Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

Chapter 134

CLARA

"We need more drinks," Xavier mumbled to himself.

I just want to go home and sleep. "I'll go get it." Who feels sleepy in a club? I guess that's me... perhaps walking around can make me more active.

"Please do check on your friend who left hours ago to dance." He quipped.

Catching on to the sarcasm in his statement, I chuckled. "She'll be fine. Knowing Lyra, I am sure she already found a company."

"She's that quick huh?" He muttered in a judgemental tone and I glared at him. "What?!" He blurted out, returning my glare, "This is her first time being in Manhattan, isn't she scared of being hurt? missing? Abducted?"

"In a busy club?" I drawled out with an eye roll. "She's an adult Xavier, and stop being an ass."

I walked out of the private booth, closing the door softly behind me. I was already halfway to the bar when I realized I didn't even ask him his preference.

Opting to get the drink he was currently taking, I continued to make my way to the bar. "Can I get a bottle of Yamazaki please?"

The barman eyed me suspiciously. "What did you say, ma'am?”

Suddenly, a hand draped across my shoulder, and out of reflex, I shoved it away before turning to put a face to the hand.

For starters, the male cologne wasn't familiar.

Turning with the intention of scolding I met a familiar face who smiled at me apologetically. "I didn't mean to scare you." He quickly explained, "I sighted you from up there and had my suspicions it was you, so I came down to check."
