LAS SARE CLUB

MARTHA'S POV

The next day - boxing day - was about opening, unwrapping and unveiling gifts. I definitely gifted everyone in the house. It was really tough getting everyone something because what they craved was either too small for me to get them or bigger than my budget. I still got them quality and needed things though. My dad gifted me with clothes and the latest laptop make of The Organization. Not many persons had it and I loved it with my whole heart. If I knew the right things to do, I could track the world from my house.

"Is there any other thing you want my dearr?" asked my dad.

I thought for a while and made up my mind.

"I want you to say yes before I tell you what it is" I smartly told my dad.

"That's not how it works" said my dad, slightly befuddled.

"It is not something tangible and it is something only you can do. Please say yes!" I pressed and batted my eyelashes like the little enchantress I am. I finished the look with an irresistible pout to the irritation of my brothers though it worked on my dad.

"Alright, what is it?" my dad asked.

"Yes, thank you so much. You are the best of the best dad in the world" I said as I hugged him.

"Now what is it Martha Jordan?" he probed..

"Remember you have accepted. My friends and I

I...we would be spending this night at a party!" I said as I looked everywhere except my dad's face.

"Martha Clark Jordan! You mean a club?" my dad asked. His protective mood was flipped like a switch and his eyes popped in complete stun.

"Yes dad!" I replied.

"What have you tricked me into"

"It isn't a trick dad. You just said the answer before the question was asked " I said.

"Now does that even make sense to you!" he said as he ran his hand through his frail hair.

"A Jordan always keeps his words, remember!" I said to my dad, he was always emphasizing on that fact and I felt it was only normal to remind him of his sayings.

"Definitely! Alright, you go to your party but a bodyguard would accompany you. You can't say no to that! Not after what just happened" said my dad and I saw the storm of emotions in his eyes. A mad man I knew nothing of had tried to kill my friend and I and if not because we were in a festive period, I was not supposed to be allowed to step foot outside.

"Then what is the point? It would feel like you are there watching me. Tell him to not make himself conspicuous because if I see him, I could butcher him" I said. I could not believe my dad still had something he could add to my masterful and colourful plan. He almost ruined it all!

"Alright Missy!"

My brothers asked for a video game room to be set up in the house and my dad finally agreed, after two consecutive years of hearty pleas.

When the clock chimed exactly 8 in the evening, Lily and I walked down the stairs. Lily was dressed in an olive coloured silky gown that was armless, and stopped in the middle of her thighs. She matched it with an olive coloured low heel that would enable her to dance her mind out tonight. She was with a flashy black purse that had small stones that glistened whenever light reflected on them. She let her hair dw Marcus was dressed in a simple white shirt and black pants. He folded the sleeves of the shirt and the veins if his hand and a part of his arm was prominently showing. He looked like a low key dangerous man on a mission. He seemed super fatal and Lily's eyes were fixed on him as we got to the base of the stairs. His eyes were on hers also and it was when my dad came closer to us that he seemed to realize that he has been looking at her…intensely!

He cleared his throat like he was coughing and went to the kitchen to fetch a bottle of water. I had plans on making tonight a memorable day for the both of them.

I, on the other hand, was dressed in a nude coloured gown that had a deep opening at the back. So I would not tick my dad off, I wore a black jacket over it and I sure was pulling off that piece of clothing in the car. I paired it with a brown high heeled boot that rose to my knee. I packed my hair up and did a little make up on my face. Next year, I was going to be older but right now, I wanted to have fun..

"What time would you be back?" asked my dad.

"By 5am" I said.

"You better don't mess with me child. Be back by 11 pm"

"Not promising though but alright" I said.

I definitely knew I was not coming back home till it was morning…rebelliousness was crawling under my skin like a virus and I just wanted to do it..at least for this moment. I kissed my dad goodbye on his cheek and I entered into the car my dad had permitted for us to ride. Marcus sat sat in the driver's seat and Lily and I sat behind.

We touched our makeups and I pulled off my jacket and dumped it on the seat in the car.

After twenty five minutes of a mild professional drive, we were at our destination.

Las Sare Club!

The bouncers checked our identification cards and I even pulled out a fake membership card - perks of having a laptop from The Heart. We were searched for any form of weapon and when nothing was found on us, we were allowed to go in.

As we walked through the lights of different colours illuminated the hall, we soon arrived in a room of dancing bodies. Our mouths were shaped in the letter 'O' as we saw how people danced. It was wild there. We rushed to the bartender and ordered for the strongest drink, much to Marcus' refusal.

I concocted my face as the drink hit hot and sweetly burned the end of my throat. I had two more shots before Lily and I joined the dancers on the dance floor.

"Let's do it how it's done!" I screamed to Lily, over the music. I was bound to sound like an anime character by the end of this experience.

Martha was dancing her heart out as she swayed to the beat but she did not know three persons were looking at her strictly and solely, on the dance floor. Two were the private bodyguards her dad had gotten and the other was…Nathan Martin!
