A Lesson In Love

Chapter six

ABBY'S P.O.V

"Hey Abby!" Stephen jogged behind me after leaving our last class of the week. "Are you going to Josh's party tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, I am going with Lucy. What about you?" I had only hung out with Stephen a couple of times; he seemed nice enough. 

His grin grew on his face at my answer. He appeared to be excited about my going. Of course I'm only going for Lucy and as good looking as Stephen is he is no Shawn. "Yeah. Josh is my best friend and I also live at the frat house with him."

"Oh ok well I will see you then!" I turned away from him to continue my way to spend some time with Shawn. It was only a two minute drive from campus. 

When I arrived at his doorstep I could hear him singing some Def Leppard tune. I knocked on the door and he swung it open. "POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!!" He belted out. 

"Oh my. Aren't you talented?" I giggled. Shawn could not carry a tune in a bucket, but he knew this. I loved his sense of humor. He could always have a laugh at himself.

"Yep!" He smirked, "Brains, beauty, and a melodic voice."

"Oh please I was referring to your impression of a dying cat." I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

Shawn walked in after me and plopped on his couch next to me. "Well  beside my hideous singing ruining your ear drums how was your day beautiful?"

I shrugged my shoulders in response. "It was alright. I finished my psych paper and Ms. Lee has been some what nicer to me this week." I swore that teacher has it out for me, but I had no idea why. "What about yours? You all packed for your camping trip with Jason?"

"My day was fine. Glad the week is over." He sipped his beer and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "I'm all packed. Fishing rods, tents, sleeping bags, and all the other essentials."

I had not been camping since my father died. Hopefully I would be able to go camping with Shawn in the future. "Cool... Stephen told me he is going to the party tomorrow too." Shawn knew Stephen was just a friend so I knew that me hanging out at a party would not be a problem for him. 

"Please promise me you will be careful. Lots of shady things can happen in frat parties." His usual carefree expression was gone and replaced with worry. His hands caressed the side of my face with one hand while I played with the fingers he rested on shoulder.

"I promise." I gave him a small smile as I snuggled deeper into his chest while we watch the movie we had picked out. I never imagine I would be this comfortable with a man not after HIM....

It was Saturday evening; Lucy and I were getting ready for Josh's party. Shawn and Jason left early this morning for their camping trip. I had stayed the night with him and he was a perfect gentleman. The more I spend time with him the more I care for him.

"Yo Abs you in there?" I peered up and saw Lucy waving her hands in my face looking amused. "Thinking about your calculus teacher again hmmmm??"

I flushed. "Is it that obvious?" I would normally deny it, but Lucy would have easily called me out on it. I have learned that it saves time to just answer her honestly. 

"Girl, yes. I'm pretty sure there's a puddle in your panties right about now." She wiggled her eyebrows. 

This chick could be so vile sometimes. I shrugged as I went to my closet to find an ensemble for the party. The dress I chose was a knew length royal blue bodycon with a zipper down the middle of the front with half sleeves. It clung to my curves like second skin; I wore a part of black ballerina flats and  left my hair down. I decided on neutral make up with some black eyeliner, mascara, and pink lip gloss.  I snapped a picture and sent it to Shawn. 

Shawn: You're killing me... ;) 

Me: ;) 

Lucy's dress was a shimmering black bodycon with spaghetti straps that reached mid thigh; she paired it with matte black pumps. Her make up was darker than mine. Her silver eyeshadow with black above and at the corner gave a smoky look. Along with that she wore false eyelashes and ruby red lipstick and pink blush. She straightened her hair and kept it down as well. 

After we were done getting read we made our way to the frat house. It was already pack' the music was thumping loudly behind the walls. When walked inside there were numerous bodies pressed up against each other like one big orgy. The smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol was thick in the air. Lucy and myself reached the bar in the kitchen and did a couple shots of tequila and grabbed some beer. "Lets dance." Lucy suggested. 

Went to the middle of the floor and swayed to the music. Lucy went off dancing with Stephen somewhere; I was grateful because I for one had not wanted to dance with him. As I danced by myself a pair of strong muscular arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me back against a hard body. I could feel him grind his hard on against my ass; my whole body stiffened in reaction to the invasion of my personal space. The man, who I could not see clearly in the dark, leaned in towards my ear. "I bet you taste as good as you look. How about I found out?" He took my earlobe in his mouth biting it harshly making me gasp. 

I turned my face toward him, hoping to get a could look at his face, but it was still too dark; his hot breath fanned my face while I felt one of his hands drift down to my ass giving it a rough squeeze. I tried to push away from him, but his grip on me was far too tight causing me to panic. "Let me go creep!" I shoved him away violently with the hand not holding a beer and took a few steps backward to ensure a proper distance between us. 

He held his hands up in surrender and backed away. "Feisty, I like it. I'll see you again soon." He turned around and started talking to other girls in the room. 

I walked around for about half an hour drinking my beer and looking for Lucy with no luck. The room slowly appeared to be spinning causing me to stumble a bit and my vision had blurred. I faintly heard people asking if I was ok. What is wrong with me? Someone caught me when I tripped over my own feet and picked me bridal style. "I told you I would see you again soon." And everything went dark.
