[Emilia] Everybody in the Club Gettin' Typsy

[lukesummitt]

The club was considerably close to the hotel, much closer than Luke had imagined. But then again, Valkyrie kids always got the best, so they could afford the luxury hotels close to everything. It had only been a short walk down from the hotel in which Luke and Emilia engaged in light conversation, mostly talking about what they would encounter once they reached the club. Looking down at her with a small smile, Luke flashed his I.D to the bouncer, and then escorted her inside. Most of the times at clubs like these they didn’t check I.D’s of girls heavily, if at all, and this one was no exception. The bouncer was typical; tall, bald, wearing all black, and looked like he could beat the shit out of him, but Luke remained confident as he passed him. He had had his fake ID for about a year and half, and it never failed him. It also helped that he looked around 21 anyways, but the I.D. looked real.

Catching many glances from girls as he walked in and through the club, Luke smirked and continued walking. He did wink at one girl who was extremely hott, but she looked pretty easy. Unlike most people’s belief, Luke wasn’t one for easy girls. He could understand why some guys would be, and he would never completely deny a girl, but he had very little interest in them. Why would he? He was able to get the higher quality girls too, it just took a little longer…but never too long. Common, he was Luke Summitt.

Placing his hand gently on Emilia’s back, he led her through the crowds and over to the bar. Ordering a round of shots and two beers, he turned to her, ”You want anything?” a smile on his face, ”Just kidding”. He was planning on drink that much, but he had obviously ordered for her. ”And yes, I really think you look beautiful tonight” he admitted locking eyes with hers. He had avoided answering the question before, but he couldn’t deny his subtle attraction to her, ”and not because, yeah, I helped a lot. I’m saying it because it’s true” And he knew that tons of other guys around the bar probably thought so too. Damn. What if some guy started to hit on her? He couldn’t get protective. Half of the reason he offered to help her out was so she could meet guys and be a normal teenage girl, he couldn’t ruin that by being an ass and scaring away every guy that came near her, right?

Shaking the thoughts out of his head, Luke picked up two of the shots the bartender had served him. ”Bottoms up” he stated before downing them skillfully, one after the other, cringing only slightly. After all, he was Luke Summit-drinking was like second nature to him.

Although they had talked about it a few times, Emilia found herself holding her breath as she and Luke approached the club, and he flashed his fake I.D. to the bouncer. She allowed herself to breathe again though as they stepped through the door and into the blare of music playing. As Luke lead her through the crowd with a hand on her back, her curious eyes flitted from person to person, catching a numerous amount of people's eyes. Emilia found herself edging towards Luke a little more as a couple date-less guys winked at her and smiled, but smiled a little herself and sat down as he did.

Laughing lightly as he asked her if she wanted anything, she shook her head. Yeah, because she was really likely to know what to get. Her laugh cut short though as Luke said that he really did think she looked beautiful; one of the few things she'd ever heard in her life. As they had walked down the streets before entering the club, she had almost wanted to press him on one of her original questions, but hadn't upon better judgement. "Well um...Thanks." She said, as quiet as she could while he could still hear her. "And I'm glad you think so."

Emilia looked down at the bar counter, fiddling with her freshly painted nails a little. As the bartender brought Luke his shots and a couple beers, Emilia took one of the bottles tentitavely and held it with an almost shaking hand. Well, this was it. Her big moment. Taking a slow breath, Emilia brought the bottle to her lips, taking a small sip and wincing. The taste was a little bitter, and burned slightly as it ran down her throat. She supposed she might get used to it eventually, but for now, she set the bottle back on the counter. "Shit..." She said with a small laugh. "Can you really get used to that stuff?"

[lukesummitt]

Luke just gave a shy smile and looked around a little after he complimented her and heard her reaction. He wasn’t used to complimenting people so innocently. Usually he only told a girls, besides Amanda, that she looked good if he had plans on sleeping with her that night, or something of the sort. And usually they did look good because, well, Luke only slept with the best. Of course. However, with Emilia, it was much different. He wasn’t planning on sleeping her, oh god no. It wasn’t because he wasn’t attracted to her, that was the reason he got in the fight with Kelsey, he did. Because she was a virgin, he didn’t want to be the guy that took that away from. He knew how he was, and he knew that he would break her heart. He wanted her first time to be something special, and not just physical action with a sex-crazed guy such as himself. But then again, no guy that he knew would pass his test for her, so it was complicated.

