SWNOVELS Chapter Chapter Thirty-Two
An hour and a half later Jen goes back to the bar with me to get more drinks as mum stays on the dance floor. We both love going out with mum but it is annoying when she is getting more attention from guys than you do. If only they knew how old mum is haha. Once we get to the bar and we see the barkeep give us the eye and me and Jen looks at each other and then starts laughing. Jen turns back to the barkeep.
“Ten shots of vodka and one Jager-bomb and a fishbowl please.”
The bartender gives Jen a million-dollar smile nodding his head before getting to work, The next thing I know I am seeing someone come up behind Jen but then I see that it is Damon. He puts his finger to his mouth telling me to keep quiet. Haha, this is going to be good.
He snakes his arms around her waist and I see her going to actually punch him but she calms down. Then I hear him whisper something in her ear.
“My rose, as beautiful as ever.”
I see Jen relax into Damon’s arms and she turns around with a sly smile on her face.
“You’re lucky you didn’t just get punched in the face.”
I see Damon fake hurt and quickly take his hands off of Jen holding them to his heart.
“You would hit me for hugging you, ouch that hurts.”
“Really!”
Next thing I know I am getting poked in my cheek and I turn around to be met with the gorgeous face of Nik right next to me like his face is not even an inch from mine. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek because I have seen that our drinks are ready I turn and poke Jen on the shoulder since she is looking at Damon. She turns and I point to the drinks and she notices what I am meaning because she grabs hold of a shot and said.
“To a fun night!”
“To a fun night!”
I reply and we both down the shot. Once the shot is gone I turn to Nik and lean on him. Then Jen starts laughing.
“What you laughing at sis?”
She couldn’t stop laughing to be able to tell me so she just points and we turn and see mum grinding on some guy that looks more our age. Haha, we all burst out laughing at this and once we finish laughing the music stops and the DJ takes the mic.
“Okay everyone time for a couple of singers, okay first up is Jen.”
Jen turns to me so I just wiggle my eyebrows before she gets out of Damon’s embrace leaving him pouting and I laugh whilst she makes her way onto the stage. I know exactly what she will sing.
“Let’s go, girls, come on
I’m going out tonight, I’m feelin’ alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Want to make some noise, really raise my voice
Yeah, I want to scream and shout
No inhibitions, make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain’t gonna act politically correct
I only want to have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Colour my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The girls need a break-tonight we’re gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don’t...”
All the girls started singing and dancing to the song because it is a classic song and I see Jen make her way back to the bar towards me, Nik and Damon. Once she gets to me I notice she still has the mic in her hand I look at her with a huge smile especially since I love karaoke. She hands it over to me without saying a word and I know she probably has already picked the song for me. I make my way up to the stage and see that most of the crowd has stopped dancing to wait for the next singer. As I make my way up onto the stage I hear a few wolf whistles but then I also hear a very loud growl, my head shoots to where Nik is and I know he is pissed with my outfit but I don’t care he can’t tell me what to wear. As I get to the DJ he shows me what I will be singing and I smile to him.
“Okay that was brilliant Jen. Let’s see if your sister has the same talent as you. She definitely has the similar looks, let’s get this going now we have Michelle.”
The song starts.
You’re a song written by the hands of God
Don’t get me wrong ’cause this might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place where all my thoughts go hiding
Right under your clothes, is where I find them
Underneath your clothes
There’s an endless story
There’s the man I chose
There’s my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
’Cause of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you, I’m running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone, when the party’s over
We will still belong to each other
Underneath your clothes
There’s an endless story
There’s the man I chose
There’s my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
Underneath your clothes
There’s an endless story
There’s the man I chose
There’s my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl
For being such a, hey
I love you more than all that’s on the planet
Movin’, talkin’, walkin’, breathin’
You know it’s true
Oh, baby, it’s so funny almost don’t believe it
As every voice is hangin’ from the silence
Lamps are hangin’ from the ceilin’
Like a lady tied to her manners
I’m tied up to this feeling
Underneath your clothes
There’s an endless story
There’s the man I chose
There’s my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
Underneath your clothes
Whoa
There’s the man I chose
There’s my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl
For being such a good girl”
Once I finish the song everyone applauds me and I bow and walk off stage and walk towards the bar where Jen, Nik, and Damon are stood. Once there Nik pulls me straight into a bone-crushing hug, pushing his face into the crook of my neck. We all make our way to the dance floor as the DJ starts normal songs off again. Jen’s dancing with Damon and I am dancing with Nik. We were dancing for about half an hour and the next thing I know mum walks up to us.
“There you girls are I have been looking all over for you two. What are these two doing here, I thought this was a girl’s night?”
“Well, number one mum. If looking all over means doing god knows what with that guy over there then SURE! And number two if it was a girl’s night proper then you wouldn’t have walked off with that guy when you knew we were going to the bar for drinks.”
I say a bit angry to mum for saying stuff like that. I need to go home and sleep because this isn’t good for me.
“I want to go home. See yall later.”
I start walking towards the door when a hand slides around my waist. I can’t feel any sparks so it isn’t Nik. Well, who the fuck is it then? I look up and see some ugly 6-foot man. Ewwwww. I try twisting out of his hold but he has a very tight grip of my waist. So I decide I have had enough and I swing my arm around and land one straight to his left jaw. He goes down like a ton of bricks and luckily didn’t take me with him. In my anger I see someone else coming up to me so I do the only thing I can think of and swing for them as well. They grab my fist and I feel sparks, I immediately regret swinging for them because it is Nik. He lets go of my hand and snakes his arms around me whilst I am shaking.
“What the hell happened here?”
“She just knocked this fucker out with one punch and then nearly hit me. What the hell is wrong with her?”
I can’t see anything all I can see is outlines but I know who the outlines are.
“Shit, how much has she drank?”
“Same amount as you hasn’t she?”
“I think so, but we gotta get her out of here unless you want to see very different emotions than what she normally is like.”
I feel myself being dragged towards the exit. I know it is the exit because I can feel the cool refreshing air coming to me. I get out of Nik’s grasp and run like the wind to the outside. Once I am outside I look up to the sky and see the stars twinkling. Yes, I have my vision back. I look back to where I came from to see mum, Jen, Nik and Damon all just coming out of the door. All but mum and Jen looks out of breath like they have been running. But Jen and mum don’t look like they have been running at all haha weird.
“What’s up, guys. Isn’t it a beautiful evening.”
“You’re asking what’s up with us when there’s something definitely wrong with you tonight.”
“What do you mean? I feel great.”
I say with my arms spread out to the sides and spinning in a circle. Jen comes up to me and puts her hands on my cheeks so she can look into my eyes.
“Thank fuck it is only the drink that has made you be like that. I don’t think it could be drugs but we better get you home just in case.”
“Okay let’s go home.”
We all piled towards the Jeep.
“One minute. How did you guys get here?”
“Oh, we ran.”
“Bull shit because if you ran here from the packhouse then you wouldn’t have been tired running through that hallway to out here after me.”
I reply back to Nik who said that they ran and he looked confused.
“What do you mean we didn’t run through the hallway we walked.”
“Ha, you and Damon looked like you had been running.”
I say with a huge yawn. Damn, I really need to get home before I fall asleep standing. I open the jeep door and we all pile into it. I am in the back with Nik next to me and mum on the other side of him whilst Jen is in the front passenger seat and Damon is driving the Jeep. I lean my head on Nik’s shoulder and close my eyes. Slowly I fall into a deep slumber where I probably can’t be awoken.
