Song: Stephen - Crossfire
The car finally came to a stop and I looked out my window to see we were in front a restaurant. My door was then swung open and a hand grabbed me before pulling me out the car. I looked up to see Victor throwing his keys behind me. I turned to see it was the valet.
Victor's hand grabbed mine firmly before walking up to the entrance of the restaurant. A guy dressed in a suit quickly opened the door for us and Victor led us inside. We soon came face to face with a lady and Victor released my hand as he went up to talk to her.
My eyes wondered around the restaurant at how extraordinary yet beautiful it looked. The walls were in peach with the engraved designed wood which was gold. Huge chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The main floor was in marble while the dining area was in a blood red carpet.
A hand soon wrapped around my waist and I found myself walking alongside Victor. We walked through the dining area to the back where there was less people. I took my heat at a table and Victor sat across me. My eyes started to wonder around again. This time, I noticed that there were huge painting on the wall. Looking up, I also saw there were painting on the ceiling. It was more of a cloud figure. The wall painting was more of a Roman style.
"Are you even listening?" a stern voice came from in front me clearly still pissed off. My eyes dropped to Victor and I saw his jawline was tightened in anger.
"What?" I asked in a soft voice not knowing what he said.
He rolled his eyes along with letting out a sigh, "I asked if you want Sushi to start off?"
I shook my head, "Don't like Sushi. The seaweed wrap is just unappealing to me," I admitted. He let out a scoff, "Definitely a freak. Can't believe you don't like Sushi," he mumbled.
I opened my mouth to say something but an amused look came over his face. He was just waiting for me to break the rules. He was waiting for me to make some sort of mistake or break so he can just carry out his other plans of killing or hurting someone.
Not bothering to say anything, a lady in a short black dress walked over to our table. Her black hair was in a messy bun and her eyes had tired written across them. She went to pass us the menu but Victor shook his head causing her to stop mid-way.
"We're ready to order. We'll have two orders of your finest Sushi and for the main course I will have the steak with rice and Freak will have the chicken mango salad. To drink we'll have your finest wine," he ordered as she wrote it down on her notepad.
I can't believe this asshole. A salad? Really? I bit my lip as I tried to control hold in my scoff. She shook her head before walking off. I looked at Victor who was just smirking at me as his eyes trailed over my chest. His eyes finally landed on me and he laid back in his chair.
"So where you planning to go to college?" he asked still with that stupid smirk on his face. I shrugged, "I don't know yet," I lied not wanting him to know where I plan on moving. I don't intend on having a psycho stalk me.
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and started to type something in. His fingers quickly tapped the screen as I couldn't help but be thankful he dropped the topic.
My eyes trailed up and I looked around the restaurant. Everyone who was having dinner was dressed in a some sort of fancy clothing. My eyes then stopped on a familiar face.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," I mumbled to out loud.
It was Kai dressed in a suit and still wearing his shades. In his arms was a girl in a tight red dress. I believe her name was Caroline. I watched as the server next to them turned my direction and I almost ended up cursing out loud again. Kai's body turned my direction along with his face. He seemed to have noticed me because he tensed up a bit as he got closer.
"Here's the menu. I will be back in 5," there server stated as he placed the menus on the table next to Victor and I table.
The girl in the red dress sat on my side whilst Kai sat on Victor's side. Our table was a few feet away but it was still in hearing distance.
I heard a chuckle and I looked in front me to see Victor looking at Kai. "Looks like the new kid found himself a girl already, Caroline," he laughed before greeting Caroline.
"Sir," she greeted back before turning back to Kai. Kai didn't make one more or glimpse.
"Why the shades? We're inside a fancy restaurant," Victor questioned him.
Kai slowly turned to look at Victor.
My heart started beating fast. If Kai says one word wrong, this whole night would end up being a blood bath.
Kai placed a small smirk on his lips, "My girl's stunning," he shrugged.
To be honest, I almost cringed.
Victor shook his head and turned back to me. "So you said you don't know where you're going to college?" he asked as he sat up in his chair.
I swallowed the now forming lump in my throat. "Yes," my voice came out soft.
He looked at his phone which was still in his hand. "It says here that you applied to a University in New York. Another in Ireland and California. Two in Florida and then England. You got accepted to all of them," he read off his phone.
My mouth dropped in shock, "Victor, you can't just do that!" I shrieked.
His eyes trailed up from his phone with a death stare on me. "Did you just back talk me?" he questioned.
Fear started to slowly take over me. I slowly shook my head, "No."
He let out a scoff, "All you had to do was be honest and you lied," his voice rose.
"Victor, I didn't lie. You asked where I was going to go to college. I applied to a lot of colleges. I don't know which one I'll be going to," I tried to cover up.
He shoved his phone and sent another glare at me, "This is your last warning," he gritted through his teeth. I nodded my head and he just studied me for a minute before leaning back in his seat.
