Chapter 3
Lauren stood at the bar completely on her own and looked out towards the people dancing. Most nights out it ended like this, her standing alone at the bar, watching her two mates get up close and personal with whoever was closest on the dance floor.
She looked over towards Lucy and noticed she was making out with some brown haired guy. No surprise, Lauren thought with a giggle but of course she meant nothing by it. Lucy she would admit it herself as well, she had no problem with the fact that she had an unsavoury reputation.
Whitney was almost as bad but she wouldn't go as far as Lucy would. She was more of a tease. Lauren couldn't blame them, they were both incredibly gorgeous! If she had their looks and self-confidence she would probably be the same (probably).
Sometimes she wished she could be like them, like with how they look and everything. Yes, they always told her she looked gorgeous, but she wasn't sure she believed them. How could she? They both look completely different to her, they were what guys call sexy but she was what they call cute and cute didn't get you anywhere. Cute was what you call a fluffy rabbit.
"You look how I feel" Said a deep voice from besides her leaning against the bar. Lauren nearly lost her breath as she turned towards the voice and saw what she thought must be a model or something. He was gorgeous, no more than gorgeous; he was stunning, sexy, and so damn attractive. She had to gulp before she spoke, to swallow the breath that seemed to be stuck in her throat.
"You err... mean… bored out of your mind, if so, you're completely right" She said turning to towards the bar smiling at him. God those eyes…she could seriously stare in them for ages. They were hypnotising. The air around her changed and all of a sudden she felt sober, it was like there was only the hint of alcohol left and she was sure it was that, that was giving her this unusual bit of confidence.
Joey smirked; this girl was even more attractive up close. The way she scrunched her nose whilst she took a gulp of whatever she was drinking made her look even hotter. It was good to see her not completely flummoxed by him- little did he know she was exactly that.
"So what's a girl like you doing standing here in a bar all on her own?" Joey asked edging closer to her, gently brushing his arm (accidently) against her bare one.
Lauren had to stop herself from choking on her drink, he was way too close for her liking, sure he was hot but it didn't mean she would just do…whatever he was thinking. Her morals were slowly falling though, with every second he remained next to her.
"Excuse me?" Lauren said almost in a whisper opening her mouth wide with shock "A girl like me? What the hell is that meant to mean?" She glared.
Joey had to stop the laughter which was threatening to erupt from him. He put his hands up in declaration and ordered a drink from the barman. "Would you like a drink?" he offered
"What?" she said out loud, meaning it to just be to herself, now she looked like a babbling fool who was beginning to blush.
"I asked you if you wanted a drink?"
Okay so maybe this guy was the hottest creature she had ever landed eyes on, but she thought he must be pretty dense too, because her signals seemed to be pretty clear to her. She wasn't interested, or at least she didn't think she was. It wasn't at all like her to be attracted to a guy this quickly.
"Look" She started, but Joey smirked and ordered her a drink anyways. When the barman handed her the glass she just smiled and quietly said thanks. She could feel his eyes watching her, it was making her blush, she was more than thankful for the dimmed lighting.
"I didn't mean anything by it" He said out of the blue causing Lauren to look back up at him, confusion on her face as she sipped the drink.
"What?"
"I just meant you don't look like a girl who turns up to a club on her own with the purpose of getting laid or anything. What I should have said is who are you here with ? Friends or a boyfriend? I didn't mean to give you the impression that I was coming onto you or anything" Joey said softly, making sure he put the bit about her having a boyfriend in there.
"Oh" Was all Laurens reply was. Not knowing if she should feel offended by what he said or flattered. A minute went past and neither one said anything to each other, they both just sipped their drinks out of there glasses.
"So are you going to answer the question?" he said a slight smile on her face.
"Oh" Lauren replied again, startled by his voice, she was in such a trance because she was staring at Luke dancing, who at that moment just caught her looking and was on his way over to her. Oh god.
