"I fucking hate you, Greg!" I mumbled gulping down the remaining content of the glass. I smiled bitterly remembering how much of a fool I've been. The writings on the wall were clear but I was way too blinded by love to see it. My eyes darted around the room whose light was dim, music playing loudly, and people smiling, dancing, and chatting but here I was burning with pain. It felt as if my heart had been pierced with a million thorns.
Every single member of my family warned me but I didn't listen. Even my betrayal of a friend who I caught sleeping with my boyfriend Greg but I was too foolish to listen.
I let out a breath, I was done, I was done crying over a crazy fucking motherfucker who didn't give a damn about me. It was a good thing I broke up with his fake sorry ass. I had gone to Greg's apartment because he didn't show up at college, and didn't pick up any of my calls or reply to any of my messages for some days. I got there only to find him banging my best friend while saying stupid things about me. How he planned to dump me after I agreed to have sex with him and when they did see me, he tried to fake remorse but Alice didn't even try, all she said was that it was good that I found out at least now I was going to stop forcing myself on her boyfriend. I thought about giving both of them a beating but kicked against it, they weren't worth my time.
"Another bottle," I muttered to the waiter in front of me but he didn't do or say anything, he just stared at me with pity which I hated.
"Didn't you hear me?" I questioned raising my voice.
"Ma'am, you've had a lot to drink already, I think you should go home or perhaps call someone to come pick you up," the waiter mumbled lowly.
"Are you fucking serious? Do you get paid to try to babysit customers? You know what I'm done listening to your bullcrap and shit, I'm going to leave." I yelled standing to my feet. I noticed I had drawn the attention of others when I saw them looking in our direction but I didn't care. Reaching into my trousers pocket I took the money in it and handed it to the waiter.
"What?" I glared at him when I saw his eyes widen in surprise.
"Ma'am this is a lot. It's more than what you drank."
I nodded, "I know, keep the rest. You are right I should get home now. Bye."
With that, I turned around and sauntered away before he could say another word.
My parents were going to be dead worried about me, and my brother as well. I knew by now my dad must have informed our extended family that I wasn't home yet. I could only hope that Sophia my cousin was yet to say anything about my breakup with Greg to anyone since she was the only one who I told about it. I wasn't going to tell them about it at least not yet.
"Hey beautiful," A man mumbled stopping in front of me abruptly making me stagger backwards. I was far away from the bar, I had taken a secluded route. I didn't feel like taking a cab I thought it was going to be best if I walked home.
I ignored him and made to turn in the other way but he grabbed my wrist pulling me to him.
"You don't walk out on me beautiful," he smiled showing his set of yellowish teeth which had one missing.
"Let go of me this minute," I mumbled in a soft tone clenching my fist.
"So fierce, I like that. What if I don't?" he cackled taking steps to me.
I sighed shaking my head, "then it would be a pity."
