"Come on, Sofie, let's go inside! Our men are waiting for us," Sally exclaimed, pulling me impatiently by the arm.
On this Saturday evening, I've dressed up, wearing a red minidress with nylon stockings and black high heels. Sally picked me up from home, since Marco and Frank were already waiting for us at the pub. It's time for a happy party night! I took a deep breath of the fresh night air, before entering the Dragon's Den with my bestie. We made our way through the crowd of young people and the smoke-filled air.
When we arrived at the bar, I immediately saw my boyfriend standing there, towering over most people with his height. With his well-toned body and a mischievous smirk on his handsome face, he looks good enough to eat! I was delighted, but my enthusiasm was dampened a bit when I saw him smoking a cigarette. But that wasn't the only thing bothering me... Marco wasn't there with Frank and Andy, but with Austin and his girlfriend Claudia.
I don't like Austin as he's a shady guy. He's driving a fancy Mercedes, flaunting his money. Marco told me that he doesn't exactly know how that guy is making so much money. I'm pretty sure that he's a dealer! Everyone here knows that they're dealing drugs in the Dragon's Den, and Austin is walking around as he owns this place...
Finally, my boyfriend noticed me, turning to face me with a radiant smile, his blue eyes shining. I returned his smile, excited to get close to him, but then the smell of weed hit me. You must be kidding me; he's actually smoking a joint!
"Ciao amore," he said in a low voce, gently pulling me in for a kiss.
I backed away unwillingly, putting some space between us. He cleared his throat nervously, then quickly threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground, stubbing it out. I crossed my arms, giving him a look of disapproval. I'm so disappointed in him! When is he finally going to start the therapy? Marco avoided my gaze, embarrassed, without saying a word. I hate it so much, when he gets defensive...
"Where's Frank?" Sally asked, breaking the awkward silence, and Austin turned to face her.
"He's standing over there with his brother, next to the dance floor. As it seems, they're discussing something," he replied curtly.
Then he turned back to his girlfriend, who was was adoring him, as usual.
Claudia is blonde and pretty, but she's dolled up way too much and has no personality. She's just saying what Austin wants to hear!
"Are you mad at me, Sofia?" Marco's husky voice interrupting my thoughts. "I wasn't smoking weed, just a cigarette."
He glanced at me uncertainly, and I gasped for air. Now he's even lying!
"I don't believe a word you're saying, Marco!" I snapped at him. "You can't live without that fucking stuff!"
I shook my head at him, disappointed. He swallowed hard, nervously running a hand through his messy hair. Usually, I love this gesture about him, but now I was just furious. Sally, who was standing next to me, watching the whole thing with concern, placed a hand on my arm to comfort me. I let out a deep sigh.
"Well, look at her, Marco! Your little girl is demanding you to stop smoking joints," Austin suddenly chimed in.
"She's a sassy mouth. Maybe you should teach her some lesson and show her who's the boss!"
Austin smirked amusedly, and Marco clenched his fists in anger. I was speechless. How does that dumbass dare talk about me like that? Who does he think he is?!
"Shut the fuck up, Austin!" my boyfriend snapped at him. "What's between me and my girl is none of your fucking business."
The stupid smirk vanished from Austin's face and he shot him a furious look, Marco staring back in anger. Are they going to stare at each other all night long, waiting to see who gives in first? I″ve had enough.
"Sally, let's go dancing," I said to my bestie. "We're here to have fun, aren't we?"
Sally nodded eagerly, since her boyfriend was standing right there next to the dance floor.
"Sure, let's go!" she exclaimed, walking over to Frank and Andy.
I felt Marco's burning gaze on my back as I followed Sally, but I didn't turn around. If he cares, he can just come after me... I made sure to walk right past Austin.
"Fuck you, Austin," I snared angrily at him.
Walking away, I heard him gasping for air, and smiled, pretty satisfied. When I arrived at the dance floor, Frank and Sally were already dancing to the salsa music playing from the speakers. They were moving perfectly to the music, fitting so well together.
"Hi Sofia," Andy said to me shyly. "You look stunning, absolutely beautiful!"
