CASSIDY'S POV
Friday morning, I got out of bed, took a shower, and wore a black pantsuit, white shirt, black blazer, and 6 inches of heels. This outfit was more like my uniform. I had different of them, yet they all looked the same, anyway after I got ready for work.
I took an apple and bottle of water and went to work. There was no time for a real breakfast. Since I was already getting late as always, I drove very fast to work.
" Morning Cassie". Diana greeted me as always; she was cheerful. She's my colleague and friend, yet she always acts like my assistant, and I love that. Diana is a beautiful woman with grey eyes, that shocked me when she told me that was her actual eye color, but she always hides it under her eyeglasses. I also found out that she didn't need them, but she just liked wearing them, she has big curly brown hair and magnificent body structure, she also works out so she's all great in every part of her body.
" Morning, what do you have for me? ". I asked
" A coffee from Mr Leonard ". She said, handing it to me.
" He doesn't know when to stop, does he? " I muttered, but Diana heard me. She just chuckled.
" Leo likes you, Cassie, and he's sweet, charming, and independent like you. " Said Diana.
" Well then, he sounds like your guy, go for him. " I said, pumping my fist in the air.
Diana has a crush on little Leo, but she's too scared to tell him. If it were me, I would be f*****g him every day in the bathroom stalls, but then I don't have any feelings for Leo, and I have a loving boyfriend.
I am working at Stanford and Associates, it's a Law firm. I managed to land a job after I graduated, and it's always busy with a lot of employees. I'm sure others have already started working hours ago. It always full of people, every day it's new people seeking legal advisor or something, bad things don't end.
So, as always, I focused on work the whole day, and after I was done, I went back home.
There's nothing much but a bunch of paperwork the whole day until I start regretting my choices in career, but then when it's paycheck time, that's when I realized why I applied for this job.
Diana talked me out to a club downtown. I'm not sure how she knows it and why she knows it because it doesn't look like the places you would find her on weekends at first when I met her, I thought she was rescuing strays her free time but nope, she's a party animal, a wild one if I might add and she's the one who needs rescuing judging from the one-inch skirt she wore.
People were dancing, some were busy making out on the couch, music was pounding so loud that even the drinks inside the glasses on the table were shaking.
I looked around. This was not my favorite place to spend my night, yet here I was, feeling out of place.
" Yes! This is exactly what I need right now"—said Diana, jumping up and down as we walked to the bar.
"Oh my god! Please don't drink too much tonight. I'm too exhausted to carry your ass back home". I asked anxiously.
" Ha Ha! as for that matter, I'm going to find myself something stronger, then find my mark and lock it. It doesn't matter if he's clever or dumb, ugly or sexy". She answered while calling the bartender.
" Ohh please don't forget to use protection also there's 95% chance that you won't see each other again". I said, warning her, but she just shrugged. I guess protection will use itself.
A few seconds later, Diana got her shots. She even got one for me. I don't drink, and she knows that, but here she was handing me a shot.
" Trust me, you need it". She said, pushing it toward me
" No, really, I don't". I answered, pushing it back.
" What will you do here if you're not here to drink!". She shouted at me.
" Ohh my gosh, you dragged me here". I answered.
" Yes, I did. Let's drink now, shall we?". She asked before gulping her shot.
I looked at the glass, then back to her, hesitating for a few seconds, before taking it, tilting my head back, I gulped it in one hit.
" Ohhhh, that was strong!". I said, cringing as the vodka burned my throat.
" Another one?". Sam said, handing me the second one.
" I'm starting to think that you're a bad influence." I answered, shaking my head.
" Ohh, just shut up and drink!". She shouted again, handing me another shot. I took it and gulped it again.
" Yes, now let's go and dance like we were born for it." She said, pulling me to the dance floor.
" Ohhh, who's that snack!". She said, stopping in her tracks. I slowly turned towards the direction she was looking, but I didn't see any hottie, just some naked guys coming back from the pool. Wait, there's even a pool here? Wow, some clubs are doing the most.
" Well, if you mean those half-naked, dangerous-looking guys are snacks, then good luck in being their snack". I said, turning away from them.
" I don't mind if I am. " Said Diana, smirking as she walked in the direction where the guys went.
I was left alone just like that, so I just looked around, thinking about my next move. I could go home and video call my boyfriend until I fell asleep; mm that sounds nice.
Still gazing around the club, my eyes fell on a very tall guy. His facial features were exquisite, even though the red and blue lights on the ceiling were making it hard to take a good look at him, but I could tell by his chiseled jaw and greek god of a body that he was perfect in every way.
" Argh, who cares if you're hot and sexy? It's not like I would cheat on my boyfriend of 5 years with you". I said, looking at the guy, and even though he was far away from me, he smiled like he just heard me, but with this music playing so loud, it was impossible.
The guy moved towards me with a smirk, and I took a deep sigh and forced a smile, waiting for him.
" Here we go!". I muttered as he stopped right in front of me.
" I thought I should come and say hello to the most ravishing person in this room." He said with a deep, husky voice and a cute smile.
" Cool". I replied with a sarcastic smile, but he missed the sarcasm in my tone. He talked again.
" Would you like to dance?". He asked, still smiling. His dark eyes under the club lights were piercing through my soul, making me shiver a little as I pull out the gaze.
" No, I'm good, thank you". I answered, looking away from him, trying to be polite. also I don't know this guy. What if he just kidnapped and killed me if I angered him?
Turning to face him again, I placed my hand on his shoulder to decline his offer nicely so that he won't kidnap me and ditch me somewhere, but damn! I started running my hand on his shoulders, squeezing them lightly as I went down to his biceps. Holy f**k! I hadn't touched a man like him in years, and I could feel a familiar sensation pulsing through my veins, causing me to press my thighs together as I snapped out of it. I quickly jerked my hand off him.
He smirked, staring down at me, then leaned right next to me on the bar table with one hand in his pocket.
My eyes kept drifting down his ripped and toned body. He was dressed, yet I felt like his clothes were see through, or that was just on my mind. No, No, I have to go!
Just then, a realization hit me: I have a boyfriend! I have a boyfriend! I have a boyfriend! I kept repeating that to myself as I walked out of the club. I couldn't do that to Nate, so I simply left the hottie standing alone.
