Star World

five

Violet Blake POV

To celebrate the first week of Star World, Scarlet, the boys and I decided to go to a new club in town. It's in West Hollywood and is called Sin. I decided to dress fancy and wore a short body con black dress with sparkles and a low neck line. I wore black pumps. I had light eye makeup with a little eyeliner and red lip stick. Scarlet wore a short white corset dress. She wore pink heels and had her makeup gold themed. The boys all looked very attractive, as usual, in button ups. We walked into the club and were immediately met by flashing lights.

"It's so early we have all night to party, fuck ya!" River exclaimed to us as we walked towards the bar. I looked up and saw a tall man covered in tattoos walking down a spiral staircase from a closed off area. I couldn't see his face well, but something about him gave me a bad vibe about him and this place. I looked around to see more men covered in tattoos leaning along the walls around the club. Don't get me wrong, tattoos are hot as fuck, but can be intimidating. "Time for shots!" Scar cheered happily as the bartender set a tray in front of us. I decided to ignore the off feeling and have a good night with my friends.

We all took a shot of tequila, then Easton and I decided to dance for a bit. We danced for a little while some of the others joined us. I looked over to see Rocky having the time of his life hooking up with some random girl. I laughed and decided to go sit at the bar to take a break from dancing. I sat there smiling watching all my friends have fun while I was about to order a drink. I turned to the bartender to order a drink and the guy next to me goes, "Actually, how about a shot instead?" Smiling at me creepily. "Sure I guess" I told him, not wanting to turn down free alcohol. I turned to watch my friends as I waited for the shot.

I went to grab it, but I saw a tattooed hand push it away from me. The tall guy I saw walking down the stairs from earlier was standing there starring at me. "Don't drink that shit. I watched that guy slip something into it. Get the fuck out of here you fucking creep before I have to break your face," The tattooed guy said threatening the guy next to me. The guy got up and ran in another direction. "Sorry about that love, didn't want to see a pretty girl like you get taken advantage of. Can I buy you a drink? You can order it and watch them so you know I'm not a pig like that other guy." The guy said to me as he took the seat the creepy guy was previously sitting in. I was slightly shocked by the whole occurrence.

I could have gotten fucking kidnapped or raped, and a guy I was suspicious of saved me. Wow I need to learn to not be so judgmental. "Thank you, holy shit thank you so much. Shouldn't I be buying you a drink considering you just saved me?" I said to the man scanning his face. He was HOT. He was tall probably around 6'2 and had tattoos all around and some big nice lips, and an adorable smile. "I did save you, so my reward should be buying you the drink because that's what the guy should do. I'm Preston by the way." He said to me reaching out his hand to shake mine. "Violet, and yes you can buy me a drink. Sex on the beach please." I said back to him shaking his hand.

"So what are you doing here all alone?" Preston asked me while taking sip out of his own drink, bourbon. "Oh, I'm actually here with some of my friends. They're just dancing. How about you? " I asked him. "Just out for a drink. What do you do?" He asked, watching me intently. "I actually own a male strip club with my best friend, over there." I tell him while pointing over at Scarlet. He looked her up and down and said, "Wow that's interesting." I smiled and took a long sip out of my drink wanting to feel more than the tiny bit of a warm feeling from the alcohol. "Nice meeting you Violet, but I have to go. I'm sure I'll see you around." Preston said to me with a wink and walking off and back up those stairs.

"Hopefully." I mumbled to myself, my eyes following the very attractive man I just met. I finished off my drink and decided to join the others on the dance floor. I was shocked by what I was witnessing. Scarlet and Riley were making out! Easton and Shay were laughing their asses off dancing around them. I grabbed my phone and started videoing them and put it on my snapchat with the caption "A night we won't forget I guess?" Scarlet is gonna either laugh her ass off or kill me in the morning. I started to feel the alcohol from my drink and ran over to Easton and Shay and started dancing with them.

