infested party? I looked up from my game and holy fuck! Was that Victoria? She was wearing a tight navy blue dress that hardly covered her ass. And thank god for that, it is the best ass I have ever seen. Her blonde hair fell in waves over her shoulders and her eyes were so intense. I usually wasn’t a fan of brown eyes but when she had been crying the other day at school, I noticed the green tinge in them and realised they are the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen, and this moment, really cemented it. The top of the dress tied around her neck and draped down in front of her chest just far enough for me get a good look at what I’d call an ‘A-plus’ rack. I felt guilty saying that though. She didn’t look slutty like the usual girl. She looked beautiful.
“I know, I look like a whore. It’s Natalie Trent’s. I had nothing to wear and they kinda forced me to wear it.”
“You can’t wear that.”
“What? Yes I can.”
“The guys are going to be all over you. You know there’s going to be drugs and alcohol yeah? And the boys just go to these parties for one thing and you look like you’re up for giving them that.”
She looked at me stunned. Stunned and angry.
“I can handle the boys thanks. I came to you for a lift, not a lecture Dad.”
Shit. She started walking away.
“Sorry… Sorry…Victoria come back. I’m sorry. I’m just trying to look after you. I can be a little protective sometimes.”
I could see her relax slightly.
“Yeah I kinda have noticed. You’re a total jerk.” She said this seriously but then laughed.
Phew, a joke, she’s joking. I must’ve still had a hurt look on my face though.
“Relax man. I’m only joking.” She teased me.
“Yeah I’ll give you a lift you nerd.”
She tried to shoot me an angry look but she couldn’t keep a straight face and we both laughed.
Victoria
I found my friends as soon as I got to the party and we made our way straight for the alcohol. My plan was to just hold the same cup all night and pretend I was used to this party atmosphere. Five minutes in and Tanya was already all over Jake. I could see Sarah watching with a sour look on her face. I don’t know what Jake’s game was but damn these girls were really stupid. Jake was different this time though, he kept shrugging her off and I kept catching him glancing over at me. I decided to leave my friends for the bathroom. Well, that was my excuse, I just went outside instead and sat down near the fireplace.
“Well don’t you scrub up nice Victoria?”
I looked over and Jimmy McBride was dragging a seat up next to me. I hadn’t talked to him at all but I knew him as one of Jake’s friends and I had actually noticed him a lot—he was very good looking.
“Thanks.” I shyly replied.
“Do you know my name?”
“Should I?”
“I don’t know but I hope so.”
I smiled and I could feel myself blushing.
“Is it something like Jimmy?”
“Bingo! You are so smart Victoria….that’s why I like you.”
Before I had time to respond, another friend of Jake’s was yelling out the door to Jimmy.
“Oi Jim, put your dick back in your pants, we’re playing naughty games in here.”
“Comin’ man, I’m bringing Victoria.”
And with that he grabbed my arm and pulled me up while I tried to make up excuses for him to leave me outside. He wouldn’t take no for an answer.
“Relax Victoria, you’re with me.”
I took a deep breath and followed him inside. We entered the room with Jimmy holding my hand leading the way. Natalie and Gabrielle raised their eyebrows at me showing they were impressed. On the other hand, I could feel a hole burning through me from the looks of Tanya and Jake. When I looked at Jake though he smiled at me. He then swung his arm around Tanya’s shoulders and she moved closer to him.
“Okay, okay, everyone. We are playing ‘never have I ever’,
