The Knight And His Princess

CHAPTER 15

Rainah's POV

"Thank you" I mumbled as I stepped out from the cab after paying the fair. I closed the door and looked up at the big board where 'Urban Adventure' was written with neon green lights. I groan when I saw the long queue outside the main entrance. It will take eternity to reach inside this place. As I was heading towards the end of the line I felt a hand grabbing my elbow suddenly, I turn around to see who is it.

"Janet! Alas!! You scared me" I exclaimed calming down my rapidly beating heart. She pursed her lips in a thin line and looked at me with serious expressions.

"Let's go" she said and started pulling me towards the entrance. But what about the long queue?

"My boyfriend works here as a bartender so he helped us to get in" as if she sensed the question that formed in my head, I heard her voice once we were already inside the club. I was welcomed with boozing music of latest album, sweaty bodies of the people were moving in the dance floor who were already seems to be wasted for tonight. Although it's only pass seven in the evening but still the dance floor is seems to be already occupied by wild party lovers. Neon pink lights all over the walls and ceiling made the place look more interesting and darker. I am already getting the vibes in here.

We pass by the sweaty bodies as I saw Janet heading towards the Corner most booth from where we can watch everyone easily without getting any attention. I took a seat looking around as I felt Janet sitting next to me. I turn myself towards Janet's direction to show her that I am ready to hear what she wants to say.

She sighed softly and checked her watch, "How are you Rain?”

"I am doing well, what about you?" I asked her with a smile. She sighed again and holds my hand that was placed on the table and squeezed it.

"I am also fine" she looked around raising her neck a little bit in the process as if looking for someone, "Janet what do you want to tell me?" I asked her directly to which her hold on my hand unknowingly tightened up a bit.

"We just have to wait for a while and you will know everything, trust me" she said looking into my eyes, “anyway let's have some drinks, hmm?" she said and I hesitantly gave her a nod.

"I will have shots of tequila and what about you?" she asked me leaving my hand.

"Umm something that doesn't contain alcohol" I said sheepishly and a weak smile form on her lips, "What about Virgin Michelada, is it okay with you?" she asked me as if I know what that is...

"I don't even know what that is, I am good with anything" I shrugged and she went to the bar to bring our drinks. I was busy roaming my eyes around the place when my gaze fell on a group of girls squealing over something. By their body language I can tell that they are very excited, one of the girls was pointing towards a certain direction and the others were giggling and squealing looking at the same direction. I followed their gazes and saw a group of young and handsome men sitting inside a VIP booth enjoying their drinks. By looking at them I can already guess why these girls were so excited. Although their faces were not quite visible from where I am sitting but their powerful aura is saying it all; they look rich and powerful, and has a good physique.

I decided to look for Janet as I don’t have anything else to do since I am not at all interested in ogling those hunks. She just disappeared among the crowd and I am starting to feel nervous. I don’t come to these kinds of places often, and I am not comfortable around these places as well.

As I was looking for her, I saw a familiar figure entering the club, my eyes instantly lit up as I saw him, after all its been a while we saw each other. But the smile that slowly made its way to my lips didn’t last long as I saw him holding hands with someone, and by someone I meant a girl; starting from her blond cloudy hair to her s*xy figure hiding under that short tight fitting red dress that leaves hardly anything to imagine, I have to tell that she is a bombshell.

But why Luca is holding hands with her? Despite the distance between them and me, I still can notice the seductive smiles both were sharing at that movement. Is he’s cheating on me. Thinking of that I instantly felt insulted.

I saw them making their way towards the drinks counter. They both took their seats on the high stools placed near the counter, not so far from the place where I am currently sitting. The girl raised her butt from her seat and gave Luca a hungry kiss on his lips. From where I am sitting I can easily see what she is wearing underneath. Ewww…

I suddenly had this feeling to puke somewhere.

Anger and hurt took over my mind as I decided to confront him then and there in front of his doll. I made a few steps towards them hardly controlling myself to puke because they were still making out without caring for the rest of the world. As I reached them I pulled his collar from the back and made him face me only to place a loud slap on his cheek.

