Alec playfully gasped. "You aren't one of those really clingy girls, are you?"
I smirked and said, "Yes, I'm goin' to be stuck to you forever."
"I'm sorry, did you say you're going to suck on me forever?"
I snickered and swatted his shoulder. "You're dirty."
Alec leaned down and kissed my cheek. "You have no idea, kitten."
I looked down and smiled to myself. I repositioned my legs in front of me but felt my smile drop from my face when a foot touched my leg again, this time it began to rub up and down.
I ground my teeth to keep from saying something to Jonathan, and to keep from kicking the bastard as hard as I could. I literally bit my tongue and put up with it. I managed to put up with it for at least five minutes before I couldn't take it anymore.
"Excuse me, I've to use the rest room," I said and stood up, making sure I stomped down on Jonathan's foot as I turned.
He yelped.
"Oh, sorry."
Jonathan glared at me while I walked in the direction of the restroom - I was beyond happy that I’d hurt him in some way for touching me. I found the ladies restroom and froze when I found Mrs. Bane looking into a large mirror fixing her lipstick.
She looked at me through the reflection.
"Keela," she nodded curtly.
I nodded back. "Mrs. Bane."
She left the restroom without another word or glance in my direction and I thanked God for it. She greeted me by name which is more than I expected to get from her so I considered it progress.
I shook off the encounter then went into the toilet stall and relieved myself. When I was finished, I exited the stall and washed my hands. I checked my appearance in the mirror, nodded to myself then turned and headed back into the ballroom and to my table.
Alec was looking down at his phone as I reached the table. I raised my eyebrows as I sat down.
"What?"
"It's about fucking time, Keela!" Alec snapped lowly.
He shoved his phone into his trouser pocket and stood when I moved to take my seat next to him. He gripped the back of my chair and pulled it out for me. I was shocked as hell - he was displaying manners and was acting like a... gentleman. I was about to thank him when he slapped my arse as I positioned myself to sit down.
I rolled my eyes and tried not to react because honestly, I should have seen that one coming.
"You're a pervert," I muttered lowly as I moved my seat closer to the table.
He grunted as he retook his own seat. "Be thankful I didn't leave a mark, you deserved it for leaving me out here on my own for hours."
Hours? I was gone five minutes at most.
"I'm back now so why are you complainin'?" I asked, sighing.
"I was bored... and Jason's sisters keep hitting on me."
See, sluts!
"I'll give on the girls annoyin' you, but it couldn't have been that borin'-"
Alec cut me off with a wave of his hand and said, "It was. Trust me."
I gave him a look and asked, "On a scale of one to ten, how bored were you?"
He looked me dead in the eye and said, "I read the terms and conditions for the new iOS update on my phone. Twice."
That bored?
"Jesus," I said.
Alec dramatically nodded his head.
I chuckled at him. "Well, I'm back now... and just in time for dinner it seems."
Waitors arrived and began placing plates with different meals in front of the people seated at the tables. I inhaled the smell of the food and heard my stomach growl.
Oh, I was going to enjoy this.
When dinner was over, music started to play and the large dance floor that was to the far right started to fill up with both young and old people. Mr. Bane and Koda got up to dance and so did Jonathan who took his mother to the dance floor. I was ecstatic over because I was one more toe stroke from knocking the cunt out.
Alec asked me to dance as well, but I told him I couldn't move and that I had to let my food digest. He only laughed at me. Since I declined to dance with him, Krista Bane made sure to ask him to which he accepted.
"You don't mind, do you?" he murmured to me.
Did I mind?
"No, I don't care."
Yes, yes I did.
Alec hesitated. "When you say you don't care is that Man Bible code for you really do care? I'm not very good at reading people so I don't know what you're trying to say."
Men.
I rolled my eyes. "It's not code for anythin'. Go dance, whatever."
Alec snapped his fingers at me. "Whatever is another way for woman to say fuck you, I remember that one."
I was going to strangle him.
"Alec you're startin' to annoy me."
He chewed on his lower lip. "It's only a dance."
"Go dance then."
His smile was only annoying me further.
"Keela, you don't have to be jealous, it's only a dance."
I nodded curtly.
Alec chuckled, then leaned down and kissed my cheek.
"I won't be long."
Damn right you won't be long.
"Okay."
I sulked as I watched Alec take a beaming Krista by the hand and lead her to the dance floor. The music was fast, so they didn't actually have to touch each other while they danced and I felt a bit better about that.
"Jesus, what is wrong with me?" I muttered to myself.
How the hell could my feelings and attitude change so rapidly towards Alec? A few days ago I would have been delighted for anyone to take his attention away from me, but now... now I don't want his attention on anyone else but me.
Maybe I was being clingy with him.
Fuck!
It has only been five days since I met him. Three of those days I was hostile towards him, and now we were in the early stage of dating where everything is perfect and I was the picture of happiness.
Once again, it has only been five fucking days since I met him.
