"Whoah."
That was all I could manage to say, and even at that the music drowned out my voice so it blended in with the drums and guitar of the band on the stage.
I was currently standing in Rush, Santa Carla's best nightclub. It was like someone took the energy of the boardwalk and the best music and packed it into this room. I had never been here before, but I had been told great things about it.
"You like?" Paul asked close to my ear, I nodded because I honestly couldn't put into words how awesome it was to be here.
Paul grabbed my hand and led me through the crowds on the dancefloor up to the booths at the back where the rest of the guys were.
"Look who snuck out." Paul announced as we got over to the table, I gave a sheepish wave to the guys and to the girl who had taken up residence on Marko's lap, but she had her attention focused more on him.
"Glad you could make it, I hope your visit didn't get you into too much trouble." David said from across the table, his voice may be deep but it carried well.
"It's fine, I have to be back by midnight or my parents will freak."
David smirked, "Well we can't have that."
"So did your parents freak out a lot?" Paul asked as he gestured for me to sit down and followed suit shortly after.
I shrugged, "They were just worried when I didn't come home, so the grounding was more a punishment for worrying them. They won't be too happy if they find out I'm here, though."
"Then we'll just make sure they don't find out." He grinned.
"You know, I think you're becoming a bad influence on me." I teased.
Paul laughed, shooting a look towards David and Dwayne that said they were thinking the same thing. I glanced at both of them before going back to Paul, was I missing something?
"We're not bad influences, we just like to do what we want." Paul shrugged.
I chuckled, "Fair enough."
I couldn't help but notice the looks they'd give each other every once in a while, like silent conversations were going on between them. I hadn't noticed before, but I guess when you're with people and music blocks out their sounds you start noticing their movements.
I also couldn't help but notice how everyone else that passed by the table would almost do a double take, or any that lingered near the table would cast glanced over every now and again at the guys. Any guys that looked over would probably see four badass-looking dudes while the girls would see four hot guys.
After noticing a girl glance at Paul for what had to be the tenth time, I nudged his elbow, "I think you have an admirer."
Paul glanced around, "Girl, everyone's admiring me." He boasted.
"Of course, but the redhead over there is doing the best job." I told him, inclining my head for him to follow my gaze. When he did the girl hurriedly directed her gaze elsewhere, fixing at her hair.
"Oo, not bad." He said, nodding at her when her gaze eventually slid back.
I pushed his shoulder slightly, "Go talk to her."
He looked insulted, "And leave little Shorty all by herself?"
"I'm not by myself, I'll stay here with the guys." I said, nodding over to Dwayne and David who didn't look like they were moving any time soon.
"Fine, how do I look?" Paul asked, turning to me once he has tried his best to smooth his hair and pursed his lips.
"Insane, you're good to go." I joked, he smiled before getting up to go over to the girl.
I slouched back into the seat and watched Paul strut over to the girl, before I glanced round at the rest of the club. The dancefloor was packed, but I guessed if a good song came on i could squeeze in. That seemed to be the idea Marko and the girl he was with had as they got up and started making their way to the dancefloor.
Alright, so it's just Dwayne and David with me, that's cool. That I can handle.
I shot them both an awkward smile, realising they were probably the two most intimidating people I had ever seen. David smirked, glancing between Dwayne and I before he fluidly slipped out of the booth of somewhere else.
So now it was just Dwayne and I, great. This isn't awkward at all.
I kept my eyes down for a few seconds before I hesitantly snuck a glance from under my lashes to see him looking out at the other people, his dark eyes missing nothing.
I breathed a quiet sigh of relief that he wasn't looking expectantly for some conversation, because my mind had just went blank. He seemed intimidating to talk to when the guys were around, now I didn't even have a clue what to talk about, so I busied myself picking at the threads around the holes in my jeans.
After I decided I was maybe being a bit rude in not talking at all, I looked up only to meet his eyes. Oh God why are his eyes so amazing?
"I'm going to go get a drink." Excellent, Bryn, just excellent.
Dwayne nodded, and I hurriedly slipped out of the booth and dug in my jacket for some change as I got over to the bar.
"Coke." I told the bartender, wiping my hands on my jeans as I realised how sweaty they had gotten.
A tap on my shoulder had me look to my right to see a girl about nineteen or twenty smile politely, was I meant to recognise her?
