You were no stranger to the massive parties hosted at Jake Dillinger’s house, but this was definitely the first time that you’d found yourself to be the center of attention at one. You’d just been lounging on one of the large couches that had been pushed up against one wall of the living room having a conversation with Brooke when Jake came and dropped down to sit next to you, throwing an arm over your shoulders.

Brooke hesitated for only a moment, but something in Jake’s gaze must have solidified her decision as she quickly muttered something about finding Chloe and abandoned her place beside you, leaving you alone with Jake.

“Some party, huh?” You said eventually, more to break the ever heavier silence than anything else.

Jake shrugged, studying you intensely. “It’s the same as the rest,” he said dismissively. “What’s going on with you and Brooke?”

You blinked, surprised by his question. The two of you talked now and then, but there’d never been more than a casual acquaintanceship between you and Brooke. You’d assumed that was as plain to see from the outside as it was to you. “Nothing? She’s nice and we talk sometimes, but I’m not sure how that’s your business anyway?”

Jake’s usual smile returned, cheeks dimpling with his happiness. He shrugged, tightening his loose hold over your shoulders to draw you a little closer to him. “I just don’t want you to show that cute face to just anyone.”

You opened your mouth to reply but found yourself stopping short. Cute? Jake Dillinger thought you were cute?

Your confusion must have been clear because Jake let out a boisterous laugh, leaning in to press a sweet kiss to your cheek before standing up from the couch. His hand slipped down your arm until he could take your hand in his and tug you gently to your feet. “Dance with me, cutie?” he asked imploringly, wide brown eyes fixated on you.

And really, how were you supposed to say no when you had someone like Jake Dillinger asking you for a dance?