"Shit" she said startling him.
"excuse me?"
"I came here with my friends, but right now my ex is on his way over so like …act like we are in a deep conversation or something" she said desperately whilst turning to face directly him, she then burst out laughing. Joey had to join in with her too, the way she was so obviously fake laughing was funny in its self. He glanced to the side and noticed a brunette coming directly towards them, with each step he took he could hear Laurens laugh becoming more and more desperate.
"What's your name?" He whispered before Luke got to them.
"Lauren why?" she said a fake smile plastered on her face
"Well I'm Joey and you'll see"
Lauren didn't really have time to think about what he said, as soon as the words left his mouth, a more familiar voice was heard. "Lauren? Is that you?" She rolled her eyes… who else did he think it was.
"Oh, hi Luke" She said as if she wasn't bothered he was standing there, she then looked back at Joey and said "So what were you saying?" Joey could tell instantly by the look in her eyes that she was uncomfortable with this Luke dude standing there…he must of hurt her pretty bad, she looked like she was about to cry.
"You look so good Lo" He smirked as he looked her up and down.
"Ye she does, doesn't she?" Joey's arm suddenly slipped around her waist "it's because she's with me now, someone who actually treats her with respect right baby?" Joey said, but she was staring into his eyes. "Lauren?" He then wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. He could see the jealousy in Luke's eyes.
"You alright baby?" He muttered in her ear, loud enough for Luke to hear.
Lauren nodded not able to formulate any words at the moment. When Joey kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear she felt like she was frozen in place and she most definitely felt a tingle go through her spine. Then he started trailing his fingers up and down her arm…she was lost, completely and utterly lost. She didn't know what was happening, but this guy, who she had just met, was definitely doing something to her.
She started to lean into his touch which of course made a cocky smirk form on his handsome face, but oh well she didn't really care at that moment…maybe the alcohol was finally doing something to her.
"So you are?" Joey asked kind of rudely towards Luke. He already knew who he was but it was purely for his satisfaction now.
"Oh well I'm" However he was cut off by Laurens voice.
"He's no one Joey… No one at all, so if you don't mind Luke, me and my BOYFRIEND were kind of having a private moment which we needed to be alone for" Lauren replied bluntly turning in Joey's arms and facing him. "Do you wanna dance?" She whispered in his ear.
His grin just would not go away as Lauren started swaying her hips in front of him her back pressed up against his chest. She was most definitely having fun. He felt her hands move up behind her to the back of his head and rub down his neck; He then pulled her hips closer to him pressing their lower bodies dangerously close.
Lauren couldn't believe how bold she was being with this guy, she's never danced with anyone, but it was just all naturally coming to her. The fact that she was feeling something pressed into the back of her was even better. It was her turn to smirk now as she started to grind their lower bodies feeling a little more confident by the second.
"Oh god" Joey breathed, as she now turned her body so she was facing him. "God you're so sexy" He whispered in her ear which made Lauren press even closer to him if that was even possible. As the music faded out she then leant up to whisper in his ear...
"Come with me" She whispered seductively. Joey was lost for words he couldn't vocally respond so he just took her hand in his and urgently made his way through the masses of crowd. He then pulled her into an empty corner. He stopped, pressing her to the wall and leaned up against her. Neither said nor did anything, instead they just stared at each other, getting lost in each other's eyes.
"You're so beautiful" His hands then found her bare legs and started stroking his hand up and down her thighs.
Lauren couldn't take it any longer, the thing he was doing with his hands was turning her on, more than she ever thought she could be from someone she just met.
"Do I make you hot?" his sexy voice said again. She wanted to scream but couldn't muster any words, instead she just nodded closing her eyes to take a deep breathe.
That was all the encouragement Joey needed as before she had chance to open up her eyes again his lips were on hers immediately in a fiery kiss.
Technically it is now tomorrow so there it is ! what do you think's going to happen in the morning ?
