“Come on, don’t be a party pooper. I didn’t bring you all the way here to keep thinking about that asshole.” Emily said through the loud music, playing in the background.
“Yeah, it’s easy for you to say. You never liked Zion so you’re probably laughing at me in your head.” Melissa said, taking sips of alcohol from her cup.
Emily sighed, occupying the high stool close to where her younger sister was sitting.
“Look babe, I understand how you feel. You just got betrayed by a guy you dated for years and your so-called best friend. Of course, no one in his or her right senses would feel happy about that. I know you feel like a fool right now and all sorts but I promise you that those two idiots deserve each other.”
“I forced you to come to the club with us because there’s no point in being sad because of them. Those bitches aren't worth your tears or worry.”
“That’s not the point. I just feel so stupid.”
Emily smiled sadly. She stretched her hand towards Melissa’s revealed lap and gave it a light squeeze. “You are my dear sister and I promise you that you are not stupid. This is life and shit happens. You shouldn’t be sad because you are not the one who lost. They lost you. And trust me, you’ve got nothing to be envious about. They are just two retard individuals who I’m sure would forever regret messing with a good heart as yours.”
“You are right. I really want to forget about them and move on. But the pain I feel in my heart is so much. My mind keeps flashing back to the scene.”
“Exactly why I brought you here to hang out with my friends.”
Melissa frowned. “You all are so wild. I think I’m fine here.”
“God Melllll, When will you begin to live life like me.”
“I don’t wanna be like you. It’s terrible enough that you had to drag me out of the house in this slutty clothes. I might as well just remain here and occupy myself with some drinks and my thoughts.”
“Come on, these clothes aren’t slutty! You look so hot. I’ve always been jealous of you and wished I had your type of body.”
Melissa rolled her eyes, taking some more sips from her glass cup.
“You know what? I’m done with all of these.” Emily got down from the stool and grabbed her younger sister by her arm, pulling her down too.”
“Where the hell are you taking me? Mel yelled as her sister dragged her through the crowd and they eventually approached the boot where Emily's friends were seated, having drinks and laughing over something one of them was saying. There were about five of them seated and an empty space so Emily pushed her sister to sit there.
“Your sister was right. You do have an amazing body.” The lady beside Mel said.
“Please tell her she can also use the same body to get the man of her desire instead of moping around like some lost baby.” Emily voiced out, ignoring the glare that Melissa was giving her.
“Yeah, I agree!” One person said while the rest of the ladies nodded.
“Heartbreak sucks, We are sorry you had to go through that. But you need to cheer up.”
“Right!” Melissa mumbled, wondering what she was thinking. Her Sister had definitely announced that She was going through a tough time.
“You can join our game. It would help you get your mind off the bad stuff that had happened.” Another lady said.
“What game?” Melissa said, feeling so unsure. Anyone who knew Emily and Melissa would testify that Emily was the wild one while Melissa was the more reserved one and since Emily was wild, Mel had known that it was the same with the people Emily hung out with.”
“Oh, definitely. That’s why I brought her here. She’s going to join the game.” Emily said, taking a seat beside her younger sister to prevent her from escaping.
“Mily!”
“Oh, baby girl, stop glaring at me. You are definitely doing this one. Anything to make you stop thinking about those bastards.”
“It’s nothing illegal, Mel, We are all having fun.” One of the ladies voiced out through the loud music playing in the background.
“Yeah, Tori is right. The game is just like a bet. If you cannot carry out the task, you buy a drink for us all.”
“That sounds reasonable,” Melissa said, knowing the worst that would happen tonight was her going broke.
“Okay, so Truth or dare?” The girl that sat opposite Melissa said. Mel recognized her to be Linda, Emily’s best friend.
“Dare!” Melissa answered almost immediately.
“Hmmm, feisty. I love that.” Emily smirked.
“Hmmmm okay. Linda mumbled, scanning her eyes around the club, looking for the task to give the newbie.”
“She’s not gonna send me to murder anyone right?” Melissa frowned. Whispering at her sister.
“That would actually be so much fun. Wouldn’t it be?”
“You should be really supportive right now.”
“Relax, it’s not that deep,” Emily responded, gulping down her drink.
“Okay, Mel. You see that guy over there?” Linda pointed at a boot in the VIP area.
“You are to give him a lap dance, seduce him, spend the night with him, and provide us with a picture of his dick tomorrow morning.” She smirked, stating the task.
“What the hell?” Melissa grumbled taking a glance at the VIP area, particularly at the person she was to give a lap dance. She swallowed painfully seeing that he looked way out of her league.
............................
“Really? We’ve got a long flight to catch in...” Damien stopped to take a glance at his wristwatch. “In less than eight hours and you still had the nerve to drive us here?” He attacked Taylor, their driver for the night who turned off the car engine.
