"Tap"
"Tap"
"Tap"
We walked to their table, which was right next to the exit
There were four girls waiting for us
"Hi girls,my name is Dak Danvers, nice to meet you"
Dak introduced himself, then shook hands with all four girls
"Hello, my dear, I'm glad to meet you too. My name is Daiana Estera, call me Daiana"
One of the girls introduced herself. She was just as beautiful as Ana, short brown hair reaching her shoulders, bright green eyes, a tattoo of a rose and thorns on her neck, two simple earrings like the ones men wear, and a plain white dress that reached her ankles with a low neckline.
"Of course, my lady"
Dak answered, taking her right hand and kissing the back of her palm
"What a gentleman, are you like that with all the ladies?"
She asked Dak in a playful tone, which made him freeze
"Hahaha"
"I was just kidding with you, you don't need to be so serious" she told him while laughing
We all began laughing at him
"This is hilarious, haha"
Stated Kael
Ana, who was in the middle of all of us, reminded us again of what she had said a few minutes ago.
"See? I told you guys it's gonna be fun"
"Yeah, hahaha" responded Ozias while laughing
While all of this happened, me and Matthew were just watching, barely speaking
It's not because we don't like women or something
We are not gay
It was just that we weren't really in the mood anymore
As we watched the boys chatting and getting to know the girls, three of them looked at me and Matthew closely
We didn't say anything, we just looked back at them
At some point, Daiana invited us to sit down on the sofa beside them, so each one of us took a seat
Dak sat next to Daiana on her left side, Kael next to Ana, between her and Daiana and Ozias next to Kael
Me and Matthew sat between the other three women
Rebekah, a brunette woman in her twenties, black eyes and perfect red lips, wearing a long black dress with long sleeves together with a white pair of sneakers
She looked very mature
I took the seat to her right side and to the left side of Natalia
Natalia looked almost like Rebekah, short curly brunette hair and a white dress with a long slit
When she leaned forward to greet us, I noticed the mole under her lip
I sat between her and Rebekah
And last but not least, Matthew took the place between Natalia and Mei, surprisingly, a woman of foreign origins
Three men at the bar were staring at her, unable to look away
She had round black eyes, beautiful black hair left free and almost messy, and perfect lips that could make anyone go crazy, even me...but she gave me an older-sister vibe
"So, what can you tell us about you, girls?"
Ozias asked them excited
"Well, I'm nineteen years old and I like dancing as well as partying. Haha. I like living life at maximum, I love doing crazy stuff and getting to know new people" Daiana told us about herself
"We all like that in a way" Ana said as well
"Then you met the right guys. We are the craziest guys you could ever find around here" Ozias told her about us
"Even them? They don't seem like that, they are too quiet"
She was asking about me and Matthew
"Oh, them? Well, I don't know why, usually they are not like that, especially Zeven, he is the craziest between all of us" Dak said, which made the girls pay special attention Daiana even put a hand on her left cheek while leaning on the table as if she had heard something interesting
"Really? Even more crazy than you?"
She was talking about Dak
"Yeah"
"Unbelievable" she affirmed with her mouth open, a shocked reaction but not exaggerated
"Yeah, he doesn't seem that type"
Ana said after her
"Maybe he is in a bad mood but I don't think so, nothing happened to put him in a bad mood" Ozias stated, sure of himself and I knew I had to say something, to ease him and Dak
"Nah, I'm fine, just maybe a little bit tired"
I told them
"Man, it's your birthday, you can't be tired, we just started"
"It's your birthday?"
Mei asked something for the first time, engaging in the conversation
"Yes, I turned nineteen" I answered her question
"Happy birthday!"
She congratulated me with a warm and calm smile, and I answered with the same energy
"Thank you"
Then the other women also congratulated me and I thanked them every time
"I'm going to get drinks, you coming with me?"
Matthew asked me after some time
"Sure"
And I followed him
"Same drink, boys?" the barman asked us
"For sure" I replied with a polite smile, then we took the drinks and went back. But while walking toward them, Matthew asked something:
"What do you think about the girls?"
"Well, they are certainly very beautiful, especially Natalia"
"Haha. She for sure is a very beautiful woman, the kind of beauty men can kill for" he said confidently
I didn't agree, even though it's not wrong
"Maybe. Which one caught your attention?"
I asked, staying on topic
"Hmm, I don't know… maybe Mei?"
It was a surprise for me to hear that
"Really?" I asked
"Yes, why? Are you interested in her?" he responded with a question
"Nah, she is not my type, brother and she gives me the vibe of an older sister"
My answer made him start laughing a little, which I can understand
Suddenly, while laughing with him, I started feeling nauseous, my head hurting and my heart beating faster like it wanted to jump out of my chest
"Ugh"
I gasped from the pain
My vision began blurring
"Zeven, are you feeling good?" Matthew asked, scared, putting his hand on my shoulder
Suddenly, I collapsed to the ground on my knees
I felt the air leaving my lungs like a fish on the ground
My blood hotter and hotter, burning but the most painful among all this pain were my eyes, feeling like two balls of lava in their sockets
And the worst part, I couldn't see while feeling it all, which made it worse
"Arghhhh!"
I screamed as loud as my voice could hold, which made my friends and everyone in the pub panic
Everyone formed a circle around me, each wondering what had happened and if I was okay
"ZEVEN!!"
Matthew screamed my name and very fast got on his knees beside me
He put a hand on my head and felt how bad I was burning
"What happened!?" Kael asked loudly
"I don't know, he was fine a few moments ago!"
"He is not good, let's get him to a hospital... fast!" Dak screamed
"Ozias, you get the car ready, me and Kael will carry him to the car!"
Dak shouted while throwing the keys to Ozias
"Come, Kael, take his left shoulder and help me!"
"Dak, clear the way!"
"Ok!"
Then they carried me to the car fast while Dak cleared the way
We arrived at the car where Ozias was waiting for us with bated breath
Dak opened the door fast
"Wait, don't put him like that!"
Kael stopped them
"Dak, get on the middle seat, Ozias, you sit on the left side next to him, while I take the right side, we will hold him so that he cannot fall, Matthew will drive"
"Ok"
Matthew helped them put me in the car, then he ran fast to the driver seat and accelerated quickly
"Vroooom"
