with his computer and disco ball that flashed a rainbow of colors around the room. The music was loud and people were pressed up against each other, grinding and humping. Two girls were sprawled on the couch, going at it like they were the only ones in the room. Sweat, funk, and body fluids floated in the air and it made me want to puke.
“Okay, this is pretty crazy.”
“Told ya.” Delaney rolled her eyes and I could see the regret laying within them.
We walked through the kitchen to the backyard where there was a huge kiddie pool filled with blue Jell-O. Two topless girls were smearing it all over each other like sun-tanning lotion. A group of guys cheered them on as one girl rubbed it all over the other girl’s nipple and sucked it off. As we walked past them, the girl licking and suckling winked at me and ran her tongue over her lips. I froze. What she trying to hit on me? Never had I seen anything like this. I was appalled, to say the least.
“Oh my God.” I pulled Delaney back and whispered in her ear. “Did you see what that chick just did to me?”
“No, what happened?”
“I think she likes me.”
Delaney burst out in laughter. “Everyone here will like you. Trust me.”
“Let’s go inside. I’m freezing.” I shuddered and wrapped my arms around myself. “I can’t believe I let you talk me into wearing this.” I straightened the off-the-shoulder purple dress I had on. Delaney wouldn’t let me wear the sweater I wanted to borrow from her. She said that I’d look like a prude in it. Noting all the girls dressed in micro mini skirts and dresses, she was right. They were dressed for a mid-summer party, minus the pool.
“Oh shit.” Delaney scurried behind me. “Hide me.”
“Why?”
“Matt is here. I don’t want him to see me.”
I put my hands on my hips in an attempt to block her behind me. She pushed me, moving us through the hordes of people. “If I fall, it’s totally you’re fault.” My ankles wobbled as I tried to balance myself on the three-inch platforms. I made a mental note to practice walking in heels more often.
“Stop griping. They make your legs look sexy.”
We stopped in the kitchen where a guy was pouring liquor into the mouths of all those that had lined up. Everyone was yelling and shouting that they wanted to be next. And so did I.
“Come on, I want what he’s giving out.” I pulled on Delaney’s arm, making her stand.
“Are you sure?”
I wiped the sweat from my palm and sucked in a deep breath. “Yes.”
“Are you sure you won’t be regretting it tomorrow?”
Winking, I eased behind a group of girls. “No regrets.” With an accidental bump, one of the girls turned around. “Oh, sorry.”
“Hey, you’re, um…”
“Lexi. And you’re Amber, right?”
“Yep.” She adjusted the tight bun on her head. “Hey, Delaney, didn’t see you.”
“Hey, Amber. Where’s Shelby.”
“Somebody say my name?” Shelby danced her way toward us.
“Hey, girl, let’s do a shot.” She flung her arms around me and breathed her tainted breath all over my face. “Whoa. Are you sure you need another one?”
She flashed a lopsided smile. “I’m just getting started.”
“Where’s Josh?” I looked around. If he was here, so was Raven.
“He’s over there somewhere.” She motioned with hand. “Where’s Raven?”
Delaney looked at me and then back at her. Maybe Raven wasn’t with Josh after all. “Um… I don’t know.”
She pouted. “Don’t tell me he already dumped you.”
Her comment hit me square in the chest and I tried to ignore the wrenching pain tugging at my heart. “Well, umm—”
“Who wants one?” A guy sat on the bar, yelling as he held a bottle in each hand. “Line up girls!” He motioned for Amber, Shelby, Delaney, and me to sit. I eagerly approached the square bar chair and sat, pressing my back against the edge.
Another guy handed me a lemon and then sprinkled a heap of salt between the webbing of my thumb
