"Papa H said that this place is exclusive," Dinah said as we walked inside the club, seeing a numerous amount of people inside. "Most celebrities come here and it's hard getting inside when you don't have enough connections."

"It looks good," Camila said, examining the area before her eyes fell on me. "Did Zayn text you or something? Where are they?"

"He told me that he'll go early with Liam and I think they're in the bar right now," I said, pulling Lauren close to me by the waist as I noticed a few eyes lingering on her. "Where's Tori?"

Lauren was wearing a ripped denim jeans, simple and fitted white crop top to match my outfit and it showed pretty much of her toned stomach BUT it was made to be shown to ME! Not for these horny bastards who were literally drooling over her.

"She texted me a while ago. She said that she's with Alessia," Camila said, her eyes roaming around the club. "I'll look for them."

"Tell Fletcher to go with you," I said, pointing to the bodyguard behind us. "We'll go to our booth. If you find them, tell them to gather up in there and we'll have a good time tonight."

"Okay," the Cuban said as she smiled, excited to see her girlfriend already.

We watched as Camila disappeared in the flashing lights, and I looked over my shoulder to see if there were people still gawking at my girlfriend. And there was—four men situated in a booth, their eyes fixated on Lauren's body and it angered me that they were looking at her like a piece of meat. I didn't want to cause a scene and I knew I couldn't resort to violence. We were in a place where news would spread faster than a wildfire and I didn't want to ruin our name just because of this.

"Babe," Lauren said softly as Normani and the other girls made their way to our booth, leaving Lauren and I where we stood.

"Yeah?" I asked, glaring at the guys who didn't seem fazed at my hand gripping on Lauren's waist.

"Can you loosen up your hold a little bit?" She asked and it was only then that I noticed that I was already hurting her.

I shook my head and withdrew my hand, circling my arm around her shoulder instead before tearing my gaze away from the guys. "I'm sorry. I just didn't like the way they were staring at you. It feels like they're undressing you with their eyes and I'm trying so hard not to punch them in the gut."

Lauren chuckled, snaking her arms around my waist as she leaned up to me, our faces close to each other. "My little tiger is possessive of me, huh? Don't worry, baby. Ignore them because I'm all yours and you're the only one who'll get to see me undressed."

"It's not about that," I said, glaring at the disgusting men again. "You're not something they could feast on, Lauren, and they're looking at you like you are."

"Babe," Lauren said, her voice stern, and I knew that I had to look at her when her tone was like that. At first, I didn't want to, keeping my eyes on the guy who started laughing as he was looking at me challengingly. I clenched my jaw, but I felt Lauren's warm hand cupping my chin. "Hey, look at me."
