chapter 10

Roselyn Bell

Well, tonight I and Chloe were going out. I wasn't much of a drinker but still, I was going. I was getting ready. I wore a tight red dress. It ended just above my knees and not to make myself look like a slut I complimented the dress with my denim jacket. I brushed my hair and I went out. Chloe had already gone to take the car out. I locked all the doors and windows and went out.

"Heya sexy," she said while giving me a sly smile. We soon hit the road. It was just a normal Friday night everyone was going somewhere or the other.

"Okay girl we are here," Chloe said as she pulled into the driveway, "let's go and get drunk," she said. Chloe was acting really weird lately. Generally, she is the mature one always careful what she is doing but now she is all carefree and trying to do the wild thing I don't know why. We entered the club. The thick smell of alcohol hit my nostrils. The atmosphere was really wild. It was not even eight and people were already started to get drunk.

"Come Rose" Chloe shouted over the music. We made our way to the counter.

"Hey ladies what can I get for you," the bartender asked.

"I would love to have you but for now can we get 12 shots," Chloe said in a flirty way. It seemed like she was already drunk. What was wrong with her. Was she on drugs?

"Chloe are you fine," I asked her.

"What do you mean," she asked while swaying on the beats.

"You know you acting like this....."

"Oh come on Rose we are here to enjoy so let's enjoy" just then our drinks arrived. I didn't know if I would be able to drink all of that or not.

"Come on girl what are you waiting for?" With that she gulped her drink down her throat. "Yeah" she screamed over the music and one after the other she gulped all her drink. I was still looking at her in shock. She then went to the dance floor and started swaying her body not caring for anyone. I eyed the vodka glasses. There was a certain urge in me to drink them. I took one glass and without thinking I gulped them. There was a stinging sensation in my throat but it felt nice. One after the other I don't know how many drinks I had but then I started feeling dizzy.

Adriet Rashnikov

I was having a meeting with Grayson in his club. He insisted on having our due drink which I wasn't able to deny. The club was packed. The atmosphere club was already in a mood to party hard tonight. Ross and I were escorted by a couple of bodyguards to the more secluded area of the club. It was dimly lit and had a glass pane through which everything could be seen clearly in the bar.

"Adriet, Ross so glad that you people could make it," Grayson said. We took our seats as he made our drinks. We were deep in our conversation when something caught my eyes. There was a lot of crowds near the bar counter because there was some girl dancing really wild on the bar counter.

"Seems like alcohol has done its work," Grayson said to which Ross just chuckle. I still looking intensely at the dancing figure. Damn it. It was Roselyn. I hurried out of the room. Seemed like everyone was enjoying the little show that this girl had put. Obviously, everyone was enjoying it because her long milky legs were on full display. Her strappy dress wasn't helping either. I quickly pushed people out of my way and reached near her. I quickly grasped her wrist. Before she could say anything I threw her over my shoulders and made my way out of the bar.

"Hey you put me down" she was constantly kicking and punching me. I put her down in her feet. She stumbled a little but I quickly caught her. She mumbled a thank you.

"Now tell me what are you doing here and what was all with that dancing" I screamed at her. I was really angry with her. I agree she had a lot her job but how can she come here alone and then get drunk.

She looked up at me like a lost child and asked, "who are you?"

"You don't know me," I asked her as in she was a small child. She shook her head in denial.

"Fine let's get you home," I said and started dragging her with me.

"I am not going anywhere with you Mr Whosoever. No matter how or how sexy you look but I am not going anywhere with a stranger" she said and pulled her hand back.

"Fine you don't know me but I know you. Let's go" I said and tried reaching for her hand.

"You know me," she asked again.

"Yes," I replied.

"What's my name then," she asked.

"Roselyn Bell" I sighed. She gasped, "you do know me" she looked kind of cute with her eyes wide and mouth open.

"Right let's go," I said.

"But my friend Chloe she is inside and she is also quite drunk" her speech was not proper. It seemed like a child was speaking.

"Don't worry she's been taken care of" this time before she could say anything I pushed her inside the car and told the driver to go to my apartment. I don't know why but I didn't want to leave her alone tonight. I know there are people who are constantly keeping an eye on me and because of me, Roselyn will also be in danger. But I didn't really care about it today. I can't leave her in this condition. Although she is nothing to me I still care for her.

