The song is Using you by Mars Argo! Look, another long chapter and steamy chapter ;)

(Hopes POV)

     I run out of the closet and look around for him, but he was already gone. I curse under my breath and go back into the closet and close the door. I look back at the mirror and shake my head. I zip my dress back up and walk out, going towards where the music was coming from, I'm definitely not putting those heels back on so barefoot it is.

     This was definitely a fucking party, there were people everywhere either dancing and grinding on each other, sitting and talking, or at the bar drinking. I continued to look around for Evan but still couldn't find him in the large crowd. I see Brian taking shots with Craig and another guy at the bar. I get between the two of them and grab one of the shots and down it.

     "Well look who finally decided to join us. I was starting to think you already passed out." Brian says. I give him a confused laugh.

     "You should know that I can hold my liquor as much as you can if not better." I grab the last shot and down it. My throat already starting to get warm. Brian laughs as he smacks my ass pretty hard.

     "I think I taught you well then." Craig and I glare at Brian as he continues to look at me. Craig practically staring daggers into him.

     "You know, maybe I should find a nice guy and go to bed with him tonight." I spat out as I cross my arms. He leans into my ear and I could smell the alcohol from there.

     "I'm pretty sure the only person you're going to be going to bed with tonight is me." He leans away as he starts to walk away.

     "Give me one good reason not to go fucking fight him right now," Craig yells over the music. I turn to him and grab his hand. He went calmer after a few seconds.

     "I think that's a bad idea because I would have to drag your stupid ass out of here for fighting one of your best friends." The guy next to Craig says. I look over at him and see he has short brown hair and a beard to match, he's also dressed up for the occasion.

     "Well I'm sorry Anthony but when he acts like an ass to impress Hope it really pisses me off," Craig says still looking at Brian. Anthony leans over and gives me a quick smile and holds out his hand to me.

     "BigJigglyPanda or Anthony is what everyone calls me. You decide what to call me." I smile and shake his hand.

     "Isn't there a pool here? How about a quick dip in it?" I suggest. He nods his head as he takes my hand and goes back in the direction that I came from just a few seconds ago. Anthony walking with us. I heard someone run up to us and was now walking next to me, I turn and see Brian.

     "I don't like the idea of you two going alone together, so I'm coming along." I smile and roll my eyes.

    "We have Anthony here so no we're not going alone. But you're welcome to join us at the pool." I tell Brian. We walk down a couple of steps and go through the door leading outside.

     The music was blaring out here as more people are standing and drinking with one another, or at the bar. There were a few people in the pool which made me feel better about not being the only ones in it. I let go of Craig's hand and walk towards the pool.

     "Are you going to swim in that tight thing?" Brian asks. I laugh as I unzip the back of my dress and slide the sleeves down. The two give me the same look they gave me when they first saw me when I came into the casino.

     "Holy shit you're serious," Craig says as he takes off his suit jacket and unties his tie.

     "What about your cuts? It's going to fucking hurt in the water." Brian says. I shrug my shoulders, with the alcohol just now starting to take somewhat take an effect on me, I don't think it'll hurt.

     I get my arms out of the sleeves and scoot the dress down past my thighs and step out it. Luckily I was still wearing my black strapless bra and black boy shorts. I look up and there at the bar, Evan was staring at me like Craig was just a second ago with Brian. I start to laugh as I turn around and dive into the pool.

     I come back up and see Brian and Anthony still in shock as Craig dives in next to me. I continue to laugh as Brian nods his head, as he takes his suit jacket off.

     "You know since we broke up, you keep surprising me every single day." I look behind him and see Evan isn't outside anymore. Great, now he's avoiding me.

     Craig comes back up and wipes at his eyes, I don't think I ever saw him without his glasses. I look over and see Autumn with her feet in the pool as Delirious is bugging her to get in.

     "Autumn! Come in and let's see if I can beat you in a chicken fight." I yell over to her. She looks over at me and starts to laugh.

     "Only because you asked." She slides into the pool and makes her way over to me.

