ANTHEA

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

As the sun began to set, we headed back to our hotel to freshen up and get ready for the night ahead. I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous as we were getting ready.

Aiden suggested checking out a famous nightclub nearby, and we all agreed it sounded like a fun idea. Little did we know that this night would turn out to be one of the most memorable nights of our trip.

This was going to be the first time going to a nightclub since I am pregnant.

I didn't want to be the party pooper, but I also didn't want to do anything that could potentially harm my baby.

"Come on Anthea, hurry up!" Joss calls from the living room. "We're going to miss all the fun!'"

I roll my eyes as I finish putting on my black dress, making sure it hugs my pregnant belly perfectly.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming," I say, grabbing my purse and joining the boys in the living room and went out.

We make our way to the nightclub, the boys all giddy with excitement. I can't help but feel a little out of place. I mean, I'm the only pregnant one here. But I'm determined not to let that get in the way of a good time.

As we enter the club, the loud music and flashing lights hit me like a wave. The boys are already heading to the bar, and I follow close behind. Joss orders a round of shots, and they all down them quickly, feeling the burn in their throats.

They made sure I was having a good time while also keeping an eye out for me.

While Eros handed me a cold drink. "Here, I made sure it's alcohol-free."

Joss pulled me into a group hug. "We wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here with you, Anthea," he said sincerely.

"Let's dance!" Dong shouts over the music, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the dance floor.

We dance the night away, laughing and having a great time. At one point, I catch Joss and Dong eyeing some girls at the bar.

"Go over there and talk to them," I shout in their ears, knowing very well that neither of them have the guts to do it.

"Are you crazy?" Joss yells back. "I'm not going to cheat on my girl."

[by his girl he means Anthea]

I roll my eyes. "I didn't say cheat. Just have some fun."

"Yeah, Joss, live a little," Dong chimes in, mischievous glint in his eyes.

Joss shakes his head, but I can see him glancing back at the girls every chance he gets. I smile to myself, knowing that I might have just planted a crazy idea in his head.

As the night goes on, and after a few more rounds of dancing, things start to get a little blurry. I find myself dancing with Aiden, we were dancing close, our bodies moving in perfect sync to the pulsing beat. His hand rested on the small of my back, sending shivers down my spine. I felt his warm breath against my ear as he leaned in to talk over the loud music.

"Having fun, Anthea?" he asked, a mischievous glint in his eye.

I grinned and nodded, leaning in closer to him. "Definitely. This trip has been amazing so far," I replied, my heart hammering in my chest.

I couldn't shake the desire to kiss him, to feel his lips against mine. But I also couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

You see, I was pregnant, and these feelings were completely unexpected. I never thought I would be in this situation, let alone have feelings for Aided after that talk one time.