He gave me an admiring look, and I felt my cheeks flushing. Andy is Frank's older brother and Marco's best friend. He isn't as tall as Marco, but he's also a well-toned body. And he's very handsome with his black hair, contrasting with his gray-blue eyes. I like him, as he's kind and easygoing, so different from Marco. He obviously has a little crush on me, and I've got the feeling that Marco is jealous because I'm getting along so well with his best friend.
"You look great too, Andy," I replied, smiling, and he took a deep breath.
"Want to dance, Sofia?" he asked hesitantly, and I nodded eagerly.
"Yes, of course, Andy! After all, I'm here to dance," I exclaimed.
We laughed happily, then Andy pulled me in, gently placing a hand around my waist. With the other hand, he grasped mine, guiding me confidently across the dance floor. He was a really good dancer, and I thoroughly enjoyed moving with him to the sensual rhythm of the salsa music. For a moment, I forgot everything else around me. I don't like messing around, playing with the others' feelings, but after what happened before, I felt so disappointed.
I love Marco so much, and I'm truly concerned about him. All I want for him is to get off that fucking drugs, but sometimes it seems so hopeless... Sally and Frank were thirsty from all the dancing and went back to the bar.
"It's fun dancing with you, Sofia," Andy whispered in my ear, his voice soft and somehow arousing.
I felt hot as he pulled me even closer, his hands sliding down my back to my butt. That's going way too far! I took a deep breath and was about to pull away from him when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"What the hell are you doing with my girl, Andy?" Marco shouted, his voice filled with rage.
"You've got your hands all over her. Keep your hands off, bro!"
Andy and I felt caught and jumped apart, embarrassed. My breath caught when I saw Marco standing there, breathing heavily, red in the face with anger. Jesus, I've never seen him like this before! Andy cleared his throat nervously, giving his friend an insecure look.
"Come on, bro, calm down," he said in a low voice. "Sofia and I were just dancing."
But my boyfriend didn't calm down, quite the opposite!
"You call that dancing? You were touching her all over, bro!" he yelled at him furiously.
"I thought you were my friend, but you're just a fucking bastard!"
He was shaking with rage, looking truly intimidating. Andy swallowed hard, he seemed to be scared of his friend. Then everything happened very fast... Marco wound up and punched him right in the face! Andy was thrown back by the force of the blow, but fortunately he didn't fall down. Before my boyfriend could hit him again, I stepped between the two boys.
"MARCO! Stop it right now!" I yelled at him.
He stared at me, stunned, as if waking up from a trance. Andy took a deep breath, rubbing his right cheek, which was already swollen and blue. I was close to tears. What the hell has gotten into Marco? He isn't able to control himself anymore, a consequence of his drug addiction!
"Why are you acting like this, Marco?" I cried, close to tears. "You just lost control, you were hitting your best friend!"
He was breathing heavily, struggling to compose himself. I met the desperate look in his blue eyes, and my heart ached with pain. I fucking love him, even in this moment...
"You have to go to therapy, I'm begging you," I whispered, exhausted. "You're destroying yourself, don't you realize that?"
He took a deep breath, reaching for my hands, and I let him, unable to resist him.
"I'm so sorry, piccola!" he said, his voice trembling. "I have something to tell you, please listen to me."
He stared at me so desperately that my eyes filled with tears. My heart was beating like crazy. It's really hard to resist those ocean eyes, but this time I wouldn't give in!
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe you anymore, Marco," I whispered with the last of my strength. "Please just leave me alone, okay?"
I turned around and ran away, so he wouldn't see my tears.
"SOFIA!" He called after me, but I didn't look back.
**********
A few minutes later, I was leaning against the wall in the long corridor that separated the pub from the restrooms, crying my eyes out. I came here to have fun with my friends, and now? I felt awful, my heart hurting and my eyes burning with tears.
It wasn't long before I heard footsteps approaching and someone coughing nervously behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know it was my boyfriend. He gently grasped my shoulders from behind, his touch sending shivers down my spine.
"I told you to leave me alone, Marco!" I snapped at him.