Luke laughed slightly at her reaction to the beer. Aww, how cute. He picked up one of his beers and chugged half of it down, and turned back to her. ”Yeah” he chuckled a little, ”trust me, you can” he took another sip, but ended up finishing it off. ”sometimes you gotta drink it fast…faster results” a smirk played on his lips as he looked at his empty glasses. When Luke went out drinking, he got down to business, and fast. Ordering a few more beers, he turned his back to the bar leaning against it. ”You much of a dancer?” he turned to her raising an eyebrow. Not many people knew that he danced, but Luke was a very good dancer. However, dancing was an area that often got him in trouble when it came to girls. Let’s just say he was a very sexual dancer, and when he started really dancing with a girl, he absolutely had to have her afterwards. He didn’t necessarily want that with Emilia, but it would have been interesting to see her answer to the question.

As he sat there, his mind skipped over to Kelsey, and the fight they had. He couldn’t help but feel extremely guilty for going out even after she had expressed how uncomfortable she felt with it, and they had gotten in a huge fight. What an asshole! He had just broken up with his girlfriend, and now he was going out drinking with another girl? But then again, Kelsey was the one who said she didn’t care what he did. She was probably out dancing and grinding with some other guy right now...right? God, Luke prayed that she wasn’t, and if she was, he’d like to beat the shit out of whoever dared to put their hands on his...ex-girlfriend. Shit. Part of his wanted to return to the hotel and make-up with her, but part of him wanted to stay with Emilia who was gorgeous and sweet and a bunch of other things that Luke couldn’t put his finger on. Whatever. He picked up another bottle, taking a sip, and turned to her waiting as she replied.

Emilia looked around the club, letting herself loosen up a little as she took a slightly larger drink of the beer on the counter. It still had a bitter taste to it, but it definitely wasn’t as bad as the first drink. Maybe that’s what happened with a lot of things in her life. The first sip was bitter and frightening, so she ran at first sight. But now she was sitting in a bar with Luke Summitt, who was practically Valkyrie’s number one player, and things didn’t seem so scary. In fact, she was beginning to understand why it was that many of Valkyrie’s students went off to party on a regular basis. The music, the dancing, and the totally hot guys. It was all very appealing.

“I’ll take your word for that one.” Emilia said with a laugh, taking another large drink. Before she knew it, her first bottle was empty, and she’d started on her second. Telling herself to slow down a little, she reduced herself to sipping again. “Me? Dance?” She said, laughing at herself. She’d tried dancing a few times in her life, and it had come out in an extremely hilarious, but horrible experience. “No. Not really. But I would definitely watch if you went out to dance.” It might be an interesting thing to watch, considering he seemed like he’d been here a hell of a lot in his life.

[lukesummitt]

Nah, Luke wasn't drunk yet, but he could definitely feel himself loosening up, and starting to care less and less about what was going in his life. Well, he still cared about Emilia, and he was still praying that he would walk in on Joey and Amanda having sex in the hotel room, but everything else seemed to be much less important. The more time that passed, the more Luke felt the shots hit him, one by one, making it much harder to control his thoughts, and actions. He could still speak fairly well considering he'd mastered drunk speaking by going to school still drunk a few times, but he could even feel that slowly disapearing.

Luke frowned a little at her response to dancing. She would watch? How weird would that be? She would sit there and watch while he went out and grinded with some random girl? That wasn't going to work out."Ohh common Emiliaa" he turned towards her with a goofy grin, "dance with mee". He looked over towards the dance floor, and it looked pretty far away. He didn't want to have to go all the way over there just to dance with her. He wanted to touch her, hold her, and be with her right then.

Getting out of his seat, he took her hand and lifted her out of her seat and pulled her closer. Luckily, it was a slow song, so he wrapped his arms around her waist and swayed with her from side to side. God did he like having her close to him, her small body wrapped in his arms. "See, it's not so bad" he said softly into her ear, resisting the urge to kiss her right then.

