Don't Forget About Me

Chapter 17

When we get back to the house we say our goodbyes to Sara’s parents. We watched them walk out and get in their car to the airport. Waving at them Sara whispers in my ear. “We are going out tonight.” I turned to her. “I think I want to stay in and try to sleep off the day.” She didn't seem to be happy with me saying that which is why what she said next didn't surprise me. 

“You are not staying in, you are coming with me and we are going to the sickest club in town.” Her look could cut through glass. I want to protest because I am still trying to get over what happened at the restaurant but she's not going to let me stay here. “Fine I'll go but only for you.” After we spent the next hour getting ready I took a look at the time. It's already nine at night, so much for having an early night. “I got a hold of some of my old friends and they are going to meet us at the club.”  I smile. “That's great, can't wait to meet them.” After I grab my shoes that I am wearing I head towards the door where Sara is. She opens the door and there is Octavious. 

“Oh my god Octavious you're here!” Sara ran to him and jumped right on him. He quickly grabbed her and held her to him while he kissed her roughly. He turned and noticed that I was still standing there. “Sorry, Hi Kelsey. Sorry about the intrusion but I want to surprise Sara.” “No problem, it's good to see you.” Without even thinking I ask my next question. 

“Did you come alone?” He looked at me with what I think are sad eyes. “Yes, just me.” I smile trying my best to make it seem like that didnt affect me. “We are going to a club, do you want to come?” I say trying to switch the subject. “Of course I would love to see what these florida people call a good club, maybe I can give them some pointers.” He looks over at Sara and smiles sweetly. I am definitely feeling some jealousy but I need to let it go. As we walk towards the car Sara gets in first and I follow but Octavious grabs my arm and whispers in my ear. 

“He misses you too.” I don't even have to know who he is because I know. I look at him and hold back the lump that's in my throat. “Thanks.” That's all I could say without choking up because how do you miss someone that has caused you so much pain. But he didn't cause that hurt, it was his father. I swear I am fighting a war in my head and it's getting to be too much. We start to drive and I look over and see Sara holding Octavious’s hand and I am so happy that she has found someone that is good for her. But there's that lump again. Push it down Kels and get over it, I try to tell myself. We pull up to the front of the club. I notice that there are not as many people outside this club like there was at Octavious’s club  but there is still a small line. 

The bouncer opens our door and lets us out. Good evening name? Octavious steps forward. “Octavious Riggs, I called ahead and talked with your owner.” The bodyguard looked at him and went back to the paper. “Yes Mr.Riggs it does seem like you are on the list. Right this way.” He motions for one of the other men to open the door and when we walk inside it's like totally different worlds. I can see why this place is called The Lost Club, it's amazing here. This place also seems twice the size as Octavious’s club. “I might have to take a few tips from this club back to mine, this is sick.” Octavious just keeps staring while Sara and I look at each other and both shake our heads because he's going to be talking about this all night now. 

“How about we go find a table?” I say to them and start walking towards one that is near the bar. “Hey Kelsey, we have a suite upstairs,the owner loves it when other club owners come and visit.” I nod my head feeling grateful that we will have somewhere quieter that we can sit and relax. We start to head up the stairs and I find myself feeling like someone is watching me and it scares me a little. I am not trying to have a repeat of the restaurant. We make it to the suite and I take a seat on the sofa. A waitress comes in and takes our drink order and leaves. 

Sara and Octavious are talking on the other side of the sofa which is fine for them but making me feel even more like a third wheel. I get up and go to the ledge and look over at the people dancing. I don't know what I am looking for but I keep staring down. The waitress comes back with our drinks and has three shots too. “I don't think we ordered those.” The waitress smiles at me as she puts the drinks on the table. “They were ordered for you guys from the owner as a thank you for coming tonight.” Octavious was the first one up and over to the table. 

“Thank you Mr. Owner.” He says as he takes his shot back. Sara comes up behind him and grabs hers. “Cheers Kelsey!” I grab mine and cheer with her and watch her take hers back. “Fuck it.” I say as I toss the cold liquid back. It literally felt like I was swallowing razors. Why do people drink this shit? I grab my drink and chase it down. “I think I am going to go dance.” I say as I motion to the floor. 

“Ok, we will be down in a little bit.” She turns to Octavious and gives him that seductive look. And on that note I start for the stairs. When I get to the floor I start to move my hips and make my way into the middle of the floor. There are so many people moving and swaying at the same time, it's hard not to bump into someone. I slowly put my hands up in the air and move my hips. I let the music take me whole and I close my eyes. All of a sudden I feel something hard pressing against me. I tense up a little but don't want to panic because there are a lot of people here. 

I keep dancing when strong hands come around my waist to pull me closer. I keep moving my hips and start to grind on this mystery person. I would be lying if I said this isn't turning me on slightly. I go to reach my hand behind me and wrap it on his neck. He moves his mouth down to my neck and places a soft nibble on it. Bolts of energy shoot through me and I start to move a little faster with the beat. 

“Fuck you look sexy tonight and you taste so good.”  I hear the voice and am trying to figure out if my mind is playing tricks on me. When I go to turn he stops me and it makes me nervous. I try to turn again and this time he lets me. When I see those piercing blue eyes I hold my breath for a second. “Hey baby.” He says in a low, rough voice that I can barely hear with the music. He grabs my hips and starts to move us again, to be honest I didn't even know I stopped. 

I put my hands up around his neck and pulled him down to my mouth. He hesitates at first but then falls to me. I don't care if I will regret this or not, I just need him with me. His mouth is a mixture of mint and alcohol. He pushed his tongue in my mouth testing me and I responded by pushing back. I cannot get enough of what he is giving me. He reaches down and grabs my ass and gives it a squeeze which makes me let out a little moan into his mouth. He pauses and stares down at me. “What are you doing to me?” He asked while running his tongue on my neck. I move my hands to his hard chest and I can't do anything but think about how he looks without his shirt. I'm done for. 

“I think we should take this somewhere else.” I look up at him and I see the same fire that I am feeling. I start to go towards the door. “I'm assuming that you drove here?” I asked him as I took my phone out to text Sara. When we get outside the guards look at Os and hurry to get his car. I tell Sara that I am taking an Uber back to her parents because I am not feeling well even though I know she will find out about Os. One of the Valet’s walks out of the driverside of his car and smiles. Os pulls out a fifty dollar bill and gives it to him. 

“Have a good night Carl” The valet smiled. “Thanks so much boss, hope to see you soon!” Os gives him a small smile and opens my door. After he gets in I turn to him. “Have you been here before?” He turned his head and leaned in and gave me the sweetest kiss. “I own this club.” Of course he does and that's how we got in so easy. I shake my head and look out the window as we start to move. I give him Sara’s parents address and he punches it into his gps. Os reaches over and puts his hand on my knee and starts to rub and it brings this calming feeling to me. I take a breath and close my eyes and enjoy the ride.
