Chapter 2

NICOLE

“You really have no idea?” she asked shaking her head in disbelief. Where was Lisa looking at when Steven was talking with us

“I also noticed that” I told them

 “What?” Lisa asked clearly annoyed that we were dragging the matter.

Mila was annoyed at Lisa as the latter didn’t notice the attention she was getting. “Are you blind, didn’t you see how steven was literally undressing you while we were in front of him? Even virgin Mary here saw that.” Okay I hate that name. Lisa looked kind of shocked as if she couldn’t believe what was being said.

“Of course, you didn’t.” she rolled her eyes and stated quite annoyed. I chuckled. Our wild queen is annoyed but I’m happy that for the first time it’s not me on Lisa’s shoes because most of the time it’s always me.

“Well, that guy is totally into you so no man hunting for you tonight since someone clearly already wants to fuck you. You’ll just have to help me find one for the night because we both know Nikki is not going to get some tonight.” she grinned. Well, she was telling the truth. I’m not going to sleep with some random stranger. After what she said registered in my mind. I turned towards her with shock written all over my face.

“Wait!” I exclaimed loudly. “Are you telling me if I don’t find myself someone tonight then I’m on my own” I asked amused. They looked at me innocently as if trying to apologize without even apologizing. These bitches couldn’t be serious. This couldn’t be happening to me. These snakes in the grass are finally showing their true colours some friends I have.

“You have got to be kidding me!” I exclaimed again. They couldn’t be serious, could they possibly do this to me? Their best friend? On second thought they could, especially Mila that girl loves to explore. They both look at me and murmur an apology.

“Oh God this is going to be a long night I just know it.” I scoff. There was no point in arguing with them. Once they have decided on something they always go through with it.

“You could find yourself a man also and I’m not entirely sure that Steven will come to talk to me.” Lisa muttered. I’m not doing that.

“Speak of the devil” Mila says as she giggles. “He is coming our way” we both turn to see who she is talking about. It’s steven and he is coming our way. when I look over at Lisa, her eyes were sparkling with excitement. I could get her excitement the man was damn gorgeous. Before we had time to blink, Steven was Infront of us.

“Hey again ladies” Steven says as he runs a hand through his hair. He looked a little nervous and I couldn’t blame him, Lisa was breath taking with a perfect shade of blond hair and a perfectly curvy body.

“Hey” we all said at the same time. Lisa was totally blushing I could see the shade of pink in her cheeks and, she was pinching and slapping my arm from excitement, and I think it will leave a bruise from her pinching. Damn I get her excitement but why do I have to suffer, my arm hurts.

“He is here” she whispered quietly so I was the only one who could hear her. I laughed and Mila dive right in the situation.

“Aren’t you supposed to be working” Mila asked teasingly.

“Yes, but I thought I could buy your friend a drink if she’d let me”. He said his gaze on Lisa who looked as if she was going to faint right there. Oh my god she looked so ridiculous with the look on her face.

“Yes, she would like that” I answered because Lisa wasn’t going to answer she needed to get herself in check. Steven let out his hand so that Lisa can take it and they went to the bar. I was busy looking at them when Mila disturbed me and shouted.

“Good for her I, on the other hand, will go and find a friend…or two.” she stands up and elegantly sways her hips as she heads towards the bar also. Multiple sets of eyes follow her every movement. I can’t help but laugh they’ve got no idea what they’re about to get themselves into. I was busy drinking my drink when I felt that someone was watching me, it was as though I felt his eyes on me and was compelled into turning my gaze specifically towards him. When I saw whose eyes, it was. I gasped.

Damn! he looked handsome, more gorgeous than any man I’d seen in my entire life, and I found myself unable to look away. He appeared to be confident, but it took absolutely nothing away from the raw, masculine aggression I could almost feel from where he sat. A chiselled jawline and jet-black hair brushed away from his face in perfect waves. His lips… they were just the perfect curve to compliment his features. His eyes looked so intense that they could literally make me combust as they settle on me. We stare at each other as if between us no one wants to break contact until Lisa and Mila came and I was forced to break contact. They started talking but I couldn’t hear anything they were saying my mind was on that perfectly handsome stranger.

“Nicole!” they both shouted as they felt I wasn’t listening to them.

“What?” I asked looking confused.

“What’s wrong with you? We have been talking to you, but your mind is somewhere else, and you keep looking at the bar, who are you looking at?” Mila asked her gaze shifting to the bar and she gasp. “Oh My God! You bitch! Who would’ve thought you of all people would check someone out? Virgin Mary is growing” she said excitedly while beating my arm. Her excitement hurt my arm. What’s with them and my arms?

I blushed. This wasn’t like me at all and the eagerness I got by that, alone told me tonight was going to be the night I do something out of my comfort zone and for once I was okay with it. I think the alcohol was giving me confidence. “I’m not checking anyone out” I denied.

“You sure are. You are checking that hottie over there. Go to him. For once don’t be afraid or shy and just take a lead” Lisa said, edging me to go to the bar.

“No, I can’t do that” I was nervous. I’ve never been attracted to men before. Other than this man at the bar.

“Nikki, just go. It’s not like you’ll ever see him again. We are going to Europe tomorrow, remember?” She tried to pursue me to agree.

I decided to go with the flow. “Okay I’m going”. I agreed as I pulled my lady pants and exhale then went to MR DANGEROUSLY HANDSOME. Okay I’m nervous but I know I would never see him again after today as Lisa also assured me. When I go to the bar, I ordered myself three shots of tequila. I needed the alcohol for confidence.

After I gulped down the three shots. “Hey” I said as I take a sit next to him. “Can we talk a little so that my friends would think I’m flirting with you, they’ve been on my case about being laid and they are forcing me to come and talk to you” I murmured as I’m looking at him all thoughts about the things we could do tonight came rushing in my mind, I’ve had sexual thoughts before but not as intense as I was having them right at that time. Damn this guy was dangerous. He is already messing with my hormones. He is making me all horny and wet.
