"Oh my God, I can't believe that he has the gut to break up with you, that good for nothing jerk face, anywhere I don't blame him, but you, I don't even know what you saw in him, anyway... Let him just wait still I lay my hands on him, sonofabitch" Lilian said trying to console me, as I lay on my bed in the two rooms apartment, I share with my father...

Amidst sob" Lily, please promise me that you won't do anything that I will regret later, please"

" I won't do anything to him that he did not deserve ....Get up and take your bath, we are going to my place, and you will be spending the night there, don't worry I will tell your father, I don't want him to see you like this, he will be so heartbroken.."

" Yes ma'am, what will I have ever done without you, you are my backbone, thank you so much for everything" I hugged her and walked sluggishly to the bathroom which was located outside the house while lily went to meet my father in his shop...

My name is Nina Dern Miller. I am an only child to my father, Mr. Tom miller. I lost my mother when I was five, so it has always been I and my father since then. We are very poor, my father being a cobbler, his job cannot send me to school but can only put food on the table ...I grew up in Roma Italy.

Lily came back to the room as I was putting on my dress, unlike me Lilian Thomas, my childhood friend parents are rich, loving, and caring I guess that was the main reason why my father approves of my relationship with her anyway. Her parents were the ones who paid for my high school, now I will be going to the university, they promised to pay for it as well, I will be forever grateful to them.

" I have talked to father, and he accepted for you to come to spend the night with us"

" Really " I stood with arms akimbo staring at lily who was standing at the door with no care in the world.

"by talking, you mean bribing him with money, right"

She nodded, I guess I should have gotten used to it now, but every time it hurt just like the first, my father has always been the one to do anything for money. I feel embarrassed anytime he asked for money from Lilian.

"Nina come on, stop brooding everything is gonna be alright, let's go before your father changes his mind, and my money will go to waste" she grabbed my hands leading me to her car.

Part 2

We've just arrived at Thomas's estate when Lillian packed the car in the garage, we went inside to greet her parent after we went to her rooms, we were lying side by side on the bed when lily suddenly said

" You know what I am very happy that you didn't sleep with that sonofabitch "

" I'm glad too, but please can you stop with the curse words, I'm tired of it already. "

" Sorry bestie, you know what we are going to the club tonight, I want you to forget everything that happens tonight ok "

" Yes ma'am, " I said with a mocked salute and a smile on my face.

*****************************

At exactly 8 pm we were dressed, I wore a mini denim bomshort with a strapless nude color blouse and my nude stiletto heel, all from lily's wardrobe and my humble friend was so excited tonight that she wore a red mini bodycon gown with a spaghetti hand, she spices it up with black heels, then we were ready to leave. " We are taking the Roll Royce and Mr daniel will be driving us today, cos I want to get wasted tonight and probably lose my virginity " she happily said as she climbs into the back seat of the car and I follow suit.

The club was a thirty minutes journey

from home and it wasn't long that we reach there, welcome to Lilytz Lounge, owned and managed by my humble bestie, yes at 17years, she owned a club and I owned nothing and we were the same age ...

"Wow time to get wasted tonight, let's go, Nina", she practically dragged my hands to the entrance of the club, which enter.

The club was lit and full to the brim, today being Monday, I was surprised so I decided to ask lily

" Lily can you tell me why your club is filled up today " I scream at her due to the loud music

" Hmmm, I guess some artist is performing today " she replied dancing away with a handsome boy.

Oh my gosh I hate club, I went to the bar to help Ricky, I know everyone here cos I work here too

"Hi Ricky", I greeted him

"Hi Nina, you are hot tonight, if I was not gay I would have asked you out, " he said

"Anyway, thanks for the compliment" I sat down on the stool opposite him as I sip my martini, I have not been the one to drinks, so I prefer fruit wine to beer and other hard drinks.

" Good evening beautiful angel"

I froze as I was about to sip the drink, the deep masculine voice was so sweet that it sent a shiver down my body, I have never felt this way when I was with Jack. I turned to greet the man, I was shocked, this man is beautiful, handsome and attractive in every way, II didn't know that I was checking him out until he cough

" Hmm_ haa_ I _ you _ emm_ " oh my god what am I even saying, I place my hands on my face, I feel so embarrassed, what was that he said before"

I raise my head as I hear someone chuckling, I couldn't help smiling too, ohmigosh he had the most contagious smile.
