[indent][indent][indent]As the pulsating beats of whatever song had been playing fueled him with the necessary energy to jump around and fist pump the night away, across from him Chrissie had been doing her own thing. It didn’t take Kavi long to notice that she had a style all on her own. While most, especially those who he had the pleasure — sometimes displeasure — of dancing with had their favorite two or three moves they repeated in a somewhat graceful fashion, he couldn’t help but be amazed that Chrissie truly was the theater queen she professed she was. The way she danced was reminiscent of something out of Footloose. The way her body maneuvered itself and the passion she felt and the genuine joy he saw on her face was something of a contagious thing. 

Seeing her smile like that made Kavi don one of his own and he took her hand, twirling her so she was closer to him. When she was close enough, his free arm came around her waist and he placed it firmly on her lower back, bringing her closer to him. He lowered his head closer to hers because he was a little taller than her, positioning it close to her ear.  [color=teal]“Seems like we have a few fans,”[/color] he said loud enough so she could hear.  [color=teal]“They look jealous of how good you are.”[/color] Kavi saw some of the looks people were giving them earlier.

[color=76FF7A][i]“Please.”[/i][/color] Chrissie glanced over to the few individuals he was referring to, like her dearest Kavan, his boyfriend, Archer, Kavi’s ex, and… raising an eyebrow, letting her green gaze fall on Chanel’s form, who was fluidly moving with absolute skill and sex appeal, she took note of how many times the other girl looked at her. Or him? Both of them? [i]Hm.[/i] 

Perhaps Chanel still had some unresolved issues with Kavi. Well, she wouldn’t be the only one. With unresolved issues towards this man that is. From what Chrissie could gather, it seemed like it was Kavi versus the world. [color=76FF7A]“This isn’t new for me.”[/color] She shifted her body to face Kavi once more, bored of the onlookers, and just in time to miss the sight of her cousin. Looking up at him, resting her hands on his chest, she delightfully simpered, curiosity getting the best of her, [color=76FF7A]“One of these fans so happen to be a girl with strikingly dyed red hair. Does that bother you?”[/color] 

[color=teal]“Not at all!”[/color] He was lying. Seeing Ariel over there, he couldn’t quite help himself but feel a little tilted about it. She was the person who initially asked for the break and she-[color=teal]-[i]no, I’m not going down that street again.[/i][/color] Kavi had to stop himself and diverted his gaze from his ex and to his date. [color=teal]“She’s missing out. I’m a helluva good time. Not my fault she couldn’t handle me at my worst.”[/color] Was it cruel of him to say that? Probably. Part of him didn’t feel that way but they agreed to be friends, so he was free to be as handsy with anyone he wanted to. 

Smirking, Chrissie leaned in, bringing her lips inches from his, [color=76FF7A]“It doesn’t help you have such a hot date, does it?”[/color] And like the tease she was, she pushed away and stuck out her tongue. Two single people, not binded by anyone, with no fucks to give. That’s what Chrissie and Kavi were. [color=76FF7A]“Sucks to suck! If she wanted you so bad, all issues aside, she wouldn’t have let you go.”[/color]  

Just when he thought he had her figured out, the Queen of Teasing pulled away. And just when Kavi was getting comfortable. But the night was young. They could most certainly find themselves close enough later, so that’s the main reason why Kavi didn’t stress.  [color=teal]“My thoughts exactly.”[/color] Kavi truly was tired of playing like he had to be the guy that had to change. Both he and Ariel were fucked up, so like the Devil’s Tango, it takes two.

As he scanned the ballroom shortly, he sighed out a bored breath. Out of all of those around, Kavi couldn’t say with any certainty that any were as interesting as Chrissie was. Maybe Ariana but she was with the jackoff of all jackoffs. King’s own Florida Man in the flesh.  [color=teal]“So what’s the plan tonight? Cause a little mayhem for some unsuspecting suckers?”[/color] He nudged her shoulder teasingly.

