Chasing the Bartender

The Beginning of Complicated

DAVINA POV

9 YEARS AGO (ONE WEEK BEFORE GRADUATION)

My brother Dane and his best friend Levi are throwing a party tonight to celebrate the end of their first year at the community college in town. Normally I wouldn't go, but seeing as how it's at our house while our parents are in Europe again, I can't really avoid it. But I also have my other reasons, too. I've been in love with Levi for years, and my best friend Hadley, who is also Levi's younger sister, is making me go.

As I look through my closet for something to wear, Hadley bursts into my room. Her long black hair is straightened, and in a high ponytail, her makeup is soft and natural, making her green eyes stand out. Her clothes are definitely fitting for a college party, a short black fitted dress with long sleeves that are loose from the shoulder down but tighten again at the wrist.

"Who's ready to party?!" She shouts happily as I continue to dig in my closet.

"Are you sure I can't stay in my room?" She scoffs at my question. Looking over my shoulder, I see her expression of disbelief.

"No, you can't hide out in your room. We graduate in one week, and then we're off to college ourselves. You've spent enough time with your nose in your books and studying. It's time to live it up!" She does a little dance as she finishes her statement. I spent almost all my time studying and trying to be perfect to get into my dream school to study archeology.

"Can you help me find something to wear?" I ask sheepishly as I turn back to my closet.

"Oh girl, I got you." I turned to face her to see her raise a bag I hadn't noticed she was carrying.

She walks to my bed and sets down the bag. I walk over to join her as she pulls out some matte black open toed heels and a wine red shirt fitted dress that has flutter sleeves. I would ordinarily turn her clothing choice down, but this just might be my only option fitting for a party like this. After putting on the dress and heels, I walk to my mirror and take in my long, wavy hair and simple makeup that somehow makes my blue eyes shine.

Hadley and I make our way downstairs to where the loud music, dimmed lights, and alcohol consumption have already been happening for an hour. As we walk around, we're met with cat calls and whistles. After a few minutes, I realized I'm alone. Looking around for my friend, I see her with a cup in her hand flirting with a tall, muscular guy. I move outside where the music isn't as loud and the smell of alcohol isn't as strong. Sitting on the far end of the yard on the swing I loved as a little girl, a guy makes his way towards me. As he stumbles his way to me, I start to get a bad feeling.

"Hey, pretty girl." He slurs. maybe if I ignore him, he'll go away? "I think you and I should go get to know each other somewhere a little more private." So much for hoping he'll go away.

"No, thank you." I stand and try to walk past him. This was a terrible idea, I should have stayed in my room. The guy drops his cup and grips my arm as I try to pass him.

"It wasn't a question." He tightens his grip. I'll probably have some bruises by morning from the tightness of his hold. I try to pull away.

"Let me go!" I yell, trying even harder to free myself. that only seems to encourage him as he wraps his arms around me and begins trying to kiss me. This can't be happening, and no one seems to notice or care that this guy is going to force himself on me. I keep yelling, hoping that someone will notice, or he'll snap out of his drunken stupor and stop. A rough, loud voice breaks my panic as the guy is pulled away from me.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He yells as he puts himself between my and my assailant.

"Trying to get some ass, but you're ruining it, Adams."

"She said no, Jake. Move along, or would you rather go through me to get to her?" The guy I now know as Jake pales and shakes his head.

"s*x isn't worth fighting you." I stayed hiding behind my protector as I assume he leaves. The one who came to my aid turns around, and for a minute, I'm lost in his beautiful green eyes. He leans down so we're at eye level with one another. Levi Adams. I begin silently swooning over him. Black hair is messy. He brushes a few of the pieces that are hanging down into his eyes as he looks me over. He's a foot taller than me at six feet and five inches. His green eyes lined with long black lashes meet mine as his mouth moves. His beautiful lips. I try to focus, but I can't. He looks at me expectantly as if he asked a question, I shake my head slightly to clear my clouded mind.

"Sorry." I smile nervously and look at the ground. "What did you say?"

"I asked if you were hurt at all?" He's still bending down with his hands on my shoulders.

