She found a spot in the corner and sipped on a soda water, watching the partiers talk and dance.
A group were openly snorting cocaine from the coffee table, sharing around a rolled-up hundred dollar bill.
In the middle of the room, Alessandro danced with two women. They draped themselves over him, while he ran his hands up and down their bodies.
Near the front door, a man and a woman fought loudly, while she cried.
The music grew louder and Mia’s head started to hurt. She spied the set of glass doors leading out onto the balcony. She just needed some air to clear her head.
Mia stepped out onto the balcony and walked further around the corner, away from the view of the living room party.
She leaned against the railing, breathing in the crisp night air. The lights of the city looked beautiful, twinkling like stars.
“Shouldn’t you be inside partying?”
Mia turned at the sound of the deep, smooth voice.
It was Lorenzo, sitting on a chair, sipping from a bottle of water. He had his shirt off completely and his hair was tousled.
Mia tried to calm her nerves.
“I’m not the biggest party girl.”
“Didn’t you come with Bethany? If you’re with her, you’re a party girl.”
He held out a bottle of water, and she took it gratefully.
“Maybe I’m trying to be something I’m not.”
“Aren’t we all?”
“You don’t look like you are.”
“You’ve known me for, what, two minutes? You don’t know what I am and what I’m not.”
Mia took a sip of her water.
“I saw you at the club tonight, beating up that guy.”
“So?”
“So, I think you’re a good person.”
Lorenzo laughed. It was gruff and sexy and made Mia weak in the knees.
“Do you have any idea who I am?” He asked.
Mia shrugged, in a way that she hoped look casual.
Lorenzo stood up and approached her.“You have no idea where you are? Who you’re with?”
“Bethany said you’re in construction.”
Lorenzo was right in front of her now. He brushed his hand along her face and she shivered.
“You’re just another bimbo friend of Bethany’s aren’t you?”
“Excuse me?”
