Hunter was there where she texted him to be. As she guessed, her mom had passed out on the couch so she didn't bothered to be quiet about getting out of there.
Hunter was straddling his bike as he watched her approached and handed her helmet, she put it on and climbed behind him.
She was glad that Hunter doesn't asked her any question when he started the engine and rode off. She sighed as she buried her face into the back of his shirt and close her eyes, trying to block out all negative thoughts.
"Where are we?" she asks when the engine stops. The street was pretty deserted she noticed when she climbed down.
"We hang out here" he shrugged, "Come on"
He leads her to the building that had sign outside, she realized that it was a some kind of club. A club she had never heard of.
The music blasted inside when Hunter opened and usher her to get in.
The place wasn't as full as the clubs she used to go. She saw the men here were very 'Hunter-like' No wonder he goes here. Girls who barely wear cloths strutted around, trying to talk to the men. Probably trying to hook up with the guys.
A few guys called out Hunter on their way to a table and he nodded or waved in return.
"Want a drink?" he asks.
"Uhh..." should she lie? She really needed a drink after all.
"It's okay. No one cares here" he said as if reading her mind.
"okay" she mumbled.
"Aron" Hunter shouts loudly making her jump, addressing the guy who was busy serving other customers "Two here. Now"
"You're not a King asshole" the guy behind the bar shouts back.
"Bout time you get used to the fact that I am dickhead"
Hunter grins making Aron glare at him while muttering something else.
"Wow" Was all Anna could say.
"That's our form of endearment"
"Okay?" she's not too convinced.
"Here" Aron slams two beer mugs down the table.
"Aww don't be like that sweetie. You will get a tip" Hunter said as if he's talking to a woman.
The guy shook his head before his eyes shifted to her, and blinked, "Uhh.."
"This is Anna"
"Hey" Anna greets.
"Ookay"
"Problem?" Anna asks when she read his expression, confusion.
He smiled while shaking his head, "Just wasn't expecting you"
Anna couldn't decide if he was being mean but he seems genuine enough.
"Not the kind of girl Hunter's usually with?" she jokes, knowing exactly she is.
"Yeah"
Anna blinked, she didn't expect him to actually say yes. She was aware herself what kind of girls exactly does Hunter usually hangs out with.
"Aron" Hunter said in a warning tone that makes Anna wondered what was going on.
"Enjoy" Aron faked a smile before he goes back to his place.
Anna picked up the mug and drowned half of it.
"Whoa, slow down" he chuckles.
Anna doesn't listen and keep on drinking, "Just order me another one"
"Hunter?" they hear a soft voice called out. Anna turned to look at the owner of the voice and her eyes widen, she's petite little thing, and super cute. Maybe Hunter's sister?
"Coutney" Hunter stood up to greet her, Courtney laughed and flung herself into Hunter's arms that makes Anna scowl.
She narrowed her eyes on her, definitely not a sister by the way she looked at Hunter like he's her world.
She also didn't miss the way Hunter's eyes soften when he pulled back to look at her.
She's so tiny. Like Pikachu. Anna disliked her. Hunter's too tall for Courtney, she decided.
Who like Pikachu!
Everyone. Gaga answered her.
Deep inside, she knew they look good together.
Damn it. Why does she have to be so darn cute.
Why does it bother her again? She's drunk! That's just it.
"I though the sign outside read 5 feet above club"
Both Courney's and Hunter's eyes snapped to her. Courtney looks intimidated by her. Good.
Hunter doesn't look too happy. Bad.
She felt the need to glare at him. Hunter shouldn't had taken her out if he had a girlfriend or anything.
"Ca-can we t-talk outside?"
Anna had to bite her tongue to stop herself from imitating the mousy thing.
"Sure" He turned to her, "Excuse us for a moment"
She scowled again, Hunter actually said excuse! The f*ck.
Hunter didn't reply and they walk outside.
Anna realised Hunter didn't get her another drink, she definitely needed one.
Anna realised Hunter doesn't gets her another drink, she definitely needed one.
