After calmly explaining to Grandpa and Yugi where I was for the past seven or eight hours, they understood and I treated myself to a warm and soothing shower. He was worried when he called the Arcade asking the staff to send me home, they replied with the fact I wasn't there all day, that was why he was upset, but I cleverly lied my way out of it, saying that Duke changed his mind and wanted to go to the café instead. Of course he believed me, I am very persuasive. I then headed to my room to get dressed. After ten minutes of choosing, I slipped in my clean but ordinary blue jacket, black trousers, polished shoes, belts and choker. If she liked me, she'll understand that I don't change who I am or the way I dress for anyone. She should respect that. I combed my hair back to its spiky and tri-colored self and it was then that I heard a car horn and as I noticed outside my window, Duke was waiting. I headed downstairs, said goodbye and left.
I got in the front of the convertible to notice Duke was wearing ordinary clothes just like myself, only he smelled like he bathed in perfume or deodorant for three days. "Ordinary, nice man. Just like mine," Duke said with a smile. It was nice to hear Duke compliment my clothing. "Yeah, you too man, only I don't smell like a whore's handbag," I replied with a smile. "Do you wanna walk?" Duke asked playfully with a smile. "No, no. sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, let's go," I played back with a crafty smile. Duke pulled away and he drove back to the centre of town. Domino was darker now and as we pulled up on the sidewalk and Duke slammed his fist on the horn, I began to wonder on what Lexi was going to look like tonight. A minute passed and still no sign of them.
I then noticed a tune. It was Duke's phone.
Duke seized it from his pocket and without looking who it was, he pressed the accept button and spoke. "Devlin here," Duke said. I heard mumbles coming from the other end of the phone. "Yeah, alright we'll be right up," Duke finished after a minute of conversation. He then returned his phone to his pocket and opened the car door. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Lexi hasn't finished her hair, so Mindy invited us up, the door's on the latch, come on," Duke insisted. I didn't need telling twice. I exited the car and Duke locked it up. We opened the front door, which was on the latch and went inside. "Whoa dude," Duke said as we entered. Big front room, cream curtains and carpets, clean as if they have been scrubbed MILLIONS of times. Cream leather couch, widescreen TV, lamp, rug, pictures on walls.
The works.
It looked like a family lived here. The hallways were lined with lino flooring, light brown painted walls, mirrors, shoes. TONS of shoes. Pine wood desk. Everything was neat and tidy, not one speck out of place. "We'll be down in a minute!" Mindy called from upstairs. "Alright," Duke called back. "Help yourself to the alcohol," Mindy called again. "Thanks!" Duke replied. He grabbed two glasses. He poured out some brandy into two glasses and filled the empty spaces of the glasses with Coke. He handed me the glass. "You ever tried Brandy dude?" Duke asked. I shook my head, I remember my father giving me some sort of liquor back when I was Pharaoh's son but nothing by the name of brandy. "Well my dad hands me a glass every so often, either that or I steal it from his cupboard, it's nice stuff although it'll put some hair on your chest," Duke explained. "Strong huh?" I asked taking a smell from the glass, by Christ I nearly passed out at an instant, the smell alone nearly knocked me over.
"Down it," Duke ordered. I watched him down his glass in one. I copied him.
The brandy burned my throat as it slid down to my stomach. My eyes squinted at the strength of the alcohol. I swallowed it down and Duke laughed at me. "It takes some getting used to, but hey nice though huh?" he asked. I nodded. It was nice but very strong. "You want another?" I asked him. I wanted to try it again. "Nah dude, not until the club, otherwise we'll have to walk, against the law to drink and drive you know," Duke pointed out. Well for once he had a point. He returned the brandy to the cupboard and we sat down on the couch. We waited another five minutes before we heard a door open upstairs and we heard the girls chatting. We stood up and waited for them. They came down the stairs and as they came into full view, I froze. So did Duke. They stopped at the bottom of the stairs and smiled at us. "You like it?" Mindy asked. WOW. With a capital W. Both Duke and I were speechless. Mindy was dressed in a red and black diamond patterned corset-like top with black trousers and black heels, not too big. Her hair straight at top, slight curls at bottom, Diamond earrings and the same wristband. I could tell Duke was amazed.
I was more amazed by Lexi. Her hair was long, straight and shiny. Her wrist lined with bangles and her wristband. Her shoes were blue heels, like Mindy's not big, but enough to notice. She wore a blue dress, the same blue as I was dressed in. Whoa. I was just as stunned as Duke. "You, look amazing, both of you," Duke stuttered. I swallowed a lump in my throat and nodded with a smile at Lexi. She blushed slightly. We were all stunned by silence until Mindy broke it. "Well this is certainly an interesting way to start, let's go," Mindy giggled. Me and Duke left the house. Mindy and Lexi locked up and climbed into the back of the convertible in which me and Duke were sat comfortably in front. "Everybody ready?" Duke asked. "Yeah," I replied, the girls mirrored my speech. Duke sped off and as we drove up the road Mindy began talking to Duke. "So Duke where are we going?" She asked. "To this nightclub I know, it's only for eighteen year olds so we won't be bugged by those desperate old people," Duke replied.
I laughed and so did the girls.
