Ch 18
Niall’s POV
I held her has hand as we walked around trying to find the club. We saw a huge group of teenagers going down a hall so we followed. Soon enough we started to hear music playing pretty loud and then saw lights flashing from inside a room.
“That must be it.” Hannah looked at me. We kept walking with intertwined hands and then started to see a line form at the door.
“There’s no damn way we’re waiting here.” I said and started to walk to the front.
“Back of the line.” The man checking ID said.
I chuckled and then pulled out my ID and Hannah quickly pulled hers out, we flashed them at him and he surprisingly just nodded and opened the door. As we walked in the people behind us started talking.
“That’s the girl he’s with?” “Who’s that?” “Damn it, she’s pretty.”
I smiled and kept her hand in mine as we walked into the club. There were couches everywhere and black light lamps scattered around. There was a lit up dance floor that could barely be seen because of all of the feet moving and dancing. We walked around together, I noticed people staring. The girls didn’t bother me much. It was the guys I was worried about. A lot of the people here I had never seen before and Hannah must not have either, but I saw her meet another guy’s glance. I pulled her closer to me and put my hand around her waist. She’s mine. I wanted to say so badly, but I didn’t want to embarrass her or myself.
She must’ve known why I did that and I felt her back shaking with laughter.
“It’s okay, babe. I’m not going anywhere.” She said over the music, smiled at me and then kissed my cheek.
I saw people watching us, watching me, and watching her alone.
“Let’s go get a drink.” She spoke and guided me to the bar.
There were already cups filled up with who knows what. Dumbest idea ever.
We poured new drinks and then headed out, I definitely tasted alcohol. I watched her drink her drink to see if she would notice.
“Whoa.” She made a face at the drink.
“I know.” I tried to grab it from her but she held it tight.
“No, I want it.”
“Haha, okay. But I’m not into babysitting.” I teased and then smiled at her. She smiled too and kept drinking, I decided I wouldn’t tonight. I didn’t want anything happening to her.
Hannah’s POV
Might as well drink tonight. It wasn’t a usual thing but what the hell? I’m on a boat! I downed the first drink and then went back for another. Niall looked at me and shook his head but didn’t say anything. We sat down while I drank and looked out at everyone dancing. More like swaying though. None of them knew how to actually dance. The guys had their hands on the girl’s waists and they just swayed left to right.
“Baby, you want to go dance?” I smiled, I think I was buzzed by then.
“I can’t.” he said, and kissed my cheek.
“No one here can. I’ll teach you.” I laughed and grabbed his hand. He got up and sighed.
Cup still in my hand I dragged him on the dance floor and put his back to the wall. I danced on him and I could swear everyone was watching us. I wasn’t swaying like the other girls. Shit, I’m from Miami!
The song changed to Don’t Stop the Party by Pitbull and everyone started to go crazy. I chugged my drink and then turned to Niall. I wasn’t piss drunk but I was getting there.
“I have to go to the bathroom.” I said in his ear.
“Let’s go.” He grabbed my hand and led me off the floor. Good thing there was a bathroom in the club because I don’t think I would have made it. There was a common entrance and then the bathrooms split into two rooms. The guys room and the girls.
“I’ll be right back.” I said.
“Do you need any help?” he asked, looking a bit concerned.
“No, baby. I’m fine.” I wobbled into the bathroom. So glad I didn’t wear heels.
There were AT LEAST twenty girls in the itty bitty bathroom, fixing their hair and their makeup.
I recognized the red head girl, she was with Alexis and Renee. Great. I saw Angela in the corner. She looked nice.
I walked in and they all looked at me. I went into the stall to pee, as I came out I heard whispering.
I went to wash my hands.
“Do you need any help?” the red head girl spoke to me.
“Nope. I’m perfectly fine.” I finished washing my hands and looked in the mirror. I still looked cute, it was all good.
“Are you sure? You look pretty wasted.”
“Nah, I’m good.”
I dried my hands and they all watched me, irritated and jealous.
“So, are you and Niall a thing?” Alexis asked, that was the real reason they were talking to me.
“We might be,” I sighed and then headed for the door.
“Hmm. He won’t claim you though will he?” Renee said, and looked at me.
That pissed me off.
