The girls had left their seats and were dancing along with Skire. Aselia was dancing with Irlana, they were completely lost in their world. Arimie and Amoris had their arms up in the air and were swaying to the rhythm of the loud music that blasted through the speakers.

Frila was the only one sitting but clapping to edge them on. Rubisha was whistling at the seductive moves Skire was throwing at them, his clothes littered in the space all around.

No one noticed when the cars arrived outside one by one and their worried gents hastily made their way to the front door. The booming music welcomed them as Zirius rapidly opened the front door with his key.

Xiran hurried inside and others filed in behind him. All of them stopped dead in their tracks at the sight that met them in the living room. The atmosphere was filled with a mix of whistling, laughter, and cheering. Their faces transitioned from worry to disbelief and then quickly to anger.

Xiran head almost burst like a mushroom cloud seeing his girlfriend intoxicated and fawning over a semi-naked man. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Rubisha was the first to see and sense them because she hadn’t been drinking and was facing the way they had entered. Silver’s scrutinizing gaze had her stopping with whistles and the smile on her face faltered to be replaced by a sheepish one.

Rumail was pursing his lips, he found it hilarious and knew the girls were going to be in trouble. Skire worked in one of his nightclubs. Rivan was shaking his head in utter bewilderment. While Zirius moved ahead and unplugged the speakers, shutting down the music so they would return to their senses.

All heads turned back and gasps filled the air at least from those who weren’t drunk. Frila scampered to her feet, looking flustered and extremely apologetic, her head bowed. Amoris had a nonchalant attitude because she knew Rumail didn’t care about these things. He ran a nightclub and this was a common occurrence, both of them regularly watched all kinds of strippers.

Irlana, Aselia and Arimie were too drunk, while Skire almost had a heart attack seeing so many men enter and most of them seemed threatening. He scurried off the table and began collecting his clothes in a hurry, all colour drained from his face and that playfulness and seductive gestures disappeared.

"We were worried sick for you guys. No one was picking up the phone and this is what you have been doing?" Xiran thundered and Frila flinched back, his stormy eyes shifting from Skire to Frila and then to Aselia.

Aselia watched him with an amused expression as Frila held her by her waist.

"And here comes the party crasher. Don’t be jealous Xiran if you can’t dance like him... I am sure Sklye will be more than happy to teach you," Aselia slurred, miss pronouncing Skire’s name and everyone had to hide their faces to not laugh out loud, except Rivan. He guffawed at his friend’s derision.

Xiran growled before asking:

"Whose idea was it?"

"Mine," Amoris calmly answered and Xiran opened his mouth but then closed it. He didn’t know what to say to her except helplessly stare and shake his head.

"Aselia! You are supposed to answer your phone, I was worried," he turned his attention back to his girlfriend.

"I was occupied with his dance. Come and dance with me. Skyle why did you stop?" She glanced around to look for the boy who was cowering in the corner and Xiran’s raging eyes followed pinning the poor guy with his gaze. If only looks could kill, Skire would be dead meat.

"Get out!" Xiran’s voice echoed loud and clear as he sent him a death stare. Skire needn’t be told twice, he grabbed his phone and was out of the room within seconds, running for his dear life. Irlana was giggling while Rubisha and Amoris scowled at Xiran.

"Seriously? There was no harm in having a little fun. It wasn’t like we were touching him or he was touching us. What’s wrong with strip dance? You need to chill out." Amoris was angry at him and alcohol wasn’t helping control the frustration she experienced.

"This all is new for her and I didn’t know that you guys would call a stripper or I would have told her. And she is already drunk, I don’t want any harm coming her way," Xiran stepped forward and pulled Aselia closer to him. Other guys had settled down enjoying the show that was about to go down.

"Coming from someone like you, this is so judgemental. Weren’t you like a playboy until her? You have done every mischief in the book but you are shielding her and not letting her have any fun. How is that fair?" Amoris challenged him, not liking his overprotective attitude. Aselia innocently stared at him with her rosy cheeks and repeated:

"Yessss, how is that fair? And you can’t even dance like that."

Xiran was speechless, while Frila wanted the ground to open and swallow her.

"Ouch!" Rivan sounded from behind him and Silver snickered, enjoying his torment at the hands of the girls whose party he had just crashed. The boys had tried to reassure him that the girls might have placed their phones on silent mode so they can have a girl’s night and not be interrupted. But Xiran insisted on coming here, so they were going to let him get shredded now.

"I was simply worried because she didn’t answer her phone," Xiran defended himself.

"You wanted to murder Skire, I could see it in your eyes. Besides she was with us and is more than capable of handling herself," Rubisha chimed in.

"You were jealous because she was ogling at another male, admit it," Amoris shook her head at him.

The alcohol in her system made her not back down. Rumail was begging her with his eyes to stop but she wasn’t paying him any attention, so he moved closer to her and began running her back, hoping she would stop fighting with Xiran.

Zirius had moved ahead and was holding Arimie, she rested her head on his chest as he slowly swayed her.

"Sorry, we crashed your party," he had seen how happily she was dancing when they had entered, just like his old Arimie before she was taken by Phantom.

"We are leaving," Xiran announced, tugging Aselia along, trying to avoid Amoris’s burning questions.

"So soon but the fun has just begun," Rivan teased, taking Irlana in his arms and affectionately kissing her head.

"Stay Xiran, don’t be so uptight. We understand she is your girlfriend but let her have these new experiences," Rubisha said before walking over to Silver who wrapped her in his muscular arms and whispered:

"You have been a naughty girl, did you drink?"

"Of course not, I was having fun, I wasn’t being reckless," she answered, staring into his deep blue eyes and he satisfyingly grinned at her.

Xiran threw a look around the room and found no one was freaking out like him. They seemed pretty relaxed having their girls in their arms, so he took a deep breath and replied:

"Fine, but stop turning me into a villain," he groaned before sitting down on the sofa with Aselia tucked under his arm.

"No one turned you into a villain but yourself," Rubisha laughed as Silver lovingly placed his hand on her belly. Xiran scowled at her remark but tried to remain calm.

Frila was grabbing drinks for everyone, seeing all the happy couples her heart pained with the remembrance of Carios. The moments they had shared began to play as a film’s reel in front of her eyes and she held back tears. Plastering a smile on her face she offered drinks to the men.

"Your hands have grown bigger," Aselia murmured to Xiran and he shot her an irate look. His heart had almost stopped when she or anyone else didn’t receive his calls. They didn’t understand the fear that grappled his heart, refusing to leave. He couldn’t help himself and in turn, he suffocated her and others.

"These big hands are going to do unimaginable things to you Leia. You will soon forget that Skyla even existed," he seductively taunted her making her blush a deeper shade of crimson.

Everyone eased out soon and drinking began, jokes and laughter followed and Skire was quickly forgotten. Rubisha and Silver shared the wonderful news of them about to become parents and everyone heartily congratulated them.

Zirius and Arimie discussed their wedding plans at full length and the conversation shifted to clothes, venue and food.

Xiran was finally content, knowing they had indeed made their world a safer place where they could fearlessly gather and simply have fun. The only person missing from their close-knit circle was Yurian and he made a mental note of inviting him next time.
