Never Say Goodbye

by T. Renee Fike

  A bunch of the girls yell to count them in, but I continue looking at the work sitting in front of me.

  “Oh Livie, just so you know I wasn’t asking you. You’re coming,” Brynn says with a smile.

  “I don’t get a choice?” I say with annoyance.

  “Not tonight, you’ve been reading and doing homework all week. Tonight you are taking a break.”

  “How would you know? You’re hardly here,” I retort.

  “I have my ways. Now, go get dressed, we’re leaving in an hour,” she says excitedly.

  I don’t bother to argue, because I could definitely use a night out of fun. I head up to my room and go through my outfits. I want to look hot tonight, and getting drunk sounds like a fantastic plan right about now.

  “Holy shit Liv, you look awesome,” Sophie says from the door.

  “Thanks,” I say with a smile. I’m wearing a little black dress, it’s short, definitely shorter than I normally wear, and it’s strapless and hugs my body like a glove. I pair it up with my killer red sparkly high heels. I’ll probably pay for the heels later, but I look hot, if I do say so myself. My make-up consists of smoky eyes and my dark hair is curled.

  I take one last look in the mirror and then head down the stairs to leave with the girls.

  I walk down the stairs and Brynn stares at me, “Holy shit, you look hot bitch,” she says with a giggle.

  “Shut it, you’ve seen me dressed like this before,” I tell her.

  “Yeah, but that was freaking years ago. That dress is awesome, I want to borrow it soon,” she says as she fixes something with my hair.

  “Sure, you know it’s in my closet,” I say smiling.

  “Are you trying to get laid tonight Liv?” she says in a sarcastic tone.

  “Ha, very funny, then again, I’m not opposed to it,” I say shocking her.

  “Oh hell yes, this is going to be so much fun,” she says clapping in excitement.

  We get to the club, show our fake Id’s to the bouncer and head inside. The bar is ridiculously packed. The music is thumping and people are grinding all over each other.

  We head right to the stairs and climb them to the second floor, go to the bar and order our first round of drinks.

  “Hurry up girls, I wanna dance,” yells Brynn.

  Of course, she wants to dance already.

  I’m thankful a bunch of our sorority sisters came along; hopefully she won’t notice me not dancing.

  “Come on,” Brynn whines. A group of the girls get up and head off onto the dance floor with her.

  “So, are you hiding over here for a reason?” Sophie asks.

  “No, just not in the mood to dance.”

  “Do your feet hurt yet?” she asks with a laugh.

  “Not yet, I’m sure they will soon enough,” I say truthfully.

  “It happens, they are hot as hell though,” she says smiling and glancing down at my high heels.

  “Thanks.”

  “How about a few shots?” she asks surprising me.

  “You read my mind,” I tell her as I stand up and follow her to the bar.

  It doesn’t take long for the waiter to ask us what we want. Sophie looks at me to name my poison.

  “Four red headed slut shots, please,” I tell him.

  “Four?” she says looking confused.

  “What? You asked,” I tell her with a smile.

  The waiter makes the shots in front of us; we pay and stand ready to down them.

  “To getting drunk,” I say holding up my first shot.

  “Hell yes!” she cheers and we down our first shot.

  “To getting laid tonight,” Sophie says, holding up the next shot.

  “Absolutely,” I say as I clink my shot glass to hers and down it.

  Damn they are good.

  “What the fuck bitches, you did shots without me?” Brynn says with a pout.

  “Sorry,” I tell her.

  “Fine, but be ready for another,” she says. The waiter comes back over to us, “Six shots of whatever the hell they just drank,” she tells him.

  “Six?” I ask confused.

  “Hell yes bestie, I’m making sure you’re having fun tonight,” she says excitedly.

  The waiter brings six shots over, we each down two.

  “Ready to dance now bitches?” Brynn says laughing.

  “Fuck yeah,” Sophie yells.

  I just laugh and follow them to the dance floor.

  The second floor dancers aren’t nearly as good looking as I would have hoped, but looking down at first floor, I decide we need to head there.

