Celebration 9

"Let us go and celebrate. It will be just us. Alex had a late client", she told me.

I remember last time her boyfriend told her this. He was meeting his wife. They were in a relationship for six months. How he managed to be with them both I had no idea. But I think he told her that his wife who kept calling him all the time was his secretary. I doubted him the moment he told me that lie. I knew he held a small post at his office and there is no way they will give him a secretary. So I encouraged to attend her phone and the rest was history.

"I know where should we go", I told her.

"You don't have to say. If you really want to see him then why can't you call him?", she asked me.

I know she is right. If I wanted to meet him I should have called him instead of going to a club he usually visited and hoping that he would come. But the last time we met at the club I saw him with a woman. So I wanted to check whether he is with her again. I know it is a long shot. But something told me that he wasn't a date kind of a guy. He would take woman to clubs. I suspect it is because he doesn't want to talk to his date. He is one of those strong and silent guy. My weak point is that I couldn't deny my attraction to him. I was so obvious but he wasn't. If he waits for my call like he said he would instead of parading his date in a club then I would chose him. I would even give him my virginity with no regrets. It didn't matter that he doesn't love me or we hadn't had a proper date. But faithfulness from my partner is one thing I couldn't forsake.

This time I asked Bi for a dress. She gave me several options and I chose the perfect combination of sultry and classy. I want to look perfect. I only prayed one thing that he is not at the club flaunting his date. If not then I was his completely.

"Why are you standing in front of the door like a bouncer?", asked Bi.

"Nothing", I murmured and followed her inside. It was as crowded as usual. It didn't appeal me at all. I looked at Bi who was already swaying her body to the music.

"I'm going to dance. Will you come?", she asked.

"No I will sit there", I told her. She nodded her head and gave me a flying kiss. Then jogged to the group of dancers. I went there and sat in the seat. To my relief no one creepy spotted me yet. So I was relaxing a little bit. But it all came crashing down to me when I saw Harry. All my hopes were dashed he is here and Cara is somewhere. What kind of a guy was he if he couldn't wait one more day for a call. He is here with someone alone proves how much desperate for sex was he? I was not going to be another notch in his bed post. I'm more than that. I will never allow myself to get degraded. I kept my head down so he wouldn't spot me. But he caught me easily enough because I was one of the few people who were sitting. He started to come towards. I looked for Bi but she was out of my eyes. I looked around and saw that my escape route is too crowded with people. If it becomes too much then I will go without Bi. I'm sure she will be very much pissed especially I dragged her here and there wasn't Alex to take her back. Bi liked to drink while clubbing. I drink very little and drew no pleasure from it so I mostly doesn't drink and became the designated driver for Bi.

He came near me and I breathed in his familiar masculine and pine scent. I still didn't look at his face and played on my phone hoping that he goes away.

"Are you seriously ignoring me?", he asked me.

"No", I said quietly.

"Then why are you not looking at me or talk to me", he asked me.

"I don't want to talk right now", I answered him.

"Do you still have my number?", he asked me.

"Yes", I told him.

"Then why the he'll haven't you called me yet", he asked me.

"Please go away. You are here on a date. It is inappropriate to ignore her to talk to me", I told him. Maybe his date will endure it considering the fact that he was very rich. But I won't be like that. I can't not see things before my eyes.

"Have you seen my beautiful date yet?", he asked me.

"No", I told him.

"Thank God. I thought you were going to blame that I'm out with every woman present here. I didn't bring anyone here. I waited for your phone call all this time. But you didn't call me. So I thought of coming here to check whether you are here", he said.

I looked at him surprised and also little ashamed for assuming. He looked a little angry at my words. I didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry", I told him.

"I don't need your sorry", he said.

"I was going to call you but have to bring Bi here as a celebration", I told him.

"What are we celebrating?", he asked.

"My new job", I said a little shy.

"Good. Then let us order some Champagne ", he told me.

"I can't drink. I have to drive Bi home", I told him.

"Alright then. Now the misunderstandings are cleared may I know when will you go on a date with me?", he asked me.

"I would like to go on a date with you. I'm sorry again", I told him.

"I would like a kiss more than your sorry. But I will wait for it", he told me with a smile. My heart started fluttering away. I couldn't help but answer his smile with mine.
