Stuck On You

Chapter 12: Beach Party

I woke to soft lips on my neck. I smiled lightly and stretched before I opened my eyes. "Good morning,"

he said quietly. "You know we have rehearsal in a few hours," he said. I nodded and turned into his

chest. He rubbed my back gently.

"I'm sleepy," I muttered. He chuckled.

"We're doing another partner dance. We'll have to be really close," he whispered. I smiled and kissed

him.

"We can be close here," I argued.

"Always fighting with me, huh?" he chuckled.

"We argue, we don't fight; there's a difference," I said, sitting up. I ran my fingers through my curly hair

and sighed. "Can we call in sick or something?" I joked, repeating his words back to him. He chuckled

and went to go get dressed.

"We already slept in late enough. I wouldn't want you to break your pack with Lana," Hayden said with

a slight smirk. I looked at him shocked. He chuckled and shrugged. "Quinn told me. We are friends too,

you know." I sighed and shook my head before I walked over to my room. He smacked my butt on my

way out.

"Hayden!" I said. He only laughed. I dressed in my workout clothes and went to the center room.

Hayden was sitting on the couch. When he saw me, he stood and we left.

At the warehouse, rehearsal went like rehearsal always goes; except there wasn't any tension between

Lana and Quinn and me. Lana didn't care that I was partners with Hayden anymore. It was a very

touchy dance but it was leaning towards hip hop. Hayden and I couldn't get through it without joking

around. After rehearsal, I was all sweaty and hot. I dabbed my neck with a towel and let out a breath.

The hip hop dance required more ab work and balance. I was tired already. I plopped down on the

couch and sighed.

"Kill-er," Quinn panted. Lana was fanning herself with her hand as she held her hair up.

"Why is it so hot today?" Lana asked. Hayden came over and sat on the arm of the chair. He reached

over and kissed my hand. I grunted and closed my eyes.

"It's too hot," I complained.

"Party tonight near the beach," Luca said, walking towards us. I pulled my crop shirt off and sighed.

"Hayden, let's go home, there's air conditioning at home," I whined. Hayden leaned over and kissed

me. I pushed him away and looked at him. "It's too hot for that," I said. Hayden chuckled. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Yeah, alright, let's go," he said, helping me up. Back at the apartment, I took a shower immediately. I

wrapped a towel around my body and sighed as I walked to the middle room. It even felt too hot to put

clothes on. I sat on the couch and tucked my feet under. I sighed and turned the TV on. Hayden came

out in his boxers. He smirked at me and plopped down beside me. He looked towards the TV for a

minute before he looked at me. He started tugging at the tucked flap of my towel. I slapped his hand

away and chuckled.

"Hayden," I said. He pulled me on top of him. I squealed and held my towel down. "Hayden!" I said. I

stood and fixed my towel. I went to my room and put a sports bra and pros on. I walked back out and

straddled Hayden's lap. His hands rested on my hips. I leaned down and kissed him gently before I bit

my lip lightly.

"We don't have to go back, you know," he said softly. A corner of my mouth pulled up in a small smile.

"We can't just lounge around in bed all day," I said, even though the idea was looking more and more

appealing. It was really hot outside. We were probably better off in the air conditioning anyway.

"Granted, the heat wave is a good reason, there's a party tonight, and I really want to go. It's near the

beach so it should be cooler," I explained. His hands ran over my butt before they went back to my

hips.

"Yeah, it could be fun," he finally agreed.

The party was in full swing by the time we got there. I wore a short sundress with a cardigan and

wedges. Hayden had my hand in his as we went to where we saw Luca and Quinn. Luca smiled at us

and handed Hayden a drink. Quinn tried to hand me a drink too but I shook my head.

"You know I don't drink, Quinn. Plus, I'm only 18," I said. Quinn laughed, opened the drink, and put the

drink in my hand.

"When in Rome," she winked at me. I rolled my eyes at her. I took a drink. It took everything in me not

to spit it right back out. I swallowed it and shook my head. They all laughed at me. I took another drink.

It was easier to swallow the more I drank. I felt buzzed after a while. I felt good. Grabbing Hayden's

hand I walked over to where people were dancing. I swayed my hips to the music. I felt great. Hayden's

hands were securely on my hips. We danced for what seemed like hours. The nice cool breeze coming

in from the ocean felt nice. I finally retreated back to where the drinks were. I grabbed another drink

and chugged it. My brain felt slow, but I didn't care because I felt like I was floating.

"Okay, I think it's time to take you home before you do something you'll regret," Hayden said. He said

goodbye to everybody before he drove us back to the apartments. It was then that I noticed that he

seemed completely sober. I touched his face.

"You're hot," I giggled. He laughed and parked the car. Getting out, he went around and opened my

door. I leaned out of the door and wrapped my arms around his neck. Hayden scooped me up and

carried me inside. He set me down on the couch and took off my shoes. I crawled on the floor and sat

on Hayden's lap. I kissed him sloppily.

"Let's have sex. Consider this, me begging," I said slurring my words. Hayden chuckled and stopped

my hands.

"Not like this, Jo. You're drunk; I'm not going to take advantage of you like that," he said. I pouted and

kissed him anyway. Hayden laughed and slid out from underneath me. He scooped me up and laid me

down on my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.