Sense of shock was evident in his eyes as he never ever expected me to catch him red handed making out with this caked up doll here in this club. Tears were threatening to come out of my eyes, but I didn’t let it out, I don’t want to show him how hurt I am. What does he think of me? Am I a robot who doesn’t have any feelings?

“Rain…” he whispered holding his cheek where I slapped him, still not coming out of his shocked state.

“What the f*ck” I heard the doll speaking but I could care less about her right now as I didn’t break my eye contact with him. Slowly he came out of his trance and straightened himself clearing his throat.

“Rainah what was that slap all about” he started, “and how dare you slap me?” he raised his voice a bit and despite of the loud music in the background I can still hear the roughness in his voice. Seriously now he has the audacity to raise his voice on me.

“Yes I slap you and I don’t regret it” I said glaring at him, I don’t know where this confidence in me is coming from but I am not complaining about that right now.

“Really Luca?? Am I so worthless to you that you will go around kissing people just like that?” I asked him deeply regretting the decision I made to date him back then.

“Excuse me you little pudding, he is NOT kissing people here, I am his girlfriend and he has every F*CKING RIGHT TO KISS ME” she yelled at my face with her spite coming out of her mouth, thankfully I am standing a bit far from her otherwise I would have been a mess by now.

“Boyfriend? Luca??” I looked at him only to find him glaring at my face.

“Yes boyfriend, I am her boyfriend and I am very proud to say that this sexy woman here is my GIRLFRIEND” he emphasized on the word girlfriend breaking my heart in the process.

“Then who am I?” I whispered but he still heard and I heard him laughing mercilessly on my face.

“You? Well I am ashamed to say that you are my EX” he smirked, “what do you think ha, that a guy like me would be wasting his time with a chopstick like you forever. C’mon at this point you have to admit that I have a very big heart to favored you with my time, now you can at least tell your friend that you use to be my girlfriend although that would definitely hamper the image of my taste and preference but who doesn’t made mistakes in their life?” he scoffed arrogantly taking me aback. Wasting his time? Doing favor? Does he really think of me like that?

“Luca—“ I was cut off by him again.

“Oh stop it, stop with that meek voice of yours okay. I had enough of you, I don’t want to create a scene so you better leave” he said holding my hand tightly to which I winched, “otherwise I won’t think twice before throwing you out of this club. Get it?”

“Luca you’re hurting me” I said winching at the pain he is causing me, what is wrong with him. I tried removing his hand when I heard a velvety voice from my behind sending shivers down my spine, making my whole body froze.

“Rainah…”

Luca look behind me with a confuse expression looking at him from head to toe, but I was frozen right at where I was standing.

It’s him… Arthur

“Rainah?” I heard his voice behind my neck and by that I realized that he now standing very close to me.

“Is everything okay” he asked but I just winched when I felt the grip on my hand tightening. May be he noticed it too as I suddenly heard Luca screaming out of pain. I look down and saw a big hand on Luca’s arm holding it so tightly that I can easily see the veins popping out of it; I just hope it didn’t get burst. Luca left my hand and tried to remove Arthur’s hold from his arm. Speaking about Karma here…

“You, who the hell are you. Leave my hand you motherf*cker” he whined making me cringed at his tune, does he even know who he is taking to?

“HOW. DARE. YOU. TOUCH. HER.” Arthur emphasized on every word gritting his teeth. He clenched his jaw glaring the s**t out of Luca. If looks could kill, then by now I would have been attending Luca’s funeral wearing a black dress. I saw him gulping out of fear and pain as Arthur still didn’t leave his hand.

“You mean this chopstick? The hell I care, now leave me” he still managed to speak making me feel so humiliated in front of Arthur, “I don’t even want to touch her, she just make me feel so disgusted” he said making a disgusting face, “Dude if you’re thinking of dating this girl then let me warn you she would never give—“ before he could finish I ran away from there as it is so humiliating to stand there listening to those venomous words coming out of his mouth in front of Arthur.

My vision got blur as I made my way towards the exit.

I can’t take it anymore… I just want mother earth to swallow me right now, I don’t want to face anybody.

One question I am asking myself again and again…

Am I so worthless??
