Aria's POV
The restaurant was one of the best restaurants in New York. To have reservation here on Friday Night seemed impossible to us at first but at last we were able to reserve ourselves a booth. Needless to say, it's interior screamed elegance and luxury with chandeliers hanging on the ceiling giving a soft glow in the room. There were booths here; unlike tables in the normal restaurant. We had already made a reservation so we were ushered at our booth right away by one of the waiter .
Our booth was for four at the centre of the restaurant. The table was covered with white silk cloth while a single rose in a glass vase and candles surrounding it. Chairs were of plush deep maroon colour.
Once we settled ourselves we looked through the menu and decided to order Mexican cuisine today; as for the first this restaurant is famous for it and Sam loves Mexican food as well. After ordering our meal, we just chatted for a while and soon enough our meal was there. Of course the services and dinner was best in the town proving it's reviews which we read online.
Once were done, me and Vi offered to pay but Sam being the gentleman said it's our treat of his birthday and after arguing with him for about 15 minutes which was amusing to some of the guests present there who heard our bickering; he finally agreed to let us pay and would give his treat to us in the club as all the drinks would be on him. It's tough to win an argument with me and Vi cuz we both are pretty stubborn when we want to be.
Since, even Sam didn't bought his car with himself we ordered a cab and blasted music through our phone while singing along with top of our voice. Driver of the cab was looking at us as if we are wierdest creature of the planet but we didn't paid attention to it and just laughed about it instead. We reached the club in thirty minutes due to the traffic buzzing due to Friday Night with New Yorkers.
We could hear faint music blasting in the club and a long line with people dressed for a wild night out can be seen outside the club. The name Night Space was written at the top of the building with blue light highlighting it written in cursive. Vi had recived four passes of this club since one of her friend slash colleague had an emergency and wasn't able to use it. She gave one of the pass to her cousin since she loves parties and kept the rest of the three for us.
We walked to the front of the club and there were two well build bouncers standing on the either side of the big red door. They both were huge and wearing earpieces with sun glasses. Vi showed one of them the passes and he blankly nodded and opened the door to let us in. The people behind us yelled as how ut was unfair to not let them go since they were standing in the line for so long.
As soon as we were inside the club, the first thing was the amount of the people in here. The dance floor was totally packed with people dancing and some grinding on each other. Red and blue lights were casted throughout and the ground was shaking a bit due the speakers blasting popular rock songs. People making out in the corner could be seen. The whole place smelled of sweat, drinks and sex. Yet though, Clubbing is one of the best part of the night life in New York.
We three made our way to the bar while bumping against drunk persons slurring thier words. We took our seats on the stools by the bar and waited for the bar tender as he was serving other side. I think I saw him looking at us with the side of his eye and excused himself and turned to us. He was wearing half sleeve black t-shirt which fitted his body perfectly showcasing his muscles. His sandy brown hair were messy and black eyes with ear piercings on both his ears.
He gave us a side smirk with his eyes glistening with unknown emotion and asked,
"What can I get you for you two beautiful ladies and for a fine gentleman here ?"
He was having a southern accents from what I can guess. Me and Vi chuckled at his attempt to flirt with us while I noticed a small smile on Sam's face.
"Six shots of vodka please." Vi told him with her seductive voice. I noticed a frown on Sam's face for a moment before it changed back to his neutral face. Something is definately wrong with him today.
"Sure thing beautiful and what about you Mr Hot Shot ?" He winked at Sam.
"Make it nine shots." He said with a smirk on his face.
"Woahh someone is in the mood to get drunk and wasted huh ? Nine shots of Vodka coming right up."
He went to the other side and started making our drinks while me and Vi turned towards Sam with a questioning look on our face. As soon as he saw us looking at him; he gave us a small but a nervous smile.
"What ? Why are you guys looking at me that way ?" He asked us innocently.
"Okay what the Fuck just happened. That Hot Bartender totally flirted with you and you were also giving him your cheeky smiles. What's up between you two huh ?" Vi bombarded him with the questions.
"Uh N-no....I mean there's nothing like that Vi. You are just overthinking about it."
He was obviously lieing. We both can see right through it.
"C'mon Sam, you are not the one to flirt back with the guy while meeting him for the very first time. What's happening between you two and don't you dare say any other lie." I told him with a stern face at last part.
He sighed and rubbed his neck nervously before speaking,
"Fine....I met him 2 weeks back when I went with my highschool friends to Mc Donalds. His name is Carter and we kind of argued there and later I bumped into him again while I was in Subway. We talked like civilians that time and he kind of flirted with me there and then we exchanged numbers. We have been texting occasionally since then. This is the third time we are meeting; although I had no idea that he works here. I swear."
