Chaotic (Imperfection Perfection #1)

After introducing Mia to my grandparents and my dad, our visit had been a little uncomfortable. Mia kept yawning loudly and complaining about how bored she was, while Justin tried to get to know my dad a bit. The two of them took an instant liking to each other, so I was relieved by that at least, but I knew I had to get Mia out of there before Grams started pulling her hair out by Mia’s rudeness.

“Sorry, not many people are in town since schools on break.” I had tried to call Zoey to join us, but she had flat out refused after I told her all about Mia. I couldn’t really blame her. So we ended up heading to Justin’s favorite bar in town, his favorite because it was the one where we had met.

I had all ready downed a few drinks since walking in, and I had a feeling I was going to need a few more to get through tonight. “Well, whatever, I’m going to the bathroom and then I’m coming back to dance with your man. Hope you don’t mind,” she sang out, before brushing past Justin, her boobs doing most of the brushing.

I let out a sigh of relief as soon as she was gone and Justin pulled me into him, his chest vibrating with laughter. “It’s not funny,” I said, poking him in the side. “She’s all over you and has barely even said a word to me. I’m just ready to get out of here.”

“She’s just looking for attention, baby,” he murmured into my hair before grasping onto my chin to tilt my head up. “Unfortunately, she’s looking for mine even though she’s not going to get it. I’ll dance with her a couple of times, try to fight off those damn hands of hers, and then we can drop her ass back at the hotel. Sound good?”

“Awesome, but I’d watch it. Those hands have seemed to land a few places they really shouldn’t. You actually looked like you might be enjoying it,” I teased.

“Right,” he snorted, leaning down to brush his lips against my ear. “The only hands I enjoy on me are yours, and they better be ready because when we get back to my place they are going to be very, very busy.” He tugged on my lobe before pulling away, and I groaned when I saw Mia heading back to our table.

“Well hurry up and dance with her, or you won’t be seeing any action from these hands tonight. I’m in serious need of another drink.”

I slid onto an empty bar-stool and ordered a drink while trying to resist the urge to spin around and watch Mia like a hawk. I trusted Justin and knew he would behave himself. I think he actually found Mia sort of funny at how desperate she was being. I really didn’t though. At all.

“Can I buy you a drink?” A guy sitting next to me asked, tapping on my shoulder to get my attention.

“Sure,” I replied with a smile. Might as well get myself a free drink while I’m sitting here being gloomy. He slid his card across the countertop to the bartender and turned back to me, giving me a wide smile of the whitest teeth I had probably ever seen.

I tossed my head back, downing the shot as soon as it was set down in front me. I was all ready feeling tingly from the drinks I had when getting here, so I knew I should slow down, but I was going to use tonight as a free pass. I think I deserved it with having to put up with Mia.

“You better slow down or you won’t be able to walk out of here at the end of the night,” the guy suggested, and I just shrugged my shoulders, eyeing the bartender for another. “Wanna dance?” He motioned his thumb towards the dance floor, and I spun around in my chair a little too quickly, my head spinning like I had just gotten off of a ride at the fair. “No, thanks,” I said, hiccupping as I pointed out Justin and Mia. “I’m here with my boyfriend.”

“You’re kidding, right?” The guy replied, his brows knitted in confusion. “That guy is not your boyfriend, if he was, he for sure wouldn’t be dancing with that girl like that.”

I grabbed onto my stomach as the sweetness of the shots sank in and what Mia was doing together were equally making me sick. She had a wide smile on her face as she grinded her ass against Justin’s crotch and then spun around to dip down low in front of him. Well hello penis, nice to meet you.

I couldn’t help but laugh at Justin’s expression though, he looked a little horrified as he stood there stiffly, trying to back up as much as possible which was why he was currently against the wall. Mia had him trapped and he couldn’t have looked more terrified. My big bad, soon to be cop, boyfriend was scared of my stepsister. Kind of ironic.

I saw him say something to her and she stood up quickly, teetering on the heels that were so tall even I wouldn’t wear, and a frown replacing her seductive smile. Justin removed her hands, said something again, and then they both headed in my direction.
