Chapter 35: Poker Face

(NOTE, I might skip the time a little so I can get this chapter over with as I don't want to drag it out as this part of the story was only meant to be short. So apologies in advance ☺️)
"So, it's true what they say then?" Declan asked circling the rim of his glass with his middle finger, and I smiled "Whats that?" I asked biting my lip. "Opposites attract" Declan said in a deep, gruff and seductive voice and I began to panic.
He was about to kiss me, I had made it too easy. All I could think about was Liam and Ryan, it was like whole Ryan thing again. Only this time I was playing with fire, I knew I'd get burned if I carried on. I reached for the only thing stopping this from continuing as his lips touched mine........

(Earlier that day..)
It was the next day and I was ready for my first mission back as a serpent, nerves weren't a thing. I made sure I looked the part, I put on my black leather pants. I threw on a red long sleeved leotard underneath and my boots along with my black leather jacket. I did my makeup and just brushed my hair, "Chloe, are you seriously going out like that?" Stevie asked flexing his jaw and I laughed "I'm nearly eighteen Stevie, I don't need protecting and besides I think I look hot" I joked and he rolled his eyes "Just be careful" and I sighed "Yes sir" and then after I was done getting ready I jumped on my bike and I knew the location and plan. All Declan had to do was show up, I hoped it didn't need to do anything I'd feel guilty about.
The flirting I can do no problem but physical stuff like kissing, nope. Like I'd kiss that disgusting excuse of a human being, I have my dignity. Well, what's left of it. Stevie handed me the gun and I pouted "Really, Stevie?" And he chuckled "You don't have to use it, just threaten him. Call it, a back up plan" Stevie said practically shoving it in my hand, I rolled my eyes and took it. I put it in the deep pocket of my jacket, I made sure everything was good and I was ready. I took my keys and got on my bike, Declan wasn't expecting me I'm to surprise him. Believe me, he'll get the shock of his life.
It wasn't too long of a ride although it felt like it took me a decade to get there but I did, the club was the typical club you'd expect . It had neon lights and smoke coming out the doors, the room smelt like alcohol, cigarettes and perfume mixed with cologne. A few heads turned as I walked in and I looked around for Declan, I saw a guy harassing a worker and like the feminist I was, I went over.
"Excuse me miss, is this guy bothering you?" I asked and she nodded shyly and he winked at me "I mean, check out the talent! Why didn't I see you first? Your just wow" he was clearly drunk and he tried to take my jacket off.
I glared at him and slapped his hand, I didn't break eye contact. He gulped and then I got in his face, standing on his toes as I did. "Touching my jacket, big mistake" I whispered with a little snarl, and the girl began to get anxious.
The guy became all manly "What are you going to do about it? Little girl" he threatened and I laughed wickedly as I held his hand and began to bend his finger back, glaring as I did.
He began to squirm in pain, and I smiled "Not so brave now are you?" I taunted and he grunted "Your crazy" and I grinned "I know, and if you ever touch a girl in this club again. I'll do more than break your finger, got it?" I threatened and he nodded "I'll go, and I'm sorry" his words wobbled a little and when I heard his finger snap then I let him go.
The girl smiled at me and said "Thank you so much!" And I offered her a drink "How about I get you a drink?" And she nodded.
Then declan came in, he owned the whole room. Even I stopped to look at him, he had two men beside him. Dressed in suits like bodyguards, no doubt they were.
Declan wore a black turtle neck underneath his black blazer, he wore jeans and steal capped boots. I'll admit, he looked even hotter than the photo. Which could make it easier for me to flirt with him, I decided to stay sat on my stool. Pretend I didn't know he was here, I sipped my whiskey and played with my hair.
