"Come on Hunter! Emilia will be just fine curled up in bed with a book." Tyler whined.

I scoffed, "Excuse me but you haven't even asked me if I wanted join."

"Come on, Em, you barely ever go out." Skylar sided with her boyfriend and I was offended.

"Fuck you guys." I spat.

"That's Hunter's job. But if he's not keeping you satisfied..." Tyler winked at me.

Skylar elbowed him as I picked up my dictionary and threw it at him. It hit him square in the chest and he stumbled a few steps back.

"Why the fu - " Tyler screamed but Hunter slapped him before he could finish his sentence.

"No one speaks to my girl like that." Hunter scowled and turned to wink at me. I smirked at Tyler.

Tyler coughed out a "whipped" and Hunter and I both rolled out eyes.

Skylar huffed clearly annoyed by the time being wasted arguing instead of out clubbing, "Do you want to join?"

"You don't have to, sweetheart. I'll even stay in with you." Hunter sat on my bed next to me.

My argument wasn't helping since I was sitting in my bed with my pajamas on, but that doesn't mean I couldn't change.

"You're not sitting at home on a Friday night!" Tyler argued.

"I'll do whatever the fuck I want." Hunter growled.

Hunter glared at Tyler who was challenging me.

"I'm coming." I lifted my chin in the air.

Skylar groaned, "Come on! You'll take forever to get ready." Tyler nodded in agreement

"We'll meet you there." Hunter backed me up.

I lifted an eyebrow at Skylar and she stomped her foot, storming out the door and Tyler followed.

"Isn't she a little ray of sunshine." I turned back to Hunter.

He laughed and then looked at me softly, "You don't have to come. I know you love staying in and reading."

"That is true but we should go out sometimes. I mean it is college, I'm supposed to be living a little." I hopped out of the bed, "And thanks for backing me up Hunt."

"Only for my sweetheart," he planted a soft kiss on my lips, "Now go get ready. And make it fast." He said as he slapped my ass as I got off the bed.

I turn and winked suggestively at him before sauntering away, "Pick an outfit for me would you?"

"Mmm... This is gonna be good." Hunter rubbed his hands together.

-

Hunter took a deep breath in and released a low whistle as I walked out of my room.

"No. Way." I looked at Hunter and then back down at my outfit. "This is like the sluttiest thing I own."

The dress was a deep red, open at the back so that it reach the small of my back. The halter neck also prevented me from wearing a bra and the length was too short. It stopped right below my ass and I stared at Hunter in disbelief for choosing such an outfit.

"You look..." Hunter was wide eyed and opened mouthed.

"Like a prostitute." I finished his sentence for him and he laughed.

"I'd pay for you." He smirked at me.

"Hunter!" I slapped his arm.

"Damn, I could probably even take you right here and now."

"Hunter!" I scowled again and my blush deepened.

"It's not my fault you look like that." He flailed his arms pointing at me.

"Okay, I'm just going to put on something a little bit more... Modest."

"As much as I love this outfit I think that's a good idea." He bit his lip as if he was restraining himself.

I settled on a black dress that stopped slightly higher than in the middle of my thigh. It revealed a bit more cleavage than the red dress, surprisingly, but at least I could wear a bra so that my boobs didn't hit me in the face when I danced. I did light make up with a slighter darker pink lipstick.

"Even better." Hunter kissed my cheek as I walked out.

"You didn't like the sex appeal of the other?" I laughed.

"Oh I loved it alright, just not what it did to me." I blushed and he grabbed my hand, "Come on, sweetheart, let's go make the others jealous."

-

"Finally!" Sky called when she saw us make our way through the crowd. She tried to give me a hug but I pushed her back and she looked sad.

"What was that for?" She screamed over the thumping music that vibrated through my chest.

"Firstly, I can already smell the alcohol and your breath and secondly, you were a bitch to me back at the apartment." I crossed my arms and Tyler looked down to my chest. This was his typical drunk behavior so I knew it would happen, but it still made me uncomfortable.

Hunter slapped him across the head, "Eyes up. You've got your own girlfriend."

Tyler rubbed his head where Hunter hit him and looked apologetically at Skylar. She just brushed it off.

"Oh come on Em, I love dancing with you! So can you please forgive me now so we can dance?"

