The Game Of Power

AT THE CLUB

MIKAEL POV

"Billy will be present at the party"

'What' I thought.

I closed the bathroom door with so much force that I'm very sure it would break into two.

I could hear Stacey laughing.

This naught girl.

I pulled off my clothes, I turned on the shower let the warm water fall on my already naked body making me feel relaxed.

I'm having mixed emotions.

I wonder how I could contain all of this emotions in a matter of few days, my grandfather died, my mother called, I have a house now, my long time friend is become my girlfriend, and now I'll be going to a party my new girlfriend insisted I must go not only that, the boy I have always hated will also be coming to this party.

No!

Maybe I don't have to attend the party, but I wouldn't want Stacey get mad at me.

I didn't realize how long I was under the shower.

"Mikael, are you ok" Stacey's worried voice cut me off my thoughts, I didn't realise how long I have been under the shower, my skin is beginning to get waterlogged. Stacey was trying to open the bathroom door.

Mehn! This girl loves me.

Is this how been in a relationship is, getting worried for your partner, it cool if you'd ask me except that I don't want to start getting worried because some guys will be trying their possible best to steal her from me.

"I'm fine, I'm coming out now" i answered her, turning off the shower. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body. I went into the bedroom.

I saw her pacing back and forth in my bedroom and when she saw me come out of the bathroom, she stopped.

"f**k I was worried" She complained more like screaming immediately she set her eyes on me.

"Hey it's fine, I was just kind of having a lot of emotions and thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even realize I was under the shower that long"

"Heck, you were under the shower for almost twenty minutes"

I chuckled slightly.

"it's not funny" she complained.

I raised my hands in surrender "I'm sorry".

"We are almost late, she said looking at the time"

Stacey is always time conscious, well as for me I think we are

opposite.

I quickly wore clothes, a denim jeans, a white t-shirt and a pair of sneakers. We made our way out of my apartment.

We boarded a taxi to God knows where the party will be taking place.

In less than thirty minutes, we got there. It was a party club. I have never been to a club before, is this the first time Stacey would be coming here, I guess not.

This thought made me feel uncomfortable. I quickly glanced at her to check her facial expression but she was calm.

Oh! She's use to things like this.

It already past seven in the evening, and it seems like the party just started.

I noticed Stacey waved at some people in a corner.

"Come" She pulled me towards the small group of people she waved at.

''hmm ok" I followed after her despite her tiny figure tryin to drag me with her.

"Hi" Stacey greeted them.

"Yo Stacey what's up" a guy with white hair replied.

I noticed the small group consists of three people, two girls and a boy. The guy was in between the girls, the girl on his right placed her hand around his neck, while the other was just playing with her phone. She looked up and smiled when she saw Stacey but her smiles turned frown when she notices me.

"Nick, I'm doing fine as you can see"

"Stacey, is this your boyfriend?"

"Hi" I greeted not wanting to feel left out of the conversation.

"Sit" Stacey pulled me down to sit on the couch as she sat.

"Who is he" The guy Stacey called 'Nick' asked eyeing me.

"He is my boyfriend" Stacey replied.

"Wow, alas you got yourself a boyfriend" The girl that was playing with her phone remarked laughing.

"Stop it Sara" Stacey paused then turn towards the other girl that was clinging with Nick "Bianca what's up"

"I see you bought a loser" She scowled at me eyeing me from head to toe.

"Hey watch it, I wouldn't want you insulting my friend" Stacey retorted back.

"Stop it you two" Sara said standing up, she touched her temples closing her eyes "Why does you two get to act like this everytime"

"It's not my fault, I was only telling her her taste in men is bad" Bianca replied almost immediately.

This girl is really mannerless.

Let's see to that.

"Such a b***h" Stacey mumbled.

"St.." Sara was cut off by the a voice booming across the dancefloor.

There stood a guy with a mic, I think that's the MC.

"Well" The MC begins

"we've all gathered here to have fun I guess, is it?''

"Yes" they all answered in unison. Now I see that a lot of people are now present. I was so absentminded that I didn't even notice there was so much people already. All were beaming with smiles, some are partially drunk while the others are still yet to be there.

"Then let's begin"

The Disc Jockey began playing music.

After a while of drinking, Stacey asked me for a dance which I turned her down. She began pulling me up, dragging me towards the dancefloor.

"Love birds" Sara said blushing.

"Go look for yours" Stacey replied. I noticed her cheek turning pink. whoa she's blushing.

We made our way to the dancefloor.

Stacey began dancing, pulling at my collar towards her bringing my love closer to hers.

I can kiss you that's for sure but not in the public.

'I'm not good with this'

I wanted to tell Stacey I'm done dancing but before I could I heard someone speak into the Mic.

"Look who we got here"

I recognize this voice.

It belongs to the very person that loves making me feel bad. Stacey notices my discomfort" Hey it's fine, I've got this" She said looking at my pleadingly.

I turned around trying to look where the owner of the voice is.

There I saw him at the DJ's side.

"Hello everyone" Billy said smirking, the DJ stopped the music, and everyone abruptly stopped dancing.

"Look who we got here, Mikael Johnson"

"Billy you son of a b***h" I muttered.

I sense something is not right.

For all I know, this dancefloor will get tense with every second and I was right. I saw Billy coming towards me.

"Look who we got here, the loser".