We reached the hotel, my apartment. I turned and see that Roselyn was sleeping peacefully over my shoulder. No wonder the ride here was so quite. I gathered her in my arms trying to be very gentle and not to wake her up. I made my way inside the elevator. Her hair was all over me her dress was in a complete mess. But still, she looked the same, all beautiful and peaceful. I reached my apartment and took her to the guest room. I called room service and asked the lady to change Roselyn's dress. I would have changed her myself but it wasn't any other girl, it was Roselyn. It was almost midnight when I heard some noises coming from the kitchen. I knew who exactly was there. I went out of my room and saw Roselyn she was sitting on the kitchen aisle with her feet dangling and had a water bottle in her hand. She was wearing my shirt which was quite large for her. The sleeves were rolled up and the hem of the shirt reached her mid-thighs.

"Sorry if I woke you up," she said in a slurping tone. She was definitely drunk.

"Roselyn I guess you should go back to bed," I said while trying not to look at her long dangling legs. She didn't reply. I was losing my patience.

"Roslyn" she flinched.

"What why are you screaming you, mad man," she said while glaring at me.

"You probably aren't realising what you are saying" I chuckled.

"Oh please," she stood on her feet and lost her balance and fell flat on her face. I quickly hurried.

"I told you," I said while picking her up with myself. She had a little scratch on her knee but besides that she was fine. "Now before you do anything more stupid let's get you to bed," I said.

"Who are you," she asked while looking up at me.

"I am Adriet" I replied.

"No who are you to me," she asked. I didn't reply to that because honestly, I didn't know the answer to that. I then tucked her into her bed.

Roselyn Bell

I woke up with a piercing pain in my head. It was unbearable. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating.

"Chloe can I get a glass water to please" god this sunlight it wasn't letting me open my eyes. "Chlo-" I wasn't on my room. No way in the hell my room can be so spacious. It seemed like a hotel room. I quickly checked my clothes. No no no this can't be happening. I wasn't in my usual clothes. I was wearing a man's shirt. The smell of the shirt was way too familiar. Just then the memories of last night came rushing, me getting drunk and all that dancing on the counter and Adriet. No way. It was seven in the morning.

I quickly spotted my last nightclothes. I found a spare toothbrush and just took a shower real quick just to get rid of the alcohol smell. I quickly wore my clothes from last night and went out. I needed to reach the airport. I had decided that I would just sneak out I didn't want to face Adriet or anyone right now. I looked around the place there was no one. Clear track. I had my heels in my hand my hair was wet and my jacket was dangling in my hand. Overall conclusion I was looking shitty.

The track was clear I quickly made a dash for the front door. I quickly opened it but I met with a wall. Argh, Adriet.

"Where are you going," he asked while raising his eyebrow. He wasn't in his usual clothes. He was wearing a grey jacket and black track pants.

"Home..... I suppose?" I wanted to state it but it came out as a question. Without saying anything he pushed me inside the apartment and closed the door behind him.

"Adriet I need to go" I whispered. I was able to feel the closeness of our bodies. I wasn't feeling comfortable. As if sensing my state he moved away.

"What's the hurry" he went near the kitchen plank and poured himself a glass of water. "Let's talk about the little stunt you pulled last night," he said and gulped the water down. I hope I didn't do anything weird. I wasn't able to remember anything clearly.

"Umm..... did I do something weird" my voice was trembling. My heels and jacket were still in my hand.

"Weird" he scoffed. "You did everything weird" he yelled at me. "Do you know how dangerous it's for you to roam like this in....... these clothes. Anything could have happened to you, you could have been kidnapped someone could have taken advantage of you. Be grateful that it was me who got you here and not some other person" his eyes were burning with rage. I was realising what could have happened to me. But he had no right to scream at me like that. Who does he think he is. It's because of him I am jobless. My inner feminist was screaming at me to do something.

"Why are you overreacting so much. It isn't like you care or anything and anyway it's because of you I had gone to that club. It's because of you I am jobless today. It's all because of you. And yes I am grateful that you got me last night so thank you so much for that" I screamed at him. I turned around but then I remembered something, "and yes there is nothing wrong with my dress" and then I went out only after banging the door real loud.

"Where do you think you are going now" he shouted across the corridor. I didn't bother to reply. I quickly reached the ground floor. I headed for the main exit.

"Sorry ma'am you can't leave just yet," one of the guards said. I knew it was Adriet behind it. I am going to kill him. I didn't listen to him and just went out. It was raining. He was calling for me but I quickly got into the cab and went away.

Moma I am coming.
