KIMBERLY
"There are different Vivians all over the internet, how am I supposed to find her? Damn it" I said in frustration.
"Of course there are numerous women named Vivian, did she not tell you her father's name?" Laura inquired, she was so bought off by the idea of marrying a stranger for money, after all I had no intention of marrying someone else.
Laura was my closest friend, for years we have been together just like Harden but she was closer to me.
"She did but I do not remember" I said whilst scrolling through the unending pictures of Vivians on my computer screen.
She said her father's name but all I could remember her saying was Vivian and her card does not state her father's name.
Should I call and ask her? That would be so awkward. What would I say? I still can not believe that a wealthy stranger walked up to me and proposed that I marry her son in exchange for my bills been paid.
How can I marry someone I have not met? Even if I do meet him, I can not fall in love with him so fast.
"You know what? Let us just forget about all this, free your mind tonight, let us go out" She walked up me and put her arms around my shoulder.
"Laura, I have alot of things to bother about right now, I am not in the mood for parties" I replied in a bored tone.
"That is exactly why you need to go to a party, to ease your mind from the burdens, you always say no. Say yes this time, I promise you will love it" She cajoled further.
"I don't know...."
"Harden will be there" She gave a lopsided smile.
"What is with the look?"
"Harden loves you Kim, there is chemistry between you both" A sly smirk appeared on her face as she glared at me.
"There is no chemistry Laura, he is my close friend and you know it" I rolled my eyes at her.
"Then you might as well give Mrs Vivian's son a chance, you can not be single forever" She mocked distastefully.
"Why don't you give him a chance, be my guest" I rolled my eyes again and scrolled continuously.
"Oh Kim, you are too serious, loosen up, so will you come for the party tonight?" She inquired again.
"I have no choice but to obey her royal majesty" I cheekily replied.
"Perfect!" She squealed happily causing me to chuckle. There was still no sign of the woman I met, online.
I guess I will have to stop searching, what is the use? I declined her offer and I have no intention of accepting it so there really is no use of searching the net for more information about her.
"So what are you going to wear?" She questioned.
"Anything that covers my cleavage" I replied sarcastically.
"Very funny, what are you wearing?"
"I don't know, why don't you do the honours of picking an outing for me" I replied, not sparing an eyelid.
"Yes! I have waited all my life to hear you say that! I know exactly what you need to wear" She cheerfully rose up from her seat and went into the bedroom to pick an outfit.
She was always so ecstatic when it came to parties, I barely ever had the time to go out because of the jobs I had to take for Emily's medical bills.
I sighed deeply as the sad reality of my life hit me, how am I supposed to pay eight hundred dollars every month when I can barely afford five hundred.
I need to be happy, Laura is right. I just need one night to ease off from my burdens and be happy, even if it might be the last time I go out to party.
*******
Rythmic loud bass reverberated through the walls of the building and met my ears, Laura and I alighted from the uber and stood in front of the building.
"Come let's have some fun!" She pulled my hand and took me into the building, this time, the sound of the music was as close as my shadow.
At the very entrance, couples were seen making out and kissing.
"Laura!" A tall dark blonde man cheerfully walked up to us. His eyes were blue and his shoulders were broad, complimenting his chiseled abs beneath his shirt.
He hugged Laura and gave her a peck on her cheek.
"Where the f**k have you been?" He asked whilst sparing little glances at me.
"I have just been so busy with alot of things" She replied cheerfully and watched him as his eyes weighed me from head to toe.
"Oh right, this is my friend Kimberly and Kim, this is Jaden, my ex" She said as he brought out his hand for a shake.
Something just felt very off about him, I do not know why.
I shook hands with him and flashed a faint smile at him, trying to suppress my discomfort around him. By the looks of it, he did not seem interested in me in any way, infact he gave a haughty look.
"Well... it's nice to....."
"Jaden baby!" A random girl walked up to Jaden and clutched onto his arm.
"I want a threesome! Come and have me and my cousin in the third room, please!" She pleaded.
"I will be right there baby, don't start without me" He replied causing her to squeal in joy.
"l will be waiting" She turned to walk away when Jaden slapped her behind.
I was stunned, what kind of a man is he? Without much delegation I had come to a conclusion that he was a f*****g playboy.
How the hell did Laura cope with him? That is probably why she never spoke about him to me but still, they seem close.
I would never think of dating someone like him, first off his attitude towards me was discouraging. He seems like a proud rich man who only finds comfort in women he f***s.
"If you will excuse me, I've got some unfinished business to take care of in the third room" His blue eyes squinted as he spoke.
After giving a belittling glare, he took his eyes off me and walked away.
I just did not know how to feel at that very moment, I knew one thing for certain, that I disliked him.
"Kim?" Laura snapped me out of my reverie.
"Where is your mind? Are you daydreaming about Jaden?" She teased.
"What? No! He is not my type, he is a f*****g playboy" My brows furrowed in irritation.
In spur of the moment, the vibration from my phone caught my attention, I dug my hand into my pocket and pulled it out.
Straining my eyes to see the caller, fear glued onto me like a second skin.
I walked outside the building and tried to calm my racing pulse, different thoughts filled my head instantly, I began to shake.
"What is the matter this time? What does she have to say this time?" I thought out loud before picking up the call.
