Is this destiny?

Chapter 1139 - A Night Out (2)

~ San Antonio, The Cube nightclub ~

Jesse, Oni, Ron, Zula, Allen and Julius entered the nightclub without any problems. Security didn't even look at their IDs.

They got into a booth which Aiden reserved for them and ordered drinks. It is difficult to find non-alcoholic drinks, so they all ordered sparkling water.

The five underage kids maybe have IDs that show how they are 21+, but if Sarah and Aiden find out that they were drinking, they will be in trouble. It's not worth it.

And each of them remembers Sarah's words: "If you want to try alcohol, we can't stop you. But we ask that you try it at home and not in a crowded club or a random bar where all kinds of things can happen, and someone might take advantage of you…"

Ron and Zula didn't sit to drink. They headed to the dancefloor. Ron told Zula that he will teach her some moves, and they blended with the crowd perfectly. The two of them were shaking and swaying their limbs and trying out moves they saw from nearby dancers.

Zula was laughing and having the time of her life. Nightclubs are awesome!

Ron enjoyed seeing Zula in good mood. It's not his first time in such an environment, but he never had so much fun before... must be because of the girl who is looking at him like he is the only guy in the world.

"I want to dance!", Oni exclaimed.

Jesse gave her a 'no way' look. Doesn't she see all the couples kissing, and touching each other out there? Well not everyone was grabby, but that is what Jesse saw, alright? And that is not a place for a sixteen-year-old girl!

Oni pouted for few seconds before speaking: "I was NOT asking for a permission."

She stood up and Jesse grabbed her hand. "Where are you going?"

"To dance.", she yanked her hand out of his hold defiantly. "Sarah said that you should keep your eye on me, so… If you don't want to join, you can watch me dance from here!"

Jesse looked after Oni who stepped on the dancefloor and few seconds later, the view of her figure was obstructed by other dancers. Jesse pinched the roof of his nose. He does NOT like to dance in a nightclub and has no intention to do so. But how can he watch over Oni if he does not go there?

Jesse looked at Allen and Julius. "Do any of you want to dance and keep an eye on Oni?"

Allen and Julius exchanged glances and then shook their heads, rejecting Jesse's offer. They are not crazy to meddle in-between Oni and Jesse.

"You go after her. We will stay to make sure no one takes our booth.", Allen told Jesse.

Jesse sighed and went after Oni.

Jesse's face darkened when he saw a young man hitting on Oni. She was wiggling her hips and didn't pay attention to the man's hand which was almost on her waist when Jesse grabbed his wrist.

"Ah, you decided to join?", Oni teased Jesse.

Jesse leaned close to Oni. "Be a good girl and return to the booth."

"No way!", Oni rejected him. "I'm in a nightclub, having fun. Sitting there is no fun!"

Jesse forced a smile. "It's fun in the booth as well."

Oni pursed her lips. "It's fun for couples and old people. I'm a single sixteen-year-old girl and I want to dance!"

Jesse's smile faded. "So now you know that you are sixteen? How about you do what sixteen-year-olds do at this time?"

"Dance?", Oni asked with a victorious smile.

"Sleep."

Oni looked at Jesse who approached her slowly and she realized that he is not kidding. "You wouldn't dare!"

Jesse scooped Oni in his arms and carried her outside, princess style, ignoring her protests.

"Stop making noise, or I will knock you out.", Jesse told Oni when they were close to the exit.

Somehow, Oni knew that he is not joking. Well, she didn't dance much, but she ended up being carried away by Jesse. How she sees it, the evening was a success. She relaxed and leaned her head on his firm chest. A smile creeped on her face, 'yes, it is definitely a success…'.

Ron, Zula, Allen and Julius heard Jesse's voice in their ear studs: "Oni is tired, I'm taking her to the hotel to sleep. I will not come back to the club."

Ron and Zula didn't care much.

Allen and Julius exchanged glances.

"Remind me not to go against Jesse.", Allen told Julius through laugh.

After some time, Ron and Zula returned to the booth to work on their drinks.

"Are you two going to dance?", Ron asked Allen and Julius.

The two boys shook their heads in response.

"Too crowded.", Allen explained.

"And we need girls to dance.", Julius added. "All of them are much older for my taste."

Well, he is not wrong. They are seventeen, and the youngest lady available (if she has the real ID) is twenty one, so… four years difference. For boys who are in such a hectic environment for the first time, all this is too much. And their sleek styling and fake IDs can't hide their lack of experience (and courage).

"We are happy to watch.", Allen said with a small smile.

Ron and Zula didn't think much about it. They finished their drinks and went back to the dancefloor. The night is young!

…

Outside…

Jesse got Oni into the cab. He didn't want to use the limousine, in case other four decide to return.

"I'm hungry…", Oni whined.

"You didn't look hungry on the dancefloor.", Jesse said dryly.

"Why are you in a bad mood?", Oni asked with a frown. Well, she is in a bad mood also because Jesse is not holding her anymore. She didn't know that he is so strong and muscular. He carried like she has no weight at all! Very manly.

"Your training is useless. That man was almost touching you and you didn't even notice.", Jesse scolded her.

"Jealous?", Oni asked while a smirk sneaked on her face.

Jesse narrowed his eyes at Oni. "Don't think too highly of yourself."

"Hmph! If you are not jealous, why didn't you let me be? I was having fun. Even if he touched me, what could happen?"

"You should not have fun with random men. It can turn ugly.", Jesse warned her.

"Well… men who are not random are not interested in anything fun. So, I wanted to have fun by myself. The fact that someone else joined is not my problem."

"If you are not careful, it could become your problem." Jesse was losing his patience. Why is this usually obedient and easy-going girl causing trouble tonight?

"Sometimes I don't get you…", Oni didn't finish her sentence. She looked through the window and sighed.

Jesse felt guilty. She is sixteen, and it's normal to want to have fun at that age. Why did he act like that? Did he really expect a sixteen-year-old girl to sit in the booth and sip sparkling water quietly while booming music and dancing people surround them? Jesse could not justify his behavior. He told himself that he has no right to spoil her night out just because he does not feel like doing something.

"Do you want to go to a restaurant?", Jesse offered. "The one on the third floor is open twenty-four hours. We can get you something to eat."

Oni smiled brightly. "Sure."

She didn't care much about the nightclub. She wanted more time with Jesse, and her wish came true. The only thing better than a late night snack with Jesse is if he holds her again.

Jesse looked at her lit up face and sighed. Such a straightforward girl. Easy to please. He wanted to pat her head, but then he remembered that she does not like it. And he would ruin her hairstyle.
