I leaned idly against the wall watching as people bumped and grinded to the beat of the music. "You're not having fun are you?" I heard Jasmine ask. This house party was her idea, and I didn't want her to go alone anyways but I definitely wasn't in the partying mood. "I'm just not feeling it right now, Jaz." I replied lamely. "Oh, cut it out!" Jazmine snapped, brown eyes narrowing, "You've been moody since that thing happened with Riley, and I'm sick of it." "It happened yesterday." I reminded her. "And? Since when have you let someone knock you down. You know how he is already and if he is too dumb to see what's right in front of him then I say do you. Cuz girl he is most certainly doing his thing." I shook my head, " You're right Jaz. There's no point on dwelling on it anymore. I'm sorry about that." "Don't worry," she smiled, "Now let's dance!" American music was different than what I was used to at first. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it, and I really loved to dance to it. "I think you're attracting some attention." Jaz giggled, hair going to and fro from her movements. I glanced over to see a couple guys staring. They were kind of cute. Jaz left to get something to drink and a slow song came on. I blushed a little as the couples around me began to get a little more intense with their "dance moves". The lights dimmed, and it was almost pitch black save for the now flashing strobe lights. "Soooooooo you gonna dance with me or what?" I didn't turn around already knowing who it was. "Maybe if you knew how to ask properly." I replied smartly. I heard him laugh, "So you want a nigga to formally ask you to dance to a grinding song?" I turned my head to the side, still not turning to face him. "Okay," he sighed. I felt him grasp my shoulders. "May I have this dance?" He asked, breath dancing across my neck. It sent shivers down my spine, and I hared that I liked it so much. "No. You may not." I told him and attempted to pull out of his grasp. He didn't let go and instead wrapped his arms around my waist. "That's how you feel? Hurting my feelings and shit." He rested his head on my shoulder, and I felt my pulse speed up. I tried to pull away again and again I failed. "You haven't talked to me since the other day." He whispered. "I've been busy." I lied. "Uh huh." He said while placing a light kiss at the juncture of my neck, "Too busy to call back or even text?" "Well I do have a life...outside..of you." I stuttered as he placed another kiss moving up on my neck. "Besides, I'm sure you had someone to keep you company." I said without thinking. He laughed. He actually had the never to laugh at me! "So that's what this is about? You're jealous!" "No-" "Yeah, baby girl, you are." I stayed silent. There was no coming back from this.. "Do you know how fucking long I've wanted you? I'll drop all my hoes for you. I'll be the man you nees e to be you just gotta say it." I gripped his arm, "Say what?" I felt his lips on my neck again. This time his tongue came in to play, and I couldn't stop the whimper that came from my mouth. "Say that you want me too". This is what I've wanted since I realized I cared for Riley so much and yet...I couldn't say anything. I pulled out of his grasp roughly and pushed through the crowd to make my way out of the door. Something was here. "I felt it." I whispered to myself once I was outside, "A youkai." I stared off in the direction I felt it already fearing the worst.
