"Excuse me, Alex's girlfriend?" Jocelynn asked in surprise. She kept her expression impartial to the news but her heart started to race. 'That son of a bitch! He used me! He lied to me, he fuckin' made me feel guilty when he has a girlfriend' She thought.

     Sasha just smiled, "Yeah, we have been together about a month now."

     'A month!' Her minded screamed and she felt Kolas's hands wrap tighter around her waist as if for support. She just smiled, "Well it is nice to meet you. I didn't know Alex was seeing anyone."She said as she held out a hand to her. "I am Jocelynn, I am Howie's soon to be sister-in-law."

     Just then Nick walked up and grabbed Sasha away before she could shake her hand, thank god.

     "What are you doing here?" Nick hissed at her trying to pull her through the club away from Jocelynn.

     "Don't you dare lay your hands on me, Carter." Sasha yelled yanking out of his grip and she raised a hand up to slap him. But it was caught in mid air, by China.

     China was standing behind Sasha when she saw the black haired woman's hand go up, she caught it and whipped her around to face her, "You better not be doin' what I think you are doing, puta. Or you are asking for a good old fashion beat down." China said.

     "What the fuck is it to you, whore? Who the hell are you?"Sasha mocked. "Ah!" She cried out as China grabbed her by the hair dragging her through the club quickly.

     "You stupid bitch, how dare you come to this party to stir up trouble between Alex and Joce!" She screamed at her as she threw her against the wall of the rear of the building. "I know all about you, Nick told me and Alex confessed what happened last night on the way here! So don't even think of pullin' that shit right now you stupid cunt! You were nothin' to Alex but somethin to warm his bed while he pined for Joce and you know it you gold digger."

     She grabbed Sasha by the arm and threw her out the back door of the building and into the pile of trash in the alley. "If I ever see you again, or hear that the names of Joce, AJ or any other of the group come out of that filthy little mouth of yours, I will personally make you eat every word with my fist." Just before she closed the door, China smiled at Sasha. "Oh and to answer your question, I am China Merimeck, Joce's best friend and Nick's girlfriend. And it was a pleasure to meet you."

     And with that China slammed the door closed and turned back toward the party in a desperate search for Jocelynn.

                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Jocelynn watched as Nick yanked AJ's girlfriend she once again felt the bile rising in her throat and she clenched her hands tightly on to Kolas's arms that were tightly wrapped around her waist still. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Are you okay Joce?"

     Before she could answer Alex walked up to her, his face filled with regret, and apology, "Joce that's-" He started but she interrupted.

     "Your girlfriend?" She asked, hearing her own voice breaking with the 2nd word. "Save it, I don't want to ever talk to you again."She said as she pulled from Kolas's arms and turned walking in between Kolas and Blake, trying to get to away. Trish followed her, and Alex tried to as well, but the Andros brothers stepped into his way, blocking him. Every which way he moved they moved to.

     Kolas grabbed Alex by the shoulder tightly, digging his fingers deeply, causing Alex to flinch in pain, "You better stay away from her, got that mate?"

     Alex leaned slightly to look over the brother's shoulders, trying to catch a glimpse of Jocelynn. He could see her hidden in the back of the club area behind the heavy drapes in the V.I.P area. He couldn't tell if she was crying but he knew that on the inside that he was. Nick walked up and placed his hand on his other shoulder.

     "I will take him fellas." Nick told the brothers. Kolas and Blake looked at each other for a moment with skeptical expressions, then with a raised eyebrow Blake looked back and Nick and nodded. Kolas released his death grip on Alex's shoulder and the brothers spun on their heels headed toward Jocelynn where they once again turned around facing away from her, as if they were her bodyguards.

    Alex hung his head as Nick lead him threw the club toward a private in the other V.I.P area of the club. Nick sat across from him at the table and drew in a quick breath, "Aje, I thought I told you not to bring her here."He started off.

     "I didn't, that is the thing. I didn't even mention the party to her, and she didn't even know about Jocelynn till last night when she caught me and her outside the bathroom, before Joce was carried away. I swear man." Alex defended.

