<Angela's POV>

The place I went was some random club that was the furthest from Mike's house. I really went to a random club in a foreign country at 12am, I think I am a genius... I had 4 glasses of whiskey and currently I was sitting on the staircase on the 3rd floor just outside the club to breath air. I just can't suppress my thoughts; everything was great before Xander came here. I left to go here on a range of emotions, that is why I did not take any phone with me; thus, I can't even call a cab... smart? Of course, because if my gut tells me right, I think I will definitely hate myself for not bringing it later...

After sitting and drinking my whiskey in here, I decided I need to fill my glass so I decided to go back to the bar... just as I stood up I heard 3 men downstairs... 2 of them were talking Spanish, I didn't understand hardly any word, but one I suppose was English speaker, so they tried to translate info for him, meaning I heard and understood all they said to him... but now, I hoped I didn't hear what I did...

"Boss will kill us if we don't find her, ¿estas loco?" one hissed to another one, "No, but we already searched the club the girl is nowhere to find! This was el último club! Maybe she is somewhere else?" the second one said, checking his phone..."Mierda! It's boss!", the man cursed answering the phone... "No boss, the girl is not here either, we checked even the woman's toilet - I think she went somewhere else, don't worry it is foreign country for her, she probably is somewhere close, this club was way too far anyways..." Man said on the phone. "Y-yes... s-sorry boss, we will find here I swear! W-we are on our way now." Man continued, looking scared. Then he put his phone in his back pocket and turned to the other 2 men... "The second team didn't find anything either, the boss is furious... we need to find Angela before he gets to us, let's go!" .... the moment that man said the name, I understood they were talking about myself - foreign country, club, name... their boss is searching me... but... who the boss is? I seriously doubt it is my uncle. He would not know I left...

When those men drove off, I instantly knew I needed to save my ass as soon as possible... so... I went back to the club, tricked some horny man into landing me his phone and called a taxi... I drove back home. Even if I have to see that asshole again, it will be better than getting killed, I rather have Mike on my side...

When I arrived home I quickly ran into the house and straight to the stairs. Midway to my room, I heard Mike yelling on the phone. Just when I wanted to go to my room unrevealed of mystate his doors, that were at the end of the corridor suddenly opened with force and he was walking in my direction in a strange way, but not looking at me... then... our eyes met, he stopped right away, stiffened and whoever was on the phone with him was still speaking, but by the looks on his face he didn't hear him, he just sights still looking at me in disbelief and says "Stop everything, I will call back in 5" And without breaking eye contact he hanged up the caller... "Where were you?" He asked looking at me... "I... ammm... why aren't you sleeping?" I tried to change the subject, but failed miserably... because when he came closer to me "Why do you smell like alcohol? Where did you go?" He asked again... I looked down... "Angela... I will ask you last time... where were you, it is fucking 3 am?" he said, holding my chin up so I can look into his eyes... those eyes were dark... he was really serious right now... "I-I wanted to celebrate our now tomorrow's marriage" I say now hanging on his neck... he wasn't convinced, I saw by his eyes... "Oh, really, you know... I am thinking... if that is what you really celebrated you can celebrate it with me..." he picked me up by my thighs... he never did something like that before..."M-Mike...wh- " I started, but he interrupted, "which club you went to?" he asked, kind of whispering in my ear... "D-don't remember the name, but it was a 30 minute drive from here" I answered, and I swear I saw his jaw clench, also I felt his grip on my thigh harden... now I am scared... that isn't the Mike I know, why is he like this? Actually... maybe it is my imagination, I did drink before, I think I am getting crazy... but then he pressed my back on the wall... what the hell?... "You should go to sleep... it is hard to keep my hands to myself, when you look at me with that face of yours." he said, "with those beautiful eyes that change colours almost every day... with those...lips..." his gaze landed on my lips... but before he did something my drunk state couldn't repulse, the doors, opposite to mine opened, revealing half naked Xander...

Before I most definitely didn't want to see him, but he just saved my awkward future... although, by his eyes I just realised what he might think... However, if I think rightly, in his eyes we are almost married, nothing I do is considered wrong... yet his face makes me smirk, I think I just hurt him, revenge for earlier is sweet. With that I pushed Mike back and went to my room... "Oh, did I walk in the wrong time, were you making up the argument?" Xander asked, with his fake acting... "Why do you think we argued?" I asked with a questioning look, "Oh, you want to tell me you two are sleeping in different rooms if you are madly in love?" He asked smirking at me... fuck, my drunk mind did not think of that... "Don't worry mate, she won't be leaving my room after the night we get married... She has 2 last nights before tasting the marriage." Mike said winking to Xander, but then... to me... and in this drunk state I have no idea if that was his perfect acting, or was it for real, but knowing Mike, it is probably the first option, so I smiled at him and closed the doors, leaving those two in that corridor. Then I let the sleep take over me...
