Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Party (Part 2)
Loud repetitive music with strong bass that made your heart thump together with the beat, kids jumping in the pool, boys begging girls to kiss each other, girls just doing it for fun, and the spiked punch that made people lose their inhibitions.
"Ooohh...This is definitely not a party for middle schoolers." I said as I drank my third glass of cosmopolitan today.
"Eddy~" Jenna ran toward me and hugged my arm suddenly the minute I turned my back.
"Oh damn it." I muttered as I almost spilled my drink from her sudden approach.
"Where did you go? I almost couldn\'t find you~" Jenna acted coquettishly while pretending she didn\'t know what she was doing. She kept moving her body, rubbing her skin against my arm as she hugged me.
\'When I ditched you for the third time tonight, I expected you to take the hint already. It\'s either you\'re a special kind of dense, or you ignored it all just to get your target,\' I thought as I took a sip of the drink using a thin red straw.
Jacob was talking with some boys he knew, and he kept his words with me to not acknowledge Elsa in this party, causing the birthday girl to go crazy for him.
"Hey NEWGATE!" Suddenly, a hormonal teenager called out to me as Jenna was only paying attention toward me in the entire party.
Jenna and I both turned to the source of the voice and saw a group of teenagers – all boys with only their swim pants on and bare body, were walking toward me. Jenna\'s face contorted in anger as her scheme was cut short, but the boys didn\'t seem to notice that.
"Sup." I replied casually while still sipping my drink and no notable change in my facial expression. The boys were confused as it wasn\'t the reaction they expected me to have. They imagined I would be shaking in my boots and get away from Jenna immediately, but it seemed that they needed to do something more.
"I heard you are dating a goth girl?" Boy #1– Nate, a skinny, African-American boy with dreadlocks said instigatively. "Good for you. Weird kids should stay together."
"Oh. I agree with that. It\'s good that you have found your group now." I retorted casually. Boy #1 become angry and tried to lunge at me, but he was stopped by Boy#2–Ollie, a blonde haired, blue-eyed football player with the same height as me and some muscles on his body.
"She got big boobs right? I guess you\'re enjoying yourself every night sucking on that." Boy#2 said as he laughed and high-fived his friend like he did something great. To be honest, I didn\'t really care about them and never even bothered to learn their names.
"Don\'t feel bad. At least you can suck on your dad\'s dick every night." I sniped back as no one could insult my girl and still got away with it. Jenna giggled at my remarks and hugged my arm again.
"What the fuck did you just say?!" Boy#2 stampeded toward me –feeling both jealous of me because of Jenna, and also wanting to pay me back for my accusations.
But Jacob walked beside me and Jenna at this moment. His towering stature and unkind face caused the boys to stop in their tracks before they managed to get to me.
"What?" Jacob stared at them. With a whimper, Boy#2 fall into a stutter. "I-I-I-I I\'m going."
The group of boys retreated quickly after Jacob decided to interfere. If only they knew that the kind giant didn\'t even have the heart to step on an ant, lest punching other people, they wouldn\'t be so scared of Jacob.
"Teenagers are weird." I muttered, causing both Jenna and Jacob to look at me in confusion.
"You\'re a teenager too?" Jenna asked.
"Am I? Or am I really a CIA agent who\'d been tasked to infiltrate a school to find the enemy of James Bond?" I said seriously.
"Bro. You\'re drunk." Jacob snarked in derision.
"Yeah. A little bit." I confessed.
Then, his eyes shook and his face flushed. I narrowed my eyes at him because of his weird reaction.
He explained himself quickly while freaking out, "I-I didn\'t mean \'Bro\' as in \'Y-you\'re my bro\'...But a \'Bro\' in general! Yes. That\'s it!"
"Hmm? But...Aren\'t you my bro? Why are you embarrassed to say it?" I asked in confusion.
Jacob widened his eyes, and asked in hesitation, "I\'m...your bro?"
"You\'re not?"
"No! I AM!"
