NO LONGER RICHARD POV

He tried to kiss me. HE TRIED TO KISS ME. And I gave him the cheek. Okay come on, this guy is no different than the others. Nobody gets the lips. Well, nobody gets the mouth, let's put it that way. 'I am so sorry. I didn't... I mean... Sorry it just felt right.' 'It's okay, really. I just don't really kiss people on the mouth.' 'And that is completely fine, I mean that's okay. We are leaving soon.  Maybe see each other tomorrow. You can bring your friends, I'll bring mine and we could just have a fun afternoon. But only if...' 'Yeah sure. Give me your phone.' I give him the number to my business phone. No need to get personal. And the fact that Richard is perfect to the eye and seems like a good guy, doesn't change anything. He doesn't ask me to go home with him. And when they leave he still doesn't ask me if I want to come with him. Well he can go fuck himself, I don't need him. A little later the group of girls who were dancing in front of the booth, leave as well. The fuck tho. They are five very good looking boys, but this is a bit much in my opinion. It's NOT LIKE THEY WANT TO FUCK OR ANYTHING. 'We're leaving.' Kat tells me. 'I'm not. Good night. See you tomorrow.' I find my spot on the dance floor and within two minutes, I am dancing with a cute guy. And as I grind against him, I can feel through his jeans that he won't reject me just because I won't kiss him on the lips. 'Want to take me home, big boy?' I don't think he's much older than me, he might be younger. And he is willing, he nods.

RICHARD POV

'Wait a second, I forgot my jacket!' I run back into the club and I see Katarina and Isa staring at the dance floor. Slowly I sneak up behind them, to scare them. 'She never fucking learns. She doesn't care about herself.' Summer is standing in the middle of the dance floor. She is dancing with a boy who can't be much older than eighteen. And they seem very close. A guy comes and stands next to Katarina. 'Yeah, I know crazy eh. She and I used to hook up regularly. Not anymore. Too bad.' And then he's gone. 'What is she doing?' Isa turns around and pokes Katarina to get her attention. 'Sorry what? Oh fuck, Richard hi. She uhm. Yeah I don't know honestly. I told her to be careful and I don't think she cares anymore.' 'Anymore? What happened?' 'Not my story to tell.' 'I think she might be coming this way.' Isa states the obvious and we basically have to run towards the VIP booths to make sure she doesn't see us. 'Is she going home with him?' Kat just nods and looks sad. 'So she really doesn't like me a tiny bit? Why did she sit on my lap?' 'I don't think she doesn't like you. In the bathroom she told us she was going to fuck you, actually.' Katarina gives Isa a soft slap against the back of her head. 'What the actual f? I really don't get this girl.' 'She's a sweetheart, honestly. But she's changed so much.' Katarina looks sad. Now I'm curious. But I don't know if she's worth the effort. After getting my jacket, I tell the girls I need to go back now and that we'll meet up tomorrow. I find the other guys waiting for me in the cab. I tell them about what just happened. 'But Rich, you can get every girl you want. Why put effort in it?' Joel punches Erick against his arm. 'Erick please fix your puberty stained brain. Richard thinks this might be destiny.' Zabdiel says. Chris laughs and I stare at the back of the passenger seat. The fuck Richard, pull yourself together.
