You need to get laid

Daisy

“Babe, are you okay? You seem a bit off.” Hope asked as we walked out the front door. 

“Yeah, of course, I’m okay. I’m just… excited I guess. You know, the party and all. I can’t wait to forget all about Perry.” I replied, forcing out a smile. 

“That’s my girl, and you’re going to love it. I’m going to make sure of that.” She chimed in. 

We hopped in the car and zoomed off. I was so glad Hope got on a call immediately. She would have tried talking to me and I wasn’t in the mood for that at all. I was so mad at Tony… no, he isn’t even at fault. I am the one making him feel so full of himself to the extent of treating me this way. And can I even blame myself? I get weak anytime I’m around him, one look at him and every bit of anger always vanishes. He has so much control over me and I hate myself for it. I have to find a way to get him out of my head and get back control. 

“I really need to do something about this…”

“What did you say?” Hope suddenly quizzed while I turned to her. I had no idea I was thinking out loud.

“Huh… nothing.” I chimed in. 

We were soon at home and we hurried inside. We were halfway prepared with the hair, nails and face care. All we had to do was makeup and get in our dresses. Or so I thought, until Hope pulled out her drawer full of makeup kits. She spent over three hours on just my face, stroking different brushes and rubbing different powders on my face.

At a point, I was confused but she wouldn’t stop. That was my first time doing a full glam makeup and I had no idea it took that much work or time. 

“Now, you can look.” She finally said and then turned the chair around so I could look in the mirror.

“Oh my goodness…” I gasped as I stared at the person in front of me. 

I looked totally different, it was still my face but an upgraded version. I looked so damn beautiful… too beautiful even.

“Gorgeous, right?” She asked while I remained mute. I just couldn’t find the right word to describe what I felt.

“You like it?”

“Like? Hope, I f*cking love it!” I finally found my voice. 

“I’m glad you do. Now, go get into your dress while I fix my own face.” She said.

I got out of the chair and then went on to wear my dress. We both picked out a black sequin short dress and it fitted perfectly. 

I gave myself a once-over and couldn’t stop drooling over how gorgeous I looked. My curves were sitting nicely in my dress and somehow, I was so eager to see the look on the boys when they see me.

God, I really wish Tony could see me right now, it would make his heart flutter and I would have even made it worse by ignoring him. You know, pretend like I don’t know he’s watching or that I see the effect my sexy body was having on him. That would have been such a badass revenge move. I just want him to feel what I feel when he teases me…

“Babe?? What are you doing in there? We are going to be late!” Hope suddenly called out while I then rushed out.

“My goodness… did I like spend hours in there? Girl, you’re all dressed up, and damn gorgeous too!” I exclaimed once I saw her fully dressed, face all beat up, and looking like my favorite ice cream flavor.

“I know right! I’m really fast when working on my face. Let’s go now before it’s too late. A lil bit late is just okay, we want the boys already there by the time we get there so they can drool while we walk in!” She let out loud.

I only giggled and then stood still while she bathed me in her cologne. We made for the door immediately while she kept smiling happily.

Hope drove and in a couple of minutes, we were there at the party. She pulled me along to the entrance where some girls in bikinis handed us shots. I looked at Hope and she signaled me to take it. I was still staring weirdly at it when Hope reached for the second shot and downed it like it was nothing.

“Babe, you need this so you can enjoy yourself tonight. It’s going to help clear your head and loosen your nerves. The theme tonight is unhinged, and remember why you’re here… to forget that stupid fool and get someone new… and maybe, even get laid…”

“Hope!” I exclaimed while she just giggled.

“What? I’m only trying to help here. You get over a man by getting under…”

“Uhn uhn… no one is getting under anyone tonight.” I cut in sharply while she rolled her eyes playfully.

“We’ll see about that then. Come, let’s get you in these boys faces.” She chimed in and they dragged me inside. I was still holding my shot, and sipping it like it was some juice.

The setting inside was really awesome, and the guys really had their eyes on us. I was a bit shy but not Hope. She wasn’t avoiding their stares like I was, she stared back and even winked at a few ones. We stopped at a counter and she hugged a guy there from behind, swinging him from side to side.

“Hope?” The guy said as he finally turned around to face us.

“How did you know?” Hope asked, smiling so hard

“Because you’re the only one with such soft touch and effect on me. Besides, your smell, it’s registered here.” He said, tapping his head slowly.

“I know right, custom made for the only Hope Grenier!” She replied, before crashing into his arms for a hug.

He finally looked in my direction then, and it felt like I saw something in those eyes… like he was mesmerized. He couldn’t even look away and I had to tear my eyes apart from his handsome face. I was starting to get nervous but I didn’t want him to see that.

When they finally released each other, he cleared his throat loudly, while nodding in my direction. Hope got the hint too and then smiled.

“Ohh yeah, pardon me please… Daisy, this is my friend, Jack, the one I told you about. And Jack, this is my best friend, Daisy.” Hope let out while I stretched out my hands to him but he pulled me into a warm embrace instead.

I wasn’t expecting that at all and on any other night, I would have pushed him away. But then, I just couldn’t do that. It was so warm and it felt like what I desperately needed. He smelled so nice too, and his chest, broad enough to contain me nicely. For a second there, I forgot myself and made myself too comfortable. I rested my head on his chest while he sniffed my head. That was when I came back to myself and pulled back.

“It’s nice to meet you, Daisy. You’re so… beautiful. I don’t think I’ve been exposed to such perfection in a long while.” He chimed in while I smiled, trying so hard not to blush but my face failed me. Not only was I grinning from ear to ear, my cheeks were burning pink.

“Ohh really? That’s how you’re going to play this? I’m not perfect enough for you?” Hope jealousy cut in. Of course, she was only being playful and it was funny so we just laughed it off.

“You know that’s not what I mean, Queen.” He replied.

“I know right, you know what? I’m just going to leave you two alone and then go find myself a man too.” Hope chimed in. 

The two hugged again and she left, not before winking at me though, and mouthing some words to me that I couldn’t even hear. I knew they were dirty though.

“So, Daisy, it’s nice to meet you again.” Jack finally pulled my attention back.

“Yeah, right. It’s nice to meet you too, I’ve heard so many things about you.” I replied while he then stopped and stared in my eyes.

“Ohh really? Good things I hope?” 

“Do you have bad sides of things to you?” I asked too.

“Hmmmn… I love the energy!” He retorted while I just smiled. 

“Going to take that?” He asked and that was when I remembered I still had the shot with me. 

I was about gulping it when my phone beeped. I swiped up and it was a text from Hope.

“Don’t hold back baby, a quickie will def relax your nerves!” The next two lines were laughing emojis and I didn’t know when I laughed too. 

“What’s funny?” He asked suddenly while I looked up. I had no idea he had gotten that close and by the time I knew, my lips were already on his!!!
