4 Pretty Enough

Camy had changed their destination from the graduation party to a club. Apparently her boyfriend, Theo, had decided to give them a treat since he couldn't make it in time for the graduation.

Camy and Theo started dating six months before graduation. Phina and Vienna knew him well, they had never seen him before though. Theo was the only thing Camy talked about, she kept promising them that they would see him soon and today happened to be their lucky day.

They got to the club in no time. It looked like a club for the rich and it was packed. They entered inside and Phina shouted over the loud music "How are we going to find your Theo?!"

Camy looked around for a while. "I see him!" And she led the way towards where a young man was sitting on a barstool at the bar. "Babe!" Camy called upon getting to him.

"Baby" the guy turned to her and wrapped her in a hug and gave her a kiss.

Vee sighed. This reminded her of Easton, but she needed to get over him, she would do any thing to get over him.

As if sensing that Vienna could be having Easton-thoughts, Camy released herself from Theo's arms and turned to Vee with an apologetic look. But Vienna shook her head at her, telling Camy that it was okay. She was fine.

"Babe, these are my best friends, Phina and Vienna, we call her Vee" Camy introduced. Phina face palmed herself. Did this girl have to force Theo to call Vienna a nickname. "Guys this is my boyfriend, Theo" she said looking at him with a smile.

They stared at each other for a second before Theo broke away from Camy's gaze. "Hi nice to meet you both" he shook their hands one after the other. Vee's hand was still in his when he turned to Leon. "And you are?"

"Oh this is-"

Before Camy could finish, Leon pulled Theo's hand from Vienna's and held it in a grip. "The name is Leon. Nice to meet you too." He said putting on a tight smile.

Theo smiled awkwardly and looked down as Leon wrapped his arms around Vienna's waist and brought her closer to him. "Oh, are you two together?" He asked

"We wish" Camy answered and sat down on a stool next to Theo.

Vienna could guess something wasn't right with Leon. The way he yanked Theo's hand away and he was still holding him. And now his arms were around her. She looked up at him, his dark eyes were blazing in anger.

Sigh...she really couldn't get enough of this guy 's attitude.

"Um, babe let's go sit somewhere more comfortable." Theo suggested. He slowly released himself from Leon's grip and took Camy's hand as he helped her down the stool and led the way.

Leon smiled and followed.

"Is it just me or is Leon acting weird right now?" Phina asked.

"I don't know what's wrong with him." Vee was about to follow when Phina held her back.

"Hey Vee you really don't like him do you?"

Knowing Phina, Vee knew she would ask Leon out herself. But she couldn't do anything. She was still mending a broken heart and she certainly didn't like Leon.

'Yeah right' her subconscious chipped in wiggling her eyebrows at her. She rolled her eyes and turned to Phina.

"Yes Phina I don't. Now let's go" they walked fast to catch up to their moving crew.

They sat down at a place that looked like it was kept for the VIPs. There were two large couches facing each other and a small rectangular table in the middle. Camy and Theo took one of the couch while the rest sat on the other.

Theo had ordered a bottle of champagne. "To a successful graduation and a new wonderful life ahead" he started once he got the bottle. He loosened the cork and removed it with a loud pop! Then he poured the wine into everyone's glasses.

"Cheers!" They all exclaimed clinking their glasses all together.

"So Theo where did you and Camy first meet?" Phina started a conversation.

Leon was looking pissed and sipping his wine while staring hard at someone. Vienna followed his line of sight. He was glaring at Theo.

"Hey" she hiccuped. Whoa just one glass and she was already getting tipsy. This had to be some strong wine Theo got.

Leon turned to her. A frown still on his face. Seeing him looking at her like that, Vienna couldn't help the giggles that burst out of her.

"Why... why are you looking like that?" She asked laughing softly.

"Are you drunk already Anna?" The frown was completely off his face and he was looking at her like a father about to punish his child who played in the mud.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa... whoa" she called tapping his shoulder as each word left her mouth. "I'm not drunk. I'm just... tipsy" she smiled.

