Keifer's POV
I'm seeing the ceiling for fifteen minutes. My mind blank. Only thing I'm remember the name Ethan. Still it's stings. A old but non revived scar is there always, some questions were not answered. I was lost in my thoughts.....
Buzzzz...buzzzz....
My phone buzzed. I took it out from pocket. A bubble on messenger.
Hey! When you are coming? First massage from Marco.
I suddenly remembered I have to go. Today is the celebration night. Fuck off all the thoughts, let's party hard!
Quickly entered into shower. Removed my shirt. I'm observing my bare upper body. I'm always confident about my appearance. I'm sure no woman can't resist this look , I can have anyone in my life, my appearance is enough for that and the plus point is my Surname which alone carrying an aura in half of the world. But the woman!!!! They all are same. They only want wealth or something else that restraint them to be loyal. Nothing is there called Love.
I quickly took shower, went to my walk-in wardrobe. White tshirt with a black denim jacket & black denim pant. Put on my white sneakers. Grab the keys. Went outside.
I parked my car outside the bar. It's a Bar cum Restaurant. I looked at my watch. It's 8:15. As soon as I go inside , the loud music buzzed in my ear. Ignoring the music I searched for them, few minutes later I saw Loid and go ahead. I reached the table. Everyone one is there except one. I settled down in one chair. Loid and Martha whispering, others are chattering. Then Mike questioned
"Hey Loid where is your other friend?"
"She is on the parking! Will be here in few minutes." Martha answered instead.
Mike nodded.
At the same time I saw a familiar figure, by the time it comes closer I remembered it, she is Jules. But why my heart is racing? I don't want to put my life my in a loop! But I can't help it , my eyes are checking out her frequently. Okay I accept she is looking hot or sexy to be exact. OK OK. The black short bodycon dress with thin straps hugging her curves perfectly which making her a centre of attract attraction! I'm sure every boy in the club is now drooling over her, but yes her confidence! She seems don't Care. She seamlessly walk with her heels, pulled a chair, sit there like she own the place.
"You are breathtaking girlll!" Martha exclaimed first.
Jules just smirked. Her glossy lips are actually appealing.
Iknow dear!" She answered.
"Why are all sitting like that? Alcohol should flow tonight! Don't spoil the mood. "
Again she exclaimed!
Then order passed.
Jules POV
I reached the bar, parked the car. Massaged to Martha. When I entered the club, the noise hit first with smell of alcohol. That's the things. After the university survival, I need alcohol dose. I searched for them, then I saw them settled on a table. As I move forward, Keifer's gaze is scanning me, I could feel a stomach flip! OK OK get a grip! He is just an another man who admires my beauty. I settled down and craved for alcohol. The order passed.
Started with light. We cheered up beer bottols. Sip in. OK now feeling alive.
Suddenly a boy with glasses speak up. We looked at him.
"Let's introduce again ourselves. We are classmates. We should know about ourselves. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
He introduced himself.
"I'm Daniel Carter. Hobby IT program. Nickname Dan."
Then a boy beside Daniel said ," I'm Joseph Brown. Hobby IT program. Nickname Josh."
Martha said, "Your name similar to Jules. She is Josephine and you are Joseph. "
The introduction goes on.
A grey eyed boy spoke up. "I'm Christian Anderson. Hobby playing guitar. No such nickname. "
Then it comes to the boys I collided in the morning. One of them speak up.
"I'm Mike Collins. And He is my twin Marco Collins. I'm mainly a troublemaker. "
Marco spoke, "And I'm the peace keeper."
Everyone laughed.
Then we looked at the calm boy , sipping his beer calmly and observing others. He speak up
"I'm David Miller. I'm fond of writing and novels."
Everyone nodded. Then it comes to Loid.
I'm Loid Washington. And I love messing with these witches. Pointing at me and Martha. And got a playful punch from Martha instantly. "
Then Martha speaks
"I'm Martha Bennett. I love punching troublemakers like before and hangout with Jules. "
Then it comes to me. I sipped my beer.
