Guilty pleasures I

Chapter 32

Celebrity criminal

"This place is crazy", i say as Lexi leads me into a room out back. "It's where the old vip rooms used to be but they demolished it into 1 big room it's pretty cool huh", she says. "I want to stay here forever", i say flopping down onto one of the sofas.

"That's exactly what I used to say I practically lived here", she says smiling walking over to another section of the room. "We have a private bar and everything away from the crowd", she says throwing around empty bottle like the bartenders but failing.

"I used to", she says awkwardly as I laugh. "Although you cant really hear the music as-well", she says picking up her drink. "Now come on let's go party", she says holding onto my arm.

"There's no way he will find us down here we can just stay here forever", i say excited as we make our way into the crowd. "Down these so we don't have to carry them whilst dancing", she says taking in all of her drink leaving the empty glass on a table nearby.

"I'll get Marco to come and join us soon if you want we could do with some extra company everyone here comes in groups mostly", she says above the music. "Okay sure", i reply as we start dancing to the rhythm.

Enzo:

"Are you joking, what do you mean they aren't here you better not be lying to me Fernandez", i say before walking back to the car. "Any sign of them", Santi says as I shake my head. "They haven't made an appearance here either.

"So what now they were definitely at a club", Santi says. "I don't know we just have to keep trying their phones whilst trying to find any other clubs around the area. "There's a couple down the road but I doubt they'll be there but we can check into he way back down the road", Santi says as I nod. "Best to check to make sure", i say as he sets off.

Aria:

"I'm going to go and get us some drinks I won't be long", Lexi says leaving me alone with Marco as we both dance opposite one another. "I've never seen you around before", he says with a smile. "I moved here around 5 months ago pretty new to the area", i say back.

"So how did you and Lexi meet"? He asks. "Oh just through connections", i say as he nods. "She has a lot of connections that's for sure", he says as I laugh. "So what's your social life like met anyone new over here"? He says. "Maybe a nice Italian guy", he adds as a smile.

"Maybe", i say as Lexi reappears with drinks for us all. "What did I miss"? She says smiling. "Just getting to know one another", Marco says as we decide to make our way over to a booth with our drinks.

"So how did you guys meet"? I say aimed at the both of them. "Well Marco started working here a few years back and a few months after opening I started coming here mostly weekends but then months go by and I was probably here daily or on days I wasn't at my parents", she says.

"She practically was glued to this place", he says as she laughs. "What can I say it's the best club in town, don't tell enzo that", she says. "You know enzo then"? He asks as I nod. "Yeah I know him for sure we are kind of a thing at the moment", i say as his eyes widen. "Damn I never thought I'd see the day", he says as I question. "So you know enzo"?

"Who doesn't"? "He's like a celebrity criminal down here", he adds. "I've never seen him in person he's never been here but I've heard a lot and have seen him through the media. "Seems reasonable", i say as my phone starts to ring.

"He's so obsessed with you tonight", Lexi says ending the phone call with him. "He just can't let me have fun", i say. "So how are you finding things in Italy", Marco says above the noise. "It's a lot different than my hometown every seems a lot nicer down here for sure it's quite sweet to be honest", i say as he nods.

"How come you moved down here"? He adds. "Well I was studying fashion design and the only space I wanted fitted best to a programme down here so I moved but that's old news I don't attend them no more", i say as Lexi interrupts.

"But she'll be starting her own kind of fashion stuff soon in the new house as Marco nods.

Enzo:

"No sign of them", i say getting back in the car. "I might of found our place", santi says pulling up a club 20 minutes away back from where we started. "I just phoned around and Caleb knew about some old underground place he had picked Lexi up them times she came back to us hungover. "He said they might be there".

"Find the address I'll try phoning once more on the way", i say dialling Lexis number. "Straight to answer phone", i reply as Santi hands his phone over to me. "Search up the club to find the address it's the only place we haven't been to", he says.

"Yeah because we've never been here it's fucking underground not that clear to see when driving past", i say finding the address. "Take the next left then it's straight up until we find a worn down park.

"It's a fucking mess down here", Santi says driving down the lane. "The pictures and reviews for this place look good thought maybe it's just a disguise", i say as we get closer.

"Fuck", santi says pulling over down to another lane. "What the fuck", I say being pushed against the edge of the car. "It's fucking Angelo", he says looking at the mirror behind. "Gio"? I say now looking behind to spot him in the distance outside a building with a few other guys as a group of girls leave in dresses.

"Fuck", i say.
