Falling For The Biker - Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Sierra’s POV
They grabbed me, pulling me as hard as they could. I tried to struggle free from their grips, but they were stronger than I was. “Please, let me go,” I begged.
I did not know what they had planned, and it frightened me. I didn’t want to push this anymore. I should have stayed home, I knew that. This wasn’t the first time I could get hurt by these attacks.
The first was the car crash, which I was lucky to escape, but I doubted I would be able to escape whatever they had planned this time. “Let go,” I said.
“Help me!” I screamed, but then one of them covered my lips before another word could come out of my throat.
My vision was blurry with tears. They led me down the stairs and I expected someone… anyone to help me, but there was no one here. The corridors were empty, and it only became quieter when they led me through a dimly lit hallway.
The more I walked, the more exhausted I became from struggling. They were too much for me to handle. Just when I thought it was over, they opened a door and shoved me in. I stumbled forward, then did I hear the music and the chatters of the people around me.
I looked around. I was underneath the staircase, staring out at the guests. They all had smiles, oblivious to what was happening to me. I spotted Arthur; he was speaking with the couple.
He stepped away from them and was about to walk off when he was surrounded by ladies. They all looked breathtaking; their breasts were out in the open as they tried to get closer to him.
Arthur tried to step back, but they seemed determined. “See,” I heard Maria say beside me.
“That is Arthur,” she continued. “Look at their faces, look at their styles, their bodies. Do you know who they are? Two of them are B-list actresses. The other three are models. As much as they might not be very popular, they have a better chance than you do.”
I gripped my gown, trying my best to hold back my sob. “Listen, we don’t want to be a downer,” Leah said, but her face said something else — squeezed as she sized me up.
“We care about you,” Ruth joined in. “Arthur is not for one woman and he would never subject himself to that. You aren’t special. You are nothing and too low grade to be able to ever have anything serious with him.”
“Plus, he is taken,” Yvonne said. “I might not have him now, but I will and it will just be as easy as taking candy from a baby. It would hurt you more if you even bother to push any relationship with him,”
“They are a pack of wolves and you are nothing but unguarded meat that could easily be crushed. Note that,” Jessie said, and they all walked away, leaving me to watch Arthur from a distance.
He seemed to be trying to fight them off, but my brain was not registering any of it as a good thing. Maybe he was only doing that because they were not his type and did not find them attractive.
Those ladies were beautiful, but the entire room was filled with people way better and me– I was nothing compared to anyone in the room. I dragged my feet into the open area, my eyes never leaving Arthur.
Ian pulled him out of the circle of ladies, but it only led him to some other group of ladies. I grabbed a glass of wine from the side and emptied it. Holding down my liquor was a chore for me, but I did not care.
Just as he moved, I followed him with my eyes and took a few steps too. I needed a full view of him. I needed to see what he was and to move every feeling that I was not meant to have out of me.
I grabbed another glass of wine from a walking server and emptied it just like the first. Arthur pulled away from the ladies, heading for the stairs, but he got cornered again. His eyes kept roaming about, but the ladies were more interested in touching him.
He grabbed one of the ladies and led her to the stairs, but they didn’t climb. With another glass in hand, I watched them. I could not make out what they were talking about, but I could already guess it had something to do with fucking.
I felt another wave of tears rushing up my body, but I gulped a large chunk of my drink to push it down. Tears weren’t needed. This was the truth. Arthur looked over his shoulder, his eyes scanning the room, but then he turned his gaze back to the lady and they went upstairs.
He took one more look through the crowd and I turned around, letting the tears fall finally. What was I expecting? That he would care for me? I was too foolish. I should not have come here.
My eyes landed on five glasses of wine on a tray on the table I leaned on. Without hesitation, I took each of them, chugging them in minutes. I felt dizzy, drained and broken, but I didn’t stop drinking until the last glass was empty.
I decided to find Jackson. I needed him to take me home. He sure was going to laugh at me when he saw me, but I didn’t care right now. He was right anyway. Staggering forward, I tried to avoid as much people as possible but it was hard.
I asked someone, slurry but fortunately, the lady did not mind and told me he went upstairs. Slowly, I helped myself up the stairs. My head hurt, and so did my chest. I held my head, shutting my eyes, still walking.
Turning at a corner, I collided into something hard. I raised my head and his face filled my sight. A small smile spread across my face. “Arthur,” I slurred, holding his face in both my hands.
I staggered back, but he held me by the waist. “Why did you drink so much?” he asked.
I smiled, but then it disappeared, and I pushed him. “You…” I burped, the sting of the alcohol filling my throat and the smell of it filling my nostrils. “You have no right to question me,” I slurred.
I turned around. “I need Jackson. I need to go home,” I said, ready to walk away, but he grabbed me by the waist, leading me to the wall the next second.
“Let go,” I said sluggishly.
Arthur stared at me for a moment. “What happened?” his voice filled with concern.
He held my face as he studied me, a frown deepening between his brows. I held his gaze, my eyelids barely keeping my eyes open. Then, something consumed me. I wasn’t sure if it was the booze or my pain, but whatever it was, I went with it.
Damn the consequences!
