Chapter Eleven
That night, Guy and Rena went to a nightclub called Johnny's. When they entered, they saw tons of lights flashing around and people dancing close to each other.
"Looks like an interesting place!" Rena cried trying to talk louder than the loud music that played. The bass of the music made them feel as though their own hearts are pounding with the beat.
"What?" cried Guy, trying his best to hear her.
"Nevermind!"
"Do you want to get something to drink?"
"What?"
Guy gave up and took Rena's hand gently, catching her by surprise. Then, he began to lead her towards the bar area.
When they got to the bar, Guy ordered himself and Rena two bottles of water, not wanting to get himself drunk. They were now far away from where the music was playing.
"So why here?" asked Rena looking at Guy.
Guy looked back at her. "I guess I wanted to go someplace, well, loud." A frown appeared on his face. "If you want, we can go someplace else."
"No," Rena replied. "Don't worry about it. I kind of want to release all this energy I have right now."
Guy laughed a little. "All right, if you insist."
Then, their drinks were served. Rena raised the water bottle. "To us!"
Guy smirked. "To us!"
They clink their water bottles together. Then, someone knocked into Guy a little bit. Annoyed, Guy turned around to see who bumped into him. He became even more annoyed as he saw two blonds making out with each other.
"Could go guys cool it?" he asked as politely as possible.
The couple turned to him. Soon, Guy became a bit shocked as he recognized Cody and Jessica.
"Cody? Jessica?"
"Hey, buddy! What's happening?" Cody cried out. Guy quickly smelled the scotch coming out of his mouth.
'Needless to say, he's definitely drunk,' Guy thought.
"Um, nothing much."
"Hi, Rena!" cried Jessica who was also drunk.
"Um, hi," Rena replied.
"Isn't this a fun place, Guy?" Cody asked. "I mean, really, you never go to places like this."
Guy was a little shocked that he asked this. He figured that Cody wouldn't remember crap when drunk even if he tried. Guy had to give him credit for remembering at least that.
"It's all right," Guy replied. "But they don't have to make it so loud, the music I mean."
"That's the best part about clubs," said Jessica. "There's plenty of loud music, great dancing, and this place has the best Whiskas!"
"Um, baby," Cody said. "It's whiskey, not Whiskas. Whiskas is a cat food… or is it a dog food?"
"No it's not, honey!" Jessica cried out. "It's Whiskas!"
Guy and Rena tried not to laugh. They realized how funny Cody and Jessica can be when they were drunk.
Cody looked back at Guy and Rena. "We're going to be dancing now! Ciao!"
"Ciao!" cried Jessica. The two of them wobbled to the dance floor.
Guy blinked a couple of times. "It's a good thing neither of them have their licenses."
"Yeah," Rena replied. "Let's just be careful here."
"That sounds good to me."
Then, silence fell between the two. They found themselves watching people dancing on the dance floor as they drink out of their bottled waters.
The heat of the room started to get to Rena. She took off her jacket, but even with short sleeves on, she still didn't feel comfortable.
Guy noticed this. "Is everything all right?" he asked.
"Nothing," Rena answered. "It's just pretty hot in here. Do you mind if I stopped at the bathroom?"
"No problem," Guy replied.
Then, to Guy's surprise, Rena gave him a quick peck on his cheek. Then, she pulled away and started making her way towards the bathroom. Guy touched the part of his face she kissed him.
'I'm definitely falling for her,' he thought. 'But am I ready to admit it to her?'
Then, he noticed both Cody and Jessica walked over to him.
Oh great…
"Hey again, buddy!" cried Cody, giving Guy a light punch in the arm.
"Um, hi," Guy replied.
"Where's Rena?" asked Jessica.
"She'll be back. She felt a bit uncomfortable so she went to the bathroom."
"How could she feel uncomfortable?" Cody asked. "I mean, she's with you for crying out loud!"
Guy narrowed his eyes at his best friend.
Rena let the water fall on to her hands underneath the faucet. She tried to collect as much of it as possible. When she did, she splashed it on to her face. She felt more cooled down than she did before.
'That's better,' she thought. Then, she began reapplying her lip-gloss.
'I wonder what Guy is doing at the moment. He's probably being tortured by Cody and Jessica, ha ha. I better get out there and save him.'
She put her lip-gloss away in her small purse before she started to make her way out of the bathroom. After stepping out, someone stepped in front of her. She looked up thinking that it was Guy, but to her surprise, it was a stranger. The stranger was probably in his 40's and not very good looking with his long, greasy brown hair. Just by the smell of him and his glassy eyes, he was way more drunk than Cody and Jessica were combined.
"Hey there Princess," the man said with a smile, showing off yellow teeth with a few missing. "How about we go somewhere and get it on."
Rena narrowed her eyes. "Just leave me alone." She tried to walk around him, but the stranger wouldn't let her.
The man laughed. "I'm afraid that's not an option." Then, he grabbed her arms quickly.
"Let go of me!" Rena cried out angrily. Then, she attempted to kick him in the stomach, but because of his tall height, her foot landed hard on his 'special place.'
"Oof!" the man cried out. He quickly fell on his knees in pain.
Guy had only turned his head in time to see Rena kick the man.
"Rena!" he called out. He jumped out of his seat and began to make his way towards her. He looked at the drunken man, who was holding his special spot and was groaning in a lot of pain. He ran over to Rena.
"Rena, are you all right?" he asked frantically.
Rena growled a little bit, which surprised him. "Damn it! I meant to kick him in the stomach, not there!" She then let's out a sigh. "Oh well, maybe next time."
"Do… you want me to take you home now?" Guy asked.
Rena looked at him. "Sure. I'm getting pretty tired any ways."
"All right. But first, we have to find Cody and Jessica and at least try to get him out of here."
"Sounds good to me," Rena replied. From there, they begin to look for Cody and Jessica again.
