NINE…

Chapter 9.

3 years back........

PERCY'S POV.

"Yes she gave him her number, and now they chat on IG and facebook but it is just that. Nothing more. They wont go past friendship...if we can even call it that.."

Sam argued back. These idiots were now getting on my nerves. They've been going on about how Phoebe is giving me a hard time and how for the first time, a girl had rejected me.

But me being me, I wouldn't accept defeat, ever!

"You people have been walking with me for sometime now but you don't even know me. Just wait, I'll show you what i can do."

"This is what we gonna do then....bet or no bet?" Sam smirked.

"Oh yea? Really? OK fine! Just wait and see. I'll get this girl screaming my name in MY bed!"

I announced.... It was a silly argument which didn't call for a bet but when you're a hormonal teenager with an ego as big as your head you don't think twice before jumping on a moving train.

I didn't even care about what they thought but I took it up anyways and I found myself plotting on how to get on her good side. No girl ever put me to shame and she wouldn't be the first..

~~~~~

I knocked at the door with hope that She'll be the one to open it and she did. I gave my best smile and her eyes widened. Taking her in slowly, I groaned to myself and rubbed both hands together, forcing my eyes off those legs and uo her face.

"What are you doing here? "

she whispered.

"To see you, what else. Since you have refused to answer my calls..here I am!" I grinned widely.

"Please leave. My father is around."

I looked as if hurt then smiled a bit.

"What, you don't want your father to see your friend?"

I raised my voice. She looked behind her and then back at me.

"Please go from here.... My father can't see you. And you aren't my friend"

This time round she was almost in tears. Ignoring the pang in my heart at her words,

"Fine, I'll leave ......on one condition."

"What! " she snapped

"We're having a party tonight at our bungalow and you must show up."

"No I can't. My father...."

"Oh come onnn! You're 18! Can't you have a little fun? It's not as if we eat humans there." I said

"I can't.."

"You can't, or you don't want to?" I smirked.

"I don't want to. Why would I hang with you and your friends? We aren't even friends."

She mumbled.

" Doesn't look like you have much of a choice babygirl.....alright then Phoebe! If you won't..."

I raised my voice and she covered my mouth with her hands.

"Ohk fine, fine. Where is the bungalow?"

I smiled .my plan is paying off.

"Just behind campus."

"Is it a big party?"

"Always." I told her and she sighed.

"Ok. ill be there."

"See you then."

I blew her a kiss and she rolled her eyes...her beautiful eyes and shut the door.

Yes!

That evening, the party begun earlier than usual. I couldn't stop watching the door. I had lost hope. she wasn't going to come.

Fuck! I went for water and on entering the room, I saw her walk in. Dressed in a blue dress, her Friend behind. she looked like an angel.

From no where Nessa appeared and placed her hands around my neck and pressed herself against me. From the corner of my eyes I saw her stiffen and a smirk covered my face. With a promise that I'll give her what she wants later, I excused myself and I walked up to her with the smirk still on my face.

"You made it! " I sung.

"Happy?" She asked.

"Let's sit." I guestured towards my friends and nodded at her friend. She shivered a bit then followed me.

"Look who we have here guys." I called to them as we sat down among the group of drunk guys and half naked girls.

"Hei,I know you." Sam said to her and she smiled a bit.

"Want a drink? " Sam asked. She shook her head.

"Oh come on drink something."

I said and reached for the bottle of beer on the table and stretched it towards her.

"I'm good. I don't drink."

"What,you're a nun or something?" Sam asked admist laughter.

"Ok,what about some juice." I returned the beer and take juice. She eyed the cup suspiciously but took it.

"Thanks." She said.

"What about you beautiful?" I asked her friend.

"Same" she said shyly.

From nowhere, Nessa appeared and took her seat on my laps. I wanted to push her away and tell Phoebe that she's a whore but I just allowed her.I didn't want my friends to think that I'm acting innocent because of her. I watched as she turned her attention somewhere else. Sam switched places with kait, if that's her name and sat beside Phoebe. I watched in annoyance as he kept chip chatting with her while Nessa was all over me.

"Will you stop this?"

I gritted but she ignored me and continued grinding against me, moving with the beat of the loud music. I swore under my breath.

"Can I have this dance?"

Sam's question got me whipping towards them. she turned to look at me. No way! Nobody fools around with my Phoebe. I pushed Nessa away and stood up then.

"She's my guest and if anyone should ask for a dance,it should be me." I said and took her hands and led her to the dance floor.

"I'm not really good at dancing. Maybe we should just sit down........before your girlfriend.... Bites off my head......she's shooting me a warning look."

She said and I turned to see Nessa with folded arms,watching us.I laughed.

"Who? That's not my girlfriend. I don't do girlfriends". I said.

" Ok.but I don't wanna dance."

"What do you want to do then." I asked.

"Talk. Let's get to know each other better."

"Not bad.you wanna go out? " I asked and she nodded. I led her out and we took our seats right on the bottom of the stirs.

"Soo,you got siblings?" She asked.

"A brother." I answered simply.

"Why did you insist on me being in here this evening?"

"Why do you wanna know everything? Looks like I'm under investigation or something...what did I do madam detective?"

I asked and made a funny face. she laughed and hit my arm playfully. I found myself staring at her. She's so beautiful. I wondered if she was worth giving up my Playboy life for.

I heard footsteps and looked, Nessa was walking towards us. The bitch. Should she be a stalker all the time?she called my name and I turned to look at her.

"There's something I need to show you."

She said and took my hand, totally ignoring the fact that I was with someone. I rolled my eyes and shook her off.

"Can't you see I'm busy? " I said through a clinched teeth.

"Busy enough to resist? " she said tugging at my shirt.

"It's ok.you can go.I'll wait." Phoebe said

"No way.I want to spend time with you that's why I made sure you came. Whatever it is she has to show me can wait."

Nessa seemed not to believe it. When have I ever rejected her offer.As much as I wanted to go with her,I wanted this chic to fall for me.I have promised my friends this and so shall it be.I'll get into her pants and afterwards, she ends up like all the previous girls.

~~~~~

We were having a good time. I felt Phoebe warming up to me. I decided to try my luck. When her laughter died out after something I said, I stared at her. We were still sitting on the stairs, closer now.I Looked down at her lips and bit on my own. Her eyes followed my every move and she looked flustered. Taking that as my cue, I learned forward and our lips touched for a brief second. She jerked back and gasped in shock.

"Percy!! " she shrieked . I knew that instant that I had made a mistake.

"I'm sorry...I ..."

She ran for the door before I could complete my statement.

"Phoebe! Wait!...."

When I entered the fully packed hall, she had already pushed her way through the crowd and up the stairs. Lucky walked up to me.

"What happened? Why is she in a hurry to leave?" He asked

"Leave?"

"She was looking for her friend, said they were living...."

"I'll be right back.."

It took me some minutes before finding her. I apologized a hundred times. In the end,we were cool but I had to let her go home.. She was still in shock. I understood she hadn't expected her first kiss to happen in that manner and I cussed at myself.

" I'll plan this properly next time". I said to myself.
