*She's on her way down now, shocked and flustered but everything went to plan*
Perfect just what I was hoping would happen. She's gotten in a head spin and now I can make my move, however when I see her step out onto the side walk I wasn't expecting to see her dressed like that.
"Well hello Dear, aren't we looking rather trashy tonight?" she looks at me and raises her eyebrows at me.
"Maybe but at least I'm not the one skulking around Seattle dressed like some kind of Cat Woman wanna be…honestly Elena, you have to be the one person in Seattle who dresses like someone twice their junior on Halloween night, who are you trying to impress?" she thinks that she's wounding me but truth be told she's just making me more angry, why Ethan would be interested in such a smart mouthed little brat is beyond me but then again I guess Christian is interested for some reason also.
"I don't need to impress my Dear, I have everybody already falling at my feet to become one of my most trusted acquaintances, I mean after all I am Elena Lincoln, of Escala Salon everybody knows who I am, I am the place to be when it comes to having hair, nails and massages. People want to be seen going to my salons and leaving them. It seems like you are the one trying to impress, when you have nothing to impress with…" Of course she's dressed like a slut so she's obviously dying to get some attention, maybe she needs to get the attention that her parents don't give her.
I get along with her parents just fine but she is the odd one out of that family, everyone else seems like they belong in the world of wealth and business while she seems to belong at the other end of the scale but then again I could say the same about most of the people in my social circle, anyway I digress.
She's looking at me like I have two heads. Clearly she doesn't like what I just told her. I smirk at her and she just shakes her head running her hand through her hair, I guess she's been around the Grey's too long; they all seem to do that.
"I don't need to impress people Elena because unlike you, I don't need people's constant approval or attention. God we all know that you are compensating for the fact that your husband doesn't spend as much time with you as he should because he's too busy working and yet here you are walking around dressed in leather trying to get guys to give you the attention that you fail to get at home…" my mask falls and she sees it because she takes a step towards me.
"That's right Elena, I may not have been here but people talk and I know all about Linc and his late nights at the office, whether it be from people who don't like you just as much as I do or my friends who unlike you, I don't have to buy or bribe…" she smiles at me. "I only have a few more things to say to you Elena and then if you try to talk me or come anywhere near Christian again I will go public with what I know about the both of you…." She tries to turn all serious but I don't buy it, I know she's afraid of me and the pull that I have on Christian. I know that pull for him is still there even if he's trying to deny it.
"I will do anything to protect him, because people like you disgust me, those that think they can take advantage of people who have had a screwed up life in one way or another. If that ruins my friendship with him, then I'll take that as my punishment for looking out for my best friend, but unless he tells me otherwise nothing you say to me is going to make me stay away from him…and I know that you had something to do with that article that went to The Noz, whether it be solo or with help, but you crossed the line when you dragged my family into it, when clearly your problem is with me." She pales and steps forward slightly but it does nothing to stop her tirade.
"It's not my fault if Christian doesn't want to have anything to do with you, just like I can't control his feelings for me, if in fact he has any. I didn't ask for them but I'm sure as hell not going to stop whatever happens between us because if it's going to drive you bat shit crazy while you're all alone in your big mansion than I am going to be one extremely happy, crazed, sexed up, distracted woman…because I know that you will be so pissed that you can't fucken see straight. I only have three words left to say to you Elena…..TRED VERY CAREFULLY" Well I have to say that she has more guts than I gave her credit for but I'm calling her bluff, she wouldn't destroy Christian's reputation like that.
I see him step out from the darkness and I straighten and look at him. There is every possibility that he just heard that conversation and I can't wait to see his reaction.
She smiles. "Ready to go Baby, I think it's time we were getting home…" she doesn't even turn around until after she's said it. How in the hell does she know that he's there? When I look back at her face she's smirking. That little whore is playing with fire and she will be burned.
"Of course Baby, I can't wait to get you home and tear this dress off of you…" he looks me straight in the eye as he walks up behind her and places his hand on her waist. A second after his hand connects she throws up all over me and I step forward raising my hand, disrespectful little….my hand is caught by Christian and he grips me tight and I smirk at him feeling my body respond like the sub that I was for him.
"Don't you even think about laying a hand on her…if you touch her or come near her again talking about our relationship, you will find yourself without a business…" he releases my wrist and pulls her against him, he's never let anyone that close to him before.
