Jasmine's POV:-
10 minutes, in just 10 minutes I was ready to go out with Shells. Don't think that I'm fast at getting ready....nope. It take ages to get me ready even if I want to go for a simple grocery shopping. It's not like I wear a lot of make up or take time to select an outfit, no it's not like that, I'm just simply lazy when it comes to getting ready.
But if your bestie is standing by your side with a death glare and giving you looks that say ' if you don't move your lazy ass quicly, she's gonna kill you with her perfectly manicured hands ', I bet your body will work on lighting speed. Same thing happened with me and here we are, sitting in Matt's car, going wherever my bestie is taking us.
We've been driving for last 40 minutes and my eyelids are getting heavy because of sleep. I just want my comfy PJs and my soft bed right now but no, Shelley want me to go somewhere with her and she even made me wear the most tight set of clothes that I own.
I'm wearing an off shoulder red crop top, paired with black leather jacket, a pair of high waist leather pants and red high heels. I didn't put any makeup except some mascara and red lipstick.
I wanted to apply some simple lip gloss but Shelley handed me the red lipstick and give me a look that if I didn't did what she wants me to do then I'll face her wrath. I didn't wanted to piss her off anymore so I didn't argued and did what she asked me to do.
Anyway, I think I'll take a nap until we reach our destination. So leaning to the window I closed my eyes and just when I was going to drift off to sleep, the car stopped. I groaned and opened my eyes only to be greeted by the site of a night club and I groaned again.
Of course, its Saturday night and how can I forgot that if Shelley is free from her work she'll go clubbing. God, I can't believe she dragged me too with her but again its not a new thing, she had done this many times in the past.
I'm not a party animal and she perfectly knows that but still she'll drag me once in a while. As soon as, I stepped out from the car Shelley grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the entrance of the night club, since I didn't had any choice so I let her do whatever she wanted knowing very well that even if I protested she wouldn't listen.
As we neared the entrance I saw a huge crowd that was trying to get in the club, I gazed up at the signboard which stated " The Full Moon " and the fun fact was that tonight was a full moon night.
We didn't stopped to stand in the line but approached the bouncers at the door, Matt was leading us and when I thought the bouncers gonna stop Matt, they just bowed to him and let us get in.
I was shocked and when Shelley looked at my shocked expression she giggled and said that Matt is one of the VIP customers here. Well that make sense.
We passed a dimly lit passageway and then took a left turn and came face to face with a set of steel doors which were pushed opened by Matt and Jennifer Lopez's 'On The Floor ' greeted us with the crowd going crazy with the beat and I felt my mood lifting up .
Matt said something to Shells and left us, going towards the right side, disappearing behind a set of big wooden doors. Shelley grabbed my hand again and led us towards the bar where she ordered our drinks.
After grabbing drinks we set at the stools near the bar counter and faced the dance floor. The crowd was crazy and I was really enjoying my time here while taking small sips of my drink. I'm not a heavy drinker and I'm not planning of getting drunk tonight so this will be my only drink here.
Letting my eyes roam around the club, i saw people getting drunk, some making out in corners while some were sitting on the couches towards the left side.
I felt someone's stare at me and looked towards the couches and found a guy in red leather jacket sitting behind a table. He had a scar on his right eye, cutting his eyebrow and disappearing in his hair line. He was tall and bulky with tanned skin .
When I met his gaze he smirked and raised his hand in which he was holding a drink. He tipped it towards me and then drank the content in a single gulp. I quickly averted my gaze from him and looked at the dance floor, but I could still feel his gaze at me.
Suddenly, the song changed and Shelley screamed beside me that scared the s**t out of me. I looked at her and saw her downing her glass in a big gulp and then she ran towards the dance floor and started dancing along the crowd.
It was then only that I noticed the song played by the DJ. It was Justin Beiber's ' Despacito ' which was her favorite song and she was singing along with crowd while moving her hips perfectly with the beat. I smiled at her and shook my head at her childish behavior.
Taking little sips of my drink, enjoyed her performance but then she looked in my direction and waved her hand and mouthed ' come on ' but I shook my head and mouthed ' I'm fine here '. But Shelley being the stubborn person that she is, came towards me and tried to drag me towards the dance floor.