     "Oh, so you listen to her but not me?!" Delirious says clearly annoyed. I laugh as I look over at Craig.

     "Can I get on your shoulders first if you promise us that we won't lose?" Before I can get another sentence in he was already putting me on his shoulders. "You don't have to ask me twice." He jokes.

     "Hey asshat, as far as I know, I'm the only one who's been crushed by those thighs, I don't wanna hear it," Brian yells. I watch as Autumn rolls her eyes.

     "Shut up you'll get your turn with me on your shoulders." I turn to Brian and see he already has his shirt off. Anthony sits down on the sun chair enjoying what's playing out in front of him.

     Autumn and I grab each other's arms and try to knock the other off. I felt like I was starting to win until Delirious starts to splash water up at me. Autumn took that chance and pushed me off of Craig's shoulders. I fell into the water but quickly got back up.

     "YEAH! THAT'S MY HOOCHIE!" Delirious gives her a high five as Craig was putting me back on his shoulders. Brian slides into the water and watches the two of us.

     "Anthony come get in and have fun," Craig says. Anthony chuckles as he starts to unbutton his blue dress shirt.

     "After this round, I'm holding onto Hope, we'll win for sure," Brian says as he crosses his arms.

    I go after Autumn again and this time Craig starts pushing Delirious around.

     "HE'S CHEATING!" Del yells as he pushes back at Craig. Autumn and I start to laugh as we stop fighting each other and watch the two push each other around. Delirious looks up at me as Craig looks at Autumn.

     "YOU TWO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING! WE'RE MAKING THIS EASIER FOR THE OTHER TO FALL!" Delirious says. 

     I push Autumn as hard as I can and watch as she falls into the water. I raise up my arms and cheer. I fall back to fall into the water but Brian catches me. I look over as Anthony gets in the water.

    "Okay, Brian come on. I'm trying to win here." He gets lower into the water and I climb onto his shoulders. I waited for him to make a comment about my thighs but he surprisingly didn't.

     Autumn and I grabbed at each other's arms as Delirious was pushing on Brian, but Brian kept his hold on me strong. So strong in fact that when Autumn pushed me and I fell back, Brian held onto me and got me back up.

     "YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BRAIN!" I cheer as I push Autumn off of Del again. She begins to laugh as she shakes her head.

     "SEE! SEE! THUNDER THIGHS DO SAVE LIVES!" There it is, he was just waiting for the right moment. 

     Behind me, I hear someone else get in the water. I turn my head and see Evan coming up from the water and fixing his hair. My heart starts to beat faster as the thought of the moment we had together in the elevator and in his closet comes back to my mind. He glances up at me and gives me a wink. 

     "Hey, nice of you to join us Evan awesome party," Anthony says as he leans against the pool wall. Brian turns around to look at Evan.

     "He's probably here to yell at me for having Hopes thighs around my head." Brian snorts as he turns back to Delirious.

     "So it's a crime to join in on the fun now? I was just going to suggest a 3-way chicken fight but sure Brian, having Hope on your shoulders makes me completely pissed at you." Yup, it does, I already know the answer to that.

     "I wanna see if I can beat you and Autumn," I say to Craig. I grab at Brian's hands to make him let go of me and get off his shoulders. "Autumn will stay on Delirious, you two love birds will figure out what you wanna do and I'll get on Evans shoulders, simple as that," I say as Evan was already lower in the water to help me up.

     "You know what, you're on. Brian get over here, we're taking these fuckers down." Craig says looking over at Brian.

     I start to laugh as they're finally getting along with one another. Once on Evan's shoulders, he reaches up to hold onto my thighs and gives my right one a couple of squeezes. Once again, my heart started to freak the fuck out.

     "I have no clue how this is going to work but this looks like fun as shit," Autumn says getting back on Del.

     Anthony counted down from 3 and we all went at each other. Evan held on me tightly as Craig and Autumn both ganged up on me. We stayed like this for at least a minute till I luckily pushed off Craig now leaving Autumn and I. Evan and Delirious started fighting with each other as Autumn and I fought a hard battle which I finally won.

