Delilah
Rayland's been staring daggers at Sam all night. After the incident earlier with Sam, Rayland was closer to me the whole night.We finished our game of twenty questions. I learned a lot about him. When I asked him why they moved to Farrington, he told me because they wanted a change, but I don't believe that's the whole truth, but I didn't push it. He got a call a few minutes ago and I haven't seen him since. I hadn't seen Hazel and Jake since we got here. Keagan's been flirting with girls all night. Me?I'm sitting on a couch alone, a little drunk and a little horny. I think my best bet for tonight is Sam. In my drunk state of mind, I know it's a bad idea, but the person I want is somewhere outside on the phone. Blowing out a breath, I made my way over to Sam and his buddies. Sam's in a conversation with them, but when he sees me he stops what he was saying and gives me his whole attention.
''Hey babe, where's your little boyfriend?''
''On the phone and he's not my boyfriend''Stepping into his personal space trailing a hand from his soft lips to his jaw and down his white shirt stopping on his stomach. He doesn't have a six-pack like Rayland or a sharp jawline or....why am I comparing him to Rayland? Shaking my head to get the thought of him out, I focused on Sam.Leaning closer to his lips, so they brushed slightly on mine.
''You wanna get out of here?''I whispered for him to hear and give him a flirtatious smile. He doesn't say anything, he just takes my hand in his and leads me to the door and when he opens the door. Surprise surprise when Rayland stands there, phone in hand, his attention on it. His jaw is clenched, his brows are pinched together and his bottom lip is trapped between his teeth. He looks a little mad and when he lifts his eyes to me, they soften a bit until they land on Sam and our joined hands and his anger can be seen in his eyes. He looks at me again and he must see I'm not in my right senses.
''Let her go''It's so soft I barely heard it. When I feel Sam tense beside me, I know he heard it too.He didn't let go. In fact, his grip tightened around my hand. Rayland doesn't look happy at that.He takes a step forward and grits through his teeth again.
''I'm not gonna ask again Sam''His jaw is tight, there's a dangerous glint in his eyes and I'm suddenly scared of him.I've never seen him like this.Looking up at Sam, I can see he's a bit scared, but he masks it and reply's to Rayland.
''She asked me to take her home''He squares his shoulders to match Rayland, but Rayland's build is larger than his.Rayland looks over at me with a brow raised.
''I was bored you left me alone in there''I pout for effect.. But he doesn't say anything. He looked back at Sam.
''I got her. Now you can go back to the party''He was talking to Sam. He's voice is dangerously low and I think my panties just dampened a little.
''She asked me''Sam argues back.Pulling his hand out of mine and putting his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into his side.Rayland just watches, growing annoyed with Sam.Running he's hand down his face like he's trying to contain his anger.
''You should step out of his side and move over to Rayland before he punches this twig babycakes, because trust me it's not going to be a pretty sight''Keagan whispers in my ear from behind and stumbles past me to stand next to Rayland.He's wasted his hair is a mess his lips has red lipstick all over it and I can see a hickey on his neck.Guess he got lucky unlike me.Blowing out a breath deciding to put all this to a stop, I step out of Sam's hold and stumbles toward Rayland. Guess I'm just as wasted as Keagan.Coming to a stop in front of Rayland, putting my hand on his shoulder for support so I don't fall on my ass.I look up at him through my eyelashes to get a better few of his face up close.
''Can you take me home Ray?''He tenses at the name but then relaxes.
''Sure babygirl, come on''He takes my hand in his and leads me to the car, Keagan right behind us.Rayland glances back at Sam in the doorway,but moves his attention back to me ,helping me into the passengers seat and then I remember Hazel.Like he could read my mind he told me she and Jake already left.Relaxing into the seat I turn to look at the backseat to see Keagan already passed out.The drivers door open and Rayland steps in and starts the car.Turning my head so I can look at him he's still angry.
''Why are you so mad Ray?''I slurred in my drunken state.
''Why did you want to leave with him?''He doesn't answer my question and asks one of his own. I can see his jaw clenching and unclenching.
''Not important.You were already mad before you saw us together.Why were you angry?''With a yawn I lay my head back on the seat still looking at him.
''Someone from home made me mad. Now it's your turn, why did you want to leave with him?''Guess I have to tell him the truth.
''I was horny''I say in a small voice, lowering my head so he doesn't see my flushed face.He doesn't say anything and when I look up he's smiling, his eyes still on the road.
''You could've come and found me shortcake''He's still smilling he's looking at me now there's a mischivious glint in his eyes.''I would've helped you''I can't stop blushing I think I'm already red as a tomato.Turning my head to the road not wanting to look at him anymore.My eyes began to feel heavy. Closing them so sleep can take over.
