Caspian bent down, his mouth coming close to my ear as he tightened his grasp around my waist.
“Heaven and Freddy have been popping up lately.” He explained, making me blink my eyes rapidly before scoffing.
“Why am I not surprised?” I grumbled, making Caspian study me carefully before kissing my lips gently.
“We can leave if you want.” He suggested, making Anna gasp.
“No fucking way..let me talk to the bitch, I will straighten things out real quick!” She shouted, causing Caspian to laugh..like actually laugh.
“Why do I not doubt that even a little..” He responded, making Anna smile widely before gripping my arm again.
“Listen..do you want to know what the best revenge is for desperate little girls like her?” She asked me, making me nod my head yes.
Please enlighten me Anna.
“You ignore them..you grind that fine ass on YOUR man and don’t even acknowledge the hoe..show her what she will never have.” Anna whisper yelled beside me as I met her brown gaze.
She is right..I remember seeing how pissed off Heaven was at the dinner when Caspian ignored her.
“Cheers!!” Anna shouted, her eyes lighting up with mischief as she tilted her drink back, draining it in seconds.
Then she prompted me to do the same, causing Caspian to reach for the cup but it was too late.
“Baby..I said to take it slow!” Capsian grumbled, his mouth pressed against my ear as he suddenly nipped at my flesh, making me giggle as I tried not to cough from the horrible taste I just swallowed.
“Yep, definitely getting punished tonight.” He declared, prompting me to wiggle my ass against him as his eyes darkened.
“Is my good girl turning naughty again?” He asked, making me shake my head no innocently.
“Me? Never..” I whispered, still grinding into him as he let out a low growl and began attacking my neck.
“Well, look who finally showed up!” Someone stated, making me glance over as I was now looking at Brett..and guess who was beside him.
Heaven and her douchebag brother Freddy..why am I seriously not surprised? First, it was Ava..and now Heaven..he seems to have a thing for Caspian’s exes.
“Brett, I think Sam ran out of ice, he was looking for you man.” Moose chimed in, obviously sensing the tension already.
“He can handle it on his own. Hey Johnnie, how have you been? I think you know my new friends here right?” He asked, his eyes flashing with amusement as I just nodded before gripping Caspian’s arms that were wrapped around my waist.
I had my back pressed flush against his chest as I continued to sway my hips slowly. I could feel his rage from here..but the way I squeezed his arm and began tracing circles along his tattooed skin…it was my way of communicating with him without even talking.
“I’m glad you’re making some friends Heaven. I’m sure Brett here has been taking good care of you.” I blurted, making everyone around me freeze as I couldn’t believe those words just left my mouth. So much for ignoring her.
I could hear Anna stifling a laugh as Caspian squeezed me tighter.
I could feel Freddy’s gaze burning into me but I refused to look..I knew it would just bait him.
“Hey, I know things have been weird before…but there are no hard feelings, right? We all did things we probably regret. I just want to start fresh..we can do that, right?”
“Bullshit.” Anna said the word between fake coughs, making Heaven dart her gaze towards her now.
“I don’t think we have met..and you are…?” She trailed off, clearly annoyed while eyeing Anna as I realized Caspian and Brett were having some type of stare-off now.
“I’m the best friend of the girl you have been bullying.” She said with a wide grin, not hiding her displeasure whatsoever.
Heaven scoffed, her eyes darting to Caspian now.
“Come on, why don’t we go dance.” Milo suddenly spoke up, his hand slapping Caspian’s back as they now shared a look before Caspian nodded once.
“See ya around Cas…Johnnie..” Brett added before placing his arm over Heaven’s shoulders and turned her around.
Then he started to whisper something in her ear before glancing back at friendy and nodding as they slipped into the crowd.
That’s when I realized Freddy was left standing there as my eyes finally met his.
Some type of emotion seemed to pass through him as he watched Caspian turn me around before forcing me to look at him.
“Are you okay baby?” Caspian rushed out worriedly before bending down and kissing me gently.
The love in his eyes made my heart race as I smiled up at him, nodding my head yes.
“Come on, let’s go dance a little and then get the fuck out of here.” He declared.
Suddenly Caspian went to reach for his water that he placed on a table beside us. But before he could, someone bumped into him, knocking it down.
“What the fuck?” He said, realizing it was Freddy.
“Sorry dude, here you go.” He said, reaching for the water from behind a group of people and quickly handed it to him.
Caspian just shook his head and we started walking towards the dance floor.
“Let’s get one more drink first!” Anna yelled above the music as I glanced at Caspian who nodded yes..but I knew this would definitely be the last.
We waited in line as Caspian took a swig of water before offering it to me.
“You need to stay hydrated baby.” He said pointedly while cocking his eyebrow.
“Fiiiine..jeez..how dare you try to take care of me..” I groaned teasingly as he smiled down at me.
“You really are asking for it now aren’t you?” He responded playfully as I just shrugged innocently..yes..I was asking for it.
I quickly drank some water and took the drink that Anna now offered me.