She couldn't tell why she was though. She thought she had always had high resistance to alcohol. Sure she had a glass at Easton's graduation party and two more...more like half a bottle when she got home after having her heart shattered, but that usually wasn't enough to make her even a little bit tipsy. She remembered all the drinking competitions her and Easton had when they were in their own personal space. Dating that guy was one heck of fun. And suddenly she felt like crying. Geez Vienna! She screamed at herself.

"Uh, I'm going to use the bathroom" she said standing.

"Do you want me to follow you?" Leon asked.

"No it's fine. I'm fine" she said sniffing.

"Vee are you okay?" Phina asked trying to help her stand straight as she was already staggering slightly.

"I'm fine. Um where's the bathroom?"

"Back there to your left." Theo answered.

"Thanks" she said and staggered away with everyone staring at her in confusion.

"She had just one glass right?" Camy asked Leon who just shrugged and continued with his wine.

Vienna looked around as she went towards the bathroom. This definitely didn't look like where a toilet should be. There were broken bottles and cigarette sticks lying everywhere.

"Ugh who cares I have to pee" she said to herself and walked inside the bathroom towards a stall.

There was a yellow sign with the words UNDER CONSTRUCTION on it. And it was on every stall. What kind of club didn't even have a single stall free for their customers to use? What if someone wanted to go number 2?

She turned and faced the large broken mirror. She looked at herself closely as if observing another person. Her lips were chapped, her eyes had bags underneath and her face lacked color. Gosh did she really come out here like this. Thankfully she had a few make up in her purse so she got to work immediately.

Vienna normally didn't like wearing make up. Her normal get up was just lip balm or some lip gloss and mascara. She fortunately had powder with her and she set to making her eyes look bright again.

She remembered Easton saying that one of the reasons he liked her was because of her natural glow. Damn this Easton again! She closed her eyes and let out a sigh to calm herself. There was no way she would get over Easton if she kept remembering him at every little free moment she got.

She opened her eyes and stared at herself with a small smile. "At least I look pretty enough"

"You look very pretty Vienna." a voice called.

She turned and saw it was Theo.

"Sorry I think I heard you wrongly when you gave me the directions to where the bathroom was. All these stalls are out of order."

"No Vienna, you didn't" Theo said as he took small steps towards her. "You're right where I want you to be"

Vienna smiled at him. "Okay. Maybe you too were wrong then." She packed her stuff into her purse and turned to leave but Theo was already standing right infront of her.

She moved back to give them some space but her bottom was already at the sink. "Hey, um, could you-"

"You know I happen to think you are very good looking..." he said staring down at her and then he looked her in the face and brought his hand to remove some strands of her hair that were covering her eyes. "Vienna" he whispered.

"Back off." Vee pushed him and made her way to the door but Theo was quick to hold her back and in one second she was in his arms with her breasts pushing up his chest and his arm around her waist.

"You look... fantastic" he whispered into her ear.

Vee tried to free herself from his hold but she was just too weak again. She suddenly started to feel light headed and wanting to throw up. "Theo back off" she pushed him again but it was futile. He just wasn't moving at all.

"Theo!" She groaned. She made an attempt to stagger and fall but he was quick to secure her back in his arms.

"I like the way you say my name Vienna. Now what should I call you, Vee... or Vienna?" He smiled and tilted her face to meet his.

Theo's lips were inching closer to Vee's each passing second. No this dude was not about to kiss her! What! Her mind was screaming at her to push him and run but her body failed her. All the stress from graduation to partying to the scene of Easton and Riley in his bed to driving above the speed limit home to crying and drinking and now here. Everything had really taken a toll on her and she just wanted to be relieved from it all. She needed to rest.

But this guy's lips were coming closer and her limbs had failed her. What was she going to do? She suddenly felt like gagging. Yes! She was going to throw up in this jerk's face. That didn't sound like something to be happy about–throwing up–but what could she do? She wanted to be out of this mess.

"Theo let go." She tried to persuade him one more time before she released this cruel punishment on him but he didn't seem to listen. Okay...here goes.

"I think she just said to let go". A voice called with authority.

And just like that Theo was pulled forcefully from her and she threw up right on her saviour.

"Fuck!" The voice cursed.

And then Vee slumped onto the ground but the savior was quick to grab her before her head touched the floor.
