Just a night of freedom

Devon's pov)

"Yeah I'll still get you a drink"I uttered and she grinned widely at me before gripping me tight as we forced our way through the crowds.

 "VIP?"She muttered in a questioning manner as she stared at the wall of the door we were about to enter.

"Yeah...VIP..."I repeated after her pushing the door to gain entrance.

    "Are you some sort of rich dude or your pocket is just filled for only this night?"She asked and giggled before leaving my arm as it seemed like she suddenly felt comfortable in the room. Quiet and lively...I think she likes her things that way.

"You sure you had no drink?"I asked to be sure judging from the manner she throw her words at me.

   "Why?...do I sound drunk?"She uttered shinning her white set of teeth at me.

"I looked over to the far end of the room and my eyes caught with Tyler. He was having a drink all to himself.

Soon, Tyler noticed my presence and looked up. Seeing me and her, he bursted into a loud laughter spilling some of his drinks in the process.

"Don't tell me you brought a drunkard to get drunk again" he uttered laughing hard as he stopped to catch his breathe.

I sighed and rolled my eyes at him before pulling out a chair for her to sit.

    "Is he calling me a drunkard?"She whispered to me and I nodded my head in disapproval before glaring hard at Tyler who was really trying to stop himself from bursting into another round of laughter.

"Tell me, aren't you drunk?" Tyler asked with a tip of mockery in his tone as he settled down for another glass of drink. I looked over at the girl who just stared away like she heard nothing...

I dunno but her I don't care attitude were giving me chills

    "Didn't she hear what I said?"Tyler whispered to me and I gave him a scorn look which made him retreated as he sat back on his chair watching her space out.

    "Hey"I called tapping her softly on her shoulder....she shivered at my touch before turning to me with her usual grin.

    "What would you like to have?...I mean what drink would you like to have"

"I will just have something similar to yours.....or his"She replied raising her face to look at Tyler who was quick to divert his attention elsewhere.

    "No...I don't think it will be advisable for a lady like you to have something like this"I stated pointing at Tyler's drink. She chuckled and pouted her lips before resting her face on her palm.

"Or have you ever had something like this before?"I asked with a furrowed brow. She chuckled and shakes her head negatively.

"No. But I want to have something like that"

"Tonight and now..."She added and I widened my eyes and turned to look at Tyler who shrugged simply.

   "Are you serious about having a drink similar to this??"I asked pointing at Tyler's drink.

   "Yes I am. You know, people do say liquor gets your mind off some things....or is that a rumor?"She asked facing Tyler who almost choked on his drink as he tried looking for a perfect answer.

"Yeah....sometimes, the rumors are true"He responded gulping down his whole drink.

  "Uhh...Von, I'll just go get my self some ripe peaches. You get me?"He uttered and winked at me before abruptly standing up which sent some of the chairs behind him falling down.

   "Uh...sorry about that"He stated trying to get away from us....no! Away from her.

"Are you leaving so soon?...and what peaches are you talking about?"she asked and widened her eye in shock just before I could reply her which gave me the aura that she already knew the type of Peach Tyler was talking about.

   "Wait!..don't tell me they sell peach fruits in here!"She questioned and my jaw dropped as I scratched the nape of my neck in frustration.

"Uh...see you dumbo"Tyler replied running off.

   "Did he just call me dumbo!"She asked turning to me as I looked helplessly at her 

   "No...he didn't mean you yunno ." I tried sounding convincing enough as she peeked narrowly at me like some mother trying to detect if their kid was lying to them.

"So who then was he referring to?"

"He meant me....you see, that my best friend and that's like our Adios slang..you get?"I replied and she chuckled resting her back on the chair.

   "Ohh I get it! Just like my ex best friend....she would always stick her tongue at me and make a love sign with her fingers before leaving"She uttered dreamily staring at the ceiling like she was remembering the good old times.

  "Ex best friend?...why ex?"

"Obviously! The silly girl left me.....we don't talk anymore"She replied and I mouthed an oh before signalling to one of the bartenders.

   "Get me my usual and get her some lime juice"I whispered to him and he nodded before walking away to get my order.

"So tell me, what's your name?"I asked trying to start up a conversation and she seemed less interested in what I was saying as she rather preferred looking at the Disco bulb lighting up the room.

   I was just about to repeat my question again when she replied me leaving me bewildered.

"Serena"....

"My name is Serena" she added and I gulped down saliva not knowing what to say....she had just made me believe she wasn't paying any attention to me then....

    "You seemed like you were not listening before"I had to say it....she chuckled and turned her face to me.

   

   "Come on, I listen with my ears and not my face"She responded catching me unaware as I just nodded slowly.

  "You won't even ask of my name?"I asked and she exhaled before yawning out loudly.

"Von?...your name is Von right? He mentioned it before leaving"She replied and I shakes my head in utter disbelief.

  "Well, that not my name...that just my name in short"

"So what's it then"She asked and just then the bartender brought our drink. Placing the lime juice before her and my liquor before me.

  "It Devon"I uttered and she laughed in amusement or Haven't she heard someone bearing that before?.

"Sounds like Demon"She stated in amidst laughter.

"Devon". She mimicked my voice probably trying to annoy me.

"Devon....Demon"She repeated laughing again while I just glared expressionless.....this girl is weirdd! 

