- HEATHER ELIAS -
"Finally!" Jane squealed into my ear, making me flinch and really concerned about my hearing as her arms literally crushed me.
"Can't breathe!" I yelped and she finally let me go, smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry. It's just been so long." She said jumping up and down in excitement, a smile making its way to my face at her antics.
"Are you high?" I ask her and she rolls her eyes playfully.
"Heather?" A deep voice says and I turn around, looking into bright blue eyes and a smiling face.
"Chase!" I say smiling widely and both of us hug each other.
"Good to see you again teach." He said with a grin after we pulled away, making me roll my eyes at his name for me.
"Yeah right." I said as Matt and Dean came forward and greeted me with big hugs, especially Matt.
"Aw, did you miss me?" I cooed at Matt playfully to which he rolled his eyes but couldn't hide the smile forming on his face.
"As if. College is so much more peaceful without you around." He said smugly, making me fake gasp as I swatted his arm playfully as he pretended to be hurt.
"What the fuck?" I suddenly blurt out the words before I can stop them as my eyes lock onto familiar hazel ones.
"Jason?" I ask dumbfounded as he stalks over to me with his signature smirk etched on his face.
"Miss me?" He asked smugly, making me grin as he jumped forward to hug me, a laugh escaping my lips.
"When'd you come back?" I asked him excited after we pulled away.
"A few days ago. I'm back for good now." He said with a small smile as I clapped my hands in excitement.
"Oh my god, really? Does that mean I can get my partner back?" I asked hopefully to which he smirked and nodded eagerly.
"What else am I here for sweetheart?" He said spreading his arms as Zephyr walked over to us with Zarina tugging along behind him.
"Hey guys. And Jason. Good to see you again man." Zephyr side hugged the guys while Zarina talked to Jane and Dean animatedly about something.
"How about drinks and then we can get this party started?" Jane asked as we all gathered together and all of us cheered in agreement and headed towards the bar.
Someone's arms came around my shoulder and I instantly recognized the person, a smile on my face.
"Never thought I'd see the day that Xavier would come to a club willingly." I said to which he scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"I came for someone else feather, not you. Don't get your hopes up." He said flicking my nose and I pretended to be hurt by his words.
"Ouch, that hurt Xav, you know I've been madly in love with you for years!" I exclaimed dramatically and both of us stared at each other for a moment before erupting into a fit of laughter.
"Oh god, that was good." He said recovering as Jane ordered our drinks.
"You guys are weird." Zephyr said looking at us amused to which both of us flipped him off and turned to the first round of shots, immediately downing them in one go.
"More!" I exclaimed, slamming the small shot glass on the bar table and the bartender quickly put more in front of us.
In no less than twenty minutes, we were more relaxed and laughing on each other for no reason at all.
"So you found Jason?" Xavier asked me smiling and I nodded, playing with the curls in my hair as I stared at the dance floor with so much longing.
"I can practically see the yearning from here." Jane said as she dramatically plopped in the stool next to me, followed by the others who had formed a circle around us.
"What yearning? Who's yearning?" Chase asked confused, making us all chuckle at him as Jane pointed her finger at me.
"I dare you, to dance." She said, making my eyes widen.
"W-what? Like, right now? Here?" I asked fumbling with my words as she smirked.
"Yes, and not just any dance. I dare you to dance with Jason on..." She drummed her fingers on the table dramatically as the blood rushed to my face.
Please don't say what I think you're about to say.
"Despacito." She finished with a smirk, making my eyes widen like saucers.
"Are you fucking mad? You do realise my brothers are here." I tried to defend myself, but she wasn't having any of it.
"I know. I'm doing you a favour, now go on." She urged as I looked at Jason, who was watching me with a grin.
"Wait, you're a dancer?" Chase and Dean asked at the same time, and I nodded at them.
"Yeah, I used to be. Jason here was my partner." I said pointing to him and he stood up straighter.
"Then dance for us will you?" Chase said with a grin while I shook my head frantically.
"No! I can't do that! Especially on.. that song." I said, mumbling the last part as Jason grabbed my hands and I looked up at him.
"Come on sweetheart, it'll be like old times. Please?" He begged and made puppy dog eyes, knowing full well I couldn't resist them.
Darn it.
"Ugh fine!" I said and stood up, quickly downing another shot to relax more.
"Attagirl!" Xavier exclaimed excitedly as Jane jumped up and down and made her way towards the DJ to request him to put up the song.
"I'm seriously going to regret this later." I muttered to myself as Zephyr slinged an arm around me.
"Don't fret Thea. You'll do fine." He assured me and Zarina offered me a warm smile.
Feeling more confident, I stood up straighter and took Jason's hand, leading him towards the center of the dance floor as Jane gave me a thumbs up from the DJ's booth.
"Just like old times, yeah?" Jason said looking at me and I smiled making me feeling better and nodded.
"Yeah." I confirmed with a grin just as he backed away to give me my space to start off.
In the next second, the song had started off and I looked around a bit, feeling my friends eyes on me who smiled reassuringly, boosting up my confidence.
Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I smiled to myself and made the first move, then the second, and the third as a wave of nostalgia washed over me and I found myself moving to the familiar beat of the song.
A circle seemed to form around me as people stopped to look and on cue Jason stepped in, taking my hand in his and spinning me and from then, our dance started as all the moves started coming back to me.
Moving my hips, my legs, my body, I felt the music inside me as both of us moved to the beat, our movements becoming faster as the song picked up its pace.
