《Colliding Ambition》Chapter 28

*NOT EDITED*
We'd stayed at my parents until 15 before 4 so it's like 7 by the time we get back. We're in our room for not even 15 minutes when there is a knock at the door. Rohan answers it and then I hear cheers.
Rohan comes back in and following him is Kai, Chase, Reid and some girl, Liam, Wyatt, Mason, Alex, Mick and some girl, Andrew and John.
I furrow my brows and stand from the couch, "What's up?" I ask as Chase comes over and throws his arm around my shoulder.
"We're going out tonight. To a bar before going to the most famous haunted house, well the other way around." Chase says. "You guys up for it?" He gives me a questionable look, with a deeper question behind it.
I look to Rohan and give him a questionable look. He shrugs, "If your up for it, I'll go."
I nod and then they all cheer again.
Before I get out of the room Rohan pulls me aside, "Are you sure your up for this, we don't have to go?"
I cup his jaw, "I'll be fine, Cap." Him caring about my feelings makes me all giddy, "Just...stay by my side?" I whisper.
"I'm never leaving your side again." I can hear the playfulness in his voice but also a statement. He kisses my forehead and grabs my leather jacket, he slips it onto my arms.
When we get to the lobby of the hotel, Chase is waiting for us. "We're taking 2 different rental cars, a van and a truck. Your with me, Liam and Wyatt."
"And, uh, who's the sober drivers?" I ask as we walk out of the hotel, Rohan's hand goes to my back.
"Liam is our sober driver and Mason is the other." We head over to the silver truck.
Liam's already is the drivers seat with Wyatt in the passenger seat. Chase, Rohan and I are in the back with me in the middle.
"So we're going to the haunted house first?" I ask slipping on my seatbelt.
"Yup, it's very hard to get into but thanks to an amazing guy, he got us in." I narrow my eyes, "I got us in, one of my uncles friends has a job there."
I chuckle. Wyatt ends up playing his loud ass music until we get to the haunted house. Mason and the others beat us here since Chase had waited for us.
They're all waiting outside the van by the time we walk over to them. "Let's get our asses inside!" Reid yells as he takes the girl and starts walking towards the ticket booth.
This haunted house is on a farm. I see a sign indicating that inside the actual farm house is the haunted house and not too far away is a sign indicating a 'Spook Walk' which I think is like a walking haunted house?
"Shit," I hear Rohan swear. When I look over at him I him tapping his pockets, "I must've forgot my wallet, fuck."
I smirk, "It's okay, Cap, I'll sugar mommy you." I say tapping his chest.
Chase hurries us before Rohan can answer. Once we get to the booth Chase takes the lead. "Hey, I should be on the list with the party deluxe, Chase Jackson."
The woman looks over each of us then down on her computer. She nods before looking back at Chase, "I just need to give each of you a bracelet pass, but first is that cash or debit?"

Chase turns to us and everyone takes out their half which is 10$, so I take out 20 and pass it to Chase. "Katherine you don't have to pay for me." Rohan says with a scowl on his face.
I try to keep my laugh from spilling out, "If I weren't to pay then how would you get in?"
His scowl deepens just as Chase passes us our bracelets. "Which one do you guys want to go in first, house or walk?"
"Let's save the walk as last." It's Kai that speaks but he's distracted by something and when I look where he is, I see why, a blonde girl is with another girl, brunette, and they're walking into the Haunted House.
"Well we won't be seeing much of Kai." I mutter to Rohan as we all walk into the house. Kai starts walking ahead and beside the two girls.
"Nah, he'll probably not even show up to the walk." Rohan says as he grabs my hand just as we pass the entrance checkpoint.
Since the house is barn style, and huge by the way, it has stales you'd put horses in and when we pass some people dressed up as characters pop out. Some like a girl dressed as the Nun, someone as Chucky, one as Anabelle, one as a man with nails on his face.
And these aren't amateur costumes, no they look exactly like real deals. And when each of them jump out I'd jump back into Rohan, though I didn't scream. The amusement on his face makes me want to punch him.
But what pops up next makes up for that. We pass another one of those horse pens and out pops out is a man or woman dressed exactly like Penny-wise the clown. I don't jump but Rohan jumps back like a kangaroo.
He scowls back at the clown as we continue, "So my big man is scared of clowns?" I ask, squeezing his hand.
He turns his scowl down to me. "Shut up." But he squeezes my hand back and pulls me closer.
The haunted house continues with screams and laughter and characters popping out. 20 minutes pass by the time were out of there and walking into the Spook Walk.
The walk is like a walking haunted house, except it's a haunted walk through the forest. I don't even think were half way through and I've screamed about, 15 times.
It's more creepy when your walking through the forest, not knowing when the next time someone's going to pop out. Because sometimes it could be one tree and then nothing for the next few tree's on after one tree, another pops out at the next. If that makes sense?
In front of us are Mick and Fiona, that's the girl he brought, and Wyatt and Liam. Kai is somewhere way up front or gone. Chase is on my right while Rohan on my left. The rest of the group is behind us.
The rest of the walk is the same, it was most funny when I'd distanced myself to the point where when another clown popped out Rohan jumped back into Chase and grabbed his hand.
I could not stop laughing when they both noticed and jumped apart. Rohan desperately looking for me and when he found me laughing at him he scowled.
"Should I be jealous that you just held Chases hand?" I ask him with a raised brow, "Do you guys have some bromance going on?" I point between them.