She takes his hand in hers and she looks at me. "Goodnight Mrs Lincoln…" I'm not stupid; I hear the sarcasm in her voice. This has to be an act, what could he possibly see in her? She's nothing like me, she can't be what he's looking for, and I know everything about him and his body. I know how to make him surrender to me. As they walk away I see the car coming up the street and I know that I have to stop this, and I can't let that little bitch destroy everything because she's jealous of me. If I can get Mr Kavanagh to take her out of the picture then I can get Christian to come back to me and we can continue what we started 6 years ago, this is not how I pictured my night turning out. God damn it, I thought I was rid of her, she's like a damn disease I can't get rid of. Ugh I hate that little whore, we have to get her out of the picture and fast, Orange is so not our colour we can't let this get out…
~oooOooo~
Christian's POV:
Having her dance against my body has turned me on, and that dress, damn she might as well not be wearing a dress at all, she is so beautiful and I want her in all the right ways, maybe even some wrong ones depending on who you ask. When she goes back to the bar I disappear to the men's room and try to get rid of this hard on that she has created, short of rubbing one out, which I refuse to do, especially in bathrooms of my own Nightclub, I just have to think of things that I find so gross to give myself some release from the pressure my jeans are causing on my dick. I try to think of everything I can to get this hard on to go away but it's no good because I just reply the whole thing through my head and Elliot started this the bastard, and he knew exactly what he was doing….
I watch Ana dancing with Mia and Kate and damn if I can't help but watch the way her hips move and her breasts bounce slightly, I can't stop thinking about her and I don't know if that's because of the nightmare she had or if it's because I want her so bad that if I look away I'm afraid that she will disappear from my life again.
She starts singing along to Rihanna's S&M while smirking directly at me and I can't help but picture her naked on my bed, under my hands, screaming my name. I bet that she is so tight and hot and sweet and so…so sexy when she's cumming, but the thought of another man being with her is doing things to me that I never knew could happen, just thinking that she could be like that with another man has me so pissed that I might not be able to see straight…
Elliot leans over and he talks in my ear as it's so loud in here. "Would you just stop eye fucking each other already and just get out there and grind the fuck out of her, take her home and do us all a favour…we can all see it, it just seems like the two of you are the only ones that can't…hell kiss the hell out of her and make her forget all about this bullshit that's going through the papers…" he does have a point, she needs to forget about all that shit. God I want to find out who said that shit and after talking to Justyce, I know that she hates Elena about as much as I do which is amazing because she never seemed to mind her that much, but she wasn't that old then and then things seemed to…go south with our friendship…I guess is really the only way you could put it in this moment.
I decide that I'm not going to think about that and take Elliot's "advice" if that's what you can call it. I grab my beer and skull what's left and then stand up and walk onto the dance floor straight up to her and take her hands, it's there…that pull to her….it's always been there but it's gotten stronger, I'm pretty sure she can feel it too because her eyes grow slightly bigger when she looks at me. I feel her fingers lace with mine and then we're dancing together, I'm not much of a casual dancer, I'm more of waltz, tango, ballroom dancer but she doesn't seem to be too embarrassed about the way I'm moving.
I decide to make a move and see just how comfortable she is, even though she is inebriated she's still got a good head on her shoulders and if she doesn't want me to do what I'm about to do she'll move away from me. I turn her around while still holding her hands and wrap them around her waist holding hers undermine so that I'm not touching her completely. She leans her body against mine and she continues to sing and I can't help it as I feel her ass rubbing up against me I get hard, I'm not gonna lie that I like it and I'm almost one hundred percent sure that there is no way I can hide it from her.
This song and having her in my arms, probably isn't the best combination right now considering how I can picture her in my room, me buried deep inside her and her moaning my name all night long but she's not running and she's not pulling away like she did last night and this afternoon, so it's a step in the right direction, again after what happened at GEH on top of all of that.
She leans her head back against my shoulder before turning out of my arms and looking at me she sings the rest of the song. I grin at her as I can see her desire in her eyes and in her body, I can see her nipples pressing against the fabric and it makes me very happy to see that reaction in her. She leaves me on the floor heading to the bar and I make my exit to get see if I can get this hard on to calm down….
After ten minutes in the bathroom I'm finally able to return out into the club and seeing Elliot dancing with Mia and Kate and I walk over to him. He smiles at me and taps me on the back before leaning in, talking into my ear
"You right there Bro, you seemed a little flustered, maybe having some fun for the first time in ages is doing you some good…" cocky prick, he knows exactly why I disappeared but he's being polite and trying not to rubbing it in.
"Yeah, yeah whatever…I'm not the one who's potentially putting myself in a position for cheating on my girlfriend with my childhood crush…" I tease and he smacks me on the back of the head and laughs.
"I would never do such a thing…" he starts to dance with Kate and I move side to side next to him trying not to look like a dick, but Mia is laughing at me while she dances around. After a few minutes of watching Elliot to make sure he indeed doesn't end up screwing things up with Frankie, I notice that Mia is staring at something. I turn around and then everything in my vision just goes green, like fucken Green-Eyed Monster green.
He's kissing her, he's fucking kissing her and she's not doing anything to stop it. Oh fuck, I have totally missed stuffed up my chance there. I look back at Mia and she looks like she's just seen a dog being run over. She's about as shocked as I am and then her face falls slightly and I want to know why.