Something was different. Emilia couldn't quite tell what, but she just felt...Odd. She wasn't so tense as she had been upon arriving at the club; in fact, her mind was almost in a fog. It was a little scary at first, but she got more used to it as she took a few more drinks of her beer. So this was what being tipsy was like. The world looked different from the eyes of someone who'd just had their first beer ever. Brighter, more vibrant, and definately more exciting.

Emilia felt her face turn a little redder as Luke pulled her out of her seat, then close to him. "Fiiiiine. If I have to." she said with a small, if not slightly nervous laugh. If she had thought about it for a moment, she might have realized that this was the closest she'd ever been to a guy. She'd always been far too busy with her reading to go to any school dances. Not that anyone had ever asked her to one anyways. But strangely, it was nce to be this close to someone. So slowly, Emilia found herself wrapping her arms around Luke's neck, allowing herself to sway back and forth with him in time to the music.

"I...Guess not." She said quietly back to him, getting a little shaky at how close he actually was. It was getting increasingly difficult to remember that he had a girlfriend, and it would be horribly wrong of her to kiss him right then. Her mind couldn't help but drift over the thought though, which only ended up making her face turn a little more red. Thank god he was partially drunk and the lights were dim, otherwise she might be completely embarrased at her blush. "And thanks for bringing me here, Luke. I'm having a great time."

[lukesummitt]

Final thoughts of Kelsey seemed to be leaving his mind as future thoughts of Emilia seemed to be entering. Well, for Luke the future consisted of the remainder of the night. When would he talk to Kelsey again? Who knew. Maybe the next morning she would have realized how stupid she had been being, and then after she apologized he would, but at the time he wasn't too worried about it. He was a beautiful girl in his arms, and god, so much alcohol running through his veins it was amazing. This was exactly why Luke came to Vegas-to get drunk and party. Not necessarily break up with his girlfriend, but in his opinion, at the moment, that was her fault.

As the song progressed, Luke brought Emilia closer to him, happy that she was warming up to him by wrapping her arms around his neck. "I told you" he smirked slightly as she admitted that he was right and it wasn't as hard as she imagined. Had it been a fast song, things probably would have been different, but for the time being everything was going smoothly. He smiled when she thanked him for bringing her out to the club. It was a place she probably had never been before, and he was glad that he was able to show her a good time in a new atmosphere. "No problem" he let a small pause pass between his words before admitting, "I'm having a great time too".

As another moment of silence passed between them he could feel the tension build up inside of him to kiss her. No, Luke Summitt wasn't nervous, he just felt a slight wave of guilt pass over him. Was he really going to run his usual tricks on this poor innocent girl? It didn't really seem like a trick or a ploy to him though, he jus really really wanted to kiss her. He didn't see any real future between them, and that might fuck their friendship over in the long run, but he would take his chances. Casually leaning in, Luke pressed his lips against hers lightly in a kiss. He wasn't too scared of rejection seeing that he never got rejected by anybody, but he was scared that he would hurt her feelings in the long. That however didn't stop him as he continued to kiss her slowly sliding his hands down from her waist lower to her hips.

Emilia smiled, about to say something in return to him. But suddenly, the softest touch of his lips on hers made her take in a sharp breath through her nose. Her heart thrust into a fast beat, making her face turn even more red. To her own surprise, she didn’t pull away from him, but moved closer, so that her entire body barely touched his own. Emilia had stopped swaying to the beat of the music that pulsed around them, and instead concentrated on keeping her knees locked so that she remained standing. Her thoughts briefly went over to Kelsey, knowing that she was his girlfriend, but if she still was, then why had he kissed her? Although Luke moved from girl to girl frequently, she doubted he was that low.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Across the club, Ben sat by himself, not drinking or even seeming to enjoy himself much. He was dressed in a casual fashion, sporting a black button up shirt and a pair of rather plain jeans. In truth, he had followed his sister here, knowing that she was going to go out with Luke Summitt. Just the name made his blood feel like it was going to boil. He’d lost sight of them a moment ago, but knew that they hadn’t left yet. After all, there was only one door, and he was sitting next to it.

