Chapter two The two of us
I was glad this shock came in on a Friday. It had hit me hard enough to want an entire wine cellar to myself
"What's wrong with your whole outfit, you never go this commando" Chloe said at the top of her voice which was still quite vague to me. She was my roommate at the university and now the best friend I had
"Why is everyone talking about my outfit?" I was demoralized by those comments
It sure wasn't my style but it didn't scream 'whore' all over me. The black high waisted shorts clung tightly to my hips, it wasn't long enough to conceal the least part of my thighs, the white translucent top wasn't helping either. It held my whole body tightly revealing my black bralette while the back hung loosely with ropes instead of the material
"Just so you know, you look hot.... Yunno if I was a guy I'll totally rock the hell....."
"Stop it, that shit is nasty" I said cutting her short, she laughed at my innocence
Tonight I was determined to get wasted and drowned in alcohol; so wasted I wouldn't remember what I looked like which was why I left Ethan home
"So what plans have you got tonight?" she asked me, not that I had anything reasonable for an answer; or so she thought. She was blown away by my answer
"I'mma give it all away tonight, I give up, I give up on life..." I paused slightly as I bit my lips. The pain was sharp but it felt good to finally feel something I wanted to. "I want to get wasted" I screamed
She sat there motionless. If she was impressed at this new me she hid it perfectly well
"Girl you're wasted" she drew out a cigarette and lit it
"Hey, I wanna have that" I staggered towards her and reached to snatch it, she withdrew.
"You see, being a badass isn't for everyone and certainly not for you"
I glared at her and sighed heavily before sitting on the chair again. Thoughts of earlier today flashed before me.
He had been as ruthless as usual, even worse this time, blackmailing me with my moms immigration reversals. And all that for what? To rule his company; the exact part I still couldn't discern
I tried to get it off my mind, Ethan couldn't help with it, i resolved to drinks and now even it couldn't help me
"I'll go get more drinks" i said pushing myself up
"You need to get home and have a long rest" she got up and held me tightly, she was determined to get us home and i was determined to stay here
"No, no, no, no, no...." I stopped then batted my lashes in a childlike manner. "Pretty please" I begged then hugged her "Do you love me?" I asked, it was a trap and she knew it
"Of course I do" she answered now touched
"Then please let me do this..... I wanna have fun, just tonight" I begged making a face again. "I wouldn't misbehave if that makes you feel any better" I added
She was awestruck at this part of me
"Fine, but just 2 drinks"
"Yup" I hugged her again and ran off. I wasn't letting this opportunity slip away
"Waiter!!" I screamed for the fifth time since i got there
"You should probably check the VIP lounge,I saw him go up there" someone beside me said
"Thank you" I replied and turned towards the VIP lounge. If i was thinking straight maybe I would have remembered I don't have exclusive entry to the club.... the thing was i wasn't thinking straight so I pretty much did not remember all of this
"Miss, you are not allowed to go in" a hefty guy in black at the door said while blocking me
I diverted my drunken attention to him
"Hey handsome" i said pulling his beard,he remained unmoving. When neither men responded to me I tried to make a forced entry
"I just need the damn bartender" I yelled, the men running after me as I entered the lounge.... only this time, the wrong lounge. This was not just VIP but exclusive, owned by just a person, that one man
He sat there, his aura quite illogical; he looked aloof and refreshing in one
"Oh my!!" I said under my breath biting my lips. I wasn't a hoe but I knew how to appreciate natures beauty when i saw it and i was looking at one
"Hey" I ignored the men who badly wanted me out behind me, all my thoughts were on this one man. I tucked my hair behind my ear and waved seductively
'Was this the drink or just me?' I wasn't sure what I was doing any longer but I wanted this to last
He smirked at my behaviour, I watched his lips move
"Childish" he mouthed the words
"Miss you need to get out, before we get violent" I was again reminded of their existence
I grunted at them before looking at him again, he was completely uninterested. I looked around for the first time since I stepped in, the entire place was empty except of course four of us, just then it dawned on me; this man wasn't looking for companionship
Ordinarily, I would back off, but today, i had a good feeling about this guy
"You're not from around here, are you?" he seemed different. I walked towards him under the watch of those men
He didn't order for me to get beaten; this guy wasn't interested but didn't hate me that much
I moved closer and sat down beside him, my arms flung over his shoulder, we looked like old classmates
"You aren't either" he spoke for the first time. His voice was metallic, slightly seductive. He smirked charmingly
"So you aren't dumb anyway" I continued
"And you are one bold girl... actually, the first I've met in years"
I smiled at this. I wasn't letting this pass, I needed an opportunity to get wasted and here it was. He was at least cute and obviously had great genes
"Could you come closer" I gave off my most sensual smile and he heeded. "This room, I want it to be only the two of us in here"
He smiled this time without hesitation he asked the men to leave
I looked into his deep blue eyes, they weren't leaving tonight and neither was I
"I'm bored, let's have some fun" I laughed and leaned in to his neck