"Hey enough okay?....let just drink and then I'll leave"I uttered . And just as I was about pouring myself a drink, she held my hands back. I looked up to her in a questioning manner.

"Here"She stated pushing her drink at me as she pushed mine to herself.

"Why exchanging drinks??"I asked narrowing my eyes at her or did she figure out so quick that I had ordered lemon juice for her?.

"I just want yours that all"She responded pouring out my drink for herself.

How the hell will I go about drinking lemon juice!??

"You not drinking?"She asked and I shake my head.

"He gave me a wrong order"I muttered calling back the bartender to bring me my regular drink while he took the lemon juice away.

  I looked up at her as she squeezed her face after taking a sip from the drink.

"Whoooo!!!...."She exclaimed shaking her head in excitement like a kid being offered candy.

   "It bitter but it gets more more better!"She added happily as she took another sip.

"Waaahh!"she exclaimed again.

"This is actually really nice....it gives a tingling sensation down my throat"She giggled while I just stared in disbelief.

"Don't just take too...."my words trailed off as she gulped down the whole glass and even reached out to pour more for herself.

"Much...."I completed in disbelief.

"Wish I figured out something like this earlier than now....pfft"She expressed chugging down the whole content again that I had to restrain her hand from reaching out to the bottle.

"Your grip is getting tighter on my wrist Von...."She whined and somehow, I liked the way she pronounced my name.

 "Come on Von..."she whined soothingly again and I found myself letting go of her wrist. Just immediately, my drink was brought to me.

"Why are you here?"I asked pouring myself a drink.

 She chuckled lightly before releasing gas from her mouth.

"As you can see, I'm easing off stress"She  responded licking the tip of the cup with her tongue.

"Your eyes is puffy why?..."I asked not knowing why I was getting interested in her affair....

    "Why do peoples eyes get puffy?"She asked with a smirk drinking from her glass.

"When they cry?...."I replied and she gagged as a result of the drink.

  "When you knew it why then did you ask?....you humans and shits" she uttered as I stared wildly at her or is she not human?...

I looked up at her eyes and noticed she was already getting dizzy....she was really fighting back sleep.

   "You are getting drunk" 

"I'm not....I just feel so fly!"She replied gripping tight on the main bottle of drink.

   "What are you trying to do...."

"Trying to feel more fly than I already am"She chuckled raising the bottle up to her mouth as she drank straight from it 

    I watched her throat go up and down in bewilderment.....I know within me that I drink a lot but seated before me was a strange lady that drinks more than anyone I know. even when it clear it was her first time.....or is she traumatized??

   "You need to stop...."I said forcefully taking the bottle away from her.

   She held the table steadily to keep her balance on the chair as she stared at me like someone who was ready to explode.

"You need to leave now....where do you leave perhaps I could drop you off"I asked tapping my pocket for my phone.

I brought it out and looked back at her. She was still in the same position...holding the table firmly with her eyes locked on my face 

   "Where do you live..... besides I have to go. It wouldn't be fair if I just leave you here"He added and she blinked rapidly as if coming out from a trance. 

   She batted her eye lash trying fight off sleep seeing her in that state, I was quick to stand up. Walking up to her side, I tapped her cheek multiple times stopping her from falling into any deep slumber.

 "Don't you even dare close your eyes ....."I muttered slapping her cheeks but she was acting lifeless when her breathe was still very much steady.

"Ohh fuvk!" I cursed bringing out my phone to call Tyler.

"Pick up you fucker!"I muttered trying to reach out to Tyler but he was not picking up his phone.

   I tried making her stand on her feet but her knees were still dancing and wobbling.

"Where do you live"I yelled out into her ears. She widens her eye and turned properly to me making me heave a sigh of relief.

  "I dunno...."her voice trailed off and I closed my eyes briefly with my hand on my waist as I washed her sit back on the chair.

"What mess have you gotten yourself into Devon.!"I cursed and watched her try to reach out for the bottle of drink again but this time, instead of snatching the drink from her, I slapped her hand fiercely making her wince lightly which sounded more like a light moan 

   "That hurts so bad Von..."She pouted her lips and I bit my lower lips hard.

"Just....just stop calling me that!" I uttered and she chuckled removing her ribbon that was holding her hair the entire time.

  I watched her pretty blonde hair fall to her face as she dropped the ribbon on the table.

  "I feel so hot!"She expressed toying with the tip of her hair.

"Come one Serena....I know you can hear me and I also know how much of a good girl you are. Come on, tell me your house address so I can drop you off. It getting late"I whispered comfortably to her and for some seconds, her facial expression felt like she was paying rasp attention to me. But I was still caught off guard when she bursted out into laughter.

  "I don't want to go home .....I like it here with you"She responded narrowing her eyes at me as she tried reaching out for my hand.

  I stretched out my hand to her and she held it firmly like it was dear to her. She bent her head slowly and landed her lips on my hand as she gave it multiple kisses which sent shivers down my spine as I watched her do her thing.

    "You need to stop please"I whispered not even making any attempt to retreat my hand.

She stopped kissing my hand and raised her face at me.

"Don't take me home please Von....not now"She pleaded leaving my hand making me feel slightly hurt that she had stopped kissing my hand. I liked the feeling her kisses made me felt.

    I looked around and called the bartender attention.

"Is my regular room available?"I asked and he nodded before dipping his hand into his pocket to bring out a single key.

   "Come on, let lay you down"I muttered trying to help her stand up.
