Emily's Dress

Aria's Dress

Amelia's Dress
"Damn girl you are going to look so sexy!" Emily giggles nervously at Amelia's words. We agreed we could make this even more exciting by letting each other choose our outfits. I choose Amelia's, Amelia chooses Emily's, and Emily chooses mine. We've got till about 11 tonight to sneak out so we have plenty of time to choose these outfits.
Amelia finally settles on a short white dress for Emily with sparkly strings at the end. She grabs a chain necklace and some nude heels. I grab a silver long sleeve dress with a low neckline to compliment her chest and some 4-inch clear pumps. Emily pulls out a sexy black romper-like outfit for me. The skirt is just elastic strings flowing down to my knee. She hands me a diamond choker to compliment the outfit, and three inch black heels.
Amelia finishes straightening her hair as me and Emily touch up our makeup. I feel the excitement in me bubble up ready to explode. Of course, I've snuck out many times before, but the risk of getting caught breaking Vincenzo's rules brings me a different kind of rush.
"Shhhh, guys shhhh." I wobble on my heels and Amelia wraps her long arms around my shoulders. I can't remember the last time I've been this dressed up. I can already tell tonight is going to be a good night.
We giggle, high on the rush of being rebellious when grey sweatpants stop us in our tracks. Tony looks tired and confused as he takes in our appearances. He glances at all three of us but when he looks at Emily his jaw drops, "W-where you off to?"
"Out," Amelia shrugs not caring much if we get caught which makes me even more nervous.
He looks back at Emily skeptically, "And you're supposed to be going out looking like that?"
"Don't remember needing permission to live my life." She pops out her hip causing her dress to hike up a bit more making Tony gulp.
"And you?" His hazel eyes look at me wearily, "Vincenzo's cool with you like... that?"
Emily steps in front of me as if a blanket shielding me from my nightmares, "She already told Vincenzo she was hanging out with us. Not that it's any of your business."
"Watch your attitude Emily. It might get you into some trouble one of these days." His tone comes out stiffer than I've ever heard him speak. Even I want to bow my head a bit at the dominance he emmits. Emily shuts her mouth and a slight tint arises to her cheeks. I wonder if they ever had a history. If so, why the heck did he end up with a bitch like Gabriella after?
The club is already filled with dancing, drunk bodies but it's not as crowded as I would have expected. They really were keeping the line waiting, but once Emily showed up the bodyguard let us right in.
"Alright, first part of business, shots!" Amelia waltzes to the bar as if she owns the place with Emily and I following her trail. The burn of alcohol slides down my throat making my body slowly heat with a newfound adrenaline. We take two more before making our way to the dance floor.
The song isn't familiar to me but my hips sway to the beat as if I've danced to this song for years. For once it's just me and my two best friends, no worries of my father's expectations or Nico's and even Vincenzo's. My life dissipates and all that matters is the moment I'm in currently.
"Haven't seen you girls around here before." The bartender chuckles as I take another shot like it's nothing.
"I guess you could say I'm new to town." I smile at him as he makes me another drink. I can feel the sweat dripping off me which would normally bother me, but the fan from the bar helps so I get cozy on a bar stool. "Is it normally so hot?"
The blue-eyed bartender only shrugs and slides my second cranberry margarita towards me, "Well boss likes to keep the AC low so they'll be compelled to buy more drinks. Somehow it works."
"Smart boss," I tip my glass towards the bartender and try to read his name tag. I guess he can see my struggle because he finally laughs and introduces himself.
"Jason," We shake hands making me giggle at the formality. He seems extra friendly for a bartender, but not in a disgusting cocky way.
"So where did your friends go? You really shouldn't drift too far from them, you all seem like troublemakers if left unsupervised." Wow well he read us like an open book.
As if on que Emily jumps onto my back with a happy scream, "There you are! I found Amelia but she already made some friends." She winks making me roll my eyes and laugh. Good for her for enjoying the night!
"There's something I wanted to show you! Follow me!" She yanks me away from my seat and we make our way down a vacant and slightly hidden hallway. The blaring music from the club slowly fades away and I feel like I'm entering a new world.
Black double doors stand between us and whatever Emily wanted me to see. Excitement and anticipation fills me as Emily does a happy dance, "I wasn't sure if we'd be able to come over here, but since Amelia is busy maybe we could take a quick stop. Your mind will be blown!"
As Emily punches in the code, black and red fills my vision and "Arsonist's Lullaby" fills my ears. Men sit in booths with their partners at their feet. Some walk past us with their partners tightly on a leash and my body fills with tingles. I never thought I'd step foot in a BDSM club in my life.
Before we can think about stepping further into the club room, my phone rings from my pocket, "Heyyy girlies! Where'd ya go? I think it's probsss time to head home. You know? Before the beast awakens."
I look at the clock on my phone: 1:57. Shoot, it's late... well early. I nod then remember Amelia can't see me, "Yeah we'll meet you up front?"
