Daddy Won't Know

Chapter Seven - A Second Chance

 I woke up with a smile on my face. I hadn't slept like that since my Mom died.

    When I felt something behind me, I stiffened. I slowly turned my head to see what it was. I saw a glimpse of black hair and screamed. I panicked and fell off the end of the bed and landed hard on my ass.

    "What!? What is it!?" a familiar voice panicked from above.

    Colton's voice. It was Colton? Soon the memories from last night flooded back. Right. He'd let me stay with him last night. I must have been really tired.

    "Jeez, Baby Girl, that was not the wake up I was hoping for," he whined, holding his right ear.

    "Sorry," I groaned.

    He leaned over the bed to help me up. I stood up and rubbed my sore ass and groaned in pain.

    "Want me to kiss it better?" he asked in a husky voice.

    "Stop it," I growled and shoved his chest.

    "Hard to get, huh? I love that game," he said.

    I ignored his comment and headed for the door without a word.

    "Wait. Krissy," he pleaded.

    I turned around at the door looking at him expectantly, waiting for an answer. If he called me Baby Girl I would have left.

    "Don't be mad at me," he begged.

    "Why not?" I demanded.

    "It's in my nature to act like this," he said, walking towards me. "When I see something I want...well let's say I'm very determined.

    "And what is it you want?" I asked. But I had a good idea what it was.

    "Isn't it obvious?" he was standing so close, I could feel his breath on my neck. "You," he said.

    I felt butterflies beginning in my stomach again. Shivers ran through me.

     His yes dropped from mine, to my lips. Oh my Josh! (Yes I meant Josh) Was he going to kiss me?

    His eyes closed shut and he started to lean into me. Call me a chicken, but I backed up and put my hand on his chest so he stayed back.

    "Colton?" I said uncertain.

    He sighed and opened his eyes. I shook my head.

    "Don't," I said softly.

    He nodded sadly. "Look, there's a party tonight further in the city. Want to go? With me?" he asked.

    I laughed a little. "Like my dad would let me go anywhere," I laughed.

    "It's called lying, I've seen you do it before," he reminded.

    "I don't know if I can do that again. I still feel bad about last time," I explained.

    "Trust me," he said.

    I sighed and looked away, thinking about it.

    He used his two fingers and moved my chin so me face was to his. "Trust me," he said agin.

    I sighed, and nodded. "Okay, fine," I agreed.

    He smiled. "Great. We leave at six," he said.

    I nodded and left down the hall. Another party. This should be interesting.

               -§-

     I was in my room getting ready at around quarter to, when there was a knock at my door.

    "Come in," I called.

    Just as I suspected, Colton came in.

    "Almost ready?" he asked.

    "Yup, hold on," I said, fixing my earring. I grabbed my purse and walked over to him.

    "Is it okay?" I asked, turning around so Colton could see my outfit.

     He was looking me over slowly with a painful expression.

     "Uh...y-yeah. Its perfect," he stuttered.

    I giggled a little and pointed to my eyes. "Up here, Colton," I directed.

    "Right, sorry," he snapped out of it.

    I hadn't seen him like this. Like a fool. He usually acted a lot more confident.

                 -§-

    Just as the first party, I could feel my heart thump in my chest with the music when I first walked in.

    "Don't wander. Stick around," Colton instructed.

    I nodded and stayed close to his side. All around, people were either drunk, getting drunk or making out.

    Colton handed me a cup. "For you," he said.

    I had no doubt it was alcohol. "Thanks," I said.

    It was the summer and I was prepared to live a little. Maybe even love a little.

                ~§~

    After a few hours of drinking and dancing with Colton, I was finally drunk once again.

    "I'll be right back," I informed Colton.

    He nodded. "Okay hurry back," he said.

    I went off in search for a bathroom. It wasn't hard to find on the top floor.

    When I came out I felt strong arms wrap around me. I smiled when he started kissing me neck.

    "Colton," I giggled.

    He lead me into a dark bedroom on our left. I giggled as he shut the door behind us.

    I turned around to face him. Except it wasn't Colton. I had never seen this guy before. I gasped and tried to break free from his arms. He held me tight to him.

    "Hi there," he said in a low voice.

    I screamed for Colton.
