Billionaire Obsession

Chapter 5

Alessia's POV:

After a couple of hours and a few drinks, I felt light headed and became a tittering mess. The club is electric tonight, everyone feeding off of the smiles and fast dancing. I could go like this all night long, feet moving to the crazy beat like they belong to the music.
         I move in my dress like my hips were made to sway, the sequins catching the disco ball light that twirls above - launching a every shade of the rainbow into the darkness.
                 Kelly and Rose are right next to me and we danced like no one was watching us but I knew I had many eyes on me- I couldn't ignore one pair of eyes in particular. 

Nicholas Martinez Knight. 

I kept sneaking looks at him and every time I did, his eyes were on me and he sipped on his drink. His eyes scrutinized me and at first I was self-conscious but after Kelly made me take a few shots, I was carefree.                              The music is all nineteen nineties but we're dancing like it's jive, twisting, turning, holding hands as we change sides. We're all grins, we look like idiots and we don't care. 

"I'm parched." Rose leans in and yells over the loud music. Kelly nods and grips both our wrists and we make our way through the dance floor to the guys.

"Done grooving?" Luke nudged me.

"I guess,"  I shrug and I plop down on the seat next to him. "What time is it?" I grab the bottle from Kelly and gulp it down in one go. i am starving.

"Nine," Jack replies.

"Can we go eat something? I'm famished!" 

"Same! Whatcha got in mind?" Rose asks.

I shrug, "I dunno, I'm new here. Show me the best place you've been to!"

"Indian?" Kelly suggests. 

We all shake our heads, "Not in the mood for that." Luke says.

"Chinese," 

I scrunch my nose. "Nope."

"Thai-" 

"Why don't we go with some good ol' pizza?" Luke suggests.

"Yeah, sounds good." I grin.

"Count me in," Rose and Kelly say.

Jack shrugs and nods his head. 

"I can't. I have a meeting." Nicholas says as he finishes his drink.

"This late?" Jack raises his eyebrow.

"Yeah, the Smiths are visiting and they have a proposal." He glares at Jack when he gives him a pointed look.

"A business proposal, idiota."

Jack laughs, "I didn't say anything."                                                           
Nicholas rolls his eyes and gets up, "I'm going to get going. Have a nice night."

"You too." I blurted.

He looks at me and the corners of his mouth lift ever so slightly, "Thanks, see ya."

And then he's gone and I'm left with crimson cheeks.

"Oooh," Kelly smirks suggestively.

I roll my eyes at her, "Shut up."

"What just happened?" Rose grins.

"He was being nice. That's all."

"Nice? I'm not even sure Nick knows what the word means." Jack chortles.
