Falling

Chapter 6

AMARI'S POV:

As I was leaving, I saw the receptionist on the floor and hugged her because she was of so much help.

"How did it go, Miss Amari?"

"Well, he offered me a job as his personal assistant, and I told him I would think about it and get back to him latest by 12am."

"Oh wow, that's quite nice, came here for something different and got something better."

"I guess so."

"Please think about it very well, I would love for you to work here."

"Yes I will, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name's Alice."

"ALICE IN WONDERLAND, that's such a pretty name."

"Thank you."

"I'll see you later, thank you very much Miss Alice."

"Goodbye."

I walked outside and hailed a taxi man, whistling nonchalantly as I got one. As I climbed in, I couldn't help but think of moments earlier, and... Dimitri Rodriguez. That man. He's so intriguing. And hot.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't realize the cab driver was asking for directions.

"Miss? Where to?"

"Oh, my bad. 23 Bluewood Avenue, Gollum Street."

"Alright."

I hummed in approval and looked out the window. Sighing, I thought of Dimitri's offer. Should I expect the proposal? So many things could go wrong.

I dragged a hand down my face in exasperation and groaned.

.....................................................................

"We've arrived, miss."

"How much was the ride?"

"$10."

After I payed what's-his-name, I stepped out of the cab and thanked him, heels clacking on the pavement with a tick. My apartment complex stared at me, dauntingly. It seemed different after today. Cooler.

Once I was inside, I kicked off my heels and moaned in relief.

"Who's having s*x?"

I jumped in surprise, clutching my chest.

"s**t, Mads, can you, like, not?"

Madeline padded over, clad in a halter top and baggy grey sweats. Her hair was askew, messy bun practically falling off, she threw herself atop me. I barely caught her and we stumbled, almost falling.

''Get off, oh my lord.''

As we staggered over to the couch in the living room, I breathed a heavy sigh as I knew the verbal attack coming my way. Madeline flicked on the telly, ironically, World's Hottest Bachelors on channel 44 was on. Lmao.

It was quiet but for a while. Then; three... two... on-

''TELL.ME.EVERYTHING.'' she screamed in my ear.

''Okay, okay. When I walked in...'' I launched into the events of today, and stopped every now and then as we laughed and cringed at every detail. Mads especially liked the part where Dimitri scoped her as she walked out of his office. Freak.

Somewhere down the line, I noticed that  Maddie started to grin, very sinisterly.

"Lol what?''

"Oh, nothing.'' I just rolled my eyes dismissively and crossed my legs. All of a sudden, irrevocably out of the blue,

"We're going to Black Flamingo.''

"Uh, no.''

"Uh, yes.''

"We have to! I am bored out of my mind, plus, the whole situation with James and-" not the blackmail. Not.the.blackmail.

"Calm your t**s, Mari. Let me do my part, just stand there and look sexy.''

Just great.

I sometimes wonder how I ended up with this girl 

I want out, I think I'm goingto put her up for sale

................................................................................................................................................................

A long while, laughs and hair ties frustration later, I found the perfect dress to put on, of course with the help of this rude piece of s**t.

I topped the look of with red heels, curled my hair and laid my edges.

Countless tugs, curls and heels, heel try ons and bickering later, we were finally done. I can't recall the amount of times I groaned.

My make up was quite simple in Madeline's eyes but not mine. 

I donned a black one hand mini gown , blue La Monte pearls and my stud piercing.

My ear was decorated in simple stud earrings on the rim and in the little hole. Ha. Little hole.

Madeline, as annoying as she was, carried as usual in a tight black- but sleeveless party gown, giving her bosom a high rise.

Her makeup was done to perfection, in a subtle eyeshadow that matched her dress; and an interesting nude lip.

She paired the look with nude pumps and a La Monte purse, I, a Ferati clutch. Totally not sponsored.

"Okay, clutch check?"

"Uh.. wallet, cards, perfume, gum, taser, breath monitor, flask, yeah that's about it."

Madeline tutted disappointedly.

"What?! For the last time, I'm not bringing condoms along, gosh."

"But-"

"I'm also not having s*x with anyone!"

"You really are a buzzpussy, you know that?"

"Buzzpussy? Really so creative." I rolled my eyes. She smirked and we stepped out the front door.

"Look, Mar, I just want you to have a good time."she said and gripped my shoulders.

"I know, I know. We will, I promise."

.....................................................................

As [you already know the drill cause this is getting kind of tiring] parked the car in the parking lot at the upper section at the back of Black Flamingo, I could feel my heart racing. God knows what would go down tonight. Hopefully NO CONDOMS.

"Alright beb, out we go."

I rubbed my temples and sighed before getting out the car.

The intensity of B.F could be felt outside. As daunting as it was, it was equally as pretty. No, beautiful. A penthouse themed club, Black Flamingo was an A-list. Two huge statutes of flamingos draped in white robes guarded the marble steps leading to the front doors, equally guarded by heavyweight bouncers in black.

Expensive to the core, the fee was $3500 after 11pm, it was currently 10:30. How did I get myself into this, clubbing on a work week?! Only my best friend, I swear. I checked my purse to confirm everything was in place, rolling my eyes at the catcalls and tongue-whistles we got from guys nearby. Slugs.

We made our way inside and we were welcome with loud music which could be heard from outside and the little faint smell of sweat.

Madeline dragged me to the bar and ordered drinks for us.

I got non-alcoholic wine and she got vodka[so wild and for what].

She dragged me over to the dance floor after taking my last sip she didn't even wait till I swallowed(what if I chocked?)

"b***h" She passed a smile in return

I sat down and watched her dance, It felt like I was being watched but I didn't pay any attention to it, madz was about tripping(clumsy ass) then a really cute boy(in Madelines taste) caught her and they were just standing.

They looked like they were about to devour each other, I couldn't help but laugh, I guess that brought them out of their staring competition

"BAHAHA"

"What's so funny?" She was blushing profusely

"Nothing, nothing at all"

" I'm gonna head back to the bar, you lots should have fun, Madz please don't do anything stupid mhm'k?"

"Yes mom, see you"

I made my way back to the bar and I still had that feeling that I was being watched, I sat and decided to scan the room then I locked eyes with.......

Much Love ❤️
