keep glancing over her shoulder as they danced at Noah who was stationed at the bar watching the two dance. She knew he was just looking out for her, just like Finn did, but she was young and naïve then and she won't make the same mistake twice, right?
Hey all! So I know it's been a while, but I've been really busy and I kinda got stuck for a little bit, but I posted three more for you guys to enjoy and added a new character. Kody is also mine just like Natalie. Make sure to review and let me know what you guys think! Lots of Love!
