Faith POV
Never in my life, I have been so happy and dreaded at the same moment. There is elation but at the same time, I feel like something is not right. It may be due to my overthinking but when we all got selection mail today for the workshop, I felt like I shouldn't be doing it or I should run a thousand miles away from this place. But as usual, I pushed these thoughts at the back of my mind and move forward to get ready for the club which I wasn't even in a mood to go but since Ryan decided and begged that we should celebrate then how can I say no to his cute puppy face.
It's currently 6:30 pm and I'm still not ready since Ryan will be here by 7 to pick us up. Keith will directly meet us at the club and it's the same club 'The Poison' which was opened new here a few weeks back.
Right now, Ruth was going through my entire closet to find one perfect dress for the club, I wonder what's wrong with simple jeans and a top.
"Ruth you have already turned upside down my entire closet, just pick something already please" looking at her, I flung myself on the bed.
"Nuh nuh, today I will make you look like an exotic snack that everyone single person wants to devour." she smirked looking behind her shoulder at me. Oh god, I hope I will not regret this decision of going club.
"Finally found it!!"
My eyes widened at the piece of fabric she picked. It was a short black skater dress with a sweetheart neckline which was bought by her only on my 19th birthday but still, I haven't worn it even once.
Narrowing my eyes at her "I am not gonna wear that, it covers nothing and I will look ugly in it" I said with a distaste. It's basically a piece of fabric that I don't think will even cover my ass and not to mention that sweetheart neckline that will give every single person a live show of my breasts.
"Pretty please just try it once, I swear you will look beautiful and sexy at the same time in it and if not I will pick another dress myself"
"ughh..fine I'll try but if it doesn't look good then I'll decide what to wear"
"yes yes, now move your ass to get change."
I changed my dress and looked at the mirror which was there in the closet. What I saw was breath-taking, this dress fits perfectly at each and every curve of my body and it's not too short as I was expecting it to be. All my features were highlighted in the best possible way in this dress. Opening the door, I showed her the dress and she was bewildered.
"Damn girl you look like a snack and if not for that you are my friend, I would definitely have eaten you" I blushed at her comment.
"Ar-are you sure, don't you think it's too much?" somewhere in my mind I was getting self-conscious as I was not used to wearing such clothes which show too much skin.
"You kidding me right now Eve? Just trust me on this one and maybe you will finally get laid after 20 years of being prude"
"you know I don't want that Ruth" pouting at her I turned around to look back at the mirror.
"whatever babe, do you need help in makeup or hair?"
"Nah I'll be doing" I brushed my hair and curled it at the ends of it. Since my hairs are waist length, I decided to keep it open for today.
"Alright I'll be waiting downstairs, come fast."
While getting ready I took time to admire myself and appreciate this beautiful dress which a few minutes back I was fussing about. I did my makeup not too much, just some concealer, lip gloss, and mascara.
It was already 6:55 now and Ryan will be here any minute as I went downstairs. Ruth was already waiting while scrolling through her phone. She wore a beautiful red strapless bodycon dress which perfectly fits her body with red heels. No wonder so many guys at the university wants to pursue her.
"you look sexy Eve" Ruth said while winking at me. God, when she will stop making me blush.
"says the one for whom the entire male population is dreading to go on a single date."
"aww....look at.." she was about to say something but then.
*honk* *honk*
"come on let's go" picking up my phone and purse we locked the house. Ryan's car was already waiting in front of the gate. Ruth sat on the passenger seat while I on the backseat of his Dodge Charger.
As I locked the door, Ryan turned 360 degrees in my direction with his mouth dropping to the ground.
"wh-what the fuck Eve" he blurted out like he had never seen me before, well not in this dress. I just raised my single eyebrow at him in response.
"I-I mean you look...hot?" it was more of a question than a statement.
Damn what's with everyone making me blush tonight.
"Thanks, Ryan now come on let's go or else we will be late" I tried hard to change the topic so that the attention is not on me anymore.
"I told ya, you look like a snack" Ruth mumbled trying to make her point clear.
The entire ride to the club was full of bickering as they try to make me feel as much as uncomfortable as possible.
"We need to get her laid today or else she will die virgin for sure" I tried to ignore her and her immense interest in deflowering me but thank god Ryan didn't comment further on this topic. Even thinking about such things gives me goosebumps on my entire body.
"We are here bitches!!" Ryan whooped suddenly as he stops the car. We got out and he gave the keys to the valet to park his car. There was a long line of teenagers and adults outside the club waiting for their chance for the entrance.
I was completely awestruck by the beauty of the club. It was a tall building with 5 floors and with minimum red and blue lighting to highlight the club.
"This looks beautiful" I murmured still gawking at the building.
"I know right" Ruth and Ryan both interlaced their fingers with mine on either side.
"How are we gonna get there, it's a long waiting line"
"Don't worry babe we have our own way" Ryan gave us a smug look.
"asshole" Ruth mumbled under her breath. I shrugged at both of them. They both can be a handful from time to time.
Upon entering, Ryan talked with the bouncer at the entrance who allowed us in the club instantly.
"that was very fast" Ruth looked at him suspiciously.
"told ya...Umm Eve?" Ryan said in a tone laced with seriousness in it getting the attention of Ruth as well.