I laughed at her puppy dog eyes and pouted lips and let out an deep sigh, "Fine."

She squealed and dragged me to the dance floor.

"Hunter! Get me a drink. And make it strong!" I called back as I was sucked into the crowd. I could even hear his deep laughter over the music.

-

After what felt like hours of dancing with Skylar, I made my way to Hunter at the bar. He had a shot in front of him and I grabbed it and downed it before he understood what was happening.

"Hey! That was mine!"

"What? You want it back?" I teased opening my mouth.

"I haven't had a drink yet." Hunter sighed.

"Well good, you might just need to be the designated driver after how strong that tasted." I laughed and I could feel the alcohol still burning my throat.

Hunter ran a hand through his hair, "Well if that's the case you better show me some good moves on the dance floor."

"Well what are you waiting for?" I smirked and grabbed Hunter's hand. His eyes lit up and he followed me eagerly.

There was barely any space on the dance floor for the both of us so we had to press our bodies together so that there wasn't a single sliver of space between us. My back was pressed against Hunter's chest and I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. Our bodies moved in sync with one another and the music. Hunter turned me around so that I was facing him and his eyes searched my face before landing on my lips. He licked his lips in response before kissing me and I pulled him closer even though there was no way we could be. Goose bumps ran along my arms as Hunter ran his hands softly down my arms before finally wrapping them around my waist.

"Stop sucking each other's faces off!" Skylar shuffled up to me. "What another drink?"

I nodded in response.

"Meet me at the bar in a few minutes, I just wanna go to the bathroom quickly."

I nodded again and Hunter leaned down into me to whisper in my ear, "Another drink, sweetheart?"

"Relax. My tolerance is more than just two drinks. I'll be back soon."

I met Skylar at the bar and saw the Cosmopolitan she had ordered for me.

"Maybe you should buy Hunter a 'Sex On The Beach' so that he gets the hint." Skylar teased me.

"Unlike you and Tyler we aren't in any rush." I teased back.

"Does Hunter know that?" She laughed to herself. I didn't have a smart add response so I stared blankly at her.

"This tastes strange." I said after taking a slow sip.

"Probably cause you haven't had one in forever."

"True." I shrugged as I took another sip.

Sky finished her drink almost immediately and offered to buy me another one, but I declined. She knew I wasn't that much of a drinker anyway and I'd already had two which honestly, is more than I'd usually have. Since I'm almost always the designated driver, I don't have a single sip of alcohol and if I'm not, I have one beer. That's it. So when my head was thumping louder than the music, I knew something was wrong but in that moment it felt good. I was less uptight and more care free. When Hunter came to look for me he was shocked.

"Woah, sweetheart, you don't drink enough to get drunk. What happened?" He sounded genuinely concerned.

"I had a drink." I hiccuped.

"No shit Sherlock." He rolled his eyes at me.

"No fuck Watson." That made Hunter laugh.

"What did you drink?"

I laughed at Hunter for being so silly, "The shot that I stole from you and..." I dragged the word thinking of the last drink, "a cosmopolitan."

"That's not even enough to get a lightweight like you this drunk," he mumbled before speaking clearly to me, "And who bought you the Cosmo?"

"Skylar." I laughed again for no apparent reason.

"That's me!" Skylar was back from dancing with Ty.

"Do you ever leave your drinks unattended?" Hunter asked sharply.

"No, Hunter," she rolled her eyes at him like it was obvious, "I just ordered our drinks and left them here while I went to the bathroom." She answered lightly.

"Shit, Sky. Why would you do that?"

"Your boyfriend's mean." Skylar sulked when she sat next to me.

"And yours is a perv." Hunter retorted and Skylar was taken aback.

"Come on babe, relax. I'm fine." I tried kissing Hunter but he pulled his head back.

"You're not fine. Someone laced your drink with something to make it stronger."

I laughed at Hunter's silly humor before I saw he wasn't laughing, "Why aren't you laughing?"

"Because I'm gonna beat the shit out of whoever did this." He stormed up to the bartender catching his attention, "Who paid you to lace her drink?" He nodded his head in my direction.

"No one, bro."

Hunter handed him a lot of notes and the bartender directed him to a man sitting at the end of the bar. He was smaller than Hunter but only slightly, he sat surrounded by his friends and didn't mind when Hunter spoke to him. In fact, it actually looked like they knew each other.

