Chapter 1 : Date?

THIRD PERSON'S POV :

Jessica is waiting outside the Club and just surfing her mobile so that she couldn't get bored of waiting for her friend, Alina.

Alina entered and searched for her friend and when she found her, she called Jessica by her name while waving at her but she didn't respond as she was busy surfing her mobile.

Alina approached Jessica and tapped her forehead with her index finger to get her attention. Jessica came back to the world and raised her head to see the person who dared to hit her head and when she saw her best friend who was looking at her amusedly, a smile formed on her face but it was instantly replaced with a pout as she started rubbing her forehead. "What was that for?" Jessica asked Alina.

"To wake up your brain," Alina answered. "But it doesn't seem like you have one," Alina said with a smirk and Jessica frowned.

"Whatever, just tell me how it went?" Jessica asked Alina.

"What?" Alina questioned her.

"What do you mean, what? Obviously, I'm talking about your date." Jessica asked.

Alina sighed before she spoke, "Awful...." She crossed her arms over her chest and said "....and it's all because of you."

"But, what did I do?" Jessica asked. "I am not even there with you at that time." She complained.

"Yeah, but who forced me to go on a date with him?" Alina asked.

"Of course, it's m-...." Jessica stopped in mid sentence, "....Wait wait, what does it have to do with me? I just thought he was good. That's why I forced you to go on a date." Jessica answered back.

Alina sighed, "yeah, he is a good guy but you know, I'm still not ready."

"You are always busy with work and you are missing all the fun, Alina. I just want you to let go of your insecurities and live happily," Jessica said full of concern in her Voice. "That's why I forced you to go."

"I know that you are worried about me, Jess. But I don't want a relationship right now. And I'm having fun with my work. I love it." Alina answered back.

"You are not a high school girl, Alina. You are already 24, why don't you want a relationship?" Jessica asked.

"I do want it, but not now. I don't want to go to random dates. I just want to focus on my work now. When I really think I'm ready for a relationship then I'll do it okay." Alina concluded. "Besides, I'm just 24, not 60, idiot. You don't have to sound like I'm too old."

Jessica chuckled and said, "Okay fine, it's your life. All I want is the best for you."

"I know Jess, you are my best friend and I know that you are worried about me. I'll try my best, okay." Alina said with a warm smile.

Jessica also smiled and hugged Alina "Okay let's go, let's have some fun."

"Yeah, I badly need a drink after this awful day." Alina sighed.

Jessica laughed at her comment and they both entered the club. The music is loud and everyone inside are enjoying their drinks and dancing like there is no tomorrow. Everyone would wait for the weekend so that they can relax and have fun with their family and friends after a long tiring week.

Jessica and Alina directly went to the bar and waved at the bartender to get his attention to order the drinks.

"Good Evening beautiful ladies, what can I get for you?" Tony, the bartender greeted them and asked.

"Hey, good evening." they both greeted him back.

"I want tequila shots and what about you Alina?" Jessica asked Alina while ordering herself a drink.

"Vodka", Alina answered.

"Okay ladies, just a few minutes I'll get your drinks." Tony, the bartender said with a smile.

After a few minutes, the bartender placed their drinks on the counter. "There you go. Enjoy the night." he winked before he left. Alina and Jessica took their respective glasses and chuckled.

Jessica is drinking her shots while Alina is having only one drink.

Alina is saying something but Jessica seemed to be lost in her own thoughts while drinking her shots nonstop and didn't listen at all.

Alina noticed her and said, " Slow down Jess."

Jessica didn't answer. So, Alina tapped her shoulder to get her attention and it worked. Jess came back to the world from her trance of thoughts.

"Okay, spill it now. What are you hiding from me?" Alina asked while crossing her arms over her chest.

"W-what? I'm not hiding anything." Jessica stuttered.

Alina stared at her and asked again, "Then, Why are you zoning out?"

"It's nothing", Jessica answered.

Alina sighed and asked, "What happened Jess? Why do you look so sad? Please tell me, it worries me to see you like this. Is it because of your boyfriend?"

Jessica sighed and thought that she was already caught so she answered, "Yes, it's about him...." She took a shot again and said "....we broke up today."

It's obvious on Alina's face that she was shocked after hearing that. But she restrained herself and asked, "Why so sudden?"

Jessica ordered one more drink and said, "because he.. he cheated on me", a tear escaped from her eyes. "I caught him today when I went to his house, he cheated on me with his so-called best friend." She sighed, "I don't know why but I never liked her from the start but he always says that she is just a friend. And today when I caught him, he still said that's not what it looks like. Do I like a stupid?" another drop of tear escaped her eyes. "So I broke up with him."

Alina's face is filled with anger and just wanted to punch him in the face and kick him in his family jewels for hurting her best friend. "Don't tell me that you just broke up with him and came here," Alina asked gritting her teeth.

"Do you think that I'll let him get away with that easily?" Jessica asked. "He got what he deserved."

"What did you do?" Alina asked furrowing her eyebrows.

Jessica smirked, "A few punches in the face to make him remember whenever he saw his face in the mirror and a kick in his precious place just like you thought in your brain right now. Am I right?"

Alina nodded and laughed, "that's my girl."

"He just want to play with my feelings so he got what he deserved. No one dared to play with our feelings and gets away without a lesson." Jessica said with a shrug.

Alina placed her hand on Jessica in a comforting way and asked "Are you okay, Jess?"

Jessica smiled warmly at her and said, "yeah I'm okay, actually now I know why I never got comfortable with him because he was just faking his personality."

Alina nodded, "I'm glad that you got to know his true colours."

"Maybe all the guys are like that", Jessica said with full of sadness on her face.

"Don't think like that Jess, not all the men are same. Some of them are nice too, you have to wait for the right person." Alina said.

"Omg, did I hear right? I heard that for the first time from your mouth." Jessica asked with a shocking face.

"Okay okay, stop it. I just stated the truth. You know, Lorenzo is a great guy and you know it too so I said not all the men are same." Alina answered back. " Oh wait, why don't you date Lorenzo?"

"Eh, not my type. I know he is a great guy but he will be always my good friend." Jessica said and a thought came to her mind. "why don't you date him, you two look good together and perfect for each other."

"Hey stop right there, you are already drunk and talking nonsense. You know that we are best friends and I treat him like a brother." Alina stated.

"Okay okay, I know... hik... I know. Looks- hik..like I'm really dru- hik – nk....hik ...." Jessica answered in between hiccups.

"Okay girl, stop drinking now and let's go, You are pretty much drunk." Alina took Jessica's glass and gave her some water.

"But I want to dance now", Jessica pouted.

"This girl", Alina muttered. "Only 5 minutes, okay?"

"Wohoo, thank you, Lina. I love you." Jessica kissed Alina on her cheek and started running towards the dance floor.

"Oh no, stop running Jess or you'll fall on the floor," Alina shouted. "Uff, this girl will be the death of me."

Alina followed Jessica towards the dance floor and both of them started dancing, freeing up their minds with joyful and loud music.
