MEL POV
At this point, I was completely fucked up.
Charlotte and I had only been in the club for an hour, but we already had way too many shots of vodka; right now, Charlotte was making out with some guy in the corner, so I remained in my seat, bored as fuck, so I decided to call Leo.
“Hey baby what’s up? Are you having fun?” He asked.
“Oh, I’m having loads of fun here right now” I slurred followed by a hiccup.
” Melanie, I told you to be careful of what you drink, I’m coming to get you,” he said.
“No!” I exclaimed.
“I’m a big girl I can handle myself” That makes him chuckle through the phone.
“I’ll be there soon,” he said and hung up before I could protest any further
” Melanie!” Charlotte called out to me with a tall man standing next to her with his arm around her shoulder. “I’m going home. Do you want me to call you a cab, or are you staying?” She questioned and the man next to her grabbed her ass.
Pervert, she said
“Oh no I’ll stay here but thanks Charlotte have fun” I smirked and she winked at me walking away with the man.
Although I was a stripper my dancing wasn’t the best since I was drunk as fuck.
My head was spinning and I could barely see my surroundings, so was best to do other than to go dance on the dancefloor.
I started moving my hips to the rhythm of the music and tangling my hands in my hair, I probably looked like a mess to the people around me but I couldn’t care less.
“Hey sexy” A man in a deep voice said in my ear grabbing my hips but I stumbled away from him.
“Hey asshole” I slurred.
“I have a boyfriend if you should know” I argued shyly almost tripping over my own feet.
“I’m sure your boyfriend won’t mind,” the man said putting on a cocky smile gripping my wrist firmly, pulling me towards him.
“Hey! Get your fucking hands off me!” I yelled ripping my wrist away from his grip and stumbling backwards.
Just then Leo came out of nowhere colliding his fist with the guy’s face and knocking him to the ground, people gasps were heard throughout the club but Leo didn’t stop punching him.
He was kneeling on the dancefloor connecting his fists with the man’s face over and over again until the guy’s face was a bloody mess.
“Leo stop!” I screamed pulling Leo’s arm away and getting him to stop.
Yeah, one punch was fine since the guy grabbed me but this is just unnecessary.
“Leo please stop!” but he wouldn’t budge when I tried pulling him, my eyes darted to the guy’s ruined face.
My stomach erupted and I quickly rushed to the nearest bin and spilled my guts in there.
I’m not sure if the vomit is because of the amount of alcohol I had consumed or because I looked at the man’s disfigured and bloody face.
When I finished spilling my guts in the bin, a hand was placed on my lower back and I knew exactly whose hand it was.
“Stay the fuck away from me!” I yelled before I stormed through the door.
I caught a glimpse of blood splattered over Leo’s knuckles and even some on his white shirt.
At this point, my head ached too much to even process what just actually happened.
I stormed out of the club door and silently sobbed on the highway, tonight Leo scared me and God knows what he could have done if the man touched me on different parts of my body.
I understand he was trying to stand up for me but the way he just lost his shit frightened me.
I wiped my tears when his voice broke me from crying ” Melanie?” Leo spoke softly trying to grab my hand.
“Don’t even touch me Leo” I sobbed pulling my hand away from his reach.
“You could’ve killed him” I sniffed and he shook his head.
“I lost control, I couldn’t think straight Baby, I thought this was going to be another Liam situation” He sighed.
“Oh please don’t bother using that as an excuse” I laughed sarcastically “You almost beat that man to death you’re fucking crazy and you n-need help” I slurred.
He took his time processing my words and scanned my face.
“You’re drunk” he stated.
“Yeah no fucking shit asshole” I laughed hysterically placing my palm on the wall to stop myself from falling flat on my face.
“I’m taking you home,” Leo said wrapping his hand around my wrist.
“Let go of me!” I screamed trying to smack his hand away but the way he gripped my wrist tighter and his jaw clenched showed that he wasn’t in the mood to fight with me.
“Just do as I fucking say Melanie” He dragged me towards his car and eventually stopped trying to fight him.
He helped me into the car and climbed into his side gripping the wheel tightly.
The ride was silent but it wasn’t an awkward silence it was just a peaceful silence, Leo pulled up at the front of my house and turned his head towards me.
“I’m sorry for what I did” Leo muttered.
“You’re not sorry for what you did, you’re just sorry you upset me”
“That sounds right” He smirks.
“Ugh” I groaned trying to get out of the car away from him but he pulled me back to his arm.
“I can’t let you go knowing you hate me,” He said softly.
“I don’t hate you, you just scared me tonight Leo,” I said truthfully.
“I know” He bowed his head looking sorry for himself.
“I need a few days to think about things, I’ll come see you when I feel ready and when I feel not drunk,” I said smiling.
“Please don’t leave me” He pleaded and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
I would never leave Leo, I’m so in love with him way too much to do that.
” Leo, I’m not leaving you, I just need some space for a few days and you need some space too, maybe go to the gym and take your anger out on punching bags instead of people’s faces” I reasoned with him and he eventually nodded letting go of my wrist.
“I love you” He murmured pressing a gentle kiss to my arm.
“I love you too” I giggled getting out of the car and heading to the front door not looking back.
I knew he waited until I got inside before he drove off because I didn’t hear his car engine until I closed the front door behind me.
“Hi, honey how was your night?” My Mom asked walking towards me and I mentally groaned thinking back to everything that happened tonight.
“I gotta go to bed Mom or I’ll vomit all over your carpet i groaned and she just chuckled.
I headed upstairs and almost fell at one point before stumbled into my room, I wiped my makeup off with a makeup wipe and slipped my dress off leaving me in my panties and bra.
I unhook my bra and throw it to one side then wear the oversized t-shirt which Leo gave me one night and it smelt just like him.
I didn’t like being away from him but I needed time to think about things.