I see Ana trying to push but it's not working, not that I'm surprised being that he's about as tall as me and probably has twenty to forty pounds on her. Before I have time to think about what I'm doing Elliot is pulling me with him and we pull the guy off her. Elliot knows that if I did by myself it would have turned into a bar brawl and that publicity is something that I don't need.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT?" I yell at the guy as Elliot keeps him from trying to get around either of us to Ana.
"S….she w….wanted it man, she was d…dancing with you on the floor and I wanted s…some…" oh so he was jealous that she was dancing with me? Now that, that I like, everybody should be jealous of me for a number of reasons, okay so maybe that's a little arrogant of me but if it's Ana and I that he's getting Green-Eyed over then I'll take that as a win.
"Well, that little stunt just cost you your right to go to any bar you please, you see this is my club and you are barred for life, and I would think very carefully about some of your next moves because I have a lot of pull in this town and I don't take kindly to low lives hitting on woman and intimating them…now I suggest you follow my brother and leave…" Elliot nods at me and he takes the douchebag to the stair exit and I nod at Jason and he follows them. Maybe he will walk off some of that alcohol and realise what a prick he was being, or fall over and smack his head, I don't really mind which way he chooses to go.
I look over to the bar hoping that Ana is still there but she's gone and I see Ethan fucking Kavanagh smirking looking in the direction of the elevator and when I follow his line of sight that's when I see her, looking pale and I know straight away that he had something to do with this and if I have to I will drag his name through the mud, because I'll be damned if he has anything to do with Ana now or in the future but right now my only concern is making sure that she's okay, seems like she's been having a rough time of lately and if he's fucken made it worse I won't be nice about what he did.
I find Elliot after checking that Ana's bag had been collected and tell him that I'm going to find Ana and ask him to keep an eye on Kate and Mia, as well as watch who Kavanagh interacts with because I will put Welch on his ass first chance I get. After saying goodbye to Mia and Kate I leave and head down to the ground which I'm assuming is where she went.
As I reach the entrance to The Mile High Club I come across my worst nightmare, for the second night in a row. Elena and Ana, within inches of each other staring each other down, except this time I might just have to throw up because of what she's wearing. Leather straight from head to toe, 6 inch knee high leather boots, tight leather pants and a halter corset top with leather jacket over her arms, if she's trying to keep a low profile she's doing a piss poor job. God, how in the hell did we ever find that hot or go anywhere near her? I have to agree with him on this one, I shiver just thinking about it.
"…If that ruins my friendship with him, then I'll take that as my punishment for looking out for my best friend, but unless he tells me otherwise nothing you say to me is going to make me stay away from him…and I know that you had something to do with that article that went to The Noz, whether it be solo or with help, but you crossed the line when you dragged my family into it, when clearly your problem is with me." God why does this have to be turning me on, I've never had someone stand up for me like that before, well a woman anyway. It has to be the alcohol affecting my judgement right? I'm still her best friend? She had something to do with the article? Why do I feel like I'm being overloaded with information in that short space of time?
"It's not my fault if Christian doesn't want to have anything to do with you, just like I can't control his feelings for me, if in fact he has any. I didn't ask for them, but I'm sure as hell not going to stop whatever happens between us because if it's going to drive you bat shit crazy while you're all alone in your big mansion while I'm alone with him then I'm going to be one extremely happy, crazed, sexed up, distracted woman…because I know that you will be so pissed that you can't see straight. I only have three words left to say to you Elena…..TRED VERY CAREFULLY" I have to say that I was not expecting that to come from her mouth, considering the amount of alcohol she's had but damn if that's not totally hot and incredibly sexy, the imagine of her being sexed up by me is not helping with my already growing erection. Great going genius, like that's not going to be totally noticeable when you step out into that light.
I take a deep breath adjust myself and wait a few seconds before I step out from behind the glass door and into the street light and she knows that I've been listening, while I don't know of everything that was exchanged before Ana made the comment about losing me as her best friend, I really don't care, I'm so over her bullshit and come tomorrow morning I will be making phone calls to pull my backing, she'll then have twenty four hours to fix it and if not I will liquate the salons and she'll be left with nothing as far as I'm concerned.
I watch Elena's face pale and her stance straightens, like she is trying to act like she's in control of this situation when I know that Ana now holds all the cards. Her biggest mistake will be to think that Ana won't do it because she doesn't want to hurt me, but she has never lied about anything so I know that if she says she'll spill I know that I have to brace myself for the fall out, as hard as that is going to be. As I continue to walk closer I feel my body start to tingle all over and I know it's because I'm in Ana's presence and it's like our bodies just call to each other.
