Battles In Life

2

"I'm going to the rest room" "okay be safe we know what this club is like" "I can handle people Lochie" "I know".
I could see the female toilet door from the booth, myself, my best mate christian and Natalie are sitting at. I usually don't go to a club like this, I'm a well known and the paparazzi can be anywhere but christian was already here. "Will she be good on her own?" "Yeah I will still keep an eye on her though".
Seeing a woman about five seven with long brown lightly curled hair walk in the direction of the toilet, I couldn't take my eyes away from her, her body was gorgeous. I didn't catch a look at her face only her back. She took her place in the line just after natalie pressing herself against the wall. By watching her, i could tell she wasn't a woman that should be in a place like this.
Watching a guy approach her he grabbed her arm "you good Lochie" "yeah just watching natalie" "what is that guy doing?" "I don't know but it doesn't look like she wants him near her" seeing my sister say a few words, I could tell she was not happy as this guy continued to hold the light haired woman. Natalie instantly grabbed the guy from the other female and he slapped her. "I will be back". The female whom is unknown to me, dropped to the ground and curled herself in a ball against the wall, while Natalie had kicked the guy in the head then punched him "you bitch" "natalie what is going on?" "I have it handled Lochie".
Turning my attention to the woman on the floor I bent down in front of her
"Are you okay?" "no I want to go home" seeing her look up at me her eyes instantly captivated me. Her eyes were piercing green and the rest of her face was just as beautiful. It was an instant reaction that I wanted to pull her to me and hold her to comfort her. As I put my hand towards her she spoke in such a soft tone "Please.. don't" "I just want to make sure you are okay" "I'm.. I'm gonna go" "I can take you" "no.. no I will be fine" "I insist, you can't go on your own" she just shook her head "no thanks" "let me help you up".
"Dana what are you doing? Why are you sitting on the ground come back and join us, This is not the way you can get a man, the reason I brought you out" I shook my head "I didnt want to come I told you that" "you need to get out of that house and have fun" "no I don't". Looking at this female behind me she was tall and just skinny, way too skinny for my liking. Had a face caked in make up and wearing basically nothing. Is this supposed to be her friend? it didn't seem like she cared at all.
"No offense but it seems you do not care about your friend she was just harassed by a male in this club and all you want her to do is find a male" "come on dana let's go back and drink" dana a beautiful name for a gorgeous woman. "no I am going home I don't like this place" "dana". "Dana is it?" She nodded "dana would you feel okay if my sister took you home?" "No.. no I.." "dana it's okay" dana gave her attention to natalie "you.. you were the one that got that man off of me?" "Yes my name is Natalie I am lochies sister" "I'm.. I'm sorry" "don't be some men can be pigs". Dana lifted herself up but kept her back against the wall. "come on dana" "no I am going home. This is not me".
"Thank you.. for ahh what you did for me natalie" "it's okay" dana nodded then walked away.
"Are you her friend?" "Yes I am, I'm callie" I looked her up and down in disgust. "If you are her friend then why did you just let her walk off on her own" "oh she will be fine" callie just waved her hand in the air with a smile on her face as I just shook my head. "Natalie I am going to go find dana and see if she gets home okay" "okay Lochie" "oh I knew it was you, do you want to.." "NO I do not want to do anything but find dana and get her home safe" "she needs a good night, I'm sure you can give it to her". What kind of friend is that? I don't get it, dana does not seem like the type of person to be out in a club, I could already see that.
Walking outside dana was walking down the path. she looked to be walking as fast as her legs could take her. Running up to her I stopped in front of her. "Dana" "no.. no please I just want to.. I want to go home" "hey its okay, I'm not here to hurt you or do anything to you, but I just want to make sure you get home safe" dana kept her head down and I was disappointed, I wanted to see her piercing green eyes looking at me. "Dana, will you let me walk you home?" Dana shook her head "I.. I don't know you" "you don't know who I am?" Dana shook her head "I'm..I'm sorry am I supposed to?" "There's no need to be sorry, it's just most people do know me" dana nodded "let me at least walk you most of the way" "o.. okay".
She seems to stutter a lot, I'm not sure why but she spoke to callie just fine.
"I'm Lochie" dana nodded "Natalie's brother?" "Yes".
"Are you feeling okay after what happened?" "Shaken" "I can see that, you are shaking" "no.. no thats just me.. I .. dont get out a lot" I nodded not that she was looking at me. "Then why did you go to a club?" "I... Ahh.. I was forced. I like to be at home" "anxiety?" Dana nodded "I.. I don't socialize well" "that's okay, everyone has their own problems. I'm not going to judge you because of it" dana nodded. "You.. you don't need to.. ahh.. walk me" "I'd like to make sure you get home safe that is all" "thank you". Continuing to walk beside dana, I'm glad I chose to walk her home, there is a lot of people out tonight.
"How old are you dana?" "Twenty three" I would never have guessed she was twenty three she looks younger I'd say about nineteen/twenty. "I would never have pictured you to be twenty three" "why?" "You look younger" dana shrugged "I.. I like to look after myself" "that's great, everyone should. Do you work?" "Yes.. I ahh.. I work from home" "what do you do?" "I'm a computer technician" smart and beautiful woman and she just hides herself away but I know what anxiety can do to people.
Dana stopped walking and for the first time since we left the club she turned and faced me "we.. we aren't far from my ahh..my place.. you can ahh..go back to your night out" "It's okay dana my night has only got better meeting you" dana nodded "okay.. thanks Lochie". Continuing to walk, I'm surprised dana actually let me walk with her but she didn't tell me to stop.
"Your friend.." Dana shook her head "she.. she doesn't understand" "I'm sorry dana but people like her only care about themselves" dana surprised me by nodding "yes I know" "then why do you let her be in your life?" "I.. I have known her for quite some time" "that is definitely not a good reason to keep her in your life. Friends are supposed to help" "I.. I know.. I have learnt my lesson".
"will you be okay?" "Yeah.. when I get inside" "do you not venture out at all?" "Sometimes" "how often?" "Maybe hmm maybe once a week or two" dana stopped "this.. this Is where I live" I showed her a gentle smile "thank.. thank you for ahh for walking me home" "it's my pleasure dana, I'd love to see you again one day" dana looked into my eyes, her piercing eyes just staring into mine and I couldn't look away. "I.. I dont think that.. it would be a good idea Lochie" "I dont expect you to go out to a club or anything, maybe just coffee, if you drink it" dana nodded "maybe" "can I get your number?" "O..okay" "here" I handed her my phone and she typed in her number. "Will.. will you be okay walking back?" "I will be fine dana, take care okay" "thank you". Dana walked up her front steps and opened the door "good bye Lochie" "bye dana".

Dana is absolutely gorgeous I don't care if she has anxiety, I want to help her work through it. I can already tell that woman has a heart of gold and I haven't even got to know her that well yet, but I hope I do.
Walking back to temptation, I couldnt get dana out of my mind. her piercing green eyes, straight nose and soft pink bow lips were all I could see.

"Lochie did you walk dana home?" "Yes she doesn't live too far" "how is she doing?" "Shes, shes okay. She said she will be fine when she is inside her home" "she didn't look like a woman who would like a place like this" "no far from it, she was forced by her caring friend" "hmm piece of work that one, she's over on the dance floor grinding up against some guy" I turned to look and shook my head "disgusting, how could she just bring her here and not care" "some people only care about themselves" "yeah".