     We did this a couple more times, the guys even wrestling with each other. After we were all tired out we all relaxed in the pool while talking about the heist today. One of the casino staff laid out towels for as we got out of the pool.

     "I'm getting changed and Jon and I are calling it a night. I had a blast though, thanks for this, really." Autumn says. I smile and give her a tight hug.

     "I'll buy a new phone and promise to call and text you alright?" I tell Autumn as she and Del go back inside, towels wrapped around them.

     "Since the party is dying out, I'm taking a much needed shower and going back home. I'm only 22 and I already feel sore more from that than the fucking heist." I say pointing to the pool. I give the drying off boys a smile and walk back inside as well.

     Sure enough, there were barely any people left. I ignored them as I went back to the master bedroom and wandered around it until I found the enormous bathroom. The door automatically opened up for me as I walked up to it. I looked around it and turn on the shower. As I wait for it to warm up, I walk out of the bathroom and go to the closet. Picking out a baggy black shirt and grey spandex, something to drive home in.

      I go back to the bathroom and set the clothes on the sink counter. The door closes behind me. Luckily my wounds didn't hurt in the pool. I unwrap the wet gauze and medical tape off of my shoulder first and look around the bathroom to find anything I can rewrap it in. I was able to find two large bandages and decided that it was good enough and laid it next to the clothes. I brace myself and unwrap the deeper wound. It stopped bleeding but seeing my open flesh is definitely a horrible sight to see. I hope Evan was right about not needing stitches.

     I take off my bra and underwear and get in the warm shower, once again the water not affecting the wounds. I look up at the showerhead hanging down and let the water run all over me. A hand started to caress up and down my side, as lips were kissing my neck. 

     DO. NOT. MOVE. I told myself. My brain was all over the place, scrambling to find out who this was without actually turning my head. My heart was practically beating out of my chest and I was starting to breathe really heavy. The lips lifted off of my neck.

     "You know, I really didn't like what you did in front of Brian and Craig, but I guess they won't see you like this, and only I can," Evan whispers in my ear. Assert your fucking dominance no matter who it is, I hear Autumn practically scream at me.

     "I'm my own person and can do what I want. Besides, you walked out on me and lost your chance." I shakily let out. Yup, just like that I lost. I am now a bottom bitch. Wait, maybe not.

     I turned around and was met with his black hair and brown eyes. DO. NOT. FUCKING. LOOK. DOWN. My mind was begging me to but I did not give in. I felt like I was shaking from my nerves.

     "You alright? You seem to be a little nervous." Evan says as he casually runs his fingers through his hair, getting it wet. I quickly shake my head no.

     "You sure? You know you can tell me if something is making your nervous." He starts to smirk. Again I shake my head no.

      "Then you wouldn't mind if I do this?" He wraps a hand around my lower back and pulls me closer to him as he leans in and kisses me on my lips. 

     My brain exploded and my heart was out of my chest. I'm. Kissing. Evan. I. AM. KISSING. EVAN! My head telling me that we're already not getting into heaven and just sin as much as I can during this moment.

     I wrap my arms around his neck as he picks me up and presses me against the glass shower wall. He starts kissing down to my neck and starts playfully biting where my neck tattoo is. My body practically was melting now and an actual moan escaped my mouth. He stops and looks at me, a huge smirk on his face.

     "Hm, so this is all it takes for you to confess to me? I knew I could get you to crack, it just took me some time." He says, using my own words that I said in the elevator against me.

     I lost, I lost all the dominance I had left in me. I was wrapped around Evan's finger tightly. He chuckles as he gives me another neck kiss.

    "You know what? Go ahead, moan as loud as you want. Everyone's already gone, it's just us." He says in my ear. We started in the shower and finished in his bed. 

     I woke up in the middle of the night in his arms. I tried to turn on my other side but his grip got tighter around my naked waist.

     "You're too comfortable to move away from me." He quietly said. A smile came across my face as I backed up to get closer to him. I was soon back asleep, the smile still on my face. This... this is what I wanted in life.