As I looked around and I even bopped along with the music, then Declan saw me. He smiled as he approached me, "What's a hot girl like you doing in a club like this?" Declan's voice was deeper than I remembered it had that same tone Ryan and Liam had only rougher. His green eyes glistened in the lights and his smile was charming, I laughed gently and said "You haven't changed one bit" then his eyes widened "Chloe Stone?! What are you doing here?! I have to say, wow!" Declan gasped in surprise and I giggled as I lightly touched his arm. "I know, I had a glow up. I mean, you got hot I have to be honest. Your not the skinny, spotty kid who used to pick on me" and he laughed "Your definitely not the little emo girl I secretly liked, I guess this is my karma for ever picking on you. I know I keep saying it but my god your hot" I threw my hand at him and chuckled "Oh stop it, anyway how've you been?" I asked sipping my drink and he smiled "You know how it is, it's the gang life for me but aren't you a serpent?" He asked and I shook my head "Not anymore, I decided to leave that behind me. My cousin was able to get me off the radar, I did some stuff that didn't impress the boss and then I got put in care" He stopped me when I told him I was in care. "Wait, your an ex care kid?" Declan asked and I looked down and replied "Yeah, my mother wasn't the best, you knew that because you used it against me. I nearly died because of her" I sighed and he looked at me sympathetic, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was that bad. How did you end up in care?, if you don't mind me asking" Declan asked and I replied "Like I said, I nearly died. I was left at home for a few weeks, Stevie was in Ireland at the time and I quit the serpents. I hadn't eaten in days, I felt sick and I passed out a few times. Dixie had left to go back to Derry to see a random guy she met online, my social worker found me laid on the floor. I spent a week in hospital, they said if I had been alone for three more days, I would've died. I had to go back home before I could be put in care, when Dixie came back Martha took me off her hands" I told him as I took a drag of a cigarette and he sighed "Wow, I really am starting to regret ever picking on you, I thought you and your mum moved abroad, I was told by someone. I had no idea you were in Ireland" and I shook my head "I moved away remember? I ended up in London, but I left that part of my life the day I moved into care" I lied, I had left the serpents but that was for a whole other reason. I had no choice, but I had to keep it up. "What are you doing now? I mean, I thought you'd never come back to Ireland" and I pouted "Ireland had its lows but it was home, it's when we moved is when it started getting worse. I was selling drugs and mum was knee deep in debt, I guess the serpents was an escape for me" I knew my sad puppy look would do it, he gave me a hug. And with that hug I smelt the cologne and the cigarettes, "It sounds like you've had a tough time of it Chloe, if I had known I would've helped. Those dirty serpents are no good for a girl like you" Declan lifted my chin with his finger, he looked deep into my eyes. A smirk painted his face, "A girl like me?" I asked and he smiled "Well, you are definitely gang material I hear your nickname is rover" and I nodded as I smiled "Yep" and he laughed "Wow, I wish I knew that one when we were kids" he joked and I scoffed "Only those special to me know that nickname, I guess you weren't one of them deccy" I lightly touched his thigh and I remembered I can't get drunk, because drunk me and hot guys do not mix. I should've learned from last time, Declan blushed a little.
"Someone's touchy feely, whats up? Starting to like me?" He flirted and I nodded lightly "Maybe, if your lucky enough" I winked and then it became more serious.
"So, it's true what they say then?" Declan asked circling the rim of his glass with his middle finger, and I smiled "Whats that?" I asked biting my lip. "Opposites attract" Declan said in a deep, gruff and seductive voice and I began to panic.
He was about to kiss me, I had made it too easy. All I could think about was Liam and Ryan, it was like whole Ryan thing again. Only this time I was playing with fire, I knew I'd get burned if I carried on. I reached for the only thing stopping this from continuing as his lips touched mine. I held the gun in my pocket and kissed him then I bit his lip hard making sure I made it bleed, "Did you really think this would end well Declan?" I smirked and he looked at me confused "If this is your idea of dirty talk, then it's a little extreme" he chuckled nervously and I pulled out the gun, aimed it at his head.
"Your gonna do exactly what I say" I clicked my fingers and the bodyguards I brought came over.
Declan became angry "You wouldn't dare!" He hissed and I laughed "I dare" then the bodyguards covered his face with a string brown bag and dragged him away.
I tossed the gun to one of them as I heard Declan's muffled scream, "I'll kill you Chloe Stone!" And I grabbed my phone as Declan became smaller.
"It's done boss, he's being delivered to you now, alive and definitely kicking" and he laughed joyfully "I knew you could do it! I can't wait to have fun with this one! You've done me proud rover! Very proud!" Bone cried excitedly.
I smiled "I always keep my word boss, I'll see you back in Dublin" I hung up and got on my bike as I left the club.
Liam's POV
Both me and Ryan decided to spend the day at the hotel, we got our plan together and slept.
All I could think about was her but I had to find Stevie's house, Mike said he has the address but wouldn't give me it. "Liam, you know the danger you'll put yourself in! Stevie is part of a gang, meaning he's a danger to you and Ryan. I've already risked your safety by not dragging you back to England myself! Just lay low and if you see her bring her home, that's all you have to do" Mike said and I huffed "It's the only option we got mike! Stevie won't hurt us, he respects Chloe and he likes me. Please mike, it's literally all we have" I pleaded and he sighed "I'm making a mistake but it's worth taking" he gave me the address and I said "Thanks mike" I hung up and Ryan was smiling. "Stevie's it is then"
I hoped he'd help us, I really did. Stevie is our last shot and the best one we have, I just hope she'll be there too..