Our food finally arrived and I looked at my salad. Don't get me wrong but if I wanted a salad, I would of made myself one at home but quite frankly, I don't have an option. I reached for my fork before stabbing my salad. I shoved the fork in my mouth and was actually amazed at how the mango chicken tasted amazing.
I went to get another forkful of my salad but my plate was taken away. I looked up to see Victor had placed it next to him. My eyebrow rose in curiosity at to what he was planning. He picked up one of the Sushi plate and placed it in front me.
I looked at the plate in front me to see there was 6 Sushi rolls in front me. Staring at it along makes me sick. I have nothing against Sushi. It's just I can't handle raw fish or stand the seaweed in it. I looked back up at him to see he was grinning.
"Eat," he demanded as he stared at me from across the table. I shook my head, "With all due respect, if I do I will get sick. I understand you like Sushi but I don't like it. If-"
"Eat."
I let out a sigh, "Victor, please don't make me do this. I will get sick and throw-"
"Eat or the deal is off," his voice shouted causing some attention to be drawn. I looked down to my plate and let out a sigh.
I slowly picked up one of the Sushi and stared at it. "You eat every one of those rolls on your plate. If you even throw it up, the deal is off," he spoke in a venomous tone. This my friends, is what evil is.
Okay. You got this Freya. Just don't breathe through your nose or else you can taste it. Just breathe through your mouth. Just chew and don't think.
I let out a sigh and shoved the Sushi in my mouth. I quickly chewed it and swallowed it. I shoved the next one and did the same. By the 4 one I had made the mistake and breathe through my nose. I was now tasting the Sushi and the seaweed wrapping. Mostly the wrap.
I bit my tongue to stop myself from throwing up. I quickly shoved the 5 roll in my mouth and quickly chewed it before swallowing. I was now down to my last roll and I shoved it in my mouth before quickly chewing it and swallowing. I grabbed my wine glass and chugged my wine down. Within seconds it finished and I looked around the table to see there was another glass of wine.
"Take it," he stated. Without hesitation, I grabbed the glass and chugged it down. Placing the empty glass on the table, I held my head and shut my eyes. My stomach was turning upside down begging me to just throw up.
"I've never seen someone eat Sushi that fast," Victor's voice came from across the table.
I looked up to see him setting down my salad in front me. He started to slice his steak and eat it as if nothing has just happened. As if everything was normal.
"I need to go to use the bathroom," I mumbled as I stood up.
Victor lifted his hand in the air and snapped. Within seconds, our lady server walked over to our table.
"Go with her to the bathroom and make sure she doesn't throw up. If she does, tell me," he demanded. She nodded her head and I stared at Victor. "Are you sure you don't want to put me on a leash?" I found myself asking out loud. My eyes widened as I realized I back talked to him.
"Sweetheart, I already have you on a leash," he smirked before shoving a piece of steak in his mouth. I turned on my heels and looked at the server.
She started to walk off and I followed her as she led me to the side of the restaurant to the deep end. She walked inside the bathroom and I followed her inside. The door closed behind her and I saw the stall and I almost threw up but held it in. This wasn't a good idea. I walked over to the sink and took in deep breaths.
"How do you stop yourself from throwing up?" I asked as I looked at the server in the mirror.
She frowned a bit as if she felt some sort of sympathy for me. "I suggest drink a lot of water," she stated. She was obviously a silent watcher meaning she doesn't like what Victor does but she doesn't say anything because she doesn't want to get involved.
I let out a sigh and looked down at my phone to see it was only 9 o'clock.
Staring at myself in the mirror, I turned on the pipe. I rinsed my face with cold water and dried it.
"Let's go," I huffed as I tried to hold my food in. she nodded and we headed back to the table. I slowed down as I saw a small table next to our table which was stacked with a bunch of different alcohol drinks.
I slowly made my way to my seat and sat down to see Victor was finishing his steak. He looked at the server, "Well?" he asked.
She shook her head, "She didn't throw up Sir," she stated.
He waved her off and she walked away. He then turned to the table with the drinks next to us which was on my right and he took out two glass cups. He placed one in front me and the other in front him. He then reached to the drinks and I watched as his hand hovered over the bottles as he was deciding to pick one.
He then picked up a bottle labelled Sunset Rum and opened it. He poured himself some quarter way and leaned over to pour me some. Instead of giving me quarter of a glass, he filled it half way up.
He placed the bottle back on the table and grabbed his drink before looking back at me.
"You have two options. You can eat another plate of Sushi and you have to keep it down or you can drink 7 cups of this rum," he nodded to the rum.
I stared at him in shock. "Victor, please don't -"
"Choose. You have 1 minute to decide or I will choose for you," he demanded in a loud voice.
