Heartless

Chapter 34

Julia's POV

"Okay Ivy I'm ready!" I shouted down the stairs.

Last night, Ivy had called me to tell me that we were going to a club with Kayla tonight.

I was reluctant at first but they said it was to celebrate my first mission, not that they knew how badly it really went.

I'd explain what happened later.

I rushed down the stairs with my clutch bag in hand. I was wearing a long sleeved black dress which reached just above the knee. It was a lot less revealing than yesterday's outfit choice and I was thankful for that.

"Finally!" Ivy said. "It's taken you even longer than me to get ready."

"I'm sorry, let's just go. I need a good night out." I sighed.

"And that's exactly why we're going."

"Are we meeting Kayla there?"

"Yeah, she said that she was going straight from work."

"Oh okay."

We then walked out to the drive and got into the car. It was already considerably dark outside and I was ready for a good girls' night.

When Ivy pulled up outside the club, there were colourful flashing lights and loud music flooding out of the doors.

There were multiple security guards stood outside, crowded by a large group of people and Ivy and I swiftly made our way through the crowds.

Once we'd shown the bouncer our ID, we were free to go into the club.

We spotted Kayla immediately from across the room and made our way over to her. Pushing through the crowds of sweaty people.

"Hey Kayla!"

"Oh hey girls! You're finally here, let's get you some drinks."

She leaned over the bar and grabbed the bartenders attention, quickly getting us our drinks.

"To Julia's first...mission." Kayla slurred, turning her voice to a whisper at the word 'mission'.

"Wooo!" Ivy yelled, holding her cup in the air as I laughed with my two best friends.

We began dancing for hours on end and we were having such a good time. Kayla was already tipsy when we arrived and it didn't take long for Ivy to join her.

Seeing as I don't usually drink, I was the designated driver for the night...as usual.

"I need another drink." I shouted over the music towards my hyper friends.

"Okay! Then come back to dance with us." Ivy giggled, sipping her drink.

I walked back over to the bar and shuffled my way through the group of people, trying to get the bartenders attention.

All of a sudden, I was greeted by a man. He was tall with dark hair and deep, brown eyes, which reminded me of Reed.

"Hi there." he said, greeting me with a smile. "Can I buy you a drink?"

He was quite attractive and seeing as I was trying to get over whatever I had with Reed, I thought, why not?

"Sure. I'll just take a lemonade." I smiled.

"Lemonade? No alcohol?" he asked.

"I don't drink."

"Oh, that makes sense."
