Life of the Party - Chapter 28

~A Teen Wolf fan-fiction collaboration between Miss E Charlotte and Sage Londyn~

Avery opened the door from her bathroom as she walked into her bedroom.

Derek looked up at her, he smiled as his eyes traveled over her body.

She was wearing a short, tight, strapless black dress and black high-heels, her shiny blonde hair was down and laying in large, full waves.

"You look amazing…" He said his voice trailing off as she spun a slow circle.

"Thanks." She said smiling widely.

Standing up he walked over to her and rubbed his hands down her sides before grabbing her hips and pulling her forward against him.

"You don't have to go to the party, right?" He asked, his voice low and husky as he spoke.

Leaning in she kissed him, holding onto the back of his head as she kept his face pulled tightly against hers.

Breaking the kiss she said, "Its my house, I'm the one throwing the party… I have to be there."

Resting his forehead against hers he said, "But we've got some time before it starts."

"I'm already dressed and ready…" she started to say, but the end of her sentence was cut off by a small gasp as he moved them backwards until her back gently collided with the wall.

She wrapped her arms around him and arched her body against him, as his mouth reclaimed hers in a deep passionate kiss.

Her body ached for him, his every touch set her senses on fire.

Breaking the kiss she said, "People will start arriving any minute…" The end of her sentence trailed off into a moan as he focused his mouth on the side of her neck.

She ran her fingers through his hair as he continued to kiss and lightly suck on the side of her neck.

Her heart rate increased; she dug her fingers into the firm, muscled flesh of his upper arms.

"Derek…" She was trying to tell him she had to get downstairs because she heard the doorbell, but he kissed around to the front of her throat and all she managed to do was moan his name.

He smiled as he raised his head and his eyes met hers.

"I have to go." She said, as she tried to control her labored breathing.

"Stop saying that." He breathed out, his lips lightly brushing against hers as he spoke.

She swallowed hard and leaned forward forcefully pressing her mouth against his, trailing her tongue across his bottom lip before sliding between his parted lips.

Everything about her intoxicated him; as the intensity of the kiss deepened, he pushed her back against the wall again.

He took a step back and looked her over before kissing her again, reaching between them she grabbed onto the waist band of his jeans and pulled him against her.

He groaned into her mouth and his grip tightened on her sides.

Their mouths still connected as their tongues danced, he rubbed his hands down her sides over her hips and down her outer thighs.

She shivered slightly as his warm flesh touched hers, and he started to slide the skin tight fabric up.

"Uh-uh." She managed to breathe out as she broke the passionate kiss and grabbed his hand that he'd started to slide up her inner thigh.

"We really cannot do this…" she whispered as her eyes locked with his.

There was a soft knock on her door.

"What?" Avery yelled, as she continued to stare into his eyes, she was starting to think maybe the party really could wait.

"A, people are starting to arrive…" Teagan said before gasping and staring at them wide eyed.

"T!" Avery exclaimed staring back at her.

Teagan quickly looked behind her to make sure no one had come up the stairs with her.

She walked in the room and shut the door behind her as she looked at them with slightly pink cheeks.

Avery put her hands flat against Derek's chest and lightly pushed him back some as she stepped away from the wall.

"Why didn't you tell me you were busy?" Teagan asked, avoiding Derek's eyes as she watched Avery tug the hemline on the bottom of her dress back to where it should be.

"Well, I said 'what' not 'come on in'." Avery reminded her as she smoothed her hair out.

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to interrupt." Teagan apologized.

"I need to get downstairs anyways." Avery said.

"I'll, uh, I'll wait outside the door." Teagan told them as she kept her eyes on the floor until she was out of the room.

Facing Derek she pressed a heated kiss to lips before saying, "Don't forget to lock the door behind me so no one comes in and finds you."

Curling an arm around her waist he pulled her against him, "You can't just kiss me like that and then leave."

"I'll come back up here for a little while after the party gets going." She said as she smiled at him.

He kissed her again and nodded.

"Oh, and I've got my phone if you need anything." She said.

Derek was still wanted by the police and no one could know he was there.

He looked her over.

"Where's your phone?" He asked a slight look of confusion on his face.

She smirked as she took a few steps forward and pulled the top of her black dress down a little to reveal a black and red lace strapless bra with her cellphone.

"I'm carrying it in my bra." She said as she fixed her dress.

"Now, you can't leave." He said as he walked up to her and kissed her.

"I have to. Lock the door behind me." She quickly said as she rushed out of the room before he could stop her again.

"Sorry." Avery apologized to Teagan as she met her in the hallway.

"Well, if you disappear in the middle of the party; I'll know where to find you." Teagan said with a laugh as the two girls headed down the stairs.

