What a Difference a Summer Makes- Part 4C

I urge you to please read previous installments to get a full understanding of this chapter. The end of the night is finally here! I hope you guys have enjoyed reading as much as I have loved writing these latest chapters. I’m so grateful to you readers who have inspired me to continue to sit down and write. Like I’ve said previously, this is not the end. I have plenty of ideas on how I want to continue this tale and will do it in a timely matter. It will not take a year between installments again.

Sorry to repeat this but here goes: I use italics in my stories as the inner thoughts of the main character and since musicals are my favorite movie genre, they are used for musical breaks as well. You will find in my writing I try to be as illustrative as possible so you, the reader, will have a clear visual of the characters and the environment they are in.

Please feel free to leave comments either good or bad. I do read them and will respond quickly. I want to improve as a writer and any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always welcomed.

Without further ado I present:

What a Difference a Summer Makes- Part 4C

Chapter 15

Danni Perkins may have a future as a party planner because her parties are, in a word, legendary. Ever since freshman year at her fifteenth birthday party it’s been the highlight of every school term. Back then, even upper classmen attended. Her house, a compound really, holds three epic parties each year; Back-to-school, Christmas, and her birthday which is in March. I’ve attended all her parties and I would bet money they can rival any Hollywood A-List party you can think of.

It also doesn’t hurt that her parents are filthy rich who dotes on their daughter, treating her like a princess. You would think with all the money they have the Perkins family would be your cliché stuck-up, rude, holier than thou type, but that’s not the case. All in all, they’re a nice and down-to-earth family. Danni can be a bit bitchy at times, especially with always treating me like some weirdo creep, but for the most part she treats people with respect.

I didn’t want to have anything to do with her after that summer night. Loser? Joe and Kimmie have outgrown me? Who does she think she is? Fuck her!

The music could be heard a few blocks down the street as we were entering her neighborhood, Bay Colony.

I know, I know, but I can’t help myself. LOL. We’re entering the Million Dollar Listing portion of the programming. Bay Colony is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in all of Fort Lauderdale and is the only gated single-family community in the area with 24-hour security. The waterways are deep and wide providing a desirable and secure location for boaters with larger yachts.

We somehow found parking somewhere down her block and walked to her home. This was Tanya’s first time experiencing a Danni Perkins’ party, so she was overwhelmingly impressed as we approached her house.

“Damn! Is this how you guys do it in Fort Lauderdale?” marveled Tanya.

“Mhmmm,” Lisa answered with a huge smile, “Danni knows how to have a good time.”

“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” Nate added then gave her a quick kiss on her hand.

I, of course, kept my feelings to myself because no one needed to know I really didn’t want to be there. Lisa gave Tanya a quick rundown about how she and Danni have been best friends since the fifth grade, about the parties, and the theatre club they were a part of at school. Tanya was especially interested in the theatre club as she told us her dream was to perform on Broadway someday.

It seemed that we were some of the last people to arrive at the party as we didn’t see anyone else outside. Nate knocks on the door and in typical Danni Perkins style a half-dressed security guard, eye candy for the ladies, opens the door to check us in.

“Hi,” Lisa gleefully says. “Lisa Montero and Nate Buchner with their plus ones.”

While the security is looking over the list, I couldn’t resist scanning Lisa’s body. Damn, she is looking fine.

I must have been more obvious than I realized because just as I turn Nate and Tanya both look me dead square in the eye.

I was caught.

“You found what you were looking for Chad?” Tanya teased with a big grin.

Nate followed with a big chuckle, “Oh – he found what he was looking for!”

It felt like my cheeks were on fire. I attempted to cover them with my fingers to no avail as they both began to laugh.

Lisa turned around to see what all the commotion was about. “What’s up guys?”

“Nothing much Lisa. You ready to go inside?” I quickly answered trying to change the subject feeling a bit embarrassed.

Nate took a quick drag from his vape and embarrassed me even further in pure Nate fashion, “Yeah, it’s nothing. Chad is just here staring you up and down trying to figure out what the square root of sixty-nine is.”

Oh my God I could kill him!

Lisa sensing my embarrassment, gave me a quick kiss on the lips then whispered, “It’s ok baby. I got you.”

