Alicia's POV
Walking through the street of City B trying to see maybe I could find a job , but to no avail , I came across few stores looking for workers but they are not willing to accept me because am a little different , they all came up with one excuses after another.I do use contacts lens but today I forgot to put it on due to my eagerness and nervousness to find myself a job to support my brother,which led to my current predicament.
Getting lost in my thoughts, I stumbled across a bar looking for a waiter. woah I better Try my luck I said to myself, summoning the courage I walked into the bar , the interior was dimly lit , it was not of high profile but exquisite in a way you won't want to leave ,it was bustling with a lot of people drinking and dining,some couples can be seen smooching around the corner, ignoring them I walked up to the bartender. Hi I saw a post outside which said that there is a vacancy here. he was so engrossed In cleaning up the table and didn't notice I was standing in front of him until I spoke, raising up his head from what he was doing he stared intently directly into my eyes, I knew why he was staring at me because am used to it , feigning ignorance I touched my face. Excuse me , is something on my face? jolting out of his reverie. so alluring. excuse me sir? Sorry I was just too captivated by your eyeballs it seems to be pulling me in. woah to say I was happy was an understatement , I was overwhelmed concealing the joy I felt and giving him a sweet smile. Thank you sir. how may I help you?he asked, I came into the bar to make an enquiry about the vacancy stated on the board outside , do you by any chance know something about it? oops my bad , I was actually planning to take it off the board when am done with what am doing here, there is no more vacancy, had it been you have come a little bit earlier it could have been yours. Am sorry. It is this same story have been hearing all day long, masking up my disappointment I said a quick thank you and turned around to leave. Feeling dejected, I decided to call it a day coupled with the facts that the sun is setting , I made my way to my house to freshen up before going to the hospital.
Outside the bar, I felt a chill run down my spine, hugging myself while rubbing my hands on my arms, I flagged down a taxi and it stopped close to where I was, I entered, told him where I was going, then I rested my head against the headrest and reminiscence on what happened three years ago.
****************flashback****************
I was in a bar with my friends,we just finished our final year's last paper while waiting for the results we decided to go clubbing.
************Earlier that day************* After finishing my last paper, I walked outside to see my friends waiting for me with their backs turned to me. Jumping into their midst suddenly with both my hands raised and placing it on their shoulders causes them to bent forward because they weren't expecting it. hey babe,take it easy we still value our neck Camille told me while rubbing her neck and slapping my hand away. Removing my hand from her neck and turning to walk sideways Ashton said shall we go clubbing? yeah let's go bitches. then how about we make a bet? Camille asked. yeah sounds cool, so what the bet all about? the last person to reach the *dorm* is footing the bill. Game on . yeah let go. Ashton and I both said simultaneously. With that said we raced ourselves to the dorm, but none of us won the bet because we reached the dorm at the same time. But I know you guys would be wondering how possible is it for us to arrive at the same time. The secret is we all are athletes and our speed is almost at the same level.so back to the matter at hand we decided to spilts the bills . After settling that ,we are headed to our consecutive room to get ready.
Immediately I entered my room , I went to freshen up because my skin felt so sticky after the race we had. I spent about thirty minutes in there because I had to make sure my body is completely relaxed, after that I came out , went to my *vanity* to apply all the necessities I need on my body. After I spent almost an hour trying to look for clothes, I decided to go for a knee length offshoulder black velvet gown, that I paired with a silver Loius Vuitton wedge and a small silver necklace. I don't like wearing heels because I sprained my ankle anytime I put it on. for my makeup I went for a nude lipstick, a black smokey eyeshadow, a pink blush and lastly I packed my hair up in messy hair bun. But it looks like am the only one yet to come out but what can I do , I love having the last minute check up. we are running out of time Alicia, I heard Camille calling out to me. Am coming I yelled back. So taking my Hermes little sliver bag I went out to meet my friends.
Camille was putting on a green knee length bodyhug gown, with a black Loius Vuitton heels , a green purse and trust her to go all out with her makeup. Ashton was putting on a black floral pattern Long gown ,that was spilts to the tight on the left side, with a white Prada heels, a white Hermes bag and a golden necklace to complete her look , she went for little to none makeup.
***********20minutes later*************** We reached the clubhouse it was bustling with a lot of people, and I have to say we had a blast. When we arrived we went straight to the bar and ordered for a shit of tequila and whiskey , which we chugged down at a go and so we continue drinking until we were wasted. All of a sudden Ashton went to the strippers pole and started dancing her ass off. I couldn't let the moment pass by without making use of it. I took my phone on a did a small video of her . Camille got hooked up with a random Guy who pulled her away to God Knows were. Am getting the full gist tomorrow, that am sure of. Feeling naseous I ran out to look for somewhere to relive my bowels,on getting outside i was lucky to see somewhere a little bit private.after emptying my bowels I turned around to leave but was stopped by a voice.stop right there. I couldn't move for I was momentarily shocked but I came to my senses wen I heard his footsteps coming closer ,unable to think straight I ran .I ran as far as my feet could carry me. (end of flashback).
I was still in my rain of thought when my phone rang . I checked to see who the caller was and it turns out to be Camille.
