Chapter 40 ➵ high five

The red lights lit up the two men chatting at the bar with a glass of tequila in their hand.
They were laughing and talking about everything, just like before Zayn left. The trip had divided their team but had brought the two friends closer together.
'Do you even remember how life was before all these mess?' Zayn asked, taking a sip of the yellow beverage.
'When we had a normal life?' James laughed. 'Absolutely not!'
'I can't r...'
Zayn has been interrupted by his phone buzzing, both partners' eyes turned to the cellphone.
The atmosphere had suddenly darkened, the two men seemed worried, stressed, as if deep down inside they were expecting the worst from this simple message.
'Club Delux now, come alone & don't tell any fucking one!! S.' He read.
'What is this?' James asked.
'Nothing it's just Aly... I gotta go, see you later.' The Pakistani lies, high-fiving his friend.
Zee drove through the strip, wondering what Selena wanted and why did she asked him to come alone. Could this be a trap? Sure. They're never safe.

After 20 minutes of questioning himself, he finally arrived to the club. The lights were off and all the doors were shut, no music was played, it was all empty.
'What the fuck?' He murmured, grabbing his phone to call the boss.
'Where the hell are you Z?' Selena shouted in a whisper.
'I'm in front of the door!' He replied.
She hung up the phone and opened the door, she grabbed Zayn's arm and pulled him inside the Club.
'What's happening?' The golden-eyed man mumbled.
'Shut up!' Leena slapped him.
'What is your fucking problem?' He claimed.
The satiny-skinned women jumped on his back, she grabbed his hair full of gel and put her hand on his mouth.
'Don't say a goddamn word and trust the hell of me!' She said in his ear.
He nodded, hoping she would take her hand off but she didn't.
'Second floor, 6th section at the end of the corridor.' Selena ordered.
Zayn walked -with his friend on his back- to the place she indicated.
During the way to the 'room', Leena kicked him and pulled his hair, to make him go faster.
'I hate you.' Zee growled as he let her back to the floor.
'I know!' She smiled.
'What's happening Lee?' Zayn asked, looking at the metal door.
'I told you to trust me!'
'I do fucking trust you! But I won't be able to help your rubbish ass if you don't tell me what the hell is happening behind that goddamn door!' He swore, pointing his finger toward the gate.
'Alright...' she sighed. 'But i wanted to keep the suspense but you ruined the surprise, bro.'
Selena grabbed her keys and unlocked the sort of giant deposit box.
It was dark and seemed big.
'What the fuck?' Zayn repeated for probably the 4th time.

Without understanding or expecting it, as he approached the room, Selena by his side, two hands on his back pushed him into the room. He fell to the floor and without even having time to get up he heard the door slam.
'Selena?' He called his bestie, thinking she was in the room too.
'I'm on the other side!' She replied, leaning against the cold wall.
'Open that fucking door!' Zee shouted.
'I can't man!' The almond-eyed woman laughed.
'Did you really locked me here? You're completely out of your fucking mind! I'm your friend, damn it! I didn't even cheat on Aly or shoot anyone!' He yelled, banging the door with his tattooed fist.
'That's right... but I won't set you free until you are ready to go out.' The bossy woman smirked, twirling her brunch of keys around her index finger.
'What? You're high? I mean that high? Stoned?' Zayn claimed 'You gotta stop cocaine you're getting crazy, darling...'
'Is she?' Another voice laughed, a voice he knew by heart.
'Alyssa?' The trapped guy was surprised. 'Alyssa Margareta Jonshon what the fuck are you doing here?!'
'I'm fixing the mess you created!'
'What? What mess? I didn't do any fucking things!'
'Mmh...' A deep voice moaned backward.
Zayn tried, nevertheless to open push the door, even though he knew it was impossible.
'What...?' The same deep voice repeated, in a sleepy tone.
'Holy shit who the fuck did you locked me with? What did I do?' The golden-eyed man growled.
Suddenly the room was lit, Zayn turned his back, willing to fight the person on the back. He didn't expect seeing him and was even more confused.
'What the heck is he doing here?' Zee yelled as the other guy was just waking up. 'Next time you can take Spoon here and we'll enjoy this precious moment!' He ironically said.
'We won't set you free until you stopped your stupid fight!' Selena declared thought the door.
'Get me outta here, I have a life!'
'Oh shut up Mikey, I'm handling it!' She rolled her eyes.
'Who's gon' look after my wife and kids, huh? Stop your bullshit and let me out!' Mike screamed.
'Spoon is! Relax bro!' Alyssa sighed. 'We'll be back in 3 hours.'
'And if you haven't fixed the problem, you'll stay here the whole night, whole week or the whole month!' Selena added.

The two girls had left Mike and Zayn stuck in this room, none of them were talking and the time was flying.
'If you don't talk, you won't get out. And I won't serve you food.' Aly declared.
'Go to hell!' Her boyfriend kindly answered.
'I have nothing to say Aly!' Mike spoke.
'You do.'
Within 10 minutes, Zayn felt sick of the silence and indescribable mood surrounding the whole room.
'You started this whole thing.' He said.
'What? You did!' Mike contradicted him. 'You and everyone are always on her back like she couldn't defend herself!'
'What are you talking about?'
'Boston! It was like great the first few sec but then you started fighting with James for no reason and Aly plunged off and all of you were just acting like she couldn't handle what she was doing!' The blond-haired guy explained.
'First of all I didn't fight with Jee, he provoked me and...'
'He did but you deserved it! You fucking left for 6 months we all thought you were dead!' Mike interrupted him
'And Alyssa threw herself off the Millenium tower for fuck's sake! Of course I was worrying, it was the 48th floor!' Zayn continued, ignoring Mike's comment.
'Yeah but I mean she didn't even needed us to rescue her... She always deals with the situation no matter what and she always gets away!' He reported.
'I was scared for her! Because I care for her, you can't blame me for that!' Zayn defended himself.
'I know but...'
'But what?'
'Nah... Forget that...' Mike looked away.
'Do you really wanna stay stuck here all night?'
'Alright... it has been hurting seeing you were doing fine when I thought you were dead... like i was pissed off.' He admitted.
'But when you saw me you smiled and hugged me, you didn't seem mad!' Z added.
'Yeah what else should I have done? Slapped you? Believe me I wanted to sa badly!' The waiter laughed.
'Shut up! Everyone wanted to slap me... James has been mad for 5 months!' Zayn chuckled.
'And I've been mad at you for 2!'
'I had to left man...'
'I know you did... but if I'd have done what you did, you wouldn't have reacted in a good way!' Mike pointed out. 'You'd never have talked to me again...' he joked.
'But I'm a fucking idiot! God knows I'm not an exemple to follow!' The brunette agent mentioned.
'True!'
'In my defense, you gave me a hard time with Aly so we can call it even!' Zayn declared.
'Yeah but you left me no choice!' Mikey laughed.
'We forget?' He asked
'We forget.' The blond guy high-fived his old times friend.
'Aw you're so cute!' Selena said opening the door. 'I didn't think you'd have a crush on Mike, babe.' Alyssa teased him.
'He likes blondes...' Leena added.
'Aly, there's thousand of rooms here, do you really want me to prove how not gay I am?'
'Not in my building! You sex-hungry people!' The boss interjected, imitating a disgusted facial expression.
The two man finally got of the metallic room, Zayn posed his arm around Alyssa's shoulder and kissed her forehead.
'Just don't ever make that kind of plan with your idiot friend again.' He said.
'Don't ever fight with my friends and we'll see.' Aly replied.
Zayn laughed and they continued their way, followed by Mike and Selena who were discussing behind the couple.