Soon people were cheering as we did numerous body waves and other complicated moves, just like we used to before he had to move away to Russia.
This dance was by far the dirtiest dance we had worked on but we were both really comfortable with each other because we'd been friends for a long time.
His hands on my hips and my hands around his neck as my back faced his front, I felt someone's piercing gaze set my whole body on fire as we continued dancing passionately.
And then I looked up, straight into dark forest green eyes that held a fire visible even from this distance.
I bit my lip unconsciously as his gaze seemed to darken before my own eyes widened in alarm as he practically stomped towards the stairs and walked towards the dance floor.
Thankfully, the song was it its end and by the time we had finished, I was surrounded by my friends cheering and hugging me and others complimenting us a lot.
"Oh shit." I heard Jane mutter from beside me and looked towards her in confusion, following her line of sight and gulped myself as furious green eyes stalked towards me.
Whoops?
He grabbed my arm without any warning and pulled me towards him as he walked back upstairs, dragging me behind him.
"Roman!" I called out to him but he seemed to either not hear me or if he did, ignored me completely as I was led to a hallway with multiple doors.
Moody dude, I tell you.
Opening a random one, I was practically shoved inside and then he stepped in too, locking the door firmly behind him.
"What the actual fuck Roman? What was that?!" I exclaimed angrily, but recoiled when he pinned me with a cold and threatening glare.
"I should be the one asking you that, sweetheart." He spat, nearing me slowly as I walked backwards on instinct.
"What the fuck was that?" He seethed, his voice low as he backed me into a wall, our bodies pressed together as his eyes searched my own.
"What was what?" I bit back, looking him back in the eye when he grabbed my chin and forced my face upwards.
"What the fuck were you thinking dancing like that with that guy?" He hissed, clearly pissed off, making me scoff.
"It's called dancing, if you didn't know." I answered matter of factly to which he growled lowly at me.
"Drop the attitude or I'll fuck it right out of you." He grunted, making me completely speechless as words failed to come out of my mouth.
How am I even supposed to answer that?
I'm pretty sure my face was as red as a tomato at the moment the way Roman's lips twitched up and formed a smirk, his body pressing into mine even further, making a small gasp escape my lips.
"If I see any other man's hands on you angel, they're good as dead. Comprendere?" He gritted out and I could only nod.
"Words, angel."
"Si." I replied, copying his accent and watched as his smirk grew wider.
"Good." He replied, his eyes roaming my face before he pushed himself off of me, making me miss his touch instantly.
What the hell is wrong with me?
"Now, you will answer my questions." He said as he settled onto one of the couches, his legs slightly spread apart as he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, putting it to his mouth.
I watched the whole scene completely mesmerised, my eyes finally settling onto his very kissable lips.
I need to get my head out of the gutter.
Tearing my gaze away, I crossed my arms over my chest and looked him in the eye and watched as his gaze dropped to my chest for a few moments, darkening considerably before he brought his gaze back to my eyes.
Pervert.
"Who the fuck is Jason?" He asked me, releasing a breath of smoke and I watched as it dissipated around him in the air.
"Why do you care?" I asked, watching as his jaw clenched tightly.
"Answer the damn question." He grunted and I rolled my eyes at him before smirking.
Slowly walking over to him, I looked down at him from my standing position and watched as his eyes roamed my face for answers he would never find.
Biting my lip, I sat on his lap sideways and barely saw his shocked expression before he masked it, the corner of his lips tugging upwards slightly.
"Can I have a puff?" I gestured to the cigarette in his hand and saw the amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Have you smoked before?" He asked quietly and I nodded once, my eyes on his hands the whole time.
At first I didn't think he'd actually let me, but then he he brought his free hand to my lips, his fingers tracing them slowly.
"Open." He commanded and I did as I was told, opening my mouth slightly as his hand slid to the back of my neck and gripped it lightly.
Bringing the cigarette to his own lips, he took a deep inhale and then tipped my head back with his hand on my neck and lowered his lips onto mine, breathing out the smoke into my mouth.
Talk about hot.
I felt my eyes water slightly as I exhaled slowly after he pulled away, repeating the same thing a few more times as I adjusted to the smoke, my body relaxing instantly.
After a few more times, he put the cigarette to my lips and I inhaled it, then released the smoke through my lips, feeling much calmer than before.
Feeling bold all of a sudden, one of my hands slid up his chest and settled on his jaw and the other gripped onto the lapels of his black coat jacket and pulled him closer to me, pressing my lips firmly onto his.
At first he seemed to be taken aback but soon recovered from the shock and kissed me back, our lips molding together perfectly as my hands cupped his face to pull him even closer to me if possible.
Although before the kiss got any deeper, I pulled away and got up from his lap, noticing the way his face formed a small frown as he looked at me with confusion and dark eyes, but I ignored it and walked towards the door, unlocking it and stepping outside.
Seducing them always works like a charm.
Before closing the door I looked back at him and saw him standing a few feet away from me, one of his hands in his pants pockets as he judged me carefully.
"Jason is..." I said the name, looking away briefly before our eyes connected again, I smirked and spoke.
"An ex." I replied, noticing the way his eyes turned to those of anger and his jaw clenched, but before he could do or say anything, I had closed the door and was on my way back down to my friends, sighing deeply.
"Too bad he's gay now." I mumbled to myself as I watched Jason and Xavier making out near the dance floor and shook my head with a smile playing on my lips, walking over to Jane and thinking about why I didn't tell Roman that.
Maybe I wanted to see how he'd react.
It is kinda fun teasing him, don't you think?
