Check Mate
Chapter three
When I first saw her
She took my breath away.
Her mesmerizing beauty
I couldn't understand.
There she was...
The woman of my dreams,
A sight I couldn't believe.
She had eyes of a color unknown to me
And hair smoother than silk.
My words couldn't describe
The angel I've just seen.
She had a sexy voice
Hard to resist.
And a pair of lips
You just want to kiss.
She's an angel in disguise
She's the queen of my heart.
To her I want to pledge
My entire life.
A woman like her is hard to forget
And that's why I'll always remember
When I first saw her.

Music pounded through my body as sweaty bodies pressed against my own. I was trying to walk through the huge crowd with my right hand locked into Mariah's hand, who was currently leading me towards the direction the man who drove us, pointed out to us a small bar far in the corner.
He was still talking to the bouncer who had let us skip the long forbidden line. It was as if he came here often and made friends with the bouncer.
I gave a slight shudder thinking of someone who would actually come here that much. What was the sole purpose of spending your life in a bar full of drunken and mischief humans?
"Two Poison Apples." I could hear Mariah shout to the bartender over the counter who's eyes were set on her breast before looking up and giving her a nod quickly. She noticed not giving a care. I sat down on a bar stool next to Mariah who was currently swaying her hips beside me along with the music.
"We sure did get in here fast. If it wasn't for Mr. Hot stuff, we would be waiting all night just to be able to stand next to the door." Mariah yelled over the music. She turned to face me and noticed my awkwardness as I was trying to keep my dress over my knees.
My dress was not doing a very well of a job at covering my body as I would like it to. Noticing unwanted eyes land on my exposed skin I fought with my dress.
Mariah rolled her eyes, "Let loose!" grabbing my hand once again, she pulled me up to a standing position with my dress smoothly going down to where I wanted it to go.
The bartender gave a shout of her order before sliding the two drinks towards us. I noticed his eyes once again flickered back down at her breast before he landed his eyes towards mine, giving a smirk as he glided his eyes on my own. My cheeks grew hot before I quickly turned around from his view.
"Dirty animals." I mumbled as I watched Mariah take a gulp of her drink before looking at me and shoving the other glass into my hand.
"Drink." she simply ordered. Looking down at the dark liquid that sparkled in the flashing lights I quickly followed her instructions and took a sip. After a small swallow of the liquid, I could already feel the burn of it.
"Burns huh?" she asked while watching my reaction. I nodded trying another sip but not liking the taste of it once again. "That's how it got it's name." she laughed as she noticed my dislike of it. She quickly grabbed it from me and took a gulp, finishing it up for me.
I furrowed my eyebrow watching her drink it without any disgust. "You know, you did promise me you would only have one drink, right?" I asked. She gave a small smile knowingly I was going to be the nominated driver tonight. I sighed, rolling my eyes while she order yet another drink.
A hand landed on my shoulder as a small startled yelp made its way through my mouth. Looking up to meet the same golden eyes I had seen in the Ferrari, I slightly relaxed.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. My name's Eli, if you were wondering." he spoke with a half smile. I nodded not knowing what to say from my embarrassment.
So his name was Eli? He didn't look like an Eli maybe more of a Derek but not an Eli. He eyed Mariah quickly with a concern look before facing me once again. "Is she usually like this?" I heard him ask me, looking up to him as he had a look of worry cross his face.
"She comes here every once in awhile but I never tag along, so I have no clue." I answered watching her gulped down her third drink as she swayed her hips. A random guy with a sleeve of tattoos walked up to her, grabbing her hips as she swayed with his movements.
I looked back to Eli, noticing his strain muscles and clenched fists. Before I could ask him what was wrong he made his way over to Mariah and the random guy with my eyes following his movements. I watched as Eli quietly whispered something into the guys ears before his face drained and he walked away quickly.
Mariah stood with the same shocked face as me while she grumbled about having no fun. Eli watched as the random guy walked out of the doors before facing the two of us. "My boss has a private room in the back for only special guest. I'm taking you two there, it will be free of trash like that." he quickly spoke grabbing Mariah's hand.
"He worked here?" I thought to myself. No wonder he was so close with the bouncer earlier. I quickly followed him back along with Mariah tightly in his hand. I was only going because I was hoping it was quieter and less crowded from all the sweaty bodies.
Walking to the near back, we stopped at a locked door as he pulled out a key and unlocked it. Opening up the door for us he let us go in first as he walked in behind us letting go of Mariah's hand. My eyes adjusted to the warm lighting that lit the room. It was a medium size room with three other people sitting in it on big chairs as all their eyes landed on the new comers.
I quickly looked down hiding behind Mariah as she gasped up at the room with Eli next to us. "Eli, what did I tell you about new comers? Especially ones not our kind?" I heard a dark muscular voice speak softly but somehow sounded frightening making my heart flutter from his voice but with added confusion.
What did he mean not their kind? Not rich? Wait..
My eyes grew big as my heart started beating frantically. I stepped back from Mariah looking infront of her searching each individual closely.
There was a blond woman and two other guys sitting. One man had my focus right away. I couldn't see his eyes due to how the room was poorly lit but did noticed his beautiful structure of his sharp jaw and his toned arms that were covered in a patterned of tattoos.
I looked at the womans uncovered arm and noticed her arm with the same patterned as my eyes looked at each person noticing the same patterns, even Eli had them.
I gasped pulling Mariah's hand with me as I realized we were in a room full of gang members who could kill us at any moment without the cops ever finding out a trace of us.
Eli stood infront of the door quickly as to know my escape plan that I had just thought of moments ago. "Relax, we don't bite...well I don't know about boss over there." he mumbled the last part as Mariah just laughed as if nothing was wrong.
"Besides, I think you're going to like what I brought you." Eli said looking at his boss before he glanced at me, guilt flashing on his apologetic face.
"You guys are in a gang." I blurted out before I realized my mistake trying to cover my mouth. Well just add to my death wish I thought to myself.
I heard a light chuckle that made me weak at my knees coming from the man who was supposedly was the boss. I looked towards him questionably wondering why this was humorous. Maybe they were going to kill us.
"We are in no kind of a gang, Princess." the boss spoke, getting up walking towards us. "You did well Eli. I could smell her right away when she walked in. I'm just not happy that she has to find out like this."
Mariah felt the uneasiness as she nudged closer to Eli, who was at the moment grabbing her and pulling her closer to him. I on the other hand was now stuck with air as my backup.
I gulped trying to ease my racing heart as he came right up to me with two strides, looking down as I looked up. My eyes landed on his before my heart gave a loud thump. He smiled a beautiful smile that I had seen so many times but yet this time it was real.
"We finally get to meet, Princess." as I looked back into his green orbs.
She took my breath away.
Her mesmerizing beauty
I couldn't understand.
There she was...
The woman of my dreams,

She had eyes of a color unknown to me
