Claudia's POV

I charge into a packed out bar trying to look for my friend, she told me to meet her here and yet i can't see her anywhere. I pull out my phone to shoot her a quick text 'where you at hoe?' seconds later she sends me a reply 'at the back with the guys. get a drink and come join' i roll my eyes with a smile following shortly after as i walk up to the bar to order "Hi can i please have a double vodka and coke" the bartender shoots me a wink as he walks away to get it. I pay and then make my way through the crowd of sweaty people until i reach the back. I spot Darcy and she waves me over "there you are slut" we hug for a second and i take my coat off to reveal my outfit. I'm wearing a little black dress with some matching black heels as i had no other outfits. When in doubt go with the simple yet sexy LBD. "Ooooo Mami, you on fire" she shouts as she pretends to fan me.

I sit down next to her and the guys giving them both a swift hello. This is pretty much our usual gang on the Saturday nights that we go out. Me, Darcy, James and Luke. We are all friends from school and have pretty much grown up together. i finish my drink almost instantly and i lean closer to them to let them know i'm going to the bathroom. "I'll get the shots in then whilst we wait for you to get back" i wink at Luke, he knows i can never say no to shots.

I make my way through the crowd once again trying to get to the ladies bathroom and before i know it, someone shoves me. I almost fall but something or should i say someone catches my fall. I look up and my arms are being held by a guy "you almost fell, you alright?" i give him a simple nod "I'm fine, thank you for the help" i walk past him giving him an awkward smile. He was hot. I manage to make it back to the table where the gang are waiting with a tray full of shots. Now we're talking. We count to 3 before all taking the first one. our faces scrunch up at how strong they are. Gotta love Tequila. We do the last 3 shots and it only makes me want more. "more shots?" i propose and they all cheer "be right back". I walk back to the bar and get some more shots along with another double vodka and coke for me, a white wine for Darcy and two beers for the guys.

"We're gonna have to stop meeting like this doll" i look next to me, it's the guy from earlier. "You following me?" i raise my one brow, staring him down. He holds his hands up in surrender "okay, i might have seen you over here and i wanted to come say hi" i roll my eyes with a smile again as i pay for the drinks. "Hi" he leans his one arm on the bar as he turns to face me. i pick up the tray of drinks and head off "bye" i shout as i strut off, allowing him to check me out. I place the tray on the table and we waste no time in doing more shots and knocking back our drinks. We only do this every other Saturday and it's nice. Gotta let our hair down once in a while right?.

Before i know it we are all completely fucked. Nothing new. I grab my coat and we all walk out of the bar, it's 3am. I go to call a cab but can barely speak from laughing and the others aren't much better either. I walk closer to the road, stepping off of the sidewalk. Getting closer to the cars, i hear a car horn beep and an arm tugs me back. "Are you crazy" i hear them shout, i turn around ready to give them a piece of my mind and it's the guy from earlier. He really is following me.

"Okay, now you really are stalking me" i snort and walk away but he isn't far behind "you almost got run over" he walks in front of me making me come to a stop, i push him out of my way and continue to walk "guys, i'm gonna head home. Text me when you guys get back" they all look my way and wave me off. i manage to call a cab and he holds the door open for me, waiting for me to get in before he gets in next to me. "Where are you going?" he questions "Brookline Avenue, why?" i slur "great, i'm two blocks from there" he instructs the cabbie of where to go and shuts the door.

I start swaying in my seat feeling like i'm about to throw up, thankfully i don't. As the cabbie makes a sharp turn i sway once again and fall right into his lap "I'm sorry" i go to sit up but fall back down "it's okay" he shrugs it off like it's nothing but i can see him getting all flustered when i accidentally brush my hand against his dick as i sit back up. The cab comes to a stop right by my house. i get out of the car and thank the cabbie, handing him the money. As i walk off i hear someone shout after me "hey, you're never gonna get into your place like this. Let me at least help you get through the door" he insists and i nod.

He puts my arm around his neck and places his hand on the small of my back to help me walk, taking me by surprise. I can see him eyeing up my house, i can tell he's shocked. I work hard for my money and decided to get myself a house rather than cramming all my stuff into that small apartment. I pass him my key and he opens the door for me, helping me inside. "Thank you so much, you didn't have to do this-" i go to say his name and then i realise i don't know it. "Ransom, my name is Ransom" i blush slightly "I'm Claudia" he moves closer to me "be careful not to wake your boyfriend" he chuckles. his way of finding out if i'm single. "I don't have a boyfriend, i'm single" we get interrupted by the cabbie beeping his horn as if to get Ransom to hurry up. He leans in and presses a soft kiss to my cheek before saying goodbye. I wonder if i will see him again.
