Parties|16

"So You're his date?"

"No! He just asked if I wanted to come and I accepted. If you don't want me to go-"

"No, It's fine. Just be careful."

Even though he shrugged and leaned back against the headboard trying to look like he didn't care, I knew he did. I stepped out of the bathroom and went to give him a kiss on the cheek. "If me going with him makes you uncomfortable I won't go." I said.

"I'll be honest it puts me in edge a little. But not because I don't trust you. I just don't trust him. Especially not at a loud party with lots of people and lots of alcohol." He sighed. I would've invited him to come too but I didn't think I had the authority and he was supposed to be going out with his sister to catch up.

"But you should go. Have some fun, but please don't drink too much and wear this bracelet." He added. He grabbed the bracelet he usually wore and pressed a button on it so it fit my wrist. "Cool."

"If you need help press this button right here it'll alert my driver." He said. "Okay, you Sure you Okay with it?"

"Yeah."

I gave him another kiss on the cheek and went to get dressed. I pulled a black off the shoulder dress that stopped mid thigh and tried it on. I paired it with some black heals before stepping back into my room.

"How do I look?"

He looked up at me and groaned. "Too good. I don't think I want you to go anymore." He dramatized.

"Pull It down a bit though." He added seriously. "And wear that leather jacket you have."

When 7 o'clock rolled around Javier walked me outside to Sebastians car. He was dressed in black jeans, a black shirt, and a black leather jacket. "Nyla." He greeted with a ghost of a smile.

Javier kissed me on the cheek and gave Sebastian a kind of threatening look. Javier was like a puppy so him trying to be threatening looked like a baby attempting to pretend to be mad. "Bring her back in one piece and keep your hands to yourself."

"No problem, Javi." Sebastian said mockingly. Javier took a threatening step forward but I grabbed his hand to get his attention. "I'll be fine."

He nodded and leaned in to capture my lips. He kissed me slowly but I knew he had the intent of showing Sebastian what was up. "Alright let's go before I hurl."

I pulled away from Javier with a blush gracing my cheeks and got into Sebastians car. Before I knew it we were pulling up to a large club. Sebastian opened the door for me and lead the way to the door where he was granted immediate access. It was packed inside and I wasn't prepared to deal with the challenge of navigating through the people.

But it's like people scattered at the mere sight of Sebastian just to be sure he had a path to walk through. With the way these people parted you'd think he was Moses. He grabbed my hand to keep me from getting lost in the crowd. When we made it to the VIP area he was immediately greeted by a tall man with blonde hair.

If I'm not mistaken he is the infamous Laurence Love. "Seb! My man, you made it. And you brought a date." He said as his eyes wondered from my face all the way down to my toes. "New fling?" He asked.

"No She's my Assistant. Stop looking at her like that." Sebastian said seriously. Laurence held his hands up in defense and smiled.

"I'm Laurence, and you are?"

"Nyla."

"It's nice to meet you Nyla," he smirked while holding his hand out to shake. "Likewise." I replied as I placed my hand in his.

He shook it briefly and as I went to pull away he lifted it. Before he could kiss the back of my hand sebastian pulled my hand out of his. "Someone's pushy. Let me get you both a drink." Laurence said.

About an hour later I was mingling with Sebastian's associates and I was only lightly buzzed since Sebastian limited me to three drinks. And by three drinks I mean one drink that could be evenly split into three shot glasses.

"How'd you end up working for Sebastian?" Laurence asked. I was sat on a very comfy couch between Laurence and some random women. Sebastian had stepped off to the bathroom.

"I checked to see if his company was hiring, applied for the assistant position and after interviewing I got the job." I shrugged. "You two fuck yet?"

I choked on the martini I was sipping and he hurriedly pat my back. "Oh god...Jeez. No we haven't, I have a boyfriend."

"Ohhh."

I drunk the rest of my martini and Laurence left saying he was going to get me a refill. Even though he was a bit of an asshole he wasn't that bad. I pulled my phone out of my bag to text Sebastian just as he took a seat beside me. "I was just about to text you, you were gone for a bit."

"Sorry, I had to take care of some business."

In the...bathroom.

I decided against it and smiled gracefully when Laurence returned. "I was sitting there Sebastian." He said as he handed me a martini.

"Well now I am." Sebastian shrugged as he took the glass from me, nearly spilling it. "And that was for her."

"Oops now its for the plants."

I face palmed as Sebastian poured it out into a near by plant. "I need some air. Thanks for the drink."

I headed out of the VIP section and through the sea of people until I was finally outside. Partying with Sebastian was boring because he's so controlling. I know Javier asked him to make sure I was alright but damn can i live a little bit.

After a minute or two I went back inside but I didn't go back to the VIP section, I went to the bar. I ordered a shoot of tequila and down it once I got it. "I thought I told you only three drinks."

"I know but I'm grown. I can handle my liquor." I replied as Sebastian stood beside me leaning against the bar. I stood up from the chair and stepped onto the dance floor.

I danced in the crowd of strangers while holding eye contact with Sebastian. He didn't make a move he just watched me. "Girl you're on fire! Want a partner?" A Girl in a wedding dress asked. She had a 'Just married' sash and a plastic crown on.

I shrugged and we laughed together while dancing. We danced together but we never touched. We were doing the one, two step and milky rock while laughing and joking.

My fun was cut short when gun shots rang out. I didn't have time to process what was happening because I was being thrown over someone's shoulder and carried out of the club through some back entry. As I was being carried out I struggled in the persons grip until I saw familiar shoes and a tattooed hand in the pour lighting.

When we got outside I took in the alley we were in and tried to catch my breath. In the process I felt everything I had eaten prior begin to rise in my throat. "Are you Okay? Are you hurt?" Sebastian asked frantically. I didn't answer instead I turned away and threw up in the nearest trash can.

Sebastian was at my side holding my hair back as I let it all out. "Oh god. This is embarrassing." I groaned when I was done.

"You alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"No one touched you right?" He asked. I shook my head no. "Okay come on."

He broke out into a sprint down the alleyway but I couldn't keep up if I wanted to because of my heels and his long legs. "Slow down, damnit. I only just threw up  all the energy I had."

Sebastian turned to look at me before coming back and picking me up bridal style. He ran down the alleyway and kept walking until we were at the car.
