Tw*ts and Dances

Chapter Five –Twats and Dances

The music was blasting now, and the dancefloor filling up. I was feeling more than a little merry with the alcohol and needed a drinking break before I made a complete i***t of myself. 

The conversation was flowing happily, and Elliot still had his arm around me, being the perfect fake date, and I have to admit, I was having fun.

 He was polite, interested in the conversations, and funny as well, if this had of been real It would have been dam well perfect, because let’s face it, he is Mr Perfect, hot as hell, ripped, tall at around 6 ft 2 Dark and dam handsome.  But it isn’t so I need to calm myself down and sober myself up before I become like the granny who had other ideas for him!

As we chatted, I could see my cousin Chrissy she was flashing looks of annoyance over every opportunity she got.  Chrissy was her mothers Daughter, an out and out b***h, and spoilt brat, with an elevated sense of who she was.  Dressed in a black sequence dress, that just to say covered her backside with a tight halter neck, she was dressed to kill so to speak, and joy of joys she was toddling over in her six inch heals that defies the laws of physics to our table.  Here we go again!

“Helena, you have a man I see, that is a novelty for you” she said as she plonked herself unceremoniously down beside Elliot and proceeded to bat her fake eyelashes at him and give him a sexy smile.

I saw Aubrey’s face, she rolled her eyes, and Larry looked over to me and gave me a little smirk as if to say ignore her.

Elliot however, again ignored her existence, and his arm tightened around my shoulder, literally pulling me closer to him, well given I was tipsy, I just snuggled in, and made the excuse to myself, that it was part of the act, but hey who am I trying to kid, it was really rather nice, especially as his chest was hard as iron, dam he is ripped!

“So how did you meet?” she continued but to Elliot not me, however I needed to ensure the story was the same as I had told Aubrey so quickly replied before him.

“In Aldi of all places” I smiled, Elliot then gave me a wink and a smirk, catching on quickly,

“Aldi, you shop at Aldi, I shop at Sainsbury’s” she showed off, like who cares a bag of potatoes is a bag of potatoes wherever they come from!

“So why were you in ALDI” she mocked at Elliot, still battering them fake eyelashes, I am surprised they stayed glued on and had not taken flight!

“buying food, why do you think” he snapped, his voice hard and cold, dam, he was a little scary when pissed off!

Chrissy blinked, a little shocked at his tone, but then smiled again,

“Wow, you must go to the gym a lot, you are so muscular” and the b***h squeezed his arm, I mean, really, I am right here, and I have not squeezed his arm and I have paid for the privilege!

“Hands off the goods please, there is only one lady aloud to do that, and it is not you” he shot back at her.

Chrissy’s face dropped, and like her mother before her, screwed up, she was seething.

“Where is your boyfriend Chrissy?” Aubrey interrupted, trying to help Elliot and me out

“At work, he has night shift” she said, then turned to me her face like thunder.

“Well, I doubt you two get much time for fun, given she has kids, poor you Elliot” she said glaring at me as she did so. I shifted uncomfortably now, the old feeling of being not worth anything coming back to haunt me.

“Excuse me, but I am in need of dancing with the most beautiful girl in the room” Elliot said then removed his arm from round me and took hold of my hand standing up he pushed passed a shocked Chrissy leading me to the dance floor.

“Thank you” I said simply, I was indeed so grateful for the rescue,

Smiling he pulled me quite close and whispered,

 “You are the most beautiful girl in the room, never let them put you down baby girl, believe in yourself”.

Oh wow, my fake date said I was beautiful, and well, even if he is just playing a part, it was still nice to hear, and made me blush as red as my dress.

Laughing Elliot smirked at me “So cute” and we started to dance bopping about to some hit, given I no longer go out, and have my kids the only music I listen to are nursery rhymes and Disney songs, so I have no clue what song is playing right now, gone are the days where I was proud of knowing every lyric of every song in the top ten! Now I do not even know who sings what!

I relaxed into the dancing and I have to admit, it was so much fun, and the alcohol had made me loosen up, and not really give a s**t anymore so I was happily dancing around. I no longer felt awkward, plus Elliot seemed to be enjoying himself, at his leaving party shall we say, so it was all good fun.

Around five songs in, I needed the bathroom, so quickly excused myself and headed to the toilet.

I headed into the cubical to do my business when I heard the door to the bathroom open and Chrissy’s voice loud and clear.

