I stared at my tired face through the mirror. The maid woke me up as I had requested her earlier. It was almost time for the party and dad is yet to return.
Yes, I know I'm an adult and have all the right to do as I please but was tired of the bad names they call me and this was what made me want to be respectful, hopefully, they might come to understand me. One thing was sure for sure, it will never happen. I shook my head sadly.
I hugged her. It saddens me that no one understands me not even dad. Mom is nowhere to be found. According to dad, mom gave me up immediately after I was given birth. Dad never wanted any controversies in the news so he paid her off.
It hurts to know that your mother could give up on you. I want to know if she felt any form of pity whatsoever. I wiped the threatening tears. Thinking about it only makes things harder for me so I made a promise to enjoy the party tonight. I won't let my private problems ruin this for me.
I forced a smile " I deserve some happiness and I'm going to get that tonight. It's a promise "
I went into the bathroom to take my bath, I needed a warm bath, and funny enough, I decided to shave just in case my plan of having fun decides to change tonight.
I blushed hard thinking about the possibility of anything happening tonight. It's silly but hopefully, I meet a guy who would like me even if it's just for today.
I closed down my eyes enjoying the water. It soothes my body and made me feel lighter.
The song in the background was playing smoothly matching the emotion I was feeling right now. This was a special song for me. I love whatever song Ed Shereen sings. He is a good musician after all.
After a few more minutes of the warm bath, I got out of the bathroom. My dress was already laying on the bed. I was glad to have instructed the maid to pick out a nice dress for me and she did. I appreciate the effort the maid made.
I pass my hand through the fabric. It was a nice and sexy dress. My body kind of dress. Chuckle. I couldn't wait to put them on.
I applied some lotion to my body. I was gentle with it. I didn't want to be hard on my skin. I was a baby after all. I chuckled at the joke even though I knew it wasn't funny.
" I can't wait for the party tonight" I muttered to myself. I have a feeling I will enjoy every part of it.
It sounds so crazy right now. I was smiling like someone who was in love. Who knows, I might find my life partner at the club. On second thought, I knew it was never going to be possible. No one finds their soul mate at the club unless a bedmate. Nothing else but that. Gross
I put on my jeans train. I wanted to be sexy as ever today. I want to experience something I have never experienced before.

"Where the hell are you?" Bella asked through the phone. "I kept trying to call you but you sent me to voice mail. Gosh, I was so worried for you "
I felt guilty. I didn't want to receive a scolding from Bella for coming late which was why I refused to pick up her call.
I felt bad that I made her this worried" I'm sorry. There has been a lot of traffic on the way" I honk as a car blocked me from passing.
" Please don't tell me you are driving yourself. Where is your driver?" Bella asked again. There was a hint of worry in her voice.
" I don't need one tonight. I can handle it " I tried to assure her but Bella wasn't having it.
She gasped " You've got to be kidding me. I need to spank your ass when you get here. This is just too much for me to take in"
." Why do you now sound like my father? Hey, you all need to calm down. I'm an adult and I can do whatever I want to do, it's my fucking life " I was getting riled up already.
Bella knew not to keep the conversation going. She didn't want to annoy me any further " We'll talk some more when you get here. Please be safe, okay?"
" I will"
The call ended. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I knew I sounded rude but the deed had been done. People need to start understanding that I'm not 18. I can think on my own without anyone trying to push me around. It hurts to see people look at me like some spoilt brat that doesn't know what she wants in life.
" I'm sick and tired of that " I gripped the wheel tightly. I was so irritated that I needed to take a deep breath before I could calm down. This is one more reason why I promise to give away my virginity to whoever wants it. I don't care anymore. Whatever outcome comes after, I will take full responsibility for that. This is a promise I made to myself. This will make people keep shut.
Finally, I sighted the club from afar and was glad. I approached the club gently with the car. Found a nice parking spot and park the car over there, relieving a sigh. To be honest, I was scared at first to drive this far but then I did it anyway.
I took her phone and her small purse. I saw no use in carrying a purse and had no choice but to take it if not Bella will query about it.
I got out of the car looking as beautiful and as sexy as ever. I have never felt this kind of confidence before. I was always in big dresses just to cover the fat around my buttock. I saw it as something irritating before but now I have come to admire every bit of it. A lot of people will die for a killer body like mine, I smirked.
Diane always says something along the line of " Don't you ever think you can threaten me because of that body" most time when we fight, Diane always brings up my body and I hated it. She always tries to make me believe that I have a very ugly body not until I realized that she was only jealous of me.
It's kind of funny anytime they fight over something as silly as this. As time passes I became used to Diane's insults toward me.
All I want to do is to focus on my mood today and I promise not to lay low in any form the way tonight. I adjusted my dress and made my way to the entrance of the Club. My phone made a buzzing sound. I refused to pick it up because I was sure it was Bella probably.
The moment I step foot into the club, the atmosphere changes. People turned to stare. It was a moment I have never felt before. The guys admire the way I look and the ladies were giving me stern looks. They were jealous.
On a norm, I would laugh out loud because I was focused on finding Bella.
" Allison!" I heard Bella scream.
For a moment I was glad she did that but on second thought people in the club now know my name. I waved it off with an eye roll.
I turn in that direction. Bella waved me over and I didn't hesitate to join them. I felt so uncomfortable with the eyes on me at the moment.
Among it all, I felt a little bit confused because there is this particular feeling I was having that someone dangerous was staring at her. I couldn't turn in that direction but could feel it deep in my heart. That is why I was glad that Bella found her at the right moment.
" Look at you!" Bella squealed " You look so gorgeous "I blushed hard. The attention was on me once again. The college guys all stared at me. They seem good looking but none seems to get my attention. I was hoping with the amount of time we'll spend together, she might find one of them interesting.
I sat down beside Bella. They were three girls and four guys. The third lady was Bella's cousin. She came with her boyfriend.
" Hi, I'm Ethan," the guy with blond hair said and brought out his hand for a handshake. I didn't want to seem rude so I took the hand.
" Allison"
" A beautiful name for a gorgeous lady like you," he said with a wink which made me roll my eyes mentally. Same old line.
He was a charmer and he would do well with the ladies though but I wasn't feeling him that way.
" Oh wow, thanks " I playfully said
The whole table burst into a fit of laughter. I knew at that moment that the night will be a long night.
