6: Drunk And Dumb

“Sapphire! You my girl get here at the Russo Club at once! I need to know what the heck you are up to! You have 10 minutes! Get here!” It was the dramatic side of Selena which over reacted. I rolled my eyes and cut the call.

Though I really don’t want to go to Club I want to let the havoc going in my mind out and no one is out to listen except Selena and Emerald. They are my high school girlfriends. We have been together since primary and now are together in high school, we are inseparable and we are proud of it.

I took a quick shower and took out a short sexy blue dress to put on. Wearing a light make up and my glistening diamond studs, I walked out out my room with heels in my hand. No way am I going to let myself interact with my brother and then get another backslash.

I had enough of him blaming me. I know I did wrong by escaping but there was no need to hurt my feelings so much and blaming everything on me.

I know I should have done something to get to the best solution but does this situation even has a solution?!

Fuck marriage!

I don’t want to get married to someone I don’t love no matter how sexy and good looking he is.

“Where to ma’am?” Federico, our house driver asked as he saw me passing the threshold of the main entrance.

His eyes raked on my clothes and the old man had a slight disapproval in his eyes. I bet he will complain my dad soon about my attire. Anyways who cares!

“Russo Club, uncle Federico.” I told him as I sat in the car.

The way to the club was hectic. My brain wouldn’t stop thinking about how my life is taking a 360 degree turn.

It’s so dramatic!

A guy out of blue came demanding for the money which my father owe his late father and now the debt is so huge that we are on brink of bankruptcy and we have no escape out except for accepting his absurd conditions!

Okay, he can have the 40 % of company shares and that’s enough but marriage?!

What the hell is up with with him. He fucking didn’t even know my appearance. He probably isn’t in love with me then what in hell is his motive?!

The car stopped and aI was quick to get off. I showed my card and I went in. My father had bought the membership of this Russo Club years ago. It’s the most expensive club in town.

I walked in and looked for Selena at our usual spot near the bar and I was quick to find her near the bar talking with a boy smiling and flirting.

Just as she saw me she shooed the boy away who dejectedly walked away. She ran to me and hugged me tight.

“What the hell girl?! You need to tell me everything now!” She shouted loud in my ear. Typical Selena!

“Gosh crazy! Get away! Let me sit and then then I will narrate my doom to you.” I rolled my eyes as I made my way to the bar to take my seat.

“3 shots of tequila for me.” I told the cute waiter who was quick to act on my command.

“So?” Selena ask raising an eyebrow.

“Girls!!” Before I could speak, Emerald Jason voice rang in air.

She walked our way chirpily and we smiled seeing our childhood friends. We hugged each other and she raised an eyebrow my way.

“Where had you been? We called million time!” She asked in high pitch.

Before I could speak a word Selena spoke, “Babez our girl is in serious trouble. A guy out of blue came crashing our our girl world! Uncle Mason is indebted to him and he is demanding marriage. That is all I got to know. For knowing rest of the details I called her here to tell.”

“What?! What the hell is going on Saph? Marriage?! Is that some joke?” Emerald face contoured to confusion as she looked at me with widened eyes.

I sighed dramatically before gulping down the whole shot of tequila.

“Slow down girl….”

“I feel like I am standing on the verge of doom and their is no fucking escape!” I cried out as I put the glass down. I closed my eyes as tears filled in again.

“Hey…Saph…shh…what’s the matter girl…” Selena cooed as she side hugged me.

“I…I don’t want to get married….not to someone I don’t love…I…I am helpless and so pathetic….Dad got heart attack..” they gasped as they heard it.

“I caused it….I am so selfish…he just asked me to help him by getting married to James Russo…but I..I ran away…today I returned and got to know the heart attack…. I am so selfish….Leo said I don’t understand the word family…he is right…ugh! I don’t know how to solve this matter…”

I let out a sob and Selena was quick to engulf me in a tight hug.

“So who is this guy again?” Emerald asked as she opened g****e on her mobile.

“James. James Russo….” I spit it out. I am so hating this dude.

“Oh my goods! This man is freaking hot and so damn rich!” Emerald gushed out making me roll my eyes۔.

“Show! Show!” Selena left me and grabbed the cell phone from Emerald’s hand.

“Oh my! He is so freaking eye candy. Hey saph! Common aside from how the circumstances are you can give it a shot? See he is a hottie! Every girl’s dream. Maybe you will both fall in love with each other after marriage.” Emerald said seriously.

I let out a ridiculed sound before laughing like a maniac.

“So you say I marry him and whole problem will be solved?!” I felt like crying.

“Hey…girl maybe it won’t be that bad at least not as bad as seeing your family and you on road or worse in prison! Think about it…” Selena said and Emerald also nodded.

“I…I always wanted marry out of love…” I confessed and they sighed.

