Chapter 148
Akira's POV
Vida turned her back on me, as she slipped into her dress, not that they were different from the ones she was wearing earlier but it's better than her work wears. "What? No of course... With him? No oh..." I sipped on my wears completely and then asked her to zip up for me, she did without hesitation, and she asked that I fix hers. I spun her around once I was done with hers. Her expression was a mixture of surprise and innocence.
"You know, you know you are not good at lying so spill."
She let out a painful huff before she pulled me into a hug. Her chin was on my shoulder as she spoke.
"I am not some prostitute, letting him kiss me, the previous day, doesn't mean that I go about kissing everyone I see... That was my first kiss, something I was supposed to give to my one true love but then I gave it to someone who didn't appreciate it, someone who made it a point of duty to make my superiors give me workload but I am not complaining because I don't even have a boyfriend to go on a date with but it's tiring and I want to quit but I need the money, to care for my sick aunty, to pay for this place, I don't want her selling this place, I don't lose this place."
"You can stop working for him, if he is stressing you, I could..."
"No, I want to prove to him that, I might not have a diploma, I could still do things without the help of anyone."
"Gosh, I don't fucking know that you need money and your aunty is sick."
"I do but I am not quitting even if I am at my lowest pit." She grunted, extracting herself from me, "he should be happy that I gave him my first kiss but it's not going to happen again. Once I get the money for the bills, I will leave and find a new job but for now, I will endure all his bullshit. If I could put up with Lady Cassandra, I could do just fine with that asshole of a beta."
I knew firsthand the pain that comes from having so many responsibilities, having a family that depends on you, and having little or no cash to care for them. As much as I did want to help Vida, I didn't want her to feel less of a human. I didn't want her to be pitiful, so I would let her have her way till I could stand and get the both of us out of here, even if I got to use Amelia's money.
I grabbed her hand and forced a smile on my face, "Let's not think about that tonight, remember you said, we should party like no man's business."
"You are right, no man, no family, just the two of us."
"Yeah! And I am drinking on that."
Half an hour later, we emerged from a parking garage near a nightclub that is far more classic than Lady Cassandra's bar, I turned and looked at Vida.
"This place looks..." I paused and looked at Vida, as we stepped into it, through a wooden automatic door, I don't know how they do it, but it was very much perfect unlike the people inside which were nothing close to perfection, "seedy..." I found the perfect word for it, eyeing one of the couples at the side, judging from the female breath, I could tell that have sex already.
"I like it." Vida barked out a laugh. Not sure much more issues Vida had but I think we both need a breather.
We squeeze ourselves through the crowd and once we are finally inside the nightclub, Vida lets out her breath.
I grabbed Vida's arms, "to the bar." Her eyes snapped to me. "stop with the look people don't go to clubs to drink water or observe."
"Fine, to the bar." She cheers.
We make our way to the bar, only to have the bartender, having a heated kiss with another fellow. Vida looked at them in anger, like one of the pair was her boyfriend.
Vida slapped her palm on the table that was sticky with only God knows. Expecting to alert the two, it's like it's little or no effect on them, he sticks his tongue into his partner more, and she shakes her head giving me that malicious grin.
I know that expression, Vida is up to no good. "I know that expression."
"More like you don't like it," I smirked as she sneaked her way into the bar and grabbed a tequila.
I look down at the bottle in her hand, "you deserve a kiss." I mouthed and she smirked.
"Maybe, I would have jumped at that, if someone else wasn't going to feel it and order for my head."
"Silly, let's get out of here fast, so we could return it." I pulled her hand, searching for a good spot.
"So you are planning on returning it?" I asked, she tilted her head towards me.
"Probably an empty bottle," Vida shouted.
We giggle to ourselves, like some maniac. Even without tasting from the drink we are already acting weird. It didn't take us a single second before we uncapped the bottle, passing it, back and forth. Swaying our body to the music.
I have lost count of the number of boys, Vida and I had danced with. A lot had happened in this short period and I am beginning to feel suffocating.
My mind as quickly became hazy as we guzzled, more than half the bottle. I knew we should go home and much of time, had passed, but I had no clue, and I didn't care. The more we drank, the less I cared and the more my troubled heart was filled with excitement.
My eyes dazzle around the hall and I think I see someone from the circle of Wolfie, it isn't Meredith, nor the gamma but Riley, I think he is Wolfie's cousin.
It wasn't a surprise to see him here, he looked more of a Playboy than the others. Still, I didn't care the reason, he was there. Vida and I dance against each other. She stood at my back and our body flushed as we lost ourselves more on the dance. She took a sip from the almost empty bottle wiping her lips with the back of her palm, "Someone is watching us, it's dangerous." She giggles in my ear, even when she was saying something serious.
"Maybe, I was just drunk but I could feel it, it's burning and suffocating." She murmured, my eyes scared the area, Riley was still there, but this time, he was having good sex with a female, he couldn't be the dangerous one.
I lifted my gaze, searching through the crowd, I still couldn't feel anything, "past me the bottle, and don't act too scared." She murmured before receiving the bottle from me, she took a big gulped empty the remaining drink. "Fuck... This is like a poisonous snake bite." She giggled, feeling the after-effects on her throat. "We should go, he is dangerous." I tilted my head, my eyes caught the figure.
