Her eyes widened in incredulity when she saw her friend in the arms of a subdued Zane .
What the hell had happened ? She looked at Sandro for an explanation , aware that she wasnt the only one in this perplexing mix .
The reactions of Ewan and Sandro back at the club , when Zane insulted Gianna , made it clear that they too werent in the loop about the history between Zane and her best friend .
Right there .
Sandro pointed to a shadowy corner of the parking lot .
It turns out that before she came out here , she collected more bottles of alcohol from the bar .
Shes really out cold now .
The only stroke of luck we had is that none of these ridiculous men followed her or spotted her .
It would have made for an entirely different story Didnt she know ? Athena looked at her friend pitifully .
What had Zane done to wreck her this way ? Worse yet , what was Gianna doing in his arms ? She scowled at Zane .
Zane , looking almost innocent if he didnt have that l just gobbled a box of chocolates expression lifted his hand in defense .
She wouldnt let Sandro touch her .
I had no choice but to step in .
And why is that ? Arent you her attacker ? Athena shot back , raising her eyebrows so high she might as well have launched them into orbit .
Zane opened his mouth , then shut it as if he was suddenly at a loss for words .
It got me surprised too .
She lashed out when I touched her , but when he did , she was calm as crystal .
Whats the history between you two ? Tell us … Sando inquired , folding his arms across his chest .
Ewan too was curious about his friends relationship with Athenas best friend .
Although , he was happy to see Zane strung up by another woman , he couldnt help but wonder why his friend , a playboy , had suddenly lost his cool .
It just never happened ! But Zane remained tight lipped , apparently unfazed by being the center of attention .
Just take her home , He said after a few beats , causing Athena to scowl in disbelief .
A thick pause .
You know what … I dont have time for this .
Im leaving Pulling out her phone , she was about to call Aiden for a rescue , but Ewan stopped her .
Dont worry about that .
Ill drop you both home .
I came with my car .
56 Night Out V Athena furrowed her brows , unsure what to make of this Ewan , who seemed determined to invade her personal space at every turn .
Yet she needed a ride , and it was a bit too late to disturb Aiden , even though the latter wouldnt complain .
Alright , then .
Wheres your car ? Ewan pointed to his vehicle a few feet away from them .
He hurried over to it, and just as he peered into the window , he noticed his driver was blasting music like it was the last day of summer .
Ewan knocked on the window , and the driver instantly jerked , scrambling to roll it down .
Good evening , sir .
Are you ready to go home ? He asked , as he stepped out of the car .
Dont bother yourself … Ewan pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket .
Take this and go home .
Ill be driving my friends .
The driver hesitated for a moment , weighing his options like a game of poker , but seeing that Ewan was serious , he humbly accepted the cash and waved goodbye after greeting the people with his boss .
Ive never seen you drive .
Are you sure I and my friend will be safe with you ? Athena queried .
checking out the car .
Ewan chuckled at her snide jab .
Well , we will have to find out now , wont we ? He opened the door , letting Zane gently place a still passed out Gianna in the back seat .
Zane stood erect , watching Athena , after completing his mission , but Athena ignored him entirely .
She wished Sandro a goodnight , and hurried into the back seat to Ewans chagrin .
He had assumed she would be sharing the front seat with him … When Sandro shut the door after Athena , he turned to Ewan and laughed .
Chop chop , driver ! Make sure the ladies get home safe and sound .
Ewan cussed under his breath before shooting Sandro a glare .
He then turned to Zane , who looked lost in thought , as if he was deciphering the meaning of life itself .
Are you okay ? Ewan asked , trying to pry into Zanes complicated psyche .
Zane shrugged .
I will be fine .
Ill just miss the twins .
He started walking away from them , which left Sandro waving goodbye and a bewildered Ewan wondering what twins Zane could possibly be talking about .
Was Zane drunk ? Or had he just inadvertently joined a secret club of two headed beings ? The drive from the club to Athenas place took less than fifteen minutes .
Coming down from the car , Ewan rushed over to help Athena with Gianna , who was still passed out .
56 Night Out V But when he touched her , Gianna screamed and lashed out again as if he were merely a fly buzzing irritatingly near her face .
Ewan stood stupefied , looking at Athena , who wore a similar expression of confusion .
Can you try talking to her , like whispering into her ear that shes safe ? Athena nodded and leaned closer to Gianna , whispering sweet nothings into her ear like she was auditioning for the role of a sleep fairy .
This time , when Ewan tried lifting Gianna up , she made no sound .
If anything , she threw her arms around Ewans neck and settled comfortably , as if he were her personal teddy bear .
Athena and Ewan exchanged relieved glances before walking into the building .
Which floor do you stay on ? Ewan asked , glancing at the impressive structure as though he were mapping out a vacation itinerary .
Athena chewed her lip , considering .
The first floor .
Ewan furrowed his eyebrows .
Youre staying on the first floor of the most expensive building in the city ? Athena Caddell , you are really something .
Your husband must be rolling in it ! Athena coughed , taken aback by his assumption .
He thought she was married ?