"I... I think so. I, um, I should probably just go to my room. I think I've had enough partying for today."

"I'll walk with you, just in case he or anyone else tries again." He steps to side a motions with his hand for me to lead the way.

I walk in front of him, and once we make it inside again to the very loud and crowded room, I feel hands on the waist, causing me to freeze. Then I hear his voice close to my ear.

"Hope you don't mind, but this will deter anyone from trying to stop you, and make sure that I don't lose you jn the crowd." I just nod and start walking again.

The whole way to my room, all O can think about his hands on me, how close he is, how nice he smells, and wondering what it would be like to kiss him.

LEVI POV

Dane wanted to throw a party to celebrate our first year at college, I was hoping it'd be small. Hadley insisted on coming, which I wasn't too happy about. I was sitting over by the beer even though I don't drink when I saw my sister and Davina coming down to join the party. I know I should keep an eye on my sister, but I can only look Davina. She's always breathtaking, and over the years, I've found myself wanting her. I had hoped that I'd be able to get over it, and I had a string of flings to take my mind off of it, but it's never worked. I saw my sister part from her friend and I watched her walk over to Dean, one of the star football players, he's a good guy so I'm not too worried. I begin looking around the room to find the only girl who's ever managed to get under my skin, but I can't find her. I know she's not really the party type, so I start looking around.

Heading outside after not being able to find her anywhere inside, I hear some yelling on the far side of the yard. My blood runs cold when i realize it's Davina yelling at Jake. He's notorious for not taking "no" as an answer. I rush over to help her escape him. It takes all my self-control to check her over with what she's wearing and how she smells. She always smells like warm sunshine and fresh flowers. Once she comes out of her daze, she says she just wants to go to her room. I walk behind her, and when we get inside, I take my chance to just touch her the way I've wanted for a while and place my hands on her waist.

When we get to her room, I go inside with her and sit beside her on the bed.

"Are you sure you're ok Vi?" She looks over at me with shock in her beautiful blue eyes.

"I think so. Thank you for helping me, I tried to get away, but he just tightened his grip." She looks at the floor, I place a finger under her chin and bring her face up so that her eyes meet mine.

"Did he hurt you?" A small blush starts in her cheeks.

"Just where he grabbed my arm, I'll be ok." She whispers.

"Can I see?" She studies my face for a minute to see if I'm really as worried as I sound before moving her sleeve enough for me to see the red spot on her arm. I go to get up so I can go down and hurt him for hurting my precious girl, but she grabs my wrist with both of her hands.

"Please don't leave me yet?" I sit back down and cup one of her cheeks with my large hand.

"Would you like to change?" She nods her head. "Do you need help with the zipper?" she nods again. I know I shouldn't, but I want her, in every way. She leans down and takes off the high heels before standing. She's so small compared to me. I reach slowly for the zipper and begin to slowly move it down, exposing her perfect porcelain skin. Not being able to stand it anymore, I lean down and kiss her bare shoulder blade. She leans back into me.

"Levi." She breathes and then turns to face me. I see the same want in her eyes that I have. I cup both of her cheeks and lean down and kiss her. She reaches up and wraps her arms around my neck as I move my hands down her sides and pull her closer to me. The kiss becomes more passionate, and slowly, clothes start coming off. Once we're both wearing nothing, I look down to appreciate this divine gift lying before me. I make eye contact with her, and she catches her breath, her perfect breasts rising and falling.

"Are you sure?" I ask, hoping that she won't deny me what I've wanted for years.

"Yes." She breathes out. I lean down, kissing her again as my hand slides down her body to her perfect v****a and I begin rubbing her little bud as she moans under me. She's so wet, and I groan into the kiss.

I slowly run my hand back up her body as I reposition myself to be lined up with her perfectly. I enter slowly, and I feel the slight resistance. She's a virgin, and it makes me even harder if it were possible.

"It'll hurt a little at first Vi." She nods as I thrust in and groan. I wait for her to adjust to me. After a minute, she nods her head, and I start to move in and out of her. After a while, we both c****x and lay there breathless next to each other. I pull her into me as we both slowly start to fall asleep. If I could have this every day, I would be the happiest man on earth.
