to go outside for a few minutes. I’ll be right back ,” I said as I started walking away, not giving them a chance to reply. They knew I would be safe since security would be outside.
Fresh air hit my face and I sucked in a deep breath. It felt good in my lungs and on my skin and the scent of the mysterious man started to fade away.
I looked around at the empty car park and started walking towards the edge.
What was with that guy? I felt an instant attraction to him. I almost fell for that player’s pick up line. I sat down on the ground for a long time just enjoying the night and listening to the slight echo of music that came from the club. I liked sitting alone.
After a while I got up. The others would start to worry and I wasn't sure how long I had been out side.
My ears picked up a noise as I walked past a bush.
I stopped dead in my tracks and listened.
A nother sound came from behind the thick shrub.
“Hello?” I said and kicked myself mentally because that is the scary movie cliché, why on earth would a villain reply if they were trying to kill you?
There was another rustle.
My feet started moving before my head could think. A low growl came from between the leaves, then came the sound of the door to the club opening. Nikkee stood in the doorway. She started walking towards me. I turned to go and meet her, glad for the company.
“Ow!” I said loudly.
As I had turned, I must have scratched my arm on the bushes.
“What happened?” Nikkee asked as she reached me.
I looked back to the bush and then down to my forearm at the deep gash that was bleeding freely.
“I must have snagged a thorn,” I replied.
Nikkee looked around me at the bush and said , “It doesn’t look thorny.”
I shrugged and put my hand to my arm, feeling blood slowly seep through my fingers and drip down.
“Oh no, Trinity,” she said in horror.
“I’ll be fine. You know what I am like, my blood runs like water. It’s not that bad. Really.”
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“Yes I’m sure.”
She threw her arms around my neck and squealed , “Happy Birthday Gorgeous!”
Chapter Three
I groaned and rolled over on my bed. My head was pounding a little, along with the gash on my arm. I did not drink much the night before, yet I was feeling a little queasy.
After Nikkee had come out and gotten me from the club car park, we had swiped a bandage from the first aid kit behind the bar for my arm, then I had let her buy me a few drinks. We had a shot of Tequila and then I had two rum and cokes. My eyes had scanned the room for the cute dark haired guy that I had been talking to before I went outside, but I had not seen him again.
I sighed a little to myself. He was really cute.
We had all caught a cab home and dropped each other off until I had been the last one left in the taxi. I had gotten the driver to stop at the corner near my house so I could sneak back inside, undetected. I didn’t feel too well when I had gotten out of the taxi. I was a bit baffled. Was I really that much of a lightweight?

I sat up a little resting on my elbows and blinked a few times as I looked at the crack in my blinds where the sunlight was rudely poking through. I hung my head in defeat and let the sun win the stare off. My stomach churned but I was not sure if it was because I was feeling slightly ill or if I was hungry. Maybe both? I have never really drank much alcohol, only tost a couple at outings so I wasn’t sure of the effect it should have on me.
Feeling torn between more sleep and eating, I decided to get out of bed and take a shower. I knew Nikkee and Sky would ring me soon so I had better be at the top of my game to handle the birthday screams I got every year.
The shower had been a comfort. Yet, when I had taken the bandage off my arm it looked wrong. I had held it under the shower to clean it but more blood started running out. I started to freak out a little that it may be
