To Love Thy Enemy

Chapter Six

    Nothing like a little late night sneak out, was this possibly going to get me in trouble? Of course. Did I need to get away from this place and my bodyguard who made me want to fight him myself? Yes, each day I had to put up with him was another day I was tired of dealing with him being a asshole. Like do you even smile? Is that a thing or did something just suck the joy right out of his evil soul. I fixed my hair as I looked in the mirror, I wore it in beach waves to frame my face, I did my makeup lightly and wore a burgundy bodycon dress with lace detailing and spaghetti straps, my heels were black and made me appear taller then my 5'9 height.

        I smirked as I had already told my Poppa since he was going to be away for the night that I was probably going to sit around the house and watch a few movies and go to bed early. That meant that he left a dumbass guard downstairs, who I had already checked was passed out on the couch and dear old Noah was off for the night. So I was on my way out and my Uber had just told me they were at the location I set up down the road, I snuck out and was on my way to a club downtown.  

    When I arrived I checked my makeup and walked up to the door of Venom, the bouncer looked at me and I smiled speaking the password that I heard one of the maids say earlier that morning. Without checking my ID he nodded and I walked in, as much as my Poppa loved to try to keep me in the dark about the world. I did know a few things and as I got older I started putting things together, noticing the work that my Poppa did. The business trips, the late nights, the events with scary people....My father's death.

        I shook the memories in my head away and walked into the dimly lit bar, light streams bouncing around from wall to wall, bodies pressed together as many danced, the bar was crowded with people, and it was wall to wall. I took in the sight as a wide grin spread across my face, I walked over to the bar and ordered a drink. The guy at the bar not checking my ID meant that the bar was not going to see a mark on my hand to deny me, when I finally got the bartenders attention I order a Hennessy and Red bull taking a glorious swig of it and washing it down, god did it taste amazing. 

    I took my drink, paid for it and walked away from the bar, my body started moving along with the music that was playing as I sipped my drink. I finally got to relax a little as I felt the music start to take over, dancing was one of my passions back home. I could dance the night away and make it home before my Poppa even noticed I had slipped away during the night, I didn't have many friends. Mostly kids who's families had something to do with my Poppa, it felt more like forced friendships then anything. But here with the music playing I was able to feel free, there was no one to stand over me, breath down my neck as Noah had been doing the past few days. 

           I had finished my drink and set the glass down as I moved to the middle of the dance floor, bodies pressed against me as everyone swayed to the music. I closed my eyes at one point and when I opened them, Nadia was standing in front of me grinning. "Oh well look what I have found." She said in my ear over the music, my eyes went wide "Fuck."

    She turned pressing her small frame against mine and leaning her head on my shoulder "I won't tell if you dance with me." She started moving and I grinned "That I can do." 

        Nadia was gorgeous and everyone around could see it, she was sort of tall like her brother, she had long bleached blonde hair, brown eyes, and a dazzling smile. Just like her twin brother she had a dragon on her neck, except hers was visible and you could follow the detailing of it down and see were it wrapped around her hip, from her very cut out and sheer dress. She was to many very enticing.

    I didn't have this back home, yes I had friends and people to hang with from school. But the atmosphere was different I knew that with Nadia I didn't have to worry about any word of me getting back to Poppa, I could dance the night away with her and it would be fine. No worries of Noah or any other bodyguard being in my way from other people, with Nadia I could be wild and free and she was going to encourage every bit of it.

        After what felt like hours on the dance floor, we moved to VIP and sat down, there was a girl who approached us and sat down next to Nadia, who pulled her close and began to whisper in her ear making her giggle. It was no secret that Nadia liked both teams, there were many times she would be caught in the barn with one of the maids daughters making out. After a while her family just stopped trying to change it because that was just her preference. 

    Pretty soon the section was filled with people and a man by the name of George came to sit by me, he was kind of cute in a Ron Weasley sort way. He was cute with red hair and a pretty smile, the more we talked the better the drinks got and when he leaned in to whisper something in my ear, I did the same. I pushed the little hairs behind my ear and placed my hand on his leg and just as I was about to say something, someone grabbed my hand and pulled it off of his leg and when I looked up at what he was looking at my eyes got wide. 

Noah.
