Chapter 5: Clubbing

A week later

It was weekend and weekend for Belle was for fun and her type of fun was shopping and clubbing. They had just one class today and Belle had plans on going shopping, then clubbing that night and was so excited because this time around she plans on succeeding in bringing Milana along with her for clubbing.

Milana has always refused to go clubbing with her, she is sure her friend has never gone clubbing before but this time around she plans on making her come now that they live together.

After the class of the day, Milana gathered her stuff and placed it inside her bag as she prepared to head to her part- time job. She has a lot of fees to pay in school so she has been working nonstop.

“Milana, what time is your part- time job going to end?”

Milana looked at her time “By 5, I have two per time jobs today”

“Oh no”

“What's wrong Belle?” Milana stopped what she was doing and looked at her friend.

“I wanted you to come shopping with me”

“Oh Belle, I wish I could but I'm busy, I will make time another day” Milana said as she carried her bag on her left shoulder ready to leave the lecture hall.

“Okay fine, but in compensation I want you to come somewhere with me by 8pm tonight”

“What place?”

“It's a party of a childhood friend and I want you to escort me”

Milana thought about it “Fine as far as it's not in a club”

Belle shakes her head and laughs awkwardly, if Milana knows that there was no party that it was just a club outing then she will not go, which is why she is lying. Her friend is so principled and uptight so she just wants her to loosen up a bit and at least find a nice guy to date because she has been single all her life.

Milana found her reaction suspicious but still didn't think much of it and just nodded “Okay Belle, see you at home this evening.

Later that evening, Milana got home by 7 due to the traffic that lasted for almost two hours.

Belle opened the front door with an angry look on her face “You said 5pm!!”

Milana sighed “I'm sorry Belle traffic was much”

“Fine, but you have to freshen up quickly and get dressed, we have just one hour”

A club is a place you can go to at any time of the night but since she will be meeting some of her old friends and have already set the time, she needs to be punctual.

“Yes mummy” Milana said jokingly and rushed to the bathroom to go take a bath. By the time she came out, Belle already placed a short armless silver shining fitted gown on the bed with silver shoes and a silver bag to wear.

“Do not tell me this is what you want me to wear?”

“Yes it is, I got it when i went shopping earlier today and it's your exact size” Belle was excited and could not wait for her to try it on.

Milana looked at the gown and sighed not like it was her first time putting on such an outfit, she was not really in the mood to wear something this short and put on heels today but because Belle went through the stress of buying it, she was willing to since it's just a party.

After putting on the dress Belle helped her style her hair and applied a bit of makeup on her face.

“Gosh Milana, you are a goddess, I'm proud and privileged to have a friend like you that is not just smart but this beautiful. I wish you could flaunt your beauty more regularly” Belle said in sincerity. She was beautiful but her friend's own beauty was an understatement.

Milana always gets love letters from guys at the university and other men but she always turns them down. She is sure Milana was the most beautiful in her high school.

She wished her friend could accept one of these guys wooing her to break away from her singleness but she always rejects them.

Since they were going to this rich club she will make sure she finds someone capable of taking care of her friend. Belle recalled how she suffered until she finally got an invitation into the rich club through her brother's friend. Although her family was rich but not that rich enough for her to be able to afford a vvip access card. In their society, there were levels of wealth and her family was in the lower level of the rich.

They hailed a cab to the club at about 8:15 pm.

Milana watched as the taxi drove into one of the upper class areas of the city.

After 30 minutes of driving the cab stopped in front of a club.

Milana turned and looked at Belle who immediately avoided eye contact. Belle paid the taxi man then came down immediately before Milana could speak.

Milana came down too and the taxi drove off.

“Belle you lied to me”

“I'm sorry Milans but I just want you to have fun”

“You know clubbing isn't my kind of fun”

“I know but you haven't been in a club, how will you know if it's not fun if you don't give it a try?”

Milana sighed, Belle succeeded in tricking her into coming to a club and now that she was here, is she just going to turn around and live after Belle had put in effort in buying this dress for her and doing a complete makeover? Of course not.

“Fine, let's go in but we are going to live early, agreed?

Belle hesitated before nodding.

They went into the club after Belle showed the bouncers their access cards.

Milana, who did not know how things worked, just followed behind.

Belle held her hand so they won't lose each other as the people here were much.

Club 1980 was very popular, it was the club for the rich and wealthy. The club had different levels. The lower level, the vip level, the vvip level and the platinum vvip level.

‘Don't worry Milana, we are not staying on the ground floor. We are going to the vvip level” Belle assured Milana, who seemed so uncomfortable.

They took the elevator after showing their access card that had vvip on it.

The vvip floor was not crowded, only rich spoilt kids with luxury wears could be seen dancing and getting drunk. The vvip had different sections, there was even a private clubbing room.

Belle used her eyes to locate her friends and she dragged Milana along when she located their table.

On getting to their table she was surprised to see her brother's friend there. He was the one who offered to give her two access vvip cards, she had thanked him but he never mentioned he was going to be here.

Belle smiled at him as she approached the table with Milana. She greeted her friends before looking at Killian.

“Hey Killian, what a surprise to see you, you didn't tell me you were going to be here”

“That is because it was unplanned, some of my friends made me come but I will leave soon”

“Oh okay, anyway thank you for the vvip access” Belle happily said.

“You’re welcome” Killian smiled then looked at Milana.

“Oh sorry, this is my friend Milana, she is like a sister”

“Hey Milana, it's been a while”

“Hey Killian, how have you been?” Milana brought out a small smile.

“Ehmmm, what's going on here, do you guys know each other?” Belle asked as she looked between them.
