Chapter 5

"Excuse me, excuse me, coming through," Jaz said to everyone we bumped into as we made our way to the inside of the club and find ourselves a table for the night.

"Slow down, Jaz," I yelled at her and laughed. "You act like we're in a hurry."

"We are!" She said. "This club is packed with people; I don't want to miss a second of fun here."

"You're unbelievable!" I said.

She only rolled her eyes at me and pulled me harder. I let her do as she pleased and thought of just enjoying the night. Jaz stopped at a table on the far corner of the club and we sat down.

"This is a perfect place to chill. We can see people from all over the place." She said. I sat beside her on the sofa and looked around. She was right; this is the perfect spot if you just want to chill and see everyone. It was a bit far from the dance floor so the music wasn't that loud at all though it still is loud. I can still remember the last time when Jaz and I went to a club. It has been ages since that. We got busy with work and other stuff in life.

"Good evening ma'am," A waiter approached us. "What would you like to have?"

"Hi," Jazree said. "We would like some soft liquor first. Can you bring us some cocktails please?"

"Right away, ma'am," He said. "Would that be all?"

"Yes please," Jaz said.

The waiter excused himself and left. I was busy looking around when Jaz called me.

"What?" I said.

"I said, do you have work tomorrow?" She said.

I shook my head. "It's my day off tomorrow. Why?"

"That's great!" She said. "It's my day off too. That just means that we can enjoy this night to a blast!"

I laughed at her eagerness. "You're right."

"Hey, what do you think of that man right there?" She said as she pointed to a man who was sitting alone at one of the high chairs at the bar. He looks fine. He has a good body built and from what I can see, he looks good too.

"I think he's fine," I said. "Why? You like him?"

"Maybe?" She said with a raised brow.

"What does that even mean?" I said and laughed. She laughed with me too. This woman is crazy sometimes.

The waiter came back and served us our orders. He brought two red-colored drinks for us. Oh, this better be good! I took one and drink it. I can smell a bit of liquor but the taste is like that of a fruit. Great! We don't want to be drunk at this time of the night. It was still ten in the evening and still very early to get drunk.

"Oh my god! He's looking my way!" Jaz said out of nowhere after sipping on his cocktail.

"Who?" I said as I followed her trail for vision. Oh, I almost forgot, she was eyeing for that guy over at the bar. "Oh, jeez, he looked so into you."

"Nah, maybe he just wants to get laid tonight." She said. "You know I don't do that, right?"

"Of course I know, you just want to have fun but not to that extent of having sex with a stranger," I said.

"Definitely!" She said as she raised her hand and called for the waiter. Her voice was swallowed by the music around but it was a good thing that the waiter still heard him. He came towards us and asked for whatever we need. Jaz ordered another set of drinks which was more alcoholic than the cocktail.

"Don't you want to dance?" She asked me.

"Nah, I don't think so," I said. "I'd rather stay here and look around. I don't have the energy to dance yet but maybe later when the alcohol kicks in."

"Yeah, me too," She said.

I nodded and settled comfortably on my seat as I watched at the people who were dancing freely on the dance floor. It looks fun.

Not long after, the waiter came back with our orders. It was more than what we ordered so we were confused.

"Excuse me," She said. "We didn't order these." Jaz motioned for the two shot glasses which weren't part of what we asked for.

"Oh that is for both of you, Ma'am," He said and I got more confused. "Courtesy of that gentleman over there," He pointed and we followed his hand. It was from the guy on the high chair at the bar. He was looking at us too, specifically at Jazree, and smiled from ear to ear. "Looks like someone has been eyeing you two," The waiter even said with a hint of teasing.

We thanked the waiter and Jaz mouthed thank you to the guy.

"Looks like you have gained yourself another admirer tonight," I said teasing her. "He doesn't look bad at all."

"Nah," She said. "I know all these men in here just want to get laid and I am not up for that."

"Well, we should just enjoy these," I said pertaining to the drinks on our table.

"You're right," She said. We took one shot glass each and bumped it towards each other. "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" I said and emptied the glass in no time. I cringed when I felt the bitter taste of the alcohol on it. It was a bit hard but nothing I can't handle. I have a very high tolerance for alcohol and I am thankful for that. We took the shots that were given to us by the high chair guy and emptied them too. It was way bitter than what we ordered. That guy is probably trying to make us drunk; I thought to myself.

"It's hot!" Jaz said as she stood up. "Don't you think we should join the crowd?"

"Nah, I need to go to the restroom first. You can go ahead if you want, I'll join you after." I said.

"Hmm," She said. "I think I'll just go to that Mr. high chair over there and thank him for the drinks."

"Alright," I said. "I'll see you later then,"

She nodded and left. She walked towards the bar and started talking to the guy. I smiled at myself. This is going to be a long night. I slowly got up from my seat and went to the restroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and found out that my face was turning red. That's what alcohol does to me even though I only had a few shots yet. I freshened up myself and when I was satisfied, I went out of there. I immediately went back to our table and saw that Jaz was still talking to the guy. She saw me and waved. She held her hand out and asked me to come to them so I did. I smiled as I walked their way.

"This is my friend, Amira," Jaz said to the guy. "Ami, this is Ruke, he's the owner of this club."

"Hi," He said and offered his hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"Hi," I said. "It's nice to meet you too. Your club is awesome and so lit!"

"Thanks," He said. "I'm glad you're enjoying it here."

"Yeah, we do," I said. "It's great to be here."

Jaz smiled and nodded.

"Thanks," Ruke said. "Oh, here comes my friend, wait; I'll introduce you to him."

Jaz and I looked behind us and saw the man he was referring to. He was a tall, white and handsome man. It was a bit dark but I can still see how attractive this man is. He looked like someone from a fashion or bachelor magazine. He has bright eyes, a pointed nose, and perfectly shaped lips. It looks so kissable even in the dark. What? Did I just think of that? Really?
