Lily POV
3 hours later and I’ve finally made it home after closing the shop. Now all I need to do is keep my mind busy so it won’t keep going back to that Italian God that has me still all hot and bothered. As if the fairy godmothers are calling, my best friend Lisa calls telling me she needs a night out to clear her head and that is exactly what I need so we decide we both need a night out and she will be around shortly so we can get ready together and head out for some fun.
Back home in Chicago I was never allowed to go out with friends and have fun as it didn’t fit the social class my mother was so desperate for me to belong to.
Not even 30min later Lisa turns up with a bottle of vodka ready to start the night. “I feel like tonight is going to be the night we find ourselves, I even got us VIP tickets to get into ‘Club Seven’” “Wait isn’t that the VIP club that just opened?” “Yes it is and we are going so let’s get hot” “How did you even get VIP tickets to a club like that? Wait do I actually want to know” “haha let’s just say a ‘friend’ from work gave them to me” “oh that friend, it makes sense now” “well we just need to have fun tonight and spread our wings”
Lucky we had those VIP tickets to get in there was no way I would line up for a long time just to get into a club. Walking into ‘Club Seven’ I feel so out of place like I don’t belong here but then again I don’t feel like I’ve belonged anywhere. With Lisa dragging me to the bar it isn’t long until shots are happening and it doesn’t take much for those shots to go to the head. Still feeling out of place I stay at the bar while Lisa heads to the dance floor with one of the many men who has shown her interest. It’s not long until someone takes up her seat “Are you hear alone?” I look up to see some spoilt looking guy looking at me like I’m some type of meal “I’m with my friend she will be back in a second” “Oh yes Lisa she is with my friend Zane told me to keep you company”. Lisa has always been open about having a active s*x life without feelings and how it makes her feel free, I wish I could feel that and maybe with those shots onboard I start to think maybe this guy might help me with that. “Want another drink?” “Sure another vodka”. Hoping that these drinks may give me the extra boost of confidence I need, I soon learn this guy named Liam is studying Law and has his whole life planned out for him with taking over his family company in the future which is exactly what I escaped from. After a couple of drinks Liam seemed to think he could start getting all hands on with me which seemed to sober me up a fair bit and using the normal bathroom excuse I got up hoping to get away from him. I didn’t even make it to the bathroom before I was grabbed and pushed up against the wall by the now creepily drunk Liam “I’ve brought you a couple of drinks you owe me” “I’ll give you the money” still struggling to get away from him “I don’t need your money b***h I have plenty” knowing that I’ve got no chance to push him away I use the knee in the balls technique to get myself away from him and run without noticing I’m going the wrong way and end up outside in some terrace closed off. It didn’t take Liam long to catch up and he looked mad “b***h you have no idea what you have done and now I’m taking what I want” without even realising he gets up to me and wraps him hand around my throat and hits me hard with his other. Things start to get blurry but I swear I seen those dark Italian God eyes just before everything went dark.
