The girl before she woke.

What a beautiful name.

Chapter 9

It didn't get better when they entered the building. She didn't know what to expect but it sure as hell wasn't this.The music was so loud that you struggled to hear the person next to you , on one side of the building there was a bar longer than half of the wall completely stacked with alcohol.There were at least sixty people gathered inside dancing, drinking and socializing. It was to many for comfort and when she lets her gaze fell on the second floor there are at least thirty more.

Feeling her anxiety build up again Rachel absentmindedly grabs a hold of Jackie 's hand. Leaning into her best friends ear she whispers "Don't leave me alone. I'm scared."

She didn't feel even a tiny ounce of shame admitting her discomfort to Jackie, hell if she wasn't holding her hand she might pass out from fear.

"It's okkey I was scared s**t less the first  time I came too. Just don't do anything to piss off the old ladies and don't pay any mind to the guys that came up to you.You don't hang out with the club so you don't owe them anything it would be a different story if you did associate with the club."

I nodded at Jackie trying to process her words.Don't piss of the women and let down any unwanted attention down gently.

"Come on scaredy-cat", Jackie said smiling at her as she leads her to the bar.

They sat at the corner of the bar and Jackie ordered four shots of tequila claiming it would take edge off and help Rachel to relax. She had to admit it helped her to unwind a little and even start to enjoy herself.

"Here ,Jackie said handing her another shot. "1,2,3", she counted down and we threw the drinks back in unison. About an hour later John finally made his presence known. He walked in and a few of the bikers that always seem to surround him followed behind, Don was one of them.

"If I can have everyone's attention", John commanded the room.

Rachel was astonished as the whole crowed instantly quit down and everyone gave John their undivided attention. Wow they must really respect John if he can receive such a response by just simply speaking up.

"We're all here tonight because we need to let off steam and take a break.Although we're only half way through the year it has proven to be a f*****g though one. So here's to loyalty , dedication and free booze". he lifted his hand with a drink in it and the crowd erupted cheers and applause.

"Here", Jackie handed her a beer . She took it from her yelling a 'whoop' and threw the cold beer down her throat taking a rather large sip.Jackie mimicked her actions and they grinned at each other clearly tipsy. Everyone had gone back to doing their own thing and as the night progressed the people got drunker , the music got louder and the bodies got hotter as people started to give in to temptation and lust making out all over the place.

Rachel had , had a few men came up to her trying to struck up a conversations but she took Jackie's advise and let them down easy. Most took the hint and moved on but there was two who kept coming back and it was starting to annoy her. Rachel and Jackie was currently on the dance floor swaying their bodies to the beat of the song. They had been going at it for four songs straight and Rachel couldn't decide if she loved the way her head felt like it was floating in outer space or hated it but either way she was glad that all the previous nervous was gone thanks to an inappropriate amount of alcohol.

After they danced their asses off to whole lotta love from Led Zeppelin they decided to make their way to the bar to cool off.They ordered two more beers, well more like asked since it was an open bar.The beer felt so good in Rachel's palm , so good that she decided to cool of the rest of her over heated flesh with it to.Dragging the cold glass bottle slowly over her skin, mostly up and down her neck and shoulders.She sigh wit pleasure , not even realizing she had closed her eyes in the process. Opening them up again she is met with two pairs of eyes one blue and one golden brown.

"Hey, the man with the brown eyes said giving her a sexy smile."My friend Donovan tells me your new in town. i'm Lincoln by the way nice to meet you".

Rachel looked up the tall man in front of her , he had a hair cut she had seen on many soccer player before. He was really fit and had light brown tan skin.Attractive! her mind screamed the word, and that was the only way to state it. The man was hot as hell and she didn't trust him one bit.

When her eyes finally darted back to his , she saw a knowing smirk on his face. He had notice her checking him out and her cheeks flashed red in embarrassment.

"So?" He asked and Rachel looked at a complete lost. He chuckled lightly and then she remembered he had said something. wait what was it again? She racked her brain and the name Donovan came up.

"Who's Donovan? She asked Lincoln dumbstruck.

Jackie burst out laughing , lightly slapping her on the tight with her palm. "Your so out of it Rach, his standing right in front of you."

Rachel darted her eyes to the man next to Lincoln , Don looked pissed as she gazed into his eyes and she gulped nervously.

"Don stands for Donovan ?" she asked looking at him.

"Yes " he replied dryly.

"Why?" she asked leaning towards him.

