What is Home

Chapter Fifty-Five

"There is the man of the hour!" Reece's voice took over the living room as Grayson, Ally and I entered the living room. He held his drink in the air to cheers to Grayson's arrival.

Grayson bowed, causing laughs from the crowd in the living room. I couldn't help but join before I disappeared into the kitchen, filling my red cup with whatever was closest to me. I leaned against the counter taking a few sips watching my group all embrace each other in hugs. I smiled at how happy and proud of themselves they were. It took all the worries and pain away.

I topped my cup off before joining my friends in the living room. Ally was sat on Pierce's lap, which honestly, just earned an eye roll from me. Grayson pulled me on his upon my arrival back to them. He grabbed the red cup from my hand tipping back some of its contents. I glared at him only getting a smirk in return.

I looked over at Pierce who was watching me closely. He and Harlow were going to be the only sober one's at the party tonight. That was really only a recipe for disaster. I was a sloppy drunk. There was no telling what kind of trouble I could get myself into. Especially when Grayson was already being handsy before the night had even begun.

After chatting and drinking for about an hour. Everyone drinking had a buzz on. You could see the glaze starting to take over their eyes and their giggles begin. Pierce was still stone cold, watching me like a hawk. No one was aware enough to even notice. Not even the girl sat on his lap, who he had barely even placed his hand on since her ass took a seat there.

"Let's play a game." Ally's suggested. The words slurring slightly as she spoke. I could see the relief wash over Pierce as his girlfriend moved from off him.

I took a sip from my drink letting the burn hit me like a tidal wave. The alcohol taking over me every sip I took of my drink. This game was doing to be great. Things were going to get messy and I was ready for it.

"Spin the bottle." She looked around at everyone already forming a circle around the table sat in the middle of the room. "No hard feelings for couples. It's just a game." She shot a look at Pierce, clearly the alcohol was getting to her head too. She never let him go near another girl and now all of a sudden it was okay for him to kiss someone else. Game on Bitch. "If you land on your sibling it's a re-spin."

I watched the bottle intensely as she took the first spin. It landed on a boy a few people down from Pierce. His eyes watched her like a hawk as she shoved her tongue down this poor boy's throat. All is fair in love and war.

As she returned back to her position next to Pierce his eyes shifted to me. He stared at me like a predator stalking its prey, ready to pounce at any moment.

Spin after spin, Pierce and I felt the pressure building. Waiting for one of us to get the bottle. With each passing second, the alcohol consumption of the group grew higher, and the sloppiness of the kisses rose.

Pierce's lips crashed into another girl's as the bottle landed on him. He didn't close his eyes; he wasn't even focused. All he was waiting for was his chance to spin that bottle.

His movements to the bottle in my mind were so sluggish. I couldn't even function as the beat of my heart hit my head in a pounding sensation. Was the room closing in? Because fucking hell it sure did feel like it.

My eyes studied the bottle as it spun and spun feeling like it was never going to stop. Come on fucking stop already. Stop on me. I mentally screamed at myself.

It started to slow and my mind felt numb as it came to a stop in front of me. My eyes darted to the boy who I had kissed for months behind closed doors. A smirk rose to his face as he moved around the table bringing his face close to mine.

I swallowed hard trying to get any sort of wetness back into my mouth. Before I could even think, my lips were connected with his. Pierce fucking Kingston's lips were pressed against mine in front of everyone.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair. His tongue grazed my bottom lip before sliding into my mouth to meet mine. This boy had not one care in the world, as his girlfriend sat watching this happen.

"That's enough!" Ally's voice broke from behind Pierce, but his lips lingered for just a few seconds longer.

As he pulled his lips away from mine I couldn't help but to give one last show. I bit his bottom lip in between my teeth as he pulled away. His lip snapping back to his teeth as a smirk flooded his face.

"What the fuck was that?" Ally said slapping Pierce's arm as he returned to her side.

"It's a game Ally." He spoke so coldly to her not removing his eyes from me. "That you wanted to play."

I felt Grayson tense beside me but I wasn't going to look away from my boy. Everyone around could tell that wasn't our first rodeo. Pierce and I were playing a whole other game that no one else was clued in on, and we both felt the power raging through us.

"Well this game is over." Ally stood up grabbing the bottle from the table.

"It was just getting fun." I smirked grabbing my cup from Grayson's hand and taking in the rest of its contents.

"Fuck you Charlee. You just shoved your tongue down my boyfriend's throat." Ally's knuckles were turning a bright white from how hard she was gripping the bottle in her hand.

"You had your tongue down his throat." I pointed to the boy who she had just done the same thing to earlier in the game. "You're just pissed because it's me. Jealousy isn't cute." I stood up matching her height.

"Charlee." Grayson grabbed my hand from the floor trying to make me back down from his sister. Grayson was always going to be my voice of reason. But it never meant I had to listen to him.

I pulled my arm hard away from his grip. It caused both him and Pierce to quickly come to their feet. They knew when I got feisty that I was ready to begin my tornado, destroying everything in my path.

"You were practically fucking him in front of us. What kind of slut are you Charlee?" I laughed and took a few steps towards Ally. I wasn't scared of the bottle that she could hit me with. Honestly, I was daring her to try and hit me with it. Then, I could destroy her.

"Fucking him in front of you?" I walked past her and up to Pierce who had closed the distance he had between us. "Is that what you want me to do?" I ran my hand down Pierce's chest staring at him, ignoring everyone else around.

Pierce brought his bottom lip between his teeth out of pure habit. I stopped at the top of his jeans, tucking my fingers in the top pulling him towards me, closing any distance we had left between us. I looked back at Ally, and in turn Grayson, who had nothing but shock on their faces. 

"I asked you a question." I said as I pushed my hand against the front of Pierce's jeans. Rubbing the hardness that had already begun to fill his pants.

"Stop touching my boyfriend." Ally said gritting through her teeth. Her body was practically shaking with anger.

I stepped away and looked Pierce up and down. "I don't think your boyfriend is as broken as you think he is." I smirked at the very evident erection in his pants.
