Never let go

17 : Trying new things

" Is he gonna confess his feelings or something?" Anna asked.

"Bingo you got it right, a few weeks ago Aiden asked me to help him to prepare for today. But how did you guessed it right?" I was curious.

" Well that's obvious just look that the way he looks at her, he has probably fallen head over heels for Emma." Anna explained.

I excused my self to use the bathroom. I did my business and walked out but on my way back someone pulled me by my wrist.

My back hit the wall and I looked at the person who was holding me and it was Lucas. "What's wrong-"

"So you do modeling, then why bother to work in a company? Or is it your pass time hobby?" He didn't looked very happy.

" But what does it has to do with you? Why are you mad at me?"

" Answer my question, why am I not aware of what my assistant is doing?" Why is he so concerned with my personal life?

"I tell you everything that is work related and this is my personal life Lucas."

"I don't want my employee to work in my office as an option and not take there work seriously."

"I don't treat my job as an option and I'm not a model I just did it for Emma."

"Then why didn't you informed me beforehand I've also seen you sneak out of the office building to meet up with Lilly."

"I go out only in the lunch time and come back on time so I don't think I've done anything to disappoint you Mr. Jones."

"I expect you to inform the next time you are a part of such event, is that clear Ms. Stone?"

"Fine, I'll inform you." I did not look at him. "Now let me go." I broke off his hold and went back to everyone.

After almost 20 minutes later Emma returned with a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Guys look at this!" She showed her wrist which had a diamond bracelet on it.

"Wow that's pretty!" Anna and Lilly said in unison.

"That's really pretty I wonder where did you get that." I acted as if I didn't know about Aiden's surprise for her.

"You know Ella you shouldn't lie if you are bad at it, Aiden already told me that you helped him. He even got some help from Lucas."

I wasn't expecting that, I mean Lucas doesn't seem like a person to know about romantic stuff. But he also has a image of a playboy so maybe he knows the tricks to impress women.

Aiden and Lucas walked towards us. Aiden snaked his arms around Emma and hugged her from behind. Emma looked startled first but then she relaxed. Then Aiden kissed her cheeks.

"I already miss your touch." Aiden whispered to Emma but it was audible enough for us to here.

"You guys should get a room." Lilly remarked.

"That reminds me that I have booked the VIP section in a club for all of us so we should get going."

We drove to the club but Anna couldn't join us as her little daughter and her husband were wait at home for her.

I went with Emma and Aiden in Aiden's car and Lilly came with Lucas in his car. Lilly also called her boyfriend to join us at the club. "Guys meet Alex." He was a tall blond guy with a muscular body.

Everyone was ordering there drinks and this time to everyone's surprised I ordered tequila , as I wasn't in my greatest mood because of Lucas being a controlling boss.

"Are you sure Ella, you'd never had alcohol before." Emma was a little worried for me. "Don't worry I'm damn sure" I looked at Lucas he was already looking at me with a sharp look.

Soon our drinks came, I took the little tequila glass in my hand. Though I ordered it but now when I really have to drink it I feel nervous.

Everyone took there first shot and now they wer looking at me. Emma, Aiden and Lilly cheered for me so I closed my eyes and gulped the liquid in one shot.

The taste was something I can't explain but it did burn while it went down my throat. I went for my second shot and now I do feel that this stuff isn't for me as my mouth feels horrible right now. I licked the salt and bite in the slice of lime to help reduce the taste.

"Ella now that you are trying new things today then join us on the dance floor." Lilly said standing up.

"Yes it'll be fun." Emma stood up too. Maybe I should go as now I feel pretty confident. I went to the dance floor with them and tried to dance in sync to the loud music.

Though I haven't done this stuff befor but I'm kinda liking it now. The people around me wer dancing like crazy which made me wanna dance more freely. I felt lightheaded, is this how getting drunk feels like?

There was this random guy who danced together with me.
We danced a little but then he started getting closer. Now he was holding my waist and inching his face closer to mine, but suddenly a hand caught my shoulder and turned me around.

Lucas held my wrist tightly and was pulling me out of the crowd. "Leave me I don't wanna go." I tried to free my hand.

I used my other hand to free my wrist I even dig my nails in his hand but he did not let go.

He brought me back to the seating area. "W-what is your problem Mr. Jones." Why am I fumbling suddenly. "Let me go I wanna dance."

"You are not going anywhere." He looked at me like a mad kid as if I stole his candy.

"Why are you so controlling, what have I even done to you." I pointed my index finger to him. "Why are you so mean?" I put my index finger on his chest and pressed it. "Why do you scold me everytime?"