  “Hey, let’s go down there,” I say pointing to some hot guys on the first floor.

  “Oh hell yeah, finally some hotties,” Brynn says a little too excited for someone who’s not single.

  I just laugh and lead the way down the stairs.

  Dancing with ourselves allows us to act however we want. We dance and move to the beat with each song that starts.

  “Go dance with him,” Brynn yells to me.

  “What if he has a girlfriend? I’m not trying to piss anyone off,” I tell her truthfully.

  “Does it look like he has a girlfriend?”

  “Well no, but that doesn’t mean anything. Maybe she’s in the bathroom.”

  “Ugh, you are frustrating, wait here,” she says as she heads in the direction of one of the hotties.

  “Hey you,” I hear from behind me. I turn and see Levi standing there, looking all too sexy.

  “Hey yourself,” I say a little too happy to see him.

  “So, I was thinking…” he starts to say.

  “Oh no, are you sure that’s wise?” I interject.

  “Shut it smart ass,” he says laughing, “You look gorgeous by the way.”

  “Thanks,” I tell him as I start to dance with him.

  “Are you seeing anyone?” he asks in my ear.

  “No, why?” I say looking questioningly at him.

  “Well, I’m not either.”

  “Like that’s a surprise, you don’t date,” I say with a laugh.

  Levi’s hands find my hips and he pulls me closer to his body. My arms automatically go around his neck and even though it’s not a slow song, we are dancing extremely close.

  “Touché, but I was thinking, if you aren’t seeing anyone, maybe we can continue with our benefits thing.”

  “Oh, you want more of me huh?” I say confidently.

  “Would I be here right now if I didn’t?” he says, piercing me with his eyes.

  “Good point, but why? I thought you were doing the friends with benefits thing with someone already,” I say, questioning what I was told.

  “No, definitely not, that’s only with you,” he says looking honest.

  “Can I think about it?” I ask, even though I already know the answer.

  “Ouch, that hurts,” he says faking a hurt heart.

  “Oh please, that didn’t hurt your ego one bit,” I say slapping his stomach. That instantly makes me think of his body and how it looks and feels naked.

  “So, what can I do to persuade you?” he asks in a sexy voice.

  “You’re doing just fine,” I tell him, slowly giving in.

  “Oh yeah?” he says with a smirk.

  “You need to get tested, God knows where you’ve been,” I say quietly to him.

  “I just got tested, I’m clean,” he says piercing me with his eyes again.

  “You are trouble,” I tell him with a laugh.

  “I’m the best kind of trouble princess,” he says as he pulls me even closer, if that’s even possible. I can feel his building erection and hold in a giggle.

  “Fine, yes,” I say with a smile.

  “Great, you ready to go?” he asks looking serious.

  I just stare at him dumbfounded.

  “R..Right now?” I ask stuttering.

  “Yeah, why not right now?” He asks.

  “I told Brynn we could do girls night,” I say looking around
for her.

  “She looks like she’s taken care of,” he says, nodding in the direction of her.

  I turn and see her wrapped in Chad’s arms dancing.

  “So, what’s it going to be?” he says looking at me intently.

  “Let me just tell her I’m leaving, then we can go,” I tell him excitedly.

  I walk over to Brynn and interrupt her make out session on the dance floor to let her know I’m leaving with Levi. She gives me a hug and whispers in my ear, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” That’s not saying much. I just laugh and walk back towards a waiting Levi.

  I wave to Sophie who looks anything but happy, I’ll have to ask her why tomorrow.

  As we make our way closer to the door, I glance around quickly while walking and connect eyes with the one person I didn’t expect to see, Nathan.

  He looks irritated and ready to punch something. I don’t stare too long because he quickly turns away and heads in the direction of the bar. I wonder what’s up his ass.

  Thankfully, Levi’s leading the way, leading me by the hand and we exit the club.

  We get into his car, “Are you okay to drive?” I ask nervously.