"I heard you laced that chick's drink." Hunter laughed and clapped the man on his back.

"Yeah dude, she's hot! I wanted to see if I could get her too come to my room with me; if you know what I mean." He smiled at Hunter. "But apparently she has some boyfriend that's a real prick."

"Yeah you asshole, I'm that prick." And Hunter hit him square in the jaw, so hard that he fell off his stool unconscious.

I gasped and ran over to Hunter who was being escorted by two much bigger men in black.

"Hey! Leave my boyfriend alone!" I hit the one closest to me with my fist on his back but he didn't flinch.

Instead he turned to me and then back to Hunter, "She's with you?"

Hunter shook his head and the men stopped walking.

"Hunter! Don't lie! I'm his girlfriend." I giggled and looked over at the bouncers.

With that, one of them grabbed me and started pulling me outside as well.

"Hey! Let go of me! You're hurting my arm!" I tried hitting the burly man.

When Hunter heard me, he tried punching the man that was holding him. The man was distracted and let go of Hunter.

"Let her go man, we'll walk our selves out." Hunter scoffed at the man holding me.

He threw my arm violently towards Hunter and I lost my footing in the cobblestone floor. Wearing heels didn't help and I yelped when I felt my weight buckled but strong arms caught me. I looked up to see Hunter looking down at me and I grinned.

"Come on, sweetheart, up you get." He tugged my arms up gently but I slipped again when I couldn't stand on my foot because my ankle was throbbing.

"I can't stand." I whimpered looking at Hunter through my eyelashes.

He sighed heavily and threw one arm behind my ankles and the other supported my back. The fast move gave me a fright and I instantly wrapped my arms around Hunter's neck.

He walked us out of the club and into the cold night air. I was studying Hunter's face as he walked. He had a strong jawline and cheekbones. His dark hair was held firmly in place even after all the dancing and his blue eyes were bright in the dark. He was looking into the distance, clearly annoyed which just made him look hotter.

"You're sexy when you're angry." I mumbled.

Hunter looked down at me surprisingly and laughed, "You think I'm sexy?"

"Sexily hot." I grinned.

"Ahh, you're one of those overly nice drunks. Strange considering you're a supposed 'bad girl'."

"I'm not a bad girl, I'm actually quite good. I just pretend to be bad because everyone likes tough girls." I swung my legs and tightened my arms around Hunter.

He laughed at me again, "Is that so?"

"Mhmm..." I nodded and moved my face closer to his, "Now can you please kiss me, the sexual tension is killing me."

This made Hunter laugh so much that he almost dropped me.

"It's not funny." I frowned at him.

"You're too precious." He gave me a small peck on the lips before walking determinedly down the sidewalk.

"That was lame." I threw my head back.

"I'll have you know that I've never given a bad kiss in my entire life."

"Well you just did." I giggled.

"How about a bet? I'll kiss you and if it's not breathtaking you have to do whatever I say."

"Well you can't just make me do anything. I'm not sleeping with you on the field."

"Damn!" Hunter laughed, "It's nothing sexual sweetheart."

"Damn!" I teased him.

"We could make it like that if you want." He bent his head to whisper in my ear and my cheeks reddened. "So we got a deal?"

I nodded.

"Great! But I'm gonna need you to stand."

"But I can't." I whined.

"Of course you can. I'll lean you against the wall and you can stand on the leg that's not hurt."

"Fine." I huffed. "This better be good."

I stood gingerly, testing how much weight I could put on my injured ankle.

"You ready?" Hunter asked as he leaned me against the wall.

I rolled my eyes, "Let's see what you got."

I closed my eyes and he leaned in closer to me. His kiss was soft and gentle and I was surprised at how much he could convey so calmly. Soon enough his kisses were filled with desire and passion, his lips moving faster and then he pulled back. I moved my head forward thinking he was still there and when I was kissed by the cold breeze instead, my eyes snapped open to see Hunter staring at me smugly.

"Wow." I breathed slowly. That was..."

"Breathtaking?" Hunter offered and I nodded slowly.

"I'm glad sweetheart, but now you have your end of the bargain to fill." He lifted me to carry me to his car which was parked around the corner.

"And what would that be Mr Maddox."

"Patience Miss Anderson." He said as he helped me into the passenger side of his car.
