Flirting with a Demon

Chapter Nine

Kelly's POV

During lunch the next day, I can hear big mouth Emily talking about a club she wants Angelica to go to with her and Hannah. I knew exactly the one she was talking about, it's called Element. I tuned the rest of their conversation out as I began to work up a plan in my head. 

Angelica's POV

After much begging, I told Em that I would go with her Friday night to celebrate my birthday. She also promised she wouldn't kiss me while dancing and I burst out laughing at that while Lucas looked pissed. He's so different around other people than when he's alone with me. In school, he's quiet and has a powerful aura about him that keeps most away. Except for his friends obviously. When he's alone with me, he's so sweet and talkative. I honestly adore both sides of him though. 

On the car ride home, I told James about my Friday night plans. I thought he would be thrilled, but he sounded angry as he told me that it was a bad idea and to cancel it. We argued the entire way home. I decided if I get permission from mom and dad, then James can't stop me from going. 

During dinner, I brought the topic up. "Mom, dad? Could I go out Friday night with my friends?" I asked. They both looked at each other for awhile, before returning their eyes to me. Dad was the first to speak. "Where do you plan on going?" Okay, so this is good. He didn't say no right away, I thought to myself. "To a club for a night filled with dancing to celebrate my birthday. I promise I won't drink." Giving them the best puppy eyes I could manage. Mom spoke up next. "You have been staying home and keeping up good grades. So, one night won't hurt to have some freedom." I started cheering and thanking them before my dad interrupted. "However, you can only go if James does as well." 

James is just sitting in his chair with a smirk, but concern in his eyes. The anticipation for his answer is killing me. "James, please?" I begin to beg him. "I'll go, but you owe me." He finally answers. I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you!!!!" 

Friday Night

After school, Emily and Hannah are coming over to my house. We decided to all get ready together, since we would be riding together anyway. Lucas offered me a ride, but I explained that my parents are only allowing me to go if James is the one to drive me there. He understood and told me he would see me later after giving me a kiss on the cheek. Never fails to make my heart flutter. 

Emily picked out a strapless v-neck, red dress with a slit on the right side. She also told me to wear the gift she got me for my birthday underneath it. I took the bag out of my closet and started blushing as I pulled the black lace, crotch-less panties out and a black, laced bra. Emily took the bra from me and tossed it to the side. "You don't need a bra with this dress." She stated. It's not like anyone is going to see it, so I decided to put them on. It made me feel so slutty, even though I'm not. "Where's Hannah?" I ask, as it's been awhile since she left my room to grab water. 

Em and I make our way down to the kitchen looking for her. When we find Hannah, both of our jaws hit the floor. James and Hannah were in a very heated make out session against the kitchen counter. I cleared my throat to gain their attention. Both started blushing when they realized they were caught. The three of us went back to my room without saying a word. Once I closed the door, Em and I started laughing. "Oh, shut up!" Hannah playfully shouted at us. "Your brother is so nice and extremely hot, I couldn't help it." I put my fingers in my mouth making a fake gag sound. 

When we arrive to the club, I can't help this uneasy feeling I have. I try my best to shake it off and walk inside with my friends and James. It doesn't take long before a pair of arms are wrapped around my waist. Lucas never fails to look devilishly handsome. He could wear a cardboard box and still look amazing. He leans down and gives me a quick kiss before telling me how sexy I look. Totally forgetting that our friends have never seen us expressing any intimate feelings toward each other, they are all standing there gawking at us. This makes me blush even more while Lucas is smiling. "Finally!" Emily shrieks out making everyone laugh. 

The music is blasting some pop music and the strobe lights are flashing in the darkness. I'm having so much fun dancing with everyone! I can't believe I've never done this before! I can see why so many people attend these things. I also can't believe Lucas is here of all places. He doesn't strike me a club type of person, but he is full of surprises. He's a freaking beast on the dance floor, which causes many people, mostly girls watching him. This is something I'm not comfortable with, but he pays them no attention. It makes me happy to see him turn down any girl that offers him a drink or dance. Is that selfish of me? Maybe, but my feelings for him are becoming stronger each day. I don't want him with anyone other than me. 

I excuse myself from my friends, and make my way to the bathroom. I'm a hot sweaty mess, that's for sure. I splash water on my face and when I look in the mirror, I gasp. The last thing I see before darkness consumes me is Kelly holding a rag that smells of chloroform to my face.
