They squatted and ordered a drink while Roy scanned the environment of students rubbing against each other and stumbling all over the hall.
"This is a hell of a party" Roy commented and they brought their attention to him.
"This is nothing compared to the ones ahead" Jame replied
"Just a school re-union" Rex added
"You leave around?" Rex questioned
"No. Just here for the party"
"I see"
"Let's get this straight. Do you own the G3 Mercedes on the driveway?"
Rex chuckles "Yeah?"
"Man...you're damn rich" Roy muttered almost in a whisper.
Rex smiled sipping his drink but as soon as his eyes snatched Amanda’s presence with Sammy by her side, he hurriedly gulps once his drink
"Excuse me," he said to the boys and sauntered towards her.
Once he got there, he fastens Amanda’s arm and pulled her against his trunk.
“May I dance with you?” he requested gaining an unbelievable look from her.
“NO” she formally responded and his hands cupped her butt squeezing it gently gaining another look of shock from her.
“Are you crazy?!” she growled with gritted teeth
He chuckled “Wait until you reject my proposal for the second time then you will know if I am or not”
“May I dance with you?” he recited
She didn’t dare to refuse this time.
She nodded a little and he smirked “Good girl”
All the while, Sammy was irritated by Rex's possessiveness. However, he could do nothing about it.
"He just left us for a girl. Is she his girlfriend?" Roy questioned staring at
Rex was leading Amanda to the dance floor.
"Not yet" James replied and they chuckled at his response.
The music was changed to a slow one. Amanda became happy she didn’t have to swirl her waist and butt against his groin. However, she missed the worse scenario.
He held her tight unto him with his hand gripping her waists while her hands snaked his neck.
She had to stare into his eyes because of their closeness. Nevertheless, she couldn’t keep on for long due to his alluring gaze which contained the deem light's reflection.
He wore a long-sleeve white shirt that wandered out of his black pants. Unto it was a buttonless suit which had no tie. He looked a little rough with his unkempt hair. However, none of these made him less attractive.
All eyes were stuck on them as they led the dance floor with the romantic song of the year.
The restless ladies around became jealous of Amanda. They kept gossiping to themselves concerning her.
Nonetheless, Rex and Amanda danced in their world staring into each other’s eyes with less notion about their surrounding.
“You’re not beautiful” he complimented and she restrained her stare
“I meant the word beautiful is not enough to describe your beauty” he clarified receiving blushes from her. She looked away so he doesn’t notice how affected she became.
He grinned pleasantly then whispered.
“Who was that guy you talked to earlier?” he inquired and she revoked her gaze to him.
“A friend” she responded shortly
“I doubt he sees you as a friend”
“What do you mean?” she questioned
“Don’t be ignorant. Most of us dudes will never come to a lady just for friendship and talk with them at a great occasion like this instead of banging other ladies or being with friends”
She shrugged
“By the way, he was flirting with you earlier” he added and she just looked at him speechlessly.
“You always flirt with me. Does this mean you like me?” she questioned after a while
He was pulled to the present by her words for a second before responding “We are not friends. That only applies to a guy friend. So, our case is exceptional”
“If we're not friends then what are we?”
He smirked releasing his hands from her then holds her hand, and swirls her around before repositioning her unto him
“Addicted” he responded
“Addicted?!” she fused her brows
“Yeah. We’re addicted to one another”
“What does that even mean?”
“I don’t know. You should find out” he said and the music stopped.
He winked at her then walked away living her stunned.
“Oh my gosh! What was that?” Xena inquired
“Yeah what was that earlier? I saw the look you gave each other” Bridget added
She glowed at them blankly.
“N- Nothing” She became scared of repeating Rex's last words
“Are you sure it was nothing? Is there something we need to know?” Xena pressured
“No, there isn't! Stop interrogating me. Everyone is looking at us!” they all glimmered around and back to her.
“This is nothing compared to the jealous eyes peeping at both of you earlier. You needed to see those faces.” They both laughed.
“This is not funny! Who knows who recorded” Amanda yelled at both of them however, their laugh increased.
“That would be great! It will help tell those dirty girls where they belong.” Xena let out.
Amanda sigh in exhaustion as they walked to a seat.
...
The party became tensed and lively. But suddenly a problem arose.
Rex noticed students from different institutes. The fact that it was a Long beach party, created into Rex something dubious. He quickly notified his boys to keep eyes on the intruders.
“Where is Amanda?” Craig rushed furiously
“Where the hell did you go? I’ve been searching for you for a long time now” Rex questioned
“I was playing video games with some dudes upstairs when I discovered that bastard of a girl drew her f*****g name on my brand new car and smash my tires” Craig yelled
“What girl?”
“Who else if not for that crazy b***h called Amanda!”
“She can’t possibly do that” Rex shook his head.
“Don't f*****g tell me you're standing for her? Because I won’t sit back this time” Rex sigh f*****g his hands in his hair before regaining sights at him.
“Where are they?”
“I don't know what you're talking about?”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about!” Rex conceded coldly
Craig guiltily looked away
“f**k!!” he cursed.
