Falling for my kidnapper - Lexi

Chapter 2: Jake

I wake up to a loud knock, it sounds distressed. I run to the door and open it. All our friends are standing just outside our door, looking at me with wide smiles, drinks in their hands and screams:” It’s holiday time!” Our friends are just amazing people. We have all knew each other since High School. We did drift apart a little after High School as they all moved away from our small town. But we talk on the phone daily. We even have a w******p group that we send jokes en memes on every day and just keep in touch about life. Two of Chris’ closes friends are here as well, they work for him but from other corporations in their towns, and they are married to my friends. Which makes it so much easier to see them. It makes our holidays fun to have some couples that are friends with both Chris and I.

They charge pass me and run to the bedroom and jump on Chris. “Wake up businessman, Europe is waiting for us!” Justin screams, while jumping on the bed. Chris opens his eyes and looks at all of us one by one. “What time is it?” Chris asks rubbing his eyes. I look at the clock and reply: “NO WAYS! It’s 10pm, I have literally been as sleep for 14 hours.” I was so shocked never in my life have I slept so much. “Well, there is a first for everything” Nina says as she winks at me. “Ok, ok guys give us 20 minutes to get ready we will meet you at the bar downstair.” Chris says while laughing at them. “There is a bar in your town as well, that’s boring. We decided we are all going to the best and most upper-class club tonight.” Kimberly says while grabbing my arm and nudging my shoulder. “Alright we will meet you in the lobby, now get out!” Chris says while play punching Albert on the arm. They all leave our suite. We quickly start to get ready. I put on my short baby-pink dress, with a high slit on the left thigh. A little daring but I mean, why not? I am not going to see the people in this town again in my life. I quickly put on some nude high heels and some light make-up, brush through my hair and I am ready to go. Chris has been ready before me, but he was back at his computer by the time I was done. I grab his arm and force him away from his computer. “Do you want them to come in here and jump on you? Let’s go.” I said. Chris just smiled and looked at me. “You are such a beauty. How can I say ‘no’ to that face.” He says and kiss me on my cheek.We make our way to the lobby and could hear our friends from the hallway. “Finally! you guys are here, now let’s get drunk in Europe tonight!” Tony screams, handing both of us a drink.We all laughed at how obviously drunk he already was and walk to the club they talked about. It was just a block away. We entered the club after waiting in the que for a few minutes. The club’s name was ‘Elite’ and boy did that name suit it so well. It was spectacular, just a breathtaking sight. The lights, the music, the décor, the people the whole place itself. I have never in my life seen anything like it, not even on TV.There were no words to explain. Nina, Kimberly, and Ava all gesture the leave the guys and go get drinks.I couldn’t hear a word they were saying over the loud music, but I understood what they meant. We make our way to the bar where the music wasn’t as loud.Kimberly pushed through a few people to get in front. “Girls, tell me what you want to drink.” She says. “Margarita!” Nina and Ava say at the same time. They laughed and high-fived each other. “I want a whiskey, neat please!” I say with full confidence. Although I am not a big drinker.Whiskey is healthier than other drinks and I mean I am on holiday so why the hell not. Kimberly hands us all our drinks and we make our way to the dance floor.We dance our hearts out, I have never danced before, even at our rave, I was just sitting at the bar. I was too scared to make a fool of myself and be mocked again for something. But the Whiskey was kicking in, so I just let my hips go with the sound of the music. After about an hour and 2 more Whiskeys, I felt quite out of breath. The guys were dancing on there own and the 4 of us was close to the VIP section because it was closes to the bar. I gestured to them that I was going to the bathroom, and they smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I made my way through the crowd and waited in the line. Everyone was so nice but a lot of people spoke different languages which I didn’t understand. After I finally went into the bathroom I sat there still out of breath, realizing how drunk I was. I struggled to find my brush in my handbag and kept laughing at myself for just feeling so dumb and dizzy at this moment. I quickly wash my hands and make my way out of the bathroom. I see a tall guy that is clearly a bouncer right before the entrance to the dance floor. “Sorry, do you have an outside space without actually