Nina, Kara and Lyon entered that famous ballad, they didn't have to face that line that doubled blocks. Kara had put their names on the site's “VIP” list thanks to the contact she'd maintained with David's security, unbeknownst to Nina, and unbeknownst to Kara that Dave was who, in fact, was behind all the VIPs of her unforgettable travel.
They were directed to their tables and promptly attended to. Nina was wearing a pink nude dress, a pink nude sandal, and a small bag that held her lipstick and her phone. Kara and Lyon were always dressed to “kill” no matter the occasion.
The decor of the place was highly luxurious, although visiting Rome in February can be a box of surprises as it's mid-winter, the cold still prevailing, even though the day's journeys have already slowly started to get brighter. . The few possibilities of snow in the city were not totally excluded.
Arrangements of wild flowers, harmonized with the environment that was lit by the lights of Roman torches. There was a pool covered in flowers, tents with different motifs such as coconut trees, banana trees, straws, and the bars were highlighted with a caveman theme, with designs carved into wooden masks with the name “uga-uga”. The three Musketeers were delighted!
Kara and Lyon had set up a meeting with some guys they had met during the trip and soon they arrived and joined them. There were four Italian friends, very charming and very beautiful. When they arrived at the table, Lyon introduced them and then one of them placed an undiscreet little peck on Lyon's lips, who winked at Nina and then sat down with an air of satisfaction.
Kara was light, free and loose! She kept everyone there interested in her affairs for a while until one of them began to show an interest in Nina.
The boy served her (Nina) champagne often even though she refused because she didn't like the drink, which was bitter in her mouth. Then the friends get up and go out dancing.
Kara was a woman almost deconstructed, not bound by superfluous and contradictory values. She was just free! He was dancing with the two other boys beside Lyon and his crush, while Nina had been at the table watching them. It was a very nice night and the party was very interesting until the guy next to her starts to take her hand, trying to find out more about her.
She moves a little away on the sofa, gently disguising her outside, but the boy has moved even closer to her in an attempt to get closer. He was very handsome and charming, but all of Nina's thoughts belonged to David right now.
She got up quickly saying she was going to the bathroom. The boy then got up, going after her, he wanted to accompany her out of pure chivalry, he thought. Nina walking quickly looking for the ladies' room while her “companion” kept talking around her. He was kind and funny, and seemed like a good person. Nina couldn't find the words to tell him he was being inconvenient.
When she came out of the bathroom he was outside waiting for her, and when he saw her, he said goodbye to a group of friends who stopped to say hello.
“Nina, my friends from work are inviting us up to their tent. It is a kind of cabin with drinks, and attractions aside, almost a private party within the private party. Let's go! Will be cool. We will have identification bracelets.
“I'm really enjoying where we are. You are not?
- Yes of course. But it is common here in Italy to have a private wing, where everything happens. Only important people, the cream, if you know what I mean. I'm sure the others will. You come?
Arriving at the table, Enrico told Lorenzo, Giovanni and Frederico about the invitation he had just received. Soon Lyon and Kara were elated by the proposal. They didn't stop making jokes and Nina, as always, warning them that “when alms are too much, the saint is suspicious!”.
“Here you come! Getting started, blonde? Lyon asked, pulling her friend to give her a brotherly arm.
— Guys, ignore my friend, she's just like that. She always was. She is scared. Yes we'll go! Let's make another upgrade in our Italian tourist career! - Confirmed Kara toasting with everyone in a moment, as they turned the glasses at once.
Arriving at the “vip” wing of the “vip” “city luau” party, Nina and the group of friends joined other friends who were waiting for them. There were several buckets of champagne with ice, waiters in formal dress, drinks of the most diverse, with flaming candles that gave off sparks, and colorful cocktails on every table of the guests present there. They received a lighted bracelet and went to sit down.
Nina tried to be dazzled by all that ostentation, but what really caught her attention was seeing the amount of people sniffing something on some fancy trays, which were on the tables. Others smoked a marijuana cigarette openly, smoked hookah, e-cigarettes, etc. It was at this exact moment that Nina decided to stop drinking. All her senses paralyzed her, warning her that someone would need to sober up.
The night wore on and Kara and Lyon were having fun like never before! Kara bounced on the soft velvet sofa while Giovanni pulled her by the arm and kissed him, whereupon she finished kissing him, turned and pulled Lorenzo, giving him an even more fervent kiss. Lyon clapped his hands and amused himself with his friend's audacity in Italy, because in Norway, the three practically led a monotonous life of work, training and home. Even the weekend parties were also simple compared to what they were experiencing in Italy.
Enrico was nervous, apparently annoyed that he was “left over” in the place. Kara living a love triangle with two Italian gods, Lyon living an affair with Frederick and Nina silent in a corner of the sofa. She didn't treat Enrico badly, but she made it clear that she wasn't interested in him, she was just being polite.
Kara even made him an offer saying she was big-hearted, there was always room for one more, but he just smiled. The other friends of the quadruple who invited them to that ward were also accompanied.
Suddenly a group of three friends arrived at the table where they were, tall, thin, elegantly dressed women and one of them was being held back by the other two. It was Enrico's ex-girlfriend Luma. She was clearly drunk and had expressions of someone who was sad, had cried. The ex pointed to Nina and everyone at the table, giving signs that she would make a fuss.
Luma was the daughter of one of the richest men there and a partner there. She approached Enrico's group and threw drinks at him, the friends held him, her friends held her, Luma was screaming to the “Four Winds” that she had seen him and Nina together. She called them both of the worst names you can find in the popular Italian dictionary.
