-Just a little earlier back at Sound Garden.
"You're a cutie," a tall girl wearing fishnets over her whole body said. She had tapestries covering her privates and a thong.
The boy she spoke to just realized she was talking to him. "Who, me?" He was bewildered that this beautiful woman was talking to him. "Y-you're not talking to me, are you?"
"Yes, you." She seductively used her index finger to poke his nose and softly dragged it past his lips, then his chin, all the way down to the center of his chest. "What's your name?" she got closer and invaded his space.
(There's no way she is talking to me) he thought. "I-I-I…" he stuttered. "I'm Shawn." As she got close to him, the room seemed to go silent, as if the music and all the people in the room disappeared. It felt as though the entire rave had vanished. The only people left in the world were him and her. He could hear his heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump.
"I'm Scarlet," she reached to shake his hand. He embraced it, going to kiss her hand. He paused, noticing her ring. It gave him an eerie feeling. Yet he ignored that feeling and kissed it. He felt something odd when he made contact with the ring, but with his hormones raging, he ignored it.
"What plans do you have tonight?" she cued. "Me and my friends know a place. Come with me," she whispered in his ear.
He couldn't imagine turning down this opportunity. He gulped as his temperature soared through the roof. "I'm yours."
"I know," she baited him. The eyeliner drawn on her eyes only attracted him more. She grabbed his hand and led him through the crowd.
They made it to the exit and three other girls dressed just like Scarlet were there. "Scar!" one of the girls called out as she approached.
"Who's this cutie?" another one of her friends invaded his space, causing his temperature to reach an all-time high.
"This is Shawn," Scarlet introduced. "These are my girls: Julia, Aria, and Thelma." Thelma was the redhead that was all over him calling him a cutie as he walked up. Julia was the blonde beauty that called out to Scar as she was walking up. Then Aria was the quiet brunette that was looking at Shawn like a snack.
"The valet should be here with the car soon," Thelma informed. "Are you ready to come with us?" she whispered in Shawn's ear, then licked his cheek.
He melted in her arms. "Yes."
They all laughed. The music stopped, and they walked outside. The valet pulled up with a car that wasn't there before and said, "Yours is next," to them.
"Thank you," the girls said in unison.
"Shawn, how did you get here?" Scarlet asked him.
"I caught the bus," he replied.
"Perfect," she beamed. "You get to ride with us."
The valet pulled up in a big black three-row S.U.V.
"Here you are," he said, handing Julia the keys.
"Come sit in the back with me." Scarlet's eyes gleamed. "Trust me, tonight is going to be unforgettable," she said as she climbed in, giving him a nice view.
"Yes, ma'am." He raced in before they could change their mind.
As they drove off, Scarlet reached into the back and grabbed a bottle of alcohol.
"Yes. Bitch," Aria finally came out of her shell, reaching for the bottle as Scarlet took a sip. They all passed the bottle around, taking shots from the bottle.
"Your drink, too," Thelma ordered Shawn from the front seat.
Aria was in the middle row, so she passed him the bottle. He took a big swig and felt the alcohol immediately. "This is some strong stuff. Woo!" he yelled.
"Yes!" Scarlet cheered. "That's it. Let loose."
The radio came on and Shawn heard one of his favorite songs come on. "This is my song!" he yelled. "Turn it up!"
They all began to sing as the words started:
"You're so much better at everything. And I sink lower in my chair, there's no compare. I adore you. Ooh, I adore you." They sang as the music blasted Fred Again, Adore U.
They kept passing the bottle as they sang and the songs changed. "Hold on, young heart," Shawn sang as he cupped Scarlet's face in his hands.
"This is the energy I was waiting for, baby boy!" Scarlet said as she began to kiss him passionately.
Thelma found her way from the front seat to the back with them. "Trying to hog all the fun for yourself," she teased as she began to kiss them, creating a triangle of sins as they caressed each other's bodies, tasting each other's tongues.
When his hand touched Thelma's hand, he realized she had the same ring as Scarlet. That wasn't important to him in this moment, though. He was living in a movie. Nothing was going to distract him from what was going on.
Yet as his fingers touched the ring again, he felt cold sweat take over his body, like his body was telling him he should be scared, but his eyes saw no reason to be scared.
A new hand touched his belly. It worked its way up to the side of his face. "Oh sweet boy," Aria joined, kissing him and sending fireworks sparking through his body, making him feel better than he ever had in his whole life. Her kiss felt different from the others. It felt like his soulmate found him. She gave him butterflies.
"Wow," was all he could say as their lips separated.
"We're still here," the other two interjected, kissing him and rubbing him ferociously.
"We're here," Julia informed them as they pulled up to what looked like a castle. "Good old Glenside."
"Shawn, hope you're ready for me," Julia challenged seductively. "Everyone else has been having fun while I was driving. I've just been here building tension, waiting for you."
They all got out the car and headed to the giant front doors of the giant home.