"Ready to go Baby, I think it's time we were getting home…" Clearly she felt me as well and God damn it I have no idea why hearing Baby come out of her mouth makes my cock twitch but if she's trying to piss Elena off then I will gladly play along.
"Of course Baby, I can't wait to get you home and tear this dress off of you…" I look at Elena and I place my hand on Ana's waist and I feel her body shiver under my touch, of course that could be the fact that she has little to nothing on and it's starting to cool down quite quickly, but I believe that it was for a totally different reason, one that I was not prepared for, her throwing up all over Elena, although it is taking everything I have not to laugh, the second her hand raises and she steps forward I step into my overprotective role that I've had for Ana and for Mia most of my life and grab her wrist glaring at her, I see the flash of Submissive come over her eyes and I'm now the one that wants to throw up.
"Don't you even think about laying a hand on her…if you touch her or come near her again talking about our relationship, you will find yourself without a business…"Of course I could say the only person that can do that is me, but I guess that's not true considering the slight redness on her cheek, obviously from where her mother slapped her this afternoon. I pull Ana against me and it feels like we've been around each other the whole time. I let go of Elena as soon as I have said what I had to say and put my hand back against Ana's waist. I need to get her out of here.
Ana reaches out and takes my hand that I slipped back onto her waist and laces her fingers with mine. "Good night Mrs Lincoln…" she then turns us to head down the street and I can see the Audi slowly coming up the street. I'm assuming that Jason has been waiting in the car since Elliot escorted the dickhead out of my club. I'm surprised that he wasn't waiting to come to the rescue if anything went wrong, but my guess is that he's been keeping an eye on both me and them and he's seen that Elena never had the upper hand in this situation.
Ana wobbles slightly as we walk but I keep an eye on her and tighten my grip on her hand. Clearly the second my hand touched her, she had some sort of reaction and her body relaxed and she ended up losing her fight to keep everything down. I've never seen her drunk but with the way she was talking I would say that it was more than alcohol that had something to do with that little throw up back there.
I stop walking and I turn her to look at me "Where the hell did that come from, I remember when you wouldn't say Boo to a Ghost…" she goes to say something but ends up giggling instead. Oh that is definitely a sound that I have missed. She tries to calm down enough to talk. But my guess is that the adrenaline and the fuzziness from the alcohol are combining and she doesn't know what to say. I have to take her back to my place and make sure that she's okay, and after what I just saw I won't take no for an answer and she may not be full aware of what she did, but I will be honest with her if she asks tomorrow about what happened.
I see her shiver and I wish that I had my jacket with me to wrap around her shoulders. I'm not sure if it's because of the cold or the side effects of coming down after her Adrenaline rush that she may have just suffered from. The vomiting, the shivers, the giggling…I'm putting it all down to her body coming down from the high that was probably coursing through her body after confronting her. When Jason stops in front of me I open the door and help Ana in before climbing in myself.
"Home please Jason, I think it best Ana stay with me tonight in case I have to get a hold of my mother to come and see her…" he nods into the mirror pulling out onto the street and out of the corner of my eye I see Ana shaking her head.
"No I can't, I have to go to Kate's, she'll be worried, I can't have her mad at me, I don't want to be a burden to you…just take me there, I'll be fine…" she's babbling and it's cute but it annoys me that she thinks that it would be a burden to have her stay so that I can look after her.
I place my hands on her cheeks gently and I feel her pull back slightly but she looks at me. "It's not a problem. I'm being helpful and I doubt you want to go back there smelling like alcohol and vomit, not to mention looking like you were just in a fight with about ten different bushes…you can come back to mine, have a shower, sleep and I will make sure you get back to Kate's in the morning…" she goes to open her mouth to say something but then thinks better of it and nods before turning away from me looking out the window.
Why the hell do I feel like she is changing me all over again? I've never wanted anyone to come back to my house but with her, it's like I would be offended if she didn't. Maybe I've just been burying myself in work and the occasional sub that I haven't noticed. It's beginning to feel like I can still be that teenager that she tried to destroy, I say tried because she never really broke me like she thinks she did. I will do whatever it takes to make my life better, Ana has to make my life better, if not then I don't know what I'll do.
I have to figure out a way to make her stay in my life, the last 6 years or so have been miserable and I realise that she is the reason why, when she use to come over every day, it was the one part I looked forward to because she always said something cute or would whine to me and I couldn't help but laugh. I saw the look on my Mom's face when she saw me slipping back into the darkness that I had slowly come out of since Mia and Ana came into my life…she knew I was beginning to spiral again and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
~oooOooo~
A/N: So there we go, some of you made some comments and took them into account, hope this chapter is okay. Wrote it while also trying to write a Victim Impact Statement so lost my mojo there for a bit, but have no fair I'm another chapter and a bit ahead now because I felt a weight lifted from me so I thought I'd write while it was flowing.
As always feel free to R&R within reason of course.
Much Love,
