Eyes So Blue I Drown

6| Club

ARABELLA

I push the entrance and join his office room with cold steps. Feeling several eyes on me including Luca's who is standing at the end of the table makes me realize there was a meeting going on here.

Stop glaring at me you all, I'm not going to take much of your time.

"I just wanted to tell you that I and Leah are going to the club," I say to Luca and turn around, pulling the door open.

"Excuse me" Luca's voice broke the silence of this room and I hear his steps after me until I got out of the room and the door begins to get closed on its own behind me.

It was a matter of time before Luca pulls it back open and steps outside, too.

"My guards will be with you," he informs.

I roll my eyes, "I'm enough to protect her if that's what fretting your head"

"It wasn't an advice."

"Well, we are not just going to stand there encircled by your guards" I object.

Why have them around when there's no necessity? After a seconds of staring contest, instead of clashing further, a smirk recreates on his lips, "Go on then"

~~~

"God, you're looking stunning!" Leah compliments me and extends the door of the car for me.

I beam, "Thanks, Leah, you're looking adorable too" I lean back into the seat and see Fantino seating in the driver's seat.

What?

"When he's going to arrive so that we can finally leave" Renzo's voice reaches my ears and I divert my gaze behind just to witness him setting his hair.

Leah takes a seat beside Fantino in front. What the actual fuck? When did they intend to go with us? And who are they referring to?

"I hope I'm not late" the door of beside me gets opened and Luca jumps on the seat next to me fidgeting with a pen before I could even blink.

"We can leave now," he says to Fantino.

"Wait! You're coming with us too?" my eyes go broadened, and I lean back in my seat.

Luca presses his lips together and gives his shoulders a small, short lift. "I mean, I own the place we're going to, so of course, I can go there whenever I want"

I stun, "But- Why with us?!" I feel my head aching.

"You didn't want guards to accompany you, so I thought I could handle it myself" he winks at me.

I grit my teeth, crossing my arms on my chest and jerking my gaze away from him.

I wanted this night to be a stress reliever.

I pick another glass of drink from the table.

This club is not so crowded but nonetheless, people here are not failing in breaking the dance floors. Spacious, elegant, high-quality drinks... everything is impressive here.

"Don't drink so much, Leah" Fantino says to her.

"Oh come on, let me have one more glass before Luca comes back," she says and swallows all of it in one go.
