When You're Around

Chapter 3

It was finally Friday, and Chloe couldn't have been more relieved. The week had seemed to drag on, the days were never ending. She had left school at five, picked up a small dinner for herself and Jessica and went back to her apartment. She sat on her couch with Jess and flipped on the TV, getting caught up on the news in the world as they ate dinner. They stayed on the couch well after they finished their food and Chloe didn't get up until she had to go to the bathroom. After she was done, she glanced at the clock and saw it was getting pretty close to nine, that was when Rachel was going to pick them up to go to the club.

"Alright, Jess, I think we should get ready now." Chloe said, pulling Jess from her spot on the couch.

She whined. "I don't want to. I'm too tired."

"I know, me too, but you know Rach, she's not going to let us get out of this. She's relentless." Chloe explained as she walked into the bathroom, turning on her curling iron.

Jess walked into the bathroom and began to put on her makeup while Chloe walked into the kitchen. She walked back into the bathroom carrying two glasses of white wine. "Here, this should help."

Jess laughed. "Thanks, I'm definitely going to need this." She said, taking a sip. Chloe placed her glass on the counter and began to softly curl her hair. "I hope there's a hot guy there tonight for you." Jess said.

"For me? I don't need a man." She said.

"Please girl, you need to get laid."

Chloe let out a laugh that also could have doubled as a gasp of shock. "You sound like my mother," She said then paused. "well, not exactly but you get what I'm saying. She won't lay off on the guy front. I don't need it from you too."

"Chlo, your mom wants you to get married, I want you to get laid. Hardly the same thing." Jess said as she took a step back from the mirror to make sure her eyeliner was even on both eyes. Chloe just rolled her eyes and continued curling her hair. Once she was done, she moved onto makeup, doing a nice slightly heavy smoky eye. After she was done, she walked over to her closet to find something to wear. After some deliberation, she slid on a medium wash skinny jean and a gray deep v fashion vest with a skinny tie wrapped around her waist. Just as she grabbed her shoes from the closet, there was a knock on the door. "I got it," Jess yelled, she was already finished getting ready and was waiting in the kitchen.

"Hey, you girls ready?" Chloe heard Rachel ask as the door opened.

"I'm almost done!" She yelled back as she bent over to put on her simple black patent leather four inch heeled sandal with one strap across the cleavage of her toes and a buckle across her ankle. She quickly slid her black clutch under her arm as she reached for her keys and walked out of her bedroom. "Alright," She said, looking down at her phone. "I'm ready." She didn't look up until she heard her friends whistle. She looked up and smiled a little at the strange expression her friends were giving her. "What?"

"Damn, girl, you clean up nice." Rachel said as she admired her friends outfit.

"Yeah, you are hot, mama," Jess said playfully.

She rolled her eyes and put her phone in her clutch. "Oh please, let's go." She said leading the way as her friends followed her as they made cat calls at her.

The girls had been at the club for almost an hour now and Jess and Rachel were completely smashed. They were dancing outrageously and laughing at everything, still ordering drink after drink from the bar. They were all dancing together out on the dance floor when Jess had to go to the bathroom. Rach volunteered to go with her because she had to go herself, so they left, promising Chloe they wouldn't be long.

Chloe kept dancing as her friends left and was surprised to feel a hand wrap around her waist and pull her to their chest. She looked up and smiled when she saw an attractive male in front of her, as he danced with her. She relaxed and began to dance with him too, enjoying the moment. The song ended and she was getting thirsty so she smiled at the man but took his hands off her so she could leave. She took a step away but was quickly brought back to his chest as his arms found their way around her waist again. She frowned and put her hands on his shoulders to push him away. He shook his head and smirked at her. He leaned his head down and before she knew it his lips were on her neck. She cringed; she didn't know this guy and definitely didn't want his lips anywhere on her body. "Don't fight it baby, you know you want it."

"No, I definitely don't." She said as she tried again to push him away.

Randy turned away from his retreating friends and sat down at the bar, lifting his beer to his lips as he surveyed the crowd at the club. His eyes almost immediately fell on a familiar figure dancing. He would recognize that backside anywhere; that was definitely his daughter's teacher, Miss Ryan. He smiled as he took in her outfit; he loved how her jeans hugged her delectable legs and the way her vest was quite short, showing off a good portion of her midriff. It took him a couple seconds to notice but he frowned when he noticed the tension in her back. His eyes trailed from her still legs to the way she was leaning slightly away from her dance partner and her arms were moving, almost in a pushing motion at the mans shoulders. He immediately clenched his teeth and stood up. He took one last sip of his beer before placing the empty bottle on the bar and began to walk towards the teacher. As he got closer he saw the man attacking her neck with his lips and he growled low in his throat. He hated guys like this.

