RAYA'S POV :
Walking into the club feeling the beats of the DJ'S bass through the floor sent tingles up my spine and a wiggle to my hips.
We pushed our way through the crowd and all stood at the bar and Luke the bar tender saw me and his face lit up,
"Ahhhh my favourite girls!!!" he says seeing Es standing next to me. "what can I get for you?? Oh one sec!" he held his finger to his ear peice, glanced at me and held his little mic attatched to his collar replying something back, walked back up to us with a grin and said "Boss said he's got the first shout for your group".
I should've known the cheeky bugger. Maximus must've filled him in already.
The whole group cheered "Thanks Boss!!!" s**t! That was loud! He's got to have heard that!
I smirked at him telling him,"I hope you got the quickest hands in the East Lukey boy, cos there's nearly 30 of us here!!" he blanched for a second and quickly recovered replying, "oh sweet cheeks you should know never to question my skills," he pauses,"any of them," he replied with his own smirk and a wink. Oh well played Sir!
I'm impressed, within a matter of minutes he had shots and chasers lined up for all of us, I threw my phone to him and told all our group to line up at the bar. We took up every inch of bar space. Ha ha, I think I've found my new possy.
"Lukey get ready to record this!!" I called to him. I stood up on one of the stools and yelled to the group above the music, "everyone shots and chasers on 3!"
I looked to Luke standing on the bar to get a good shot and fit us all in with a chuckle I shouted ,"One! Two! Everyone readyyyyy??!! THREEE!!!" We all took our shots slammed them down and followed with the chasers slamming those cups down in unison. The hit of 30 glasses on wood echoed through the bar area and everyone around us went silent then cheered. Which followed by a Mexican wave of cheers to the dance floor!
Well that was unexpectedly awesome! I grinned to myself.
Luke handed me back my phone with a massive grin on his face and I watched the video, ha ha that angle was so cool! Maybe Luke should add camera-man to his repertoire.
He cleared his throat making me look up at him and he gave a glace over my shoulder, I turned and looked up to see Uncle Raymond looking down smiling at me from his glass office which overlooked the whole club.
Archie, Es and Marcus were still standing with me while the rest of the group had followed the Mexican wave cheer to the dance floor.
Marcus and Es were getting closer talking at the bar and Archie leaned closer to my ear, I could feel his hot breath on my neck and holy crap! It felt like a shot of lightning went straight down my spine! Was that the alcohol or just his breath making my knees wobble and skin tingle?!
He leaned almost close enough for his lips to touch my ear and asked if I wanted to dance, he almost sounded nervous, why would he be nervous? We've known each other for years and danced together before! Weirdo. But Cute! Oh, so, sexily cute...shut up! Must be the shots talking already !!
I looked up to see Archie grinning down at me, s**t our faces were so close! I could aaalmost...nope! Control yourself you one shot hussy!
I smiled and gave him a nod. I pointed up to Uncle Raymond who was still watching, more intently now at the close proximity of Archie and I, and I couldn't help but grin.
"I just have to see Uncle first then I'll meet you on the dance floor!" I pointed up to Uncle Raymond, Archie's eyes followed where I was pointing and Uncle Raymond nodded to Archie, Archie gave him an acknowledged salute. Do they know each other? Anything is possible I guess.
I looked back to Archie, Es and Marcus and said ,"I'm going up to quickly say hi to Papa I'll see you guys in 10 on the dance floor!"
The guys nodded and Es yelled to me ,"say hi and big hug for me??!!" she waved to up to him and he waved back with a grin. He knows how important Es is to me and says it's rare and we should nurture that friendship for life. We both second him on that.
As my friends disappeared into the sea of dancers, I weaved through the crowd past the bouncers up the stairs to VIP level, then past the body guards with a smile and a nod and threw them high five and a, "Thanks dudes!" which was returned with a chuckle, high five back and a nod. Going up yet again, I headed towards the stairs to Uncle Raymond's office.
Standing at the top I looked down. Fark those stairs are a workout in these heels! Should've worn my fitbit it would've clocked as my workout and steps for the day!
I knocked our secret knock on his door, 4 quick knocks, a single knock, then 2 more quick knocks. Since I was tiny he told me to always remember that knock. So I have. Only polite to knock before entering anyway, right?
The door flew open and I was pulled into his office and wrapped up in a tight, warm hug.
The smell of warm cologne and soap filled my nose. It smells like home.
He pulls back smiling down at me with his big cool-green eyes and I return it with a smile just as big and he says to me with a deathly calmness,
"My bella Raya, who do I need to kill?"
I look into his eyes with a devious sly grin..."already on it Papa."...
