little number nine

Willow & Jack

Lou opened the door and I got hit by the loud music streaming out. We walked inside and there were full off people dancing and singing. Some people near us looked at Lou and nodded, making her seem well respected. She nodded back to some of them and tightened her grip around my hand. She walked me over to the bar and one of the bartenders greeted her right away, "Hey Lou. What's up?" "Hey Kai!"

She looked at me and said to Kai, "Listen, this one's with me. Her name is Delia and I want you to keep and eye on her while I go deal with some stuff downstairs." He nodded and she continued, "I need you to make sure nothing happens to her and that she doesn't drink to much, alright?" "Of course." he just awnserd. "And she can't leave this building without me, do you understand?" "Yes, she stays here." Lou nodded before she turned to me and grabbed my face.

"If anything, and I mean anything that you're not comfortable with happens, you let me know." I nodded and she moved her hands from my face and reached out one of them, "Your phone." I looked at her confused as I unlocked it and handed it over. She took it and started typing. She handed it back and said "My number. Call me anytime." "Oh, alright. Thanks." I said as I put the phone back in my pocket. She looked me in the eyes and said "I have some shit to deal with, so I'll leave you for a little while if that's alright." I smiled at her and replied "Of course. I'll see you later?" She nodded and gave me a little kiss before she marched away.

I looked up to the bartender named Kai who smiled at me. "Do you want anything to drink?" he kindly asked. "Uh yeah. Just a margarita please." "Coming right up!" I chucked a bit and sat down on one of the stools. Just a moment after someone sat down on a stool next to me. I turned around and saw a blonde girl with blue eyes smiling at me. "Hi!" She said and observed me. I smiled back and said "Hey. What's up?" "Oh I'm taking a little dance break." She said and giggled. "Oh, nice. Um, what's your name?" I asked. "Willow, you?" "That's such a pretty name! I'm Delia." "No stop it your name is super cute!" she said and we shared a laugh. "So how old are you?" she continued. "I'm 23, what about you?" "Oh I'm 24" "Cool. Do you live here in New York?" She brushed her hands trough her hair as she spoke, "Yeah I do. But I moved here recently." I chuckled and said "No way! Me too." "Damn! Now we just need to become friends!" she laughed and bumped me with her arm. I chucked and awnserd "Oh definitely!"

The bartender approached us again and put the drink in front of me, "One margarita." I smiled and he turned to Willow, "Anything for you?" She thought for a moment before she awnserd, "Can I just have a lemonade?" she said and laughed a bit. "Sure." He said and turned around. Willow turned back to me and asked "So, do you have any friends here?" "Uh, well... I'm living with my aunt and her friends for the moment so I know a few people. You?" "I moved here with my friend Jack, he's over there on the dance floor..." she pointed while speaking, "He's the tall brunette one in the middle." I thought I saw him so I said "Oh yeah. Do you live together or..?" "Yeah, we share an apartment." As she answered Kai delivered her drink and she thanked him before we continued our conversation.

I gave her a look she understood right away. "Oh no! We're not together or anything. I mean I only like him as a friend." I chuckled a but and said in a jokingly way "Are you sure?" She laughed and awnserd "Well I'm asexual and aromantic so I basically only like food." We laughed and I raised my drink, "To food!" She laughed and did the same, "To really good fucking food!" and put her class against mine. We took a sip and laughed a bit.

After I had talked to Willow for a while someone interrupted us. A tall guy with brown fluffy hair walked up to us and said "Hey, Willie! Do you wanna go out a bit, I need a smoke." She answered "Sure." and then looked at me "If it's okey with you of course?" I was just about to awnser her when the brunette looked at me and said "Oh sorry. I'm Jack Singh." he said and reached out his hand. I took it and said "Delia Ocean." while shaking it. We let go and Willow quickly said "Oh shit, I didn't tell you my last name, Hart." She smiled to herself as she continued "Willow Hart." In a James Bond kind of way. Jack chuckled a bit and looked to me "Wanna head out for a cigarette?" I gazed over to Kai who looked back at me with a strict face. "No, I'll just stay here. But go ahead you two!" Willow looked at me and asked "You sure?" "Yes. Just go!" I said with a laugh. She smiled at me and they both walked off.

I decided to get up and dance for a few minutes before they came back. After a little while I got back to sit down by Kai, and just a moment after they crashed down on beside me, Willow on my right and Jack on my left. He looked to me and asked "Is it okey if I sit here?" I smiled and said "Absolutely!" Willow tapped me on my shoulder and said "Hey, can I add you on like Instagram or something? So we can maby hang out some day if you want to." "Oh yeah! Of course!" I awnserd and gave her my Instagram. She smiled while typing it in on her phone. "There, added." I chuckled a bit and Jack said "What did you say it was? I can't find you..." while looking confused at his phone. "Here, I'll just write it for you." I said and he gave me his phone. I added my account and gave it back. I took my phone out and added them back, but then I got a message.

It was Lou, "I'll come up in a couple of minutes and we'll leave then, if that's OK?" I replied saying "Sure. See you soon:)" After a few seconds I got an ";)" back. I smiled at the phone and closed it. "Hey..." I said to get Willow and Jack's attention, "I'm leaving in a few minutes." Willow looked up with big eyes and said "Wanna do shots?" I looked at Jack who nodded and then shouted "Kai! Three shots of whatever!" He laughed and got the glasses, poured them up and gave them to us. We all held them up and Willow said "To even more food!" I laughed and Jack said in a chuckle "What?" I looked at him and laughed "Just drink!" and we did.

A few minutes after that I saw Lou walking over to us. "Hey Delia, everything alright?" "Yes." I replied and looked at my new friends "This is Willow and Jack." She smiled at them and said "Pleasure." Lou waved over Kai and said "I'm playing for these kids." and pointed to Jack and Willow who thanked her. She looked back at me and said "Shall we go?" "Oh alright." I said goodbye to everyone and walked out with Lou. "Did you have fun?" I smiled and awnserd with a pleased hum.
