A while back Zoe decided that she was going to take a sabbatical from dating. She made sure to say it just like that too, she wasn't going to stop sleeping with men when she wanted to, she just wasn't going to try to get into a relationship with anyone. She reasoned that she had been in a long-term relationship and when it ended, she jumped from guy to guy and never slowed down. It was how she coped with the heartbreak but when she realized what she was doing she slammed on the breaks.
“Well, if that is the case. The taller one goes by Top; the other is Hollow. I can tell you from experience with the man in charge, it doesn't matter how much you ask, they won't tell you their real name.”
“I don't need his real name to take him upstairs,” she whispers it to me over her shoulder and winks with a little shimmy in her hips.
“I love you so freaking much.” She kisses my cheek in reply and then shoots her last shot, ending the game on the table.
“It's time for more drinks and dancing!”

As if he had been waiting on me, Top nods his head and picks up the bottle of Gray Goose as soon as I am headed toward the bar. Only a handful of the girls they had been playing with left the room with us, so we all grouped by the opening and they were able to get drinks before the rest of the line.
It's so nice to know the people serving.
When at the clubhouse, if it was crowded, I would just go behind the bar and serve myself. It seems selfish but when you stand in line people tend to talk to you and I don't like making small talk with other people waiting for drinks. It's also why I made a habit of hanging out near the table in the back where I had beat Monica’s ass.
People don't bother you if you are sitting alone in a dark corner.
“Next time your boss should send more bartenders, we have other spaces that we can set up bars and y’all wouldn't be as busy as you are,” Zoe tells him while she waits for everyone else with us to get their drinks.
“Originally, he was only going to send one so I'm glad that Fin had him send both of us!” His smile is flirty, and Zoe gives him her best smile.
“I wouldn't have been bothered to step back there and help you,” she puts her elbows up on the edge of the bar. Top doesn't miss the opportunity to look at her chest, she made it clear that it was her intention anyways.
“A pretty girl should never have to work at her party!”
“What makes you say that this is my party?”
Top gives her a husky laugh and turns to her completely, temporarily ignoring the people in front of him and giving her his full attention.
“You are Zoe, the Alpha Theta Alpha president. Aren't you?”
“I am, but I didn't realize that you knew that.”
Their conversation continues but I turn to the other girls in the group with us, I was just being nosey but it's really not necessary, plus Zoe will give me a full play-by-play later.
“I thought we were dancing?” Raven slams her drink and moves farther away from the bar, looking over her shoulder I see that the dancefloor is more crowded than it had been, so I follow her lead and drain my fresh glass. We have people that come in and clean the floor after a party, but I don't want to spill it on myself.
These pants are hard enough to get on and off when they are dry, I can't imagine trying to pull them off when they are sticky and wet.
The beat of the music is perfect and the warmth in my stomach makes me happy, so we bounce over to the edge of the floor and get into it. A few guys join our group and I groan internally when Tanner slides up behind me.
“You ditched me earlier,” his voice is too close to my ear, and I cringe away from him. Sadly, I think that Tanner thought that it was a shudder of pleasure because he pushes closer and puts his arms around me.
“I had people to find,” I step forward a little and his hands fall away but he doesn't take the hint, after a few more pumps of music he is pushed up to me once again. The blonde from the beer pong meets my eyes and I shake my head no, silently pleading with her to come step between us.
There are a lot of things that I could do that would get Tanner to leave me alone, but none of them would go unnoticed. I want so bad to turn about and knock him the fuck out. It would definitely make him leave me alone, but while he seems like a nice enough guy, I don’t see him letting something like that go. He could spread rumors that would raise too many questions, or report me to the school board for violence, both of those options would end poorly for me.
When the blond pushes up against me and starts to move us away from him I feel bad that I can't remember her name but when we make it chest to chest it finally clicks.
“Thank you, Allison!” I put my arms around her neck, and we danced in a circle, putting her in between Tanner and me.
“No problem. He is a hard man to say no to.”
“I have been trying to get him to understand that I am not interested but he doesn't want to hear it. I don't think that he has ever met a woman that doesn't fall at his feet!”
