Alicia heard a knock on her door must be Sally they were supposed to go shopping today and the club later .

She snapped the book shut and ran to the door and let Sally in .

.“ why does this room have the sickening smell of Tristan ?” Sally gave her an inquisitive look.

“ How can you tell he was here? ”

“ Cause it smells of desperation and over use of cologne”

“ I got back from the bank and found him here , apparently he has a key . He came to warn me not to talk to the press about him and our relationship”

Sally huffed “As if ! Oh please he needs to get 

over himself the heck does he think he is ” 

“ First in tomorrow we're changing the locks , were you able to deposit the check ”

“ Yes as soon as they saw the amount I got treated alot differently I'm talking sweet tea and cookies ” they laughed . Alicia grabbed her purse a waved a black Platinum card.

“ Yassss girl ! , Time to go shopping” she jumped up and squealed like a little girl .

They headed to the hair saloon , a high end one of course , they put beautiful highlights into her waist long hair and Alicia got a manicure and pedicure.

Sally just curled her long blonde hair and got a manicure and pedicure.

They moved to expensive boutiques and got high brand shoes , clothes . Next they moved to Sephora and bought every make up item a girl could dream of .

But the time they got home they were exhausted 

,

“ Let's order a pizza pleaseeeee”

“ Is you crazy woman ? We need to look snatched in our tonight's outfits you're the one that needs to get back at her ex ”

“ heyyy , that a low blow ” they chuckled “ but seriously I'm hungry ”

“ Eat a salad at least for tonight and oh! I forgot you need to register in a gym the one down the street some powerful CEO's frequent there”

Alicia huffed “ yes mummy ”

“ You know I could charge you for this top notch advise ”

“ But you won't cause you love me ” she got up pecked Sally on the cheek and made her way to the kitchen to get something to eat .

10:pm

They ordered an expensive car to the club , Sally wore a little ,short black number that hugged her slender figure and intensified her emerald eyes .

Alicia wore a deep red backless short dress that for her like a glove it highlighted her milky skin and curvy petite body .she used a clawclip to hold  her hair let it fall and frame her lovely smymetrical face , opted for nude makeup and a pair of black heels and a purse to match .

They got to the club it was so exotic and full of life .First thing they noticed were the expensive, exotic cars parked outside.

“ We are definitely in the right place , look the plan is to draw as much attention as we can without looking desperate so on the dance floor , put those hips to work ”

“ Yes ma'am”

“ Let's go to the bar and get some drinks to set the mood ”

“ Yaay !!some happy juice ”

The club was electric tonight maybe because it was a Friday night . Alicia and Sally got to the bar and got 2 tequila shots each .

Alicia felt light and tipsy ,Sally dragged her to the dance floor and the atmosphere in the club felt electric. On cue the dj played one of their favorite tunes Taki Taki by Cardi b ft Selena Gomez and Ozuna. 

Alicia swayed her hips gracefully to the beat , all eyes were on her at this point . Men watched with hungry eyes , she felt like she was being watched intensely and she looked up to the upper vip section and saw a masculine figure in the smoky dark.

“ You're owning the dance floor ” Sally screamed over the music . “I’m going to get another drink , keep dancing alot of potentials are watching” 

“okay babes”

Alicia continued dancing , she was really enjoying herself . She felt a tap on her left shoulder.

“excuse me miss ” she turned around it was one of the club attendants . 

“i was asked to invite and escort you to the VIP lounge ”

“by who ? ”Sally immediately reappeared

“ it doesn't matter , it's vip for a reason must be an important person I just hope it's not some bald old man ” she laughed “ just go ” she pushed  her ahead .

“ Okay , but have your cell phone on you incase I need help ”

“Oh don't be a sissy , nothing is going to happen to you here” she rolled her eyes .

Alicia turned to the attendant “lets go ”. This better be worth it , she muttered to herself . The vip section did not disappoint ,the interior decor and lighting was impeccable. It had beautiful private dancers  . It had a great view of the whole club arena due to the fact it was upstairs. 

The attendant led her to a table with some men seated and immediately her eyes fell on the man she had met in the elevator . 

But it's struck immediately that he was not the one that invited her by the look of surprise on his face.

“Well small world, I didn't expect to meet you again today  ” he smiled at her .

A deep voice spoke up “ I see you have also capitivated my younger brother's  attention ”. Alicia turned her attention to him .

“ Oh please don't make her uncomfortable ,sit please”

“This is my elder brother Dimitri ”

Dimitri extended his hand “ may I have the pleasure of knowing your name ?”

“ Ali… Alicia ” his hand completely covered hers as they shook . The man Dimitri is physically impressive, he and his brother bear a striking resemblance but Dimitri is definitely the more attractive brother . 

“ I won't lie you caught my eye and I'm curious about you ” Dimitri’s phone rang and he excused himself.He came back and spoke a foreign language the men on the table stood up , Dylan too

“ See you around Alica ” he smiled .

Dimitri continued. “ I have to apologize , I have urgent business to attend to that requires my immediate attention ” he brought out a sleek black card and extended it to her .

“ This is my personal contact , please call me I'll be expecting to hear from you ” . He took her hand and kissed it , stood up to make his way out .

He noded and an attendant appeared “ clear all her bills and make sure , she gets home safe ”

“ Yes boss ”

With that he disappeared . Alicia sat there feeling dazed for a while and made her way back downstairs to the main area. 

Alexander Kings  stood in the dark area of the vip section where he had been watching Alicia , still watching her even as she made her way downstairs.
