Chapter 105 The Call
After getting what I needed, I went towards the stairs, when I was walking down I saw the girls and the boys chatting with each other.
Suddenly my heart started accelerating faster than the normal beating when my eyes caught the ever handsome Xenon and he became more handsome with the outfit he chooses to wear today.
He wears a blue shirt and black leather jacket with black boots.
I took a deep breath.
He turned his body to face me the moment he sensed my presence. I sensed him frozen from his spot and his mouth came partly agape.
"Awesome..." I heard Coby murmured.
When I stepped down on the last stairs I faced the stunned Xenon. "Shall we go?" I asked.
He shook his head waking himself from spacing out. "Don't you have any other dress?" He suddenly asked.
My eyebrow furrowed.
"Hey! She looks amazing in that dress!" Drena yelled upset.
"Exactly! I don't want some other men watching what's mine!" He growled.
I rolled my eyes. "You said we're late, let's go," I stated.
Everyone grinned except Xenon who looked upset and me who doesn't care.
Xenon's POV
"Why don't you answer it?" I asked. Her phone keeps on ringing but she did not even give a glance at her phone.
"It's nothing important," Claire answered.
The van stopped in front of a bar with letters in the top front having different colors of lights emphasizing the name 'ASHTON BAR'.
I got out first and offered my hand to her. She took it and slowly getting out of the van.
Claire is absolutely breathtaking tonight and it's so damn hard to control myself. I wanted to take her from the moment I saw her earlier and forget the mission but I know my limitations, I know my place.
And I respect my love for her.
I'm already contented for just having her by my side.
I squeeze her hand when she completely got out which made her looked at me. I smiled, I will never get tired of looking at this gorgeous girl.
And there, I saw the smile from her lips that flutters me but suddenly her phone rings once again. She took it and looked at the caller ID.
"I think it's important, you have to answer it," I stated.
She looked at me once again but her reaction suddenly changes to something I can't decipher, it was plain but with... a glimpse of coldness. I can sense it.
"Okay, you go first. I'll catch up." She said.
"No. We'll go together." I insisted.
Bastards are roaming around and I can't leave her alone in this place.
She nodded and went on a distance to answer her phone.
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked.
"Nothing. You go first, we'll catch up later." I said.
"Okay." Lucas nodded and walked towards the entrance with Stella on his side.
"By the way Xen, the Blue Fire Gang were already inside. They reserved a VIP lounge for us." Adrian stated and I nodded.
And he walked towards the entrance with Drena.
"See you later Xen!" Coby yelled following behind Adrian and Drena, with his arm sling around Cassy's shoulder.
"Tch. They completely changed." I murmured shaking my head while smiling.
A better change...
I walked towards Claire but when I got near,
"I know."
I was frozen on my spot, and I can feel the chills that flow through my bones. Her voice... it's something I just heard for the first time... it's too... cold.
"Got it." Too dark... It seems... lifeless.
Every time I see her lifeless eyes... and hear her voice... it brings me back to the time... seven years ago.
No! I shook my head once again and watched her intently. Suddenly, my forehead creased in curiosity from the shining things she keeps on playing with her free hand... it looks like... marbles.
She ended the call and keep the marbles inside the pocket of her leather jacket and then she turned to the side, facing me.
"Who was it?" I asked curiosity filled me.
"Just the... biological father. Let's go?" She said and started walking leaving me glued to my spot.
'I was Six when my parents gave me to my Uncle... and I only have Sundays to see my mom.' She didn't mention her dad... and from the look of it, she never had a good relationship with her biological father.
I was out of thought and walk with her, holding her hand and intertwined it with mine. She looked at me and I gave her my best genuine smile.
I know she had a dark past but I don't know how dark it was... One thing is for sure... I will give her a bright future.
After this... I will make it alive and go back beside her until we get... old.

Venice Claire's POV
"Will you stop drinking!?" Coby asked Cassy frustratingly.
"Will you stop nagging!?" Cassy retaliated while grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Coby sighed in defeat "What should I do to you?" He murmured massaging his temple.
"Blake, are you sure that a good friend of yours will come?" Xenon asked getting impatient every second while glaring at the man who was passing us glancing at me, when he sees Xenon glaring at him he walked faster looking in any direction but us.
Tch. He does that to every man who tries to glance at me and he never leaves my side for even a mere second.
All of us including the Blue Fire Gang were in a VIP lounge and everything is visible here as we are also visible to anyone who tries to look in our direction and, there's nothing that separates us from the dance floor. Our seats are also huge I can tell that it was made for only VIPs.
I took my phone and texted Zoey to get me the benzodiazepines, it is a hypnotic substance that can make a person fall into a deep sleep. No one knows about the secret hiding place of my experiments including my deadly weapons. If someone will ever know, still no one can enter without my permission.
I smirked, if someone dared to trespass, that person will definitely die.
