~chapter 8~
The club was loud and reeked of alcohol-
"I can't believe you've dragged me here!" I say over the loud song and Loren pulls me into the crowd.
"We're here for Brittany!" She says and I watch as Brittany looks like she is in her element so I have to suck all my bad energy away.
"Fine but I'm not going to be hungover for school" I say sounding like a prude which makes Loren roll her eyes as she passes me a shot
I don't want to be here
"Dance with me?" Asks Loren pulling me into the crowd and I find myself dancing stupidly next to a crowd of sweaty people
"Can we go now?" I shout to Loren but she doesn't hear me as she is singing the words to a loud song that blasts your brain out.
"I'm going on toilet!" I shout getting nearer her so she can hear and she nods letting go of my hand as she weaves her way into the crowd
"Fuck this" I mutter cradling my headache and I don't know why I'm feeling like such a grumpy butch but maybe it's the fact that Mr Romano is stuck in my head every hour of the day.
"Where you going?" Asks Aaliyah and I pull my dress up to hide my cleavage telling her the lie that I'm going to the toilet
"See you later then!" She says and I leave the club making sure no one I know sees me and once the cool air hits me I let out a sigh
A tall person bumps into me and sends me falling to the floor and I land on my ankle which makes an unsatisfying crunch sound
Damn you heels
"Shit sorry" says the guy and I look up to see Mr Romano offering me his hand and I gasp as my heart rate rises by twenty percent
"Mr Romano?" I say and I take his hand as he pulls me up but I groan and fall to the floor as my ankle feels like it's about to snap
"Cara I'm so sorry, do you want me to ring an ambulance?" He says looking at me with concern and I shake my head
"No, no just help me up please Sir" I say and he nods pulling me up and he puts my arm around his shoulder as he takes me to his car
"Shall I take you to hospital?" He asks me looking at me as I sit in his car shaking my head and I lean my head back feeling my ankle throb
"No I'll have a painkiller, I'll be fine" I say and he nods at me looking unsure but nods passing me a bottle of water
"Thanks" I say and I take a sip feeling nauseous and the need to take off this skintight dress cutting into me
"Do you want me to drive you home?" He asks me looking over and I nod as I look at his suit that he was wresting today clenching my legs together
"Yea please, if that's not too much trouble" I smile sweetly and he nods pulling away from the club and I wince at the pain in my ankle
"You sure you're okay Miss Delores?" He asks me again and I wince because of my surname not my ankle this time, "please call me Cara" I say
He nods and then flickers his eyes over to me for a second before sighing, "why were you clubbing?" He asks me back to his teacher tone
"Uhm my friend wanted me to come, I couldn't really deny her but I got bored and left then bumped into you" I say rubbing my ankle
His hand touches my ankle and I stop for a second, my heart in my mouth and I hear him gulp as he pulls away, his skin leaving electricity.
"Cara history is repeating itself, I might have to start to tell your father if this continues to happen" he says and I roll my eyes
"Please don't! Sir I will do anything, just don't tell him!" I say and he chuckles slightly pulling into my street as I point the directions to him
"Fine Cara but if this happenes for the third time..." he says and I touch his arm, "it won't, I'm sorry" I say and he nods, "ok then"
"So why we're you outside a club Mr Romano?" I ask him and he blows out a deep breath as he cuts the engine on the car rubbing his face
"Girlfriend troubles" he says and I try not to gasp
He has a girlfriend?
What. The. Fuck.
"Oh right, sorry if I stopped you from getting drunk" I joke and he gives me the side eye as he turns the ignition of his car off.
"Thank you" I say and he nods just as I'm about to step out of the car seeing my phone blow up with messages I sigh
"Wait..." He says taking my arm and I smile as I turn my body back around to look into his mocha brown eyes filled with passion
"There's a fundraiser for the Art department tomorrow night, you're invited" He says letting go of my arm and I'm half tempted to put it back there
"Sounds good, what time?" I ask shuffling slightly in my seat ready to walk on my ankle
"Six pm, you can bring your dad if you like, please wear formal attire though" He says and I nod blushing picturing the perfect dress.
"Goodnight Sir" I says telling out of his sleek, fast and furious style car that suits him down to a T. He nods, "goodnight Cara"
"Where the hell have you been?" Says my Uncle in an authoritative tone that pulls me straight out of my fantasy world involving Mr Romano.
"I told you, I was with Loren- sleepover" I say and he folds his arms over his chest rolling his eyes like I've just lied- which I have but still
"When you have a sleepover you typically sleep over so I don't believe that and who dropped you off in the batmobile" he attempts to crack a joke
I cringe slightly and shuffle in my heels feeling my ankle about to give way and he steps closer to me, "why do you smell like alcohol and sweat?" He asks me wincing as he steps closer and I step back taking off my heels
"Ok you busted me! I went to a club and left because I was too tired" I say avoiding the topic of who dropped me off to avoid World War three.
"Well this better not happen again Cara Delores or I'm disowning you! No joke!" He says scolding me but with a hint of sarcasm
"Alright pops" I say for the irony as my Uncle has took us the role of being my father.
I guess the topic of my parents is taboo. All my uncle told me was that they both died in a car crash, my dad was my Uncles brother.
I only have a few pictures of them and my dad was a young Brad Pitt lookalike and my mum had similar undertones to an 80s model.
I take off my tight dress and text back Loren who has sent me many panicky texts asking me where I am and if I got abducted
Me
I'm fine Loren. Just got home, Uncle needed me, make it up to you xx
Loren
Ugh okay, see you at school tomorrow- gonna need a hangover remedy xx
Me
Can't say I'm looking forward to it ;) xx
