Strip that down

Chapter 6

Zara P.O.V

We stayed up last night talking and it felt nice to talk to someone else other then Elena or Ari.

Erick is such a sweet guy and he is so funny he tried balancing three books on his head last night and it didn't work out. It was so funny though I was dying of laughter.

And his jokes made me laugh even more I can't believe the rest of the guys told him they weren't funny because they so are.

"What do you want for breakfast?"I asked everyone as I looked at them.

"I'm coming back."Elena said and quickly left.

"Man she's funny."Chris said as he took a seat from the breakfast bar."I like her."

"So is it just you two that live here?"Zabdiel asked as he put his glass of his water down.

I jumped off the surface. "Don't think k should be sharing this kind of information with guys we just met last night."

"Well we are sitting in your home right now so I don't think it makes any difference."Richard said with a chuckle.

"It used to be me, Ari and El but then Ari moved out."I answered Zabdiel's question."Now it's just me and El."

"How did you all meet then?"Erick asked as he looked at me his eyes were breathtaking I was going to die there and then.

"Elena and Zara were childhood best friends and still are. They met Ari in high school."River explained. "Then I met them in college I was doing the same course as Zara and we met Adeline in a subway drowning her sorrows in a meatball maniac during college."

"How did you guys all meet then?"I asked as I pulled out the eggs from the fridge.

"It's a long ass story."Richard replied with a chuckle.

"We got time."River said with a smile on her face.

"Well erm...."Zabdiel said as he looked at Erick signalling him to say it.

This was going to be so funny right now.

"Guys just say it they already know we are strippers."Chris said as he rolled his eyes.

"Well me and Zabdiel met in dance class then we met these two and then we met Joel."Richard answered my question.

"Stop fucking lying okay! It was obviously something else if Erick and Zabdiel didn't want to say it."River said as her phone rang blinded to its ringing.

"You said it was a long ass story too."I added as I pulled out a pan from the cupboard.

River realised her phone was ringing and looked at her caller id. She looked up at me she had a worried expression on her face. I gave her a nod and she handed me her phone as I gave her a look to start on the eggs.

I clicked the answer button and walked out of the kitchen.

"Hello?"Tom voice boomed from the phone.

"Hey Tommo."I spoke over the phone. "What's up?"

"Hey Zara."He spoke over the phone. "Where's River? She never came home last night."

"We had Matt Damon on last night and you know how addictive he is."I answered with a lie. "And we fell asleep she is still sleeping."

"Oh okay as long as she is okay."

"I'll tell her when she wakes up you called?"

"Yeah and tell her to call me back thank you."

"Bye Tom."

"Bye."

I ended the call and let out a sigh. I heard the noise of someone throwing up and it could only be Adeline. I walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"Elena asked behind the door.

"It's me. What's up?"

I heard the whispering argument behind the door then I heard the door unlocked and Elena looked left and right then took a hold of my arm and pulled me into the bathroom.

She closed the door behind me I looked to see Adeline stood there her hair a mess and her face looked pale as ever.

"What the fuck is go-"

Adeline cut her off. "Have you seen my enagmenet ring?"

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"She lost it."Elena said with a sigh. "We are trying to figure it out where it could be."

"It might be in the club."I said with a shrug.

"It's bound to be somewhere there to be honest."Elena said.

I looked at Adeline and she looked somehow different. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Her lip trembled and a tear slowly trickled down her face. "I-I slept with Chris last night."

I looked at her in shock she couldn't of. She started to cry, me and Elena pulled her into a hug.

"I'm the worse person ever! I cheated on Lee."

"It'll be fine don't worry."I assured her.

"I'll go ask one of the guys to take me to the club and I'll look for the ring."Elena said with assurance.

Elena P.O.V

"What did you leave in the club?"Zabdiel asked as his hands were in his jeans pocket look fuckable as ever.

ELENA STOP THIS STOP THIS!!!

"I left a ring."I replied as he pushed the door open. "It's very important."

"What kind of ring?"Zabdiel asked as he stopped in his tracks.

"Its important and we need to find it quick as."I replied as I looked at him.

He nodded, he opened another door to see the club empty and stools on the tables and etc.

But the bouncer from last night was there with that plump guy having a drink. He looked our way.

I quickly turned around to Zabdiel and looked at him.

"What's wrong?"Zabdiel asked as he looked at me with a worried expression.

"Nothing. I'm going to look in the toliets I might of left it there."I replied and walked into the other direction to the bathroom.

I walked into the bathroom and looked around in there this was stupid because Adeline never went to the toliet all night.

I turned around ready to leave only to see that bouncer stood in front of me.

"Aren't you that dame from last night?"He asked showing his yellow chipped ass teeth.

"You have me mistaken for someone else."I replied sweetly trying to go.

"I don't. I remember those eyes of yours."He took a hold of my wrist.

"Let me go!"

"No darling we are going to have some fun tonight!"

"ZABDIEL!"I yelled on the top of my lungs as the guy pushed me onto the bathroom wall. I was kicking and screaming on the top of my lungs this wasn't going to happen to me again.

The bathroom door flung opened and before I knew it that guy was on the floor with a punch to his face. I looked up to see Zabdiel stood there looking hot and angry as ever. I want him...

He looked at me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine thank you." Unexpectedly I hugged him really tight. "Thank you."I kept on repeating.