"Why what?" he sounded irritated by her questions.

To most people his demeanor would be off putting but to her it was the other way around. Because although his body language , mouth and voice said one thing, his eyes said something completely different and she noticed, All of a sudden she had this strange desire to touch him so she decided to cup the left side of his face.His body stiffen under her finger tips but she chose to ignore it.

 She leaned a little closer looking into his blue eyes,"Why would you let them call you Don if you have such a beautiful name Donovan?"

He was taken back by her question and seemed a little flustered to be honest.

"She has a good point, you know" Jackie said agreeing with her.

There was an abnormal triumphant fire that started to burn inside her and it wasn't because Jackie agreed with her.It was because she had noticed that Donovan hadn't attempted to remove her hand and she realized she liked the way his skin felt against hers. It was a victory short lived because the next thing she knew a dirty blond girl grabbed her hand a threw it off Donovan. Resulting in her hand hitting the from the in pact and she winced slightly in pan.

"take your hands off my man!You fake ass barbie slut."

the girl put her arm around Donovan's waist looking at her with pure hate.

"Oh shit... i'm sorry. i wasn't trying to make on him or anything like that, i swear." She lifted her hand up in surrender trying to defuse the situation. She didn't care that she lied to this her. that girl had crazy written all over her forehead and Rachel didn't feel like visiting the loony bin anytime soon.Jackie had came to stand by her side. She told her a million times before that she was like a baby sister to her and she would gladly kill for her. Rachel appreciated her protectiveness lord knows what will happen if this escalates. 

"Oh please the blond chuckled humorously.We all know that Rob dumped you because you slutted it up with some other guy.So don't act all cute with me I can see right threw a fake bitch."

Rachel's heat started beating loudly in her ears.She did not just say that to her, who the hell did this girl think she is?

"Excuse me?,Rachel said narrowing her eyes at her.What the f**k did you just say?"

A malicious smirk formed on the girls lips, "Don't worry though my friend Lauren took real good care of him. He has forgotten all about you already."

Her words cut deep into Rachel , sobering her up completely from the alcohol but intoxicating her with rage. "Listen to me you backwards , no good ally rat. If you don't know what your talking about it's best to keep that STD infected hole in your face , you call a mouth shut.As for Rob I couldn't careless whither he does or doesn't remember me or who he does in his spare time. But if it's really so important to your friend you can tell her Robbie hasn't been over for a 'play date' in a while. She should be able to sleep soundly but I don't know how long though,Rachel got up from her chair taking a step closer to the girl. She slightly leaned in and said in an confident tone, "Because they ALWAYS come back."

A smirk haunted Rachel's features as she glared at the girl in front of her. Not knowing exactly where that came from or who these so called men are but she didn't care this girl was way out of line and needed to be put in her place.

"Wow you really are a slut!" The girl exclaimed yelling at Rachel.

"Call her a slut one more time. I dare you !"

It was the first time Rachel had ever heard Jackie sounding threatening and it sent chills down her spine. Grateful that Jackie had her back like she promised so many times before, Rachel's eyes darted away from her new found enemy and as her gaze fell onto the room she realized that their argument has captured a decent amount of attention including her two bosses Donald and John.She sighed internally remembering Donald's words and she knew then that she had to let it go and call it a night but the blond bimbo wouldn't shut her trap.

"Awww sweet if it isn't the little waiter w***e club. Mommy w***e's protecting baby w***e, so admirable".

Rachel'was starting to reach her peak with this bitch.She was becoming dangerously close to reaching for her throat. Taking a deep breath she turned her attention to Donovan.

"Listen I was informed that if I had a problem I should talk to John or Donald but I'm guessing any club member would do. So here's the situation, I'm extremely close to chocking your girlfriend till I see the light leaving her pathetic eyes and well to be honest although I'm sure I'll enjoy every second of it  and that some of you would be grateful. Orange really isn't my color and I'm in no rush to become some women's toy.So please just hold little miss crazy here away from me and Jackie while we leave to go home."

Donovan stared wide eyes at her and she didn't know if it was because he was shocked or because she hadn't been listening to her. So reluctantly she turned her attention to Lincoln who was laughing at the whole ordeal. When her eyes settled on him , he simply replied "Yes ma'am" grinning from ear to ear. That was enough for Rachel so she grabbed her friends hand and marched out of the party . they both inhaled sharply as the cold night air hit them when they stepped out.
