Chapter 6 Feeling alive
TEXAS, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA
AT KIARA’S HOUSE
Lila and her boyfriend, Daniel Dantes who is a CEO of a big clothing brand in Texas showed up at Kiara’s house at exactly nine o’clock p.m.
Kiara had rolled her eyes severally when Jessica brought the dress into the office. It was way beyond what she imagined and even Jessica couldn’t help the gasp that escaped her throat at the sight of the dress. It was way too revealing and wasn’t Kiara’s sort of clothing.
“You look so hot! Damn! How could you hide such a beautiful body under baggy wears?!” Lila gasped out.
A bright smile played on Daniel Dante’s face as his eyes did a slow crawl on Kiara’s body. She looked sexy in the tiny strapped short crimson dress. He couldn’t deny that Kiara looked amazing and beautiful. Ever since he knew Kiara, Daniel has never seen her in such an outfit aside casual jeans, sweatshirts, baggy trousers and tops.
“Why on earth did you buy this sort of dress?!” Kiara asked.
“Listen to the back story. When I got to the boutique, this particular dress called out to me and I couldn’t resist. Gosh! You look gorgeous in it! What do you think honey?” She looked at her boyfriend.
Daniel blew her a kiss into the air. “Perfect. The color and dress fits you.” He commented.
“Did you hear that?” Lila winked.
Kiara looked down at her front side, her cleavage were so revealing and she feared that her t**s would be out in the open if she wasn’t careful. She had tried calling Lila in the afternoon to get something else for her to wear but Lila being Lila chose to ignore her calls and reply with a message that she wouldn’t be forgive if anything goes wrong tonight.
“I guess we are good to go!” Lila clapped as she gave her friend a wink.
Kiara grabbed her mini bag and cellphone before following them behind. She hoped that the stiletto heels that came with the outfit won’t end up spraining her ankle. It has been so long. She didn’t stress on doing make up, just putting more effort in styling her hair and making it look good.
**********************************
They stopped at two different areas to pick up Daniel’s friend. He introduced them as Mateo, Gael and Nicole and they didn’t stop complimenting Kiara’s looks and outfit. Mateo especially had taken a seat next to her and he did a great job at doing what he does best while the other drove in Nicole’s car.
Mateo is the most handsome and richest among the trios. He didn’t let Daniel do his introduction instead he chose to entertain Kiara with stories about himself and friends till they got to their destination. The talks and laughters shared elevated Kiara’s spirit and self-esteem. But at the back of her mind, she prayed that her greatest fears won’t resurface as she decided to have some fun.
The club was filled with way too many people in it but they had taken a spot at the VVIP section. Daniel introduced four of his other friends that were present with their partners.
Daniel and his friends excused themselves to have a private discussion, something that has to do with urgent business while the ladies sat together.
Kiara listened to them making a conversation over the loud music...something about their relationship with the guys and s*x talks. It wasn’t really hard for Lila to blend in because she has met most of Daniel’s friends. Kiara wasn’t feeling left out though but just wasn’t interested in the talks. She noticed Nicole ogling over a guy called Kendrick who was also glancing at her
The topics switched to the ladies knowing about Kiara’s life too. And it turned out that she isn’t the only divorcee in the group...they were two others. And they all promised to visit her beauty place.
The guys came back after having long talks and Daniel made a call for more drinks is to be delivered to the table. Mateo was the first to suggest a dance which Kiara didn’t want to hear.
“Dance with me, Kiara.” Mateo requested after some of their friends already joined the dance floor.
“I’ll just wait here.” Kiara replied.
“I feel so hurt by your rejection.” Mateo expressed.
“Come on, you made a promise to me.” Lila snatched her phone and passed it to Daniel who waved it in the air before dropping it in his pocket and he walked away. “I plan to drag your ass to the dance floor.” She dragged her up from the couch and pushed her along to the dance floor even as Kiara tried to protest.
Mateo took over when Lila signaled to him before she joined Daniel to dance. A shiver went down her spine as Mateo snaked his hands around her waist.
“Is it that you do not know how to dance or you just don’t want to do it with me?” He purred into her ears.
She looked at the dance floor, every human in that space were enjoying themselves. Slowly, Kiara began to move to the beat when her gaze met Lila’s own. No doubt, Lila has a hand in Mateo being all over her. She closed her eyes, moving to the beat rhythmically even with Mateo gently rocking her from behind. She didn’t feel comfortable with his closeness. She didn’t want his touch or to feel his breath fanning the sensitive part of her neck.
All of a sudden, Kiara stopped and excused herself before pushing her way through the crowd.
“What’s wrong?” Lila mouthed.
“I don’t know.” Mateo shrugged. “I’ll go after her to find out.” He added.
Kiara was already tired. All she wanted was to be at home, enjoying the comfort her bed would bring to her.
“What time are we to leave this club?” Kiara wondered. She had totally forgot to ask Lila before agreeing to come along. As she watched everyone from the bar stool, Kiara knew her life was so boring but it was solace. She should be asleep by this time. She mused.
Kiara had ordered for chilled water from the bar and also asked for the time which says 12:30 p.m. She gulped down the whole content at a goal. Kiara tried looking for her phone is the mini bag but she remembered Lila had handed it over to Daniel. And she doesn’t want to go back to the dance floor to avoid dancing with Mateo. She would rip off Lila’s head tomorrow.
“Wow! I knew my eyes weren’t deceiving me when I sighted you on the dance floor.” A masculine voice said beside her.
Kiara turned her head sideways and her eyes widened. It was Carlos Osvaldo best friend, Liam.
“You look so f*****g good and your ass and t**s are still sexy as always.” Liam’s whistled as he stared intensely at her chest with lust in his eyes.
Slowly Kiara heartbeat accelerated. This was one of the reasons why she didn’t want to hang out at a club. Carlos has friends everywhere and they all knew about her. He did a great job at showing her off to his friends when everything was still sweet.
“Your ass really look like peach emoji and I love peaches!” Liam laughed at his joke. He leaned closer to place a kiss on her cheeks.
Kiara’s eyes widened. Did he just do that? She froze on the stool when he pulled back and leaned against the counter with a smirk on his face.