"Wow, quite a few people are already here." Avery said looking around her house.

"The band just got set up." Teagan said as she nodded towards the back doors of the house which were propped open.

Avery looked out to see the band doing a sound check on the stage.

Teagan squinted at the band then her eyes widened, "Didn't you go out with the singer?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Avery said as she glanced around to see who all had arrived.

"Yeah, you totally did… you guys went on a double date with Jackson and I before I moved away." Teagan remembered out loud.

"Shh." Avery breathed out as she pointed above them.

"If you're not careful he'll start growling…" she said with a smirk knowing he could hear her.

Teagan's brown eyes widened, "Oh my god! That night in your room, that was the growing I kept hearing."

Avery nodded and then smiled as the front door opened and Stiles walked in.

"Hey!" she said as they walked up to him.

Teagan smiled at him.

Stiles' eyes slowly traveled over her short, tight dress.

Reaching forward she grabbed his chin and tilted his head up until he faced her, "My face is up here, Stilinski."

"I, uh..." He started to say but couldn't think of a comeback.

"Welcome to my party… I'm off to see what songs the band is playing." She said as she headed to the back of the house and out of the back doors.

Stiles looked around the house, "How did she get all of this alcohol?"

"A credit card and her fake ID." Teagan told him.

"She has a fake ID... of course she has a fake ID, she's perfect." Stiles breathed out as he watched her talking to the singer of the band.

"Uh, Stiles… there's a certain someone upstairs who can hear everything you say." Teagan said giving him an empathetic smile.

"Yeah, but he has to stay hidden. I'm not afraid of him." Stiles said confidently.

When they heard music startup they looked outside to the band.

"And I can't believe she has a band, I have never been to a party like this. It's awesome!" Stiles exclaimed.

"Have you never been to one of Avery's parties? They're always like this." Teagan said.

"I tried to sneak into one last year, some guys threw me out." He admitted.

"Oh." Teagan said her smile falling a bit for him.

"But this is a different year and Avery's really wanted you here." Teagan said offering him a friendly smile.

"Really?" Stiles asked her.

"Really." Teagan responded.

"Cool." Stiles said smiling, as he nodded his head along to the song the band was playing.

"Is Scott coming?" Teagan asked him.

Stiles shrugged his shoulders then said, "I dunno. He's still depressed about his break up with Allison."

"The first heart break is always the worst." Teagan said softly as she remembered how she felt when she and Jackson broke up two years ago before she left town.

"Jackson watching porn?" Stiles asked her.

"What?" Teagan asked with a laugh.

"I don't see him here so I figured he was off watching porn." Stiles joked, reminding her of the talk they had recently.

Teagan laughed then shrugged as she said, "I guess he could be. I don't know. He said he wasn't coming."

"You know I read that if a guy watches a lot of porn it means he is terrible in bed." Stiles said, then asked, "is that his embarrassing thing? He's bad in bed."

"No." Teagan said laughing again, then joked, "besides didn't you say you watch a lot of porn too."

"Right, good point, never mind then." Stiles said, then added, "but he has to have something embarrassing. At least tell me he gets pedicures or likes to wear your underwear sometimes."

Teagan shook her head as she laughed out loud at him until a guy walked past holding a tray full of shots. She reached out to grab two and quickly drank them.

If she was going to cut loose and have fun tonight, she was going to do it the right way. She sat the two empty glasses back on the tray then grabbed two more before the guy walked off.

She held one out to Stiles as she asked, "Do you have a designated driver?"

"No, but Avery said it was ok if I crashed here and I'm not going to pass up the chance to sleep at the Avery Dukate's house." Stiles said, as he took the shot then stuck out his tongue to gag at how strong it was.

Teagan laughed out loud at the faces he was making, between the few shots she just had plus the few before the party while Avery was getting dressed, the liquor was already taking an effect on her but she didn't care, she was having a blast and the night was just getting started.

"Ooh more shots." Teagan called out happily, as another guy walked up with a tray full of shots.

She grabbed four shots in all, two in one hand and two in the others. She handed Stiles two of the shots then drank the other two.

Stiles chuckled at her, he had never seen Teagan like this before, she had always been the more serious one while Avery was the fun/outgoing one. He drank his shots then the two sat their empty glasses back on the tray.

"Leave it to Avery to hire servers to walk away with shots of liquor for a party like it's a fancy dinner party." Stiles joked when the guy walked off.

"Yep, when she throws a party she goes all out." Teagan said as she began to dance around when the band began to play a new song. She glanced over toward the band and saw Avery waving them over as she jumped around dancing to the music.

She reached out to grab Stiles' arm then pointed toward Avery as she said, "we are being summoned."

