"Yes. After all, as you had said before, I am young," I winked at her and she laughed.

　　"It's going to be the best day of our life," she smiled.


　　"Of course it will be! So should I take it in that everything is okay between you two now?" Marianna said poking her head into the bathroom.

　　"Yeah!" we said in unison.

　　"So shall I call Eve and Tess now? They have been waiting the whole day for the club," she told us excitedly and I nodded. She smiled and pulled the phone out of her jeans pocket and called them to our house.


　　They were in our home in just five minutes. All they did was to run to our house as they were our neighbors.

　　"Alright! To the best day of our life," Tess said as she forwarded her hand for us and we followed her, and like a school, kid kept our hand on her and cheered shouting and laughing at each other.


　　After that, all we did was home beauty sessions which included manicure and pedicure. Facial and refreshing and diminishing the dark circles using cucumber slices while I ate some of it much to Tess's dismay. We helped each other in makeup and got ready before the time. Eve was going to drive us there and for that, we were all truly grateful to her. A cab was a bad idea and we made a deal that none of us will drink like a drunkard. We will only drink as long as we could hold ourself and come out of the club totally fine.

　　Eve was actually engaged and her fiance was a doctor, he couldn't join us because of his work. Tess's boyfriend will also not tag along because she warned him that it was totally a girl's night out. Marianna was actually like Kiara with no boyfriends. She was busy building up her career same as Kiara.

　　I looked at myself. Tess had curled up my torso length grown wild hair into wavy curls which added more volume to my hair and I actually looked different.The cucumber remedy was actually worth it. My dark circles minimized and the concealer did a good job totally hiding it. The dress clung to me like a second skin but it wasn't uncomfortable. The hemline ended up right above my knees and I matched the dress by borrowing Kiara's black stiletto. My eyes popped out because of the smokey eyes makeup and the nude brown lipstick enhanced my natural beauty. The only problem was the plunging neckline. It was deep but reached the middle part of my chest showing off little too much for my liking and to the top of that Kiara made me wear the push-up bra. Even though I looked hot, but I couldn't help it because my hands would automatically make its way up trying to pull the neckline up.

　　"Will you stop?" Kiara gave me a distasteful look.

　　"What? I can't help it. It's too low" I complained as I tried to pull the neckline up.

　　"Low? You call that low? Then what about my dress?" Tess asked and I looked at her.

　　She was wearing a white fit and flare dress but the only attraction in her dress was her neckline which went down to her bellybutton.

　　"She will probably call you naked," Marianna commented which made everyone laugh except for me and Tess.

　　"Shut up!" we said in unison.

　　I looked at Kiara while Eve drove us to the club. Remorse and shame filled up inside me because I failed to be the perfect friend. She was there for me when I needed her but what did I do? I ignored and blocked her out. How could I be so ignorant? How could I not see right through her fake smile?

　　I sighed and smiled when she glanced at me. She was wearing a baby pink colored bodycon dress with a studded neckline. She looked absolutely gorgeous with her hair down into soft waves and minimum as compared to no makeup look.

　　"What?" she asked when she caught me staring.

　　"Nothing," I smile and I watched as she opened her mouth to speak something but stopped when her phone rang.

　　"God Dammit!" she cursed and everyone except for Eve turned in their seats to look at her.

　　"What?" Eve asked looking at her through the rearview mirror.

　　"This guy just doesn't understand that I am just not interested," Kiara complained as she typed furiously on her phone.

　　"Did that guy texted you again?" asked a bewildered looking Tess.

　　"Yes, he just doesn't get it" Kiara snorted and typed something replying to that guy's text.

　　"Who is he?" I asked

　　"Stranger"

　　"What is his name?"

　　"Anonymous"

　　"What does he do?"

　　"Keeps on irritating me with flirty and irritating cliche lines,"

　　"Where does he live?"

　　"Anonymous"

　　"Block him!"

　　"This is his probably twentieth new number"

　　"Change your number!"

　　"My bank accounts and work related stuff are linked with this number. I can't do that! It will take time and I am lazy."

　　"Well then ignore his texts"

　　"He will call me until I reply."

　　"What does he want?"

　　"To meet me."

　　"Why?"

　　"He says he has fallen for me from the day he saw me. But you what? I don't even bloody know his face!"

　　"Then go meet him and sort this out!"

　　"What if he is a psycho. What if he kills me? Even though I have the Silver belt in Karate I don't think I could fight a monster or a creepy Psycho," Kiara said and I rolled my eyes at her.

　　"You have never learned Karate du!" I remarked.

　　"Yes, I have duh!" she rolled her eyes back at me.

　　"Oh really? From where?"

　　"Of course from the internet!"

　　We all groaned at her as she looked at each of us asking what.

　　The music was loud bashing into my ear as I put my hand over my ears but laughing enjoying the beats when we entered the club. People were dancing, drinking enjoying and the happy surrounding made me realize what I was actually missing. I actually felt better after a long time. Surrounded by happy people actually made me feel better and I was thankful to Kiara and my girls for dragging me out here. We drank a little and made our way to the dance floor to dance. Kiara kept on on dancing and showing her moves shaking her head and singing along with the song. I just moved in synchronization with the beats and bobbed my head whenever the DJ played my song.

　　Some guys asked Kiara out and she ignored them as if they were some plague.

　　"Kiara! That was rude!" I whisper yelled at her when she chose to ignore the guy who politely asked her to dance with him.

　　"What? I don't think so! I am not leaving my girl alone," she winked at me and I rolled my eyes even though I laughed at her.

　　"Okay, I'm tired now. I will just rest my feet for some minutes," I yelled against the music and Kiara nodded getting my voice.

　　"Fine! I will join you in some minutes," she replied yelling back and I nodded before making my way out of the dance floor dodging the staggering drunkards and sweaty people.

　　As I walked towards the couch in the corner a man walked past me in a hurry but as he went past me he collided with another man and I saw as his wallet fell on the ground from his jacket. I picked up his wallet and was about to give him but found the man staggering out of the club. He was swaying and his body language totally indicated me that the man was intoxicated but his wallet was in my hand.

　　I called for him to stop but due to the loud music he was unable to hear me and ignoring my voice he walked out disappearing from my sight. I looked at the wallet in my hand and then looked back at Kiara who was dancing like a maniac enjoying her time. I sighed and thought that I would just return the wallet back to the man and run back in. As I made up my mind, I hurried out following where he went.

　　The cold air hit my body as soon as I took a step out of the club. It was already late and I looked around searching for the man. From far away, I caught the glimpse of the man's jacket and watched as he walked towards the car in the parking lot. He was staggering and my mind screamed at me not to go near him for he could be dangerous. I had not yet seen his face but somehow my heart told me to follow me. Reluctantly, I took a sprint in his direction and slowed up my pace when he stood keeping a hand on the hood of a car probably balancing himself.

　　"Hey!" I called to him.

　　"I have your wal- woah! Careful!" and he stumble on his own feet and fell backward towards my direction. I ran up to him for his aid as I watched the man groaning and turning around still on the ground using his hand to push himself up but failing miserably.

　　As I ran up to him and stood right before him thinking whether to touch him or not I chose to rely on my vocal cords as I asked him "Hey are you alright?"

　　The man stopped groaning all of a sudden and laid down stiff in his position. His behavior got me worried and before I could ask him anything else he moved his head up making me gasp as I saw his face.

　　"Za- Zachary?"
