Chapter 2

It’s Saturday night and Nikki and Hannah had convinced me to go to a club with them. I much rather stay in the flat and binge-watch something on Netflix but my therapist told me to get out to try and enjoy myself. Clubbing is not my scene but Nikki and Hannah will not stop bugging me to go. So here I am in my bedroom Nikki and Hannah buzzing around me, Nikki is doing my hair and Hannah is doing my make-up. Then there is a piece of material they want me to put on. Yes, it’s a piece of material. The dress is so short and low cut at the back you could almost see my ass. It’s fashionable and I need to wear it. I’m primed up, hair done, make-up done, high heels, and this short dress. Hannah and Nikki are also dressed to impress. We ordered an Uber and had a glass of champagne while waiting for the Uber. Nikki made a toast “To Danielle getting laid” She almost screamed “NIKKI” I said in shock. “Just saying, Danielle.” “I’m not going out for that reason, I’m going out to have a few drinks with the two of you and maybe dance a song or two. “Okay Danielle, I’m only joking with you,” Nikki said. “Just making myself clear Nikki,” I told her. Our Uber driver arrived and we gave him the address and we were off.

When we got to the club there was a long line in front of the club. Hannah walked straight up to the bouncer managing the doors, she spoke to one of them and then they let us in. A few people were swearing at the bouncers because we were let in and they still had to wait. I don’t know what Hannah said to him but I was glad we didn’t have to stand in the line outside. These heals were already killing me. I’m a jeans, T-shirt, and sneaker kind of girl. We went straight to the bar and Hanna ordered us 3 shots of tequila. We cheered and downed the tequila. Then I was dragged to the dance floor. It was one of my favorite songs playing so it was easy to get into the mood for dancing. The dance floor got full very quickly and Nikki, Hannah, and I were dancing much closer to each other.

When the next song started I felt hands on my hips and the hands led me to the rhythm. When I looked back I saw a guy with black hair and brown eyes looking down at me. He had a 5 o’clock shadow and was built like someone going to the gym every day. He started to move with me or should I say I started moving with him. He was an attractive guy I could think of a few worse things than dancing with a sexy guy. When I looked over I saw Nikki and Hannah had their hot guys dancing behind them. We danced for two more songs when the men took our hands and led us off the dance floor. I tried to ask where we were going but the music was too loud. They led us to a VIP area where they had a booth, when we were inside the music got a lot softer. The guy who danced with me spoke first. “Can I get you girls something to drink?” he asked us with a deep accent. Hannah spoke first “were are you from, you not American” “No we’re not, we’re Italian.” The guy that danced with Nikki said. “Can we ask you your names?” I asked. The guy who danced with me said “Only if you tell us yours.” He teased. “Well I’m Danielle, that’s Nikki and Hannah,” I said “Now your turn,” I said “I’m Lorenzo this is David and Marco” “Nice to meet you,” I said to them, and Nikki and Hannah to. “Now can I get you girls something to drink?” Lorenzo asked again.

Hannah answered first “If you can have sex on the beach we will have that.” “As you wish my lady” he smiled at her. I must admit they are all stunning men. He made our cocktails and then gave the men something on the rocks. We all said cheers in unison then took a sip of our drinks. I must admit it was very strong, I even gave a little cough. Lorenzo took my drink and said, “Let me put some more mix in, looks like you’re a lightweight.” I smiled at him. He came back and gave my drink back to me. I took another sip and it was better. “Thank you” “My pleasure”. We finished our drink and then went to dance again. Lorenzo not leaving my side. I thought that was a bit weird, but okay let’s roll with it. We danced another four songs then went back to the VIP lounge where Lorenzo made us another cocktail. His creation. It was sweet but delicious. We talked to the guys and told them what we were studying. Nikki was kissing her guy, can’t remember his name. Hannah was on her guy's lap and me and Lorenzo just talked. I started to feel funny I could hear I was slurring my words and then nothing. I passed out.

Nikki, Hannah, and I woke up in the back of a van. Hands tied and duct tape on our mouths we all started to panic. I could see in Nikki and Hannah’s eyes they were near tears. The tears were falling down my cheeks since I opened my eyes and realized what happened. We were drugged and kidnapped all the worst scenarios were going through my mind thus the reason I started crying a while ago. Nikki and Hannah tried to speak but I shook my head at them. We needed to keep our strength up and not try anything until the right time.
