Pulling Heart Strings

Chapter 17

Stephen's pov.

Another boring party. I was sitting at the bar with Jake. Looking at the crowd that was dancing. But it was pretty lame.

,,Dude it's really boring." I said taking another sip of my whiskey. ,,James be patient. Also those friends of mine are on their way so it won't be that boring." He said. ,,But your friends do take long." I said annoyed. ,,God give me strength to handle this impatient boy." He said sighing. ,,Shut up man." I said laughing.

I took another sip of my whiskey and had to take a piss. ,,I'll be back I just have to use the restroom." I said and Jake nodded. I made my way to the toilet and did what I had to do. I looked at myself in the mirror. And man did I look bad. All I did the last week was stupid things. Alcohol and girls. That's all I did. I kinda enjoyed it. I also liked freedom but she was still on my mind.

I went out and walked towards the bar. I realised that Jake was gone. I drank my whiskey and looked around. I saw him talking to a girl and walked over. ,,Hey." I said to him and realised who he was talking to.

Rose and her roomate. She looked so good. That little black dress and her face was glowing with that make up. Her curves looked so good. All in all she looked cute and hot at the same time. Her eyes met mine. The green and brown in her eyes. Her pupils growing bigger. She looked at me.

,,STEPHEN?" Jake called me out and I stopped looking at her. ,,Ya?" I asked shocked. ,,You and your thoughts." He said laughing. ,,Stephen." Her roommate said raising her eyebrow. I knew she hated me just like Rose did. Rose obviously tells her everything. ,,Hey." I said not knowing what to say. ,,Long time no see." She said. ,,Just a few weeks." I replied. She raised her eyebrow.

On her left side Rose. She didn't say anything and looked at me and her roommate. She was never so damn quite. ,,Ya. I have to say it was good week. Right Rose?" Her friend said. Rose looked at me and sighed. Before she could say anything Jake said ,,Guys let me get you something to drink. What do you want?"

,,I want shots a lot of shots." Her roommate said. ,,And you Rose?" He asked her. ,,Just water." She talked for the first time this evening. ,,Sure?" He asked her and she nodded. ,,Come with me Stephen." Jake said and I followed. We went to the and orders the drinks.

,,James. I know it's hard. But please don't do anything wrong. Mae is just a good friend. She was just trying to protect Rose. Don't worry." He said giving me an assuring smile. ,,I know. It's just bad to see her. Because I know she hates me right now. It's all my fault." I said looking down. ,,Dude. Don't worry. She just needs time." He said. I sighed and nodded.

We then walked back to the girls who were still standing there and talking. ,,Here beautiful ladies." Jake said handing them their drinks. Rose gave him a kind smile. Rose slowly sipped at her drink while Jake and Mae gulped down the shots. I drank my whiskey.

After a while Mae and Jake were really drunk. I was drunk as well but still in stable situation to completely understand my surrounding. ,,Rosy. Let's dance." Mae shouted in the now loud hall. ,,No thank you." Rose said. But that Mae girl pulled her and went a bit more into the crowd and started dancing.

Jake then also joined. At first she was a bit nervous I guess and just moved a bit. But after a while she was letting the music get to her and started moving more. Shaking her fine ass. So sexy. Inbetween she would look into my eyes plain.

Rose's pov.

I slowly started to let loose. I moved to the beat and started enjoying this thing. It was pretty awkward with Stephen. But now it's fine because I'm not next to him. But we would just stare at each other some time. After a while Mae was shaking her ass of and Jake with her. Both of them were pretty drunk and enjoying each others company.

,,Rose we want to go get a drink. Do you wanna come?" She shouted. ,,No thank you I'll stay here." I said. ,,Sure?" She asked and I replied ,,Yes.". Then both of the walked away. The club was pretty packed by now. I was in the middle of the crowd. I just sipped at my water. And moved to the rhythm.

I waited and waited. But Mae didn't come back. I started to get a bit scared in the middle of the crowd. Stephen was also out of sight. My heart beated a bit faster.

,,What is a beautiful like you doing here alone?" A man behind me said. I turned around and saw a bit older guy. He looked pretty strong and he smirked at me. Now I was even more scared. I took a deep breath.

,,I'm just waiting for my friends." I said. ,,Ok. Would you like to dance?" He asked coming a bit closer. I could feel the alcohol in his breath. It smelled really bad. ,,No thank you." I said and his face turned from flirty to a bit angry. But he then changed back to his flirty face.

He put his hands on my waist and made me move. I was really scared. I jumped at his touch. I breathed and tried to loosen from his grip. But he held me tight and pulled me closer to him. I turned my face away from him but he made me face him.

I tried to get away but he was really strong. My heart was now beating as fast as it could because his face came closer to mine. He held my neck tightly and came even closer trying to kiss me.
