Dangerous Dance

CHAPTER 7 - Scarlett

I brushed my hair, put my long gold earrings on and my gold necklace Grace gave me last year for my birthday. Tonight we all are going out. Julian has hyped it up the whole day and so did Noah. "You.. Look.. Hot" Maddie came into my room, with her mouth on the floor. "And so do you," I said. I had a black mini dress on and some high heels. My feet hurt from the heels, but I wanted to try something new. "Should I go sleek or just let my hair down?" She looked at my hair and was thinking for a minute. "Hmm, good question... I think you should let your hair down." So I did that.

We went downstairs to take some shots before going to the club. The club was only 10 minutes away if we walked. The boys had already left so it was just Maddie and I. Maddie took out some shots she had bought today. We drank 3 shots each before we left. We went down the streets and were only 2 minutes away from the club. The streets were so pretty, and full of people. I liked this energy, and regretted that this was my first time out in the city. I saw a restaurant that I really wanted to go to some day. "Its right there," Maddie pointed at a club. There was a long line of people, and this is going to take time. I saw the big led light above the club "LA Club" , a pretty basic name, but easy to remember.

After 10 minutes in the line, we finally came in. I looked around in the club, the music was loud and was full of people. Maddie texted Julian, so we could find them, and I was looking for the bar. "I want drinks Maddie, we can find the boys after," I took her hand and dragged her with me. "Two sex on the beach, thanks." I said to the hot bartender, He had brown curly hair, green eyes and was tall. "Can I see some id," I gave him my id and he smirked, "Scarlett Coldwell," he said, "Here's your drinks," he blinked at me. I was flattered by the way he looked at me.

"Here's your drink Maddie." She took the drink and started to walk.

"I found the boys," She led the way to the boys. I was not surprised over where they sat, it was in a VIP-area, that they for sure had used a lot of money on. There were a lot of girls I didn't know, properly some random chicks for tonight.

I tried to see if I could find Asher, because he wasn't with Julian. My looks finally felt on a girl with long blond hair, and a hand grabbing her ass. I was disappointed when I saw which hand it belonged to, it was Ashers. He was in full swing of making out with her. I didn't know why, I felt like this. It felt like I was jealous, but why was I jealous? I drank my drink, and went downstairs to get a new one.

"Tequila shots, thanks" I said to the hot bartender. "Tequila on the way," he said. He gave

me the tequila, "'can i take the tequila shot on you," I said confidently, and looked him deep in the eyes, "Of course," he put salt on his neck, and leaned towards me, I licked the salt, drank the shot and ate the lime. "Give me one more."

I began to feel the 3 shots we got at home, the 4 tequila shots, and 3 drinks I got here. The hot bartender said i shouldnt drink anymore, so i went back to the VIP-area.

When I came back, Maddie wasn't there, but Asher was. Now alone. I stood there for a minute and considered whether I should go over to him or not. To be honest I was so drunk that the only answer in my head was yes, I should go over to him. Which is maybe a very stupid idea. When I stepped towards him. he looked from my legs and up, and slightly bit his lips before he looked up to my face. I put my hands on his legs, the music was too loud so I bent over, so I could whisper in his ears. "Can we talk?" I stepped away, and he nodded before he got up and led the way outside.

He stood against the wall, he took a pack of cigarettes up from his pocket. "Can I have one?" I asked. I didn't smoke, but I was pretty wasted and wanted to try it.

He looked at me like he did not hear me, "Can I have one?" I asked again, and crossed my arms, "Of course not," he said and laughed, while he lit a cigarette.

"Why not?" I asked confused, "Scarlett, you're not a smoker, and you're drunk." I looked more confused now. Why does he have to decide who or what I was doing? "You're joking right?"

"Does it look like I'm joking," he said coldly. "Why are you such a jerk today? is it because you slept in my bed last night?" he took a drag from his cigarette, and looked at me, he stepped toward me, so we were inches from each other. "I couldn't care less about that, I sleep in a lot of girls' beds." He said, we were still inches from each other. I was speechless, what did he just say?

"But you were so sweet to me." I couldn't understand why he shifted so fast.

"Because you're my best friend's sister, I promised him to take care of you." I stood there in shock over the words he just said. "I can take care of myself, you idiot." I said to him and stepped back. This is not the Asher I once knew. I actually thought we were friends, besides my weird lusts, but no we weren't, he was just my bodyguard because my brother thinks i'm a little girl.

I went inside, without looking back, but I heard him once saying, "Scarlett, wait," I thought he would follow after me if I didn't turn, but he didn't. So I guess it wasn't important. He maybe just wants to tell me that I'm a little girl that needs protection, but no I don't. I have for a year now lived on my own, being an adult. Tonight i wanna be a wild teenager, and Asher can fuck off.

I went down to the bar again, to the hot bartender. Not to get drinks, but to get something else. I knew it was a stupid move, because I am drunk and mad, but at least he treated me as an adult.

"Do you need water," he said, and smirked. "I need your number," I said confidently. He looked at me but then turned around. I just sat there and waited, but it took him some time. He came back with a glass of water. But no number. He then turned around once more to get something. He took a pen, "Give me your arm." I did as he said, and he wrote his number on my arm.