" Shells, please I'm fine here, you go and enjoy. " I said while trying to free my wrist from her hold.
" Come on Jazz, what's the fun if you don't dance when you're in a club." She stubbornly said , still trying to make me get down from the stool.
" Please , I'm really not in the mood."
She looked at me with her hands on her hips, her pink lips formed an angry pout and I tried to stop the smile that was threatening to leave, looking at her as she tried to look pissed but instead she looked adorable.
Suddenly her face held a big grin, like she had something in her mind and she come near me and said , " I know what will make you get on the dance floor."
I just looked at her dumbfounded and the very next second she was gone. I couldn't find her in the crowd and got a little worried. I got down from the stool leaving my drink at the counter and just when I was going to look for her, the music stopped and the whole crowd booed to the DJ.
I looked towards the DJ and found my bestie holding a mic while grinning from ear to ear.
" Ladies and Gentlemen can I have your attention please " her voice boomed from the speakers and everyone looked at her curiously.
" I know you guys want to go back dancing and enjoy your night here, so I won't be taking much of your time. " she begin.
"The thing is that today is my Bestfriend's birthday and she's feeling low because her boyfriend broke up with her yesterday. So I want you guys to cheer her up by singing Happy birthday for her with me."
The crowd cheered with her and I can't believe what she's doing. I'm her only Bestfriend and my boyfriend didn't broke up with me yesterday..... We broke up years ago and I'm not feeling low anymore. I was enjoying myself completely. And the biggest thing is that it's not even my birthday today.
" Yuta , could you please put the spotlight on her ." I heard her through the speakers and froze at my spot. The spotlight came to stop at me and every head in the club snapped towards me. I felt like a deer in front of the headlights.
" Come on everyone sing with me, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU....." and the crowd followed her singing the whole birthday song while clapping their hands and I covered my face in embarrassment with my hand. I just wanted the ground to break and swallow me in it.h The song came to an end and everyone clapped and cheered for me.
" Thank you everyone, now ..."
The spotlight got back to Shelley along with everyone's attention and I thanked my stars for it. I'm going to kill her with my bare hands when we get back to home. God how could she do this to me.
" Can I have the Punjabis on the floor ", the crowd cheered once again and a few people around 10 to 15 in number came in the center of the dance floor.
"I would now like to present you the world famous Punjabi Folk Dance.....*Bhangra, Bhangra, BHANGRA !!!!!!
The dance floor went crazy with her and I shook my head .The DJ started playing a beat and the crowd slowing backed away from the dance floor giving room to the people in the center waiting for the performance.
The group of people in the centre started moving their arms and legs slowly waiting for the lyrics to start and I recognized the song by its starting tune. It was one of my favorite Punjabi song and I found myself removing my leather jacket and tieing it around my waist.
I made my way towards the dancers and saw two Indian girls at the front, they gave me a genuine smile and made room for me to stand between them. The crowd made a big circle around us and at the same time , *Prem Dhillon's voice boomed in the club with the lyrics of his latest song " Old School " and we started performing Bhangra .
People were going crazy with our performance, few of them were even recording us through their mobile camera and Shelley was one of them .
She was in the front with her mobile out and was scream with the crowd while recording. Even some Americans also joined us and they were doing pretty good. When the rap part came, we girls moved to the back and the boys performed in the front .
Their each step was so energetic that it made me to dance with more energy. The beat changed again and we girls came to the front, after a few minutes the song came to an end and so does our performance.
People were clapping, whistling and shouting for us while we hugged and high five each other. Shelley finally made her way towards me screaming with everyone and hugged me.
"That was so f*****g AWESOME." , she screamed grinning from ear to ear making me laugh at her .
" I just can't believe what you did earlier, just to make me dance here, you even told everyone it's my birthday ? And boyfriend? Breakup ? Sometimes you're too much Shells." , I said making her roll her eyes .
"Oh hush you, just enjoy babe.", she said and showed me our performance video that she made.
" Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm going to play the last request of the night and then we'll be back to my own playlist.", The DJ announces and then *Sunmi's 'Full Moon' starts playing. We both looked at each other and grinned.
" I see another performance on the way ", she said while looking at me and I couldn't agree less with her.
