Bri awkwardly followed Huey through the crowd of people. Boys were giving her seductive looks left and right, and to tell you the truth, it was making her feel uncomfortable. She wrapped her arms over her chest insecurely; biting the inside of her bottom lip.
Once she and Huey were in a safe quiet corner of the club, he finally acknowledged how nervous she looked. "Are you okay?" he asked, a hint of concern in his tone, his maroon eyes washing over her. Bri felt her ears get hot as she fiddled with her fingers. Why was she so nervous around him all of a sudden?
"I'm fine..I guess I'm just nervous about Tammy" she lied, looking down at her black flats. Huey cocked a sarcastic eyebrow at her. He wasn't buying it. "You know, lying has always been a deceitful action Bri" he said as he leaned casually into the wall and crossed his arms, turning slightly to look at her.
Bri blushed at that comment. He knew she was lying. "I'm sorry Huey..I'm nervous and I feel a little-"
"Insecure?" Huey finished, it was more of a statement than a question. Bri nodded surprisingly. He knew her so well..but she knew so little about him. It was alarming..yet strangely charming.
She started to wonder if he could read her mind when Tammy, Riley, and Cindy dashed by; their faces showing nothing but excitement and pure joy. Eh, they always seemed like the partying type, Bri thought as she leaned in the wall next to Huey. He didn't seem to notice.
"So, how's life?" he asked through a yawn. Bri almost wanted to laugh about how calm and casual he said it, as if this was something he asked people all the time. But really, how was life her at the moment? "It's okay Freeman" she lied, blowing a stray hair out of her face.
She heard Huey snort in an amusing way.
"What's funny?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at him suspiciously. He fully turned to look at her now. "Do you usually lie to people or do you just not trust me?" he said, his voice now in its regular serious tone. Bri squirmed under the intimidating look in his eyes, fumbling for the right words to say.
"What? I do trust you..I'm like your bestfriend-"
"Then act like it Porter" Huey said, it almost sounded like a faint growl. Bri blinked in surprise at his common fierceness. Porter? He called her Porter? "Since when did you start calling me Porter?" she asked, cracking one of her rare genuine smiles at him. She no longer felt nervous..as if he balanced her emotions out somehow.
"What would you like me to call you..Sabrina?" Huey asked, a hint of mockery in his tone. Bri instantly felt the brush crawl onto her cheeks..her ears getting hotter. I thought I only told Mikey that Sabrina was my real name, she thought confusingly. "How'd you know my real name was-"
"Lucky guess..but you just confirmed it. Shall I proceed to call you Sabrina?" Huey said nonchalanly. Bri rolled her eyes at his manipulative ways...one of his traits that she secretly admired. He really was charming. "Yes you may call me Sabrina" she said with a faint giggle, playfully nudging him in the side with her elbow. She didn't normall display this fun side of herself, but when she did, it only seemed to be with Huey or Mikey. Weird.
She then stood and waited for him to make some smart remark about her name, perhaps calling her Sabrina the Teenage Witch..kind've like Mikey would. Seconds passed…it wasn't happening.
"So, is this what you usually do when you go to parties..just stand somewhere quiet and do nothing?" Bri asked after a while, trying to get to know her supposedly new best friend a little more. Huey snorted again. "Who said I usually went to parties?" he asked as he examined the sleeve of his shirt. Bri shrugged. "So what made you come in the first place?"
Huey considered this question..his own ears starting to warm up. "No reason" he muttered. Bri laughed. "Look who's lying now. Just tell me..because I'm not going to drop it" she teased as she stepped closer to him in a childish way; their noses inches apart.
Huey blinked at her sudden closeness, his cheeks reddening. "If I told you, it would ruin everything" he said, furrowing his eyebrows at her smiling face. This seemed to make her laugh even more. "If you can't tell me..then show me" she said with confidence, raisng a mocking eyebrow at him.
Huey blinked again. Showing her would seriously ruin things between them. The only reason he came was to somehow get closer to her..but now that plan seemed foreign to him. Wait a minute..was she flirting with him?