The two made their way through the crowd and walked over to Avery. Once they were in front of her, she grabbed one of Stiles' arms and one of Teagan's arms as she begin to jump up and down again as she tried to get them to dance with her.

"Great party." Stiles called out to Avery over the music.

"Yep! It's the bestest of the best." Teagan agreed with a giggle.

Avery stopped dancing to look at her best friend closely then she looked over at Stiles as she asked, "How much has she had to drink?"

Stiles tried to count on his fingers how many shots she took but was having a hard time remembering. He finally shrugged then guessed, "I dunno, a lot?"

Teagan nodded her head as she said, "He's right. I had a lot."

Avery laughed out loud as she hugged her and said, "Yay! It's drunk, fun Teagan. I've missed drunk, fun Teagan."

"Me too!" Teagan agreed, as she threw her hands in the air and danced around, causing the other two to laugh out loud.

While the three continued to dance around to the music, Isaac cautiously stepped into the crowded house and began to have second thoughts about showing up.

After being seen with Avery every day that week in the lunch room most of the party guests nodded their heads at him, thinking he was cool enough to attend the party; but there were a few that still looked at him like he didn't belong there and he knew they were right.

He was starting to regret letting Avery talk him into coming until he saw her. The one and only reason why he was there... Teagan.

He stayed rooted in the same spot as he watched her dance around with Avery and Stiles. He couldn't help but smile when her laughter rang out after Avery playfully dipped her.

Then while Stiles was spinning Teagan around, Avery glanced around and saw him standing there watching them, well mainly watching Teagan.

Avery smiled at Isaac as she nodded her head toward Teagan then motioned for him to come over and do something instead of just standing around, but when he shook his head 'no', she tapped Teagan on the shoulder then pointed over toward him, letting her know he was there.

Teagan smiled happily as she waved at him then told Avery she would be right back before making her way over toward him.

"Hey! You came." Teagan called out, as she rushed forward to hug him taking both of them by surprise.

"Sorry, I shouldn't... I don't know why I did that." She added, as she took a quick step back when she felt him freeze up at her touch.

"It-it's ok." Isaac said, silently cursing himself for freaking out at her touch. It wasn't that he didn't like it, quite the opposite really, but he was just so surprised by it he didn't know how to act and now the moment was over.

"But I'm glad you're here." Teagan said smiling, quickly recovering.

"Me too." Isaac said, smiling back.

"So what changed your mind?" Teagan asked him.

"Well uh... I-I um... I came for..." Isaac stuttered. He remembered what Avery had been telling him all week. Go for what you want. Take a chance.

He wanted to tell her he came for her, that everything he does is for her but the longer she looked at him, waiting for an answer the more nervous he became until finally he chickened out.

"I just um... I thought it was time to get out there and stop sitting on the sidelines." He finally said, which was mostly true.

"You're starting to sound like Avery. She says things like that all the time." Teagan said with a laugh, until a thought crossed her mind and her face fell as she said, "Wait a minute. Avery forced you to come didn't she?"

She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by that thought, sure she was glad he was there, but she had hoped it was because he wanted to see her not because Avery forced him and she knew how it was to be forced by Avery, the girl gave you no chance at all to say no.

"No she... I mean she suggested it but it's not like she forced me." Isaac tried to explain so he could fix their conversation.

He could tell he was blowing it big time.

Teagan shook her head as she said, "It's ok, you don't have to explain, I know how Avery is, but don't feel like you have to stay if you don't want to."

Isaac opened his mouth to tell her how badly he did want to stay and hopefully say something witty enough to make her laugh and want to stand with him all night to talk, but he couldn't think of a single word to say. His mind was completely blank.

While Isaac continued to think of something to say, Danny walked over toward them, giving Teagan a big hug. Danny spoke to Isaac a little then went back to talking to Teagan as the two laughed and joked around as Isaac awkwardly stood there watching them.

When the band started playing a new song, Teagan gasped in surprise as she said, "Aw I love this song!"

"Let's go dance then." Danny suggested, as he grabbed her hand. Then he paused a moment as he gestured between Teagan and Isaac and said, "Unless you two were going to dance or something. I don't want to interrupt."

"No it's-it's fine you two go ahead. I'll just be..." Isaac began to say before Teagan called out a 'bye' and waved at him before she and Danny ran off to go dancing.

Once he was alone he added, "..here."

Isaac was so busy watching her having a fun time with Danny, that he never heard anyone walk up behind him until the person spoke up, scaring him half to death.

"What did we talk about?" Avery asked him.

"What?" Isaac said confused, as he turned around to look at her.

"You're supposed to be out there having fun, remember?" Avery pointed out, then added, "you know, grab life by the balls. Not stand in a corner and grab your own."

