Allurance

Chapter Six

Tom's POV

She left me on the balcony alone and I watched her as she swayed her hips down the hallway and to my wing.
"What the fuck." I said to myself in awe. Did she really just flirt with me then leave me? That was what I was supposed to do!
"Mate I just saw her leave, how did it go? Did she buy it?" Haz eagerly asked as he hopped up onto the balcony. I walked over to the glass edge and looked onto New York.
"She looked gorgeous and so sexy. Then we sat down and began to eat and our conversation just flowed. We talked about our childhoods lightly which involved both of us lying, then just family, friends, careers - the whole lot. Then we had finished dinner and 3 bottles of wine and she agreed to dance with me. She picked a song - turns out she loves jazz like I do so suck it," Haz rolled his eyes. "Then we started dancing and it was so nice, then i said she was a great dancer and she said 'thats not all I'm good at' in a really sexy way, then I was like oh I bet. Then she fell over and that was funny then she started taking all sexy and seductively and our faces were close and my hands were on her hips and-"
"And?!" Haz looked like a kid listening to a horror story at a campfire.
"She said that if it was a date it would be very inappropriate and pushed me away by the collar then left." I said.
"Bro, it sounds like your plan backfired." Harrison said from behind me.
"What do you mean- fuck sake Harrison you couldn't of waited longer?" I turned around to see Haz eating the leftovers.
"Sorry, I didn't get dinner. Anyway, it backfired because it seems like instead of her getting the love bug...it's you who's got it." Haz smirked. "Come on!" I rolled my eyes and sat on the seat across from him.
"You were talking about her like you were starstruck or some shit! Usually when this stuff happens you get the girl, fuck her then kill her and that's the usual cycle." "She's got something in her. She's got fire, I can tell. All we need is to get her in a situation where she either gets put under pressure and cracks which means I kill her, or she becomes a badass and we can use her!" I said.
"I don't know Tom. I'll set a meeting up tomorrow morning and we can sort it out. But in the meantime, go to your room and wank off because I can see that from a mile away." Haz laughed.
"Fuck off." I tried not to smile as I threw a napkin on Haz and hopped off the balcony.

Gwen's POV

Okay I forgot tampons, no big deal I'll just go out and get some. I grabbed my bag and walked down to reception where I planned on leaving.
"Name?" The security guard asked me. Mind blank fuck what's my name?
"Guinevere Foster. I'm Tom's server I-"
"I know who you are. Mr Holland instructed us not to let you out." He said.
"I really have to go, it's an emergency." I said sheepishly.
"Stay inside or I'll call him." He threatened. "Call him! I don't care I-"
"It's fine I've got this." I felt hands on me as a woman talked. She pulled me away and pushed me through doors with the sign 'STAFF ONLY' and we entered a kitchen.
"What the- who are you?" I turned around and a young girl was standing there with her hands up.
"I'm Amelia Romano, please don't hurt me." She said.
"I don't want to. Why did you just take me away?"
"Because if you leave before you're supposed to, Mr Holland get's really mad." Amelia said. "I live here, I just need tampons because I forgot them when I moved here today." I explained.
"You live here too? Oh my god this is great!" The way she spoke made me realise how young she could be.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 16." She smiled as she got her bag from behind a counter.
"You're 16 and you live here? Why?" I asked surprised.
"I got a part time job then I worked like super hard and now I'm here full time. I was surprised too because Mr Holland hates me but he still let's me live here." She smiled bubbly and handed me two tampons from her bag. "Thanks. Well I'm in room 304 which is the room left to Tom's so if you want to do some friend bonding time we can." I smiled.
"I would love to! But I'm not allowed in his wing unless I'm cleaning and no one cleans at 10 or 11 at night." She chuckled.
"Okay I'll come to you what room are you in?" "018." She smiled.
"Cool, I'll see you soon." I grinned and ran up the stairs to my room. Thank god I have a friend I can talk to this about.
