Kayleigh's POV
It's been over a year since I last saw Eddie, that party was the last time when I saw his face or spoke to him. He never even showed up at my door step like he used too, which saddened me a little but the bigger part of me was glad if he would have done that then it would still be toxic. Beth and Patricia often hung out with me for lunches or would show up for after parties at my apartment and I was grateful for their company. As for Jay, even he would join us for lunch whenever he could. Even though we hung out less, our friendship was still the same and I am happy to have them in my life. I often wonder as to how he has been doing or what he has been up to but I could never ask about that to Beth as she would catch me redhanded and ask me if I still have feelings for him and, frankly at this point of life, I am not ready to confront myself let alone any other human being. Every once in a while, whenever I got an opportunity, I have indirectly asked Jay and, Pat and they would always tell that he was his usual self or even worse at times.
As of today it has been 6 months since I have entered any night club and today is the day I change that; Samantha my colleague has been badgering me to go out with her so she is taking me dancing tonight. A few drinks don't affect me so I need to get wasted today and get laid as it is long overdue! After taking a shower, I scanned through my closet to find a black sleeveless dress which reached midway till my thighs and hugged my curves perfectly and paired it with a gold 6 inch stilettos. Once I was satisfied with how I look, I grabbed my clutch and took a cab for the address Sam gave me; I didn't have to pick Sam up as she was directly meeting me outside the club. After paying the cab driver, I got down from the cab and scanned the crowd to find Sam and there she was waiting for me wearing a golden sequin dress which made her dark skin glow. She greeted me with a hug as soon as I walked over to her, after complimenting each other and gushing over it, we walked inside the club.
The club definitely looked like one of the great clubs in town and the ambience was also very good. Sam dragged me straight to the bar counter while I questioned her, "Aren't we going to get a table or something?" she flashed a huge grin and mumbled in my ear, "NOPE, we are going to get drunk and laid tonight and for that we don't need no table!" I chuckled and waived at the bartender luckily he walked over to us the moment he noticed us, "Can we have 10 tequila shots please?" he nodded and went to make our drinks.As we waited, I took the liberty to look around and scanned the crowd and to my surprise everyone were checking us out so I turned back in my spot to face the bar counter as huge grin appeared on my face. Minutes later, the bartender placed a tray full of shots in front of us so we picked up our first glasses, raised a toast 'TO US' and drank 5 shots each back to back. Once we finished that, Sam ordered a martini and I ordered a scotch on the rocks; she took her leave once our drinks arrived but before leaving she mumbled to me in my ear "Let's not see each other again tonight!" and with that she got lost between the crowd and on the dance floor. I chuckled and turned to face the amused bartender to ask him to keep on repeating my drinks until I am standing here. A couple of guys tried to walk over to me but I didn't find them that interesting so I shook my head and they left. Few more drinks later when I lost my count, I walked over to the dance floor and danced to the tune of the music. I felt arms wrapped around my waist while dancing so I turned to face the guy, I tried looking at his face but my vision was blurry. My guts told me he is handsome and I loved the way he smelled, his perfume was very familiar but I was too drunk to think clear or make choices so I just continued to dance with him. He said something in my ear but I couldn't hear what he said so I laughed with a nod and the next thing I know is he pulled me closer to him and started kissing me in the middle of the dance floor, his kiss felt familiar and warm at the same time. My legs went jelly in his embrace, he had still not left my mouth and the next thing I know is he wrapped my legs around his waist and took me somewhere. He took me out and put me down on the back seat of the car sitting next to me he barked order to his driver and started kissing me again while his hands roamed on my body.
My eyes suddenly felt heavy and I have a terrible headache like someone hit me hard on my head. I tried to move in my sleep but I felt heavy weight on my waist, I scratched my eyes and opened my eyes to see his handsome sleeping face. I was shocked to see him as the last thing I remember was kissing a stranger and getting in the car with him; realisation then dawned on me and I figured that it was him all along. I slowly lifted his arm, kept it on the bed and swiftly got out of the bed looking for my clothes. I put on my clothes and started looking for my clutch but I couldn't find it anywhere. Eddie stirred in his sleep when he heard my footsteps and he barked in his sleep, "GET OUT, it was just a one time thing!" Tears started streaming down my eyes and I ran out of there as fast as I could, on my way out a man in his fifties tried to stop me but I didn't look back at him and got out as fast I could with my shoes and broken heart in my hands.