“How else would we celebrate this new deal if we don’t show up at the damn club?” Taylor defended.
“Hey, he’s going through a heartbreak so it’s so normal for him to be cranky.” Roland, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, beside Taylor answered.
“I’m not suffering any heartbreak and I’m not cranky. I know it is a big night for us but there are many other ways to celebrate instead of being here.” Damien glared at his friends from the backseat.
“You know it’s okay to show some emotions. You really don’t have to bottle it all in. We know this is all about Priscilla.” Taylor accused, taking a glance at Damien. “Yeah, you are right that we had a very productive day but trust me, you need to be in that club. The more you engage in more fun activities, the faster you forget about that gold digger lady.
Damien sighed, knowing there was nothing he could say that would change the minds of his best friends.
“Just a few drinks and we will be out of here!” He replied sternly.
“Yes Sir.”
“Absolutely!” Taylor and Roland said respectively.
They all got down from the car and made their way into the club. Taylor spoke with a few people and the three best friends landed in the VIP section.
While Roland and Taylor got acquainted with some ladies, Damien sat all by himself, keeping himself company with strong alcoholic drinks and his thoughts.
.......................
“Come on, don’t be a pussy. How hard can that be?” Emily teased her sister.
Melissa frowned at her. “To lap dance someone I don’t know?”
“Yeah, that’s the fun of being here and why are you staring as though we are making you do something really ridiculous?”
“This isn’t ridiculous enough? I just got dumped and you think throwing myself at a stranger is the right thing to do?”
“Come on, Melissa! Don’t you find your lifestyle very boring? You’ve been so uptight, doing things the modest way, and what happened? Your so-called boyfriend got your best friend pregnant on your 3rd anniversary with him.”
“So right of you to mock me for my situation.”
“Come on dude, no one is mocking you here. I just want you to be free and live life a bit without wondering what’s coming after you.”
“I knew this was a bad idea. I shouldn’t have let you force me here”
“What’s going on? You aren’t up for the task?” Linda asked Melissa.
“I will pay for the drinks.” She mumbled.
“Oh cool. I knew she wouldn’t be able to do the task. That dude seems really hot. I will gladly give him a lap dance.” One of Emily’s friends answered.
“You know what? Fuck you all!” Melissa voiced out through the loud music, standing to her feet, “You all aren’t the only ones that are bad you know?” She glared at all of them as they were seated, including Emily.
Melissa gulped down the remainder of the alcohol in her cup, and placed the cup on the table after which she stormed away, going over to the stranger.
It was a hassle migrating to the VIP area because of the crowd but Melissa eventually got there. She gave an excuse to the bouncer securing the area, lying that she was with the stranger man, and then went straight to him.Coming to a halt where he was, He was about to take more sips of alcohol when she took the cup from him and placed it on a nearby table.Before Damien could question her presence or actions, Melissa sat on his lap and slowly started straddling him.Damien wanted to push her away but he lost it the moment Melissa’s fat ass collided with his dick through his pants.A knowing smirk crept to her lips when she felt his bulge against her. That triggered her confidence, making her increase her pace in straddling him.Melissa eventually adjusted herself on his lap, to his side so that she could see his face on a much closer level. Her breath hitched. He had the most beautiful features that she had ever seen in a man, his hair was perfectly styled and his eyes were so beauti
Five Years LaterMelissa groaned from her sleep the moment she felt someone jumping on her bed.“Come on, Ryan. Let mommy have a sound sleep.” She mumbled, not opening her eyes.“No Mommy, you have to stand up.” The little boy didn’t even slow down with the way he was bouncing on the bed. “Aunt Milly said you are going to be late for your interview.”Melissa groaned, knowing he was right.“Okay. Just give me five more minutes and I will be up.”“No Mommy. I want you to take my bath for me.”“Ryan!!!” She groaned.Melissa heaved a small sigh when she felt him stop jumping. Before she could fully enjoy the peace, She felt her little boy shower kisses across her face, making her smile.“Okay, okay, I’m up.” Melissa opened her eyes.“Good Morning, Mommy.” Ryan grinned at her.Mel sat up and pulled her Son into a warm hug, crowning it with a deep kiss on his forehead.“Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?”“Yes, mommy.” He grinned.“Are you still tired?” She saw Ryan ask with so much co
Melissa snapped back to reality, her eyes met with the elevator that was almost coming to a close. She rushed in there and was glad that the door came to a close before anyone else could join them.There were about six other people in the elevator, two were on their phones while the others didn’t seem to have Melissa’s time. She was about to press the 4th-floor button when she realized that someone had pressed it.As the elevator started going up, Mel tried to catch her breath, not believing all that just happened. Her stained blazer was clung to her left arm while she held her handbag on her right hand.Her head was a mess already and all she wanted to do was to crawl into her bed and put her thoughts together. She was already late for her interview and wasn’t in the best frame of mind. In as much as Mel would do anything to be in her house right now, she knew she had to attempt the interview.The elevator came to a stop on the fourth floor. Three other people got out before she fina