Crossing his arms, Ben tilted his head to peer through the crowd, looking for his sister. Spotting them dancing, he stood slowly with a small smile. To him, Emilia seemed a little uncomfortable as Luke put his arms around her. He knew that Emilia never did like dancing, and just because Luke Summitt was the one dancing with her wouldn’t change that. He stiffened a little though, as his sister moved a little closer, seeming to get into the music.

And then, Luke kissed her.

[lukesummitt]

Luke had seduced many girls in his day, and both he and everybody he knew were aware of the fact. Either girls were attracted to him physically and immediately wanted in, or he was able to sweet talk them and eventually got what he wanted. Luke always got what he wanted. And, at that moment, Emilia was who he had his sights set on. Well, he had more than his sights set one her; he had his hands hugging her hips, his lips pressed against hers, and soon his whole body. As the song blended with a much faster song, the movements of his lips began to pick up tempo too. What used to seem to be slow and heartfelt kisses turned to faster and much more lustful ones. Afterall, that was who Luke was, a boy just looking for lust.

Parting his lips from hers, he moved them closer to her ear whispering, "I broke up with Kelsey you know" his lips starting to kiss her neck. Now that Luke was drunk and getting some action, he more freely told her what had been bugging him before. He hoped that by telling her it would help her abandon and inhibitions she might have had against hooking up with him. As he made his way down her neck and back up again, his hands made their way up from her hips, slipping under the end of her shirt and resting on her sides. Nah, Luke wasn't going to try to go any further with his hands at the moment, he just wanted to feel her bare skin.

"It turns out" he whispered into her ear once more, "that I like girls named Emilia much more" a smirk pursued his lips at he placed them against hers once more. God, what a charmer that Luke Summitt was.

[krueger]

Emilia let herself relax slowly as his kisses got faster with the song. Being slightly inexperienced, she couldn’t quite put her finger on what made them different than before, but something sure as hell was different. It made her heart stop and then move faster than ever. It was a new feeling, but it was one she loved. She’d only been kissed once or twice before in her life, but she did have to say that he was an entirely better kisser than the last guy. She was just glad that Ben wasn’t around to see this; he’d have a fit.

"I broke up with Kelsey you know"

The sentence, as short as it was, did make her feel better about the whole thing. Had she been entirely sober, she might have questioned the statement, but now, she couldn’t muster up the want or the breath to say anything back to him. Emilia stepped back slowly so that her back was against a nearby wall. This not only made her able to stand up better, but was entirely more comfortable. The smooth touch of his fingers on her skin made Emilia shiver, especially after he whispered to her again. "Y-you do?" She whispered kissing his neck lightly before he moved back to kissing her lips.

--------------------------------------------

Ben was shocked at his sister’s actions. Could this really have been the sister who, just a few weeks before, hadn’t even talked to Luke Summitt, let alone kiss him? Not only was he mad at Emilia, but he was furious at Luke. Besides, Luke was the only one he could potentially beat the shit out of. Although, Luke was a few inches taller, and entirely more athletic than Ben had ever been, he had the force of adrenalin and the effect of surprise on his side. With Luke so preoccupied whispering to Emilia, he’d never see Ben coming.

So, he strode purposefully across the dance floor, now and again having to shoulder past a few people. His mind was set though, even if he wasn’t thinking properly. His mind seemed to have shut down as soon as he’d clenched his hands into fists. He wasn’t thinking about the fact that his sister was happy, only that Luke was getting to her, and it was Ben’s job to protect Emilia against anything potentially harmful.

Which was why, when he reached them, Ben grabbed a fistful of Luke’s shirt, pulling him hard off Emilia. Spinning him around, Ben launched a hard and well aimed punch at the side of the Summitt boy’s face.

[lukesummitt]

"mmhm" he mummbled through his kiss. Did he like Emilia? He hadn't really thought through that one yet, but he he definitely "liked" her at that moment. Her kisses, her body, her innocence...it all just seemed right at the moment. But, then again, Luke was drunk and getting over a pretty tough break up, so just about anybody would seem 'right' at the moment.

