The Party

“Are you okay Ver?” asked Neela as she checked out Veronica in her rear-view mirror. “Yes. I am. I think” said Veronica. “All good. Just needing to get away from the house is all” Nisha turned her head to look at her best friend who was just staring out of the window while fidgeting with her phone. She saw the way Ziad looked at Veronica and, while she was all for free love in this crazy world, he was way older than her best friend and a family friend too! Veronica was obviously thinking about something. She was frowning at first, but a smile was slowly forming on her face. Meanwhile, Veronica was lost in her own thoughts. She was still drowning in the memory of Ziad’s scent and his intense gaze. She couldn’t believe that she had wanted to kiss him when he leaned in closer, but she could swear that he could feel that heat between them. She saw the way he looked at her. She wasn’t sure if he had ever looked at her that way before, but this was the first time in so many months since she had looked him in the eyes. It was weird, scary, but it made her feel so daring and bold. “Alright ladies, we’re here” said Neela, disturbing the thoughts Veronica had. Early 2000, hiphop and R'n'B music was blaring from the villa with school mates dancing to Nelly's It's getting hot in here remix. The Lees kept an amazing house with their pool area well decorated with outdoor string lights and a complete grilling area that Leon and Jeremy were manning. The girls were just tailing Neela while taking in their surroundings until they both smelled the smoky tart sweetness of the bbq the boys were flipping on the grill. "Hey baby" said Neela to Leon and kissed him on the lips. "I've brought Nisha and Veronica with me. I hope that's okay" she said while stealing a piece of meat from the platter. "Veronica?" both guys said together while eyeing her in confusion. "Yea. Veronica. She looks great, doesn't she? She just needed to lose the glasses" said Neela, and hugged Veronica. "Come on girls, let's go over there and eat. I'm starving" The girls ignored the shocked looks Leon and Jeremy had and followed Neela to the buffet table and grabbed plates to pile up food. ---------- "She looks hot doesn't she?" said Jeremy while placing a slab of marinated meat on the grill. "Who looks hot?" asked Daniel. "I was just inside for a few minutes. What did I miss this time?" "Veronica is who you missed bro" said Leon, slapping Daniel on his back. "Bro. I already knew she was hot. You idiots are the only ones who are blind. She just needs a bit of a makeover", Daniel said, taking over the grill for Leon. "Nah bro. She already had one. Look over there" said Leon, pointing to Neela and the girls with her. Daniel looked over to where Leon was pointing at and saw a new Veronica. She was just eating away happily while chatting with Nisha without a care in the world about how much food she was scarfing down. She looked really great. Would she notice him now after how his friends annoyed her constantly? "Dude, you're burning the chicken. Stop staring and go over there to talk to her man" yelled Jeremy, and yanked the tongs away from his hands. "Shoot. Sorry bro. I was just thinking of something." "Whatever man. Go there and talk to her instead of us" said Leon. "I'll join you in a minute." --------- Veronica knew it was Daniel who had sat down beside her just as she finished her meal. But she didn't care. She was there to enjoy and she loved being around the sisters who always made her feel wanted. "Alright girls, here are your drinks" said one of Neela's friends, who sat down with a tray of vodka and some red bull. Daniel seemed to suddenly choke on his food, which made Veronica act fast and thumped his back with her hand. "Are you okay?" she asked as he slowly began coughing less. "Yea he's good" said Leon suddenly, as he sat beside Neela. "Now let's drink!" With Nisha to her left and Daniel on her right, Veronica felt comfortable enough to drink despite the fact that it was her first time to try alcohol. The first glass tasted so sweet and fruity, but the second started to have an effect on her. It was starting to get hot and she just had to slip out of the jacket she forgot she had on. Nisha was already standing up and dancing in place like the other girls while singing to Usher's Lean Back until she managed to pull Veronica up and encouraged her to let loose and enjoy the music. An hour later, a couple of glasses in Veronica was dancing with the group with disco lights set up on a made-shift dancefloor. She didn't realize that Daniel had found his way to her and was dancing behind her. She was quite tipsy already but loved the music and how the bass made those pumping beats on her chest. Next thing she knew as she turned around to PDC's Don't Cha, she was face to face with Daniel. Feeling quite daring and naughty with the drinks, she turned around and backed up, making sure her back was as close as possible to Daniel's body. She felt his large hands on her waist and she continued to sway her hips, letting him feel every movement she made. She was burning up and all she knew was that she wanted some release. --------- Daniel was keeping an eye on Veronica from the very moment she took her first sip until the moment she stood up to join the girls on the dancefloor. She looked so sultry dancing in those jeans that hugged her bottom nicely and a top that showed her curves. She wasn't thin and she wasn't fat either. She was just perfect in all the right places and he wanted her. He was taken aback when she turned around and saw him behind her, but was even more surprised when she turned around and started to dance with him that close. With those heels she had on, it gave her perfect height for her bottom to grind on the right spot and he was getting a hard-on every minute. "You have no idea what you're doing to me, Ver" Daniel told her, leaning closer to her ear. "I want you so badly, can you feel it?" Veronica just grinned at herself. She could feel him getting turned on and she could feel her wetness pooling between her legs. She wanted him to touch her more but there were just too many people. "Ver, I need to touch you babe" Daniel said. Veronica turned around once again to face him and placed her arms around his neck. She smiled at him and pulled his head a bit closer. "I don't think so" she whispered to his ear, then slowly nibbled on his earlobe. Facing him once again and winking, Daniel couldn't stop himself from crashing his lips on hers. Veronica naughtily giggled through the kiss and opened her mouth to catch his bottom lip with her teeth and gently nibbled before giving him another peck on the lips. "Damn it Ver, I want you.." "Excuse me young man. I believe you have someone that belongs to me" Veronica's eyes suddenly widdened upon hearing that voice and she quickly stepped away from Daniel. "Uncle Ziad, I...." Without a word and with everyone watching, Ziad took Veronica's hand and dragged her away. He looked beyond pissed as he seated her beside the driver's seat and buckled her in. His knuckles were turning white with the grip he had on the steering wheel. "I'm sorry I didn't see the time..." "No Habibi. It's not about time. It's about what you were doing. Why..." "I'm sorry, please don't be mad, don't tell Dad please..."begged Veronica as she touched Ziad's arm. He suddenly stopped the car at the side of the road and sighed. "No Veronica, I won't. But you need to promise me that you won't do that again. You're too precious. If you need someone to spoil you or hug you, I'm here. I'll always be here" Veronica nodded and looked at her uncle in the eyes. "I could use a hug right now". Ziad removed his seat belt and moved towards her to remove her seat belt before pulling her in for a hug with his face by her neck, breathing in the sweet smell of strawberries and coconut from her hair. Veronica closed her eyes as she found comfort in his embrace and scent. But this time it made her mouth water and her skin was hot from the touch of his skin. She could even feel some stubble growth on his jaw as his face brushed her neck. She wanted to run her fingers through his hair while he was busy running through her hair. They were enjoying each other's scents until Ziad realized what he was doing. Hopefully, she was too drunk to remember the hug. "Okay baby girl, let's get you to a McDonald's first before I take you home. That should help with all the alcohol you've drunk".