I stared at the plate of Sushi that was in the middle of the table then at the drink. If I eat anymore Sushi, I know I wouldn't be able to hold it down. I'm having enough trouble holding my food down already. If I drink the rum, I will most likely get drunk. I've gotten tipsy before but never drunk. Sushi or Rum?
"Time's up," he stated.
"Rum," I quickly replied. An amused look came to his face, "Really?"
I nodded my head. He nodded to the cup and I let out a sigh as I picked it up. As the cup got closer to my mouth, the smell of the rum was so strong it made me pull my head back a little.
"We don't have all day Freya," his voice came out firm.
I lifted the glass to my lips and took a mouthful in. I swallowed it and found myself coughing as it went down with a strong burn.
"Come on. You can do it," Victor spoke with a bit of annoyance in his tone.
I took a deep breath and started to chug it down. Ignoring the burning, I drank it all down. I placed the cup down on the table and he refilled it again. I chugged and again. By the 6 cup, the burning was no longer there. I let out a sigh as I slowly drank the drink.
"Victor, it's to much," I whined. He shook his head and I felt the room tilting a little, "You either finish it or eat the Sushi," he stated.
I let out a huff and chugged my drink. I placed my cup on the table and laid my head down on the table as he poured me my last drink. He slide the cup towards me and I slowly sat up only to feel a sensation of being high. The room was slowly tilting and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Last cup," Victor's voice came across the table. I grabbed the cup and chugged it down before placing it back down on the table. I looked up and saw Victor with a smirk.
"What?" I asked in a soft voice.
He shrugged, "I just didn't think you could hold all that alcohol in."
I let out a giggle and let out a curse as I couldn't stop myself from giggling. "Someone's all giggly now," Victor chuckled.
"Assh-...As I was saying, yes," I slurred out as I tried to cover up my curse.
His eyebrow rose, "You really think you could cover up you calling me an asshole?" he asked.
"For fuck sake Vic, I say stupid shit when I'm drunk," I huffed as I placed my chin on the table and looked at him.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Fine, only this one time I'll let it slip." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. He then passed it to me which I took it. I opened it and saw it was a gold rhinestone keychain of the eiffel tower. I looked back up to him with a questionable look.
(Pic of keychain below)
"It's yours," he gave me a genuine smile. I looked at him in confusion. Never in my life have I or anyone in this town seen Victor with a genuine smile. The only time he came close to a smile was when he killed someone.
"It's cute but I don't want it," I stated as I closed the box and passed it back to him.
He nodded his head but kept the smile as he took the box back. "Alright." He looked at his watch and got up before looking down at me.
"It's almost 11. Let's go take a trip," he stated as he pulled out his phone and typed something in. I was honestly hoping that this dinner would go until 12.
I slowly got up and felt the room spinning. I felt as if I was doing to fall so I grabbed the nearest thing I could to catch my balance. "Still drunk I see," Victor's voice came in front me. I looked up to see I had grabbed on to Victor's arm. Great.
"I'm not drunk," I defended as I slowly let go of his arm.
He let out a laugh, "Really? What 36 time 40 divided by 2?" he asked. I held up my fingers as I slowly started to count.
"36 time 40 is........." I slurred off as I tried to find the answer.
"Freya, your smart in math. You're drunk if you take this long. Now we have to walk to the car. Can you walk?" he asked.
I nodded my head and he turned on his heels before walking away. I went to take a step but felt myself stumbling. A hand caught me and I blindly thank the person not bothering to look at them.
"Welcome," a deep voice mumbled. I let out a sigh knowing who it was now. Kai.
I looked up at him to see he had a frown on his face as he looked at me. My stomach twisted and I sucked in a sharp breath trying to hold down my food.
My eyes trailed behind him and I slowly the lump forming in my throat again. It was Victor clearly pissed off.
"Why are your hands on her?" Victor growled at Kai who then released my hand and turned around to look at Victor. I stumbled in between them and accidently bumped into Victor's chest.
"I was about to fall. He just caught me. That's all," I tried to explain to Victor. He looked down at me then at Kai. "Let's go," I spoke in a soft tone as I tugged on his jacket trying to prevent a fight or even a death.
Victor let out a sigh as he looked down at me. His eyes narrowed to me, "I'm going to ask you one more time. Can you walk?" he asked.
I slowly shook my head. Within a swift move, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder so I was looking at his back. "Victor!" I shrieked.
"Shut up," he hissed causing me to become quiet. "Just know how lucky you are," he gritted through his teeth at Kai. Victor then turned on his heels as started to walk away. I looked at Kai who was just staring back at me. I let out a sigh and stared at Victor's back.
My food was just begging to come out. My body felt all icky. My mind was drunk and I couldn't help but wish this was all over soon. I just wanted to be home already with Ethan. How much more of this can I take?
