Chapter 2

Present

All I could sense and feel was darkness. Pitch black. Then I felt something vibrating, from a distance.

What is that?

A vibrator?

Oh shut up!  I don't have one. You're my conscience. You're supposed to be smart.

Well then open your eyes and see.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw I was still in my room. But it was dark. It's evening already?!

I quickly picked up my phone and saw Mira calling. This girl I tell you.

"Talk."

"Woah. Someone's in a bad mood. "

" You betcha. "

" Dude you didn't even call me after you returned from London. I hate you so much right now. You don't get to play the victim of having a bad mood. If anyone's in a bad mood it should be me. Best friend not calling. Neither talking. Almost getting fired from my job-"

" WHAT THE HELL MIRANDA!  You almost got fired from your job?! "

" Yes, princess. Now hurry up and get ready in an hour. We're going out. I seriously need to go to the club today. It was so stressful . And yes, milady,  don't worry, I'll tell you the entire story when we meet. Okay? "

I thought for a second. Clubs weren't really my place. It might as well increase this migraine like headache. But well, my best friend needs me.

"Okay. ", I sighed.

"See you there,babe !"

I giggled and put down my phone. Probably, this won't be a bad idea after all. Be with my best friend and alcohol and music. Hmmm. Okay!

I ran to the bathroom and freshened up. Then I went back to my wardrobe to find something decent yet sexy to wear. After a lot of debate I settled with a sleeveless back short dress.

I paired it up with my go-to black heels.

After I was done and was just giving my final touches, I heard a car honk, and instantly knew that it was Miranda.

Taking my purse, I skipped the stairs and ran down. Well,  I must be some superhuman to not trip and fall wearing those heels.

" Mom!  I'm going out with Miranda. Will be late. Bye! Don't stay up, I have keys! "

I rushed out of the house before she could answer or ask anything else.

" Hey you. "

" Hey amiga! " , she smiled.

We arrived at Bleu and were instantly welcomed by the smell of alcohol and sweat ,and loud music. We took our seats and ordered a few drinks.

" So, tell me. ", I said.

She sighed. " Okay. So today I was at the cafe, minding my own business. And then this guy comes in, barges in rather ,talking on the phone and asks for a black coffee. From the looks, I'm positive he was some tight- ass , rich and spoilt kid,",she rolled her eyes,"Whatever,  moving on, I took the cup to him and he was facing his back towards me and still talking with someone. I called him and he turned and his hand unconsciously hit the cup,  spilling the coffee on his coat sleeve. What a careless freak!

Then he went blah bleh blah and the manager arrived and then this guy had the nerve of threatening me with the i-will-sue-you thing. I mean,  what a jerk! He spilled his own bloody coffee! The manager went all mad at me. And said this was the last time he's tolerating this. Save me from killing someone today. Cause I already feel like it."

" Im so sorry Mira. I wish I could smack his face right now. "

" Enough about me. What's your deal? "

Just then On the floor song started and people rushed to the dance floor to take their positions.

"C'mon , this song is my favorite. Let's go Ash. Yaaayy! " , she literally screamed while pulling me to the floor.

We both swayed our hips to the rhythm and got lost in the music. It was blaring loud and we had to scream to talk to each other. And I've got to say this, Miranda has got some crazy moves and I noticed that she has grown a bit curvy, not fat,  but really a good figure.

I saw her abruptly stopping and looking at something behind me.

Her eyes went wide.

" Oh dear lord, dont tell me it's my mother. " , I yelled to her .

" It's  HIM!  "

" Him?  Him who? "

She pulled me out of the crowd and went to the other side.

" That's him!  The gu- jerk I was talking about! "

" Where? ", I said looking around. Cause once I find him, I'm gonna kick him at places he'll never forget. How dare he threaten my best friend.

" There!  " , she said pointing towards left.

I saw four guys , each sitting  with a girl, more like bimbos, who were literally eating up there faces.

I mentally gagged at this and then my eyes fell on someone I wish it never did.

Sitting at the center,  he was kissing a girl, more like her kissing him,  cause he was talking on the phone.

" Liam? " ,I whispered to myself.

And then he looked at me. Hazel meeting blue.

Shit.
