Invitation To A Party II

Adam was talking about the arrangements of the party and the dress code, things that would be tolerated and things that wouldn't be since the host of the party were his parents. But all this while that he spoke, his eyes still remained on me and it caused some sort of flurry feeling to assail me continuously.

"Does this suit your taste, Maya?" He asked, when he was done talking, causing me to go into another fit.

Naomi snickered again before handing the water over to me for the second time. She must be finding this very hilarious.

Well, wasn't it? And why the hell was I coughing? Was it because he was addressing me in public or what? Jeez, Maya, get a grip on yourself.

"Maya.." He called again, ignoring Claire's rude snort.

The girl must be gritting her teeth at this point. She must also be wishing that I was dead and buried, for having gotten the attention of the king.

Well, too bad, it was only for tonight. I would have loved to torture her the more with this facade that Adam was putting on.

I was sure that he was trying to make amends because his father had instructed him to.

Another fact about the triplets, they never apologize, just like their father. They just make up for their mistakes with parties or gifts to get you sated with so much goodness that you have no choice but to let the grudge go. But there is never an apology.

Naomi pinched me then. "He is calling you, Maya. For god's sake, get a strong grip on your mind and emotions. You're acting weirdly now." She whispered, and I bit my lips hard, calling myself all sorts of curse words in the book.

Jeez, concentrate.

I looked at Adam squarely, withdrawn again when I realized that he was stealing glances at my lips now, and that his eyes were now a deeper shade of blue, just like they were when we were in Naomi's kitchen yesterday.

The dude was horny.

I don't know if I should be happy, pleased or disgusted about that. It doesn't matter anyway. I will be out of here by Monday. So stilling my nerves, I answered him blandly, as if his features had no effect on me. "Yeah, it is okay, Adam."

Then, I licked my lips, this time more slowly and intentionally, curious to check something out.

When I saw Adam's eyes get one more shade deeper, I smiled. The dude was actually easy to please.

"Maya, I will need to see you later. I need to discuss some of the party activities with you. Meet me outside the cafeteria now. Don't worry about lunch." He stated immediately, shocking me, before walking out of the class without a backward glance.

Noah casted wry glances between I and his departing brother, not understanding what was happening or rather why what was happening was actually happening.

I could see he believed that I was fine, but he sure didn't get why his brother was fixated on me. I don't know either. We had that in common.

He looked at me again, and then at Naomi who squirmed under his gaze, before he walked out of the class.

There was a silence and then an instant outflow of activities. Everybody was talking about the party, the party and me.

They wished that they were in my shoes, the perfect guest of honor for the king.

I almost scoffed at them. Why hadn't they wished they had been bullied too? Bunch of idiots.

"Well, that was intense. Aren't you going to meet him? What are you waiting for?" Naomi asked, even as Claire and her minions came to stand before our desks.

"Don't think for a second that you have Adam to yourself. He is just playing with you, wanting to have a taste of you before you leave the pack. He probably wants to know how a wolfless girl tastes like." Claire said, obviously seeking to bother me and prevent me from going to see Adam but I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction.

"If that is true, why are you telling me? Shouldn't you happy that he is trying to break me before sending me away? Shouldn't you be in cohorts with him?" I asked her, smiling when I saw the anger begin to cloud her face. Wow, I'm good.

Claire stamped her right foot on the ground thereafter, her right-hand hitting Naomi's desk in anger, before walking away from the class, her minions running after her.

Idiots. I cussed, returning my attention to Naomi. "I am going of-course. I am as curious as you are to know what party plans he wants to talk about." I said, winking at Naomi who chuckled and shook her head, not believing what she was hearing or what I was implying.

I must have grown bold in just a day. What a spontaneous growth.

"So how about you? Do you like Naoh?" I questioned her, remembering that she had squirmed when Noah had gazed at her earlier.

"That dyke? Never. He is so full of himself," She said, looking elsewhere. Her earlobes were red now, and I knew that she was lying, but I wasn't going to push it. She will tell me all about it when she is ready. That settled, I stood up from the seat.

"Walking with me, best friend?" I called out to her and she chuckled standing up too.

"Of course hottie. Let's go." She said, intertwining our hands together as we strolled out of the classroom.
