We sipped on our drinks a while longer until I desperately needed the bathroom and excused myself. Maybe I'd look for Anaya too. I'd lost track of her during the little heart-to-heart Josh and I had just experienced. Wow, I was still kind of in shock that he'd actually opened up to me.
A few moments later, as I exited the ladies' room, I heard a strange noise coming from around the corner in some small hidden nook. Clearly, someone was getting it on.
But did I need to investigate? It kind of sounded like someone might need some help, and the last thing I wanted was for some poor girl to be in trouble. Not on my watch!
God, I was drunk as shit.
Quietly, I edged up to the corner and took a peek. I could hardly believe the sight in front of my eyes!
Holy fuck! Anaya and Dr. Hot were sucking each other's faces off!
My hand over my mouth, I retreated a bit, the image burning in my mind of what I'd just witnessed. But wait, what I'd seen was hot as hell. I needed to see it once more. The position, the heat, the passion. So I took a little looksie again. It couldn't hurt, right? They had no clue I was even there.
Oh, my God! Anaya finally, finally, got her man! I was thrilled for her!
And Lordy, with one hand, he had her wrists pinned above her head, and his other hand was cradling her cheek. God, that was pure fire right there. What a lucky girl.
A firm grip on my arm brought me back to reality, and I whirled around to see Josh standing there.
"What the hell are you doing?" he whispered against the loud noises coming from around the corner.
"Uh, uh..." Shit. That was definitely kind of pervy of me. I followed him down the long hallway.
"Were you seriously watching them?" he asked, his voice laced with amusement. "Are you into that kind of thing? Voyeurism?"
"No! It was just the technique. It was super hot, and I was checking it out, you know, for future reference."
That stopped him, and he paused to look at me. "What technique exactly?"
I leaned back against the wall and put my hands up. "So grab my wrists with your right hand."
Josh looked at me like I was a little bit crazy, but he did it anyway.
"And then," I said, "with your left hand, cup my cheek."
For a second, he hesitated. But then shocking the hell out of me, his warm hand met my cheek, making the breath leave my body.
His eyes stared into mine as he moved closer, our bodies being drawn together like some invisible magnet pulling us. Right before his body touched me though, he stopped, and I could feel the heat coming off him in waves, sending electric spirals through my stomach.
Fuck.
God, I couldn't even breathe. I needed oxygen desperately.
Before I could fully process what was happening, he pulled back, dropping his hands, giving me some much-needed space.
What the hell was that about?
Without saying a word, we made our way back to the table. The night air was cool and refreshing, thank God, and Allison pulled me away to help her organize the silent auction winners. Again, thank goodness, because I needed a little time to focus on something else other than the weirdness that had just happened between Josh and me.
A short while later, I spotted a grinning Anaya returning to our table, right when the music began to heat up. The open bar was hopping, and the beats were getting louder. People were getting shit-faced and showing it. This party was about to go off.
Allison and I could no longer speak over the DJ's sounds, and she sent me away, back to my table. When I approached Anaya, we exchanged the world's biggest squeals, jumping up and down, clasping our hands together.
"I know!" I shouted.
That was all she needed to hear, my best friend of forever, and she let out another ecstatic noise.
Josh handed us both champagne, and we all raised our glasses.
