WILD THING

♡ | MARINA & AND THE DIAMONDS | ♡ CHAPTER 13

' Tonight's the night, the mood is right 

Anything I choose he buys 

I observe by his shoes and ties 

He prefer the exclusive kind.'

Lana performed her new single 

'Burning Desire' and after a long round of applause, Jimmy closed the show and we were dismissed.

Lana took me to one of her favourite nightclubs, The 40/40 club.  

Apparently this place was famous because it was a celebrity hangout.  

The likes of Jay-Z and Rihanna frequented this place.  

So, what the hell was I doing here?

Later that night, Lana and I were  

swaying to an Azealia Banks tune:

'Chocolate candy, liquorice too 

Wanna book a ticket, get physical soon 

Head of the class, but I got principals too, 

Arching my back give them a view, 

He wanna taste the cinnamon too, 

Sex is a race, I'm winning it too, 

I'm a rude bitch but I like gentlemen.'

" I love this!" I screamed over the music.  

" Yeah!" Lana exclaimed and continued to dance.

I put a mental note in my brain to do some research on Azealia.  

God, she is amazing.  

And I am fairly hard to please as you might have discovered.

Lana left shortly after to go to the ladies room so I sat myself down at the bar.  

I had just unlocked my phone and was about to send a message to Harry when some guy callpsed beside me. I looked up at him and then reverted my gaze back to my mobile phone.  

He looked like he was a male-model of sorts.

I could feel his gaze on me so I shifted my body away from him, hoping he'd read my body language.  

I was not interested.  

He might be drop-dead gorgeous but, I was claimed by Harry.

I heard a chuckle come from him and when I peeked he was smiling casually towards me.  

I put down my phone and returned his stare.  

Can't he take a hint!?

"What's a beautiful girl, like yourself doing all by her lonesome?" He questioned slyly.  

" I'm not on my own." I admitted confidently.  

" Where's you boyfriend then?" He questioned intrigued.  

" In France." He looked confuse by my obscurity.  

" France?" He tested the word.  

I nodded proudly.  

" So, that means you are by yourself." He said with a glint of wickedness in his eyes. 

I laughed sardonically.  

" Nice try, but no." 

The glint in his gaze faded.  

" What's your name then, Beautiful?" He said smoothly.  

" Marina, how about you pretty boy?" I said sleek.  

He laughed and responded with :" RJ."  

"I've never met anyone with initials as 

their first name. Does is stand for anything?"I asked curiously.  

He shook his head.  

"What's you last name, RJ?" 

" King." He said with a glorious smirk on his face.  

I laughed at the irony his name held.  

" What about you, Marina?" He smiled wickedly.  

"Diamandis." I pronounced with my Greek accent.  

"So, where are you from? I sense an accent?" He joked.  

"I was born in Wales but I'm half-greek."  

" I've always wanted to go to Greece." RJ admitted.  

" Yeah, It's quite beautiful from why I remember."

We continued to chat about nothing in particular until, Lana came back and saved the day.  

Don't get me wrong, he is a lovely fellow but, I had eyes for only Harry.

I introduced Lana and we all began to chat. I felt relieved Lana was here and I wasn't left alone with RJ.

" What do you do?" Lana questioned RJ.  

He sipped his drink and responded with: "I'm a male-model."  

I KNEW IT!

After revealing our identities our jobs to RJ. He responded with an enthusiastic:" You two looked incredibly familiar!"  

We laughed and continued to talk.

When our conversation began to die down, I felt the atmosphere became very tense.  

I looked at Lana in hopes for her to announce our depart but instead she decided to question RJ some more.

"RJ, a good looking guy like you, must have a girlfriend." She said frankly.  

He laughed at her question.  

"No, I'm actually gay." He responded proudly.  

I, on the other hand choked on my drink.  

What? How could I have judged this so wrong?  

This makes no sense.

"Wow, I would have never in a million years thought that." I said.

When, we finally announced out departure, RJ also wanted to leave claiming the club was "dying-down".

He hailed us a cab and we said our farewells.  

He managed to retrieve Lana's contact number but, not mine. I made up this rubbish excuse and got out of it.

In the ride home, Lana and I discussed the shocking 'RJ' confession and how she was also surprised he was gay.  

I told her about how stupid I now felt for presuming he was interested in me when he was only being friendly.

At Lana's house, I began my thorough research on everything 'Azealia Banks'. I listened to 1991 her first EP and her Fantasea mix-tape.  

I became enthralled with musically and spiritually.

After my discovery Lana and I had a late-night movie night because neither one of us could sleep.  

I was feeling awfully love-sick so, I chose to watch 'Like Crazy' one of the only love stories I enjoy partly because it doesn't have a 'happily ever after'.

That night, I fell asleep and dreaming of a curly-haired sex god.