He didn't listen, but tightened his grip on my shoulders.
"Please, Sofia, just listen to me for a moment," he said in a firm voice. "You won't believe it, but I'm finally going to therapy!"
I startled, my heart skipping a beat. Was he telling the truth this time? Finally, I turned around to look straight into his eyes.
"You're serious, Marco?" I asked doubtfully.
He nodded with a huge smile, simply swiping my doubts away.
"Absolutely, Sofia! It's a group therapy, and I'll be going three times a week," he explained.
"Unfortunately, we won't be able to see each other so often anymore, since I also have to study for college."
He looked at me expectantly, and I laughed happily.
"That's great news!" I exclaimed. "It doesn't matter if we can't see each other so often. It's more important that you finally get off those fucking drugs."
Marco gave me a warm smile, and I couldn't resist him anymore! I wrapped my arms him, leaning my head against his chest. He sighed softly, enclosing me with his strong arms. I listened to his strong heartbeat with devotion. Is his heart beating only for me?
"You have no idea how much you mean to me, amore," I whispered in a fading voice.
He swallowed hard and tightened his grip around my waist, making me feel hot.
"You mean the world to me, amore mio. I don't wanna lose you," he murmured in my ear, his low voice sending hot shivers down my spine.
"Then kiss me, Marco!"
I didn't have to tell him twice! Marco pressed his lips so hard on mine that I couldn't stand the pressure, opening my mouth to let him in. Impatiently, he pressed me against the wall, covering me with his strong body. Our tongues touching, starting a passionate dance. He never kissed me with so much hunger, and it was driving me wild!
My boyfriend was so aroused, just like me, pressing his large bulge eagerly between my thighs. I could feel his hard cock, even through the fabric of his pants, and the throbbing between my thighs was so intense that I gasped for air. Jesus, I want him so bad it hurts! He was panting, slowly pushing up my dress to touch the sensitive skin of my thighs.
"Oh Marco," I moaned between our kisses, making him shiver.
I was burning with desire, my body set on fire.
"You're driving me crazy, Sofia, I want you!" Marco groaned so loudly that I startled..
Only now did I notice that other people were standing in the corridor, watching us curiously. Embarrassed, I pushed my boyfriend back, adjusting my dress. He took a deep breath, running a hand through his tousled hair. He stared at me, confused, but then he noticed the people on the other side of the corridor, clearing his throat sheepishly.
"I guess we have an audience," he said with a smirk, and I nodded, laughing.
"This probably isn't the best place for a steamy makeout," I whispered to him.
"I fear we must wait until my parents and my brother will leave for the weekend to go to some basketball competition. Usually, I don't go with them, but stay at home. Can you imagine? Just the two of us, all alone in bed for the weekend..."
Marco drew in a sharp breath, squeezing my hand so tightly that I grimassed in pain.
"You can't imagine what I'm gonna do to you, piccola," he murmured in my ear, the rough sound of his voice sending hot shivers down my spine.
"I promised you a few days ago: your first time will be unforgettable!"
As it seems, someone is very confident about his sexual performance! I raised my eyebrows, giving him a profound look, making him actually blush. He might be thinking that I'm easy to impress just because I'm still a virgin...
"How about we go back inside and dance together, Marco?" I suggested to take our minds off things.
"Sure, piccola, let's go dancing!" he agreed happily.
He put his arm around me, leading me back inside to the dance floor. Sally and Frank were alreading waiting for us. Andy was nowhere to be seen, and Frank told us that his brother went home. Poor Andy! Marco seemed to read my mind and promised me to call Andy tomorrow morning and apologize. Hopefully, the two friends would make up!
Anyway, we had a lot of fun dancing, and I was surprised by the dancing skills of my boyfriend. He was moving his hips so well to the rhythm of the music, driving my imagination wild. That guy is so fucking hot! I just can't wait to have the house all to ourselves for the weekend to finally have sex with him...
It was past midnight when Frank, Sally, Marco, and I left the Dragon's Den. Sally was going to stay overnight at Frank's, and Marco was taking me home.