     Rubbing his hand across his face, Nick let out a heavy sigh, "Dawg, this is bad. I mean seriously fucked up bad."

     "You think I don't know that?"He asked back. He felt like shit, he looked over toward the direction of Jocelynn where she was leaning against the wall with Trish.

                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Jocelynn had yet to say a single word since she walked away from Alex, which needless to say worried Trish profoundly. Just then a bartender walked passed carrying some bottles of liquor past to restock the bar with, she quickly nabbed one from him, with out looking at what she grabbed.

    "Just put it on the tab," She said sharply to the bartender who nodded in compliance. She easily popped off the top with all the anger that she was feeling right now, and took a heavy drink. 'Jack Daniels' she thought as the liquid ran down her throat and through her body, 'One of my favorite men along with Jose Cuervo and Captain Morgan,'

     Trish tried to grab the bottle from Joce's hand, but Joce glared at her and growled, "Don't even think of it Trish." And then took another swig of the whiskey.
 
     Joce leaned back against the wall and stared at the ceiling. "What a fucking great way to start off my 22nd birthday." She murmured, "You know what, fuck it. He fuckin' had the nerve to make me feel like a slut when HE had a fuckin' girl friend on the side?! Fuck that, I am going to fuckin' enjoy my party despite him!" She concluded and pushed herself way from the wall with her heel.

     Walking toward the bar Joce grabbed Kara and Taz off the dance floor, set the bottle on the counter of the bar after taking one more drink feeling her buzz kicking in hard. Leaning over it, she motioned for the bartender to come over toward her.

     "What can I get you, birthday girl?" He asked, leaning over to her smiling.

      Batting her eyelashes she purred, "Yea, you guys wouldn't happen to have any cans of whipping cream, would ya?"

     A naughty smile came onto the bartenders lips, "Actually we do, but what are you going to do with it?"

    "Give me 5 of them and I will show you."She promised, after she took another swig from the bottle.

     China walked up just then. Kara leaned over and asked China, "What is going on with Joce?" China quickly explained about Sasha and the situation, Kara rolled her eyes. "Wonderful, she's got her own bottle JD here and just asked the bartender for 5 cans of whipped cream." Kara told China.

     "Oh good gawd!" China exclaimed loudly clapping her hands. "Whipped KISSES! Oooo this is fun!"

     Jocelynn turned and handed each of them a can of whipped cream, "Let's do this right." she smiled and the 5 girls then walked away from the bar. China grabbed Nick, Trish grabbed Blake, Taz grabbed a hot guy off the dance floor, Kara grabbed the bartender and Jocelynn grabbed Kolas. They pulled the men up on the stage and made them stand in a line, left to right and hopped off the stage. Nick, then the bartender, hot guy just stood there nervously. Blake and Kolas smiled broadly, because they knew what was going to happen next. The girls returned a few seconds later with chairs along with the cans still in their hands. They each made the men sit on the chairs to that their profile was showing to the audiences.

    Standing in the middle of the stage Joce put her middle finger and her thumb in the sides of her mouth letting out a shrieking whistle, grabbing the clubs attention "First off. " she shouted, "Happy Birthday to ME!" She hollered causing the club to cheer, "Second off, me and my girls picked out 5 of the hottest luckiest men to share one of our favorite treats. And maybe later, I might share it with someone else." She winked at the crowd. And with that she turned around and the girls stood behind the guys, tilting their heads back and filled their mouths with whipped cream.

    The crowd cheer them on as the girls then walked around the guys and each straddled their guy's laps and tilted their heads up to meet their own and kissed them throughly and deeply which sent the crowd into a frenzy. In the back of the room Alex's mouth dropped as he saw Jocelynn kissing Kolas, watching as Kolas' hands running along her thighs and her back. And he knew why she was doing it, to make the pain the he, himself caused her go away. He had seen her chug that alcohol, and knew that she was drunk, and he had once again been reminded that anything she felt he felt as well, and that is was mutual. He saw her eyes open while she kissed Kolas and they looked directly at him, a tear ran down her check as she quickly closed them again, and she moved her head so that no one else could see it. But he had, and he knew that there might still be a chance for them.... eventually.
