Louisa's POV
Dressed up in a shredded white T-shirt (I didn't even want to know how it had been shredded) and blue-ripped jeans, his sex appeal was irresistible, like James Dean walking out of a movie poster and starting ripping off his shirt and jeans in front of you.
His sidekick, Leo Kofron, who was also busy sucking a Russian stripper's tits, noticed my existence and waved at me.
"Waiter! Come clean the shit on the table because someone is going on a Russian roulette of shame!" He exclaimed while biting the girl's nipples with his teeth.
The good news was Leo didn't recognize me.
The bad news was Lucas might recognize me.
I mean, seriously?! Why did this kind of shit happen to me?!
And what the fuck is the Russian roulette of shame?!
I didn't even want to know.
"What are you doing? The customer is calling you!" Natasha wasn't very happy about me standing there like an idiot.
I lowered my head and clenched my jaw, walking toward their booth with a basket.
The light in the club dimmed with fusion house music playing in the background.
Great. I snickered. Hopefully, Lucas, who was busy sucking tits, wouldn't recognize me when I approached.
I would just go there, clean whatever shit there was from the table, and swiftly run away from him, just like what I had done at school earlier today. Twice.
I tip-toed along the wall toward the table, making sure that my figure was completely immersed in the darkness.
Then, I started to snatch things from the table like a rat. Empty beer bottles, cans, cigarette butts, used condoms, and other very sticky and unspeakable items from the table. I quickly took all of them among women's naked limbs, torsos, and crotches, one at a time.
This strategy seemed totally worked out. Neither Lucas nor Leo noticed my existence.
Everything was just fine until Leo took a mic and jumped on the table that I had cleaned up like a pro.
With his pants hanging halfway on his knees, Leo claimed in a hoarse voice, "Ladies and gentlemen in the club, today is your lucky day! Tomorrow is my best friend Luke's 20th birthday. Tonight, every drink and lap dance will be on Young Master Luke's tab! Human beings, let the feast begin!"
The whole club was set on fire by Leo's announcement. People roared in cheers, laughter, exclaims, and claps. The music started to become explosive and...
All lights in the club ignited at the same time.
Just when I started to panic and tried to sneak away, my arm was grabbed.
"Hey." I heard Lucas' deep voice among the chaos in the club.
Oh, shit! Please, don't let him recognize me! Abrakadabra Fucking Evanesco Avada Kedavra!
Before I could turn my head back, Lucas had already wrapped his arms around my hips and pulled me against him.
I was positive that he was stroking his face against my butt.
"What are you doing?! Let go of me!" I screamed, struggling to get away.
But I failed.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lucas slurred next to my ear. His breath smelt like cigarette and gin.
He didn't come across as a gin guy to me, because I thought gin was used for the eradication of seemingly incurable sadness.
You need to, first of all, have a heart, to feel seemingly incurable sadness about things.
And Lucas didn't seem to have a heart.
As I was struggling in vain, Lucas' lips gently swiped the tip of my ear.
It was the most sensitive part of my body and it was really a cheap shot! But I hated to admit that it was the right shot. My whole body was melting like ice in his arms.
My struggle seemed to make him excited. He flipped my body to force me to look at him.
His grip was firm, like an inevitable force of nature.
"You..." Lucas looked at me anxiously with dark blue eyes. I knew he was trying to look for words in his head, but he was just too drunk to put words together.
Then, he pulled my body toward him, as if he was trying to take a closer look at me.
We were so damn close and his look was dark and dangerous.
I stared at him in disbelief. Holy shit. It was bad, really bad.
He gazed down at me. His look was so intense and grave.
At that moment, my heart skipped a bit.
It felt like the world stopped turning all of a sudden.
The loud music. The chaotic crowd. The clanking sound of beer bottles and wine glasses.
All of them. Temporarily gone.
He was holding me and I had all of his attention. I was truly seen, for the first time in my life, by such a grand, marvelous, but devilish person.
His expression was completely unreadable. His eyes are scorching dark and intense.
My mouth dropped open slightly but recovered immediately.
