NORMANI POV.
I lazily row out of the warm and cozy bed when I heard the sound of the marvelous alarm clock.
Note the sacarsm.
I slam my hand on my stupid alarm, yelling for me to go to school. I feel so lazy today. Who am I kidding. I feel lazy literally everyday. I curled into a ball and went under the sheets pressing my head on my comfortable pillow.
I groaned lifting myself up from the bed, After tiding up my room, I dragged my self to the bathroom slamming the food I turned on the shower, I wait for it to get into the right temperature before taking off my PJs and hoping onto the shower and ended shaving my legs. Twenty minutes later I came out with a wet hair and smelled like vanilla.
Deciding to wear something bold, I opt for a blue jumpsuit that reached my mid thigh and a bow at the waist. I applied a moisturizer in my face then a little bit of eyeliner, making my blue eyes pop out and also applied my strawberry lipgloss. I tied my medium blond hair into a ponytail being out my little bit of hair at both sides of my face. I wore my black flat before walking out of my room towards the kitchen to fix a cup of coffee adding 2 french caramel cream and 2 sugar.
Yummy.
I went back to the room to get my phone and black bag with the coffee on my hand, I checked the time and saw that it was already 9:00AM and my class started by 10. I drank my coffee in a hurry grabbing an apple and eating it. I didn't bother knocking on Stephanie's room because I knew she would be in school since she had an early class this morning.
I took my car keys from the counter as I step out of the house. I opened the car and quickly climbed in, putting my seatbelt on then I start my car, I turned my radio turning the volume up as I hear my favorite Ariana Grande song 'position' playing. Pulling out of my driveway I start to head toward the direction of the University.
I found a perfect place to park, I quickly got down from the car as I brought out my phone to check the time, just to find out it was almost 10. I put my phone back in my bag before rushing into the school to get to my first class of the day.
**🌹**🌹**🌹**
"Hey girl, how was class today?" Steph asked as I step into out apartment. We have been best friends since forever and now we attend the same college. I am really greatful to Steph and her family, after my parents death in a car crash when I was sixteen, Steph parent toon me in and treated me like a daughter, I don't know where I would be without them. They are like my second family.
"Mrs Williams can be so freaking annoying, I don't know why she picks on me every time." I complained plopping down into the couch beside her as I rest my back on the seat.
"She's still a bitch to you, she needs to get laid. I doubt her husband is doing a good job at it if she always come in crancky" Steph replied, I scrunch up my face not surprised at her response at all. "Speaking of getting laid, it's Friday let's go clubbing."
"Nope, have got assignment to do and clubbing isn't just my scene" I said
"Come on, it's I'll bs fun I promise." She begged, "and you seriously need to get laid"
"No I don't."
"Please please please" I turned to look at her as she gave me her best puppy eyes knowing very that I couldn't resist it.
"Fine" I sighed earning a squeal from her.
"Great! get ready we'll leave by 7" we both stood up together, going into our various room.
I went into the bathroom to take a quick shower, washing off the days of stress. I toweled off and looked at the time and it was already 6:00. I was hoping to have a good nap before going out with Steph. I took my time to dry my hair.
After blowing drying my hair, I walked into the closet just to find out I have nothing to wear. I don't really go clubbing so all I have was sweatpants, jeans and cardigans. I started contemplating if I should go or not but a knock at door brought me out of my thoughts.
Stephanie walked into my room with two dresses on her hands, and they left nothing to imagine about.
"Steph, where are we really going to?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Okay, you caught me. There's this exclusive club for famous, rich and powerful people and I happen to score two passes" she replied excitedly.
"Steph, I don't think this is a good idea. We are talking about a club that requires passes."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," she said confidently.
"Now, come sit let me get you ready."
What have I gotten myself into?
After an hour of getting primes and plucked by Steph, she handed me a black shirt dress and heels that no doubt I would have trouble walking on. I out all my essentials in a tiny bag she gave to me and I must say she really out did herself, I looked breathtaking beautiful.
"Are you sure that is me and not someone else?" I asked stunned as I stare at my reflection on the mirror.
"It is you Mani, I just enhance the beautiful features you have naturally" she says back to me.
"Now let go we don't wanna be late." She grab my hand and drag me out of the room towards the main door.
Let the night begin..

NORMANI POV.
I clutch onto Stephanie hand as we walked into the club, my fear increase as we took a step, out of the whole places Steph had taken us to, this is by far the most impressive and expensive. The club was pitch black, we won't have seen anything if not for the bright blue lights at each sides of the club. The name Violante was curbed beautiful but dangerously, the letter V was represent with red flame at the middle, two body guard stool side by side at each entrance.