Kara immediately wanted to join the fray, but her two admirers held her back, informing her that it was best for everyone to ignore her. Luma and Enrico began to argue, she accused him of treason. He retorted by stating that they had already broken up for weeks. Luma asked crying:
- How can you? Bring a woman here with you knowing I would be here with my friends? “And went after him and Nina.
Some of the security guards accompanying her asked the entire group to leave that wing: Nina, Kara, Lyon and the four Italians. Luma ordered them to leave the club, not just that area. She kept yelling and cursing at them. Kara retorted that she had paid a fortune to be there, and that if they kicked her out of the place she would call the press and the police.
The mess was ugly and had already drawn the attention of half the club. Luckily, cell phones were not allowed in that place for tycoons. Kara was unwilling to leave without being repaid, and the security guards were hopeless. All of a sudden, amidst the screams and a lot of talking, as they were walking towards the back door to be ushered out, Nina turns her face and sees David's bodyguards standing in a column, she keeps turning to face everyone. sides and finds what he was looking for: David.
She saw him at a table in the back with some women around. One of them was clearly trying to grab him. Nichols' security guards saw them pass, Nina and her group, and walked over to David's desk. Meanwhile Nina and her friends had already been kicked out of the club. Kara was unhappy trying to call the police and the local press, but she couldn't. The boys and Lyon were trying to make her give up on the idea, everyone was under the influence of alcohol, except Nina, and it was already 4 o'clock in the morning.
The guys said they would go on to another party at one of their own by a pool. Kara gave each of her arms to her companions, and Lyon had already been arm in arm with Frederick since the day they met. Enrico held out his hand to Nina and told her that if she came, the two of them would be together.
Nina looks to the side and David is standing watching them. Standing calmly, with both hands in the pocket of his linen pants. He looks at her with a look of disaffection, jealousy and disappointment, when he shakes his head, pleading disapproval. She instantly realizes he's not sober. Nina's friends talk whispering to each other:
— Ulallah! Dirty! - Lyon said rolling his eyes then.
Enrico didn't understand at all, they were all so beside themselves that they didn't even notice the whole situation in the midst of such an uproar, not even that David Nichols was there in front of them in the flesh. Everyone talking at the same time, trying to arrange transport, and arguing about what had happened. Then the other guys were already getting into the cars that pulled up in front of the club, and Kara asked if Nina was coming along. Lyon asked her too, and then Nina said she was going back to her hotel.
Enrico took Nina by the hand and shoulders, trying to guide her to the car. Nina thanked them gently trying to get loose and said she wasn't going anywhere with them. Enrico was a good person, he wasn't going to do him any harm, but he was completely beside himself, most likely due to the consumption of alcohol or other drugs.
"Let go of me, Enrico!" Let me go! Leave me! I will not get in this car. Kara, ask him to let go of me!
"Let her go now, Enrico!" shouted Kara, quite annoyed. — Let go of my friend!
His friends also told him to let go. Suddenly Nina hears:
“Nina. You come?
Nina turns and there is David, the local security and his security standing behind her.
'Yes. Of course I will, David. Can you please let go of my arm, Enrico?
Enrico dropped her, asking who that was. He was giving signs of who was going to fight even though he saw all the security guards. Everyone got out of the car to hold him and David had already pulled Nina to him.
"Who is this, Nina?" Enrico asked as he started toward them.
"I'm her boyfriend." David replied, pulling her behind him.
- Boyfriend? You said you were single. He then called her a curse word, expressing surprise. — Daughter of a mother! That's why he made “sweet ass” all night. Why didn't you talk right away? All this mess for nothing? So many other women there giving "soup" and I wasting my time.
While he was talking, his friends were already dragging him into the car. Kara and Lyon went to her and asked if she was going to be okay. David said yes. They formally introduced themselves, and Kara and Lyon hugged them tightly as they ran to the car, then left.
David still had a serious expression on his face.
- Do you want to login? he asked walking towards the door of the club.
"I just got kicked out because of…" Nina was trying to explain when he cut her off:
"I know everything already." Spare your explanations. He gestured to the bouncers and they soon cleared a path for them to pass. Nina continued to stutter:
“I don't want to go in there again, David. - She spoke as she tried to follow his steps as he walked quickly back to where he was. He didn't want to be seen by more people.
"I don't want to see you with those women at your table!" Stop walking! she screamed. “Listen to me…I don't want to be here with those people at your table.
"He doesn't want to be with me and those people, but he was with... what was don Juan's name again?" Enrico? David said, turning against her, questioning her.
“I…I didn't even know they were coming. I... I didn't even know we were going to change tables... - She replied, looking nervous.
"You don't owe me explanations." Didn't you tell him you were single? Why didn't you go with them for good? David was acting irrationally, as was Enrico, igniting the sparks inside Nina.
"I didn't go because I didn't want to go!"
"It wasn't because I showed up!"
"I would have gone anyway!" I'm not afraid of you, I don't owe you anything!
- There's still time! He said pointing to the exit of the club as he tried to stay upright.
Nina's eyes filled with tears. Her lips trembled. He was managing to hurt her. She stood for a few seconds looking him deep into his eyes and almost ran away. He bolted after her and caught up with her before she could find the exit. They were in a reserved place, in the middle of a passage that gave access to the hidden funds of the club.
The party site was gigantic, full of columns and you could see the Coliseum from afar. He asked her to stop, but she didn't look back, he froze her abruptly against a round foundation column holding her tightly as she struggled against him trying to push him away.
"Stop it, Nina!" For! So as to! David pleaded with her as she thrashed, pushed him, tried to break free.
- Let me go! I will scream! "She was threatening."
"I let go." Be calm. I just want you to calm down first. “And he was trying to hug her to his chest.
She pushed him so hard that he moved a little away from her almost falling backwards, the security guards helped him immediately...
