Right On Track

Chapter 56

"You what? "Ivy's eyes widened.
Kiara shrugged after telling Ivy what happened after the race,turning back to the mirror.
"About damn time."The Mclaren driver muttered.
"Huh?" Kiara arched a brow,meeting her gaze in the mirror of the vanity.
"Nothing."Ivy quickly shook her head,crossing her arms.
Kiara arched a brow,then shrugged it off and went back to putting on her mascara.
"But where the hell are you off to,now?"Ivy frowned,coming up beside Kiara and motioning to her black bodycon outfit.
"The club."
"With?"
"Myself."
Ivy frowned."Kiara,you're going clubbing alone tonight?What are you-"
"I won't be alone when I get there."Kiara said,turning from the mirror and grabbing her car keys from nearby.
"Oh."Ivy said,seeming to catch on."Are you going to the same club..."
"Where Carlos and a few others are celebrating?"Kiara nodded."Yes."
"Then,why didn't you just tell him that you-"
"He doesn't know that I'm coming."Kiara said."Caco just invited me."
Ivy sighed,but it sounded like it was in relief.She smiled and looked at Kiara."I'm happy for you,Ki."
"Huh?"Kiara arched a brow as they approach the hotel room door.
"I mean,you finally said it."She said."And everything is fine between you two now,right?"
Kiara just nodded,looking down to hide her blush as she thought about what happened after the race.
She would have given herself a pat on the back of she could.She actually managed to express it to Carlos.
"Anyway,"Ivy said as they left the hotel room."You get going."
"Thanks."Kiara said,giving her a hug."Bye."
Ivy winked,then started to walk away."Text me later."
Kiara nodded,then made her way to leave the hotel.

Kiara reached the club,which seemed to be heavily filled up with people all around.So much so that she didn't know whether she would be able to find Carlos or not.Almost everyone inside was deep into it already,a few even stumbling drunk out of the club.
She took a deep breath. I can do this.
Then,she walked into the club.
Immediately hearing the loud music,the crowd and seeing the flashing lights,Kiara started to look around.
She walked for some time,getting noticed by a lot of people,which held her up a little as they asked for pictures.Well,most of them were drunk.And someone even asked her to literally sign their hand,but she just kept going forward to look for Carlos.
She heard someone laugh out loud,exclaiming something in Spanish through the loud music and dancing.
And she knew that she was going the right way once she heard it.
She moved forward,more towards the middle of room.
Then,she saw him.Finally.
Standing nearby and talking to Caco and someone else,he laughed and took a sip of his drink.
Kiara took another deep breath,then decided to approach him.
But just before she could,someone put a hand on her arm,stopping her.
Kiara immediately turned around to look at the person.
"You look lost."He chuckled,blinking a few times.He was clearly very drunk.
Kiara tried to brush off his hand,saying."Not interested.Now,please-"
"Come on,"He said,coming closer and holding her other arm."Just a minute."
"No,I don't even know you."Kiara snapped,quickly trying to shove him away."Now,let go."
He didn't let go,though,rather pulling her closer till she was almost against his chest.
"Let go."Kiara clenched her jaw and raised a hand,about to shove him.
He grabbed that hand tightly and leaned down,trying to kiss her.
She managed to free her other hand and she pushed him by the shoulder.
He frowned at that,trying to keep his drunken self stable."You stubborn-"
"Just get away from me."Kiara pointed a finger.
She turned around,trying to leave.
And that's when he grabbed her waist from behind,putting his lips on her neck.
"Get away from me!"She demanded,trying to elbow him,even trying to pull off his grip on her waist.
He got a hold of her hands and held them firmly,keeping her in his arms and trying to kiss the side of her neck.She shut her eyes tightly as she felt it.
Kiara tried to shake it off.She even tried to get the nearest person's attention.But of course,through the blasting music and dancing,nobody noticed.
Well,at least that's what she thought until the man suddenly let go of her and seemed to stagger back.
Kiara almost fell forward,catching her balance again as she was finally free.
She immediately turned around to see what had happened.And her eyes went wide as she saw Carlos pull him up by the collar of his shirt,punching him across the face.
Kiara gasped a little as she witnessed it.
"Carlos!"She heard Caco exclaim from nearby.
"Bastardo."Carlos seethed as kicked the man in the shin.