  “Yeah, I only had half a beer,” he says with a smirk.

  “Half a beer, why?” I ask confused.

  “Because I saw you in that and realized I needed to get that dress off of you as fast as fucking possible,” he says staring at me, while starting the car.

  “Oh, is someone horny?” I ask with a giggle.

  “You just fucking wait,” he says as he backs out and pulls onto the road.

  “Are we going to my sorority house or your place?”

  “My house, definitely my house, its closer,” he says anxiously.

  “So you like the dress?” I say making conversation.

  “The dress, the shoes, fuck,” he says looking at me and then back to the road pushing the accelerator.

  All I can do is laugh. I like the attention though. I can feel the shots kicking in, but it doesn’t matter, I know what sex is like with Levi and I want more.

  He parks the car then hops out to run around and open my door before I even get the chance.

  I step out of the car and his lips are on mine before I have time to react.

  His kiss is urgent and aggressive. He lifts me up and I immediately wrap my legs around his waist wanting more.

  He’s exploring my mouth, tasting every part of it. I can feel his erection though his jeans and my skimpy dress. I want more, now.

  “Levi,” I say as I pull away from his eager mouth, “can we make it inside?”

  He starts laughing, “Yeah, hold on,” he says as he grabs my wristlet and shuts the car door with his foot. He walks into the house with me still wrapped around him like a vine.

  We barely make it into his room before we’re stripping one another. I have his shirt off and start unbuttoning his jeans.

  “The shoes stay,” he says in a demanding tone.

  I nod, and he unzips my dress in the back, pulling it anxiously from my body. I’m left standing in my red strapless bra and matching thong.

  “Damn, you’re fucking hot,” he says as he peruses my body. He quickly kicks off his shoes and pulls his pants and boxers off, standing there in nothing, but his naked glory.

  Now it’s me who peruses his body.

  “These gotta go,” he says with a devilish smile as he unhooks my bra and throws it over his shoulder. He slowly pulls my thong down and he falls to his knees to allow me to step out of them, “Turn around,” he demands. I do as he says.

  He stands behind me allowing me to feel his hard erection. “Damn, I’ve missed fucking this body,” he says as he slides his hands up my sides.

  “Then what are you waiting for?” I ask eagerly.

  “You aren’t going to be able to move tomorrow Liv. I’m apologizing now, but I’m about to fuck the shit out of you,” he says, making me excited for what’s in store.

  “Stop teasing,” I say with a laugh.

  Next thing I know I feel this slap, hard on my ass.

  Holy fuck, he just slapped my ass!

  “Did you like that?” he whispers into my ear.

  Did I like it? Hell yes, I can’t believe he just slapped my ass and damn, it’s only making me hornier.

  “I’m talking to you,” he says.

  “Yes,” I whisper.

  “Oh hell yeah, I knew you were naughty, I just didn’t realize how much,” he says as he slowly twists one of my nipples making me cry out in pleasure.

  I try to turn, but he holds me against his body, “Stay like this, don’t move,” he says as he holds my hips in place. I do as he says.

  He pulls on my nipples and then uses one hand and heads towards my sacred spot.

  When his hand grazes my clit, I jerk with excitement. I want more.

  “Bend down and grab your ankles,” he says from behind me. I instantly bend down and grab a hold, excited for what’s next to come.

  He holds my hips in place and slaps my ass again, causing me to moan out loud.

  “So beautiful,” he says as he falls to his knees behind me.

  “Levi,” I start to say.

  “Shush Liv, relax, I promise you’ll enjoy everything I do to you,” he says as he slides a finger into my aching body followed by another, causing me to moan again.

  “Like that?” he asks.

  “Oh yeah,” I say through labored breaths.

  He starts to rub my ass in the spot he slapped me while assaulting me with his fingers and before I can react, he slaps my ass again.

  I let out a yelp and then feel his tongue from behind. Oh fuck, this is hot.

  He licks at my core from behind causing me to move, wanting more.

  His tongue grazes my anus causing me to panic and tighten up.