“Who said this has to be your last marriage? Divorce is always an option if things didn’t work out. Just try to think more rationally sapphire right now your family needs you and this debt…it must be too huge that your billionaire daddy isn’t even able to pay back else you know we would have asked our fathers to help your father out of this….” Emerald said and I was left to ponder on her words.

  

Maybe they are saying correct….maybe I should….marry him…and get divorced…after proving him how wrong he was when he decided yo marry me and ruin my peaceful life.

“Girls! Let’s get drunk and then break the dance floor.” I told them with sheer determination and they nodded smiling before side hugging me.

After 8 shots of tequila I was so drunk.

I, Selena and Emerald moved on the beats of music’s laughing like crazy on each other funny dance steps.

Some people looked at us as if we are weirdos. Not that we are not weird.

Hey! But weirdos have more fun!

  Selena and I continued to dance till a hand on my ass forced me to turn. I looked in a pair of warm honey hazel eyes to pink lips.

  Who is this handsome?!

  "Hey, I am Jackson and you are?" The hot stranger asked as he pulled me closer by my waist. He smells of woods and musk with a hint of wine. He is so tall and I had to jerk my head to look at him.

  "Sapphire.” I said smiling back.

  "Sapphire you are gorgeous." He said leaning forward and I blushed.

  "Thanks." I continued to move with the beat of the rhythm.

  I smiled but as his hands roamed on my waist, I felt really uncomfortable. So I pushed him away and walked off of dance floor.

  No messing with me boy! No matter how sexy you are!

  I felt eyes on me. I looked around but saw no one. I was to drunk for my own good. I felt the need to use Lou and I searched for Selena or emerald to take along but found known of them. Annoyed I made my way the stairs.

  I walked inside the hall and looked around for the washroom on second floor when suddenly someone pulled me forcefully in a dark room.

  Horrified, I struggled to get free but was stopped as the lights switch on. I looked at the person who pulled me in only to gasp out loud.

  The person so looked like the man who had haunted my night since past week!

James Russo stood in front of me smirking at me in pervert manner. His eyes roamed from my face to bottom and then repeat.....

  If it was my lover the situation would have been romantic.

  But, it's James Russo.

  The man who had the power to ruin my peaceful life.

  So it's enough to scare me to my wits.

  "W-What are you doing?" Instead of answering me, he closed the distance between us and placed his hand on the wall behind me, caging me between him and the wall.

He looked so sexy as he moved his face closer to mine and looked straight in my eyes.

  My heartbeat raised and those silly butterflies for the first time in life started to do Zumba dance in my stomach.

  "You are beautiful..." he said in his silky smooth voice as he looked at each and every feature of my face and my heart was thumping so loud at how he was looking at me.

  His one hand cupped my cheek and with his other hand, he pulled me by my waist to him....

I was so drunk that I was not able to act. I wanted to push him away but I felt as if I am spell bounded.

  "Tonight you look so irresistible...." his nose touched mine and I closed my eyes unknowingly.

It felt like a dream..,it is even happening?

  A gasp left my mouth. I inhaled his smell which was like rain, grass and wood. Purely masculine!

  Then slowly his lips connected with mine and the sensual kiss soon turned into a rough make-out session. I moved my mouth with his slowly trying to cope up with him. He pinched my mouth making me gasp and next second his tongue was in my mouth devouring it to his fill. His tongue clashed with mine for dominance and I submitted. When finally we were out of breath, he removed his mouth.

  I gasped for air and looked at him shyly.

  "Sapphire  ...." he said smoothly maintaining stern eye contact.

  "You are not to talk to any boy or let any boy touch you." He said dominantly, staring deeply in my eyes.

  What?

  "Who, when, why and how I talk to someone is none of your business, Okay?" I was angry at his outrageous controlling manner.

  "Not Okay! If I see you with any boy, I will punish you!" He said in a low threatening voice.

  But why did it sound so seductive?!

  "And who are you?" I asked arrogantly with a left eyebrow raised.

  "You are not to talk to any boy, kitten. The outcome will be really bad for him."

  He said hissing and then added, "You are my Maid and I don't share."

  Maid....?

  His word broke my naive heart. I pushed him but he didn't move an inch.

  I gave him my first kiss like a fool and he called me his maid!

  I won't cry! Not in front of him!

  "Fuck you!" I screamed and my eyes widened at the curse. I cursed for the first time and I feel bad.

  "You wish," he smirked.

  "You are not a bad man, you are a bad person," I said venomously.

  "I am the worst, baby girl."

  He said and pressed his lips again to mine. This time, just a peck.

  "Remember no boys, Sapphire  ." With a glance at my lips and lingering look at my chest, he walked out.

  I kept staring at the closed door for minutes...,