I wanted to gasp, but there was no air getting into my mouth.
Is he going to... kiss me?! I licked my chapped lips and thought to myself.
I became numb. I knew I should say something to break this silence between us. But I just couldn't articulate my feelings about all this, because I was overwhelmed.
It took me a second before I realized that I was panting heavily in front of him.
But at exactly the same moment, the nasty scene in the storage room appeared in my mind.
The girl's submissive voice. Her aberrant behavior. His perfect naked torso. His giant manhood... All of them flashed across my mind.
No, I would rather die being kissed by an asshole like him. I shook my head slightly.
Just as the world started to turn again, Lucas suddenly pointed at the bucket in my hand and murmured -
"You... You've taken my lighter..."
I was struck in the face by a souring fact -
Lucas, the motherfucker who had casually invited me to join in a three-way, the asshole who kneeled in front of me to get my name, didn't even recognize my face!
Louisa's POV"Asshole! Let go of me!" I struggled violently."Lighter..." Lucas mumbled."I didn't steal your lighter!" I raised my voice.In despair, I grabbed a bucket of ice and poured water and ice all over his head.Everyone around the table was shocked for a brief moment.Drenched in icy cold water from head to toe, Lucas seemed to regain consciousness.He stared at me while wiping the water off his face. He might be the only person that I had seen to stay so damn hot after being waterboarded.Natasha, my supervisor, rushed forward and dragged me to the side."What the fuck have you done?! Are you fucking insane?!" she barked at my face.Then, she displayed a corp smile to Lucas and said, "I sincerely apologize, Mr. Farrow. She's a new girl and she doesn't know what she's doing."Feeling indignant and ashamed, I bit my lips while rubbing my arms.Lucas grabbed me with such tremendous force that he left some red marks on my wrists and arms."What the fuck are you doing?! Come he
Louisa's POVHis eyes were burning with unfathomable emotion."What?! No! I haven't..."He didn't let me finish. He carried me on his shoulder and started to walk off."What are you doing?!" I exclaimed.I had never been carried like a sack before and it was the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened in my life.Again. Speak too soon."I need to find a place to frisk you," he announced."What?! No! Where are you going to take me?! Put me down!" I kicked my legs and waved my arms like I was swimming in the air. I must have totally looked like a fucking idiot."Stay put, little sloth, or I'll peel your clothes off and frisk you right here in front of everyone. Your choice."I panicked suddenly and stopped struggling. I knew this asshole would do exactly what he had said.In despair, I looked at Natasha, who was busy opening the door to a VIP room for Lucas.The VIP rooms were reserved specifically for A-list customers who wanted to enjoy some privacy.I couldn't even imagine wha
Louisa's POVSo. Good news and bad news.The good news was my first kiss was one heck of a kiss and the person who was kissing me remembered my name.The bad news was this jerkface seemed to be scheming something more than doing a strip search on me.I didn't care what people said, but I just wasn't prepared to lose my first kiss and virginity on the same night, because according to my mom, pre-marriage sex kills a person faster than drugs.No. No. No! This isn't happening to me. I will not be trapped like a fucking mouse. I have to calm down and I have to think of something to get out of this fucking Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. But...I racked my brains and I couldn't come up with anything that I could do.Sitting in front of me, pampered and condescending, was the dark prince or evil Lord of the night. He looked like a complete asshole with his shit-eating sadistic smirk on his face, sipping a glass of 500-dollar Moët & Chandon.I touched my lips, swollen from his kiss. All my senses we
