Chapter 8 Late night party

I showered, put on make up, and never went overboard with it. I alway tried to look natural, so i wore my dress and high heels. Bella's instructions were to wear a dress and high heels. At 5:45pm she was already at my house.

Bella drove straight to Vivian's house after her working hours.

"Hey Bby girl. Are you ready Bitch?" Bella shouted immediately she entered.

"Bella is that you, you won't believe how I met my ex," she said, a sly grin spreading across her face.

Bella leaned in, intrigued. "Try me."

Vivian chuckled. "I was interviewing at TTC, for or a Designer position. I was nervous, but determined. As I stepped into the room the receptionist directed me to, I noticed a handsome man sitting in the corner, typing away on his phone."

Bella's eyes widened. "Who was it?"

Vivian paused for dramatic effect. "The CEO, Daniel. Little did I know, our lives were about to become intertwined."

And also we got stuck in an elevator, the elevator lurched to a stop on the 23rd floor. But as the doors refused to budge, panic set in.

"Great, just great," Daniel muttered, trying to call for help.

Vivian laughed nervously. "Well, I guess this is one way to break the ice."

As they waited for rescue, they talked, sharing stories and laughter. Vivian found herself drawn to Daniel's s charming smile and quick wit.

Bella's eyes sparkled. "That's quite a story, Vivian. You always had a knack for drama." Hurry up girl I'll be waiting inside the car.

I replied, "I'll be down in 5 minutes". I was done so i walked towards Bella's vehicle.

"I think you're going to get laid tonight," Bella remarked.

"Oh, please shut up."

Bella drove to the club, which was gigantic. She went to the vip session that she had reserved for us. She placed an order for several drinks. Whatever she ordered, it was delectable and delightfully sweet. I couldn't even tell that i was consuming alcohol.

But as the hours passed, the drinks kept coming, and their judgment began to blur.

Vivian stumbled, spilling her drink on her shirt. Bella giggled, helping her clean up the mess. They staggered to the bar, ordering another round.

"Hey, Vivian. Let's get the party started on the dance floor."

We proceeded to the dance floor. The DJ was playing Sia's unstoppable." I could feel people looking at me. I looked around the dance floor. I became irritated.

I returned to the bar because i was so uptight. The dance floor seemed to be reserved for couples exclusively. I stared at the bartender as it was refreshing and so amazing, but i wanted something strong.

"I want something powerful, "I grumbled as i replaced the drinking glass on the bar counter.

"I can give you a tequila shot," the bartender offers.

"Sure give it to me." I leaned forward as he blasted me with a lemon. "How do you take this?" I inquired, with a grin on my face.

"Gulp down the shot," the guy said. The tequila was burning my throat.

"One more," I said as i repositioned the small glass on the bar counter. He offered me another shot, and i drank it as well. I surveyed the area. I wanted to tweak. I've always been a tweaking monster, and that drink did exactly what i wanted. I returned to the dance floor, this time without caring that it was for the couples. I was wobbling my butt, and i could feel eyes on me again.

Suddenly, Vivian's phone buzzed. She squinted at the screen: Daniel's name flashed on the display.

"Bella, it's Daniel," Vivian slurred, handing her phone to her friend.

Bella's eyes widened. "Is he calling to check up on you?. Answer it!"

Vivian hesitated, but Bella persuaded her to pick up.

"Hey," Daniel said, sounding concerned. How are you doing?"

Vivian's words slurred. "I'm...I'm fine. Just having fun."

Daniel sighed. "Vivian , I think I need to come get you. You sound...not okay."

Vivian's pride kicked in. "No, no, I'm good."

But Daniel insisted. "I'll be there in 20 minutes. Stay put."

Daniel hung up, looking at Bella. "Daniel is coming."

Bella's face fell. "Oops."

When Daniel arrived, Vivian and Bella were leaning on each other, barely standing.

"Wow," Daniel said, shaking his head. "You two are...something."

Vivian tried to protest, but Daniel scooped her up, guiding her to his car. Bella stumbled alongside, giggling.

As they drove home, Vivian's head spun. She couldn't believe Daniel was taking care of her again.

At her apartment, Daniel helped Vivian to the couch, fetching her a glass of water. Bella collapsed beside her, snoring softly.

Daniel sat down, watching them with a mixture of amusement and concern.

"I guess I'm still taking care of the both of you now." Daniel said, smiling wryly.

Vivian's eyes fluttered open. "Sorry," she mumbled.

Bella's expression softened. "Don't apologize, Vivian .
