EM - 9

Wow! Is this a nightclub? Noisy. The smell of cigarettes and perfume wafts as soon as I enter it. The frenzy was felt.

Damn, almost all the women here don't wear perfect clothes. Average open. The thumping sound of the music made my heart beat a little too.

"Don't stay away from me," Dave said right in front of my face. A little surprised to find Dave talking so close like this. I gulped before nodding.

Whether he's aware of it or not since the entrance earlier, his hand keeps holding mine. He led me up to the second floor and waved at the group of men already there. There were about five people. Was that friend Dave meant?

They high-fived as soon as we arrived. Of course only with Dave.

"Wow, another new girl?"

New girl? What does the bangs guy mean?

Dave didn't answer he just smiled, then told me to sit down. "You guys move aside, give me a seat."

"Can I get to know you?" The brown-haired boy stepped closer to me. But Dave's big hand got in the way.

"Sit right. You don't have to act too much."

Instead of obeying Dave's orders, the boy laughed, followed by his other friends.

"Gosh, who are you bringing with you this time? Very protective. What's your name, beautiful lady?"

Dave rolled his eyes. "Her name is Reina."

"I didn't ask you."

Dave chuckles. "Just the same."

"She has a mouth of her own to answer."

Dave ignored them. And looked at me. "Reina, these are my friends. These are the ones who talk the most..." Dave pointed at the brunette. "He's Bryan, next to him is Sean. The one with the blue shirt is Tony, the one on the other side is Ricky, and the one with the bangs is Demian."

They waved a little as Dave introduced them one by one. I just smiled at him.

"Hello everyone, I'm Reina."

"Hi Reina, what would you like to order to drink?" asked Bryan.

"Juice. Only juice is Reina allowed to drink." That's Dave's answer.

Dave chuckles. "I asked Reina."

"What kind of drink do you want to offer?"

"Well, at least it's vodka."

"Just watch out if you dare."

"Dave, let me try what they drink," I pleaded.

"No. Do you want to come home drunk? Then the king hangs me?"

I grin. And finally, Dave just gave me juice. I watched how Dave's friends enjoyed the drink. I gulp just a little can not.

Even when one by one they came down, I was not allowed to come down to the dance floor. Then I'm just here as a statue to watch them dance, right? Dave, It's no fun. Not to mention he is already like a security guard watching me.

"I want to go back first, you are not going anywhere. Just sit here. Watch out, don't go anywhere" he warned before leaving. Now I'm pathetic sitting here alone. Until a man, I didn't know approached me.

"Hey, Miss. Just alone. Can I accompany you?"

I watched the man from head to toe. This guy looks like he's drunk. Oh, how is this?

He plopped down next to me, suddenly I backed off.

"Don't be afraid, Miss. My name is James the most handsome man here. Not a single woman dares to refuse me."

His speech is nonsense. Until Dave's friend, Ricky, came and Bryan followed behind him.

"Go away!" Bryan shouted.

"Hey, who are you?" the drunken man did not accept it.

"I'm her boyfriend, what do you want?"

"Shit! Loser."

"Bastard. Go alone."

Finally, the man left too.

"Are you okay, Reina?" Bryan asked leading me to sit back down. "Ricky, get her a drink."

"I am alright."

"Where's Dave?"

"He went to the back. Maybe to the toilet."

"Ok."

I saw Ricky return with two small glasses. And handed it to me.

"Drink, you'll like it."

"Ric, why did you give her that? Dave could—"

"It's okay. I want to try." I hurriedly took the glass in Ricky's hand. And try to drink it. I just drank one sip it made my throat choke. What drink is this? Why do people here like it so much?

"How do you feel?" Ricky asked grinning.

"Reasonable." Then I emphasized the rest to the amazement of the two men in front of me.

My head was suddenly dizzy. Wait, why is it like this? I shook my head before I could see Ricky's face again. I took back the glass in his hand.

"Oh, don't!"

Late. I've finished drinking it. I felt so dizzy and helpless. But this is delicious. I spread my hands.

"Come on, let's dance tonight!" I shouted. The humans in front of me looked at each other unresponsive. Exasperated, I pulled them both to the dance floor.

The sound of thumping music made me excited to follow the rhythm. I'm prancing around with Dave's friends. Never have I felt this free before. This is very fun. My body contorts, inviting their admiration, I move like a hot worm to the music. As if that wasn't enough, I took off the leather jacket I was wearing, twirled it, and threw it somewhere. I cheered when I did that. Now my body is only wrapped in a knee-length dress strap that shows my shoulder. The sound of the music getting louder, I pulled Bryan to be my dancing partner. He also looks very enthusiastic. This is great fun that I made.

I was dancing, when someone grabbed me from behind and dragged me off the dance floor. Dave. Ah, he's back. I rebelled when he told me to stop dancing.

"Let us go home."

"I don't want to, Dave. I still want to dance. Come on, let's dance."

Unlike usual, I put my arm around Dave's neck.

"You're drunk, who gave you the drink?"

I just blinked and then chuckled. Dave's other friends followed us.

"Dave, let Reina enjoy the evening." Bryan seems to be talking.

"Did you get her drunk?"

"I was-"

"I know what you all are thinking. But I don't like you guys making Reina like this."

"Come on, Dave. She just drank a little."

"Then you used her to dance with her and lick her body?! Fuck you all."

"Come on, man. We're just having fun." This time Demian spoke.

"Dave, let's dance again." I was about to get up but was quickly grabbed by Dave's arm.

"We go home."

"I don't want to, I still want to dance. Bryan, Ricky! I don't want to go home." I whine.

"Dave, leave her here first."

Bugh!

My eyes flashed as I watched Bryan collapse under Dave's punch.

"You know who this woman you got drunk is? She's my wife! Damn it!"

I had a chance to see their shocked faces before Dave dragged me forcibly out of this place.

This sucks, even though I just had fun in a real nightclub. But I didn't expect Dave to be this angry to hit Bryan. He took me to the parking lot and immediately pushed me into his car.

"I thought you would be a bother. I just had a short stay. But, you've done it."

I don't care what Dave says. I feel like I'm floating. I smiled happily when I saw Dave sitting in the driver's seat. He looked down at me and was busy fastening my seat belt. I don't know, I like the smell that emanates from the man. Until subconsciously I lifted Dave's head and kissed him.