Her voice was so warm and calming I couldn’t help but feel at ease. She then turned her attention to Nate.

“If you must know Nathaniel, we figured that out a couple nights ago,” she smirked with just a small pouting of the lips, a narrowing of the eyes and a tilting of her head. “Didn’t we figure that one out, Chad?”

She was playing along with Nate.

I was taken aback by Lisa’s charm and wit. Giving a slight curve at the corner of my mouth, I knew exactly what I needed to say and in my best Drake impersonation, “It’s eight something, right? ‘Cause I’ve been tryna work it out, ow.”

If only I had a camera. I would’ve taken a picture of Nate’s face as he stood there in disbelief staring at Lisa and myself.

“No, you guys didn’t,” Nate doubted as he took another drag from his vape.

Lisa’s big smile and my eyebrow raise revealed all he needed to know. Tanya gave Lisa and I a resounding high five with a big hug.

“So, why were you so nervous back at her house?” Tanya asked with a grin.

That was a valid question.

Both girls looked at me waiting for an answer and all I could come up with was, “It’s Lisa Montero. She always makes me nervous.”

They loved that answer with Lisa giving me a big hug then kiss on the lips while Tanya told me that was one of the sweetest things, she has ever heard. We all look over at Nate who was still in shock finding out Lisa and I had sex.

I walked over to him, put my arm around his shoulders and joke, “I know bro. It’s a lot to take in all at once, but let’s go party.”

——-

The music was as loud as thunder making my skin tingle. Our school colors of red and gold were the neon lights flashing everywhere. Over the infectious roar of the music you could hear laughter and just kids just having a grand old time. We could barely hear Tanya when she shouted, “This is wild!”

Lisa didn’t waste any time and dragged all of us out onto the dance floor just as the DJ started to play Future’s Mask Off. You’ve never heard anything so mind-blowing until you’ve heard a bunch of high, alcohol charged teenagers singing and dancing their ass off to a Future song:

Percocets

Molly, Percocets

Percocets

Molly, Percocets

Rep the set

Gotta rep the set

Chase a check

Never chase a bitch

Mask on

Fuck it, mask off

Mask on

Fuck it, mask off

It was a wall to wall gathering of, what appeared like, almost every student from school on the dance floor in one brilliant feeling of togetherness suspended in time. Even with that, all I could focus on was Lisa. She moved like water, flowing effortlessly as if it was the only way her body knew how to talk. As she leaned back, she pressed her luscious ass against me, gyrating to the beat of the song, my cock began to stir.

Lisa smiled, knowing full well she had me at attention. She tilted her head back to me and I was lost in the moment. It was a primal desire; the next thing I knew I pulled her firmly against my crotch and pressed my lips against hers. I wish I could say it was a lovely or pristine kind of kiss like the ones you may see in the movies. But it wasn’t like that in the slightest. It was wet, sloppy, hot, fierce, and demanding. I lost myself in a way I never had before. I wanted her right, then, and there.

When we finally broke the kiss, our eyes locked onto one another. Nothing had to be said. We both knew what we wanted.

“Holy shit!” Tanya yelled at us over the music. “That was so hot!” Nate just grinned in our direction and gave a playful salute.

The DJ got on the mic and thanked everyone for coming out to the Back to School Bash which got a roaring cheer from the crowd. She started to scratch a couple Spanish records together that got the teenage party goers going crazy. Lisa continued to stare at me, grabbed my hand and started to lead me off the dance floor.

“Hey,” I said pulling for her to stop. “Where are we going?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Chad. I assumed you didn’t like…”

She didn’t think I was into dancing Spanish music. Little did she know that’s all my mother was into. She made it a point for me and my dad to dance with her every Sunday morning while we all cleaned the house.

“You think you have me figured out?” I teased. “Plus, you know what they say about assuming, right?”

Along with a playful eye roll, she stuck out her tongue and smiled that welcoming smile of hers.