He doesn't speak back but doesn't re-grab my hand in a tight squeeze. About 30 minutes later were walking out of the walk and not only is Rohan scowling at me but so is Chase.
"Oh c'mon, why the grouchy faces?" I ask all innocently as we walk over to the cars.
"That was not funny, Kitty Kat." Chase grumbles. I raise my brows at the new add on to my nick name.
"It kinda was." I shrug, fighting another laugh. It was especially funny because when it happened Chase was talking to a girl who made a weird face and walked away when it happened. If I were to guess, I'd say I ruined his chance to get laid.
"Time to go to the bar!" Reid and Mick shout in union.
Rohan looks over to me, "Do you have a fake ID?" He asks as we get back into the truck.
I nod but then pause, "Wait if you don't have your wallet, what about your fake ID?"
He grins, "Well we all keep extras of each others fake ID's in our wallets so both Reid, Kai and Chase have a copy of my fake ID in their wallet, same as me."
As if to emphasize that Chase opens his wallet and pulls out a butt load of fake ID's and shows me. Like Rohan said Chase has a copy of Rohan's ID, Kai's ID and Reid's ID.
"That's kind of smart." I say handing Rohan's ID to him and the rest back to Chase. I look over to Liam, "What bar are we going to?"
"It's the most popular bar in Boston, well one of them. Mack' Bar. It has a lot of hockey paraphernalia." He says as we pull out of the parking lot.
This time the boys all argue on what to play, all the way to the bar. And let me tell you, the bar is packed. Not to the point where we can't move, but to the point where most tables are full and the bar in full.
"Are you drinking?" Rohan whispers in my ear.
I look at the bar then to Rohan and bite my lip, "Mhm, I'll just make sure it's a pre-closed drink." He nods as we all walk over to a booth. Before I can even sit down, Rohan pulls me onto his lap.
I gasp, "What are you doing?" I ask trying to get off. When did my breath get so...breathy? Maybe because I could feel him growing hard.
"There won't be enough seats for everyone." He says into my ear just as a waiter comes over to our table. He was right because there is just enough seats for everyone since I'm siting on Rohan.
She has to shout for us to hear her, "What can I get you all?"
Most of the guys ask for beers, though Reid asks for vodka shots with Mick. I order a closed vodka soda, and I make sure to emphasize on the closed part.
Just as the the waiter leave Maria━girl Mick brought━gets my attention, "So when did this happen?" She points between us. She's across from us beside Mick.
"Recently?" I say as a question because I have no clue who she is or why she's asking me. I shake my head, "I'm sorry do you like go to our school or something?"
She smiles but shakes her head, "No. I went to school with Mick and Reid here in Boston. We all went to the prep school, I still do but I'm a senior." She points at Reid, "His sister still goes there, were in the same grade, she's how I know Mick and Reid."
She turns her attention to Reid, "You know Celena is thinking about going to Delcour U, along with Bailey." She waggles her brows and Reid groans.
I look back to Reid, "Bailey? Who's Bailey and Celena?" I ask suddenly interested and shift to get comfortable but then I remember I'm sitting on Rohan when he groans and his hands on my waist tightens.
"Your killing me here, Fly." He whispers into my ear.
I smile at the nickname but then grin, "Your the one who pulled me onto your lap and you have to deal with the consequences." I shrug and turn my attention back to Reid.
"Celena is one of my sisters, 2 years younger and Bailey is her bestfriend, whom I hate by the way. She was always around and has an attitude." He roles his eyes.
Maria laughs, "Only towards you. She's sweet to everyone else. Your just an asshole to her. You know, you haven't seen her in 2 years and you still talk shit about her, and she's forgotten all about you." She gives him a scowl and somehow I think she's lying.
"Like I care." He says before our waiter comes back with our drinks and thank god he didn't mess up my order.
After that conversation we stray to different topics until I have to go to the bathroom, Maria ends up going with me. But she just stands at the mirror and fixes her makeup.
When I walk back out of the stall to wash my hands the question I've been wondering comes back. "Hey Maria, I know it's non of my business but what's going on between Reid and Bailey?"
Her hand freezes with the lipstick from her mouth. "Bailey Quinn? She's been Celena's bestfriend for a while. I don't know why exactly but Reid bullied and made fun of her for a long time, though I think what annoys him was that Bailey always talked back, or had a witty remark," She shrugs.
"I never knew Reid to be mean?"
She chuckles, "To anyone else, he's not, but something about Bailey ticks him off. And Bailey is the sweetest girl I know, until you put her in front of Reid, something about him ticks her off." She closes her lipstick. "Let's go dance."
And then she grabs my hand and leads me out to the dance floor, not even going to the table. I'm nowhere near dressed for a bar, I'm still wearing the clothes I wore to my parents which are black skinny jeans and a deep red ribbed long sleeve with a quarter zip.
Yeah, no where near club attire but that don't stop me from dancing. Me and Maria dance, swaying our hip to the music, even laughing. Dancing with Maria reminds me of Lexi and how much I miss her.
But then I feel hand at my hips, familiar hands so I lean into Rohan. "How'd you know it's me? What if I were a different guy?"
I bite my lip, "Then I'd be in trouble." I say tilting my head so I can see his face. I furrow my brows when I see the same face he wears when he's jealous, "What's wrong?" I turn.
He looks over my head and when I turn I see a table full of guys that look a couple years older with their eyes trained on me and Maria, with heated and interested glances.
I look back at Rohan, "Is that why you came over here?" I ask amused, "To show them I have a big, jealous boyfriend?" I tease.
He narrows his eyes but I can see his smile, which is confirmed when he smiles and my heart skips a beat. It's always done that, from the beginning. Something I've noticed about him is his actions speak louder than words.
Then I start dancing against him but what he says next has me freezing.
"Don't think I've forgotten about your remark about my dick earlier." He whispers down to me and my eyes widen.
