Some cheered me, some are just plain screaming and such. In my mind, I just want to get this done.
I simply approached the man they pointed to. I did not make it obvious of course. I first pretended to ask for a drink from the bartender and leaned over the counter top. I deliberately posed to show the curve of my body in the tight dress I was wearing.
“Tequila please. "
My arms touched a bit of his skin and with that I got his attention. I pretended I didn't mean it while pulling my hair off the other shoulder so he could see how cute I was.
"Yo missy, lookin’ hot eh?"
"Really?"
I looked at him and saw his face, kinda my type. Just the haircut that's not on my list.
"Yeah, with that hot dress and ..."
He placed his hands on my waist so I faced him. It's easy. In my mind, so I let it touch me because I knew it would end game right away.
"I was about to send you nudes, but then I realize I don't have your digits, so ..."
I bit my lip and placed my knees on his thigh. I saw his eyes squint and seemed to tremble at the gesture I made.
"Yes baby, you can have it of course."
I smiled when I saw him seem confused as he took his cellphone out of his pants. I look back at our table and so my friends cheering on me because it's obvious how easy it is for them to do it.
"Here," he handed me his phone but…
"She's 17 years old, do you want to get behind bars bro?"
A firm and husky voice stepped in the moment.
My brain stuttered thinking I was just hallucinating because of the drinks I had tonight. Simultaneously, with the rapid change of light is also the speed of events. Erato meddling with my little consequence made me want to piss off.
What is he doing here? The unable to draw face of the man I was talking to was in front of me.
"Hey, no-no. I'm sorry, he's ... no-" I stuttered.
"Get the fuck out of here." Erato whispered in my ear.
A tight grip on my arm I felt forced to pull me away from that man. I still feel like an idiot who seems to be reaching out my hand to the man because he seems to be shocked to find out that I am under age but was able to enter Neon.
With all my mind I lost my attention in the noisy surroundings and my attention was focused on the man who almost dragged me away from there. I can smell his scent, very familiar scent.
His big palm is grasping my right arm, he’s holding me so hard that I feel like it will leave a mark. I looked at his face and even with the blinding colorful lights and dim surroundings, his jaw line never failed to be noticeable.
"Erato what-"
I didn't continue what I was saying because I looked like I was going to fall when we made the turn towards the parking lot.
"What? My friends are still inside!"
My voice echoed on the underground parking. I turned around and saw us being greeted from one direction by my driver.
"I'll take her home."
His hard tone is enough to stop my driver from saying anything. I couldn't even process what was happening because I almost begged my driver not to leave me with Erato.
And the fact that he said he's taking me home is enough to made me go berserk. I want to be okay! I really want! But I didn't want to be with him even though he saw me being such a hoe again just a while ago.
What if he’ll really tell dad this time?
"What? No! My driver will take me! Dad will get mad." I nagged.
He did not answer me. My heels clacked more and faster when we are almost in his car. He rang it and then let me go when we got to his car.
"What the-"
I whispered because he was like almost gonna bite me because of his harshness. I side eyed my arms, I could see it was red because of what he did. My head seemed to suddenly heat up. The nerve of this guy!
"I'll be with my driver. Dad will be mad at me!" I repeat.
I swallowed hard as I met his fiery gaze towards me. Even if I force my bravery, my chest is still pounding because of his furious eyes now. He's clenching his jaw so hard that almost make me want to run away now.
"I'll go now." I uttered for goodbye.
"We’re still talking Jade."
A strong swallow again I did. I held my clutch so hard as he towered over me. His voice is low yet cold and husky. I bit my lips before answering.
"I'm going home, dad will get mad at me."
I said that because I couldn't think of any words to say to him.
"And if your father sees you flirting inside, do you think he'll just feel angry?"
I sighed nonchalantly. I tried so hard to pretend that it was nothing so just he won't bring it up to dad.
"It was just a dare! Me and my friends are just having fun!"
"And that is your definition of fun?"
"Well yeah! We have fun for each other! Is your life sad and you're trying to drag me with you?"
"You are underage, Jade. Knowing the reputation of your dad you are just putting him in disgrace."
My mouth hanged opened and I was taken a back by what he just said. His words smacked me straight into my face. I haven't recovered right away and I still laugh sarcastically.
"What do you know about what's and what's not Erato? My dad won't even tell me those words and now you have the guts to say it in my face? Fvck you!"