[color=76FF7A]“Oh yes-yes-yes.”[/color] Chrissie [i]loved[/i] the sound of that. Turning on her heel to also scan the ballroom with her date, like predators looking for their next prey, she clapped her hands in excitement, [color=76FF7A]“Ooooooh. I know just the person for me. My lovely friend over there.”[/color] She pointed at Shawna, who at the moment was with Jack and Sunshine, [color=76FF7A]“She’s been going through a lot of growth lately. From Kellie, to a little fling with me, and now she has a pocketful of Sunshine! I honestly love this journey for her and should take a moment of my day to hear [i]all[/i] about it. How ‘bout you?”[/color] The thespian was already treating Kavi like he was one of her best mates, bringing him into tea that not everyone was aware of. Like Chrissie’s and Shawna’s sex adventures.  

Kavi followed Chrissie’s arm to Shawna and he saw Jack. He was thrown for a loop seeing Jack with Shawna. He didn’t know much about her (aside from how much she hated him), but she was the last person he expected that literal jackoff coming to the dance with. Then again, perhaps Kavi didn’t know him as well as he thought. He and the other boys liked to tease him for his name, so probably not a lot of opportunity to really get to know the guy. That aside, finding out that Chrissie and Shawna had a thing was probably the least surprising fact. Shawna had a bit of a rep and it was common knowledge her choices in partners didn’t always produce the best outcomes.

[color=teal]“Not sure yet,”[/color] he admitted, looking around for someone to play with for a bit. [color=teal]“But I’m sure, when something happens, you’ll know because people here like to get physical with me.”[/color] He let out a sigh, [color=teal][sub]”and not always in the way I like,”[/sub][/color] Kavi said low enough so that Chrissie was the only one who heard that.

[color=76FF7A]“When that happens, [i]if[/i] that happens, I’ll make sure to be your knight-in-a-cute-pink-dress, how’s that sound?”[/color] She cheesed up at him, before letting go and dismissing him with a slap in the ass. [color=76FF7A]“Now go get ‘em tiger. Whoever… they are!”[/color]

He smirked and laughed. [color=teal]“And you better have some fun too. No use bashing them eyelashes of yours if you don’t go for maximum carnage.”[/color] They were truly like two peas in a pod in how they thought and approached many things.  [color=teal]“Look for me later when you’re finished with Shawna and the Jagoff and I’ll give you the Kavi Salvador special.”[/color] As he walked away, hands in his pants pocket, Kavi turned his head and shot his date a wink.

[color=76FF7A]“Sure thing, babe. You’re not hard to find.”[/color] After impishly waving back, her inviting stare looking over her shoulder, she brought her attention to her friend and her girlfriend, Jack had run off somewhere. Probably for the best. Chrissie wasn’t fond of the dude. Sauntering effortlessly, making sure they didn’t notice her, Chrissie came from behind Shawna and covered her eyes, [color=76FF7A]“Guess who!”[/color] Following her introduction, she giggled like the childish teen that she was.

[hr]
At the back of his mind, Kavi was unsure what he wanted to do or even who he wanted to approach. He saw Chrissie had already made contact with Shawna, so it was just a matter of him finding someone of his own. At one point during that initial departure from his date, Kavi had thought about giving Max a good kick in the nuts for old times sake, but he couldn’t find that idiot anywhere. So what was he to do now?

Stopping where he was for a brief minute, his ex-girlfriend caught his eye. She was alone for the most part. People were around her but she wasn’t engaging, it seemed. Contemplating his available choices, he took a quick, hefty sip of his drink and proceeded towards Ariel. 

The closer he got to her, the more he became reminded of the awkward nature of their relationship. Exes could be friends but truly how different had things become between them? SInce taking their break, they didn’t talk anywhere as often as they used to. He knew it made sense. Part of the reason they took the break was to figure things about themselves they hadn’t been able to [i]because[/i] they were together and always getting into fights. He truly thought he had changed and, in a way, he thought she was past some of her issues. As it turned out, neither of them had changed, not in the way it mattered, at least.

About a yard and a half away from her, Kavi waved at his ex with a genuine smile. “Nice dress!” Kavi noted, resisting every urge that was beckoning him to eye her up and down. Before, when they were together, it was cute, but now it was inappropriate.  [color=teal]“You having fun?”[/color] Kavi asked, keeping his eyes at eye-level because he knew the temptation to go any lower, while totally worth it, might earn him another broken nose. Instead, he made it his mission to focus on other things - like the enticing babelicious date he came with.
