Zethora's POV

"Have a good time Z!" My sister waves while walking back up the stairs. 

After we got done fooling around which coach couldn't stop laughing at Tyler, we decided to meet up with Chris and Derek tonight. Who would have thought I would show him up? He wasn't upset about it and in-fact told the coach that I could out do some of the best. The coach agreed making me blush. So now we are about to head out. Tyler offer to drive me since I was currently in a dress that would show a bit too much if I hiked it up over Shadow. 

I kiss my sister on the forehead before hearing a honk come from outside. My sister hugged me tightly as I stepped towards the door. I walked out to see my cousin looking at my attire. I chose a long sleeve laced gray dress that reached mid thigh. My sister chose the dress for me and told me that I would look beautiful. I didn't like it due to it's length but couldn't tell her no. His gaze meets mine and his jaw clenched while he opened my door. 

"You look beautiful cousin." I smiled at him and pecked his cheek before slipping into the seat. I got situated while Tyler got back into the driver's seat. He looked over at me once more specifically my legs. He takes a deep inhale before looking at the window. I know he is currently biting his tongue wanting to say something and trying to decide whether or not to say it. "Did your sister pick out the dress?"

I nod my head and I see his shoulders slouch. He grumbles something under his breath as we take off out the driveway. I look at the window looking at all the structures and scenery as we drive by. My mind wandering to Derek and Chris. Chris like I said is becoming a doctor where as his fiance is the owner of a cafe & popular club in town. They say opposites attract and that couldn't be more accurate with these two. Chris is more level headed while Derek lets his emotions decide his actions. I always saw these two as fire and ice however together mix to make an incredible combination. When Chris is overworked or stressed out, Derek is the only one to help soothe him and visa versa. 

I'm pulled out of my thoughts pulling up to a familiar neon sign. I read it a gently smile. Derek named his club after Chris which I thought was fitting. 

"I still can't get over the name, Satan's Angel? Such an odd name for a club." I just smile remembering how Derek told me this when they first made the idea of the club happen. He parks the car and we see a line which I see Derek about to go stand in. I follow behind him before looking towards the door seeing paparazzi standing out there. I cringe and tug on Tyler's jacket making him follow my gaze. "Shit, alright hold on." 

He pulls out his phone and calls someone. I hear someone answer and Tyler begins talking while I see us begin moving closer to the paparazzi making me hear my heart thump in my ears. I can't stand them. I remember when I first joined gymnastic all the comments they made up about me since I refused to talk. I can still remember some of the more harsh words said. Since then my coach has refused to answer any questions about me. We go to the meets and I only speak to him. I have my headphones on and only watch as the others perform but never looking at the scoring. My passion drives me, not a number on the board. My coach originally thought it was insane but I was securing gold so he allowed me to due my process the way it worked best for me. Most of the time paparazzi would get up in my face causing me to tense. 

"Z, did you hear me?" I snap my eyes to Tyler who has concerned look on his face. I shake my head and he sighs relaxing slightly. "Chris said he is heading out here to direct us to the back doors." I nod my head just as I see a familiar face come towards us with his face looking pinched as if he is annoyed. 

"Stupid ass paparazzi.. You know it's because they were told she is back in town right?" My eyes go wide as Tyler's features harden. I stroke his arm as I walk to Chris hugging him tightly. He releases me and looks down at me. "Damn, there are days I wish I was straight." 

I grin widely and laugh inside. He couldn't be straight if he tried. I feel Tyler's strong tense form turn towards Chris while he gives him a deathly glare. I want to chuckle knowing how protective Tyler is of me. Chris then looks towards Tyler and rolls his eyes. 

"Relax dude, I would hit on you before hitting on her." Tyler then relaxes but looks slightly uncomfortable at Chris's forwardness. I can't stop from holding my hand over my mouth while my body shakes with silent laughter. "Come on beauty." 

Chris then puts his hand on the small of my back as he leads me a different way. Tyler on my other side. We get to a back door where Chris knocks. The door swings open to a security guard who looks at us. He recognizes Chris and nods before allowing us in. We walk in and I realize we are in the back of the club. I hear the thumping under my feet as Chris leads us to a staircase. His hand now holding mine as we ascend the stairs. Tyler look around and giving looks to men walking by. I can feel their gaze on me making my skin crawl. I try not thinking about it but Tyler's hand coming to my lower back comforts me as he gets closer to me. I almost sigh in relief with his security. 

"Wait here, I haven't told Derek yet that you were coming tonight but I want to surprise him." I nod as I walk over to the railing looking down at the crowded club. The music pulsating throughout giving an electrical vibe to rush through me. I love to dance always have. Macy said if I wasn't into gymnastics that I could easily become a choreographer. As the door behind me flings open I see a mess of floppy brown hair with wide chocolate eyes looking at me. 

"MY GIRL IS BACK!" I smile as he rushes picking me up in his arms. I see Tyler huff as Chris chuckles. I hold on to Derek as he spins me around. " Baby girl, it's soo good to have you home." 

I nod at him as he takes my hand above my head making me do a twirl. He whistles which abruptly makes Tyler cross his arms. I look at him with an "Are you serious" look. He then takes my hand leading me back down the stairs while the couple falls behind us. Tyler leads me over to the VIP section that I see already has some people in it. He leads me to a booth in the back part that is looks over the entire VIP section. Tyler slides me in first before sitting beside me. Derek slides in as Chris sits beside him. We are sitting there for a few minutes before I recognize a familiar figure. My eyes locking with the unique golden orbs.