All of a sudden Luke felt something pull him off of Emilia and, before he could catch his balance, punch him right on the side of the face. "Fuck". Needless to say, Luke was cuaght extremely off gaurd. Who was this kid? As he straitened up, he looked the kii strait in the face, and figuered out who he was. He was the brother, or the "twin". Whatever. Whoever he was, he was trying to ruin his night and momentarily embarass Luke. That wasn't going to happen. Scanning him with his eyes, Luke smirked as as took a step forward. This kid was smaller than kid, less muscular than him, and much less drunk than him-whatever his name was didn't stand a chance.

Standing in front of Emilia to block her from the fighting, Luke shook his head, "You probably think your hott shit right now, huh?" he rubbed his jaw a little. Yeah, the punch hurt, but that was only because he was caught off guard. "I know your probably mad that your sister likes me more than you and all, but your gonna have to get over that shit" he took a step forward and pushed Ben back, "and I'm not even mad at you or anything, 'cause, I have a sister too" he wound up and forcefully punched ben right in the eye, "but trying to fight me was a mistake". Luke didn't consider himself much of a 'fighter', but when he did get into fights he sure found it amusing when he could beat the shit out of the other.

[/blockquote][/color]

[krueger]

Emilia let out a small gasp as Luke was torn from her, wondering what happened. Standing on toe, she looked over Luke’s shoulder as he cursed. Her eyes widened as she saw her own brother take a swing at Luke, even though he’d stepped in front of her to keep her back from the fight. “Ben! Stop!” She said loudly over the music, trying to get past Luke and to her brother.

Ben glared up at Luke. It was only a few inches, but he felt the effect got through. “At least you know what you look like now.” He sneered. “Because apparently you think you’re pretty damn hot all the time. Stepping from girl to girl like they’re nothing.” Ben shook his head in contempt. “What were you going to do with my sister, huh tough guy?” He snapped. “Get in her pants and then leave?” Ben staggered as Luke shoved him, but stepped back again, reaching up to shove Luke’s shoulders.

“And who gives a damn if you have a sister. I hear she’s a whore like you anyways.” Ben winced as Luke punched him, staggering back a few steps. Shaking his head, he continued. “Besides that, Luke,” he sneered the name, putting every ounce of his hatred for the senior into the word. “I’m fairly certain that because you’re drunk, this fight won’t go so well for you.” Swinging his fist again, Ben took a good aim at Luke’s stomach.

To his surprise though, Luke stepped to the side. The momentum that Ben had going though made him unable to stop, which launched his fist into Emilia’s stomach instead. The twin’s eyes widened simultaneously, and Emilia sucked in a gasping breath, wrapping her hands over her stomach. Ben staggered back as if Luke had just punched him harder than before, shaking his head slowly, shocked at what he’d done. “E-Emilia?” He asked quietly, not sure of what to do next.

[lukesummitt]

Luke knew that he wasn't popular with everybody, but god, this kid hated him. He had just figuered that those who didn't know him, although and extremely small amount, just didn't know him and that was why they didn't like him. It had never really occured to him that people hated him, especially those he'd never actually talked to before. "Yo, what I fuckin do with your sister is none of your business" he said frowning while he watched Ben recover from the push Luke had given him.

Oh no he didn't. Did this kid really just call his sister a whore? Wow, he had some fucking nerve. "Wooow kid" he shook his head in shook at the words pouring out his mouth, "you're fuckin done". At first Luke was just planning on punching him that one time as payback, but Ben obviously didn't see Luke's huge physical advantage-he wanted tp keep going. And that comment about Amanda definitely earned him another few rounds of punches.

Yeah, Luke was pretty drunk, but as he stood in front of Ben he saw the look in his eye warning him another punch was coming. Some sort of intuition or something. Moving out of the way of Ben's punch, his mouth dropped as the boy punched his sister right in the stomach forcefully. "Oh shit!" his focus then turned back to ben as he watched his reaction. "Wow, good one buddy" he said smuggly walking up close to him so he was talking face to face, "I believe you can fucking leave now, you've done enough" he pushed him back a little, "and I think what you've done is a little worse than me loving and leaving".

