Against My Will

~ Chapter Nine ~

Hey guys,

I'm not dead don't worry. But turns out my wifi is acting up at home and also the fact that there's a possum in our roof (don't ask) so we have to stay at a hotel for awhile.

I'll still be updating regularly!

"Brandon?" What was he doing here? Last I heard he was Brandon freaking Kent, the businessman, the entrepreneur, stalked by the paparazzi I was yet to come across. I don't think a club at this time of the night will do well with the press. "What're you doing here?"

He raised an eyebrow as if I was speaking in a language he couldn't understand. "What am I doing here?" He laughed. I sheepishly nodded. "I own this club Michelle. Kingston High Club, did it ever occur to you that it was named after my son, Kingston Kent?"

I shrugged, "The thought never crossed my mind." I wanted to smile at the thought that he named it after his son but I kept a straight face because Brandon seemed really annoyed for some reason. I bet he's forgotten about our really brief kiss. He probably went home to Amy and immediately regretted us because Amy's pretty much the perfect wife.

Brandon narrowed his eyes and looked me up and down before his gaze returned to staring me in the eye. "Why are you in the club anyways? You're not of age."

"No I'm not." I shook my head. "But it's based on social status as well as age and I'm with my best friend who has a very high ranking social status.

Brandon scoffed and I was merely offended he would think I don't have friends that match up to his relevancy to the world. "And who's this friend of yours?"

"Jade Rios."

"There's no way you're friends with Jade Rios."

"Did someone say my name?"

I turned my attention away from Brandon and was met with my my best friends face stuffed with mini donut balls. I sighed and grabbed her still drunk face in my hands and remove all five colourful donut balls she managed to fit in her mouth. I mumbled a string of swear words at her and almost laughed as he frowned trying to understand what I was saying.

That's how drunk she is.

"Jade, what am I going to do with you?" I sighed placing my hand on her shoulder. "You know you can't have sugar."

"I-I'm sorry."

"So you're really friends with Mr Rios daughter." Brandon's voice came from behind me.

"No shit Sherlock." I retorted. It's his fault for not taking my word for it.

"Why are you not giving Sherlock any shits?" Jade slurred falling into my arms. I grunted as she landed hard on my chest.

"How much has she had to drink?" Brandon asked.

"A lot."

"This is Mr Rios daughter were talking about, he can ruin my reputation and with my reputation ruined, I would have to rely on Amy and that would mean you gone as a nanny. What were you thinking letting her drink under your watch." I rolled my eyes as he continued his rant. "You guys are underage for christ's sake. Michelle you should know better than that."

"Yeah and you know better than to kiss me while you have a more than anyone could ask for wife at home." I immediately regretted the words as I said them, obviously something made Brandon pissed before he came to the club, not our kiss. And I just added more fuel to the fire.

"I'm getting you out of here." Brandon muttered completely ignoring my statement. He pulled out his phone from his suit jacket and dialled a number that picked up almost immediately. I half heartedly listened to his conversation and half heartedly thought about how bad I wanted to be back in my comfy bed right now. Seems like Jade was already thinking about that too as she fell in and out of sleep on me. "Let's go, my driver is out back."

I simply nodded and wrapped one of Jade's arm around my shoulder while her body waist rested on my side. I'm so going to kill her tomorrow morning, she's lucky I'm doing this for her, not to mention in heels.

"Michelle!"

I drowsily turned round to face Brandon jogging up to me. We weren't even out of the club yet, why does he possibly need to say.

"There's paparazzi outside."

If I wasn't so tired and I didn't have a pounding headache I would be freaking out. Amy stated that there would be contact with the Pap in the contact I signed but I never expected to encounter them so early. They paparazzi probably aren't that much. But instead I slowly nodded my head. Brandon seemed to be taken aback by my response but he bit his lip anxiously and led the way, he made sure to get a grip of my shoulder so he could steer me in the right direction.

I was totally wrong.

There's a lot of paparazzi.

The flashing lights almost blinded me, they were enough to get me out of my cloudy state.

"Brandon!" One man with a flashing camera round his neck called.

"No, look over here Brandon!"

"Mr Kent! Why are you leaving your club with two young girls dress provocatively?!"

"Does Mrs Kent know about this?"

"Is there going to be a threesome?"

"Is Kingston really your son?"

"Mr Rios is back in town! Are you hound to do business with him?"

"Is that his daughter with you?"

And those were only a few shouts I could make out. The paparazzi were ruthless. But luckily Brandon's security guard was there to keep them away long enough to make a path to get into the Audi with tinted windows. Once I stepped inside, I knew it was lights out for me.

~*~*~*~*

I woke up in a dark bedroom gasping for air. My head was aching and I had a pounding headache, it took awhile for my eyes to adjust to the flashing light on the clock. It was 2 am, the fact that I'm remaining calm about this scares me. I wasn't in my outfit from the night but I was in a pink silky robe. The last I remembered I was with Brandon and Jade and there was paparazzi around all of us. How would I have ended up in this strange room?

"You're awake." A voice I recognised as Brandon came from behind me. "While you were out,  I got my housekeeper Nancy to change you out of your clothes while I ran a bath for you. I saw how tired you looked at the club but you stayed awake for Jade and my sake so I really appreciate that." He started to mumbled some of his words so I spun on the bed and stared into his beautiful hazel eyes. He stopped for a second to stare back but shook his head immediately. "I'm really sorry for how I behaved at the office. I know I shouldn't have done what I had done but I...don't regret the kiss  at all. Just come in the bath with me and I will explain everything. You deserve that much.

I think we all know what I did next.
