Sweet Creature

Chapter 93

August 2017~
Harry's POV~

After driving to my apartment I decided to order in for dinner while I think about where I would do my test at. A few hours later my phone begins to ring, it was the song Gen had sung that one night at karaoke.

"Hello?"

"How does this phone make you sound even sexier?" Gen sighs.

"Simple, cause I get hotter by the moment... Duh." I tease. "What are you doing?"

"I'm on my way to my friend Talia's, she's insisting on dolling me up." She replies. "Don't worry though, I'm hands free." She adds.

"Good I was about to scold you, promise me if a guy touches you or even stares too long you'll break their nose?"

"Of course Harry." She replies giggling. "I just pulled up to her house, I'll talk to you later ok babe?"

"Sure, I'll see you tomorrow right?" I ask.

"Actually I was thinking." She pauses.

Shit my mom did scare her off.

"I'm not ready for you to meet Ever yet but maybe you could pick me up?" She asks.

"If that's what you want baby."

"Ok, I'll text you my address. Have a good night Harry." She replies happily.

"Night Gen." I say into the phone and toss it on my bed as I walk into my bathroom.

The apartment I settled on is really nice, it has a large bathroom and closet which is awesome cause I'm kind of a clothing whore.

In a cool way ok?

After taking a shower I decide on a black shirt with a houndstooth vest and matching pants. Might as well look the part eh? I smooth my hair back one last time before grabbing my keys and heading for the door.

I knew I wasn't going to drink but knowing I was responsible for my own well being would just cement my decision. 

Plus I wanted to be able to leave at any time.

After a 20 minute drive I park and walk towards the door.

"You'll need one of these sir." The doorman says as he hands me a black mask. "Singles must stay downstairs unless accompanied by someone else." He adds and I nod at him before brushing past him.

The dark club looks just as it did 4 years ago.

The night I fell even deeper down the rabbit hole.

I take a seat at the bar and the bartender comes over. "What will it be man?" He shouts over the music.

"Just a coke for now." I yell back. After a few minutes he slides my coke over to and I sip it as I look out to the dance floor.

April 2013~

 "Give me two shots of tequila followed by two of your best whiskey on the rocks and leave a tab open but only allow us to order one more drink each after these two" Louis purrs at the barmaid as he slides her a $100.

"Of course baby." The raven haired barmaid cooed.

"So we take the shot first and then nurse the whiskey, you'll be thanking me by the time your glass is empty." Louis explains as the shots were placed in front of us followed by the whiskey.

Grabbing a shot I tip the glass towards him. "Whatever you say Louis." I sass before downing the shot as Louis followed suit. "So what is this place?" I ask, leaning my back against the bar and looking around.

"It's a BDSM club." Louis says simply as he sips his whiskey.

"Um, I don't think I want to be whipped Louis."

"Not like that mate, I mean not unless you want it like that. Upstairs is the "couple's playground". There are private rooms and shit but some people don't even care and just go at it wherever. " Louis explains further.

August 2017~

Looking at the empty bar stool next to me made me realize how much I've changed, I knew I was ready for the next step.

"Hey, can I get a whiskey on the rocks?" I ask the bartender, he nods at me and brings me a glass a few minutes later as I slide him a $20. "Keep the change."

Holding the drink I look back out at the dance floor, there was a group of women dancing together and laughing. One in particular caught my eye, she had straight long hair and dark lips. She was wearing a black long sleeved dress that hugged her body with a silver mask over dark smokey eyes.

What stood out about her the most was that almost every man that approached her she turned away from. 

Maybe she's a lesbian?
Or maybe it's just not her type of guy?

Without thinking I brought the glass to my lips but soon realized what I was doing before the liquid poured into my mouth.

Fuck.

Sighing I turn towards the bar and pull out my phone to call Gen.

"Hello?" She answers after a couple of rings, she sounds breathless and tired.

"Hey, I um... I ordered a drink."

"Did you drink it?" She asks.

"No, I zoned out and almost took a sip but caught myself."

"Where are you Harry?" She questions.

"The Guardian."

"Harry I'm so fucking proud of you baby but I really have to go." Gen informs me.

"It's fine, I'll probably head out soon. Be safe ok?"

"You got it." She giggles as she hangs up.

And now I have a boner, joy.

"Hey Joey, can I get a water?" A voice sounds behind me.

"You got it babe." He calls back as the mystery person settles next to me.

"Come here often?" She whispers and I turn to look at her.

It was dark so I couldn't tell what color hair she has, Her eyes were ice blue and her lips a dark maroon.

Fuck I know her.
