Chapter:4

Kera POV

"He just left?!" Nadine, my cousin, asks loudly. Even with her yelling, I can barely hear her over the loud music of the bar, cafe place. I called her and told her that I had some tea to spill so she asked me if we could spill shot instead.

Now here we are, drinking cocktails and eating some bomb ass pizza. "Yeah. He did tell me that he had some business to handle." I tell her.

"It doesn't make up for the fact that he got you drunk, made out with you and ditched the next morning. Then he doesn't say anything for THREE DAYS!" She yells again. I shake my head.

"You're making it sound bad. I was the one who got us drunk and so what if we made out. It just sucks that he wouldn't even call or text me. I don't think he even has my number." I say defeated.

Maybe he was looking for a quick fuck. But he told you no when you wanted to fuck him.

"Okay. All of this is way too depressing. Let's finish up here and get fucked up. I know the perfect place." She says excitedly and waves the waitress over before swiping her card through the machine.

"Drinks are on me tonight. I need you to find somebody tonight and forget about Parker. I will be making sure that you have fun." She says giving me a playful glare. I just giggle and get up, walking out of the cafe with my phone and purse clutched in my hands.

We get into my car and drive off.

It takes us about 20 minutes of bad directions and screaming to get to the club Nadine was talking about.

I park the car and we both get out. We meet at the front and she grabs my hand and walks to the entrance. This huge guy stands at the door and he looks intimidating as hell. He isn't your typical scary, bold bouncer.

He is really attractive with jet black hair, a beard that suits him and he is just the right amount of buff.

"Denver. This is my cousin and bestfriend Kera. She's the one I told you about." She says after hugging him. He smiles at me and lets us in. Nadine walks back to him and I see her kiss his lips quickly and my eyes widen. Nice score, Nay.

She walks back over and I give her a pointed look. "What?" She asks looking genuinely confused.

"You just kissed Denver." I says and she almost immediately ducks her face. "I like him, okay. We are vibing but I will tell you about that some other time. Tonight is about you. Now let's get shitfaced." She says and pulls me to the bar area.

The bar lady brings over 10 shots of God knows what and we down them immediately.

"Can I get two blueberry Cruz with grape juice and four more shots, please." Nay tells the bartender.

She really wants me to get drunk tonight.

I turn to the crowd and look at all the drunk people grinding and kissing on each other. I giggle as I see a couple falling over probably from how drunk they are.

My eyes run across the whole bar but settles on one specific place. Or should I say one specific person. Parker.

My eyes widen at the girl sitting on his lap, placing kisses on his neck as he looks around the club. He looks bored out of his mind.

"Nadine." I say and she turns away from the guy she was talking to. "Yeah. Find someone you like?" She asks wiggling her eyebrows.

"Parker is here." I say, my eyes still trained on him. "Really? Where? I'm going to give that fucker a piece of my mind." She seethes wildly searching the crowd. She doesn't even know what he looks like.

At that moment his beautiful grey eyes snap to mine. I quickly look away and look at Nadine. "It's okay. It's not even worth it. He's here with someone." I say and she looks at me sympathetically. "I'm sorry." She says and I shake my head with a fake smile on my lips.

"It's okay. It was only a kiss and I don't even like him like that." Lies, lies, lies.

Over the past few days, I've developed a small crush on Parker. I mean who wouldn't. He is super hot, funny, smart and he is covered in tattoos. Who wouldn't want that. Add in the fact that he's rich and you'll have the perfect guy.

"Let's just enjoy ourselves." I say and down all four shots. Nadine hoots and orders more. I can feel his eyes on me but I try to ignore him and loosen up. I fix my crop top and the matching skirt before moving my hair to the side.

I turn back and walk into the crowd after letting Nadine know.

I dance to the beat of the song and feel a pair of hands on my hips a few seconds later. "Why are you dancing alone?" A deep voice asks and I turn around immediately. I come face-to-face with Jaxon and almost scream.

A huge smile takes over my face and I hug him tightly. "Oh my goodness. What are you doing here." I ask him and he just shrugs. "A girl named Nadine called me from your phone and told me to come and cheer you up." He says and I look at Nadine who is still talking to the guy at the bar.

"How did she even get my phone." I ask rhetorically and he chuckles. "She probably read our messages." He says and I facepalm myself.

