Allison wasn’t the least surprised when she saw Kace at the cafeteria. He’d beening to the university so frequently one would think he was a student.


    Grabbing her bag, Allison excused herself to leave the cafeteria, and Kace immediately followed behind her.


    "What’s up? Why do you look like you just got into a fight with your boyfriend?" Kace teased, as he followed behind her.


    "Today is Derek’s birthday, and he’s celebrating it at his house," she responded.


    Kace stopped a few steps from behind her. When Allison noticed she wasn’t hearing his footsteps anymore, she turned to look at him.


    "Let me guess, you are going to that birthday party," He stated.


    "I have to."


    Kacebed his locks with his fingers as stared at the blue sky.


    "In that case, I’ming too," he said.


    Allison frowned, "That would only bring trouble. You don’t have toe. I can take care of myself."


    Kace cocked his eyebrows at her, and she tore her gaze from him as it was suddenly impossible to hold it.


    "We will see about that."


    Allison frowned in confusion, but didn’t bother to ask him what he meant. It was obvious, he wasing and there was nothing she could do about it.

    Allison arrived at Derek’s house, loud music was booming around the area. Luckily for the invitees, the house was a few distance away from the rest of the houses on the block, so the neighbors weren’t greatly disturbed by the noise they caused.


    Derek ced his arms around Allison’s shoulder, making thetter jolt as he offered her a drink, but she objected.


    "Come on, aren’t you going to drink even on your boyfriend’s birthday?" Kyle, one of Derek’s friends asked, before he sipped from his drink.


    "I don’t drink. Derek knows that already," she responded.


    "That’s prettyme in my opinion," Max, another one of Derek’s friends added.


    "Well, I never asked for your opinion so you can keep it up yourself." Her sharp retort had them still for a second, trying to digest what she said.


    Irritated, Max mmed his cup on the counter of the kitchen, ring at Allison.


    "Seriously man, why did you pick this girl as your girlfriend? Look at this many hot bitches out here you can pick from."


    "Now you two had better watch it. That’s no way you should talk to my girlfriend," Derek warned with a smile on his face, which had the two friends cackling like hyenas because they were aware he wasn’t serious with the ownership he ced on Allison


    Allison was also aware of it, but it didn’t hurt her at all. She never loved Derek to begin with, so he could use her to make jokes as much as he wanted. As long as he didn’t go too far with it.


    Olivia arrived in the kitchen and shared a look with Derek which Allison noticed. Now she was curious to know what they must be nning.


    "Happy birthday Derek!!" She wished, moving Allison out of the way and hugging Derek—nting her full chest on his as she wiggled a while.


    Allison noticed all her movements, but she stared at them like crazy people who were making a fool out of themselves.


    Allison went to a corner to watch them. She could have invited Natalie, but then thetter could have torn every strand of hair Olivia had, which would have caused amotion. However, deep inside, that was what Allison wanted Natalie to do.


    Sighing, Allison sipped her apple juice. She took it from the same container the others took from, in case Derek wanted to spike her drink.


    "Allison, I want to show you something upstairs," Derek said, grinning at her which creeped her out so much.


    Biting her lips, she followed behind him as she followed him upstairs.


    ’Try nonsense today and I will give you a kick between your legs,’ she thought to herself, following his every move.


    Reaching Derek’s room, he opened it wide for her to enter.


    Allison entered the dark room, her hands clutched on the purse, ready to take out her pepper spray if needed.


    "What did you want to show me?" She asked him as soon as he flicked the lights on.


    "You know, Allison, I’ve been watching that sex tape all night, jerking to it," he started, and goosebumps appeared on Allison’s skin.


    "Sadly, I’ve gotten tired of watching that one clip over and over again. I want us to make something new. It’s been a while since west became intimate, and it’s my birthday. Why not give me something special today as a gift?" he finished, taking two steps towards her, and she took five to create more distance between them.


    "I’m not surprised you said something so stupid, Derek. But you’re right, I should give you a gift, and I have the best kind of gift you would like," she responded with a smirk stretching on her lips.
