Chapter 22: the disapearance

                                    

                                          



After Niragi had left to deal with some other business outside of the beach, I decided to put my mind off things and tried to have some fun. I was in the club this time, together with Kuina, dancing, singing, not caring about a single person around us.
                          
"C'mon let's dance up here!", I invited her after jumping on one of the podiums.
                          
-"No I'm not that good of a dancer!", she yelled back.
                          
"Please!", I pouted at her.
                          
-"Show me your best moves!", she teasingly shouted back.
                          
"Okay then, watch me!".
                          
I let myself be one with the blasting music, my movements flowing through the melodies of the played songs like a feather blowing in the wind. I let myself be free in the moment, forgetting about anyone around me, ignoring the environment as I was the one stealing the show. It felt good, trying to have fun for once, as I've been mostly isolating myself here, or having to be isolated. Although it's fun, I'm already starting to miss Niragi. Was I obsessed with him? Yes maybe. But it doesn't feel bad because I know he feels the same way about me. I already started wondering how he'd feel about me swaying like this on stage. I know how much he hates other guys staring at me, and how possessive he'd become over me once he found out someone else was trying to hit on me. But this time he wasn't present, and I don't even have any intentions of attracting other people, I just simply wanted to feel free for a moment.  
                          
I stopped my dancing and jumped off the podium.
                          
-"Whoow! That was amazing wow!", Kuina was excitingly clapping for me, totally in awe. 
                          
"Thank you very much for the feedback madam, I appreciate it", I jokingly bowed to her as a junior would do to their senior.
                          
-"Seriously I think everyone must've stopped and stared at you! Just look around some are still staring", Kuina teased again.
                          
I looked around again to see some eyes still glued to me, most of them looking like hungry men, as if they saw me as their next target. 
                          
"Too bad I'm not interested", I responded with a slight smirk.
                          
-"Ah yes, I forgot, you're Niragi's property", she joked back.
                          
"Well if you phrase it like that..", I let my eyes dwell away slightly, "he's also my property then", I said with a smile. She laughed back in response.
                          
"Anyways we should do this mo-"
                          
--"Oh hey pumpkin there you are again!", someone cut me off. 
                          
I turned around, rolling my eyes in annoyance, to see who was talking to me.
                          
"Not you again", I said, my face showing disappointment. The same man that was trying to seduce me last time, who then got struck by Niragi's rifle, was now standing in front of me again. 
                          
--"You we're dancing pretty smoothly up there, you should perform for us more, maybe in private?", the man was trying to shoot his shot again.
                          
"Not interested, thank you very much", I responded in a blank tone.
                          
--"Well where's your "boyfriend" huh?", he asked, as if he was trying to provoke me.
                          
"He's not here at the moment", I answered with a fake polite smile on my face.
                          
--"Well exactly he's not here! Don't you want to have some fun with us?", he kept on bugging me, and I had almost reached my limit. I tried to stay calm either way, because I was moments away from exploding.
                          
His hand had suddenly found it's way on my ass, trying to persuade me by touching me intimately. In one swift movement I took my gun from the holster and placed it under his chin, cocking it back.