Her laughing ceased when he didn't respond right away.
Huey could literally feel the heat radiating off of her since she was so close. The curious look in her light brown eyes seemed to dance..slowly pulling him into a trance as he stared into them. They seemed to twinkle..as if magic.
Bri suddenly realized how close she was to him. If she inhaled enough, she could almost smell his nostalgic scent. It was somehow comforting..as if she wanted to actually be this close to him. Wait..I thought I liked Mikey-
His lips softly pressed into hers.
Bri held back the urge to moan from how good this felt, Huey's arms wrapping around her petite waist and pulling her closer to him. Huey then pulled away from her and looked into her brown irises, his scowl soft. "Do you still want Mikey..?" he whispered, his warm breath making her shiver in excitement. "Mikey who?"
"Naw, he can't do it C indy..he's too much of a pussy" Tammy teased as she crossed her arms in a mocking way. At the moment, the three troublemakers had made their way to the bar. Fortunately, Mikey and Jazmine had already left before they arrived; they would've never let them drink.
Riley smirked at the boatload of shots that were before him. "Nigga please, Reezy can handle a few tricks of alcohol" he said cockily with a shrug. "Alright, yo' five dollars on the line nigga" Cindy teased, Tammy nodding in agreement. "Hm, how bout we make it twenty since you're so sure of yourself" Tammy suggested.
Riley considered this nervously. To be honest, alcohol was never on his 'To Try' list. He found it incredibly stupid when people got tipsy at parties, putting themselves and everyone around them in harm's way. Their bet was beginning to get brutal. There was at least thirty shots that sat in front of him. At least there wasn't a crowd to watch him fail.
Do the right thing..Do the right thing..don't drink-
He took a shot and held it up to his lips, the liquid trailing down his throat.
Mikey laughed at Jazmine's ridiculous dance moves, making her laugh too. "It's not funny!" she shouted happily over the music with a grin. "Sorry, but this is hilarious!" Mikey said through his laughter as he continued to dance with her, mimicking her dancing in a mocking way.
Girls have been all over Mikey all night, but he didn't seem to notice. His attention was only directed at Jazmine Dubious..his sudden interest in her bubbly personality luring him in to the fullest. A few minutes ago he had talked her into dancing with him, and then here they were, dancing on the dance floor like two best friends. A new song started playing.
You know what to do with that big fat butt..
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle..
"Oh my gosh, they're playing my song!" Jazmine yelped excitedly. Mikey gasped when she abruptly pulled him closer to her as she started dancing again. But this time she wasn't dancing with these funny moves. They were almost dancing like a couple would, their moves synchronizing with each other to the beat of the song in a sexy fashion..almost like it was choreographed.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle..
Jazmine then turned and pressed up against him, slowly grinding her lower body into his. Mikey was surprised, though his hands automatically went to her hips in excitement.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle..
Just a little bittle..swing..
He couldn't believe that Jazmine Duboius..out of all people..loved this song! And she could dance to it too? This was too much. He felt a little bad for corrupting her innocence, but right now, he was in a triumphant mood. Innocent little Jazmine has left the building folks!
Patty cake, Patty cake,
With no hands,
Got me in this club making wedding plans,
If I take pictures while you do your dance,
I can make you famous on Instagram..
Mikey held back a laugh when she turned to bat her eyelashes at him in a playful..almost seductive way. That's when the fast song got cut off and turned into a slow song; everyone around them started to dance slowly. Jazmine groaned in disappointment and dragged Mikey off of the dance floor by his hand.
"Hey don't get upset, that was fun!" Mikey said as he tried to catch his breath, flashing one of his charming smiles her way. Jazmine rolled her eyes playfully as she tried to catch her own breath. It was fun, she thought happily.
"I knew you had a dark side Dubious. You just needed someone to teach you how to use it" Mikey continued, "So, you must be tired now huh?"
"Oh, I'm not finished Mikey" Jazmine whispered seductively in his ear before slowly pressing her lips into his. Woah.
It's been a weird night.
