chapter one
Have been at the cocktail party for about thirty minutes now,I was invited by a girlfriend of mine,my dad friends daughter.everyone seemed to be having fun,guys checking out the girls, ladies dancing, people drinking and a nice hip hop song playing loudly.
I could feel a soft tap on my shoulder,it's Julie
"Hey Lora,why are you sitting here all alone?" She asked
"No reason,just chilling" i said sounding casual
You should join us, you know there's this guy I want you to meet.she said this drawing my attention to a guy standing by the bar.
i could barely see his face cuz of the distance.
"Umm Julie some other time"
"Common, you just can't sit here doing nothing!! You have to come with me, please??"
i knew she was concerned so I
agreed.
"Alright".i said getting up almost immediately.
then I get this sharp pain in my head,am starting to feel funny,i have to make a quick excuse.
"Umm Julie go on without me,I Will catch up with you soon,I need to use the bathroom"
i said this already walking away, don't really know what she said but I know she gave a response.
I tried my best to walk through the waiters, people, tables, my body slightly insanely itchy but still tried to act normal and keep my cool.
Finally in the bathroom
Luckily no one was here,just me.i quickly opened my purse with some of it's content falling off ( lipstick and money)but I didn't care.i searched ernestly till I found it(a paper wrapping with powdered substance in it)I quickly took a sniff and allowed it to sink into me,I relaxed my head on the sink for some seconds then Immediately wrapped it and placed it into my purse, don't want some one seeing me.i cleaned up my face to avoid any suspicion, picked up my lipstick and money that fell earlier and washed my hands.
Am out of the bathroom now looking as normal, beautiful, charming and peckish as before.i took a glance through the big club filled with guest and I spotted Julie by the bar I walked towards them wearing a smiling face not minding the attention I got from the guys I walked passed.
"Hey!". i said to nobody In particular
"Oh Lora,have a seat".she said this drunkenly
I sat on one of the bar stools.
Lora this is George, George this is Lora,she said this making hand gestures
"Hello Lora,nice meeting you".george said wearing a childish smile.
"Ya, pleasure is all mine".i said not feeling really interested.
'You have beautiful eyes lora"
(I got this alot cuz I had almond shaped eyes)
george still giving that childish smile with his teeth showing like he's contesting for world's best teeth shiner or should I say world's largest front teeth cuz I couldn't help but notice his extremely large front teeth, they are indeed the largest have seen in 22 good years of my life.
I asked for a shot from the bartender without giving or saying a thank you to George for the compliment.
Julie tells the bartender to give her another shot and I quickly tell him not to cuz she was way too drunk now.
Julie that's enough.i said trying stop her from drinking more.
She has always had this problem of drinking even before i met her at the club 2 years ago,its a habit now.dont really know why and I tend to mind my business, Don't want anyone poking into mine.
George sits besides me and gets a shot for himself
"So.......got a favourite hobby Lora?"
"Oh,I Know,I know..at her house,Lora likes to listen to her headphones and sing aloud on her undies"
julies said this under the influence of alcohol with no intentions of hurting my feelings.
I turned with disgust and gave Julie a scornful look.i hate telling personal stuffs to strangers,don't care if Julie knows him.
With this I drank the alcohol in a gulp and banged the glass on the bar table
"Julie let's go, I will drop you off at your house" i already got up clenching to my purse
"No!!!!". she said under the influence of alcohol."i don't wanna go"
"Fine!!!!" I said this walking away
"Hey!! at least give me your number?"
George said this real loud but I pretended I didn't hear him and continued walking passed the guys who stared seductively at me,I just gave a warely smile and continued walking.
i was out of the club now and I spotted my car,a grey coloured BMW
I stopped when I got to the car door and turned to see if Julie was coming.she was as usual holding her heels and swaying left to right,just what I had expected.i walked towards her and helped her into the front seat of the car then I entered and started the car.i made sure Julie's seat belt was on before driving out of the lot and hitting the road.it was dark already,around 8:00pm,I dropped Julie off at her apartment before driving off to my own house;an expensive condo.according to my dad"one of the many toys you get for having extremely wealthy parents
