He saw Peter give Jessica a shot and his anger boiled. He wanted to stand up and quickly snatch the drink but he remembered that Evelyn was sitting next to him. He finally looked at her and saw that she didn’t take her own shot of tequila that was served

“You didn’t take it?” He asked her

“Nah, I am fine” she replied

“Oh… ok” he said and she nodded “ Do you want to dance?” He asked

“Uhm, no I don’t think I have the strength to “she replied “but you can go dance if you want to “

“Thanks babe “he pecked her and quickly left the table to the dance floor.  He went straight to were Jessica was. She was about to down the drink when Christian quickly got to her, snatched the cup and downed it himself.

“Christian what are you…” she tried to shout at him but he cut her off

“I will take it from here” he said to Peter and dragged Jessica without looking back.

“Christian let me go… what do you think you are doing?” Jessica complained as he dragged her.  

After they were a little far from the party, he let her go

“What was that about?” Jessica asked angrily

“I told you not to drink” Christian replied

“So What? That doesn’t give you the right to take the drink from me or even worse drag me out here. What exactly is up with you Christian? You are so annoying sometimes!!!” She shouted at him but he didn’t look fazed.

He went towards the water, scooped some with his hands, splashed it on her and started laughing.

“Uhh” she gasped “you are so going down “ she went towards the water, scooped some and splashed it at him. Soon they started a water fight till they were both soaked wet.

When they got tired, they sat on the wet sand , admiring the wave of the sea

“If feel kind of hot” Christian suddenly said

“What do you mean? You are soaking wet , you can’t be hot”

“No you don’t understand, there is this weird hot sensation I feel in my body” he said  but Jessica stared at him confused.

“Peter gave you the drink that I took from you right?” He asked

“Yes but what…”

“Dang it!!” he cut her off “you need to get me to a room”

“Are saying that he drugged the…”

“Yes Jessica, he tried to drug you. Can you see why I need to protect you now?!!” 
He screamed and tears stared falling from her eyes.

“I am sorry, I didn’t know” she cried

“Jessica please let’s go book a room fast”

They left the beach in a hurry and took a taxi back to the hotel. Christian started feeling very uncomfortable but he tried his best not to show it. When they got to the hotel, they quickly booked a one bedroom hotel.

Immediately they entered the room, Christian went straight for the bathroom but then stopped on the way. He stared at the crying Jessica.

“Whatever happens, you have to promise me not to enter this bathroom. No matter what you hear don’t listen to me ok?”

“What do you mean…”

“Promise me Jess, please “ he said with so much emotion

“Ok I promise” she promised and he nodded.

“And don’t call anybody” he said and quickly left for the bathroom.

Soon Jessica started hearing agonizing screams from the bathroom. She panicked and ran towards it.

“Are you okay to Christian “ she yelled

“Go.. away Jess” he replied, his voice was very hoarse and different.

She heard the scream and it sounded like he was in pain. Jess gave up ,  ran to the door and tried to open it but it was locked. She didn’t waste any time and went downstairs to get another key from the receptionist.

In less than one minute, she was back. She went towards the bathroom and quickly opened the bathroom door. She was greeted with a sight that tore her heart completely.

Christian was only left in his boxers, he was dripping with sweat and his eyes red and teary.

“No no, Jess pl… please lo..lock the door. Please you promised “ he groaned as the tears started rolling out of his eyes. Jess could tell how much he was trying to resist. He didn’t want to do this to her but at the end of the day, she knows it’s her fault.

“Jessica, I am begging you please go, just go!!!” He screamed but Jessica ran to him instead and hugged him so tight.

“I am so sorry Christian” she cried

“No, no please no , you promised Jess. I will not be the one to taint you. I will never forgive myself Jess”  he cried as she hugged him.  

“ I would rather be tainted than to see you in pain”

Jessica pulled him to the room and before he could say anything, she smashed her lips on his. He tried to resist but the last shred of self control in him was gone.

That night, Jessica lost her virginity to her best friend. The person she was keeping it for in the first place. It was an amazing feeling to be in the arms of the man she loves the most in the world, even if it is for just one night. Maybe it was not supposed to be like this but she’d rather give it to him than anyone else.

After their night of sex, Christian fell asleep but Jessica was wide awake admiring the man that took her Virginity. 
What will happen after this? He probably wouldn’t remember just like the last time in high school when he got completely drunk and forgot all the events the next day. She thought to herself.

She stood up with a shaking leg considering the fact that she just had sex for the first time. She cleaned him up with a towel and water. She wore his clothes back for him and changed the sheets like nothing happened. She also took a shower and wore her clothes back.  Hopefully, He doesn’t remember anything.
