The Nexus Queen

chapter 3- 22 Candles

Friday....

After getting ready for my birthday/graduation party I glance in the mirror before leaving. I breathe in deep and breathe out to relax myself. After a self assessment I feel satisfied with how I look, my long red hair pulled up into a neat French bun with a few side hairs in curls on the sides of my face, earth tone make up, and I long red satin dress with a slit on the side up to my thigh. The dress hugged my body showing each and every curve. I smile at how great I look, grab my purse and head to the lotus club.

This will be my second birthday party, since my parents are older and not one for hanging out at a club, we had a birthday dinner last night and birthday breakfast this morning. Tomorrow they will be heading home. I wish they could stay longer cause I missed them but I know they have there lives to get back to. But hopefully tonight is fun, even though I still have these thoughts that something is going to happen. I push those thoughts to the back of my mind, for now so I can have fun with my friends and enjoy the party.

Several drinks later, I'm on the dance floor shaking my hips back and forth to the beat of the music laughing to myself. Most likely at nothing really funny but to me it is hilarious. A few minutes ago some drunk guy thought it was ok to grab my ass. The look on his face when I grabbed his junk and twisted, apparently what I said and the look in my eye's made him run away like a little b***h. I shake my head with a chuckle as I walk to the bar to get another drink.

Girl what did you say to that guy? The female bartender asked. I told him if he ever grabs me or any other women like that again, I'll rip his s**t off and shove it down his throat.

Damn girl, I bet he will never do that again. She said while laughing. Most likely not, I responded back laughing with her. Well girl this drink is on me. That guy is always in her treating women like his play toy. I told her thank you and grabbed my strawberry daiquiri and headed to the booth where my friends were sitting.

Rave hurry up, it's about time for your cake girl. I'm coming Addy chill girl, I said while walking to the booth.

The moment I said down waiters came to the booth and sat down a three tier cake with 22 candles lit up and everyone started singing happy birthday. I'm pretty sure my face was as red as a tomato.

We figured having the cake brought out at the time you were born would make it more special, Ben said in between the happy birthday song. I glanced at the clock on the wall, 11:11pm the exact time I was born. Now make a wish and blow out the candles Addy yelled with excitement. Thinking of what to wish for, I have pretty much everything I want and need. Well besides one thing.

I know very childish to believe that by making a wish upon lit candles on a cake and thinking that wish will come true. But hey one can hope right. After thinking of the one thing I want, which is someone special in my life to love and love me, besides my parents and friends. Someone that will be my other half. That is the one thing I wish for. I blew out the candles with that wish in my thoughts. I blew out the candles with a smile. But that smile started to fade as I suddenly became very dizzy and everyone's voices started to sounds like whisper's with a ringing in my ear. I barely heard Addy saying my name and asking me if I was ok. I was about to respond to her but then I seen glowing blue eye's staring at me. Then everything went black.
