______________________________________________________________
Harry didnāt like coming to places like this.Ā
Music blared. Alcohol reeked. Drunk people shouted. His ears rang. Even tipsy, Harry hated clubs ā even this one, which advertises āerotic experiancesā on the website. In reality, it was a sex club with more clothes and fewer people fucking in front of you. It was a soft introduction to a real sex club.Ā
Harry only came because Niall begged him to. His girlfriend, Amelia, was dancing tonight. As impressive a performer as she was, it still felt weird watching your best mateās girl strip on stage. Let alone tuck a few bills into her waistband.Ā
āWhatās with the miserable look?ā Niall laughed, one arm lazily wrapped around Ameliaās waist.Ā
Harry swirled the three ice cubes in his whiskey glass. āTold you mānot the biggest fan of clubs.ā He quickly looked at Amelia. āNothing against you, of course.ā
āNo offense taken, Hā She giggles, spinning the straw in a fruity drink. āMost of us donāt like it either.Ā
āYou should introduce him to Es!ā Niall said, suddenly excited.Ā
Amelia beams. āYou are so smart! Theyāll love each other.ā She turned to Harry quickly, eyes sparkling with excitement. āSheās another dancer ā super sweet, hell of a performer, and likeā¦annoyingly hotā
Before Harry can protest or say no, Amelia pulls him out of his seat and toward the backstage hallway, chattering about Estella ā āor Es, or Essie, depending on the day.ā In all honesty, Harry wasnāt listening. The hallway spun slightly, the music falling behind them, and his anxiety growing ahead of him.Ā
Heād heard of Estella before. A friend of Niallās from uni. They fooled around a bit, supposedly before Amelia came around. Thatās all he knew.
Backstage, the energy was different. Glittery heels clicked past, the walls buzzed with a mix of cheap and expensive perfume and low voices. The two turn around a corner and Amelia knocked gently on a door.
āEssie? Iāve got someone for you to meet!ā
She stood in front of a floor-length mirror, lashes halfway on. She looked like velvet. Like a flickering flame. Like every dream Harry wished for but never admitted to having.Ā
āThis is Harry,ā Amelia smiles, a knowing look on her lips. What she knows? Harryās clueless. āYou twoā¦will get alone just fine.ā
Then, she was gone, the sound of the dressing room door clicking shut.Ā
āHi there,ā She extends a manicured hand. Soft pink nail polish with an almond shape, making Harry feel insecure about his chipping and awfully painted black polish. āIām Estella. Or Es. Or Essie.ā
Harry laughed nervously, taking her hand. āIām Harry. Or, H.ā
Her robe was black silk, trimmed with fluff. Her socks were pink and frilly, lace tickling her ankles. Her eyeshadow glittered like pink champagne. And Harryā¦he couldnāt stop staring.Ā
āYou wereā¦amazing tonight,ā he blurts, cheeks red once he realizes heās said his thoughts out loud.Ā
āThank you, Sweetheart.ā She smiled, sweet and lethal. āSoā¦whatās a quiet guy like you doing here?ā
Smiled. She's...smiling?Ā
Harry sat without a second thought when she tapped the seat beside her. āYou caught me,ā He laughs nervously. āThis isnāt...quite my scene. Niall dragged me here forā¦inspiration?ā He couldnāt keep his eyes off her. Maybe he was a little drunk, but the way her lips moved while she was talking was like a moth to a flame. He couldnāt stop watching.Ā
āInspiration for what exactly?ā Her brow quirked, a subtle look Harry wouldnāt have noticed if he wasnāt three glasses of whiskey in. He canāt take his eyes off her, the subtle sheen of her skin, the way her lashes reached her eyebrows, the sweet and defined point of her cupidās bow.
āUh⦠music. I write music.ā He nodded, offering a smile that was both sheepish and practiced. It was technically true, though he couldnāt help the flicker of disappointment that she didnāt seem to recognize him. Given her history with Niall, heād assumed she might.Ā
But whiskey always had a way of making him more vulnerable than he wanted to be.
