I walked into the club and let the loud music and dim lights engulf me. The strong scent of alcohol mingling with sweat came to my nose. I feel a presence beside me see Ace standing beside me once again, his arm draped across my back.
Memories from the last time we were here flash through my head and I let him lead me to our reserved booth, Kade and Lani on one side, Ace and I on the other, and cal sitting in the middle. 
I watched as one of the strippers, whose name I remembered as Zella approached our booth. Her curly blonde locks fell in front of her face when she bends over, attempting to gain attention. Elani and I exchange humorous looks before when we see the two boys looking in every direction except hers. 
I look at Cal to see her completely in awe at the girl in front of us. Zella was gorgeous I wouldn't blame ace for checking her out, cause honestly, I was too. 
Calista stands up and is led by the curly-haired blonde into another room, but not before turning around to send a wink our way. 
"Can we dance" I whisper into Ace's ear, I was feeling bored and wanted to stay sober until at least 11 pm.
His lips meet my neck and he begins sucking on the skin, "it's much better here don't you think?" He breathes, his breath fanning my neck. 
I look to Elani and my brother's seats to see that they had already disappeared. Quickly, I turn in his lap to straddle him and let his hands lie on my hips. 
Snaking my arms around his neck, I pull his lips to mine and kiss him passionately, my hands making their way lower near his pelvis. His shirt rides up a little and my fingers trace his abdomen and he sucks in a breath.
Taking this as an invitation, I hook my fingers on his waistband and trace his abdomen. Suddenly my hands are removed and his lips are brushing my ear. 
"Don't start anything you can't finish" he whispers warningly down in my ear, his voice causing goosebumps to appear down my spine. He twirls me around so my back is pressing against his chest, "Can you feel that cielito?" he smirks against my neck. 
I shudder and nod at him, his bulging member was poking at me, making heat rise to my cheeks. 
"I'm gonna go get a drink, or 5" I blurt, feeling embarrassed, causing him to chuckle when I leave.
I order two shots and down them on the spot and get a beer for Ace. When I'm walking by I bump into a familiar face, "Bella?" only one person calls me Bella, "Anthony," I say, faking excitement in my voice, 
"How are you?" I ask, not very engaged in the conversation, I wanted to leave.
"I'm good, same old you know, just chilling. I got a call from the travel agency and they agreed to extend my stay if you want to ever hang out ag-" I cut him off before he finishes, I really didn't want to hang out with him.
"Listen, I gotta go but it was nice seeing you! I smile at him and quickly walk away to prevent the conversation from going on any longer. 
When I walk back to the table Ace looks tense and distracted, "Ace?" I ask, bringing his attention to me, "what's wrong?" I ask and he looks at me, his eyes holding guilt and pain. He looks over all my features and cups my cheek in his hand, but suddenly something clicks in his head and he gets up.
"I need to leave," he says, shrugging his jacket back on.
"ok let's go" I look around for my purse and begin walking.
"No Arabella I'm going, you stay here," he says, sounding angry.
"Why? What happened?" I asked furrowing my brows. Before I left he had been fine, what happened to him?
