On seeing what she was, the guy staggered a few steps backwards. Everything in his body began to tremble.
"Be grateful I don't have time for you because I would have made sure you regret your actions today," Audrey said. She held Joanna's hand and led her away.
After they had walked far away from the scene of commotion, Audrey paused. She let her eyes scrutinize the club which had another floor upstairs.
With all the loud music, screams, smoke from cigarettes, perfume and cologne mixed with sweat, finding someone especially one who has hidden his scent proves to be a difficult task for the two ladies.
"How on Earth are we gonna find him here?" Audrey bitterly complained and kept staring into the far distance.
"Come, I know someone who might be able to tell us his whereabouts," Joanna whispered into Audrey's ears.
She held her hand and led him to the spot she is familiar with.
Reaching the darkest part of the club, she met a man sitting in the middle of two ladies. The scene of him teasing the girls was as she had imagined.
"Hey, it's you," Kyle faked a surprised look on turning around to see two girls standing in front of him.
Because Audrey's face was tilted as she strained her neck to see what was happening in another part of the club he couldn't see her face.
"You must be looking for him right?" Kyle guessed. He adjusted well so that he wasn't choked by the ladies at his side.
"How did you know that?" She quizzed. She ignored the ladies by his side, in the same manner, she did on her first day there.
"You keep looking around even though it's just me around. Also, I know you are the type who doesn't enjoy going to clubs so it's kind of obvious what you are looking for…,"
"So where is he now since he is not here?" Audrey asked irritatedly as she turned to see the face of the one Joanna was speaking to.
"It's you?" Kyle and Audrey chorused with bewildered expressions.
"Do you both know each other," Joanna asked when she saw the way they couldn't take their eyes off each other.
"Hey, why is none of you saying anything?" Joanna asked displeasingly, thinking that they were deliberately ignoring her.
Kyle composed himself after Joanna's outburst.
"He and Amelia left the club not long ago," He said, not answering Joanna's previous question.
"So where did the two of them go exactly?" Audrey demanded, her gaze not shifting from his face.
The way they kept ignoring Joanna made her wonder whether they still recall that she was present there.
"Hmm…," Kyle trailed. He pushed away the hands of the lady trying to play with his chest hair.
"I overheard them talking about going on a date. I don't know anything else apart from that," Kyle relayed all he claims to know.
"But why…,"
"Did you guys realize that I am still standing here?" Joanna asked. She snapped a finger at both of their faces to get their attention.
"Also, why does it look like both of you are purposely avoiding the topic of your encounter…,"
"Aren't you in a hurry to catch him?" Kyle asked.
"Is he some criminal that needs to be caught that you had to use the term CATCH on him?" frowned as she talked.
Kyle tilted his head, making sure his eyes were locked on Joanna's.
"Would you have preferred I used the word chase, pursue, hunt, run or woo…,"
"You are…,"
"From how starved Amelia looked, I am sure she is gonna eat him whole before the night matures. So take my advice and leave in search of him," Kyle provoked.
"By eating, do you mean she desires his blood?" She asked innocently.
Her words caused everyone at the table to burst out laughing. Even Audrey could not hold back her laughter.
"This is the problem with innocent girls…,"
"And what is wrong with being innocent and pure? Have you imagined what the world would have been like if all men and women were as experienced as you?" Joanna snapped.
She doesn't get upset if Audrey or Kayden calls her pure and innocent but she felt angry hearing it from another person.
"Anna, you are getting too emotional besides you didn't let him finish what he wanted to say? It's bad to jump to conclusions," Audrey cautioned, noticing how quiet Kyle and the ladies by his side have become because of Joanna's words.
"When I said she would eat him whole, I wasn't talking about drinking his blood but I met having sex…,"
"What!" Joanna's eyes bulged as she stared at him with her mouth open.
"Yeah and this why I said you don't have time to…," He smiled seeing that she had started walking away.
Audrey took a long glance at the guy who happens to be looking at her also. She hastens to catch up to Joanna without saying a word to her.
"So the lady I saved was Joanna's best friend that Chris and Kayden often told me about?" Kyle mumbled, his gaze concentrated on where Audrey stood before she left.
Joanna was surprised to see Audrey let go of her hand after they reached outside the club.
"Sorry Anna, but I will have to leave you from here onwards?" Audrey informed meekly.
Joanna's expression fell on learning about the new development. "Drey didn't you hear what he said…,"
"He has a cellphone so you can always call him to ask him about his whereabouts instead of trying to guess his location. You will find him quickly if you consider my suggestion….,"
"But…,"
"From the beginning, I wasn't planning to be a third wheel during your love confession. I just wanted to take you to him and leave. I believe you will do fine without me so cheer up girl," Audrey said and tickled her but Joanna didn't smile despite this.
"Also, when you finally see him, make sure to get rid of this miserable look so that the mean lady won't use that opportunity to bully you," Audrey advised.
