MELODY'S P.O.V

Throughout the ride Hunter and Daisy are silent. Because of the living room incident I'm extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed. To me, this ride is as awkward as it gets.

They don't tell me where we are going but I pray to God that Daisy don't leave me alone there. It's terrifying even to think if I'd be myself in a new place. I just want to end this night and go back to sleep in my bed. Looks like that's not happening. After nearly 20 minutes we stopped at a club. Not a regular club.

A MOTOR CYCLE CLUB.

It's then I remembered that Hunter is a MC club President.

Oh Noooooo!!!!!!!! I nearly hit him with a lamp. A freaking LAMP..... Shit!!! Melody, who do you think you are??? A COP.... Now I'm scared shitless. I hope he doesn't want to take revenge on me.

Hearing the door opened I quickly got out and stand beside Daisy.

Hunter walked infront of us looking through his cell not bothering to wait for us. Unlike before, his demeanor is stiff and has a dangerous aura around him. It screams power and authority, like a king. I think being a President to a club does that to you. When he entered inside leaving both of us, I turned to Daisy.

"You don't leave me here alone, right?" I asked frightening at the thought. 

"Ofcourse girl, I know this is your first time. Don't be scared, all are friendly here. I've got your back."

"Fine, just stick with me okay."

"Alright, Let's go."

As soon as we entered the club, my eyes are blinded by the lights and ears are bursted cause of the loud music. People around are dancing, kissing, drinking heavily, fighting.... Some are even vomiting.

Yuk!! Totally not my scene

Daisy waved at the two guys as they were coming to us. They both are handsome and dressed like Hunter, wearing black jackets and pants. MC club members. As they reached us one of them greeted Daisy.

" Wow Flower, I don't know you can clean up good."

"Shut up Tyson" she glared at him playfully.

The man whom I know now as Tyson smirked at her. But I can see the love in his eyes. Now I remember Daisy telling about him. They always bickering about everything. I also know  Daisy has a huge crush on him since forever. She said he is a huge flirt and player. That's stopping her from taking a step in relation. He turned to me.

"Hey there beautiful, Do you have a band aid?"

"Yeah! I have one. Do you want it?" I asked him taking it from my bag, handing to him. 

There's silence between them. Daisy is trying not to laugh, I can tell. Tyson is looking at me with  wide eyes and the other man looks at me like I've grown into a crown. Daisy threw her arms around my shoulders.

"That's Melody to you." she said laughing.

The man bursted out laughing, after he stopped, he patted me head appreciatively.

"I like you.... Name's Alec" he introduced himself.

"Melody"

"I know, Daisy talks about you always."

"What are the other things you carry in that bag, if you don't mind asking?" Tyson asked.

"Ummm..... pain killers, aspirin, band aids, notes, pen and a knife."

"Whoa... why do you need those?"

"For emergency. I mean you want a band aid now. Do you want it?"

They chuckled at me as I looked at them not knowing what's really happening.

Daisy looked at me.

"It's his famous pick up line, 'Do you have a bandaid cause I just scrapped my knee falling for you' " Daisy said mimicking Tyson.

"Hey, I don't sound like him" Tyson screamed.

"Yes, you do"

"No, I don't"

"Yes, you do"

"No, I don't"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Guys, guys... Let's not start again" Alec said.

"Melody, you said knife, why?" he asked.

"For safety" I said hoping he'd not exaggerate it.

Stupid, Idiot... How can you slip it like that. 

Alec looks at me thoughtfully dropping the subject. 

"Ok, now let's enjoy the party peopleeee" Tyson screamed raising his hand which holds a glass towards us. After sometime, both Alec and Tyson were gone leaving us. 

Daisy ordered a drink and the bartender asked about me. I normally don't drink alcohol and like to keep it that way. So I just ordered some water. After some time Daisy went to dance floor leaving me.

So much for having my back.

But at the same time, if she thought I'd be in trouble she doesn't leave me. So I assume that she trusts everyone here. I laughed watching at her tipsy dancing. Shaking my head at her, I continued to drink my water slowly.

"What do a beautiful women doing here all alone?" I hear a voice behind me.

Thinking he's talking to someone, I don't bother to turn around.

All of sudden, a hand touched my shoulder making me jump, frightening I turned only to look at a man in mid 20's. Maybe 26 or 27, I think. He has a pair of dark brown eyes and wearing a jacket just like others. He's looking good but has a dark aura around him. Even Hunter, Alec and Tyson are dangerous considering they're a part of MC club, they has a sense of comfort in them. Though I met them only this day, I feel like I can be free around them. But this man has nothing of it. He look ferocious, dreadful and like a fiend. His broad shoulders, 6 foot 3 inches frame, dark eyes, rough tattooed hands that look like he killed many with them, everything..... everything about him screams danger.

After living with him for 12 years, I can tell when people are danger. Now my instinct telling me to go away from this man.

I took a step back relieving his hands on me.

"I'm talking to you, Baby"

I frown at him calling me Baby. His voice sound hoarse and harsh.

"What?"

"I asked what are you doing here alone?"

"I'm not alone. Came with a friend."

"So, where is your friend?" he asked pressing the word friend.

"Dancing there" I pointed out dance floor.

"Then why are you not dancing?"

"I don't dance."

"Even if I asked you to" he smirked.

"Sorry, I can't dance"

"Your loss, Baby" he said while sitting next to me.

"Can you please not call me 'baby' "

"Why not?"

"I don't like it" And it reminds me of him.

"But I love it Baby " he smirked at me ordering the bartender for a vodka.

I frown at him, shifted uncomfortably in my seat, ready to leave. Just as I took a step he hold my hand tightly.

"You don't dance with me. Atleast let me buy you a drink."

"I'm sorry, but I don't drink."

"Then this could be your first. I can be your first." he said in a double meaning.

Now I'm scared as much as disgusted with him.

"No thanks" I said while trying to remove my hand from his grip.

"Come on Baby. Just a drink, nothing else" he yanked me suddenly making me fall towards him.

"Leave me" I said scarily looking around for any help. But all people are drowned in their work not bothering others.

"No harm in one drink, babe" he said tightening his grip. I wince and tears are forming in my eyes. I closed my eyes due to the pain. 

God.... Please help me.

"I think the lady wants to leave her, Marcus." said a familiar voice behind us.

Hunter.