“Louise have you seen her dress though, she thinks she looks good, and it is a lacy granny dress” she giggled, Louise was Chrissy’s best friend, and well she had been in the year above me at school, hated me, don’t know why, and do not really care if honest, she was as big a b***h as my cousin, birds of a feather and that!

“Yeah, wonder how she bagged him though he is hot” Louise bitched, now given I am in a red lace dress and Elliot is dam hot, I stayed in the cubicle because I had the feeling they were bitching about me, and did not want to go out and face them.

“He will get bored of her, lets face it, who wants second-hand goods, and after two kids she will have a fanny the size of a welly top” Chrissy laughed,

I started to shake, this was below the belt, and although I know it is out of meanness and jealousy, I could not help but be affected by their spiteful words. I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, as I continued to listen.

“I am surprised she even came, she normally doesn’t, guess now she has him she thinks she will fit in with the rest of us, sad cow” Chrissy continued, and now the tears that were stinging my eyes broke free, silently streaming down my face, because she was right, I was a sad cow, I had paid for a f*****g date to stop the comments, and I could not even get a real man to show interest. 

“Ah well, it wont last, he will get better than her” Louise laughed,

“Yeah me!” Chrissy giggled, and they left the bathroom.

I stayed in that cubical for I do not know how long, but a long time, trying to pull myself together, the words had stung, and I felt like utter s**t.  Why had I come here?  It’s not like I did not know this would happen, so why am I even surprised? I should have just stayed home!

I wanted to run away, to leave this dam party and go home, to wallow in my own world of self-loathing, but before I do that, I need to pull myself together because those bitches will never see me cry!

I heard the door go again, oh great more people to hear slag me off, but then relief as Aubrey’s voice shouted out to me.

“Helena, you still in here?” she asked sounding concerned for me.

“Yeah” was all I could answer, but I let myself out of the cubicle finally, looking at me, Aubrey shook her head at me, with a knowing look, she already knew the answer before asking the question.

“what happened?” I looked at her, wiping the tears from my cheeks.

“Chrissy”

“s**t, she is a jealous b***h, ignore her Helena, don’t let her get to you!” she pulled me in for a hug, and as she did, I broke a little more inside.

“That man of yours is asking where you are, he seems lost without you, so come on, lets fix your make up, stand tall and go out there and show that b***h just how amazing you are!” I smiled then; it was good to have someone in my corner.  My parents always were of course, but they were never around because of Dad’s job, so to have Aubrey right now was a blessing I was really thankful for.  

Grabbing her makeup out of her bag, she helped me touch up my face, then smiled,

“Shoulders back, t**s out, come on girl lets show them what your made of” and we walked out and back into the ballroom.

Elliot came straight over, and took my arm then whispered to me “Thought you had ran away” he smiled at me.

“I nearly did!” my eyes looking at the floor,

“what happened?” his voice was laced with annoyance, and I was unsure if that was at me, or because I was obviously upset.

“You don’t want to know, anyway, it is over so let’s just play pretend again shall we” I was being stand offish and I knew it, my voice cold as ice, and Elliot stiffened at my words, and not in a good way!

His face set hard, and he led me to the dancefloor again, just as a slow song started, s**t I did not want to slow smooch with the hired help, it had already gone to far in my mind. But it seemed I had little choice in the matter as he placed his arms around me and started to sway side to side with me.

Elliot’s hands trailed slightly down the bare skin on my back, again with the dam tingles that accompanied his touch, he bent his head down to me, and whispered to me,

“I am not pretending, I have not lied, other than taking about Aldi, so stop putting yourself down please”.

I could not look up at him, because again tears stung my eyes so just buried my face into his shoulder, as his hands continued to trace up and down my back oh God how I wish this was real, but it is not, he is doing his job, and was obviously very good at it, no wonder the granny brigade wanted to give him s**t tons of cash for a happy ending.

The song ended, and I just wanted to go home, to get out of this place, so looking down at his feet, that by the way are huge! And made me wonder if the old saying was true… big feet big… get your mind out the gutter Helena I chastised myself.

“Do you want to leave baby girl?” Elliot asked his voice filled with concern.

“Yes please” I nodded up at him, because right now, I wanted to be as far away from this place as I could possibly get.

He sighed then, and took my hand leading me to the table to grab my purse and took over the niceties of saying goodbye to everyone, making our excuses, and he led me by the hand outside and back to the car.
