I don't know what was louder, the music or the laughter of old men scattered around the place playing poker.
Most women looked in their early 30's or late 20's, being here gave me chills, but I had a debt I needed to pay, 18 or not I'm not a quitter.
"Laura, this way." I fix my red short dress and follow the men, my black heals click as I walk down the dark hallway.
The men in black tuxedos stop their tracks and I do too coming to face a large black door, "Is he here?" They nod and I start walking, but one of them stops me by holding my wrist, "Just some strong advice...behave." He smirks at me and I roll my eyes and pull my wrist away from his hold.
I look at the door and knock three times, the creaks of the door make me cringe and I go in walking slowly, I come to face my fears and what made me brave, the man that stole my innocence and all my pride, the man that killed two of my best friends."Laura dear.. and at last you show up."
"You know I didn't have a choice Adrian."
He sighs, "I remember when you used to come every night here without me having to put a gun on your head." He smirks
"I was stupid back then." I glare at him.
He glares back, "Where's the drugs?"
" I took them all." I cross my hands and smile, well fake smile.
"Obviously you didn't, cause If you were telling the truth you'd be dead and I wouldn't have to do this." He smirks, and god I hate that fucking smirk!
"Do what?" And suddenly I'm in hand cuffs. I'm not even surprised, That's an Adrian move and I can't believe I ever dated that man.
"I never forgot how kinky you are." I laugh, but again.. it's fake. I hate his fucking guts.
"Shut up. Eric!" He shouts.
A young man with a black tuxedo comes in and looks at Adrian then at me then back at Adrian, "Yes sir?"
"Take her to another room and leave her rot in there, she deserves it."
Eric looks at me and I look to, he looks like he's in his early twenties, I've always been good with ages. He then comes closer and puts his hands on both of my shoulders which make me turn my head and bite one of his hands.
"Ow!" He growls, and I laugh for real this time, the look of hurt on his face was priceless and I can't help but feel proud.
"You bitch!" Adrian yells coming closer, raising his hand to pay me back,but Eric grabs my shoulders again and pushes me away. "It's alright Sir, I'll make sure she pays."
From the what I see, Adrian looks like he trusts his men so much, that he'd let them do his dirty work.
*******************
"Where are you taking me?" I ask Eric who's holding me tight in case I try escape or bite him again.
"Didn't you hear Adrian?" He says flatly.
"Oh so now it's Adrian? What happened to 'sir'?" I roll my eyes, for some reason I'm not even mad at Eric even though he's one of Adrian's men.
We take some stairs that led down to a dark cold place, Eric flickers on the lights and I realize that it's a wide ball full of dungeons; my jaw drops, "well shit." I state.
" You should have known what you got yourself into, how could you not except that?" He furrows his eyebrows, his jaw was tight with a look of anger plastered on his face.
The truth is, I did expect that, I knew what I did was wrong I knew where it led to, but I still did it cause I had no goal in life, but after that bastard killed them I want to become a better person even though I can't really because I'm gonna rot here, but of course I'm not gonna tell him that.
"Aww. Eric you care for me!" I note sarcastically.
He opens one of the dungeons with a key and turns me around, unlocking the hand cuffs. "You're not gonna put me in there, are you?"
He stares blankly at me, "No darling, I'm gonna go there and lock myself in, you can show yourself the way out." He fake smiles and I roll my eyes, with a sigh I get in and close the door myself.
"Let's just get this over with." I close my eyes, waiting.
Nothing..
Nothing?
"What the fuck are you doing?" Eric says.
I open my eyes again and stare at him, "Aren't you gonna punish me?"
"Oh no, I'm not into that shit thanks."
"Eric, you know what I meant!" He shakes his head.
" I don't hit women, Laura, now sit down and wait for me till I get something for you to eat."
**************
"Thankyou." I say while chewing my sandwich, I have my manners but I ain't showing them none.
"What exactly did you do that made Adrian this angry?"
"It wasn't me, it was my best friends." I say looking down at the plate of sandwiches.
He nods his head, "Camila and Darren."
I whip my head to his direction, "How do y-"
"I was there." He admits.
