we waited for Jeff and his friends to arrive.
My stomach twisted in knots as my phone vibrated in my hand.
“Uhh…It’s my Aunt.” I said to the girls as I answered. “Hello?” I asked, biting my lip.
“Bad girl” William replied.
“We just went out for a few drinks. How did you…”
“Stop biting your lip before I bend you over the bar and punish you right here.” He laughed but I knew he was not joking. I spun around scanning all of the faces. Mr. Honor stood at the far end of the bar, slamming back a shot. The girl pretty, blonde girl next to him was eye fucking him but he never looked her way. He stared directly at me. My cheeks burned red under his gaze.
“How did you know?” I asked and I saw his lips twist into a smile.
“I activated the GPS on your phone.” He motioned for the bartender to fill his glass again.
“You what?”
“Don’t look now, but Mr. Honor is at the bar!” Becka giggled in my ear and tossed her red hair to the side. Mr. Honor looked away and I turned back to my drink.
“We are leaving now.” I could see his jaw muscled flexing as he took another shot.
“I’ll be out for a few more hours.” I said cheerfully, as I winked at Becka and hung up the phone. Becka cheered and gave me a hug. I glanced over her shoulder at Mr. Honor who was staring at me angrily. I knew I would probably regret this later, but I was hurt and if he did not care than I was not going to. “More drinks!” I yelled as I finished the last sip of my cocktail. I forced a smile but I knew William was ready to explode. I felt my phone vibrate and I glanced down at it as I waited for the next round.
Last chance
I slipped it into my purse and shrugged my shoulders. I took a long sip from my glass as I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I nearly spilled it all over me as I spun around to see who it was.
“Long time, no see” Jeff said beaming from ear to ear.
“Hey!” I replied, giving him a half hug, carefully not to get too close.
“I was hoping tonight we would get the chance to dance.” He said shyly. I nodded but had no intention of dancing. Sober, I had two left feet at best. My purse vibrated and I glanced down at it, leaving it inside me bag.
I will fucking kill him if he puts his hand on you again.
“You know what? I would love to dance!” I said, grabbing Jeff’s hand and dragging him onto the floor. It was so crowded I had no choice but to be against him as I moved my hips to the music, trying desperately to look like I was enjoying myself. After a while, I almost forgot that I was doing it out of revenge and began to enjoy myself. Claire and Becka joined us with a couple of guys from school and we all laughed and danced together. I turned around, scanning the bar for William. He stood facing me, the pretty little blonde pressed up against him as he whispered in her ear. I felt my heart sink in to my stomach as I stood there, staring back at him. His eyes narrowed.
“Come on!” Becka yelled grabbing my arm. I turned my back to William giving it my best effort to look un-phased, but I was dying inside.
“Mr. Honor left!” Claire said to Becka and I struggled to listen in.
“Not like you had a chance with him anyway.” Becka shot back, flipping her hair. I glanced to the bar. Mr. Honor was nowhere in sight and the pretty blonde that was all over him was missing.
“I’m going to use the bathroom.” I shouted in Becka’s ear. I made my way through the crowd to the far side of the building. For as busy as the place was, the bathroom was virtually empty. I stood at the sink, staring at myself for a long moment. I knew coming out here was a bad decision. I made my way back out to the bar and ordered myself another drink. I sipped it as I watched all of my new friends dance and have a great time. They were oblivious to my absence.
I drank another, alone as stared at my cell phone. No new messages. I pulled up Becka’s number as
