A Summer Thrill

Chapter 14

Victoria

We all had separate rooms, I was feeling afraid of not seeing Zara or Leah for the entire night but I tried to reassure myself that they're sleeping in the next rooms. The room that I was showed to was enough to put my own bedroom to shame. It was enormous, with bare white walls, long velvety curtains, a big king size bed in the centre of the room with a nightstand on it's side and lastly, a huge floor to ceiling window.

I walked towards the bed and sat down. Tonight did not go well as I had thought, I wanted to cry for some reason but I reminded myself that I had to stay strong and get through the night so we can leave this place and fly back home as soon as possible. The python gang? An actual gang?! I chuckled to myself.

Out of all the most dangerous people that I had to meet for the first time in my life, I was trapped in a house that belongs to a gang that calls themselves the Python! Although they don't look that dangerous to me but the way they handled us tonight makes the hairs on my skin to stand on edge. Especially when their leader is speaking.

JB

I had never met someone like him before. The way he talks immediately gives people the idea that he's the one in control. And the way he stares at people, Jesus if looks can kill, he can easily slaughter anyone when he's giving people that scary look. I have to admit, he is hot when he does all that but right now it's not the time for me to be thinking about anything that relates to how attractive he is. I wanted to call my parents because I'm worried sick that they might think that something happened to us because I haven't spoken to them in a while now, but unfortunately that guy Alan had taken all our phones.

Suddenly a weird feeling rushed throughout my whole body, making me feel like as if all my energy had been drained out of me and I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. A yawn escaped my lips and I slowly lay back on the bed and closed my eyes. Sleep was already catching up with me and I had no choice but to let myself rest so that I can be ready for whatever is gonna happen tomorrow.

OoO

I stirred up awake when I felt the sunlight seeping past the curtains landed on my eyelids, I groaned and slowly sat up and scratched my head. When my eyes finally adjusted around my surroundings, I nearly had a heart attack when I didn't recognize the room and didn't remember where I was at the moment. I finally calmed myself down and went through all the events from yesterday, in my head.

I feel sticky and disgusting and my dress is starting to cling onto my body, I can't wait to get back to our hotel room and take a long hot shower. A knock came from the door and I looked up and saw Steve standing by the doorway after opening the door by himself.

"Ready to go?" I nodded and quickly got out of bed and pulled my dress down.

I followed him out of the room and Leah and Zara joined me by my side as we proceeded to walk through the hallway in silence, while Steve was only leading us to god knows where. I just hope he's taking us back, that's all I've been hoping for lately.

We walked down the stairs and I finally got a good look around the place. The house is not only enormous on the outside but the inside as well. Crystal chandeliers hangs above the ceiling reflected by the sunlight filtering the room, huge windows overlooks the background outside, there were also people walking around and I could only guess that they work here. Not only that, a few huge bulky guys were roaming around the house with huge guns in their hands, guarding and looking alert in their walking position.

After descending the staircase, Steve led us straight outside the house where we found a black SUV parked right outside and JB and Alan were already waiting. JB shot me a stern glare and I quickly looked away hoping he would stop looking at me like that. The way he's been looking at me lately, not only makes me feel afraid but also makes my heart flutter for no reason.

"The driver will take you straight to your hotel, whatever happened last night never happened okay? You girls just went out for a few drinks and you all spend the night at a friends house named Susan. You were never at Young & Restless, and you never knew what happened there. That's your alibi for now, if anyone started asking questions but i doubt that will happen because we took care of the rest, right Alan?"

Alan briefly looked up while twirling a switch blade around in his hand. He flashed us a smile and nod his head while walking towards us and giving us our phones and things back.

"Took care of it already." He said with a smug look on his face.

"Can we leave now?" JB stepped towards me and his eyes locked with mine.

"You got every single word, Victoria?" The way he said my name made goosebumps erupt all over my skin.

Get a grip Victoria, he's dangerous.

"I got it." I mentally slapped myself when my voice sounded so small.

"Good, now leave. For real this time, and we hope that we don't ever meet again."

Likewise asshole. I glared at him and then walked past him and get into the car. When we're all inside the vehicle, the driver started the car and then drives away from the house. I didn't know what made me do it but I just did it anyway. I looked back.

And there he was, standing in his all powerful glory watching us leave with a blank expression on his face. But during that very same moment, our eyes locked again for a few brief seconds and then he smiled.
