*Flash back*
"Come on, Daus, you should go," Chloe said, nudging me. "It's his birthday, and I'm sure he wants you there."
"But Selena will be there... it would be too awkward," I replied, applying a face mask.
"Besides, we can celebrate his birthday tomorrow or next," I added, trying to sound nonchalant.
Chloe raised an eyebrow. "But it won't be his birthday then."
I rolled my eyes. "You're being dramatic"
"I just think you should go," Chloe said. "This isn't the first time the three of you have been in the same place together. What's the worst that could happen?"
"You guys are practically dating" she added, her voice dripping with amusement.
"In secret"I added
"But I know"she said with a wired smile on her face then I shot her a look.
"Because you like snooping around where you're not supposed to."
Chloe smirked. "I know, I know. But seriously, Daus, Jayden clearly wants you there. He even started going out with you before Selena, but you're always getting pushed aside."
I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. "Chloe..."
"Come on, I'll go with you," she said, her voice softening.I hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Okay, fine"
" I pray these pants don't rip."I said putting on a wChloe chuckled. "Pray Jayden doesn't rip them off."I playfully muttered, "You're crazy."
As we got ready to leave, I asked, "White or black?" holding up two crop tops.
"The black one," Chloe replied.
I put on the black leather crop top, pairing it with white pants, black sandals, and a white and black Gucci bag. Chloe opted for a turtle-neck black leather gown, black heels, and a black belt bag, channeling her inner "black baddie."
As we took mirror pics, I asked, "So, how do I look?" Chloe replied, "You look like one hot badass gay!" I smiled, feeling confident, and we continued taking photos for another twenty minutes, admiring our collarbones and jawlines.
When we arrived at the house, it was packed. We barely made it past the living room.
"I think they're in the game room" Chloe said, leading the way. That's where we found Jayden, surrounded by the geng and some other friends, with Selena on his lap. My jealousy spiked, but I pushed it down.
We exchanged pleasantries with the others. Cara noticed my pants and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, Daus, are those from Fendi?" She sees me as a fashion icon, and I lapped up the attention.
"We should totally take a picture!" she said, handing her phone to Cole, her boyfriend. I posed, making sure to look as sexy as possible, hoping Jayden would notice and regret not having me on his lap.
"I'm definitely posting this on my Instagram"Cara said. Mark chimed in, "Yh, yh, whatever, go sit, let's play the game". Cara pulled me down to sit next to her.
"Settle down, morons!" Mark added, trying to regain focus on the game
After a few rounds of bottle roll, I excused myself to use the restroom and freshen up. As I washed my hands, the door swung open, and I caught Jayden's reflection in the mirror.
"Why are you dressed like that? Trying to seduce me?" he asked, leaning against the door. I dried my hands with a tissue, smiled slyly, and held up a condom between two fingers. "Well, I hoped it worked, because I came prepared"
Jayden's eyes sparkled with desire as he locked the door and strode towards me. Our lips met in a passionate kiss, and he devoured every last bit of lip gloss. His bites on my neck sent shivers down my spine. "You smell incredible," he whispered, his voice husky with desire.
As we struggled to remove my pants, I insisted we be gentle. "Why can't I just rip them off?" Jayden asked, tugging at the fabric.
"Because I didn't bring a spare," I replied. Jayden offered, "Then take one of mine." Finally, he managed to slide them off as we fell onto the floor. "And make it obvious to everyone we're together?" I teased, sitting on his lap and reclaiming his lips."
I lost track of time, caught up in the moment, until Selena's knock on the door broke the spell. I hastily covered Jayden's mouth, my heart racing. "Daus... Jayden, anyone in there?" Selena called out, her voice muffled. I heard her mutter to herself, "Where could they be"' before walking away. I released Jayden's mouth
"We should get going"I said trying to get up but Jayden held me down, his grim firm "Just a little more," he pleaded, his lips tracing my neck as he moved inside me. I hesitated, torn between desire and fear of discovery. "really want to stay, but Selena might find us" I whispered, holding his face. Jayden sighed heavily, releasing me.After we done cleaning up he left while I stayed behind putting on my pants
*End of flash back*
I couldn't explain why my mind kept drifting back to Jayden. It was infuriating. 'Argh!' I exclaimed, the frustration boiling over my face as my makeup artist worked on my look for the shoot. 'Is everything okay?' she asked, concern etched on her face. I brushed it off, 'Noo, it's nothing.'
I took up my phone to check my messages,I got a text from my sister, reminding me about her upcoming wedding in two weeks time
'Oh shit,' I muttered.me.