He turned the car a corner and after another two minutes of talking and chatting and driving, we arrived in a car park. We evacuated the car and Duke locked up. As Duke put his keys in his pocket I walked over to Lexi with confidence. "So hey, you wanna link arms?" I asked, I waited for her to turn down the offer, but she actually surprised me. "Yeah, why not?" she giggled and linked arms with me. Duke and Mindy walked over, just as themselves. "They make a lovely couple huh?" Mindy giggled. Lexi blushed. "I was just about to say the same," Duke replied with a chuckle. Lexi blushed again. "Shut up Duke," I snapped. Lexi smiled at me. "Alright dude, don't get touchy," Duke replied. He walked off with Mindy and me and Lexi followed. We walked round the corner. The line to this club was HUGE. "We're gonna wait here forever!" Lexi complained. "No, don't worry, I got it covered," Duke replied. "We're not pushing in," I replied.
Duke laughed.
"Just follow me Atem," Duke replied. I nodded. We walked past the line, up to the bouncer. "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you and your company to get to the back of the line," The bouncer asked. He was a huge man, he looked like a building with feet and in a suit. "I have reservations in the VIP," Duke replied. "Name?" the bouncer asked. "Devlin, Duke Devlin," Duke replied folding his arms. The bouncer checked his lists. "Apologies Mr. Devlin, go on in," The bouncer replied stepping aside. We walked in. Wow, Duke had really come through for us. We walked inside and this time, I insisted on buying first drinks. We all had alcohol. I handed over the cash and we walked off into the VIP section. We sat at a table and began drinking. "Wanna dance?" Lexi asked me. How could I refuse an offer like that? I smiled. "Yeah, come on then," I replied. We went down onto the dance floor and danced together, I wasn't really comfortable to begin with but she did calm me down. We had tons of fun dancing together in amongst what seemed like a sea of people, we had to be really close, which I didn't mind at all. Duke, I noticed was sitting at the VIP table still with his arm round Mindy and talking while drinking some more. Me and Lexi danced together for two full songs and then she announced she needed to go to the toilet, which can't be helped.
I said I'd grab us a drink each and when she came back we'd dance again. She nodded and left my side. I headed back up to the VIP table. Duke was talking into Mindy's ear and she was giggling when I approached the table. Duke turned his head and looked at me when I was about ten centimeters from the table. "Hey man, you enjoy your dance?" Duke asked. Mindy looked at me too. I sat down next to Mindy. "Yeah, it was nice, Lexi has just gone to the toilet," I replied. "Well, then Atem, go and get some drinks for you and her," Duke replied. Mindy smiled. "I was going to man," I replied and just as I turned round Mindy stopped me. "Wait, I'll go with you. I wanted to buy us some drinks anyway Duke, so do you want the same brandy and coke?" Mindy asked. "Yeah," Duke replied. "Alright, well I'll be back in a minute," Mindy replied getting up. "Good, so we can finish that chat, I wanted to say something," Duke replied winking at her. She smiled back and we walked off. We headed to the bar and the bartender walked over. "I'll take a brandy and coke and a vodka and coke," Mindy said. "Yeah and I'll take a brandy and coke with a WKD blue," I added. The bartender nodded and fetched the glasses. "So Lexi is real into you isn't she?" Mindy asked. I was shocked. That was news to me. "I dunno is she?" I asked in shock. "Yeah, she really likes you Atem, although Duke said you have anger problems sometimes, she finds you really sweet and attractive," Mindy explained.
If I had a drink, I would have spat it all over the poor girl.
"Really?" I asked. She nodded. Lexi walked over as the bartender placed the drinks on the bar. Mindy handed over the cash. "Keep the change," She said. He winked and she collected the drinks and headed off back to Duke. He handed me my drinks and I paid him the money. I handed Lexi her drink, I looked over to Duke and it was then I noticed another girl was sitting near Duke at our table. That might upset someone. "Shit," I said. "What?" Lexi asked. "Look," I said pointing to the table. Her smile dropped and she chased after Mindy. I chased after them. We got to the table. Duke was edging away from the girl. "No I'm serious go away," Duke said pushing the girl away. "Oh come on baby," the girl soothed. Mindy's fists shook while holding their drinks. "Hey you little tart," Mindy spat shaking with anger. The girl looked at Mindy. Me and Lexi stood behind Mindy. "Take a hint sweetheart and get lost," Mindy spat. The girl looked annoyed. "Who are you?" She asked. "I'm his girlfriend so get lost before you'll be wearing my heel in your head," Mindy spat.
The girl took off. Mindy stopped her.
"Hey sweetheart," Mindy snapped and as the girl turned around Mindy threw the glass of Vodka and Coke over the girl. Then she took a one dollar note from her pocket and stuffed it down the girl's bra. "By yourself a treat," Mindy snapped. The girl walked away. Mindy took her place next to Duke, his head was turned facing her, he couldn't believe what she just done and was staring at her mouth agape. She seized the brandy and coke and downed it in one. Me and Lexi just watched them. "Come, on let's leave them," Lexi said as she took my hand sparks flew. As we left Mindy put her leg over Duke's. "I really like you will you go out with me?" Mindy asked and before Duke could answer she planted a giant kiss on his lips.
