Outsider - Book Two

Chapter 4

'ID!' The bouncer asked. Cece passed him a fake ID. After the whole conversation with Giovanni she had formed a new plan.
She couldn't exactly walk right up to one of the Ramos brothers. Not looking the way she did at least, they had already seen her with her long brown hair. That had to change.

So, she had cut her hair and dyed it a fairy pink colour. Cutting her length all the way up to her ears. It would be crazy if they recognised her now.
She had done up her make-up and put on a cute strapless, yellow, leather dress. Matching with her favourite ballerina heels.

'Go on!' The bouncer snapped her photo. On her ID she was known as Katie Ling.

See if they find her now!

Cece paid for entry and walked inside. There was a staircase going right down, she followed the people in front of her. Finally she turned right and made it to the bottom of the stairs. Right across the entry stairs was another one going up, probably to staff only section.

To the right was a VIP sitting area, there was a big thick hallway going left. She walked down it.
A bar area on the right side of the hallway and beside that - the bathrooms. Across the hall from the bathrooms was a U shaped lounge area. People sitting around, making out and just chatting with friends.

She kept walking down the hall.

Another room on the right beside the bathrooms with the words Office on the door and across from that was the DJ booth.

Finally she was on the dancefloor. It was packed, people dancing and grinding up against each other. At the very back of the hall was a stage.
Girls were dancing together up on it, surely someone would soon fall and break something. She cased the place, finding every emergency exit and whatever she could. Just in case she needed an escape route.

After bumping into every person on the floor she headed back through the club to find a drink.
Waiting in line was a bitch but she managed to reach the bar.
'Can I get...' What do drunk white girls get again? 'Vodka soda please!' She battered her eyes.

'Damn, nice dress.' She spun around. A guy with brown hair stared back. She had seen him before but she couldn't remember from where exactly.
'Thanks, it's super cute!' Cece's approach was just to play dumb to blend in.

'I can see that. I'm Cody.' He winked.

Cody? Shit, that worked out perfectly. Cece recognised the name instantly. Maybe luck was on her side.
She'd Cody around Julian before. That's why he'd looked so familiar.

'Here you go.' Bartender spoke to her. She payed for the drink and walked back over to Cody.

'So where are your friends?' He asked her.
'I came alone.' She bit her lip, trying to stir up some emotions.
'You should come hang with me and my friends tonight! In the VIP!' He spoke. Well, this couldn't get any fucking better.

'That's so cool. Are you like famous or something?' She asked.
'Something.' He winked at her. She grabbed his hand and he lead her away from the bar and over to the VIP.

Cody nodded to the security there who let them pass. The VIP was a big rectangle section with three long lounges. One on the left and right and one in the middle. Looking right down all the way to the stage at the very other end of the club.

'Who's this?' Julian asked.
'What was your name again?'
'I'm Katie.' She squealed, trying to change from the voice she had used last time she was around them.

'This is Julian. And this is Kaden, Gabriel and Ezra. Oh and that is Brice, steer from him he just got out of prison like a week ago.' He joked.
'Shut up!' Brice yelled at Cody.
