Zone 127: Entangled Hearts, Deadly Secrets

1

Coming to a club was completely out of my comfort zone but anything to see my long-lost friend Mark again. City Girls by Chris Brown blared on the speakers as I seemingly passed the dozens of dancing bodies on the floor grabbing attention of the separate groups. The red strobe lights briefly showed the dimensions of the form fitting outfit I chose. I wore a gray corset top that hugged my bust perfectly, with a black leather pleated skirt that showed a small glimpse of my ass, and black thigh high heel boots to match the top. I looked amazing and felt even better. TO SAY THE LEAST.

I was invited on a whim by my life long friend Mark. Mark was my most childhood crush but after a while Mark decided to follow his dreams as a musician.Afraid of confrontation due to my unrequited feelings, I avoided speaking to Mark for a while until he somehow got my new number. Mark and I picked up like we never stopped speaking. After numerous texts over the past year he had talked me into letting him fly me out to meet him.

Who am I to say no to an all paid expense trip?? HM? YALL WOULD DO IT TO.

I found a seat at the bar leaving a seat open on both sides of me shifting in my seat anxiously waiting."Hey, can I buy you a drink?" A low husky voice rumbled from behind me.

asked me before my ass could even hit the chair fr.
he looked too good to casually be here.
Now if I wasn't meeting Mark yes, but right now hell naw I don't want no FOCKING drink. Mark didn't tell me they were coming like this and I wasn't against it.

"I'm actually waiting on my date." I bleakly smile at the man taking in more of his features and it was very tempting.

"You look too good to be here alone, if he's stupid enough not to come you know where to find me." He gestured to his group of friends who eyed me from afar and they looked as good as him but not as good as Mark lord.

I in fact also did not know where to find this young man and I wasn't going to attempt looking for him, he knew where to find a bad bitch if he notices I'm still by myself in a hour.

My anxious hands fidgeted at my skirt hem awaiting Mark's arrival it had been thirty minutes in the slightly overwhelming club.  One thing for sure this dude isn't prompt at all and I definitely looked too good to be sitting here by myself, given the men who have already offered to accompany me.

"AND What the fuck do we have here?" A familiar yet unrecognizable voice coming from behind me yelled into my ear over the loud music played at the bar. Before I could turn around, I recognized the voice. I fell for him all over again. He held a blunt tightly in his left hand

"Oh my god Mark?" He pulls me into his chest hugging me and I'm still in shock. His once scrawny frame now felt muscular. His hands snaked around my waist caressing my back. His smell was intoxicating. The burnt vanilla and weed scent quickly rubbed off onto my clothes.

"When did you start drinking." He snatched my cup from my hand to drink from it. The strobe lights still stuck as he pulled his mask down giving me less than a second to see him

I was taken aback; he looked good on Facetime but in person he exceeded my expectations. He licked his plush pink lips before wrapping them around the brim of my cup. He smiled looking into the cup at my mystery drink.

I knew time took it's course but now his attractiveness is on another level.

"What drink did you get?" His question interrupted my crude thoughts.I have half the mind he knew damn well what it was in the glass before he drunk it, but ima lie anyways.