"I'm Josephine Anastasia Laurent. Aka Jules. Hobby Car racing."
Everyone shocked for a second. Then they turned their gaze towards Keifer. Then again at me. Including Loid. Martha and I looked completely clueless. Suddenly everyone cheered.But a deep voice intervene.
Keifer.
And I'm still clueless.
"Nothing is going to happen. His voice came out."
After a pause again everyone cheering.
But this time a loud voice cut through. Again Keifer.
"Stop!!"
Finally my patience left the chat. I speak up
"What's going on?"
Before anyone. Mike spoke up.
"We want a race between you and Keifer."
Now I understand. I looked at him, he's already staring ,sipping the beer.
My mind froze for a moment. Then I nodded. I need an adrenaline rush. Tonight will be great.
But Keifer disagreed.
"Have you any fear of loosing? " I asked.
"No. I'm worried about you. " He snapped.
My eyebrows frowed. What the hell he meant. Because I'm a girl he is said so? It got on my nerves. I postured back at the chair ,
"Let's see!"
Everyone cheered. He's forehead creased.
"OK". An angry, arrogant voice come from him.
Everyone looking pleased but Martha panicked.
"Are you sure?"
I could feel worry in her voice
"More than sure!"
I assured her.
"But before that I prefer to enjoy here first. Let's have some drink and food, break the dance floor then proceed to our next venture."
I said loudly.
Everyone agreed. Keifer looked annoyed, I enjoy.
The food served. I eat sufficient but this is the time to move to drink.
We headed towards drink section. The bartender served.
"Hey Savy my regular vodka!"
Savy smirked. Gave me a shorts glass.
Everyone shocked.
Loid explained," Relax guys! She is regular here!"
Keifer's POV
I accepted her challenge. But I felt wrong. It's not about the competition with a girl.
I don't know about the feelings. But I'm not OK with the idea of drive after drinking. And she is drinking like there's no tomorrow.
When we headed towards bar, to our surprise she already knew the bar tender. And He smirked back. I hate that. But there is no reason. He served us. But my eyes are constantly gazing at Jules's activity. She is going to be drunk, already had five pegs of strong vodka.
Now she is going to have another, my brain rushed. Instinctively my hand reached for her hand to restrict her. As soon as I reached , her balance trembled. She is going to fall but my another hand grabbed her waist, I could feel her soft frame against mine. For a second she looked at me with dizzy eyes and suddenly pushed!
Jules POV
I was having my drink. Like the rules of the night it is.
Drink. Empty. Drink. Repeat.
But suddenly a hand blocked me to drink. My balance trembled. I closed my eyes. I could feel my ass going to have a kiss from the ground, a hard one. I could see the angels. But next moment a strong hand placed on my waist, supporting my frame. I saw a face, Keifer.
My brain short- circuits. He is too close to me. His woody smell is hitting on my nerves. His face is very close lean. I can see him closely. His eyes dark,something anger and a hollowness flickering there, a sharp nose ,and his lips, o my God ! It's pink literally pink, looks edible! Ahhhhh! I hate my mind. It's to close to handle!!!!
Then a sudden memory hit.
"You don't belong here....you're a nuisance....a girl is nothing but lifetime debt....your work is only to entertain me....you can only live by pleasing us in bed...."
I couldn't control. He's also a boy holding me. No, I'm capable holding myself. I gathered my strength and pushed him.
Instant regret! My ass get a hard kiss from ground and my ankle twisted. I flinched in pain.!!!
Everyone froze.
Keifer's POV
I got surprised as she pushed me. But it's not enough she hit the floor. And a painful sound come out.
Again I reached for her. A tear dropped from her eyes, eyes flinched.
"Give me your hand. Try to stand up. "
I said softly. I don't know how. Everyone is looking.
She hold my hand. Tried to get up. But again painful sound came out instead.
"Aahhh! I guess my ankle twisted. I have to drive. Oh no!! "
She said with teary eyes. She looks adorable.
I shook my head, shrugged the thought. Instantly scooped up her up in bridal style. Headed exit.
Everyone just looked.
