Hey CEO, I Reject You

CHAPTER 9: THE NIGHT CLUB

Alexis POV

I hear a knock on the door and I’m sure its Patrick and Viggy, I’m so excited to go out. I am so tired of waiting for them, it's kind of torture when you are yearning for something.

“Hey Alex you look adorable,” Patrick says in the most sincere manner.

“Thanks Patrick you don’t look bad yourself, and Viggy you look so beautiful in that dress” I add.

“Thanks Alex, can we go now before we get late because we have to take a cab, and you look so excited Alex,” she says

“Honestly it’s my first time going to a club so I’m very curious,” I say shyly.

“There is no need to be shy beautiful, we will be right there with you, we are your friends and nothing bad is going to happen to you while we are there,” Patrick says adorably.

Why did he call me beautiful? it’s a little weird for him to call me that but if it was Felix I will be jumping in joy right now? I just wonder at myself why I keep thinking of a man who is old enough to be my father. A man who may have his wife and even kids for that matter.

We get a cab and head straight to the night club we are absorbed in the little chats that we do not know we arrived till the cab driver alerts us. We seem to get along so well, but I can pick a vibe between Viggy and Patrick, it’s as if Viggy likes him but I cannot say the same with Patrick. I could tell that she was a little jealous when Patrick called me beautiful, but I push those thoughts aside because tonight we are having fun.

“I will take care of the cab fee ladies” Patrick offers willingly.

“Of course you have to, moreover you are the only guy here,” I say jokingly.

“And you offered to bring us here so it’s your responsibility, in fact everything we eat and drink tonight it’s on you babe” Viggy adds.

“Oooh please you only call me babe when you want something, you are such a gold digger Viggy” Patrick answers teasingly.

We all laugh as we enter the club, the waitress ushers us in and shows us to the empty seats.

The place is packed to capacity and we can barely hear each other as we speak so we have to shout. The lighting of this place is breathtaking. It is so beautiful. There is a counter up front with tall chairs, I see ladies taking shots and men lingering around the ladies. There is a stage with a banner written ‘stand up comedy and live bands on Saturday and Friday nights'.

Shortly a waitress dressed in booty shorts and a red bareback red top comes to inquire which drinks we will have. Since I have no clue I leave Viggy and Patrick to decide. I hear Patrick order a cold beer, a tusker cedar for me, and Viggy orders tequila. I have no idea what those drinks are but I can’t wait to have one.

The waitress comes back almost immediately with our drinks.I see her eying Patrick and I notice that he handed Patrick a napkin with scribbling on it, I'm sure it's her number. She winks at him before she leaves and I see Viggy frown.

“ What is with these waitresses." Viggy says annoyed.

“ Don't mind her we came to have fun." Patrick says.

“ She has no manners, how sure is she that he hasn't come with either of us." I add. We decide to push the matter aside. Tonight is our night. We take our drinks while chatting, I finish my first bottle and then I take another one, Patrick warns me to take it slow because it’s my first time drinking. These drinks make me want to pee each and every minute. After finishing the second bottle I start feeling light-headed.

Is this how people start getting drunk? All this money wasted just to feel this way. I cannot deny it, It is an incredible feeling at first.

All of a sudden I feel extremely happy and the music sounds more enjoyable. The men in here become attractive, they to have become handsome all of a sudden. I tell Viggy to give me her tequila so I can try it. I take one shot, it is disgusting, how come people take such drinks, I feel it in my shoulders, and all of a sudden I feel as if everything in my stomach is floating.It is horrible.

Immediately I find myself screaming on top of my voice as I wake up from my seat and start dancing. I have never been so free with myself as I am today, Patrick and Viggy join me at the dance floor and we dance all our moves and everyone is copying us as we dance. We are at the center of a circle now showing people our moves it’s so fun. We order more drinks as we dance our night away. Most of the time Viggy is dancing with Patrick.

So I'm alone, one man comes to dance behind me, I can barely see properly right now but I see Patrick dimly abandon Viggy and come to remove the man behind me. I see Viggy woble and fall down. I cannot even help her because I see the whole place moving I can't even tell whether we are upside down or not.

Patrick practically carries me and places me on a seat. He instructs a waitress to check on me as he goes for Viggy. He brings her too and asks for the bill so we can leave. I don't know what happens next, I guess I passed out.

Because the next time I wake up it's the next morning and I find myself in a strange house.
