Alcoholic Princess

Chapter 11: Big Dave

It was quiet.


Awfully quiet…


No one even dared to say a single word inside the car. My sighs were the only noise that ever heard in this on our way trip to Ayla’s work. I looked over at the driver’s seat and there was Ayla. She insisted that she will be the one who will drive because we didn’t know where she works. She never said an address and jump in the driver’s seat. Oh and by the way, this car belongs to the one and only Ryan.

He was about to disagree to let Ayla drive but when she saw her looks that could kill? Damn, he couldn’t handle it so he gave the keys to her. I looked behind me and there was Ash, squirming in her seat beside Ryan. They were bickering silently.


And to be honest…they look cute together…


Beside Ryan on his right side was a sleeping Darren with crossed arms. Not even bothered by Ash and Ryan’s small bickers. On the very last was Mark and Rey who was busy listening music to their shared in pods.

And lastly, Ben was beside me…this guy always sticks around me. I wonder why…

He looked into the window observing the surroundings as we passed by the lamppost and the people walking in the street. His side profile was only visible to my eyes. As I scanned every inch of his face, the familiarity was back again. I swear that I’ve seen him somewhere. Ugh, why couldn’t I remember anything!! Dammit, my head will start banging inside if I think too much.

I immediately averted my gaze to the ground when he saw my reflection on the window that I looked at him. Things got started awkward around us when that kiss happened but the unsettling feeling was still there. I cleared my throat, loudly enough to brought their attention to me. “So Ayla, what was this bar all about?”

She looked through the rear view mirror with one brow raised. “It’s just a small but fancy bar that helped me through my financials. Why you asked?”

“Uhm, obviously we don’t know anything about that bar you’re working at. What if that bar is illegal?”

Ayla looked at me in confusion, “do any bars are illegal?” she asked. “You mean bars full of mobs or mafia gangs? Do they exist?” Ash asked at the back and Ryan scoffed at her remarks. What if that bar would be full of criminals? I gasped, what if Ayla was one of them and didn’t even told us? Is that why she’s a rich kid?

Okay…that was stupid…


“Relax T, my boss is a kind man. He helped me a lot. No need for you to worry…” Hearing Ayla’s calm voice made me sigh in relief. “We have one crazy day right?” Ivo said made everyone agreed. Though I don’t what the hell happened in the cafeteria earlier but I’ll skip that part. “How’s your face Ivo?” Ayla looked over at her cousin beside her. “Your devil boy punched me that good but I’ll be fine at least Ben took a hit.” Ivo gave her a reassuring yet proud smile to Ayla. It’s also my first time that I saw Ben’s rage mode. “Hey Ben, thanks for saving Trina earlier…” Ayla said to Ben and flashed him a smile. “No probs…it’s the only thing to pay her back.”


Pay me back?


I watched Ben widening his eyes as if he said something that supposed not to. “Uh t-to pay her back from being so….k-kind to me, yeah” he stuttered and I can see his ears turned red. Then again…he’s cute. I giggled earning a smile from Ben. Not until a phone call interrupt our mood. It was Ayla’s phone that as ringing and she put it on speaker. “Hello?”


“Ayla! Where are you? The audience and the band were waiting for you.”


A man’s voice was heard on the other line. “I’m almost there D, oh and can you please reserve me a table for 9 please?” Ayla said through the phone. “Oh, you brought your friends with you? I thought they were only 2. Trina and Ash right?”


“This guy knows about us?” Ash whispered loudly behind us. “I think so…” the idea of Ayla being one of the criminals had come back to my mind and it’s giving me some chills. “Yes and I had met a few. So, do I get my reservation table?” Ayla said, waiting patiently for the man’s reply.


“Oh sure! Anything for Ms. A.” Ms. A? Who are we talking about?

“Dad is that Ayla!?” Then a girl’s voice appeared on the other line. Seriously, how many people knows her and us? This can’t be a trap…right?

“You better get your ass down here fast!!!” Her voice was piercing my ears!! What’s with all of this people’s loud and big voice!! “Calm down Shane, I’m already here.”

Huh? We arrived already? Ayla pulled over and park in the parking lot. Fancy cars and motorcycles were parked everywhere. I don’t know where this place is but it was neat and clean, fresh air as I stepped out of the car and it was like a city but small. How come I don’t know this place even though I leaved here in California. I guess I didn’t go out much. Except the other nights that I spend in a bar where I needed a boost from my breakups.

“Ryan, catch…” Ayla tossed the keys to Ryan and he catches it with one hand. The loud beats of the speakers were heard from here. People were not even bothered by the sound. Standing in front of us is a fancy bar. Before we get in, I stopped them. “Hold up!!” They turned around and looked at me. “Those people were wearing fancy dresses. Are you sure that we’re allowed to go in? I mean, maybe they need IDs or…something.” I said. That bar sure gave me chills.

“I think there’s nothing to worry about Trina…other people just wear casual outfits.” Ben said and shrugged but he’s right. Some of the people were wearing casual outfits. Maybe the thought of Ayla being the criminal made me panic a little. I really do have to remind myself that this bar is not dangerous and so was Ayla. “Oh come on Trina, this night is going to be fun. Besides, this is a fresh start for us.” Ayla said and pointed the rest of the boys.

“Okay…now you’re being weird. At first, you were sad. Second, you got mad to Ogre and Rey…”

“Hey!! Who you calling Ogre!” Rey shout but Ash ignore him, “third, you had a sudden outburst. Fourth, you were calm. Fifth, you were crying a lot earlier and lastly…your moods suddenly changed!?” Ash rapped all of what she says and everything she told was right. Then Ayla sighed, “I know this was so sudden but please just let me cool my mind a bit yeah? I was not in myself earlier and tonight I have to do me with no worries at all.” Ayla looked over at her cousin with pleaded eyes. Ivo was having second thoughts and either do I. Then, Rey suddenly went to Ayla and swing his non injured arm over Ayla’s shoulder. I was expecting an angry reaction but…nothing. She was just calm.

“Nobody can say no to this right?” He asked everybody with a cheeky grin. I looked at Ben, “are you sure about this?” He smiled, “I am 100% sure about it.” Mark cheered. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” I let out a giggle at Mark’s response. Then a hand suddenly supports me on the back. “Just in case if you stumble, I’ll be here to catch you.” My heart was ready explode out of my ribcage when he said those words. He’s sweet smile was again plastered on his beautiful features. Then I was interrupt by a voice of a man.


“Welcome to Big Dave’s bar and sing-a-long!!!” A man dressed in fancy tuxedo appeared in front of us with a big smile showing his pearly white teeth. His hair was waxed and a gold chained necklace was hanging around his neck. Standing beside the man was a teenage girl with a messy bun wearing a crop top and black ripped jeans. Her dimple showed when she smiled.

“Guys! This is my boss! The owner of the bar, Dave Alisson!” Ayla shout through the loud beats. Just by looking at this man, I already want to go home and sleep on my comfy bed. This man sure looks like a mafia boss to me. Before I complain, the people around here cheered.


Ms. A! Ms. A! Ms. A!


“Uh, does anyone had the feeling of running away because that’s what I’m feeling right now.” Ryan went beside me and I agreed to him. “I told you no complains…now let’s get this party started.” Ayla said and gave us a smile. Rey sure was hyped up already.

I guess we have no choice but to enjoy this night.

Oof…please send help…
