It Comes In Three's

Chapter 42

Alex‘ PÓV

“Hurry the f**k up it’s way after four now!” I complain, growing impatient with the fact that our job had taken so long and that we were

now behind schedule…

I climb in to the car, allowing Del to drive today, frustrated and tense from having to beat up a couple of wannabe gangsters who tried to steal from our shipment a couple of months back!

Today was the only day that we could catch them by surprise – and it just had to be the same day as the festival.

We drive off quickly, having stopped at Dels for a quick change, before pull out my phone to check up on my girl.

My eyebrows instantly furrow at the notification-

“Lottie_Sanchez started following you.”

My grip tightens as I unlock the Instagram app, seeing her profile pop up. I instantly follow her back, before clicking on to her page surprised to see that she had already posted a photo to her feed.

In that moment, I felt my heart harden. My teeth nearly shattered from how tightly I had clenched my jaw as my body shook ever so slightly… Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She’s f**king naked!

I never thought in a million years she would be confident enough to pick something like that out for a festival. If I would have known that then I would have asked to fu*king see the outfit beforehand!

My mind began to race, thinking of all of the wandering eyes that would land on her over the hours that I wasn’t there to keep her safe!

I flick through the pictures – there being five in total. She looked insanely s*xy, which only made my rage worsen.

She’s mine…

The pictures were cute and she looked happy in them… but they were way hotter than they needed to be… as she smiled, pouted and laughed in them. The last one of her looking over her shoulder – round ass on display almost sent me into cardiac arrest!

She so far was following five people – which consisted of Anna, Jace, Del, Erik and myself and already had over fifty followers…

Confused as to how, I click over to my feed – seeing Anna’s own post pop up. I then click to Anna’s story, where she had shared Lottie’s picture and tagged her saying ‘How hot is my bestie?‘ as I felt the steam practically leave my ears.

She is hot… but she’s not for other people to f**king think is hot!

I then click back to Lottie’s followers, which had again crept up to over sixty in the seconds that I had left her profile… obviously most consisted of guys which again made me want to throttle someone.

“Yo Alex are you good? You look like you’re going to malfunction back there!” Jace questions oddly, as I instantly glare at him.

“They are prancing around that festival half f**king naked!” I complain loudly unable to contain my temper.

I did notice though that despite Lottie’s ass and stomach being on display… she’s probably covered up more than most… but that’s beside the point!

“Don’t all girls at the festival go naked? That’s what makes it fun!” Del comments, causing myself and Jace to roll our eyes.

Of course he would say that!

“Look at Anna!” I show Jace her picture, as Jace groans and covers his eyes.

“She always need to take it too far!” Jace complains, as I breathe out harshly.

“Look we are around the corner anyway, then you two can keep an eye on them all night.” Del mocks us, not caring much for the situation, as I lock my phone.

My primal instinct is to grab her and drag her out of there, take her home, change her into a tracksuit, before bringing her back!

However, Lottie doesn’t deserve that. She just wants to enjoy herself and fit in. After texting with her last night, she had said how excited she was for the festival since she had never been to one before. I’m guessing Anna probably encouraged the outfit choice too since it seems to be the style of the event… being damn naked!

Del parks up, as I waste no time on exiting the car – feeling the heat land on my topless shoulders. I barely made an effort for these events – having worn grey shorts, white sock and white sneakers – deciding to go topless since from past experience I always shed the shirt at one point or another anyway due to the heat.

We march across to the entry gates, as I get my barcode up to scan through – being given a wristband in return.

Once we all get through to the other side, I pull up my phone to see that it was now quarter to five… I open my contact list and click to call Lottie…

We begin to slowly walk through the festival, taking in the surroundings, as I listen to the phone ring in my ear… fourth ring… fifth ring… before it ends.

こ

Don’t do this Lottie… I’ll lose my shit if I can’t find her…

–

We continue on, as I click to call her again – scanning the crowds in my passing for any sign of her…

It rings… then rings… then rings some more… before-

“Is that them? It can’t be!” Del cackles loudly, as I turn instantly to look at the direction he was pointing.

A drunken cowboy dance off…

I watch the large screen, seeing Lottie and Anna twirling and dancing around in cowboy hats in front of a large crowd….

“How the f**k do we get there?” Jace asks, as I look around for any sign of the area that they could be in.

–

“There!” I point towards a crowded area close to the main stage – giving a western feel.

We begin to walk across towards it, as my stomach twists at how many people must be staring at her as she dances around for them on the f**king stage half naked…

We grow closer, seeing the two screens at either side of the stage – proving that this was, in fact, where they were our way through in an attempt to get to the front…

as we begin to push

I glance up at the screen continuously, seeing that Lottie was now up on Anna’s shoulders singing along to ‘Jolene’ by Dolly Parton as the crowd sing back to her.

She’s wasted…

It doesn’t take us long to get through, as my eyes finally land on the female in question. The guy on the microphone steps out as the song ends causing everyone to cheer…

“Ok folks! Let’s hear it for who you want to win the free drink pass for the rest of the night!” He announces, as I eye Jace and Del quickly

Who scoff.

So that’s why they’ve done this… to win a f**king free drinks pass…

“Let’s hear it for the guys!” He starts, referring to the two drunken dudes at the opposite side of the stage who receive a loud cheer.

“Good… now let’s hear it for the girls!” The crowd erupts including Del- before whistles are also heard which instantly fills me with jealousy.

She better get off that damn stage…

“Looks like the girls win this one! Here you go ladies! Please take a bow! The pair of them cheer and hug one another, before the guy places two passes over their heads for their free drinks.

Lottie turns to take a bow, and as she does, her eyes instantly land on my own – before she grins widely and offers me a wave – before pointing to the prize around her n*ck…

I tilt my head up to acknowledge her, my face remaining stern, as she tilts her head at me oddly – before Anna drags her towards the steps to exit

With that, we also begin to move towards them… this little lady better get her ass in gear before I lose my shit completely!
