Chapter 21 - "Hear no evil, Speak no evil, and you won't be invited"

[Abi's POV]

"Devil?" My subconsciousness asks suspiciously.

Once again I spurned her.

"Devils", Samantha smiled. "It means we all are the devils", Samantha chuckled at looking to Blaire.

" By the way Blaire your birthday is soon to arrive. What gifts you want from us?", Gianna asked her by shifting the topic to birthday.

"Birthday? When is it?" I ask Blaire?

"Eighth July", Gianna answered instantly.

"I think we should gift... Sweet candy. So that she can utilize sweet words instead of needled words", Samantha pointed finger at her and laughed along with Gianna and me.

" Shut up", Blaire said in oblivion.

Gianna's cell phone got buzzed and she peeked into it.

"Guys check your forum", She commanded in focussing in the forums.

They all were checking their cell phones in between that my cell phone got buzzed. I look to check it and it was a message from Nate.

" Abi, I 'll be throwing a party tonight for the deal I got cracked", He wrote.

Again he bragged about it.

" It's a formal cocktail party, please be present on time, you know well when the party begins", He texted.

I saw the message but didn't take any effort to revert him.

"Nate is throwing a party tonight and it's a cocktail party", Gianna said in amusement.

"Yeah, he is inviting all our fellow mates. He has posted this in the forum too", Samantha said delightedly.

"Yeah, I know. He invited me for the same", I said in scorn.

" Why hasn't he invited you in person? You are his girlfriend", Gianna indicated to me.

"Might be he is busy preparing the party", Samantha said in speculation.

" Whatever, I don't want to go to the party. I don't like it", I verdict.

"Why? I think you should come. I have listened from others that Nate's party is exceptional from others", Samantha tried to persuade me.

Even Blaire and Gianna said the same and tried a lot to convince me. After getting pressurized.

" OKAY", I said in loud. "We will meet tonight near my house", I said to them.

Later they all got busy in discussing their wearing for the party.

Tonight...

What should I wear? I questioned myself.

I began hunting for the cocktail party dress in my cordial wardrobe. I want something to wear which can make me look cute and innocent at the same time.

" Innocent. You, lol!", My subconsciousness laughs out, making me the fun of me.

"Don't you think you talk a lot nowadays? Let me do my work, you stinky subconsciousness", I gave a shut-up call to her. Huh.

Ultimately, I got this outfit. I raised the dress up and carefully scrutinize it. My eyes got a beam while looking at it. Thereafter my spirit got enlighten and exclaimed, " Hurrah".

I inaugurated the dress, which has lace embroidery, V-neck with nude inner lining, high waist, and short length along with a lantern sleeves in all black color. As usual, I wore minimal makeup and this time instead of curling the hair I put the messy left side reverse fishtail braid. For footwear, I selected lie to me heels in black. I wear small earrings and a modest hand bracelet.

Now I am ready. I heard the horn of Samantha's car. I look outside the window and said unhurriedly, "I'm coming".

I left the home and pass to the car.

Samantha is wearing A-line scoop neck knee length in stormy color, hairs are tied up in a bun, the matching earrings, and clutch. Blaire is wearing Scoop neck asymmetrical satin ivory color dress with matching earrings and ivory color heels. Her hair is open and has curls down the edge. Gianna is wearing V neck chiffon in lavender color dress, hairs are an untied and holding lavender color clutch.

I opened the car door.

"Ahah! Someone is looking cute tonight, ", Samantha complimented.

I shook my head down in disdain.

"Even you all look lovely tonight, " I returned the compliment.

We reached the party. At the entrance, we watch the decoration of the party is graceful. The ceiling was decorated with a black and gold theme. There is the use of dim light which will help the people to relax. The food counter and bar counters were categorized into different names. All the guests were mingling and bubbling with each other.

I walked straight to the food counter to strike my hunger. There is a lot of delicacies available at the counter like Burt tomatoes Galette, Pretzel Rolls, Honey, and spicy roasted carrot with Tahini yogurt sauce dipping, Goat cheese, and Arugula Pasta salad, Chilly cheese dip, Loaded Nachos, Hot honey lime chicken wings, Beet Salad, BBQ chicken rolls and so on. In dessert, they serve black forest brownie bites, Lemon meringue pie fudge, Nutella and cherry hand pies, mini Rocky Road donuts, mini orange tarts and so on.

They all sound so heavenly delicious, for a second I keep on admiring their color, aroma. I can't wait to put my hands on them. Babies, come to Mumma. I picked foods like hot honey lime chicken wings, BBQ chicken rolls, Loaded Nachos.

A few minutes later...

