Closer

Chapter 26: I'm the Boss

I laid down on my bed as I stared at the ceiling of my room. It's been hours since I came home from school and I was contemplating whether I should go to sleep or not even it is a Friday night. The clock says 9:45 PM. I know I shouldn't have passed the opportunity when the girls invited me to go with them in a party. Yes, you've heard it right. They're even more outgoing than I am and I know it's kind of disturbing for me.

Rolling to my side, I still didn't feel comfortable so I stood up and went to my closet. Changing to something for party, I decided to wear a black leather jacket with white fitting shirt underneath. Then as for my bottoms, dark ripped jeans and DMs. Taking the phone and wallet with me, I headed downstairs towards the garage.

My punishment has been lifted for almost a week now and I don't know what's wrong with me, denying the girls invitation. I quickly dialled Ally's number, telling her to send me the address. When I received the message, I took a matte black helmet and gloves, and Andrew had the Ducati beside him.

"Don't even attempt to drunk drive Sam" He gave me a pointed look. I raise my hands in defense as I nodded my head.

"Yeah. Yeah. Tell mom that I'm out with the girls and would probably got home by morning already" I informed him which he nodded. I started the engine as it revved itself to life. The GPS indicated to a house 30 minutes from mine. Pressing the horns twice, I left the house as fast as I could.

The cold air brushed against my skin as I drive past through the road. What if Aphrodite's with her idiot of a boyfriend? Aargh! Why didn't I think about it?! One thing came to my mind and that is to find someone I could tag along. Smirking to myself, I know someone that could definitely turn everybody's attention.

I stopped to the side to park and quickly dialed Amanda's number. If you're wondering how I got it, I saved her number when I asked it from Claire. The phone was ringing, and I diverted my eyes to the time. It's been 15 minutes since I drove from home. Then I heard the phone being picked up.

"Hello?" she asked a bit of unsure. Great! It's her number.

"Hey, Amanda" I greeted her as I turned off the engine of my bike.

"Sam?! How'd you get my number?!" she asked making me flinch. I knew it's a bad idea. I need to find an excuse.

"Your phone was in your calling card" there I said it.

"But it's my business phone. Nevermind that question" she sighed. "What do you want? I'm in a middle of a date" I heard the water from the faucet running. She must be in a washroom.

"Where are you now?" I asked while using the visor's information about her location.

Andrew's one sneaky engineer. I gotta give him props for that. Then, I started the engine once again as I relocated the GPS to her location. It was 10 minute drive towards downtown. She's in a 5 star restaurant so I know I feel a bit underdressed but I don't care. Once I arrived at the location, I parked my Ducati, leaving the helmet hanged on it.

I looked at the high window for Amanda. When I noticed the brown-haired girl, I called her once again. She excused herself to answer the call as her partner continued to eat.

"Look infront of you" I said as I faced her with a smile. She frowned a bit but when she saw me waving my phone, her eyes went wide in surprise. "Tell your date that you're taking a leave because your boss called" I said more like ordered her. I could see she was hesitating. I ended the call as I made my way inside.

"Excuse me, do you have any reservations?" the host assigned in front asked. He must be new since I've never seen his face. One of the managers made his round and shocked as he saw me.