“Hi hi..hey.. excuse me.”“Damn!!!” Damien cursed as the door to the elevator got shut in his face. He pressed the button continuously a couple of times hoping the door was going to open but it didn’t.“Fuck!” He cursed, going back to face Betty who looked scared and confused as to what was going on.“What the hell happened?” He asked her again.“I don’t know. I was rushing, she was rushing and we hit each other. It wasn’t on purpose.”“I’ve told you to always stay careful but you never listen to me.”“What’s going on? Do you know her before?”“Do I need to know her before I spot what's wrong?”“Come on, it was a mistake and I apologized but you seem even more angry than the victim.”“Why am I even here talking to you?” Damien made his way back to the ground floor reception.“Good Morning, Sir.” The receptionist instantly rose to her feet the moment Damien approached her desk.“A lady just walked in. Black dress, black blazer, honey blond hair that stops almost at the waist. She shoul
“I told you I want to sleep. The least you could do is to let me have some privacy.” Melissa groaned, burying her face deeper into the pillow the moment Emily entered her room.Emily ignored Lisa’s words and sat beside her on the bed.“I really want to let you be but I just can’t. I have never seen you this freaked out and it terrifies me.”“Can you please face me so we can talk?”“If it’s about today's experience. I don’t want to talk about it so can you please respect my decision?”“I am not here to talk about the interview. Just sit up and face me.”Melissa sighed, slowly doing as her sister requested. The duo were facing each other now.“Your outburst today just reminded me that we never had a proper conversation about that night.”Melissa groaned. “No Emily, please don’t talk about the stranger. I don’t want to hear it.”“This is not about him. This is about our sisterly relationship.”“Then you’ve got nothing to worry about. I’m the one who slept with a stranger and refused to t
It was almost 8 pm by the time Damien got home with his daughter. He made the little girl something to eat, took a bath for her, and then put her to bed.“Are you sad?” He asked Rumi who nodded against her pillow. He was sitting beside her as she lay on her back.“I miss Silvia.”“I’m sorry your mommy fired her. I had no idea about it and I’m sorry we were late to pick you up from school.”“I will try my best and talk her into coming back and if she refuses, that means we are gonna find you another nanny.”“I don’t want another nanny. I want Silvia.” The little girl mumbled.“I will do something about it.”“Promise?” She stared at her father with pleading eyes.”“Yes, princess.”“But you will have to stay with grandma until Silvia comes back, okay?”Rumi nodded.“Your teacher said you all got a new kid in the class that looks like me.”“Yes, Daddy. Everyone thinks he’s my brother.”“Do you think he looks like me?”Rumi sat up and stared closely at her Daddy’s face as though this was t
Not wanting what happened the previous day to repeat itself, Melissa left the house right on time, and with every step she took, She was extra careful not to bump into anyone.“Good morning,” Melissa said to the receptionist who suddenly looked up from her system with a bright smile “Ms. Melissa Wilson. You are here for the interview right?”Melissa was almost frowning when she mentally slapped herself back to reality to maintain a straight face, knowing it was going to be rude to give the receptionist weird looks but she still didn’t understand why the receptionist was being overly nice and most importantly knew her full name.As if she could read her mind, the receptionist spoke, “Your info was forwarded to me already. So I knew you would be coming.”“That’s good to know and thank you.”“So 4th floor right?”“Oh no. The boss will be interviewing you himself. That's going to be on the 6th floor.”Melissa’s heart fell. “The Boss?”“Yes, ma’am. He’s waiting for you.”“Okay, thank you.”
Mel chuckled in distaste. "Of course, you know my name and I don't even know who you are!” "I only knew yesterday when I got your file. We were so engrossed in each other that I forgot to tell you my name. You never asked either."Melissa said nothing."Can we sit and discuss your job role?""I'm not interested in working for your company." She said for the 100th time."Do you hate me that much?"Melissa rolled her eyes at the sadness she saw in his eyes."15,000 dollars per month plus other benefits. 9 to 5 daily. Your weekends are free except on days when there's so much to do. You will also be going on trips with me once in a while.""Business trips!" He corrected."I want nothing to do with you. Open the door and let me take my leave."Damien ran his fingers through his neatly styled hair. "He wanted her to stay and work for him. He had no idea why he had the urge to keep her close to him but he didn't know what to say to convince her.""Have you got a job elsewhere?""That's non