"Okay...bro." I said with a sly smirk that made Jacob blush. He hesitated and said, "Bro?"
I nodded and said, "Bro.."
"Bro!"
"BRO!"
"BROOO!!!"
Jenna narrowed her eyes at us and said, "Are you guys becoming bros? Or becoming a couple?"
I turned toward her, and inches my face closer to her face. I stopped with only a 2 inch distance between our faces, gazed into her eyes and said, "Why? Jealous?"
I teased her for the first time ever while I was excited. Jenna\'s face blushed and she avoided my eyes by lowering hers.
\'Ah shit. I really need to stop drinking.\' I thought as I realized what I had done. I moved my face away from her as she fidgeted her body. "Ed..Do you want to see my room?" Jenna asked while biting her lower lip.
"No need. By the way, when will the cake come out?" I asked.
"Cake?" Jenna asked in confusion as I changed the subject.
"This is a birthday party right?" I asked. "A birthday party has to have cake."
Jacob nodded in agreement at my words, but Jenna was extremely baffled by the situation.
"You did get her a cake... didn\'t you?" I asked after Jenna was still not answering my question.
"I..forgot..." Jenna said and defended herself quickly, "...I want this to be more of an adult\'s party! In my mom\'s party, the birthday girl will come out with some frosting...and all the people will \'eat it\' off her. I already prepared that stuff for Elsa!"
Sighing at the same time I dropped my head, I said, "Jenna. She will beat you up. Where did you learn all of this stuff anyway?"
"No she wouldn\'t!" Jenna said anxiously. "Ugh. Where can I find a cake at this hour?!" She looked at the sky in contemplation before she turned to me and said angrily, "And also, I learned it from my mom! You say you like mature women!"
"Yes, I did say that. But even a mature woman eats cake on her birthday. You know, a normal mature woman."
Jenna was flabbergasted by my words, and she huffed away from me for the first time tonight.
"Broo.." Jacob called me in a low tone, his eyes begging me to do something as he pointed to Elsa who was talking with a group of girls at the side with his eyes.
"I know broo." I replied and walked to the staff area before I talked to the cute waitress who\'s serving the drinks. "Hey, has the cake arrived yet?"
"What? There isn\'t any cake delivery in the schedule?!"
The red haired waitress started to freak out as it was her first day on the job. Not only did she have to wear an itty bitty bikini, she had to suffer some harassment from the young, entitled little brats there that couldn\'t keep their hands to themselves.
Her stature was a bit beefy from the other girls working there, and I couldn\'t help but feel a sense of familiarity when I looked at her.
"Hey, hey. No need to freak out. There is still an hour left before we\'re going to cut the cake. Why don\'t you talk to the party planner and get a birthday cake for the birthday girl?" I said while flashing a charming smile that made the waitress\'s head go blank for a bit.
"Oh- But I-"
"Or you can go pick up the cake yourself. Just take one of the cars in the garage and go. It\'s better than serving some horny boys right?"
"Um-Um.."
"Not only that, the client will be very grateful to you that she might recommend you to another job that\'s infinitely better than this one."
Finally, the waitress succumbed to my words of temptation. "Okay. I\'ll go pick up the cake."
"Great. Give me your number, I\'ll text you the store location. I\'ll contact the store for you and make the payment by myself so you just need to give my name to pick it up."
My impression inside of the young girl\'s mind rose up quickly, and she said with a blush, "O-kay."
I gave her the key to one of Jenna\'s mom Mercedes, and a jacket for her to cover up her swimsuit.
"Hey, your wig is falling off." I said as I leaned through the car door to fix the waitress\'s wig.
"What\'s your name cutie?" I asked flirtatiously.
"I\'m...not supposed to tell you..." She was hesitant for a while, but then she replied, "But my name is Penny." She replied.
"You\'re from Nebraska?" I asked after seeing the similarities on her face when I compared it to another actress from a sitcom I know before.
Shocked, Penny replied, "How did you know!?"
Finally confirming it, I said, "Just a hunch."