Louisa's POVI didn't take that damn lighter, so I'm not afraid of anything. All I have to do is take off my shirt and show him that...My heart sank when my fingertips touched something hard and square in my pocket.I put my hand into the pocket and took it out.It was a fucking gold lighter with a wolf head on it!!!!What?!How did that fucking lighter get into my pocket?!"You... You must have planted it on me!" I castigated him, wide-eyed.He looked quizzical in the dim light of the room while rubbing his hands together."Haha. Gotcha!" he gloated. "Now it's time to claim my booty!"He snatched the lighter from my hand and abruptly held me up by my waist."No! Put me down!" I exclaimed.Well, he put me down.But this time on his lap.My legs were forced to spread on the sides of his body.The inner part of my thighs was placed on his groin."What are you doing?! Let me go! It must be you! You put the lighter in my pocket!" I struggled.He grabbed my arms and twisted them behind m
Louisa's POV"How was your first night shift at the 'grocery store'?" Jackie asked me as soon as I got into the car.My dad's truck was used for transporting horses, so I had to carpool with Leah and Jackie every day in their beaten-up Chevy to school."I was fired," I replied."What?!" Both Leah and Jackie asked at the same time."Lucas Farrow was at the club and that asshole accused me of stealing some fucking lighter from him. That's why they fired me."I intentionally skipped the humiliation I had been through in the VIP room.If Leah knew what had happened to me, she would have had a heart attack.Jackie, on the other hand, might have picked up a knife or a road sign to stab Lucas in his ass.Leah and Jackie looked at each other. To my surprise, neither of them said anything.After a while, Leah said, "Louisa, we'll help you to look for another part-time job."Jackie added, "Yeah, I heard Burger Barn was hiring...""Seriously?" I rubbed my eyes and asked. "Neither of you wants to
Louisa's POVAs soon as the last class was over, I packed my belongings and rushed out of the classroom.I had an interview tonight for another part-time job.The post description didn't reveal much. It was a caretaker for an empty house and I was 89% sure that house was haunted like the one in the Shining because the pay was ridiculously good.If I successfully got that job, my wage would spike.And since I was in a really grumpy mood today and my bad mood was infectious, I didn't plan to carpool with the O'Reilly sisters.Anyway, the interview place was not so far away from the school. I didn't mind walking for 40 minutes to get there.But as soon as I got out of the classroom, I saw Jackie and Leah standing outside."Aha, here we go," Jackie said with relief."Let's go now," Leah said."Wait... Aren't you supposed to be at Economics 101 right now?" I frowned."We skipped it," Jackie said. "We've been waiting here for you.""What?! You've been waiting outside my classroom for an hou
Louisa's POV"Louisa, you need to calm down. Take a deep breath. In and out," Leah said.As soon as she held my hands, I immediately started to breathe again."What did you see, Louisa?" Leah asked. Her voice was hypnotic."I... I saw... It must be a giant, wild beast! We should call animal control!" My mouth was dry."Louisa, there's no wolf on campus. If there was a giant wolf lurking around, people would have seen it!" Leah said."But I saw it... I really saw it!"Jackie handed me a bottle of water and said, "Louisa, you need to be hydrated. Close your eyes for a while. All you need is sleep.""I'm not crazy! I really saw it!" I insisted, gobbling down some water from the bottle."Louisa, you're exhausted. Close your eyes and take some rest. It's for your own benefit."Leah's voice was as soothing as a lullaby.My head started to feel heavy. The world in front of me darkened as time went by. My vision turned blurry."I... I have to..." I murmured.Leah placed my head on her lap and
Louisa's POVGold Gemdale was a high-end department store in the city center."Oh, mine. What is that?" I heard a shriek. "The miserable trio. Three banshee sisters!"Dressed up to the nines and surrounded by her minions, Jessica looked like a walking"Fuck off, Jessica. Go back to your fucking coven," Jackie hissed.The aggressive, sassy Jackie was back. Great.Jessica rolled her eyes and her nostrils flared."Did you guys smell it?" She asked the minions around her."The smell of horse shit." A girl teased me.Other girls giggled."No, it's the smell of poverty," Jessica snarled."Shut up, slut!" Jackie warned. "Beat it before I step on your stupid face."Leah pulled Jackie's arm and said, "Jackie, save it. We've got work to do. Let's just walk away."Work? I frowned. Did someone ask them to buy me stuff?Jackie gave Jessica a dark look and walked away.Jessica rolled her eyes, used a finger to poke at my chest, and said, "Go back to your pathetic stable and stop making a fool of yo
