Another Night

Chapter 13 - Drunk Out Of Love

"Well I'm about ready to knock out," I begin to yawn. "Sweet dreams everyone!"

"Goodnight, Mara!" They cheered back.

"Me too!" Thomas got up. "The food got me sleepy."

"I thought it was just me," Toni chuckled.

"It's so early!" Manuel spoke.

And one by one they all started going to bed.

The seven of us just texted and agreed to chill or take a nap until after midnight when we can take a boat off the island and we agreed on where to meet and what to do in order to sneak out.

All we had to do was wait.

Victoria's POV

"Colin!" I smiled and waved.

"Victoria, what an unannounced visit," he sneered.

"Had to meet the team the right way," I smiled. "Where's Mara?"

"Sleeping actually," Colin says. "And you can't meet the whole team, just anyone who's awake cause a bunch of them went to bed already or to their rooms for the night."

"I'll be here tomorrow, if you don't mind," I smirked.

"If there's room in the staff house and if you won't be any trouble-"

"Of course not, how could you even say that?" I chuckled. "I'm gonna go over to those that are awake, that cluster over there," I pointed. "Who's asleep though?"

"Thomas, Marco, Julian, Toni-"

"Got it," I simply smiled and walked away.

Looks like I arrived just in time to catch something. Marco and Mara being asleep so early makes me even more suspicious, especially on such a festive night.

Mara's POV

I woke up from my nap before my alarm and then proceeded to get dressed.

I carried my sandals in one hand as I made sure to not make a sound when I got out of the house.

I went straight to the docks like we planned and was only greeted by Ter Stegen and Marco.

"There they are," Marc pointed behind me, making Marco and I turn to see.

Thomas, Mats, Toni, Julian, Mario, Bastian, and Lukas were on their way over.

"The more the merrier," Thomas smiled, and I chuckled.

"Of course," I nodded my head as the boat was nearing the dock.

We all got on and Lukas pulled out a bottle of liquor.

"Shall we?" He asked as he took the cap off.

Marco and I made ourselves the "designated drivers," in order to make sure we could spend time together without them really noticing or getting suspicious and by the time we got to the coast, the guys were more halfway drunk.

When we arrived to the club we decided on, the guys either went straight to the bar or the dance floor and Marco and I were basically the parents that had to bring their kids along on their date night.

Before I know it, Marco takes my hand in his, making me look up at him.

"We can," he speaks before I do. "No one can see us."

I decide to let all my fear go and live in the moment.

The two of us make our way to the dance floor just as a new song comes on and I begin to try to talk over the loud music.