"I'm Kelly." She said, holding her hand out.
"Bryn." I said as I shook her hand.
"Listen, I just thought since you were over here I could make sure I wouldn't be stepping on any toes. You and that guy up there…?" She said, gesturing back up to where Dwayne was still sat and where I had just come from.
"Yeah?"
"Are you two like a thing?" She asked.
I laughed lightly as the bartender sat my drink down, "Uh, no. We're not a thing."
"Oh! I just thought cause I saw you two up there alone. So is he… With anyone?" She asked.
"I don't think so, I'm not really sure."
She flipped her hair, "Well there's only one way to find out. Just wanted to make sure you two weren't together before I went in for the kill." She joked with a laugh.
I laughed politely, "Go for it."
She leant back on the bar, "I think I will, he is dangerously handsome. Wish me luck." She said before leaning off the bar and heading in his direction.
"Good luck." I said sweetly, mostly to myself seeing as she was already heading over. I took a drink before glancing over my shoulder to see the two of them sitting close together, with her twirling a strand of blonde hair around her finger as she laughed at something he said.
Maybe it's just me he doesn't talk much around.
After I finished my drink I decided to leave them to it and made my way into the middle of the dancefloor as a new song came on. If there was one thing that could take my mind of Dwayne, it would be dancing.
Eventually a while later I made my way back to the bar, thoroughly danced out. I opted for a glass of water with ice to cool myself down, I wouldn't need to look this energetic when I came home.
Home. Shit!
"What time is it?" I asked the bartender hurriedly.
"Ten minutes to midnight." He said once he glanced at his watch.
"Crap." I groaned before I looked around in a panic to try and find one of the guys, where the hell had they gone? I needed Paul or at least someone to take me home, hell, David would be a preferable option to the grounding I would get if my parents found out I had been at Rush when I was meant to be in my room.
I must have searched the club twice when someone's hand caught my arm. Please let this be one of the guys.
"Thank God!" I cried as I realised it was Dwayne, "I can't find Paul and I need to get home like, right now."
Dwayne glanced around before pulling me towards the exit, "I'll take you."
Crap, "Okay."
I basically ran over to the bikes when we got out to the carpark, "I am so dead." I whimpered as Dwayne came over.
"I'll get you home in time, but you gotta hold on tight. I'm gonna go fast." He warned as he got on and helped me on behind him. I held on as tight as I could and didn't even allow the thought of him not wearing a shirt under his jacket to bother me as he took off. Eventually the speed made me squeeze my eyes shut and bury my head in the back of his jacket, I could just about give him directions to my house as we practically flew home.
"Bryn."
"Yeah?"
"We've stopped, you can open your eyes." I could hear a faint hint of a smile in his voice as I realised the wind was no longer howling in my ears.
"Oh." I laughed with embarrassment as I glanced up to see we were in front of my house and my parents' car wasn't here, so I was safe for now from being grounded.
I climbed off the bike and staggered slightly as my feet settled on still ground, my head felt like it was spinning.
Dwayne grabbed my arms to steady me, "You okay?" He laughed as I swayed slightly.
"Yeah." I said, joining in the laughter as I looked up once I made sure I wouldn't fall over. Which was a mistake, because he is somehow even more gorgeous when he smiles like he is now.
"Thanks for leaving me home, I should get inside before my parents come home." I finally said, looking cautiously up the street they would be driving down any minute now.
Dwayne's hands left my arms and froze as one of his hands brushed a stray lock of hair behind my ear. He only did it for maybe one or two seconds but it stretched out for what seemed like ten minutes until his hands finally went back to the handlebars of his bike as he kick-started it.
I waved as he glanced back before going down the street almost as fast as he had been going when taking me home. I groaned as I realised I was definitely getting a major crush on Paul's friend. Only now was I realising my heart had been hammering.
I patted my pockets before cursing. No key, damn it.
I hurriedly clambered back up onto the porch roof and opened my window. I just barely had gotten inside and shut it when I heard a car coming down the street which I soon realised was my parent's car.
Yeesh, that was a close one.
Extra note: I forgot to mention in the last chapter the credit for Bryn's latest outfit goes to sadlyhuman1997 who kindly puts together awesome outfits for Bryn to wear on Polyvore where I can go check them out and describe them better in a chapter, so thanks for the awesome combinations that give Bryn a unique style which I love ;)