There are deem lights shining in the ceiling highlighting the people at the dance floor.
I was trying to get a proper view of my surrounding but Stephanie drag me to the bar. The bar surface was made of black marble.
Everything in this place screamed rich and expensive. Stephanie and I took a sit at the bar stool and we ordered our drinks.
"So, you know how it requires a pass to get into club right....." Stephanie asked with a guilty expression.
"What aren't you telling me" I raised my eyebrows knowing very well that I wasn't going to like her next two words.
"I may of may not have gotten them from Jason"
"What...." I exclaimed.
Incase you're wondering who Jason was, he was once my best friend who later became my boyfriend and we were so close, I thought we loved each other but I was wrong. I found out in the most painful way, when I caught him in bed with my cousin during my parents funeral. U was so furious, and that was the last time we spoke to each other. I didn't know Steph still kept in touch with him and I felt betrayed.
"Why would u do that" I asked annoyed at the fact that she didn't tell me until now.
"I know you're pissed, but you won't have come with me if u know where I got the passes from." She was right, the last thing I want is to associate with Jason, you could say I'm still not over his betrayal.
"Damn right I won't" I answered angrily.
"He liked so hangup on you when we saw and believe me, I was ready to beat him black and blue." She said emphasizing on each words."
"But I'm little bit ashamed to say he got me when he pulled out those passes"
"Still Steph...."
"I know, I know. I really wanted to come to this club so bad, I'm sorry," she said giving me her best puppy eyes, this is the second time she is using that truck on me. I really need to get immune to these before it gets me into trouble.
"Ugh...fine, you're off the hook for now," I replied making her let out a dramatic sigh.
"Coke on let's dance" she said and stretch he'd hand to take mind as we both got up from our sit.
"I can't , not with these heels" I complained as she took me to the dance floor.
"Don't worey, when you get tired we would take a rest" she assured me.
We both moved to the dance floor making way through lots of sweaty bodies to find a perfect spot and our body move to the groove as the DJ played shots and wine by Sean Paul and stefflon don.
I was smiling widely that my cheeks hurt and I felt my body move dangerously in a teasing manner as the music takes control.
You could say that I was a pretty good dancer.
I was getting lost in the groove, almost...
There are time when you feel like you're being watched and when you look around frantically, you find out that you are just making a fool out of yourself. Then you decide to shrug it off thinking that it's might just be all in your head.
That's how I felt right at this moment, I tried brushing it off but the constant feeling of being watched kept surfacing. I could feel someone's eyes burning into my skin, watching my every move.
I felt a shiver down my spine and I felt so cold all for a sudden.
I kept looking round the club until I caught sight of him and my eyes lock into his dark orbs.
He was standing in the balcony of the VIP section with a drink in his hand and a girl with dark red hair and heavy make up clunching onto his arm like her life depended on it, she was wearing a very skinny dress that left no imagination. He rested his elbow on the rail, leaning forward watching me with those magnificent eyes.
He was dressed in a black shirt and trousers, his black shirt clutched tightly to his body enabling his tattooed muscles arms. His face was forward as he looked at me without blinking, his jaw clunched as his lips form a thin line. His black hair was messy.
I was so engrossed in him that I forget what I was doing until I felt a light tap in my shoulder bringing me out if my trance.
"Are you okay?, you seem to be in another world of your own" Steph asked with a concerned look.
"Sorry, I'm just tired. My legs hurt" u said not wanting to worry her.
"Should we take a break" she asked as I nodded in response and we both head back to the bar for another drink.
My eyes drifted back up to look at him just to find him still watching me, not a hair out of place I doubted if he had blinked once. I couldn't help but check him, he is tall and huge and for some reasons looks scary and I couldn't deny how very attractive and freaking handsome he looked but stills scary.
I couldn't bring myself to stop staring and he knew that, his eyes didn't move a inch from my face.
"Hey Steph I think it's best we just leave" I asked suddenly.
"But why.....? We were having fun" she whined.
"Have got assignments to do and I feel tired."
"Fine, let's go." She said, finally giving in.
We quickly made out way to the exit, I was almost close to the door and I didn't know what possessed me but I found myself tuning back to look at his direction and my eyes widen when I find him in the same position, staring at me without moving. The side of his lips raised yo in a smirk and he raised the drink up in a cheer before bringing it to his lips, his dark eyes held promises u surely didn't want to know and I walked out the door, Steph and I called a cab hack to the comfort of our home.
