Can I Have This Dance? (Book One in the Nicki and Alex series)

Can I Have This Dance (13)

"OK?" he asked again

"Yeah," I said sniffling. I wiped my tears still not sure whether it was my fault or not.

"Do you want me to come round?" he asked sounding hesitant

"Err...........," I said starting to answer when Clair stormed in and screamed

"YOU F**KING WHORE!"

"Is that Clair?" he asked in the phone

"Yeah," I said hearing the disgust in my own voice.

"Oh, are you upset that you got in trouble by mummy?" I asked

"What the hell did you do, she was on my side like an hour before that!" she screamed coming towards me.

"I'm defiantly coming over," Alex said through the phone, I even forgot he was there.

"If you insist," I said to him

"Who is that?" she asked as I put it on speaker, just before she stole the phone from my hand.

"Nicki will call you back," she said about to hang up when Alex spoke.

"Clair, give her back the phone now."

"Alex?! Did she call you? Desperate I know," she said kind of answering her own question

"Get a life Clair and give it back. Am I on loud speaker?" he asked after sounding confused

"Yeah," I shouted

"Why should I?" she asked him

"I'll go back out with you," he answered and I could hear the stupid smirk in his voice

She grinned at me about to hand it back while I sat stunned. When she handed it to me he shouted

"SIKE!" before bursting out laughing which made me laugh, before he hung up.

I was too busy laughing, which was a surprise since I was completely and utterly revolted by myself not too long ago.

My mood instantly went down when I realised this, making me stop laughing at once.

"This is your entire fault, everything is always your fault!" she shrieked before diving for me on my bed. I screamed, but dodged, making her shout in frustration. I wasn't in the mood for a fight so I made a run for it.

As I was exiting my room I bashed into Aaron who quickly held me up as I was about to fall.

"Thanks," I said causing him to nod

"Clair get out before I make you," Aaron threatened as I ignored her dirty look as she walked out of the room. Not too soon after I heard the house door slam, signifying that she left the house.

"So you gonna tell me what's wrong?" he asked

I felt really bad that he didn't know and he was my brother and so I decided that he had a right to know.

"Promise not to get mad. Come sit beside me?" I said as his face became worried.

"Yesterday at the party......" I started getting scared

"Yeah......" he said trying to push it out of me

"I wasn't sleeping when I left, I was crying," I said, this was the easy part.

"Why, did Alex do something to you?" he asked getting angry already.

"No! Actually go stand up for this part," I insisted making him do as I asked still confused.

"I went to get a towel and some guy asked me if I wanted him to show me," I continued

"He looked quite friendly and even though I didn't want him to, I agreed. Then he led me to one of Blake's rooms," I continued again
