We entered Copa, the new bar which was on every millennial's list since it opened two weeks back. Luckily, Justin knew the bartender so he sorted out our entries without us even getting our fake ID. I was looking forward to tonight because it had been a long time since we drank and partied without caring about college and work. I was wearing this new dress I bought with Dany from Almore's last week and I loved how it looked on me. Thanks to my mom who is a health freak, in her words always motivating me to work out and eat healthy but according to me being a pain in my ass 24/7. Regardless, I love her.
The interior of the club screamed class. The people around us were dressed so well and I automatically understood that we were surrounded by the rich. I felt a bit under dressed and out of place. Justin was one of the rich, he lived in San Rodiez which was the rich locality of our town. His parents were always out of town and never considerate towards him which prevented him from being uptight. He hanged out with us, even though we weren't even close to his family's net worth.By us, I meant, Benjamin, Dany, Alicia and I. We've been best friends since we were babies and I was extremely happy. I never needed to make new friends or fit in because I was always satisfied in what I already had.
"Let's start with shots!", Dany announces over the table. Alicia and I agreed and Justin went to get them from the bar. "Look at the men around Bells, it's a feast!" she whispers into my ear and I playfully tap her shoulder. I looked around and the men were really something else, everyone wore shirts or suits. It was a bit weird because I expected some of them to dress a bit casually. All of them were dressed as if there was going to be a wedding. Or a funeral.
I saw Dany eyeing a handsome man at the dance floor. She's extremely smooth when it comes to flirting and picking men up but very selective too. "Go for it", I say while nudging her shoulder. She smiles at me and says, "No babe, my first dance is going to be with you only".
Justin comes back with the shots and we all get up excitedly. "Here's to eleven years of friendship, I love you babies", Alicia screams as we pick up the shots. "Not in my ear, idiot", says Ben as he rubs his ear. "You're an idiot". "You're the bigge-" "Guys, stop. We're here to party. It's been so long since we've done anything together. Let's all get wasted tonight because we're crashing at Justin's anyway. So who is in?" Dany say. We all agree and raise our shots. The vodka shot burns my throat but I'm loving it. I feel goosebumps on my skin and I know it's going to be a long night. You know those moments in your life when you just want to enjoy the moment and not worry about anything else? That's exactly what I was feeling.
Dany drags me to the dance floor which was crowded and we start dancing. She's looking sexy in her lilac dress and she has that type of a beauty which makes you look twice. We start swaying our hips and I let the alcohol do it's work. We laugh as we do the same dance moves on the songs playing.
I look towards the bar, hoping to find Justin when I saw a man sitting at the bar. He was wearing a rich black suit which showed off his muscles underneath. His face was perhaps the most beautiful face I had ever seen. He was looking sideways and even from such a distance, I could see that he had a perfect jawline. He had a broad chest, few of the buttons of his shirt were open and he screamed royalty. He looked at the dance floor and our eyes met. He didn't smile or make any gesture. He just looked right at me, into my eyes. It felt like it was only the two of us in the room, some sort of energy pulling us to each other.
I smiled at him from across the bar because I couldn't deal with the tension between us. I smiled hoping he would reciprocate but he didn't. He kept looking at me, directly into my soul. How is it possible to get intimidated by someone you don't even know? I looked down and gulped and broke the eye contact. I realized Dany wasn't around me. I looked back and saw her dancing with the man she was flirting with before. I chuckled to myself and moved towards my table.
"She's way out of your league", Alicia said while looking at a girl on the dance floor.
"Oh really?", said Ben with a frown. They were still arguing and they do it all the time. "Oh hey Bells, where's Dany?"
I pointed over to Dany who was now grinding that guy. We laughed as we saw them. I saw there was a cocktail on the table so I reached out and tasted a sip. It was delicious. I looked over towards the bar and that man was not there anymore. I looked around the club but I couldn't find him. He left, I guess. A part of me didn't want him to leave but another part of me was glad that he wasn't here. Something about him didn't seem right.
"Do y'all want any more drinks?", I asked them. They said no. "By the way, where is Justin?", I asked. "He met some guys from work so he went with them. He sounded serious. They took him to that room and he's yet not come out", Alicia said while pointing to the room above the staircase. "You know how secretive he is about work, sometimes I feel he supplies drugs", she laughs. I looked over to that room. Justin has always been very secretive about his work. Whenever I used to ask him, he used to just shrug it off and change the topic.
Anyways, I headed to the bar and waited as the bartender made my drink. I hummed along the lyrics of the song which was playing and I felt something behind me. I turned and I saw the same man who caught my eyes earlier. With him close, I could see his features and his face perfectly. He was tall, must be 6'2 over my 5'4 height. His nose was perfectly shaped, his eyes were a deep brown color and his lips were pink, kissable. I had never seen anyone as handsome as him. His hair were a chestnut brown in color, some of it touching his forehead giving him a messy look. His aura screamed dominance and power just by the way he sat and held that glass of scotch. I gulped as he was too close to me, I couldn't think of saying anything.
