CHAPTER 5 - Flower
985 Words
"Linda, it's crowded here." I shout in her ear.
"That's why it's a club and the biggest one at that." She shouts back and sway her hips to the rhythm of the song as guy walks up to us and she smiles.
"Hey Linda." He says hugging her and then he pushes her away to face me.
"You are with a sexy damsel." he says licking his lips and winking at me, making me scrunch my face in disgust.
"You perverted jerk." Linda says slapping him on his head playfully.
"He's always like that Mel, he's Jay." She says and he winks again.
"Hey... you will be called cupcake, I like you. I will introduce you to our group and I'm sure the rest will like you too." He says pulling my hand as he leads me to a table surrounded by some people.
"This is cupcake." He says to the people seated.
"Beauty, your name is cupcake?" A jet black haired guy asks.
"No, she's Mel." Linda answers for me.
"Mel, this is Chole, Anna, Zayn and Andrew." She says again gesturing to each of them as she call out their names.
"I have been wishing to have a red haired friend." Chole says with a smile.
"That hurts, I will dye my hair red tomorrow." Anna says holding her chest.
"Where are my manners? Sit cupcake." Jay says pulling out a sit and I mumble a ‘thank you’.
We are all seated apart from Linda, who doesn't care.
"You can sit on the table Linda." Andrew says.
"Shut up and be a gentleman." She replies slapping his head hard playfully.
"Nice dress Mel."
"Thanks Zayn." I reply with a small smile.
"You're welcome." He replies again and I beckon to Linda to bend.
"Didn't you say I'm here to drink until I'm numb." I say whispering in Linda's ear.
"Zayn, you're the one buying the drinks today, remember you lost the game." Linda says.
"I know, you don't have to rub my loss on my face." He replies and leaves.
****
"I'm so wasted." Linda says grinning like a fool.
"Look at that girl swaying her hips, she doesn't even know how to. Let me show you how to do it." Chole says staggering as she climbs the table and begin to sway her hips and Linda joins in.
"Um guys, I what to have more drinks, I'll go get it myself." I know they can't hear me as they are all wasted and just laughing at random things which aren't funny.
Shaking my head negatively, I walk away.
"A drink please." I say.
"Okay." The bartender says as he puts the glass in front of me.
Taking It, I gulp down the drink and I feel my throat burns as the liquid slips down my throat.
"Fill the cup again." I say and the bartender fills my cup again.
Raising the glass to my lips, I take in all its content at once. Leaving just a little at the bottom. Feeling numb, I groan and take my head in my hands as the images of Annabel and Mike kiss keeps reiterating in my head.
"I can still see them kiss, I guess I'm not drunk enough." I murmur to the empty glass in front of me.
"Another! A stronger one." I say to the bartender who mixes two different drinks and pour it into my cup.
I take the cup to my lips again and gulp down everything at once, ignoring the burns I feel in my throat.
"Another!" I shout loud enough for the bartender to hear.
"Don't give it to her." A husky voice says and I turn to look at him, but my vision is blurred.
"What is your business with me?" I ask, my speech coming out slurred.
Gosh! I'm so drunk.
"Don't get drunk, a beauty like you might be taken advantage of." He replies.
"And how does that concern you?" I ask and he doesn't reply.
"Get me my normal." He says to the bartender and he returns with a cup containing something I can't see well as a result of my blurred vision.
"What's your name?" He asks.
"Flower." I answer and he laughs as I blink rapidly to clear my vision.
"You can stop staring at me now, I know I'm hot but you don't have to stare." He says and I can picture him smirking.
"Idiot." I mumble and move my hand to take his cup.
He grabs my hand before I can take it and his face becomes clear.
He's hot!
His lips are pink begging to be kissed. he has a dark hair matching with his eyes and his....
"First, I heard what you just called me. Secondly, drinking doesn't solve your problem.
I'm a stranger, you can tell me all. Moreover, you won't see me again after tonight." He says and I narrow my eyes at him.
If I tell him, I might feel relieved. It's not easy to get that asshole off my mind.
"My asshole of a boyfriend cheated on me." I say.
"Only a dumb boyfriend would cheat on you." he replies
"No, he's right to cheat on me. I'm not meant to be loved. You see my dad is an asshole and my mom, she's always drunk. She has no time for me, except for the days I'm being expelled."
"Expelled?" He asks and I nod.
"Yeah, my best friend brought the idea up. I need a good life away from my parents, so we planned to break some rules to get on my mom's nerve so I can be sent out." I say and finish up the rest of the liquid.
"Oh!"
"Yes and my asshole of a boyfriend, he kissed another girl right in front of me, the asshole didn't even feel guilty. You won't imagine that he asked her if she knew me." I say and move my hand to my lips.
"Maybe you aren't a good kisser." He says.
"Who said so?" Burp. "I..." Burp. "Can kiss…" Burp. "I will show you." Burp.
"How do you want…” I cut off his statement by locking his lips with mine.
He's shocked at first, but then he returns it and everything becomes dark.