Chloe kept pushing at the guys shoulders, silently begging herself to find enough strength to overpower him. She jumped when she felt another arm wrap around her waist from behind and easily pull her out of her dance partner's arms, and into the chest of a very solid, muscular man. She took a couple deep breaths before looking up to see who had rescued her and her eyes widened when she saw the eyes of Mr. Orton. She blushed and looked down. How embarrassing.

"You have a little trouble understanding the word no?" Randy asked darkly to the man across from him. He pulled the trembling teacher closer to him as he took a step closer. He felt her small hands grab the forearm he had wrapped around her waist and hold on for dear life. "Cause if you do, I can teach it to you."

The guy held up his hands in defense. "I don't want any trouble man. She wanted it, she never said no."

Randy narrowed his eyes. "Did she need to? Did you not feel her trying to push you away?" He took another step closer but stepped back when she was right up against that jackass again and her hold on him tightened. "As her boyfriend, I feel I'm obligated to teach you a little lesson in dance club etiquette." Randy said cracking his neck.

"Whoa, hey, no need for that. She never mentioned a boyfriend, man."

"Not that you gave her the chance right?" He asked as he tried to calm her down by using his thumb to rub circles on the exposed skin of her hip. The man looked down in shame. "That's what I thought. Now apologize and get lost."

The man looked up at Chloe and sighed. "I'm sorry, I was a jerk." He said before looking up at Randy to see if that was enough. Randy nodded curtly and watched as he ran off, getting lost in the crowd. Chloe took a couple deep breaths and slowly released her grip on Randy's arm. She turned around slowly and looked up at him. He bent down slightly and put his hand on her face.

"You alright? He didn't hurt you did he?" He asked concerned for the young woman.

He smiled when she let a small smile stretch against her teeth. "No, I'm fine. Thank you." She said sliding her hand over his own before removing it from her skin. His touch was doing strange things for her, not to say she didn't enjoy it.

"Come on, let's go sit down." He said, putting a hand on the small of her back and leading her to two open stools at the bar. "So are you here alone? That's not very safe." He scolded her.

"No, I'm here with a couple girlfriends; they went to the bathroom." She explained. Randy nodded and she tilted her head to the side slightly. "You here alone?"

He shook his head. "I'm here with some friends too." She nodded and looked around the club before turning back to him and sighing.

"Gosh, that was so embarrassing. Mr. Orton I really-" She started but was cut off by Randy interrupting her.

"No more of that Mr. Orton shit, my name is Randy. Call me Randy." He said with a friendly smile.

"Randy," She said with a smile. "I really want to thank you. I was trying to get him to stop but he was just too strong." She tried to defend herself.

"Hey, don't beat yourself up over it. Guys like that like to know they can overpower women, they get off on it. That's why you gotta be careful with guys in the clubs. They are waiting and ready to pounce on pretty little things like yourself." He explained and she nodded, liking that he was the type of guy to help a girl in need.

"Well, still, thank you. I'll have to make it up to you sometime." She said and Randy raised his eyebrow.

"Nah, don't worry about it."

"Randy," She said putting her hand on his wrist, which was resting on the bar counter. "I owe you one."

Her eyes pleaded with him and he hated to admit it but he felt slightly weak in the knees. "Alright. But I don't even know your name Miss Ryan." He said, twisting his hand around hers so he could hold it to his lips. He dropped a feather light kiss on the back of her hand and she smiled.

"Chloe."

"Chloe? What a beautiful name."

"Thank you." She said happily. She saw something out of the corner of her eye and she turned to get a good look. She laughed when she saw Jess and Rach making their way back from the bathroom laughing loud and holding each other up. "Well, unfortunately it looks like I need to get my friends home. They've had a bit too much to drink." She stood up and about melted when Randy stood up politely too.

He laughed and released her hand. "I suppose I'll see you around school then?" He asked, almost hopefully.

She smiled and nodded. "Bye Randy."

"Bye Chloe." He said as he watched her approach her friends and drag them out of the club. He turned around and had the biggest smile that he just could not wipe off his face.
