My Life was a Game

Chapter 7

April's eyes were bulging out as she saw the bulge in between the stripper's legs. Not to mention how little he wore. 'This is embarrassing! God, forgive this child'. It was her first stripper club, so she felt overwhelmed with the situation. She covered her blushing face with her hands and bowed to her knee, covering the embarrassment. Jessie and Jenat were laughing hysterically while giving tips to the stripper to dance in front of April. Their laughter caught everyone's attention, at first it was annoying but gradually the laughter spread across the floor.

The host was unsure how to help the poor lady while everyone was having fun. April shouted her excuse to go to the restroom. Agitated, flustered but April soon laughing on herself on her way to the restroom. Needless to say, everyone eyes locked on her. A certain man heard her laugh as he climbed the stairs to the first floor and he thought she was already drunk. April came back to their seat with anew confidence and enjoyed the atmosphere.

After a couple of heavy drinks, the group got more confident to play on a dance floor. There were more females than males that night, so the confident April had became triple and danced without care. A certain man already had a few drinks but he still sobered.

He had a flat medium beard and an undercut style for his midnight blue hair. His ocean blue pupils were locked on the mahogany haired lady from the first floor. He thought he would never like drunken people but this lady made him excited just from watching her dance. He must have been so hungry that he reacted like this but he stood up anyway. He bet with his group of friend, he won if the lady went home with him.

His group was confident they would lose and made another bet among themselves. The man went to the ground floor and looked around for her. She walked to the terrace when he spotted her. He went through the crowd and closed the curtain leading to the terrace. Suddenly, he heard a shout from a man and rushed to the scene. The girl shouted help as the man in front of her pulled out a small knife.

The rushing man pulled her from behind as he stopped the knife in the grip of his other hand. The woman was still in shock as the blood spilled from his hand. The attacker was taken aback and froze. He took the chance and punched him on his jaw, sending him flying backward and fainted. The woman was shaken and tears fell from her cheeks. He cursed internally. Now, he wanted to make her cry more. The pain seemed to be forgotten.

"I.... l'll call s-someone, wait here!"

She was about to run back but he pulled her hand. He didn't want to be away from her. He held her hand and squeezed it lightly to calm her nerves.

"I'm fine. Someone already saw what happened. They'll be here in a second."

Right on cue, few security guards came into the terrace and arrested the fainted man while the other brought him and the woman towards a room to treat his injury. She felt guilty as her tears kept streaming down, perhaps due to the alcohol in her system now she got more emotional. She just wanted to get some fresh air when that person approached her. He started to get closer and tried to touch her. When she pushed him away, he started to yell and threatened her with a knife. She got so scared, she froze but this guy saved her unhesitatingly. He got hurt because of her.

Her teary silver eyes were so beautiful. Her eyelashes sparkled with tears. Something about this person made him feel something.... Something he regretted so much. Something he could have changed but he didn't do anything. Now, he started to feel guilty seeing her tears. He raised his uninjured hand and wiped the tears. He smiled softly and whispered comfort to her.

"I'm going to be fine. It's not hurt at all. It's not your fault anyway. So, don't cry."

When she raised her head slowly, he felt someone had squeezed his heart. She had a perfect and beautiful pair of silvery gray eye. Her alluring lilac tinted lips parted slightly revealing her white teeth. His heart... It raced so much that he felt like he could get a heart attack at any moment. 'No! Don't think with your dick, Quartz! She just got attacked by a guy. You'll scare her! Calm yourself down first!'. He cursed himself while rubbing her cheek gently to soothe her tears.