"Oh, they were sooooo yummies. Just pleased my soul"

"Oops, I forgot to keep it healthy beet salad is best. You know how health-conscious I am?",

" Huh to keep it healthy, girl you almost consumed everything. Thank God nobody watched you", My subconsciousness made a sarcastic remark.

After looking here and there, I analyzed nobody watched me. Thank God, I sighed. Oops, I forgot to taste deeessssseeeert. So desert time.

"Abi, no not to go there", My subconscious warned me.

" No worries, I will barely have one", I request to her.

"Nope", My subconsciousness declined the request.

" Tiny... Okay, one bite that's it", I tried to convince her.

"No. Never.", She precisely prohibited me.

I rolled my eyes and dismissed her. I walk to the dessert counter and picked up Nutella and cherry hand pie, I'm blessed to eat you. Later, I ate all the desserts. Nobody can keep my love away from me.

" You asked for a tiny bit. However, you ate all the desserts" Again my subconsciousness disturbed me from my bliss.

"Desserts are like F#@kboy. They are bad for you. So if you are having one, you might as well have two, three or four. Okay, I will stop here", I quoted her.

" Where were you?", Gianna asked me. When I was walking towards them.

"Having foods", I replied to her and picking up the glass of cocktail from the waiter who was passing by us.

I hold up the martini glass and asked, " What is the name of this cocktail?"

"The Blushing Lady", He replied instantly in a smile.

It is a beautifully designed pink cocktail. I took a sip of it. It has the right blend of fruits. The taste is amazing, and it looks absolutely stunning. On the surface of the glass, it has a covering of rimming sugar. I don't know what my friends are drinking neither I bothered to ask them. I was enjoying my drinks and looking around. I saw Tyler.

He wore a blue linen shirt, and its tuck in, sleeves are rolled up. He is wearing grey trousers and brown Tilden cap shoes. He truly looks, Greek God.

" So you admit that he is a Greek God", My subconsciousness popped a question.

"Did I said that?", I frown at her.

" Yes", She replied.

"Do you have a recording?", I questioned.

" No", She answered.

"Then I didn't mention it. Because everybody is looking enormous", I gave a shut-up call to her.

" Excuse me, Ladies and Gentlemen", Nate announced.

He was standing on the stage holding a mic in hand. He is wearing a Hugo Boss white shirt tuck in a black wide twill trouser, and a pair of Gucci leather shoes.

"Like you, all know the party is for the success of my first contract in the business. Thank you all for coming and participating in my joyous. However, I am sure you all are enjoying the party. Let's may it spicy. Let's have a game", He said a speech but turned in something fishy.

" Yooooo", The audience shouted.

"Whoever names I'm calling please be on the stage", He said. " Richa, Paul, Blaire, Samantha, Albert, Ethan, Gianna, Abi, Tyler all you please come on the stage", He requested.

We all went on the stage jointly. I was not in a mood to play his game but as a good guest, we have to corporate with him.

"Here are the drinks kept on the table which a signature drinks made by my personal bartender, please go and select your drinks", He ordered.

we all went to the table where all the drinks were organized systematically. Even Nate too participated in his own prepared game. Everybody selected their drinks and were standing in the queue facing the audience.

" So I will be passing the mic and you have to open the card and read the name of the drinks loud and clear", Nate announced.

First is Richa, she holding a dark blue color drink with ice rock included in it. In a smile, She holds the mic, opens the card and later her smile went off.

"D*ck Sucker", She announced. we all laughed hard at her. She deserves this drink quite suitable for her.

Next Albert, he is holding an orange color Drink. He opens the card and announced, " Three-legged Money", I laugh at him. He really can't calm his third leg.

Samantha holding a dark brown color drink, she opens her card and announced, " Sex machine". Ohh my fuck, I laugh at looking at her.

Ethan holding a yellow color drink, he opens the card and announced, " The leg spreader", everybody laughs at him. Poor Ethan.

Tyler holding a red color drink. He opens the card and announced, "Suck, Bang and blow", I laugh at him harder. Somebody in the audience shouted, " It's perfect for your personality. He smirked and looked up at me. Not only him but everyone.

I gulped. Shit, I forgot later it will be on me too. Why are you all looking at me? Huh? I hope mine should be decent, not erotic like them.

"You selected the drink because of its color", My subconsciousness helped me to recall.

" The color was peach. It was looking decent and cute color. I was unfamiliar with their identities", I explain confusingly.

"Abi, Abi, Abii".

Everybody was calling my name. I can't even shove them. Tyler passed me the mic in a smirk. I hold it tight. I open the card and was stunned.

This is not happening. Am I dreaming?

Oh my God. Oh my f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

" Yes, I know you f*cked up", my subconsciousness sang little too loud for my ears.
