A Night With Mr Lawson novel Chapter 1

It was night time and life was just starting in the city. The lights from the numerous bars and clubs shone and danced in a beautiful ambiance decorating the streets.

At one corner inside the Splendour Vouge bar, the drunken Aria, was gulping heavily on alcoholic drinks. An action she decided to do to wash away her pains.

Taking tens of bottles of strong alcohol was he only way she knew to wash off her sorrow. But it wasn't working. The pain was just too much for alcohol to cleanse. The bitter sweet taste of the strong drinks did nothing to numb away the throbbing pain she felt in her heart.

Fuck!

It was hurting too much. She needed more bottles!

Her eyes were bloodshot, not from just the over flow of alcohol in her body but from the tears she had shed. She had cried so much, she started begging herself to stop.

People in the bar gave her strange looks for she was the only person drinking and crying. She also didn't dress as expensive as they did.

"W-waiter!" She called, the words slurring.

The waiter looked at her wearily. He couldn't understand how such a beautiful woman like her was drowning herself in alcohol.

"Waiter! Waiter!" She called, whining like a child.

"Yes ma'am!" He responded quickly before Aria could attract the manager.

"B-ring me mo-re b-ottles! I want- I want more bottles!" Aria's vision was starting to spin. In fact she was moving unsteadily on the couch she sat. She knew the alcohol she had taken was enough but she didn't want to stop. She needed the strong liquid to numb her pain.

The waiter stood confused, he didn't know if it was safe to bring more bottles to this woman. She looked like she would fall off at any moment.

"A-re you b-ringing it or not!" Aria snapped, seeing that the waiter wasn't moving.

Once again, the poor man, didn't want to get into trouble with his manager. So he gave in to Aria's demand and went ahead to serve her more bottles of the strong drink.

"Good, very good boy you are." She slurred, praising him with a smile.

She unsteadily snatched one of the bottles from the table and placed it to her lips, allowing the cold liquid to flow down her system. Her head moved back and forth and her vision got even more hazy.

"Madam don't you think you should head home now? This place isn't safe for you," the waiter said hoping that little pep talk would get her to stop taking so many drinks and head on to her house.

Though the waiter only meant to send Aria off as quickly as possible, the Splendour Vouge Bar was truly a dangerous place for a beautiful woman to come drinking alone. It was the best in the city with fancy requirements and very expensive servings. It was a place meant for the richest and higher people in the society. Anyone who wasn't in their class was either treated as a pauper or a prostitute.

Aria wasnt a part of the high class but her broken heart had led her straight to the doors of Splendour Vouge Bar.

"What are you saying to me? Huh?" She furrowed her brows, glaring angrily at the waiter.

She knew that she didn't belong in this kind of place and that she might be taken for a prostitute or worst, but she didn't care and she most definitely didn't need a waiter to be telling her that!
