“Come on beautiful, let’s get you a drink.” He declared as we made our way into the huge house.
That’s when everything turned chaotic.
(Johnnie)
The moment those doors opened, it was like we truly were at some type of frat house. Loud music pulsed around us as Caspian snaked his arm around my waist, gripping me tightly as we squeezed our way through the room.
There had to be more than a hundred people standing in this large room alone..this was insane.
“It’s like the entire school is here.” I yelled to Caspian above the music as his eyes darted to mine.
“Don’t leave my side for even a second.” He yelled, making me nod before swallowing hard as the crowd began to part. I knew it was because of Caspian..all eyes were on him..and then I heard the whispers.
“Wow, they really are together.” One girl said to her friend.
“Didn’t he hate her guts? He seriously dumped Ava for her?” Another said as Caspian must’ve heard that one.
His eyes darted to the girl before glaring at her as I swear she turned as white as a ghost before ducking behind some guy.
“Don’t listen to them okay?” He said firmly, making me nod as I knew this would happen eventually..I just wasn’t fully prepared for it tonight. I thought this would be just the team like at our house..I didn’t realize all of these people would be here.
But not everyone was rude.
Some people I have seen a few times in passing on campus or at the coffee shop I worked at said hi to me and even complimented my new look.
“Oh my god, this place is a mad house.” Anna yelled next to my ear as she looped her arm through mine just as we reached the kitchen.
“We need a drink!” She added, her eyes wandering the makeshift bar.
It was just some guy at the kitchen island pouring drinks together and passing them out. I actually recognized him, he was one of Caspian’s teammates.
Sam, I think.
“Hey!! About fucking time you made it. Kai is already wasted and has been asking where you are nonstop.” He laughed before passing some girl a drink and winking at her.
“You drinking Cas? Johnnie, you want something?” He asked, making me smile at him before glancing at Capsian.
“You go ahead baby, I’m not drinking tonight.” He added, making Sam frown.
“Uhhh..seriously?! The season isn’t even starting for a few more weeks..come on dude.” Sam groaned as Anna stepped forward a little.
“I will drink enough for two to make up for it.” She said playfully, making Sam look at her before smiling brightly as his eyes wandered up and down her body slowly.
“Don’t even fucking think about it Edmonds..this is Anna.” Moose boomed while stepping up beside Anna with Milo right behind.
Sam just lifted his hands in surrender before smiling sheepishly as Anna giggled beside me. She is such a flirt.
“You sure you don’t want to drink baby?” I asked Caspian, making him gaze down at me before placing his hand on my ass possessively.
“Not with these assholes around. I will just do water.” He said loud enough for Sam to hear.
“Coming right up boss.” He teased and reached under the counter before producing a bottle of water.
Then he poured four drinks and set them in front of is.
“Make sure to leave a good yelp review.” He shouted as we took our drinks and began moving from the kitchen. Anna and I both burst out in laughter as she quickly knocked her plastic cup against mine.
“Bottoms up bitches!” She yelled, making me roll my eyes before I took a sip and instantly crinkled my nose.
“What? Not good?” Caspian asked, his voice filled with amusement.
“I think this is somehow stronger than the Moose special.” I grumbled, feeling my throat burning.
“Take it slow then baby, we don’t want a repeat of last time” Capsian ordered as I smiled at him sheepishly..I promise I won’t tie him up and leave him this time.
“Yo! Caspian!” Someone yelled out as our gaze was drawn to a group of guys standing around.
It looked to be most of his teammates.
“Hey, Happy birthday dude. How are you feeling?” Caspian asked who I remembered was Kai as he did some little weird hand-grab hug thing that guys do.
“Thanks! I’m doing great even if Brett did invite half the fucking school.” He laughed, his eyes darting to me before smiling and pulling me into a hug.
“Johnnie! Thanks for coming!” Kai slurred, making my cheeks warm as Caspian pulled me away from him.
Kai didn’t seem to notice the daggers that were now being thrown his way.
“And..who..who’s this?” He asked before looking at Anna who was now sandwiched between Moose and Milo.
“I’m Anna, Moose and Milo’s girl.” She answered before Moose could.
Kai looked between the three of them, seeming slightly confused before smiling widely and laughing.
“Why am I not surprised?” He said more to Moose than anyone as he just shrugged before smirking mischievously.
“Oh, by the way..I wanted to warn you Cas..I told him it wasn’t a good idea..but you know that girl..the one who has been going around and..” Before Kai could finish, Caspian interrupted him.
“Where is he?” He asked angrily, making Kai sway a little before pointing out the back.
I glanced up at Caspian, seeing he was now angry as confusion filled me.
“What is he talking about baby?” I asked, my stomach tying into knots as I had a bad feeling about this.
