Chapter 1: Part 1 Reunion

In front of the mirror is a girl wearing a tight black leather dress with thick curly hair that matches her light makeup. Theresa tucked her hair at the back of her ears and tried to make a lot of sexy poses in front of the mirror. She's been trying to look as sexy as possible as she can over the past week. "Okay that should do it" she winked at the mirror and looked at her herself one last time before going out and drove to Hamper, one of the famous clubs here around City A.

Theresa just got her promotion last week and today is the day where she and her long-time best friends will have a reunion. Everyone was so busy with their own career they didn't have the time to see each other. Some were living abroad and just got home so they have decided to meet.

While driving, Theresa can't help but think about her life. All of her friends are now married and the only bachelor remaining in the group is her. Even her friend that swore to never get married is now engaged. That damn big lair, I feel so betrayed she said to herself and shook her head.

Theresa grew up in a religious family. Her parents were very conservative and strict especially when it comes to relationships. She was forbidden to have a boyfriend while she was still studying, even having a crush back then was like a mortal sin. Since she is a good girl, Theresa heeded her parent's rules and studied hard to get a degree at a famous university in City A. She focused too much on her career. So here she is now, a fucking successful 31 years old virgin lady, who never gets to enjoy the pleasure of alcohol and man.

"Okay Theresa, today is the day for you to hook with someone. You have a stable job, you have a house, a car, and a lot of money enough to support a whole community. It's time for you to enjoy your youth" Theresa instructed herself before going out of the car. "This is it" Theresa made a retouch to her makeup before entering the club. Loud music and deafening cheers can be heard just at the entrance of the club. As she went in, the smell of smoke and alcohol was like slapping her in the face.

It is her first time to be in a place like this. Damn, why did they even choose to do it in this place? It would have been better to eat in a high-end restaurant.

"Hey! Our walking wallet is here!" in the corner a petite figure popped out and started waving at Theresa. Theresa rolled her eyes as she hears her best friend's nasty voice. She walked through the crowd and immediately went to her friends. "Oh my God! I miss you all fucking so much!" she gave them all a hug.

"Whose fault is it? We always make a plan to meet but you're always busy my dear" Valerie glared at her and then pointed to the couch signaling Theresa to sit.

Well, it's true, they always plan on having a reunion and it was Theresa who's always absent in the group.

Theresa sat at the corner awkwardly because everyone was looking at her, giving her a meaningful look. "Okay-okay! Drinks, food, and accommodation are on my tab tonight you bastards" everyone immediately livens up and started to get their own drinks. "Cheers for Theresa's promotion!" "Cheers for our long-time friendship!"

Theresa's group of friends was only a group of 4 people at first then it grew bigger as each one of them got married. There was Theresa, Louvel, Crystallene, and Valerie. Theresa is the newly promoted Vice Chairman of Zen Incorporation, a famous corporation in City A. Lou-lou is a fashion artist, she studied fashion designing in France and got famous in China. Crystallene is a doctor that currently works abroad and Valerie is a full-time housewife but got married into a millionaire, lucky bitch haha. Everyone is successful in their own ways.

"So... when will you get married?" Crystallene clasped Theresa's hands and waited anxiously for a reply. "Oh come on you already know my answer for that" Theresa answered with a boring look and drank the vodka in front of her.

"That! That is the reason why you are still single, girl!" Lou-lou shook her head and leaned closer to Theresa.

"Just get married already! We had an agreement to have our firstborn at the same time remember? Bitch I don't want to give birth at old age you know" Crystallene complained and everyone agreed.

"If you keep on nagging me Crystallene I will attend your wedding as a flower girl and not your brides made I swear," Theresa said jokingly and winked at Lander, Crystallene's fiance. Crystallene pouted and kissed lander in the cheeks.

Theresa can't help but chuckle. She doesn't know if she will feel envious or happy for her friend. Crystallene and Lander had a very complicated love story. Crystallene cried tons of drums of tears for this man. These two had a relationship when they were in senior high but broke up because of a misunderstanding. After 5 years they met again abroad and that was the time they cleared their past misunderstandings and decided to be in love again. Who would have thought that they were really the ones for each other?

After a long series of reminiscing conversations, everyone dispersed with their own partners to dance.

This is very fun! I should do this more often, it is a good stress reliever. Theresa relaxed on the couch. "This fucking shit heads are gonna drill a hella big hole on my cards tonight" Theresa watch each one of her friends having fun on the dance floor then looked at tabs stacking in the table.

After lots of drinks, the alcohol is starting to sway Theresa's vision and is clouding her mind. Oh right! My goal is to hook with someone tonight. She stood up and mustered her courage before going to the dance floor on the opposite side where her friends are dancing. Theresa went into the darkest part of the club where only a few people are dancing and drinking.

"Wohooo!" Theresa exhausted her butt dancing and jumping with the crowd totally forgetting about hooking with someone. After that, the music changed into a smooth and slow pace which is obviously dedicated to couples.

Before Theresa could leave the dance floor to rest, a firm arm hugged her in the back and slowly guided her body to sway with the music. Theresa was taken aback because he rested his chin on her shoulder. She tried to unclasped his embrace but his hands were holding her so tightly. His warm breath is tickling her neck. Theresa can smell the mixture of alcohol from his breath.

At the moment a couple like people on the dance floor was attracting everyone's attention. They were like couples made from heaven, they complement each other's looks. That was what everyone thinks and Theresa is not aware of that. The two were feeling each other's loud heartbeat.
