Chapter Two
Alexia’s POV
“Alexia, does this look good?” Clara asked me.
“It’s a bit too shady Clara , we’re going to a club not a church.” I reminded her.
The last two hours she’s been searching for something to wear and only ends up picking shady dresses.
“What do I wear now?” She said while stumbling her feet and murmuring in a frustrated way.
I sighed as I rolled my eyes not wanting to get caught in her drama.
My eyes met a pair of blue dresses.
“That one” I muttered as I got up and walked up to her.
I picked up the cloth and took a better look at it. It was a very pretty dress and not too long, just short and pretty.
“Wear this, and that black heels, that’s a perfect combination girl” I said to her while I walked back to sit on the bed.
“Common go get ready.” I said to her and she hurriedly got into the bathroom.
She walked out and just like I inspected the gown was suiting her perfectly.
“That’s my girl.” I said while smiling at her.
We already took our baths, just for us to get dressed.
I wore a pair of red dress which was cloned to my body as it fit in perfectly and all my curves and hips were perfectly out.
I made Clara’s hair and she made mine while I added a little makeup and she didn’t even want lipstick. I wore my heels and picked up my bag.
“Now look who’s pretty.” I said as I stared at her and she chimes .
A car honked at the gate and just then a text came into my phone.
“I’m here.” The text read and it was from Ken.
“Right on time.” I murmured as I smiled.
“Ken is here, let's go.” I said.
“Ken?, are you guys dating or something?” Clara asked.
“No we’re not, head just a very good friend who decided to hop in my birthday celebration.” I said.
“Well a good friend that drives you back from work and is taking you out for your birthday, he calls you everyday and asks about you, just a good friend Alexia really?” Clara said.
I knew she would start exaggerating the issue.
“Maybe I have a little crush on him.” I said as I smiled.
“There is it, you shouldn’t try to hide your feelings.” Clara said.
“Whatever, can you just start walking so we can go.” I said, reminding her that Ken is waiting for us.
We got out and walked over to his car.
He was standing beside the car waiting for us.
“Hey.” I said when I got close to him.
“H……,hi.” He stammered.
“You look stunning.” He said and I couldn’t help but blush so hard my cheeks turned red.
“Thank you, and you look breathtaking in you outfit.” I complimented him back unless mine wasn’t just a compliment it was a crush.
He opened the door to the passenger seat for me. I could see Clara chiming.
We all got in and he started driving. The car was pin drop silent and awkward as we both kept stealing glances from each other.
“Can we please drop the act now, this place is too quiet for a fun trip.” Clara said out loud.
Ken laughed at her words.
“So what do you want to talk about then?” Ken asked.
“About you two.” Clara said.
I gasped at her words and immediately turned to look at her signifying for her to keep quiet and she chuckled.
“What do you want to know about us?” Ken asked.
“Clara can be naughty sometimes, don’t listen to her.” I said trying to kill the conversation.
“How did you guys meet?” Clara proceeded to ask.
“We work at the same place, Clara, of course it’s at the workplace.” Ken replied.
It was obvious they both wanted to talk because none of them was listening to me.
For a second I became angry or was it jealous, he wasn’t talking to me but was engaging in a playful chat with Clara.
I wasn’t mad at Clara, I was mad at Ken for not talking to me instead.
I was muffled and stressed as I felt uncomfortable in the car hearing them discuss about me like I wasn’t there.
Finally we arrived at the place, I couldn’t thank God much cause I was literally tired of the ride as it was boring for me.
I got down from the car immediately after he parked the car. The view of the place was indeed beautiful.
“May I?” He said as he held out his hands for me. But I was too mad now that he didn’t engage in a concert with me so I didn’t take his hand.
“Let’s go.” I said and started heading towards the building.
I knew I had no right to be angry because we weren’t dating but I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t call this love or obsession probably a crush or whatever.
I took a deep breath because the whole thinking was heightened and I thought I was going to have a panic attack.
“Are you okay?” I heard Ken’s voice from behind.
“I’m fine.” I replied while taking deep breaths.
“I’m sorry if I offended you.” He apologised.
I felt a warm feeling in my stomach as he apologised. I don't know why but it felt good.
We all walked inside and sat down making ourselves comfortable.
He ordered some drinks and we even took shots of tequila. At this point I bet we were all drunk.
“I’ll be back. I want to use the restroom.” Ken said and I nodded so he left.
“Hello pretty.” Someone said as he walked up to Clara and waved at her.
Clara ignored him and kept talking to me so he grabbed her by the shoulder abruptly. While squeezing her shoulder gently and whispering something into her ear.
Clara looked back immediately and I could see the fear in her eyes. I felt uncomfortable.
Clara stood up and walked over to another table. At the end a guy who seemed to be their boss was the one calling her.
She seemed so uncomfortable as one of the guys trailed his hands on her hair sexually.
I got up immediately and walked over there pushing the guy to the side.
“Clara what’s wrong?” I asked her but she couldn’t say anything and stood there like she was in shock.
And the guy at the middle held a smirk at the corner of his lips.
“Common, let's get you home.” I said and tried to take her away when one of the guys tried to stop me.
He held my shoulder but I swiftly held his arm and kicked him in his groins.
The other guys wanted to come at me but the guy sitting waved his hands signalling them to stop.
“Listen I don’t know what my friend did to you guys but that’s not how to treat a lady, or try to touch her sexually in public are you all illiterates?” I spat.
At this point I was really angry.
Without waiting for a response I took Clara out and texted Ken that we had to leave.