"hmm?"
"Don't go anywhere without anyone okay and be careful if anything happens call us. Okay?" concern was clearly evident in his voice. I'm really lucky and grateful to have such people in my life otherwise I don't know how would I have survived alone without my father here.
"yes, dad!" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes at him.
The pathway to the inside of the club was dimly lighted giving it a shady vibe. As we entered, I was dazed by the swarm of people dancing along, grinding their bodies with each other without caring about all the sweat they transferring. Eww, that was totally gross.
Amara, Dylan, and Keith were already present there at the corner of the club as we move towards them. Keith was busy eating the face of the girl who was straddling him on his lap not caring about the surrounding even a bit.
"hey, guys!!" we greeted everyone as we sat down. I was sandwiched in-between Ryan and Ruth.
"What did you all ordered for the drink? We are gonna make little Eve here an adult today" Ryan asked flopping one arm around my shoulder. Now, this got the attention of every single person sitting with us.
"No! she is not drinking" Immediately Keith warned Ryan glaring at him.
I gave him a thankful look for saying this to him. I have never had any kind of drink before in my life and I would like to keep it that way for as long as possible.
"Come on K one drink will do no harm" Amara pouted at him.
"Yes! Yes! She needs to man up" Dylan with everyone else was trying to convince Keith as if it was not about me.
"Dude she can't man up! She doesn't have a dic.." and at this point, I don't care what everyone was thinking as I gave a hard smack at Ryan's head.
"Alright guys, just one drink!" I shouted trying to stop everyone's quibbling.
~~~~~~
It was already 2 hours since we all were here and let me tell you it was not just one drink. Well, it started with just one but for once I decided to loosen myself and enjoy the moment. Boys were all on the dance floor with some girls they caught the attention of and Keith was with his girl of the day somewhere, mostly in some dark alley doing something I will not like to think about. Amara, Ruth, and I were drinking and enjoying when a waiter came with drinks in her hand.
"Umm, we didn't order any more drinks." Amara said to the waiter looking confused at her.
"yes mam but these are from the guest over there" the waiter told us pointing towards the bar where two men may be in their mid-twenties were already looking at us with a smirk on their faces.
They both looked good, especially the one with a white shirt and blue jeans. He was well built and what caught my attention was his baby blue eyes which were already looking at me. I blushed and turned around completely towards Ruth so that my back was facing him.
"Damn girl he is looking at you." Ruth said in a hushed tone. Amara was already busy ogling at the other man beside him and mumbling to herself "He looks hot."
"We shouldn't drink more Ruth" I tried to reason with her but it was of no use because according to her we cannot waste drinks that too given free of cost.
"Ryan will stay sober for tonight so you don't have to worry about getting drunk Eve and one more will not do any harm" at this point arguing with her is a lost cause so I comply with her.
After the drink, I was pretty much drunk and can hardly even think straight. Also, there was a feeling of someone's gaze burning at me profoundly similar to what I have been feeling these past few weeks. Hopefully, it was the man sitting at the bar, not some creep.
"Th-they are coming here" Amara said suddenly while fixing her dress and pulling the top half down even more to show her cleavage. Ruth pulled me towards her and looked at me intensely ignoring Amara's comment and then out of nowhere she grabbed my breast and pushed it upwards. My heart was already beating fast matching the intensity of the music playing at the club and now I was totally appalled by her behavior.
"Don't look at me like that, you gotta look sexy for the man" giving me a wink, she looked behind me.
"May I have a dance with you?" the man said as I turned around. Not knowing what to say I looked at him dumbfoundedly but Ruth decided to push me forward as I was too futile to function my brain on my own. Nodding at him we moved through the swarm of bodies to the center of the dance floor.
It was fun as we danced along and had a little conversation. "So are you planning to tell me your name or we will remain strangers for the entire night" he shouted near my ears to make his voice audible over the music.
"It's Eve, what's yours?" I slurred while trying to balance myself as I was feeling a bit dizzy.
"Lucas" he smirked at me with an evil glint in his eyes which I was unable to see at that moment. Our bodies were way too close for my liking. Both of his hands were grasping my waist tightly and moving down slowly and my entire front was pressed against his. I tried to wiggle out from his grasp but was unable to do so as my body was slowly losing control. Something was not right and I can feel it.
"You don't look good, come on let's get you some rest" Lucas grabbed my hands and dragged me out of the dance floor.
"Wh-where a-are we g-going" I was barely conscious now and I looked around struggling to remember the path he was taking me through. It was dark and was barely visible to where we were going.
"Don't worry love, I'll take care of you for tonight"
He opens the door which was located at the end of the dark pathway and pushed me inside. Stumbling I moved forward trying to grab anything to steady myself when he suddenly grabbed me from behind and started kissing the nape of my neck feverishly.
No, this isn't right.
"stop moving and let me taste you love" he turned me around and pushed me on the bed which was behind me.
"N-no st-stop it plea.." I wasn't even able to complete that sentence because the look of complete hunger in his eyes was enough for me to fright me to the core.
He licked his lips while opening the buttons of his shirt.
The last thing I can remember before losing consciousness is someone pulling him off me.
Someone saved me, someone with green eyes.
