In The Club

Welcome to The Club

A/N: I wrote this one shot for two very good friends of mine and thought I would share it with you all too. Thank you Lady_In_Writing & kylosLCS7 for pushing me to write Sackler! He's so far outside my comfort zone I just hope I've done him justice!

You walked into the club and immediately regretted your decision. Why did you let Jessa talk you into this? This bullshit scene was not where you wanted to be,  AT ALL . Nope, no way. Turning to look at Jessa, you wondered if you could lie and say weren't feeling well and maybe ditch now before you paid the cover. You turned and grabbed her arm, pulling her close so she could hear you over the pulsing music.

"Jessa, I'm not feeling so well, I think I may just grab a cab and head back to the flat." You met her eyes and knew she didn't believe you. Sighing, you rolled your eyes and followed her through the throng of people.

She smirked at you as you approached the bouncer before turning and giving him a sexy smile and running her palm up his forearm. She casually flirted with him before he waved you both in, never checking your ID's, which would have been clearly of legal age, or taking your cover. Jessa was always able to work her way in anywhere. It was annoying beyond reason when you really thought about it.

Shaking the thoughts from your head, you made a beeline for the bar. A shot was exactly what you needed to loosen up. Smiling, the bartender approached you, "What can I get you?"

"We both need a shot of tequila. Whatever your cheapest one is, dressed with salt and limes, please." You set down a twenty and he picked it up. A few moments later, he returned with eight dollars in change and the two shots.

Jessa picked up her shot and smiled, "To getting fucking LAID!!!!!!" She yelled the last word, and all the men in your general vicinity turned and stared at her. You covered your face with your hands, embarrassed, and ready to die. The last thing you needed was every guy in the bar to know you were here in search of a booty call.

Rolling your eyes, you pulled your hands from your face and picked up your shot, tinking your glass to hers, licking the salt, and downing the liquid. You quickly bit into the lime, trying to neutralize the taste of the alcohol. Still, it didn't really offset the taste of the cheap tequila. A shiver ran through your body at the taste of it.

Jessa smiled before she turned and took off towards the dance floor, you did not follow. That was not your scene, and she knew it. Laughing to yourself, you grabbed the barstool and sat back on it, watching her dance with a blonde-haired man who had approached her. She looked relaxed and was returning his advances, so you let mother bear instincts relax for a moment.

The knee of the man on your right brushed yours, and you apologized at the same time he did. He laughed, and you looked up into the most beautiful hazel eyes you had ever seen. The lights behind bar reflected upwards off the floor, glowing a bright white, causing the bottom of his irises to have an almost light green tinge to them white. The rest were flickered with shades of warm browns. They were by far the most mesmerizing eyes you had ever looked into.

He shrugged awkwardly, and you realized you were starring, "I'm sorry, I'm Y/N," You said, sticking out a hand.

He looked down at your hand and tilted his head to one side, his floppy brown hair falling into his eyes as a crooked smile set on his face. "You don't come here often, do you?" He asked as he wrapped his hand around yours, shaking it. It was massive in comparison, at least double the size of yours, engulfing your fingers almost beyond sight.

You scoffed, "Am I that obvious?" Your eyes rolled back into your head in annoyance at how out of place you felt.

Sighing, he pushed off from the bar, "Come with me, I'll show you a secret upstairs." He arched a brow at you and extended a hand towards you. "I'm Adam, by the way." You stared him down, deciding if you wanted to trust him or not before you extended him your hand and let him pull you through the crowd.
