The neon lights flash across the club. Music bumping through the speakers. Bodies fringing against each other. The atmosphere is filled with sweat and drinks.
In the VIP lounge, Alex bowed his head between his legs. His hands were in his hair.
The last time he saw himself here or anywhere filled with intense alcohol was when Avery left the country. He'd drunk his sorrow, with the amount of alcohol which made him feel numb.
" So why are we here again?" Black Eagle exclaimed.
Alex's hair was still between his legs.
" To drink our sorrows away," he muttered loud enough for his friends to hear.
" Speak for yourself Alexander, none of us is grieving. You signed for this. And this is how you deal with it." Samuel snapped.
Alex sneered. He raised his head from his legs and stared at them.
" Are you trying to tell me. You both are doing great with your women. And I'm the only person sulking?"
Sam rolled his eyes at him.
" Im trying my best to win her back. And I'm going to get her." Sam said pouring himself a drink.
" There is progress," Stefan exclaimed with his arms folded.
" I hate myself for forcing her into this agreement, but how can I tell her it's for her good?"
*******
Alex and Sam flopped on the black leather couch, the bottles in their hands rolling to the floor. Stefan rolled his eyes at them.
" Dickheads." he muttered.
He walked out of the VIP lounge to a quiet area. He didn't sign up to take care of a bunch of dickheads.
He pressed the button that had Suzzy's contact.
With a few rings the latter answered the call.
" Um…hello? Who's this?" Suzzy asked as she slipped her feet into her slippers.
It was almost dawn. She had to finish her work before she could go back to bed.
"It's me, Stefan."
" Stefan?" Suzzy asked with her brows furrowed.
Stefan let out a frustrating sigh. He forgot she doesn't know his first name.
" Black Eagle."
"Ohhh, wait. You're called Stefan? I don't know that. Nice name."
Starfan massaged his temples. This was what Samuel fell for. No offense to both of them but this.
" Samuel is with me and I need you to pick him up. He's drunk."
" Why is he drunk? What happened?"
" Lady, as much as I want to tell you all the details. I need you to come for him. I will send you the location."
He said before hanging up.
An hour passed by and Suzzy came rushing in. However, the bouncer refused to let her in. He sized her up.
"She's with me." a lazy voice was heard.
The bouncer turned and was greeted by Stefan's nonchalant aura. He had his hands un his pockets.
He nodded to the bouncer before the man stepped aside to make way for Suzzy.
Suzzy heard voices from the lounge and she wished the ground would just open and swallow her. She looked at Starfan with an apologetic look, but his gaze wasn't on them.
" Avery is my world" Alex drawled.
" No, no Suzzy is?" Samuel exclaimed
Sam's body was wobbly as he stood up. He stabbed toward but he managed to balance himself.
" Listen, I love Suzzy from the earth to the moon and back again."
A smile tugged on her lips when she heard his confession.
" You can go. No one is holding you back." Stefan exclaimed.
He wanted to get this over with. He had a mission to accomplish and these useless men are wasting his precious time.