She approached the bar and sat on one of the stool and wait for the bartender to turn to her but he was too busy flirting with the cute girls a few feet from her.
She growled in annoyance and was about to shout, "Hey, as-"
"Anna" it was Aron, "What can I get you?"
She sighed in relief, "Another beer"
She watch his movement before he handed her the thing she needed.
"Where's Hunter?"
Hey, she should use this opportunity to find out who the mousy Courtney was.
"He's with his sister Courtney" she said bitterly.
Aron chuckled, "She was his high school sweetheart" he corrected her like she expected.
Anna didn't missed the part where he used 'was'
"Now I know what's up with the 'Not the type of girl' "
"Yeah, Courtney was the only girl he ever brought here"
Yup, his answer cleared it up even more.
She's just the type of girl Hunter had flings with, she remembered. He said the shy/nerdy types were trouble, he should have just said that they are the type of girls that would tie him down and he's not ready for that.
She disliked all the nerdy ones more. Just because she's a bitch doesn't mean that she cannot make a good wife!
Not that she meant Hunter's wife or anything.
Hunter fucking ditch her. She should just go ho-
"Anna" Hunter settles down beside her while Courtney sat beside him and wouldn't meet her eyes.
Anna sighed, "I better go home"
"No. Stay. We just talked a bit. Been a while since we last saw each other"
"I meant it's getting late and I'm a bit tipsy"
"You okay?" he leaned down to study her face, she was heating up under his intense eyes, just then mousy Courtney decided to interrupt.
"I better go home too. It's going to rain"
That made Anna snapped, "Oh really? I'm sure I will feel it first"
Courtney's eyes widen and sunken back to her place.
She heard Hunter sighed, "Come on, I'll take you home. Courtney, good night, it was nice to see you again"
Courtney looked disappointed, Anna wants to get straight to her face and say 'Ha ha!' she never reached this this level of smugness before.
Hunter's big hands engulf hers and he led her out. Anna somehow felt this need to show Courtney her tongue.
That would be totally immature but she can't help but turn back to her head and wink without Hunter seeing that.
Courtney's eyes widen at that her her cheeks redden in both anger and embarrassment.
Your turn is over.
Wait, where did that came from?
Well, not her fault she just felt competitive. Besides, Hunter's actually a nice guy so she wants to protect him. That was why.
"What the fuck was that?" He asks outside. Her happiness didn't lasted long.
"What." She played innocent.
"You know what I mean"
"It's not me. The voice in my head is telling me to do it" she said defensively.
'Great job. You are blaming me. Me. In other words, yourself' gaga snorted.
He blinked before he recovers, "Oh really"
"Yeah, it's gaga"
"Gaga?" Anna sees his hard eyes softening up and could tell that he was fighting a smile. For some weird reason, she felt butterflies in her tummy.
"Yup. You know the voice in the head that tells you what to do even if you don't what to"
"I see. Well, tell gaga that Courtney is a friend, she's nice so don't let her do it again. Courtney doesn't deserve that" he makes her want to stump her feet and throw a tantrum for some reason so she glared at him.
"Gaga didn't do that because of you. She just doesn't like pikachu"
"Who the hell doesn't like pikachu"
"We don't" she snaps.
He groans, reaching up to trace her mouth with his thumb like he has every right, "What am I going to do with you? Tell me?"
He is staring at her like she's adorable. No one ever think she is.
His hand drop and gave her a lazy grin, "Tell gaga that you are still my favourite"
Her jaw dropped and when she recovers he already walked back in so she followed him, flustered in both embarrassment and a bit anger.
"Omg. You are so full of yourself. Listen to me. I do not want to be anyone's favourite!"
But Hunter didn't listen.
'Admit it. You do like being his favourite' gaga said helpfully.
Maybe she did. She had never been anyone's favourite.
"Do you really wanna go home?" he asks.
NO.
"Well..."
"What about a ride around the town for a bit"
"Sure" she shrugged. While she was glad that he could read her at that point.