After awhile I felt eyes on me and looked around until I was met with a pair of emerald green eyes watching me from the upper level. It was Preston, the guy from earlier. I smirked at him, then continued dancing with my friends. Once it got to be around two a.m I decided I wanted to go to bed. "Scar can we go now? I'm exhausted!" I said to my best friend who was now sitting on Riley's lap. "Nooo you can go, I wan' party still. See you tomorrow." Scarlet slurred to me. "I'm ready to go, let's get an Uber Vi." River said to me. The Uber dropped us off and I jumped into my bed. I took off my makeup and knocked out for the night.

I woke up in a very good mood, surprisingly not hungover. I got a text and checked my phone;

Dumb Bitch: can u pick me up from Rileys pls

I rolled my eyes at Scarlet's text because she never even texted me that they got to Riley's. At least they're alive. I quickly brushed my teeth, washed my face, threw my hair in a pony tail and went to pick up Scarlet. I was wearing half black, half white sweats and a white crop top. She walked out of Rileys house wearing a giant t shirt, a giant pair of sweats, a messy bun, and was holding her dress and shoes from last night. She got in the car and gave me an annoyed look because I was laughing at her, "Rough night?" I asked her sweetly. She just grumbled and put her head against the window.

"Were going to Beachwood Cafe. We have shit to discuss and I'm hungry. I brought you slippers cause I knew you would only have the heels." I told Scarlet handing her her slippers. "Thanks Vi, you're a lifesaver, I need coffee." Scarlet mumbled to me from against the window. We walked into the Cafe looking like a mess, but I honesty couldn't  care less, I needed good food. We sat down and I ordered an orange juice and Scar ordered a coffee. "Sooo Is Riley good in bed?" I asked her with a grin. Scarlet took a long sip of her coffee and rolled her eyes, "Of course he is have you seen him? Have you seen his body?" She replied to me with a laugh.

"So how did that even happen? Looks like there's no rule against bosses hooking up with their employees at Star World." I said to Scarlet, waiting for a reaction. "Sorry? I don't even know. We were dancing for fun and then he leaned in and kissed me! I was drunk so I just kissed him back without even thinking. It's not like we're going to date or anything though." Scarlet explained, having more energy now from drinking her coffee. The waiter came and I ordered French toast while Scarlet ordered an omelet. Healthy bitch. "So, I met this really hot and mysterious guy last night." I told Scarlet. "No way! Where was I?" She asked me. "Uh hooking up with Riley dumb ass." I told her and she laughed realizing that's what she was doing the whole night.

"Anyway, so I'm at the bar about to order a drink and this creepy ass guy next to me offers me a shot. So I'm like sure fuck it you know, free alcohol. And I was watching you guys dance you know just waiting. So I go to take it and this guy stops me and it was weird cause I saw this guy right when we walked in, like he stood out to me. Anyways, so he's like 'don't drink that this creep put something in it' and then he fucking threatens the guy next to me! I was like holy fuck this hot, tall ass guy covered in tattoos just saved me and I could have gotten kidnapped. Like that was so scary." I tell her and she looks at me with her jaw dropped, food falling out of her mouth. "Holy shit Vi, why didn't you tell any of us? What the fuck! The guys would have protected you, god that's so scary I'm so sorry!" Scarlet says to me freaking out.

"I know you guys would have helped. I didn't want to ruin the night for everyone, plus Preston had saved me and I was more aware now." I tell her and see her smiling at me. "What?" I asked, referring to her smile. "Preston, how adorable, you even got his name! I'm proud of you." Scar tells me. I roll my eyes then continue, "Let me finish my story! So after he offers to buy me a drink and was saying like I can watch them make it and shit so I trust him not to drug it also. So I let him buy me a drink whatever and we talk for a couple minutes then he like, randomly leaves and winks at me and says he'll see me around.

I hope he was meaning it like I don't know maybe he'll find my instagram and dm me or something, but he was probably saying it in just a friendly way to say bye. But later on I look up and he was upstairs watching me dance!" I tell Scarlet the rest of my story. "Damn sounds like the beginning of a love story to me. Was he hot?" Scarlet asks. "Yes! He was like 6'2 and had sleeves of tattoos on his arms. He had like bright green eyes and floppy chocolate brown hair. He had such nice lips and a nice smile too." I tell Scarlet. "He does sound very attractive. That's like almost a foot taller than you that's so cute!" Scarlet exclaims.
