Forbidden Fruit

Night Out

I checked my phone 10pm then I saw a text alert from Brie. Hey Queen I'm coming over and we are going out. Love you!  I groaned and turned Netflix off brushing my hair and putting makeup on. It's been 3 weeks and neither Steinhardt nor Elijah were making any moves. It's because they aren't interested. There's that annoying voice in my head that was always so rational. I heard the front door open and Brie coming up the stairs. She threw a piece of fabric at me "here put this on so we both look edible." I held up the fabric groaning

 "this is supposed to cover me?" Brie laughed and threw black heels down too. 

"No that's the point, duh now hurry up." I went into the bathroom sliding into the red dress. Oh my god my mother would kill me. 

"Brie I look like a hooker."  She didn't reply just smiled then took off downstairs. I sighed taking my purse, spare key, and phone. We drove in silence then arrived at a nightclub. No way we are getting in there. We got out and made our way to the Bouncer he looked at Brie and smiled opening it then he looked at me

 "Have fun," I briefly nodded Brie is going to have to explain that one later. We made our way to the bar. 

"6 Shots of vodka and 2 vodka and sodas." The bartender didn't even ID Brie instead happily gave her the drinks.

"Free of Charge Sweetie." No fucking way. Did she fuck every worker here? 

"Brie first off are your trying to kill me? And second why is everyone treating you like royalty?" I said obviously baffled, Brie laughed taking her shots. 

"I'm in a relationship with the owner and you waste your weekends watching Netflix. You are an adult now Skye have some fun it won't kill you." Brie said handing me one of my shots. So I knocked them back one by one. Knowing full well I hadn't eaten earlier and I was so going to make her eat her words tomorrow morning. 

It didn't take long for the alcohol to kick in and my head started spinning. Times like these I wonder why I don't drink more. Brie pulled me to the dance floor where there was a small crowd of people who were undoubtedly in the same state we were in. The music was thrumming through my body so Brie and I began to move our bodies to the beat. I felt someone come up from behind me wrapping there hands on my waist. Usually very unwanted touching but I was feeling to good. I felt someones breath on my ear I smiled. "Little young to be in here, why don't we go back to my place?" I turned to see some creepy old guy who reeked of brandy. 

"No thank you," I pushed away from him making my way back to the bar. I felt a hand grab my wrist the Brandy guy pulling me to him. 

"Don't be such a fucking tease." I tried prying his hand off my arm but I was to drunk and my strength obviously was nothing compared to his. Then I felt a hand wrap around my side. 

"There you are sweetheart is this man bothering you?" The grip on my arm instantly released me and Brandy guy left. I quickly turned to see who my mysterious knight in shining armor was. I looked up to see Mr.Stein. I felt my adrenaline pick up sobering me for a second. 

"Thank you." I said curtly then made a run for the door as soon as I burst through the doors the cold air hit me helping me feel sober. Then I felt his presence behind me he leaned in I felt his breath on my ear. 

"See what that mans problem was is he was asking. But I'm telling, you are coming home with me Skye." I felt my heart beat quicken oh god. He pulled me to a car then helped me in we began to drive in silence. 

"I don't this is appropriate." I said trying to swallow the panic and the pile that threatened to spill. 

"Oh right and it is appropriate to tease me all night, wearing a dress like that, grinding on random guys, and let's not forget underage drinking." He said clearly angry at me. I decided it was best if I stayed quiet. Instead I pulled my phone out texting Brie. 

Hey Queen, I got a cab home don't wait up for me I'm safe Love you. 

I had a very good sense that we were not going home, well my home. We pulled into a drive way Nick opening my door for me. When we made it inside he disappeared so I made my way to his kitchen. I opened the fridge it was almost bare, ugh men. I grabbed the eggs and then searched for a pan. 

"What are you doing?" Nick said from his position in the entrance way to the kitchen.

I pointed my spatula at him, "you didn't take me home so I'm making myself at home." I went back to focusing cooking my egg it seemed to be taking forever. I hear laughter then felt hands grab my waist pulling me back. 

"Works better if you turn the stove on." ugh I knew in my drunken state I had forgotten something. "Go sit down." and so I did as he made me scrambled eggs I ate them in silence as he watched me then I headed to the living room where I picked a couch and fell asleep.
