Chapter 8

• Chapter 8
• "I'm paying. Go on Les."
• "How can you afford all of this?" I ask once Leslie is out of sight.
• "Ariel, I'm a model and I have a boyfriend." She smiles and picks out a nearly no clothing type of dress.
• "You should try that." She throws the dress at me and the strap is not my thing and it's short. I can't wear a strap dress it's too revealing. It has a short split and I'm sure that split is for revealing a perfect toned thigh.
• "Check me out boo." Leslie walks out of the closet wearing a sleeveless blue dress. So short.
• "You're hot."
• "I'm keeping it." Leslie smiles. Why would she wear that?
• "Ariel, you're keeping that." Alexa says picking out a purple strap dress for herself too, but hers is laced and nearly see through.
• After countless convincing they forced me to buy it with Alexa telling me it's only for tonight.
• It's 7 pm and Alex is dressing me up. Leslie is through but busy straightening her eyeliner and lipstick. Alexa stretches my hair to make it longer. She decides to add a little makeup but I refused. I already look uncomfortable dressed in a short strap dress with a split and every normal person can see my thighs. According to some normal folks, they might think my clothing is normal but nothing is normal tonight.
• Mom and dad visited Janell. Their new friend and from the same parish. The ride was awful to me cause Leslie and Alexa are always humming to the songs blaring through the stereo. It's a club and I've never been to a club. I step out of Alexa's car and I'm faced with this weird place. I'm gonna throw up.
• "Let's get wasted ladies." Alexa leads the march and i naively followed. My spirit isn't here and as usual my inner woman is already scolding me to behave and have fun a little.
• "Whoa..." Alexa and Leslie are drinking themselves to stupor even if they aren't that drunk. I decide to take a sip of the liquor but I spit it back. So bitter.
• "Alex." A blonde haired guy calls with a smirk sitting close to Alex.
• "What the fuck do you want?"
• "Come on babe, I missed you."
• "The fuck dude! We just had sex and I'm done with you." Alexa spits out with so much confidence.
• The Blondie laughs stupidly even with the loud music.
• "Boo, you missed this dick."
• "It's too tiny. Piss off asshole. I've gotten a better one than yours." Alexa replies and i feel really dizzy with their choice of foul language.
• "That's what's up." Leslie squeals and I assume she's drunk. She shouldn't be supporting such vulgar act.
• I excuse them to the bar to order for something soft to drink. I can't cope with alcohol or I'll just gag to death. It smells awful. I stand beside the counter and the bartender seems busy. I sigh and look around this weird club. Almost every single person here looks drunk or maybe tipsy.
• "Hey pretty." A guy smirk at me.
• I gulp to his bad stench of alcohol and I couldn't help but move a bit far from him.
• "You're scared of me sweetheart?" He flirts, trying to touch me.
• "Stay away from me." I plea. it's crazy nobody cares.
• "Come on."
• "Leave me the hell alone." I whimper.
• "You're too hot to avoid. Who the hell made you this beautiful." He mutters trying to touch me. Again.
• "Tinkerbell..." I heard that all too familiar voice. I turn to look behind this drunk asshole. And there he was, standing in all glory. Eyes all over my body as he walks to my figure.
• "What do you want with my girl?" This grey eyes stranger asks the other drunk fella.
• "Nothing man. I didn't know she's yours."
• "Good. Now get your broke ass outta here." I watch the drunk ass leave quickly. I can't catch my breath. My eyes move slowly to look at his and just as expected, he smirks. I've obviously lost my breath just standing few feet from him.
• What's he doing here? I thought I would never see him again. Funny part he just called me his girl. What the hell...
• I nervously rub my already sweaty palms against my arms. I'm nervous as usual and funny part is, he's smoking a cancer stick. He Inhales the stick, purring out the smoke through his nostrils. I cough, giving him space since his cigarette is still stuck in his mouth.
• "My bad." He takes it out and throws the blunt on the floor before stepping on it, squeezing his shoe on it.
• "We're cool?" He asks and raises his brows.
• I don't reply but stare at his eyes. I already lost my breath. It's so annoying he makes me nervous.
• "You really don't have to keep on checking me out." He states. I look away embarrassed and face this bartender who is standing in front of us.
• That's really crazy. I've been standing here for minutes and the bartender didn't even bother to look at me or ask what i needed. And this cute stranger showed up and he's already here to take his orders.
• "Tequila for me. Take the girl's orders." The bartender nods and then looks at me.
• "Do you have any liquid that's basically not alcohol?" I ask. Stranger looks at me weirdly including the bartender. Did I just make a fool out of myself?
• "Get her cocktail." Stranger answers. The bartender nods and leaves to get what he ordered. I badly wanted to ask what's a cocktail but I shamelessly seal my mouth. All thanks to my parents.
• "So what are you doing in a club?" He asks and looks at me taking in my figure. I know i look shamelessly different tonight.
• "It shouldn't be your business. Thanks for saving me by the way." I sigh and tap endlessly on the counter trying to hide my nervousness.
• "Alright."
• I stand impatiently close to this stranger and for some reasons best known to him, he's always staring at me. Am I that horrible? The bartender returns with a bottle and I'm sure that's tequila. He drops the bottle on the counter and three glasses of what I assume is cocktail.
• "It's not really bitter, Snow White." I roll my eyes and look at the bartender.
• "How much?"
• "Never mind." Stranger says and digs out his wallet to pay.
• "Please don't. I can pay my bills myself." I don't even know how much.
• "It's fine, Tinkerbell." He pays the bartender.
• "You don't have to be annoying. You helped me out the other day and I really didn't say thank you." He says and smirks at me.
