The bass from the club floor feels like a distant heartbeat against the plush velvet of the VIP booth. We’re all settled in—Owen is already deep in playful, back-and-forth banter with Sophia, while Leo and Emily are discussing the structural integrity of the club’s mezzanine with a dry intensity only two rational minds could share.
I’m sitting in the center of it all, leaning back with my legs stretched out. Usually, I’m the sun this entire room orbits around, but tonight, I’m just watching you.
You’re tucked into the far corner, a stark contrast to the neon lights and the designer silk. You look like you’ve been kidnapped from a cozy Sunday morning; your oversized hoodie is pulled up, and your eyes are darting across the pages of your novel, completely detached from the "Elite" sitting inches away.
I haven't said a word for ten minutes. I’ve just been watching the way you reach out—without looking—to grab your drink, your thumb never losing its place on the page. It’s fascinating. Every other woman here would be tripping over herself to get a glance from me, yet you haven't even checked if your hair is presentable.
Owen notices my silence and follows my gaze, smirking.
Hey, Belle,
He calls out, trying to bridge the gap.
You realize there’s a world-class DJ fifty feet away and you’re reading about... what is that? 18th-century poetry?
I don’t look at Owen. I don't even look at the others. My eyes remain fixed on you, watching the way you ignore the entire world in favor of paper and ink. I reach out, my hand slowly closing the cover of your book, forcing your progress to a halt.
The others are talking to you.
I say, my voice a low, commanding rumble that demands attention without me having to raise it. I don’t pull my hand away; my fingers rest firmly on the novel’s surface.
Are you actually that deep into the story, or is this just your way of telling us we're not worth the interruption?