"Please don't start that again." Isaac begged, not wanting to hear her go on about balls again.

"I won't if you answer something for me." Avery said, then continued as she pointed towards Teagan and Danny, "Why is my bestie dancing with someone who is not you?"

"Well she uh, she said she liked the song playing so Danny offered to dance with her." Isaac explained.

"Isaac!" Avery called out, her eyes wide. Then she added, "When a girl says she loves the song that means she wants you to ask her to dance."

"Oh." Was all Isaac could say back.

"Don't worry. I will have you two dancing together before the end of the night. Even if I have to get my handcuffs." Avery said with a wink.

Avery watched as Isaac eyed a tray with shot glasses as one of the servers walked past them.

"Did you drive here?" she asked.

"I rode my bike." He admitted.

"Oh, well… if you drink too much you're welcome to crash here. A ton of people do, they sleep everywhere but I've got the keys to the guest bedrooms for my friends, so let me know if you want to stay I'll give you a key." She said as she looked back to the band as they finished up a song.

"You let half the school crash at your house?" He asked surprised.

"I'd rather them be here than out on the roads." She said nodding.

"You look shocked." She observed, as she eyed him.

"That's just… a little surprising I guess." He admitted.

He knew Avery was really into partying and she seemed a little reckless.

"One of my cousins was hit and killed by some idiot who got behind the wheel drunk." She said quietly as she looked around.

His eyes widened, "Oh. I… I didn't know." He stuttered.

"It's not all sunshine and rainbows up here, Lahey." She said as she patted the side of her head.

Before he could respond she smiled and said, "Go have some fun."

He watched her as she walked away pausing to say 'hello' to several people.

It was close to an hour and several shots later, that Avery started to make her way up the stairs to see Derek, when someone grabbed her hand.

"Stiles?" She said surprised when she saw it was him.

"Where are you going?" He asked, his words a little slurred.

"Upstairs for a little bit." She admitted.

"No, come on." He said tugging on her hand.

"What?" she asked.

"Let's dance!" He said.

"You're drunk…" she said with a laugh.

"You've… been doing shots too. I've been watching you." He admitted with a goofy smile on his face.

"Yes, but I can hold my liquor. You're a lightweight." She said with a laugh.

"No, I'm not…" He slurred.

After a pause he said, "Let's dance, like at that last party… where you almost kissed me."

Avery's eyes widened, knowing Derek could hear them.

"Stiles, that was a long time ago!" She exclaimed, but smiled as she let him lead her back outside where everyone was dancing.

Much later that night after saying goodbye to the band and when some of the party had cleared out, Avery was walking around with one of her shoes in her hand and trying to find the other one.

She wandered into the second living room and saw a group of 3 first line lacrosse players, laughing and nodding towards the couch as they talked amongst themselves.

Walking farther into the room she saw, Stiles passed out on the couch.

Sighing she dropped her other shoe on the floor and looked up as Isaac walked by the room.

"Isaac!" She yelled waving him over.

"I was getting ready to go home." He admitted, it was getting late and he was afraid he'd get into trouble with his dad.

"Can you help me, we need to move him into another room." She said.

"Oh, okay." Isaac agreed as he helped Avery get Stiles stood up, with an arm over each of their shoulders.

"We'll never make it up the stairs… my dad's room is down that hallway." Avery said as she stumbled a little.

"Why are we putting him in another room?" Isaac wondered out loud.

"I'm afraid the jocks are going to do something to him, honestly." She admitted as she unlocked the door and opened it.

They dropped him on the bed and Avery locked the inside of the door knob and pulled it shut after they walked back out.

"Did you ever dance with Teagan?" Avery asked.

"No." Isaac admitted.

"I got too busy drinking and dancing, I completely forgot to find you again. Don't worry, I'll throw another party and handcuff the two of you together." She said her words a little slurred as she laughed.

"Please don't." Isaac pleaded.

One party was bad enough where he felt out of place the entire time, he didn't want to have to go through the whole thing again.

As they walked back into the 2nd living room, the guys were gone but Teagan was sitting on the couch with her head in her hands, groaning from how miserable she was feeling.

"Now's your chance… she needs someone to take care of her and I've got my boyfriend…" Avery's eyes widened and she laughed nervously at her slip-up.

"I've had way too much to drink, I'm not making any sense just ignore me. I've got my empty room to get back to, so you go take care of my best friend." Avery demanded pointing to Teagan.

"I need to get home." Isaac said.

"Whatever you have waiting at home for you, is nowhere near as important as her. So forget it, and go be her friend." Avery said, as she patted Isaac's cheek.

"Now, I'm going to my empty room… where there's no one at." She slurred as she turned and held onto the wall to steady herself as she made her way to the stairs.
