Chapter 135: Surprise


    As Lucas drank his whisky Jen obediently sat and waited for him to finish even though she was looking at the people in the pool longingly.


    "Let''s go" Lucas said as he couldn''t stand her pouting anymore.


    Jen immediately hopped off the bar stool and ran to the pool and Lucas followed behind her while shaking his head.


    Soon enough Lucas found himself gettingpetitive with all the people in the pool and fortunately he was in the same team as Jen. They yed around for about thirty minutes before the hired DJ arrived at the house.


    When the music was getting good most of the people had gotten out of the pool and were crowded around the bar. Before they all got too drunk the DJ yed a birthday song and a huge cake was brought out for Lucas.


    Everyone surrounded the cake and drunkenly sang him the birthday song before he blew out the candles with a red face. What followed was chaos as everyonepletely wrecked the cake. Jen found herself covered in cake as everyone seemed to target her.


    "You should eat your cake!" Jason shouted loudly at a slightly drunk Lucas.


    "Eat your cake!" Laura chimed in as she pushed Jen towards Lucas who was oblivious until he saw Jen covered in cake.


    He licked the icing on her cheek and encouraging shouts were heard from everyone at the party. He turned to her other cheek and licked off the icing that covered that cheek before he was soon licking it off her neck. Jen was thoroughly embarrassed and everyone encouraging shouts were not helping at all.


    "L-Lucas, don''t you think that this is a bit too much?" Jen asked cautiously. Unfortunately, Lucas really did not care, besides, it''s not like he was doing it infront of his parents or anything.


    "Lu-" Jen started but didn''t finish as she felt his tongue lick the corner of her mouth before boldly kissing her and everyone got louder as a result. Jen could even hear Rachel''s voice among the cheering.


    Jen did not have any fabric to cling on to and all she could do was wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back. She was excited and embarrassed at the same time. When he finally released her, she smiled at him still looking intoxicated not knowing whether it was his overbearing kiss or if it was the alcohol she had drank earlier.


    "Happy Birthday Lucas" Jen said, her smile still hanging off her lips.


    "Thank you" Lucas replied and kissed her forehead before hesitantly releasing her.


    In her excitement Laura went back to the bar and ordered a few shots of tequ. No one noticed what she was doing otherwise they would have stopped her earlier, especially if Jen or Rachel had seen her since they knew how brazen she became when she was drunk. The bartender lined up six shots for her and she downed them without hesitation.


    When she ordered more, the bartender refused to serve her. He knew she had drank earlier so he was not willing to take part in whatever it was she was trying to aplish. As she stood at the bar frowning at the bartender James had already spotted her.


    He had drank with her earlier so he had an idea of how she was when she was drunk and when he saw the tortured bartender he felt slightly sorry so he went over to try to pull her away from the bar.


    "James~" Laura called out in whiny voice making James clear his throat in embarrassment.


    "Let''s go Laura" James said as he looked at the shot sses in front of her.


    "I want to drink more but he won''t let me" Laurained as she red at the bartender who decided topletely ignore her.


    "Let''se a bitter" James reassured as he pulled her away from the bar. Laura obediently followed him as they walked to the loungers. James settled her on one of the loungers before he asked one of the waiters to bring them a bottle of water.


    Normally he wouldn''t care much about other guests in these events, especially the women since they either came with their boyfriends or they were star chasers. He did not know what was so different about Laura that made him stick around her.


    As he stood up to walk away, Laura pulled him back and forced him to sit next to her. James helplessly sat down and watched her chatter away without responding much. However, she had sessfully managed to amuse him up to the point the DJ yed one of Jason''s old songs making Laura jump off the lounger and run towards her friends.


    James only looked at her retreating back as she ran towards her friends before they all started excitedly dancing. James sighed once more for the nth time as he watched them get excited about the song. He wondered whether they should stop serving alcohol at these parties since it seemed people''s IQ''s just crashed once they drank.


    He noticed that the girls copied the choreography that the guys had danced when they had made aeback with that song. What was even more amusing was the fact that Jason, Liam and Levi had joined the girls in dancing the choreography and everyone had just gone crazy. The whole situation could be described as a huge mess.


    After the song ended, the girls did not stop dancing as expected but they continued jumping around recklessly as they sang along to the familiar songs. They were thoroughly having fun with the reinforcement of the alcohol in their system.


    As James sat at the lounger watching them in amusement, he noticed that Laura broke off the group of girls and was walking towards his direction.


    He was drinking wine as he watched her walk towards him, not really expecting much. However, what she did next had surprised him as much as it had surprised him the first time she did what she did.