She lit up in astonishment when I gave her a quick twirl just as the instrumental of Don Omar’s- Perdido En Tus Ojos began to play. It was the happy confusion on her face that I found so delicious. Her eyes lit up and stared at me in awe as I began to mouth the words:

Todo comenzó cuando nos miramos

Con una química especial

Nos tomamos de la mano

Dialogamos y desde ese momento

“What?!” marveled Lisa. “Why Chad Lincoln, you’re full of surprises!”

She kissed me and we kept on dancing with her started to sing the lyrics back to me:

Lo entrego todo por ti

Todito todo por ti

Y pongo a Dios como testigo de este amor

Hoy te entrego mi corazón

Lo entrego todo por ti

Todito todo por ti

Y pongo a Dios como testigo de este amor

Hoy te entrego mi corazón

This was much more than a party. It was a celebration. Not just for the upcoming school year, but for me it was a celebration of new beginnings. I soaked it in hearing all the voices sing and laugh with joy as we danced the night away. Even Nate who, at past parties, usually just chills on the side with his boys smoking a joint is now having a great time dancing.

What a difference a Tanya makes. LOL

The DJ was in a nice groove as she played a few more Latin hits that had the crowd jumping from Pitbull to Nicky Jam. All four us were having such a fun time as we switched partners with me dancing with Tanya and Lisa dancing with Nate. During one of the songs Bailando by Enrique Iglesias the girls began to dance together.

Nate and I stood there spellbound. Our eyes were a direct window into our thoughts as we watched them dance and spin with one another. They were the ice cream sundaes topped with fudge and we were fat kids ready to eat. The girls continued dancing, their movement were both sensuous and purposeful. They both glanced over at us and it became painfully obvious, at least to my cock in my jeans, they knew the reaction they were garnering.

I was about to say something until I heard a voice call out to Lisa over the crowd which instantly evaporated the joy from my eyes. I knew it was bound to happen, but I still wasn’t looking forward to it.

——-

The way Lisa and Danni interacted with one another, the giggles, the laughter, the smiles; you could tell they’ve been best friends for a long time. It reminded me of all the times Kimmie, Joe and I were together.

Ughhh… I really didn’t want to think about them right now.

They chattered away like best friends often do then Lisa excitedly introduced Danni to Tanya. What I noticed immediately was how Danni’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Tanya, as if she were in the presence of someone, she had a crush on.

This did not go unnoticed by Nate when he nudged my shoulder and joked, “Don’t like my women single, I like my chicks in twos.”

Nate really needs therapy.

There were no words for that comment, so I just gave him a smirk and shook my head.

“What?” he asked with a shrug. “You haven’t thought about…”

“Thought about what?” I replied with a sense of confusion.

“Chad, c’mon, we’ve been friends for a while now,” Nate went on, “And I know how long you’ve been crushing on Danni Perkins. You’re now with her best friend and it never once crossed your mind to be with the both of them?”

The way he said it made me think I would have to be a complete moron for it to not even cross my mind once.

If only Nate knew the entire story, he would know exactly why I wanted nothing to do with Danni Perkins.

“Nah man,” I responded. “Never once crossed my mind.”

To describe Nate’s facial expression would be like the look kindergarteners would give describing advanced calculus to them – WTF.

I decided I had enough of watching this reunion and asked Nate if he wanted to go with me to get some drinks for us and the girls.

A gentle hand reached for my shoulder as we started towards the bar.

“Hey handsome, where you off to?”

Damn it, Chad! Why couldn’t you move faster!

With reluctance, I slowly turn to see Lisa so happy, it was beaming from her eyes. My intent was to be strong and nonchalant toward Danni. I meant nothing to her so she would mean nothing to me. But she still looked so good. Thick and luscious in all the right places with her skintight light blue jeans with a semi shear black top showing off part of her abdomen and enough boob to make a person’s mouth water.

Stop thinking with your dick, Chad Lincoln. She’s the enemy so treat her that way! Even though you would love nothing more than to bend her over and fuck the shit out of her. Damn you, Nate!

I let Lisa know I was about to go over to the bar to get some drinks with Nate and if she or Tanya wanted anything. She called over to Tanya and Danni.

So not what I wanted.

They both came over giggling about something and Lisa asked them what they wanted from the bar. Tanya was first and asked what kind of drinks were being served. Danni gave her a wry smile and replied whatever her heart desired.
