LETHAL

chapter 2

The place smelt of alcohol and sweat honestly. Colorful lights everywhere with shimmery bulbs lighting up the whole place. Men and women scattered everywhere, on the dancefloor, on the deck, at the bar, or the booths. I felt so out of place but carried on moving as I felt Enzo's hand on the small of my back, guiding me deep inside. I spotted Asher near the bar talking to someone from our school. So it was not only me underage here.

As we reached the bar, I saw Enzo leaning onto the counter. "Fabian, get us shots." He said over the loud music and I looked at Enzo in confusion. Don't tell me they were planning to drink when I was right here. I was never been to this place and what if they get wasted?

"Right away Bud." The guy Fabian said to Enzo and I felt like they knew each other. Were they familiar to this place? No wonder they let us in without a question and without asking me for my identity.

"So? You don't seem to like here?" Enzo sat on the barstool and I followed suit.

"Uh- well. I've never really been to these places." I shrugged and saw Enzo frowning.

"Really? I thought you were a party Gurl." He said as if he knew me well.

"Yeah? You did? Well sorry I didn't lived up to your assumptions." I shot at him.

He chuckled, shaking his head as the bartender appeared with a tray of shots. I looked at the tray and back at Enzo. He seemed not to question anything and just picked one up, giving it to me. Picking one for himself, he clinked with mine before gulping it down. I looked at him with admiration. True. He did that so smoothly.

"Come on gurl." He cheered me up. "You can do this. Don't just sip it, gulp it in one go." He instructed and I felt myself obeying and before I know it, I felt something wet burning down my throat. I gagged, looking at him. Yuck. What the hell was this.

"Ew. This is shit." I complained slamming the glass down on the bar hardly. Enzo just smirked and handed me another one.

"What! No! I ain't drinking this again." I tried to put it back but he held my hand and gave me a look.

"Loosen up a bit will you? First time always feels shit." He said and I nodded and gulped down another shot. Although the taste lingered but it wasn't that bad this time.

"You good Shawty?" Enzo gave that dazzling smile of his and I felt myself nodding.

"Great! Then take another!" He handed me another. Just as I downed the third one, I heard Asher from behind me.

"Hey Lia, I see you're enjoying." He stated and I giggled.

"Yeah, I am! See I just had another of this shitty one. Mmm. It do things to my body!" I said, my words unclear even to me. Why the hell was I slurring?

"What the f**k? Enzo how much did she have?" Asher looked panicked and I giggled.

"What's wrong pretty boy? Let's dance!" I tugged at his shirt when he pulled away from me.

"Wait wait wait. You're not going anywhere. Enzo you were supposed to take care of her and not get her drunk!" Asher didn't look at me when he barked out at Enzo but I couldn't control myslrf and chuckled.

"What man? She's alright. Okay? It's a club for f***s sake. You won't find candies here." Enzo retorted and I giggled.

"He's right Ash. I am not at all Drunk, just a little.... Oops." I almost fell to the floor as I got off the stool when Enzo grabbed me.

"Hey, ..."

"I am perfectly fine. I just feel like dancing." I shrugged looking at Enzo, finding his eyes already on me. God those eyes did things to me

He led us to the dance floor where some high best song was blasting through the speakers.

"You... Your eyes do things to me Enzo." I spoke truthfully looking right in his eyes, his hands going around my waist.

"They do?" He asked his eyes waverinf from my eyes to my lips.

"Yes, they do."

He fully pressed his body into mine,

chest to chest, I could feel his something hard touch below my belly button. I closed my eyes as I saw him smirking. "Good. Then you won't mind me doing this." He said and before I could register anything, Enzo dropped his lips on mine. My eyes shot open only to find his close eyes and lost myself. He tightened his grip

on me and pulled me as close as he

could and hold my face to deepen the kiss. While other arms still wrapped around my waist. A gasp escaped my lips and with that he pushed his tongue inside my mouth. My hands were on his shoulder but I couldn't push him. And the whole place froze for me if not the world. His lips did more things to me than his eyes did for sure.

His lips were the softest I ever kissed and the only pair which knew how to kiss I wasn't an expert but I knew he had kissed many to reach this level. His tongue explored my mouth as his hands guided me in the dance steps. I almost lost myself to consciousness if he didn't pull back in time. I looked at him in surprise whereas he looked drunken, eyes darkening.

"You know you're beautiful right? So pretty." He whispered very close to my ear, nibbling on my earlobe, over the loud music in the club. I felt my heartbeat rising and shivers running down my spine. He found me pretty

Enzo Wright found me beautiful! He found me pretty! Was I dreaming or was he joking? I don't know!