Turning back to Emilia, Luke immediately felt guilty. God, he just fuck this night up. First he broke up with Kelsey, and then he tries to hook up with a much younger girl which results in her getting punch by her brother? Luke felt horrible about what happened to Emilia, but for some strange reason he couldn't get his mind off of Kelsey. What was she doing now? Was she crying over him? Was she out at the club partying it up? Was she gaving more fun without him than she would have had with him?

"Fuck...this was a mistake" he mummbled to himself running his hand over his face.

[/blockquote][/color]

[krueger]

Ben hardly heard what Luke said next, panic was running through his mind like a disease. His mission was to protect his sister, and he’d ended up hurting her both physically and emotionally more than Luke could have ever done. He raked a finger through his hair, and touched his eye gingerly for a moment. It was already starting to bruise. Ben shook his head slowly, Luke’s words catching up to him. “Just shut up!” He yelled at Luke, still completely pissed off at him.

Well this was turning out to be a great night. He hadn’t even wanted to go on this trip. And if he hadn’t, this might have never happened. He knew that he should have just stayed home. Guilt tore away all remains of anger as quick as a heartbeat, and suddenly it felt as if Ben had just gotten knocked flat on his ass. He couldn’t breathe, could hardly stand, and just wanted to bolt. To his surprise, tears started to well up in his eyes as he reached for his gasping sister, who had slid to the floor. “Emilia, come on. We have to get you out of here.” Ben took hold of her arm near the elbow, trying to get her on her feet.

“Get…The fuck…Out of here.” Emilia breathed, staying firmly on the ground. Her face was red and streaked with the damp remains of tears that still fell. Her breathing had almost turned to normal, if it weren’t for the sobs from her tears. Her chest burned painfully, her eyes turning hard as stone as she stared up at her brother. Somewhere in her mind, she registered that he was almost in tears himself, but didn’t really feel the need to do anything about it.

Just barely, she heard Luke’s words. Emilia wasn’t exactly sure about what he’d said, but knew the word ‘mistake’ was thrown in there somewhere. Suddenly, she wanted nothing more than to be alone. If her ambition hadn’t gotten the best of her, and if she hadn’t wished so much to be different than she was, then she wouldn’t be here now, curled up on the floor of a club in Las Vegas. She would be at home, curled up with a good book or something. But no, here she was, half drunk and totally confused. Getting shakily to her feet, Emilia stared them both down from her position a few inches under them. “Both of you…Just…Get out of here and leave me the hell alone.”

Ben didn’t wait another minute. He didn’t want to meet up with Luke any time soon. Turning quickly, he sprinted out the door. To where, he didn’t know.

[lukesummitt]

Luke watched in sympathy as Ben reached out to Emilia and tried to get her out of the club and back to somewhere she could rest and be safe. God, for a guy who just tried to beat the shit of him, Luke felt really sorry Ben. All he was trying to do was help and protect his sister from making a mistake, and now he probably ruined their strong relationship for just trying to do the right thing. Luke knew how it felt to try to protect his sister. He tried to save Amanda from making the wrong decision all the time, and whenever she made once Luke felt it as a personal failure. However, as they got older Luke learned to trust Amanda more that she would be able to make her own decisions. It was hard, yes, but it was just something he had to do.

He felt like shit as he watched Ben get rejected by her, and then turned to leave and bolt out of the club. He knew she wanted him to leave, but Luke wasn't going to-not just yet. This was all of his fault. He was the one who was basically forcing herself to change, maybe a little faster than he should have. He was the one who was about to take advantage of her, and he was the one with the horrible reputation that Ben hated so much and felt he had to protect his sister from. Again and again Luke's reputation seemed to be hurting him. That's one of the main reasons he wanted to go out with Kelsey in first place-to become more mature and shed his play by image. Of course, the fact that he thought she was pregnant played into it a lot.

"Emilia" Luke kept his voice low as he crouched down infront of her, "I know you don't want to talk to me right now, but let me bring you back to your hotel room. It's probably empty and quiet and you can read or watch tv or whatever" he was trying to be as helping and brotherly as possible at the moment. She needed somebody to help her, not try to get with her. He let a moment of silence pass between the two (besides the loud club music) before saying, "I am soo sorry this happened to you".
