When I looked over to check on Bella, she was talking to two guys standing by the stereo. How did she not notice that they were looking at her body 90% of the conversation, and her face the other 10%? And what were the idiots thinking? She is too smart and beautiful for them. They were not even close to being in the same class as her. As if she could sense my emotions, she turned over and looked at me, giving me a little wink.

Inching my way over to her, I was stopped by a pretty little brunette.

“Hey handsome!” She purred in my ear. “I’m Cadence, your personal slave. Who are you tonight?”

“Jesse James” I said, not really interested in striking up a conversation with her. She had her fare share of drinks evident by her slurring words and the smell on her. The two combined were enough to make me want to leave. Unattractive!

“Well bandit, tie me up and sling me on your horse anytime!” Smiling a beautiful, sexy and inviting smile back up at me. Inviting me in.

“I have no rope, and I have no horse. You are going to have to find someone else to wrangle you up. Go check on the Marine. You should ask if he will take you to be his prisoner.” With that, I walked away. Leaving an open mouthed beautiful brunette behind, I went for another beer.

Another hour had passed and people started to do the infamous drunken dance in our living room. There was a group of about twelve or so dancing. In looking through the crowd I noticed Bella getting a little too close for comfort with one of the guys she was talking with earlier. She wasn’t kissing him. At least not yet. Just seductively dancing with him. She was moving her body around his, inviting him in. He then put his hands on her waist and started to move her hips with her and for her. This was something that I would have to keep my eye on so it didn’t get out of hand.

This guy was hot! Dressed up as a cowboy with nothing but boots, jeans, a vest and cowboy hat on. Unbelievable. As we were dancing his beautiful golden skin was glistening down to me. It was a sight that I was glad to be front and center for. Over the past few hours I had had a couple of beers, and recently moved onto the harder alcohol. I was in control of myself, for the most part, but I could feel my barriers slowly crumble. Truly not knowing if what I was doing was right, but didn’t care. It was as if I was letting go for the first time in my life. Letting lose and having fun. Honestly, I never knew that I could have so much fun in one night.
