9 Chapter
“It’s so hard to wake up in the morning, especially after something like this,” Ethan began to grumble when he woke up. And the first thing he noticed was that he was asleep in his underwear. Which meant someone had undressed him last night. But by whom? He didn’t remember that. He was thirsty, so he quickly got out of bed and made his way to the kitchen, where he got a bottle of mineral water from the fridge. Ethan took a couple of sips from it and immediately felt much better.
“What happened to me yesterday?” Ethan began to ask himself the question no one could answer. He made his way back to his room. He opened the closet, which was neatly stacked with his clothes that had been taken off of him yesterday, namely a dark blue shirt and black pants. He began to empty the pockets of his pants, but there was nothing in them but money and a couple of packets of condoms. And the condoms were all intact, which meant he definitely hadn’t had sex last night. Apparently it was Kevin, Michael, and George who had just brought him home and put him to bed. He decided to take another look at the contents of his shirt pocket on the front, and there, to his great surprise, he found a small piece of paper that, was folded in half. He became very curious as to what it said, so he unfolded it.
“Your friends, not your friends at all,” one sentence, an incomprehensible message.
“What the hell was that? – Ethan started cursing, trying to make sense of what was written, but he couldn’t remember anything. Maybe Chloe had put it in his pocket? Or that club administrator?”
“I should just call them and find out everything from last night,” Ethan thought, and started dialing the number of the most badass of his friends, George.
– Yes,” he answered in a sleepy voice.
– Hey, it’s Ethan.
“Ethan, why the hell are you calling at ten in the morning?”
“I wanted to know how I got home last night.”
” How did you get home? You really want to talk about this? Okay, I’ll tell you. You drank too much alcohol last night, and we told you to stop, but you wouldn’t listen to us. You had a couple more glasses of wine, you got really sick, so we decided to take you home.”
” Did I ruin your whole evening?” Ethan asked guiltily.
“Don’t worry, we’ve already forgiven you,” George tricked him.
“Thank you, I’m so ashamed of my behavior.”
“Considering the fact that you almost got into a fight with the guard.”
“I don’t remember anything,” Ethan answered.
” I’m not surprised at all. Okay, forget it. You do remember that we’re meeting again tonight at the Arizona, right?”
“At last night’s restaurant?” Ethan asked.
“Yes, that’s right. Also, tonight we’re going to try to seduce our little Chloe.”
“I remember, I’ll be there at 7 p. m,” Ethan replied and turned off the phone.
He remembered well that yesterday they had met the new waitress, Chloe, because he had kissed her. She looked older, but in fact he felt that she was just a child, because she responded so skillfully to his kiss.
“Suddenly, Ethan’s phone rang.”
“Hey, Ethan. Are you awake?” It was Sam.
“No, I’m awake, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, don’t ask. Have you changed your mind about investing in my dancers yet?”
“No, so what’s your problem? You’re in trouble.”
“Yeah. They won’t give me the money to enter the competition.”
“How much money do you need? – Ethan asked.”
“Fifty thousand dollars, just for one pair.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I’ll give you the money, but don’t worry about it, Sam.”
“Thank you very much, friend. You come by tonight at 3:00 to see my dancers.”
“Most of all, there’s one dancer I want to see.”
“You mean Pen again?” Sam guessed.
“Yes, again. I want to see your little star,” Ethan answered.
“You’ll see, she’ll be in class by now.”
“I’m very happy about that, well, see you then, Sam,” he said and disconnected the phone.
And why does Ethan want to see Penelope so badly? He also wants so badly to see Chloe and taste her sweet lips again. He’s confused about how he feels, but tonight, he’ll know everything, and he’ll change his mind.
