Chapter 19

" K.C, what's wrong??" Merissa yelled over the loud music as I took a sip of my cocktail

" Nothing" I shook my head

" Lighten up a bit" she whispered in my ear

" Come dance with me" she pulled me to the dance floor

" I don't know how to" she looked at me and laughed

" Now that's a lie" she held my hands using them to move my body to the beat

I started flowing with it, moving my hips side to side while laughing with Merissa

" Let's get a drink" I yelled after some minutes and walked back to the bar

" What would you have??" The bartender asked. He's cute

" I'll have..."

" Two shots of tequila" a dark skinned Spanish guy cut me short, if you're wondering he's accent have him away

" Thanks" he said to the cute bartender before passing me one of the shots

" Oh no, I don't do acohol" I smiled

" Sure??" He looked at me closely before throwing the contents of one of the shots down his throat

" You should try it"

" I really shouldn't"

" I don't really have that much tolerance for acohol" he kept his gaze on me with the hand holding the shot stretched out to me

"You don't give up easily do you??"

He smirked still keeping his gaze on me, this is getting awkward

I rolled my eyes and collected it from him

I took a sip and looked at him, his eyes still on me

I threw the rest into my mouth and swallowed with my eyes shut

It's getting hot, like it's burning my throat

I dropped the cup and he passed me another one

" Seriously??" He nodded

" It's on me"

" If I wanted some, I have money to pay for it" I rolled my eyes and emptied the second one in my mouth

" Happy now??" I started getting dizzy. This is not good

" Can I get some water??"

" Water??, The night is still young"

" How about taking this conversation outside??" I do need to get fresh air

" Sure" I grabbed my purse and came down from the stool, making my way outside

" I'm Juan by the way"

" K.C" I replied sitting on the bench as I took off the skyscrapers Meriisa gave me in the name of shoes

I sighed

" So..." I looked at the person beside me. He's still here??

" So??" He held my jaw firmly and started coming closer

" What are you trying to do??" I turned my face away, He's acohol breath makes me wanna puke

" Trying to kiss you ofcourse" I smiled.

" Sorry I have a boyfriend sweetie" I pecked him and stood up, picked up my shoes making my way down to the roadside to get a cab

" It was nice drinking with you tho" I yelled to him through the cab window

*************************

I rubbed my head as I looked around the room...I'm in room

" What happened??" I sat up and noticed I was still in Merissa's gown

" Aunty Jane??" I walked down the staircase

" Good morning" I walked into the kitchen where she was beating eggs

" Lemme do it" she moved aside giving me room to continue cooking

" I don't know what really happened yesterday, but I'm sorry if I did or said anything I shouldn't have said"

" It's fine"

" I was thinking of taking you to work with me to have a look around"

" Seriously??"

" Ah what are we waiting for??"

" What time are you leaving??" I added pour the eggs into the fry pan filled with oil

" By maybe 10" she sat down on the kitchen stool

I looked up at the clock on the wall, hmm 8:39, I still have time

" I dropped the plate of eggs in front of her and handed her the loaf of bread before putting my own eggs in a plate

I said a word of prayer before putting a little of the eggs in my mouth

I dipped my tea and looked up

" Are you through??" She nodded

I looked down at the plate, still full

" You didn't eat anything" she stood up and started making her way to the staircase

I heard a thud and looked up

"Aunty Jane!!!!" I yelled

I ran to her and held her up

She fainted

***************

" Doctor, what's wrong with my aunt??" I stood up and asked the doctor as he walked out of the emergency room

" She didn't tell you??" I was confused

" Tell me what??" I was getting worried

" She's pregnant, it's almost two months old"

"And she hasn't been eating right, hardly eating at all, she'd be fine, she just needs some rest and food"

I froze, he tapped my shoulder and walked passed me

" My dream" I sat down