"Oh my god. Do I look like a country hick out here?" Penny asked anxiously.
"No. You\'re very beautiful." I replied. She brightened up and said, "Thanks."
"Godspeed." I said and knocked on the car door twice. "Remember, my name is Edward Newgate. The cake is for Elsa." I said and winked at the waitress before waving her off.
She drove away with a face full of smiles as it was the first time she had ever driven a luxury sports car. "Edward huh. How nice." She muttered as she get pass the main gate.n
With a drink on her hand, Jenna quickly approached me in horror after seeing someone driving off in her mom\'s car.
"What did she do?" She asked quickly. "Did that skank just steal my mom\'s car?"
I turned to Jenna and said, "Nah. She is picking up the birthday cake. My dads business has a connection to a bakery near the Marina. You won\'t believe how many people would forget to get the cake until at the last minute."
"Oh." Jenna exclaimed in realization. Then, she smiled widely and put her hands on her back before she inches closer to me. "Are you helping me?"
She did try to tell the planner about it, but they would only listen to her mom.
"Nope. I\'m giving my birthday present to Elsa. That\'s all." I replied and walked away from a giggling Jenna.
Suddenly, Claire called me directly after I had sent the waitress away. I picked up the phone and asked, "Hey Claire, Is there a problem?"
"I saw a receipt for a cake being bought just now. Should I arrange for the crew to pick it up?" Claire asked hurriedly.
"Ahh..No need. The cake is for another event. I had already arranged for someone to pick it up. Also, stop snooping around the business when it\'s outside your working hour."
Flabbergasted, Claire said, "I didn\'t do that."
"Claire. I can see the frequency of everytime you open up the company\'s account. Do you want me to graph it out and send it to you?"
"...I-"
"Shouldn\'t work at this hour." I interjected before she could make excuses for herself. "Log off the company account before I\'ll set up a limited time access for you. Once you open it for 4 hours next time, it will be shut off. Do you want me to give you a bedtime curfew like that?"
"NO DON\'T!" Claire shouted immediately.
"Okay. So will you manage your time better?" I asked in a parenting tone.
"FINE." Claire replied like a rebellious teenager. I smiled before I ended the call with her and rejoined the party while Jenna followed me around like a baby duck following its mother.
"Everyone, we will move the party inside for now." Jenna suddenly said. She smirked and then continued while eyeing me hungrily, "We\'re going to play...spin the bottle."
The boys cheered at her announcement while the girls were pretending to be embarrassed by it.
I turned to Jacob and said, "Told ya."
...
The kids were sitting around in a circle, waiting for Jenna to start spinning the bottle.
Jenna explained, "Here are the rules. When the bottle lands on you, you can choose to enter the closet – to kiss, or just to talk, whatever you want to do. You will have 7 minutes alone together in the closet. Or you can ignore it when the bottle lands on you. However, if you ignore it, you cannot participate in any of the games later."
"The birthday girl can do whatever she wants, and the rules won\'t restrict her." Jenna added. Elsa nodded in embarrassment and shot a glance at Jacob – who was still ignoring her. That action however, made Jacob extremely irresistible to Elsa.
The group nodded and the game began. There were 20 people there. 8 girls and 12 boys. So there will be 4 boys who wouldn\'t be able to do it. Almost all the boys had fiery eyes right now as they wanted to be the one picked to enjoy their own personal moments of heaven inside the closet.
"I\'ll begin." Jenna said, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she opened it back up revealing her fiery glint as she gazed directly at me.
"First couple!" Jenna twisted the bottle forcefully, making it spin in high speed at the middle of the group\'s circle. Finally, the bottle slowed down, and it would land on the boy\'s side. As it slowly passed through a boy\'s position, grunts and moans could be heard from their disappointment.
"Wait...it can\'t be..." I muttered as I saw the bottle tip moving slowly towards me. Then, it pointed straight at me, before it landed on Jacob who was on my right side.
"M-Me?" Jacob muttered anxiously while pointing at himself.
