chapter 2
It was four o'clock in the morning, I woke up but to my surprise I was laying in my bed.
" How did I get here?" I thought to myself.
I got off the bed and did some stretching, I was still stretching when I heard a knock on my door.
It was then our previous discussion dawned on me that I have to explain what is killing me on the inside.
" Morning Tara, hope you have a wonderful night of rest?" Sophie asks, looking at me tenderly.
" Yes, what about your night?" I remark curtly.
" Morning Anna." I said greeting Anna who stood behind Sophie looking at us as if we were acting drama.
" Morning." She replied, frowning.
Anna has always been like this, ever since we were kids in the orphanage, she gets angry easily and is always sulking whenever I offend her or make silly mistakes, especially in mathematics.
She loves math, she is a genius at math. Whenever she teaches me math, and I fail to get it in my first attempt she will always flare up, but whenever I teach her any Literature she finds it so hard to comprehend it and will always blame me for being a bad tutor.
" Now tell us what happened." Sophie said, sighing as she takes a seat beside me on the bed.
"Ahem" I cleared my throat as I began telling my story.
It all began almost three weeks ago when you were gone on a business trip to Florida, I was called by the Big "D" company where I had earlier taken exams as an interpreter, to summit my resume as soon as possible.
I had shared the news with Anna, who was taking a nap in her room, it was her day off that day. We were so happy about the news and Anna decided we go out to celebrate it, since her colleagues were having a get-together in a clubhouse on the fourth street.
That day, Anna helped me in getting dressed.
She had gone through my closet that day searching for what I could wear because I don't go out, and I am petite in structure, loves wearing baggy clothes.
She scans through my closet and opted for a dress that accentuates my curves and fit my body shape nicely. Likewise, she pairs a crop top with a plugging neckline and a body con skirt that is slightly slitted and shows off most of my inner thigh.
Furthermore, she then opts for a fitted jumpsuit with a low neckline for a chic and sexy vibe for herself.
" Is this dress not too revealing?" I had asked her that night.
" No, this is how to dress like a hot chic girl!" She answers chuckling.
" Turn around for me." She demanded, and I did so, not feeling too confident.
" Can I just take my coat along? I will take it off once I get to the club." I said, trying to persuade her.
" Alright, just don't be so cold when you meet new people, try to get along with them." Anna said, combing my long silky shinning brown hair.
" Can you style it into a ponytail, please?" I begged.
" Let your hair loose, for sometimes it wouldn't hurt you, will it?" Anna said vividly in irritation.
" Alright, style it anyhow you want it." I said, smiling at her through the mirror.
She got my hair do quickly and we both stood in front of the mirror checking ourselves out.
Anna is a beautiful Spanish lady typically has an elegant and alluring demeanor, with warm, expressive gray eyes and olive-toned skin. Her shoulder-length black shinning hair, and a graceful and curvaceous figure, curvy hips, tiny waist and busty boobs. She exudes confidence, radiates charm, and pride.
Anna's beauty is breathtaking.
We left for the clubhouse on the fourth street in Sophie's car.
Anna drove the car into a luxurious looking building and parked the car in their parking lot.
" Wow! Are you certain this is the location?" I ask Anna in awe.
Anna scoffs and asks me to get out of the car.
Anna waited for me to get out of the car, but it took me so long to do so because I was so engrossed with the fascinating environment.
The exterior of the clubhouse is a sight to behold. It exudes elegance and sophistication, captivating anyone who lays eyes upon it. The building itself boasts a grand design, constructed with high-quality materials that reflect the utmost attention to detail.
The clubhouse features a tasteful blend of architectural styles, combining timeless elements with contemporary embellishments. It showcases sleek lines, large windows, and an inviting entrance, all contributing to its overall grandeur. The facade is adorned with exquisite stonework, ornate carvings, adding a touch of opulence.
Surrounding the clubhouse, carefully manicured landscapes and lush greenery create a serene and picturesque ambiance. Beautifully arranged gardens, vibrant flower beds, and well-maintained pathways envelop the building, inviting residents and guests to indulge in a tranquil outdoors atmosphere.
" Can you even afford a bottle of water here?" I asked bluntly.
I step out of the car and Anna locks the car.
" Anything I order here today will be on the hospital bills." Anna said, flashing a cute smile at me.
I was stunned by her revelation.
" Why will the hospital foot your bills?" I asked, still confused.
" Our CEO, Dr. Abel, is celebrating his friend's safe return today." Anna said curtly.
" Can I have your ID, ladies?" A huge, hefty looking man asks as we got to the entrance of the clubhouse.
" Sure!" Anna replied.
She searches through her purse and brings out two IDs, mines and hers.
The bouncer stares at me for some time before opening the door for us to go in.
" Are you sure she's up to 21 years?" One of them asks once we get inside.
" I don't give a damn! The chick is hot!" The bouncer who let us in earlier retorted nonchalantly.
" Are they not violating the law by gossiping about their clients?" I ask Anna in horror.
" Just ignore them, and let's celebrate tonight." Anna said, dragging me away to the counter.
" A cocktail please!" Anna said to the gentleman in the bar area.
He looks up from his phone and smiles.
He brought out different bottles of spirits and does the mixture like that of a pro.
" Here you go, ladies!" He said pushing the glass in our direction.
" Thanks." We chorused and he winked at us.
" My colleague will be here In ten minutes, so we just have ten minutes to celebrate your success." Anna said happily.
" I have not been called for an interview yet, not to talk of being called for the job." I said, grinning widely at her way of exaggerating things.
" Well, you passed the exam in that magnanimous and flourishing firm, that alone calls for celebration." Anna stated firmly.
" You look so happy tonight." I blurted out suspiciously.
" Well, you can say that again." She said, rolling her eyeballs.
" What's the secret." I ask, nudging her.
She adjusted herself on her seat and whispers in my ear. " The CEO of our hospital is hosting us tonight in person." She giggles.
" So?" I asked confused.
She sits upright and continues in a more audible voice," well, you know I have always told you about that my colleagues gossip a lot about how handsome and cold our CEO was and how he wouldn't let any girl get closer to him." Anna said, facing me.
I nod my head in affirmation, and she continues," some even suspect that he is gay, but I just can't see any sense in their accusations. I want to meet him as a person and get to know who he really is." Anna said smiling.
" What's the nature of his friend's work?" I ask.
" He is a soldier, but some said he belongs to a special force, a real Patriot." Anna said as she widened her eyes.
