Chapter 541 - One day before wedding (S&F) (3)

The girls enjoyed the 'Sharing game' very much. They continued playing until they left the restaurant.

"Next stop: Black Rose!", JoAnna exclaimed.

Sarah was walking in front with Maddie, Brie, Jessica and Bridgette and explained that Black Rose is a popular nightclub and that they have their VIP room which provides privacy, but if anyone wants to dance and mingle in the crowd they can go downstairs.

Sophia confirmed Sarah's words.

As they were walking out of the VIP room, Leah and Isabella were last to leave and JoAnna used this as an opportunity to talk with them. She pulled them back in the room so that they are not overheard by others.

"Is everything OK between you two?", JoAnna asked with a concerned expression.

"Why wouldn't be?", Leah asked, obviously surprised by the question.

"Oh, nothing. Just how you two acted… I thought that maybe something happened, and you are not together anymore.", JoAnna smiled and turned to leave.

"Wait!", Leah grabbed JoAnna's elbow, but just for a second before quickly releasing it like she burned herself. "You… you know?", she stuttered.

JoAnna giggled. "Who doesn't?"

Leah watched JoAnna leave before turning to Isabella. "Did you tell them?"

"No.", Isabella honestly responded.

"How do they know then?"

"Maybe they are just observant? Does it matter?", Isabella was slightly irritated by Leah's flustered behavior like she was caught doing something she shouldn't.

Leah thought for a moment how silly she is. Keeping her distance from Isabella because she is not sure how others will react. And now it turns out that everyone knows, and they are fine with it… And she is the one acting strange.

"Of course, not." Leah took Isabella's hand in hers. "Let's go. So, we don't keep them waiting."

Leah relaxed and smiled when she felt that Isabella's fingers wrapped around her hand.

Two of them exited VIP room in hurried steps and bumped into Felix and the guys.

Guys were confident that girls left and exited shortly after them.

There was a strange silence while Leah and Isabella observed five guys in front of them. And all the guys (other than Gustav) stared back at them with horror in their eyes. It was almost like you can hear crickets chirping in the background.

Felix was first to crack: "Please, don't tell Sophia!"

"We were just making sure you girls are safe!", Aiden exclaimed.

"Not stalking or anything creepy.", Jeff added.

Steve was nodding to all of that.

Leah and Isabella exchanged glances and proceeded to leave the restaurant without a word. They shared an understanding: 'We don't want any part in this. We will pretend we didn't see anything.'

If they say something, Sophia might be upset, as well as JoAnna, Sarah and Bridgette. And guys will definitely be upset because they exposed them. The only thing they could do is to pretend that they didn't see them. This didn't happen.

The guys were left behind, not sure what Leah and Isabella will do. They didn't acknowledge them at all. If two girls didn't stop and stared at them, guys would think that they are like air, invisible. They were not sure if that is a good thing or not.

…

In Black Rose, girls got inside without waiting in the line. Because of Hill sisters, they skipped everyone and went straight in. They quickly settled in the VIP room which is designed for Hill sisters.

In the VIP room…

They ordered drinks and played 'truth or dare' game for few rounds.

JoAnna was happy to see that tense mood between Leah and Isabella is gone. They were sitting close to each other, holding hands and chatting happily.

Maddie, Brie and Jessica decided to go down and dance. Leah and Isabella joined them few minutes later.

Sophia lifted her legs on the sofa to rest, Sarah does not like crowds and JoAnna stayed with her sisters.

Bridgette was not sure if she should go down or not and after some contemplating, decided to stay in VIP room. She concluded that down is for meeting guys and dancing and she is not interested in any if Steve is not there.

Sarah looked at JoAnna and offered her praise. "Good job with Leah and Isabella. How did you do it?"

"Hehehe, I have my ways." JoAnna smirked and lifted her chin smugly.

"I suspected there is something between them during company meeting. Now I see that I was right.", Sophia added, proud of her observation skills.

"I wonder what Steve is doing now…", Bridgette sighed, totally out of context.

"Poor girl. We are all in this together… missing them." Sarah rubbed Bridgette's back in small circles to comfort her. "The guys are doing their guy things. You want to see where they are?"

Bridgette looked at Sarah with expectant eyes.

The truth is that Sarah was also missing Aiden like crazy. She was looking for any excuse to contact him, and now she can look up his location with a pretense that it's for Bridgette. She knows they are in the apartment, but still, confirming it makes her feel like she is closer to Aiden. JoAnna and Sophia felt the same about Jeff and Felix and they all inched closer to Sarah to see her phone.

…

On the dance floor…

Maddie, Brie and Jessica didn't need more than few minutes to find good candidates for dancing. Three guys they picked were handsome, charming, willing to dance and apparently available. Girls didn't need more, it's not like they are looking for long-term relationships. They are here to have fun.

A bit further away, Leah and Isabella locked their eyes while moving much slower than the beat of the music. Actually, two of them didn't hear the music or see the people around them.

'Oh, how much I want to hold her!', Isabella's expression didn't hide her thoughts. Her eyes devoured Leah and Leah could almost feel it.

Leah's heart was pounding in her ears and she blushed from the excitement while inching closer to Isabella until their lips locked.

And there it was… soft, gentle, teasing kiss which left them both starving for more before it ended. Kiss which demanded to be deepened while their bodies stuck to each other.

Leah's firm chest pressed slightly above Isabella's and everything would be perfect if not for that pesky clothes they are wearing. It didn't take long for them to break kissing frenzy and to look at each other, fire burning within their eyes.

"Do you want to come to my hotel room?", Isabella offered, breathless.

Before Leah finished her nod both of them were walking outside club while holding hands.