Me and Vi both squealed and hugged him,
"Gosh he is so into you. Not a bad choice though Sammy boy." Vi told him while ruffling his hair. He frowned and slapped her hand away.
"No but seriously though, he seems like a nice guy. By the way was he the one whom you were texting when we arrived at the restaurant ?" I wiggled my eyebrows and asked him playfully.
Sam blushed while me and Vi laughed at him.
"Here are your 9 shots of vodka guys." Carter said from behind us.
Vi arranged three shots for each one of us in line and shouted,
"To the Birthday Boy !!!!"
Me and Sam laughed at this.
We dranked the three shots simultaneously and then laughed as Sam was the last one to complete his shot.
Soon, Ariana Grande's music blasted through the speakers. She is the favourite artist of me and Vi. We used to party a lot on her songs during college days. We both looked at each other and linked our arms together while grinning. We turned towards Sam to see he was talking to Carter and decided to let them have thier fun.
"Let's leave him here. Wouldn't want to be the cockblocker of our birthday boy here." Vi said.
I laughed and we made our way towards the centre of the dance floor. We started dancing with each other while swaying our hips and started dancing freely. Some of the guys tried to dance with us but we just flipped them off. This took me to our college days.
Since I wasn't much of a party person during college days, me and Vi used to enjoy dancing with each other when we both had went to a party together which was a rare case. It was our thing and even during that time if any guy would have came to dance with us; we used to flip him down and just enjoy with each other.
Those certainly were golden days which I so wish to live once again. After dancing for about an hour so, I was feeling thirsty. I told Vi that I'm going to the bar and made my way there. I looked around the bar area but wasn't able to see Sam neither Carter. I shrugged my shoulders about that and thought they would definitely be having thier fun.
I ordered myself a fruit punch with neat martini in it. While sipping my drink, I turned my attention towards the dance floor to see Vi grinding on some stranger guy. From afar I can see that he is a well built guy. Vi looked at me and gave me one of her famous hook up smile. I know that girl won't be coming home tonight. I shaked my head with a smile and turned my attention back to the drink in front of me.
I was feeling a bit dizzy and slurring slightly with the alcohol effect. Since, I was still feeling thirsty I ordered another martini and was sipping it when someone sat next to me. I turned to see Vi sitting besides me and giggling at the stranger when he spoked something in her ear.
"Ari....I'm going with him to his place... obviouslyyyyy you know for what rightttttt ?" She said slurring.
I giggled and nodded my head at her.
"Where is Sammmmmy boyy huh ? Oh wait even that Carrter guy isn't here. They must be definately doing the dirty somewhere here." She said the last part while laughing.
I joined her and nodded my head.
"You go and...dd enjoy your nightttt I'll see you tomorrow and I want the details, girlllll." I winked at her.
She bobbed her head up and down with a grin on her face before saying,
"Buttttt how will youuu go homeee huh ?"
I shooked my head and told her,
"You don't worry about it.....you know na I'm a big girlll and I know kung-f...fu if someone threatens me thennnnn."
She nodded her head and said,
"But let me drop you first then-"
I cutted her in the middle and said,
"I don't want to be the thirddddd wheeel during......the car ride. You guys are....... barely able to keep your hands....... to yourselves. I don't want to look at it....it...it's so gross !!!" I exclaimed.
"You are rightttttt. Byeee Ariiiiii......I'll miss youuuuuuuuu" Vi said and then left the club with that guy.
I sighed and started drinking my drink. Vi and Sam are both out with thier partner of the night and chilling. All this time I was focused on my career and didn't had time for all these things which I used to call time pass. Sometimes, I wish it would be so nice to have someone to share our thoughts and relax with them or party with them and just simply enjoy life. But then again, I don't wanna experience heart break and go through that pain. Many guys did asked me out but I refused each one of them cuz I didn't felt that connection with that person.
'You do feel that connection with someone.' My heart told me.
My thoughts immediately went to Nathan. I don't know much about him but what I do know is that he surely is a great person inside though he have this cold exterior outside. I don't really know what I feel for him, though. Maybe it's just a small crush from the past or just a stupid attraction on seeing the person whom I liked-
A hand placed on my thigh broke me out of my thoughts.
I looked at my left side to see a man in jeans and plain red shirt. He looked to be in his early twenties or so from my blurry vision.
Dang it that last drink was definitely messing with my eyes. I thought to myself.
"You look lost, beautiful. I've been calling from a quite a some time." He spoke while squeezing my thighs a bit. He had an american accent.
Yuck, his touch was making me so uncomfortable that I wanna just slap his ugly face. Before I could say a word, a cold voice behind me spoke,
"Hands off her you fucker."
