from first love to worst heartbreak

Chapter 24

"Do you want a drink?" I ask Jace who is sitting on my bed and staring at the ceiling. He looks at me and his green eyes meet the glas filled with red wine in my hand.

"Sure, why not?" he amusingly smiles. I pour him some and hand him the glas.

"I'm excited to go to the club" I say and take a step toward my bed. I take a seat right beside him.

"Me too" he agrees and watches me finish the big amount of liquor in my glas in matter of seconds. "We will go in couple hours, will you be even able to walk?" he giggles and observes as I pour another glass.

"I'm not a cheap drunk, don't worry" I assure him and he almost sighs in relief.

"Do you know how I confronted that girl?" I suddenly ask.

"That girl?" he looks confused. I turn my head and face him, giving him a sharp glare. "Oh, you mean Christina?" he realizes.

"I just don't like having her name in my mouth" I note. "Anyways, this other day, I saw a man probably in his late forty's leave with her in a pretty expensive car" I tell him. He simply nods while paying attention. "Now, I'm not a talented guesser, but that was certainly not her dad or brother or uncle or grandfather" I say and finish my drink.

Surprised by my speed, he raises an eyebrow and then giggles. "Are you sure?" he questions and tightens his grip on the glas.

"If she has a normal family, then I'm definitely right. That man grabbed her on her butt and let go when they reached the car. So, I'm guessing, that it was not his father" I assume. "Unless he is a pervert who is in love with his daughter" I finish and feel heavy weight on my eyes as they are slowly about to close.

"That makes a lot of sense" he admits and finally finishes his drink.

"I swear to God, you are so fucking slow" I tease him and burst in laughter.

"Oh really?" he sounds like his question will be followed by a bet to prove me wrong.

"Yes, really" I answer and look directly into his dark green eyes.

"How about a little contest at the club then?" he asks in a seductive tone.

"What contest?" I mock him and put on an ugly face.

"A chug contest. The one who can the drink the fastest." he challenges me.

"It is on, Mister King" I say bravely. "So, are you ready to lose?" I provoke him.

"I'm ready to see you lose, if that's what you mean" he plays along. He stays up from the bed and takes his phone from my desk.

"What are you doing?" I ask him having no clue about his next action but this is when he puts on an 80's jazz.

"Dance with me" he doesn't mind to ask and gives me his hand. Before I get the chance to lift my body from the matrass, he grabs my hand and drags me gently from the bed and I stand on my feet.

"I don't know how to dance to this song" I inform him. He puts his hands on my waist without saying a single word and I put my right hand on his shoulder. He loosens his grip of his left hand on my waist and raises his hand in the air. I do the same and our hands lock in mid air. We slowly start to move and after the music gets faster, Jace takes my hand and spins me around and rapidly brings me back,

"This was totally fun" I say and let out a little laugh.

"Sure" he agrees. A moment later Jace gets a text message from Ty, informing that he has arrived on the campus. I offer Jace to tell him to meet us here and he agrees. Two minutes later, Ty knocks at my door and enters the room.

"Where were you?" I ask even though I already knew the answer.

"I was out with some friends" he answers without keeping any eye contact.

"We will go and get ready, see you later" Jace sounds like making an excuse. I nod and they exit the door. The atmosphere got a little weird with Ty and I wonder why.

By the time I pick out an outfit, it is late night. After getting informed to meet them, I grab my bag and exit the room. Stepping out of the building, fresh air waves on my face. I breathe the cool wind in and out. When I notice the three of them standing there, I start taking steps in their direction. By the time I have reached them, I greet everyone and hug them afterward. Lana is standing close to Ty. A little too close, which is very weird. There is a distance of an inch between them. We make our way to Jace's car and Ty and Lana take a seat in the back. While trying to figure out if their "behaviour" is normal or not, I sit on the passenger seat and tuck in my seatbelt. During the drive, I find myself feeling a little different than usual. The feeling is almost impossible to describe.

We arrive at our destination a few minutes later. I step out and see a line of people that leads to a thin dark door in front of which a large, tall man in dark clothes is standing. We walk towards the majority of people and stand in the back of the line. Jace stands next to me and Ty and Lana choose to wait behind us. I peek to the front of the line to get an overview of amount of people waiting.

"Isn't this club 21?" I suddenly start to talk and turn to face Jace.

"It is, our friend's father owns this place. I told him we were coming and he got us on the list." he explains. The wind messes up his blond hair and runs his fingers through it to fix it.

"That is very smart" I say and he giggles. As we continue on talking, the line moves forward and we finally get in.
