Chapter Nine : Ladies Night Out

Veronica’s POV

It’s been three weeks since I started college. And I have done nothing but buried myself in studying. This is the only thing that keeps me distracted from thinking about Bruno.

I feel cheated . But at the same time I am starting to develop feelings for him . This is morally wrong. I’m not supposed to have this sort of feelings for him .like

“That’s it . Vera you need to stop thinking les lolpp this man “ said my only friend Sarah.

stellar is a short petite lady with very light blond hair .

I met Stellar at a small cafe shop close to my university. Stellar is also obsessed with coffee like me . Her obsession with computers made our bond grow stronger.

Unlike me, Stellar is bold , confident and jovial . She’s someone who everyone will like to be friends with unlike the weird quiet reserved girl like me .

Stellar has been invited to every party both on campus and those organized in clubs .

She’s also very popular among the male population of the university. Her curves made her more attractive .

She has thick curves in all the right places that made her receive a lot of attention from various categories of guys all the time. While I maintained the identity as Steller's weird friend.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not jealous of Stella. She has such an amazing personality that you can’t find it to hate her or be jealous of her .

She insisted on calling me Vera . According to her, Veronica is too long to pronounce. Once again she caught me deep in thought . Thinking about Bruno has become a habit of mine . I have tried all possible ways to get him off my mind .

“I’m not thinking about him Stellar “ I said even though I know she can’t buy my lie . I haven’t spoken to anyone about Bruno except stellar since she’s the only friend I currently have . But I didn’t drop the details of how he is actually my stepbrother.

“Yeah yeah and I’m a turtle “ she said with sarcasm. Admitting defeats I said

“You are right, stellar. I just can’t seem to get him off my mind . When I close my eyes to sleep, all I see . Thank goodness he’s not affecting my studies . I still manage to keep very good and impressive grades .

“I have just the solution for. You need to let loose for a change . Go out and have fun, don't lock yourself up and bury yourself in your studies Vera . You practically the real definition of non-existent “

“That’s not true, how can you say that ?”

“Really now ? I don’t think you own a social media account. You don’t go out except when necessary. You don’t talk to anyone apart from me ..”

“That’s enough. What solution could you possibly have to my problem?”

“Clubbing “ she said with a smile so wide that I think she might actually hurt her lips . Honestly clubbing and parties aren’t actually my thing .

“No I think I will pass this one “

“Common Vera just this once . Please let’s go on a ladies night out . I know the hot club where celebrities and famous people usually hang out. It’s a club for cool and influential people to hang out .

After much presumptm I finally gave in .

Stellar did her hair first, she curled the edges and did a complicated clip at the front, left some few strands of hair which ended up curling.

Moving forward to doing mine, she first of all flat ironed it to make it straight before she did complicated curls at the edges and the front. The hair looks like a combination of bridal, sexy and elegant. It fits my taste accurately. I could hardly recognize myself. I looked different. She applied makeup on my face even though I wanted to make myself up.

Finishing the makeup, she rushed to her room to get the dresses she ordered for us.

My dress was black and short. It was not too short but was short in a comfortable way. It hugged my body like a second skin. It enhanced my curves, bringing out a sexy, sophisticated and elegant style. It had diamonds around it. Stellar chose a dark purple dress for herself and paired it with red heels. I chose a black heel which made look taller than I am . We ordered an Uber in case things got messy tonight and got drunk to drive. . We grabbed our phones and purses and headed down to the driveway. The Uber man turned out to be a middle aged man with four kids and a granddaughter. His wife left him for his childhood friend who currently owns three effective companies. He is really a jouval man who kept talking throughout the ride. We were able to know a lot of things about him within the few moments we had with him. The ride to the club is a forty five minutes drive. It is located in the richest part of the country. The club is called Vegas on earth . The club exterior is a color of red, black and and white. It has touches of some colors around it. It consists of four floors. We offered the Uber driver a huge tip to cover up all the entertainment he gave us during the ride. We headed to the entrance and showed our tickets at the entrance. A staff accompanied us to the fourth floor where the most expensive vips were located. I was shocked at the treatment we are receiving. How could she spend a lot of money just to celebrate my graduatioDuring the ride to the fourth floor, I had to ask her where she got the money from. My conscience bothers me a lot.

I wanted to ask stellar a question but the elevator door opened and we were ushered in at the entrance. We were served with tequila. Stellar and I spotted an empty spot where we made ourselves comfortable. We order two rounds of drinks to make us ready for the night. The first male my eyes landed on is a very fat, potbellied and ugly man. There is no way I'm going to hook up with someone like this.

The drink burned down my throat enough to make me come alive. I took another shot and I can feel all my hormones resurfaced. It is as if they have been dead the whole time. I was definitely sure that Stellar was feeling the same way. I didn't know what the drink has done to me but I was suddenly feeling very excited.

“ Let’s go and dance, “ stellar shouted. The music was getting loud.

“ Sure, “ I responded. We moved to the dance center and started dancing. I was swaying my hips and doing all sorts of flirtatious dance movements. I can see the hunger in their eyes. I knew I’m sexy and I can also give a good dance show. Suddenly I can feel the air around me changed. It was more welcoming and calm. It smelt of power and dominance. I can feel sensual all over my body. Butterflies in my stomach. I felt a hand grab my waist encircling it. Sparks were all over. His scent was manly and emitted a powerful aura around him.

Turning over to see who the person was. I received the shock of my life.