  “Relax Liv, you’ll enjoy it, trust me,” he says reassuringly.

  I try to do as he says and loosen up, but I’m still as tight as can be.

  “Liv,” he says trying to break me out of my freak out mode.

  “S..Sorry, you just caught me off guard, I wasn’t expecting that,” I say truthfully.

  “It’s alright. I take it you never did anything anally,” he says as a statement not a question.

  I shake my head no anyway.

  “Do you want me to continue?” he asks kindly.

  “Not yet,” I say ruining the moment.

  “Okay,” he says as he pulls me up and leads me to his bed. I plop down and before I apologize or say anything else, his mouth is on my aching clit, making me forget about anything and everything.

  He continues to assault me with his tongue until I’m screaming out his name.

  As I come down from my high he says, “Princess stand-up and grab your ankles again.”

  I do as I’m told. I see him grab a condom out of the nightstand and watch him slide it on. He positions himself at my entrance from behind me and before I can think, he thrusts inside of me, causing me to gasp and moan at the feeling.

  He continues his thrusts pulling so many emotions from me. I can’t move even if I wanted to, he has such a grip on my hips it almost hurts, but with him being inside of me feels too good to say anything.

  I can feel myself building and building, wanting my body to explode.

  “Fuck, you feel so damn good,” he says through clenched teeth.

  “Don’t stop, please don’t stop,” I beg.

  And he doesn’t stop until he has me screaming and himself cursing.

  Sex with Levi never gets old.

  Chapter Nineteen

  For the next few weeks things are going well. I’m doing exceptionally well in my classes, the sorority functions have been great, and I get my fill of sexy time with Levi a few times a week.

  The only thing that seems to be at odds is Chad and me. I’m not sure what the hell I did, but ever since I left The Cave with Levi a few weeks ago, he acts like I don’t exist.

  “I swear to god, I’m about to
beat the fuck out of him,” Brynn seethes.

  “Who? What’s wrong?” I ask worriedly.

  “Chad, the fucker. I don’t know what his fucking problem is.”

  “What happened B?” I ask calmly.

  “He bitches about you, like you did something wrong. You didn’t. So, yeah we are fighting now because of you, but it’s not your fault,” she says looking to reassure me.

  “Me? What did I do?” I ask even more confused.

  “Who fucking knows. Nate has a fucking problem with you. So Chad has decided he does too. All because of some stupid bro code or some bullshit like that,” she says irritated.

  “Brynn, I thought you two decided to not talk about Nathan or I? That you wouldn’t let his issue with me come between you two.”

  “We did, but no, Mr. Fuckpants thinks he needs to back his best friend up, which only makes me back you up because Nathan’s wrong and you won’t fucking set him straight,” she complains.

  “We talked about this, Nathan already made his mind up about me. Nothing I say will change anything,” I say, being honest. It wouldn’t, he hates me for something I didn’t do, but he won’t believe it, he’s too damn stubborn.

  “Damn it Liv, can’t you try? My relationship is going to shit because of it,” she says looking hopeful.

  “Fine, I will talk to Nathan.”

  “When?” she asks excitedly.

  “Today, I will go over there and talk to him. We will clear the air so you and Chad can go back to normal alright?”

  “Thank you,” she squeals as she hugs me.

  This isn’t going to be a fun conversation, but I need to do it for Brynn.

  “Do you want me to come along for support?”

  “No, I need to do this on my own, but thanks,” I say with a small smile.

  “He’s there now if you want to go over,” she says looking hopeful.

  Damn it, I thought I would be able to put it off for at least a few hours. Figure out what the hell I’m going to say to him.

  “Okay, let me get my things and I’ll go over there now.”

  “I’m coming along, but it’s to smack my boyfriend upside the head,” she says with a wink.

  I grab my wristlet and keys then head over to Nathan’s. As Brynn calmly walks in I start to become nervous all over again. What the hell am I going to say to him?

  “You aren’t wanted here, you need to leave now Liv,” Chad says, looking pissed.
