Chapter 70 - 70: Birthday Party IX

Anthony has always been polite, so he answered, "Ah, yes, from the pool party earlier."

Riza was thrilled to know that he remembered her. "Really? Then, what's my name again?" she asked seductively trying to flirt.

Anthony furrowed his brows. What was her name again? 

Riza immediately understood that he forgot. Ugh. Anyway, it does not matter, she will make him remember and make him call it over and over later. Last time, she was a bit stupid. After dancing with him, she waited for him to make the next move. Well, it ended with him leaving and just saying that he enjoyed the dance. 

Riza pouted her luscious lips, "How could you forget so easily?" she said in a spoilt voice. 

Anthony smiled apologetically. "Sorry, but…"

Riza leaned forward showing him her cleavage, as she grabbed his hand, "Alright, I will forgive you, on the condition that you must dance with me."

Anthony who already gave her a once over earlier did not do so a second time. The guys all think that he's a monk and asexual, but really, he's not. It's just that he has his own standards. Honestly, he was a normal teenager, when he sees a really hot girl, he gets a boner. However, problem was, when they start talking and flirting with him, he gets turned off. 

In truth, he wants to experience having sex too. But it's not a matter of him wanting, but a matter of his body not reacting because he has already been turned off. 

Not to say that he has any problem about his, you know. There were also girls who he wanted to bang, but problem was, they were either already taken, or were virginal female friends (friend as there's only Michelle he can think of in that list now). Why not? The already taken, for obvious reasons. How about the other? Well, aside from the possibility of ruining friendship, and having a conscience because a girl's first should be with a special someone who cares about her instead of someone just wanting to bang her, it's also because as said, he doesn't want to be tied in a relationship just yet. He wants to have sex but only if there's no strings attached. Thus, to date, he has not successfully engaged in the act.

Now, why does he dance and entertain the girls in these kinds of parties who flirts with him? Again, he's a normal teenage boy who wants to have sex and he knew that having sex in a party is just a hook up, perfect for what he's looking for. Also, well, to be honest, there's some peer pressure involved. Like if he doesn't at least dance and flirt with some, his friends might already label him as bending the other way. Which he was sure he was not. When he masturbates, he thinks of pussies, not dicks. Thank you very much. 

Anthony looked at Jeff and Vince who seems to be having a good time. They also looked at him wiggling their brows. Ugh. Just get this over with and dance with the girl. He does feel a bit guilty for not even remembering her name anyway. "Ok."

Michelle heard the flush, and Kate walked out of the cubicle. She washed her hands and then looked at her.

"So, have you thought of how to get him to dance with you?" Kate asked.

Michelle sighed, "I had ideas, but he wouldn't even look at me. Did he get turned off with the me dancing earlier?" she asked out loud. She worried that Anthony does not like that kind of girl.

Kate giggled. "I doubt."

"Really? You're not just saying that to make me feel better?"

"Of course. Have confidence girl. Besides, if you saw how he looked at you when you entered the room, you would understand what I mean. Anyway, if I were you, I'll just dance the night away. Who knows? If he sees you enjoying just by yourself on the dance floor, perhaps he will man up to dance with you. Then again, thinking of how dense he is, maybe you should give him the eye and maybe make him a bit jealous? Anyhow, don't ruin your night. We don't get to do this every day, but you do see him in school almost every day right?" Kate said.

Michelle chuckled. Really, Kate was like an older sister when she's younger than her. "Thank you, Kate. I'm glad to have met you and that we're friends now."

"Friends?"

Michelle blushed. Were they not?

Kate laughed. "Well, not till we seal it by exchanging numbers! Hahaha! You're so fun to tease! Anyway, let's head back."

Michelle being more confident tickled Kate. "You!!!!"

Kate laughed as she opened the door to head back inside.

(Michelle POV)

When Kate and I headed back inside, I saw that Anthony, Jeff, and Vince already have company at our table. Of course, I was incensed. How dare that girl take my seat and sit beside my Anthony?

Kate looked at me and shook her head. "Remember what I told you. Besides, Anthony's not into that girl. I can tell you for sure. Look at his gestures. He's being polite but aloof."

I looked at him again, Kate's right. "How did you figure that out?"

Kate giggled, "Comes with experience."

"Did you and Anthony?" I asked a bit guiltily.

"Gods no!" Kate exclaimed, then she laughed. "Anyway, come on. Let me show you how it's done. I'm betting that you have no idea how to play this game."

--

Before Kate and I can enter the dancefloor, I saw the girl, I now recalled her name was Riza one of the girls with Elizabeth earlier, dragging Anthony to do the same.

Although Anthony did not seem enthusiastic, he did not reject her either. He just walked slowly. Gods, I feel the fire burning inside me. I am feeling jealous. Ugh. I knew I have no right to be, but I still felt that way. I mean, I have been loving Anthony one-sidedly for God knows how long. 

Kate laughed, "Stop looking like that. After the dance ends, he will walk back to the table and ignore that girl. He might not even remember her name. Anyway, for your lesson from me, this is what we will do. Before we start dancing, we should zero in on our targets… hmm, see that guy there? After this song, he would be joining me for a dance. Do you believe me?"

I looked at the guy who was dancing sensually with another girl. For real? I looked at her flabbergasted.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not trying to steal him from that girl. Besides, they might just be hooking up. Almost everyone here is."

"I don't mean that, just that it's unbelievable."

Kate laughed, "Believe me, anything is possible. Now, you pick your target. As this is practice, find someone other than Anthony."

I looked around the room, I don't see anyone I find attractive for myself at first until I saw Louis Go. He was standing by a table, a girl chatting him up. 

"Him? Hmmm not bad. You two talked earlier, right? Too easy, but since it's your first then let's go with that." Kate said.

I nodded my head.

"Alright. Now we're ready. Come, let's get this started."