going out?” I asked slurring all my words. He frowned down at me like I just asked him the dumbest question ever. “Like a balcony or something?” I added. His frown softens as he says: “Oh yes it’s that way.” He points with his finger, and I follow his direction. As I walk in the direction and see a glass door, I feel so dumb because there is a big neon sign saying “OUTSIDE LOUNGE AREA” how could anyone even miss that. I laugh at myself and open the door. The fresh air hits my face and I walk to an open table. There are quite a few people standing around smoking and chatting with each other. I flop down on the seat and close my eyes for a few seconds just taking deep breaths. “Privet, prekrasnaya ledi” A very deep and seductive voice shakes me to my core. I open my eyes and jump up at the same time into the arms of a muscular guy. He grabs my hips and I quickly push him away from me. He is a tall guy, around 6ft 7 with black hair, brown eyes, and an olive skin with a lot of tattoos even on his neck. He is very handsome and the way he looks at me makes me feel naked. “Sorry sir.” I quickly say, thinking why I just called him sir he is probably my age. “Oh, you only speak English?” He asked in a Russian accent. “Y-yes.” I studder. Why is he making me so nervous. He is very intimidating. He is wearing very expensive black tight pants, with black shoes and a black button up shirt with most of the buttons on top unbuttoned which exposes even more tattoos. “Well, I said hello beautiful lady.” He says with a one-sided smile, which shows his beautiful white teeth. I blushed and nodded. “Well, I have to go my husband is waiting for me.” I quickly say without thinking. As I start to walk past him in the direction of the door that leads back into the club, he grabs my arm quite aggressively. “My name is Jake, and you are?” He says sounding very demanding and stern. I feel my knees shaking and I look him in the eyes, his demeaner has changed, his eyes seem dark, but he has a smile on his face. “It was nice to meet you Jake, my name is Lexi.” I say feeling like I must do as he commands. He seems powerful, I don’t even know how to explain it. “What a unique and beautiful name. It suits you.” He says looking me up and down. I knew I needed to get the hell away from him, he is making his intention very clear. As soon as his grip on my arm loosens I almost sprint back into the club making my way back to my friends. I chose not to say anything, I don’t want them to tell Chris and the other guys they will make a big issue out of it, and I really don’t want to cause trouble in a different country where we will be staying at for the next 2 weeks. The girls were still going strong on the dance floor. After a few minutes. Kimberly offered to get us all drinks again. I offered to go with her, because I wanted to keep my eye out for that creep, so he doesn’t trap one of my friends as well. I looked around the entire time but couldn’t spot him. Seems like he left I thought as a sigh of relief escapes me. My phone all of a sudden vibrates in my handbag, as I take it out and look at the screen its Chris sending messages 1 after the other on the group chat saying “Girls come quick” “We are in the VIP lounge” “Come join us” “Tony knows one of the guys here and he arranged for all of us to join” “Quickly” I show the messages to Kimberly as she grabs our drinks and smiles. “Let’s go girl!” She screams. We walk to Nina and Ava. I show them the messages and they started jumping in excitement. Ava gestured us to follow her she knows where it is. We make our way to the VIP lounge. Tony is there talking to the bouncers, and they let us in. We immediately go to the VIP dancefloor. It is even more fancy than the other dance floor. Dancing and enjoying every minute of it. I look over and the guys are all just sitting on the couches chatting, laughing, and taking shots. Ava took all our handbags and placed it on the armrest of the couch the guys are sitting on. We dance and have a few more drinks. I try and forget about the weird encounter with Jake and just enjoy the moment. Thank goodness I will probably never see him again. The club is dying down a bit and the guys gesture it’s time to go back. I go to get my handbag but cannot find it in between the other handbags and just as I was about to panic, I see it laying on the floor behind the couch. I grab it quickly, open it and sees everything is still in it. Including all my money in my purse, I sigh in relief. We make our way out of the club and the sun is rising. I look at the time on my phone and it is 7am. Everyone is probably going to work but all of us is going to bed. Finally, after our goodbyes, Chris and I were in our suite. It was probably 5 seconds, and Chris was snoring. I tossed and turned a bit having an uneasy feeling, but eventually I fall into a deep sleep.