"Tch." Jenna clicked her tongue as she missed her target. "Yup. You. Now, to pick the girl." She lost interest and spinned the bottle without thinking much. Elsa\'s heart beat quickly as the bottle spinned. Then, it finally slowed down and it landed on a random girl at the party.
With polkadot bikinis and tied up hair, the short and stacked, cheerleader girl looked at Jacob up and down before biting her lips and said, "Okay. I\'ll do it."
Suddenly, Elsa crawled to the bottle and turned the bottle head to her seat before moving back to her seat. Everyone opened their mouths in disbelief, and even Jenna was a bit disappointed with her friend\'s desperation. (Ironic isn\'t it?)
"What? The birthday girl can do whatever she wants right?" Elsa said in embarrassment.
Jenna nodded in agreement and said, "True. Okay. Jacob and Elsa, your 7 minutes start right now."
She led them to a dark closet and pushed both people in before she returned to the circle.
"We will wait until they are done before picking the next couple." Jenna said. I turned to the closet\'s direction and whispered, "Good luck Jacob." Then, I stood up from the circle.
"W-Where are you going?" Jenna\'s eyes shook as she watched me getting up.
"Oh. I\'m just staying here to support Jacob. I\'m not interested in the game." I said dismissively and I walked out of the living room where the game was played.
"W-wait. Wait!" Jenna called out to me hurriedly.
"What?" I asked while turning back to her.
"Are you really not going to play?" She asked again.
"Yup." I replied simply and went back to the pool where I would just lay down on one of the chairs while waiting for the cake to arrive.
"Wait-" Jenna stood up hurriedly to chase me.
"Hey, what about the game?" Boy#2 asked.
"Do it yourself. I\'m out too." Jenna replied and ran away.
"Well...if she\'s out..." Then a few more boys that came here especially for Jenna stood up and abandoned the game, leaving only an equal number of girls and boys there.
But...no one wanted to continue the game now as the girls felt like leftovers in the party as almost all boys wanted Jenna, and the boys couldn\'t proceed if no girls wanted to play.
"He fucking ruined the game!" Boy#2 gritted his teeth in anger as he thought about someone particular who was sipping on some drinks right now.
A brown, short haired girl in a rainbow coloured shirt and denim overall looked around in excitement and continuously texted her sister about the affairs currently going on in the party.
"Oh. This party is so much fun." Enid muttered as she kept reporting everything she saw and heard at this party.
(Just the same name, no supernaturals)
[3rd Person POV]
Inside the closet.
"So..." Jacob muttered, avoiding Elsa\'s eyes while she gazed intently at his face.
"So what? Why are you avoiding me today?" Elsa asked in confrontation while continuing to stick her face close to Jacob, although she needed to stand on her toes to do it. Then, she slipped and fell right into his embrace.
"Be careful." Jacob said as he wrapped his arms around her to prevent her from falling. Her hand fell into his chest, and she could hear his heartbeat beating quickly as he hugged her.
*Ba-dump* *Ba-dump* *Ba-dump*
"Wait. Do you...still like me?" Elsa asked while raising her head to meet his eyes.
"When did I ever stop liking you?" Jacob replied innocently.
Then, Elsa pushed him away, causing him to fall flat on his back.
"Ouch!" Jacob exclaimed as his head was knocked onto the floor.
"Shut up." Elsa said as she straddled him and started to kiss him passionately while they were on the closet\'s floor. She was following Jenna\'s advice to literally push the one she likes and take the lead in this matter.
Their first kiss in their entire life started out awkwardly, with just a peck on each other\'s lips. Then, they become comfortable with the pace, and Jacob decided to take a step further by moving his tongue toward Elsa\'s mouth.
"Umm.." Elsa moaned as she didn\'t expect Jacob to do it like that. Then, Elsa ran her hand all over Jacob\'s body before he did the same thing on hers.
They lost track of time, and they made out for over 20 minutes before realizing that no one was calling out for them. Finally separating from each other, they walked out as they were hearing some commotions from the pool area.