"I'm sorry. You probably had other plans tonight." I say looking at him sheepishly. "I actually didn't." He says with a shy smile.

"Well I'm glad you came." I say smiling and he smiles back. "Let's dance." He says and grabs my hands. We dance to a couple of songs and I just enjoy myself, forgetting about the prying eyes on me for a while.

"You wanna get something to drink?" He asks and I nod feeling parched from all the dancing. We walk over to the bar and he orders me a blue lagoon and a coke for himself.

"You're not drinking?" I ask and he shakes his head 'no'. "I don't drink anymore." He says and I raise my brows at him. "Anymore?" I ask and he smiles softly. "A story for another time." He says and I nod in understanding.

"Nadine said that I needed to come here to cheer you up. Why?" He asks and my eyes immediately move over to where Parker and the brunette were seated about an hour ago. I don't see either of them amd my mood falls.

"That is a story for another time." I say to him with a small smirk to cover my sadness.

"I love this song. Let's dance." I says when Needed Me by Rihanna comes on.

We dance at a distance for a while before he pulls me closer and my hands go around his neck. I stare at his lips for a second before moving to his eyes.

"I really wanna kiss you." I say and he chuckles before leaning in. "I really wanna kiss you too." He says and I smile.

He leans down and places his soft lips on mine.

They don't make me feel as good as Parker's do.

What the hell?

I pull away and he looks at me in confusion. "What's wrong?" He asks and I shake my head before kissing him again.

"You wanna get out of here?" He asks and I nod. "I have to find Nadine first." I say and go to our spot at the bar. I grab my purse and pull my phone out before dialling her number.

"Kera!" She yells into the receiver. "Where are you?" I yell back and walk to a quieter corner. "I'm near the bathrooms. Should I come to you?" She asks and I say yes before hanging up.

"Are you here with your car?" I ask Jaxon and he nods. "I'm just going to give my car keys and an a key to my house." I say and he nods.

"Hey. What's up?" She asks and I pull her to the side as the guy she was with talks to Jaxon.

"Jaxon and I are getting out of here. I just wanted to let you know and give you a key to the house and my car keys. We're going to take his car." I say and she smirks. "My girl getting it." She hollars and I flush.

"Shut up. Just get home in one piece please and don't do anything stupid. I love you." I say to her and hug her." I love you too." She says and we walk back to the guys.

"Ready?" Jaxon asks and I nod. He grabs my hand and wave to a grinning Nadine and her friend.

We get to his car and I am in love. A matte black Camero. He works at a pizza place, how can he afford this.

That sounds so horrible. I shouldn't be judging him.

"I love your car." I say and he smirks. "You're going to love the way it sounds." He says and opens the door for me. I thank him and get in.

He gets in as well and we drive off after I tell him where I live.

We pull up to my house and walk in. I turn the light on and my back is immediately against the wall next to the door. Jaxon's lips move roughly against mine and I moan at the feel of his hands on my body.

He picks me up and puts my back against the wall. Parker's face comes to my mind. Those grey eyes. One hand on the wall and the other on my ass.

I pull back for air and he kisses down my neck. "Jaxon. Uhm.. I think we should stop." I say and he looks at me confused.

"What? Why? He asks and I close my eyes and lay my head against the wall.

"I just think we're moving too fast. I'm sorry if I-" I say but he cuts me off. "Hey. I get it. I think we should get to know each other better also. You wanna go on a date with me?" He asks and I smile. I nod and he smiles kissing my lips softly.

"Let's get you to bed, pretty lady." He says and I walk up the stairs with him following me.

We enter one of the guest rooms and I get the bed ready for him. "I'm renovating my room so you are going to sleep here and I will take another room." I say and he grabs my hand and I walk out.

"The bed is big enough, Kera." He says with a smile and I giggle. "I'm gonna go change and I'll be back." I tell him. I run to my room and close the door.

The whole renovating my room thing was a lie. I just didn't want to have two guys sleeping in my bed when it hasn't even been more then a week yet. We didn't and wouldn't be doing anything other than sleeping but it still didn't feel right.

I change and head back to him. He is already under the covers when I get back and I smile at him and jump on the bed.

"Goodnight, Jax." I say and he kisses my head as I snuggle up to him. All I can think about is Parker. I know it's wrong but seeing him tonight made everything with me trying to forget him even harder.

"Goodnight, Kera." He says and I drift off to sleep with Parker on my mind.
