Chapter 6

I blushed even more so I simply nodded my confirmation that was on everybody’s minds. I let out a surprised squeak when Miriam gave me a big bear hug. Which was too tight may I add. I needed air so I shoved her off me. Jaysus! The lads were a lot nicer though thank god. Kian said I looked a lot better than before which was very cheeky of him. I just simply stuck my tongue out at him making him laugh. It’s in good fun so I knew he wasn’t really serious. Lou was clutching to Mark, so I knew that she must have found her “victim”.

Shane kissed me on the cheek saying that I looked beautiful causing me to blush more. Hell, I’m acting so GIRLY!! Ugh and I’m meant to be a tomboy. Blah! Anyways, Annett was in Bryan’s arms and Sylvana was in Nix’s. I found out the lad’s nicknames – go me! Well, it should be interesting to see what happens tonight. We all went into the limo, which was very cramped! Us girls had to sit on the lads laps! Which was embarrassing for me. Except for me since I sat in the front with the chauffeur. He seemed nice enough to me.

Soon, we arrived at the club, which was called the Metro. My god, was it pumping or what! I could feel the music already as it vibrated through my body. I grinned, bouncing on my feet, jumping on Ashley’s back soon as she climbed out of the limo. We were laughing, just mucking about. I soon got off and we all lined up. I was chatting away with Ashley and Miriam, I was starting to get chilly though. Freaking wind was going up me skirt! I shivered as goosebumps appeared on my arms. When the hell were we gonna get in?

Suddenly I felt a jacket being draped over me and I looked up to see Mark smiling at me. I started to protest, afraid that he would get cold then I would feel guilty. But he placed his finger on my lips silencing me – his eyes told me that he wanted me to have his jacket. I sent him a smile saying my thanks as I snuggled inside the jacket. I could smell his aftershave – it was musty but kinda sweet but oh so him. Ashley signed to me that I was lucky to have him. I signed back telling her that he wasn’t interested in me. He wasn’t – was he? I’m so confused.

We finally got into the club – about freaking time too! Ashley and Miriam grabbed my hands and started hauling me to the bar. Which wasn’t easy not when the club was full of people. And my god the heat in this place! I slid off Mark’s and my jackets and held it tightly so I didn’t lose them I felt much better now I felt a lot cooler. We managed to get some drinks for the lads which was Guinness’s. For us girls, some of us liked wine and all that. But I don’t like that kind of stuff to be honest so I stuck with a Blue WKD. It tastes a lot like raspberry, which had a little bit of vodka in it. But you couldn’t taste the vodka anyway it was more raspberry-ish that you could taste. And it’s blue obviously. We saw Annett waving to us like a madwoman so it wasn’t hard to find the group. They were in the furthest corner in a table. Figures. We squeezed past the crowd and finally managed to arrive at the table. I helped Ashley with the tray and put it onto the table.

My hair fell forward forming a curtain over my face so I tucked my hair behind my ears as I handed Mark’s jacket back. He sent me a smile but he refused it saying that I could keep it just in case I get cold again. God, he wasn’t making my feelings easy at all. It is so bad to think that Lou wasn’t right for him at all? I can’t tell him how I feel anyway. I feel so embarrassed if I revealed how I felt only to get shot down. That would make Lou’s day. I decided to dance to get my mind off Lou sitting on Mark’s lap. But I couldn’t see Ashley or Miriam around. Shane, however smiled at me and poked me in my side asking if I wanted to dance with a crap dancer. I laughed and nodded.

“You’re not a crap dancer!”

I yelled at him over the music so he could hear me. He laughed and took me onto the dancefloor. Scandalous by Misteeq came on and I grinned at him. This dance I could really dance. I linked my hands over his neck and I danced real close to his body. He placed his hands on my hips as I grinded moving my body to the beat. Damn he was meeting me at every move! Whoo, the boy could dance. I laughed, we were both flushed since it was hot and the heat was getting to us. Shane was definitely not a shy guy at all. He suddenly dipped me backwards holding my back so I didn’t fall onto the ground.

My head was nearly touching the ground, my hair was on it. I saw Mark staring at me with this look on his face. I don’t know what it was. He looked mad like I did something wrong. His beautiful bright blue eyes darkened. Was he jealous? I got swooped back up, causing me go dizzy for a second. I saw Shane looking over at Mark and he laughed under his breath but I knew because I felt his laughter vibrate throughout his body. He pulled me closer and leaned in like he was going to kiss me but really he was whispering in my left ear.

“Looks like Marky’s jealous of us.”

“I can’t.”

I ran back into the club leaving Mark outside perplexed to why I ran away from him. I made my way into the Girl’s bathroom and stared at my flushed face. I saw how my lips were swollen by the passionate kiss I just received from Mark. What were those feelings I felt inside of me?
