"I've been meaning to tell you this for a very long time now but I was waiting for the right time and I think today's the right time. Skyler, I just want to tell you that,..... I LIKE YOU. I really really like you" Diane paused
"Is that okay?" Diane asked her besties while facing the full length mirror in Rose's bedroom
"Yes Diane, it's simple and brief. I'm sure my brother won't be able to refuse you" Rose said
"Rose is absolutely right. The confession is perfect " Lily said
"I don't want him to accept me to give me face, I want him to accept me because he also likes me back. Do you guys think he likes me?" Diane asked with worry all over her face
"We'll find out soon. The party is about to start" Lily said
"My brother said he has a suprise for everyone at his party. I wonder what the suprise is" Rose said
The girls started to get ready for the party. Diane was a little bit scared though. She was just thinking about how the confession will go
"What if he doesn't like me?" She asked herself mentally
"Come on girls. Let's go have some fuunnnn" Rose cooeed

"Hurry up Liam, else we'll be late" Ryan yelled from downstairs
"Sorry I'm late. I kinda got lost in this new mansion. This place is almost as huge as the palace" Liam said running down the stairs
"Forget about the mansion and get outside quickly. Damian is waiting for us" Ryan said and they went out together
"How long does it take a guy to get ready uhn?" Damian asked
"I'm sorry. I got lost" Liam said
"I'm not interested. Get in, I'm driving" Damian said
"WHAT" Liam and Ryan yelled at the same time
"What? We're getting late so get in" Damian said while starting the BMW
"I'm so gonna puke today" Ryan said making puking sounds
"Someone has to tell him he's a crazy driver" Liam said
After a really bumpy ride, the boys finally arrived at their destination. Ryan came out of the car hurriedly holding his chest tightly. Liam came out afterwards laughing
"Damian, listen to me carefully now. You'll never drive any car when I'm around" Ryan said
"Why?" Damian asked
"Coz you're a really crazy driver. I mean who drives a car at full speed uhn?" Ryan said angrily
Liam just stood there laughing
"Come on guys, let's go inside and parrtyyy" Liam said when he finally stopped laughing
"Okay guys. Don't loose focus" Damian said
"Yes boss" Liam and Ryan said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The girls were having a lot of fun on the dance floor except Diane though. She was also on the dance floor but she looked lost
"Hey what's wrong? Aren't you having fun?" Lily asked
"No, it's not that. It's just that I'm feeling nervous" Diane said
"I understand you girl. Just take your mind off it for a while and have fun" Lily said
"Come on, let's go grab some drinks at the bar" Lily added
Rose was too busy with Jake, her boyfriend and mate that she didn't even notice when her friends left
"2 flutes of champagne please" Lily said to the bartender
"Thank you" she added and gave 1 flute to Diane
"Thank you" Diane said and sipped her drink slowly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Found her" Damian said smirking
"Where is she?" Liam asked
"She's over there. At the bar. The one with the black dress" Damian said
"Okay" Liam and Ryan said simultaneously
"Let's all keep an eye on her okay" Damian said
"Okay boss" Liam and Ryan nodded
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi friends. Please can I get everybody's attention" Skyler said testing the microphone
"I'd like to thank you all for coming to my party this evening and I'm sure y'all are having fun right?" Skyler asked
"Yeeessss" the crowd roared
"Nice. I have an important announcement to make and I'll like you all to listen" he said and stretched his hands towards the crowd then a really pretty young lady stepped out of the crowd and hugged Skyler
Rose was now at the bar with her friends
"Who's that lady Rose?" Diane asked surprisingly
"I have no idea. It's my first time seeing her" Rose said
"I'll like you all to meet Poppy, my girlfriend and mate" Skyler announced happily
"We'll be getting married next month and y'all are invited " Skyler added
"Wooowwwwwww " the crowd roared and applauded the couple
Diane felt her heart stop beating for a few seconds out of shock. Lily and Rose immediately pulled Diane into a tight hug
"I'm really sorry babe. I had no idea about this" Rose said feeling guilty
"Why are you apologising? You didn't do anything wrong" Diane said with tears in her eyes
Diane sniffed and wiped the tears that threatened to fall off her face
"Okay girls. This is a party not a burial ceremony. Don't let this ruin our moods and spoil the fun for us. So, come on girl's lets parrtyyy" Diane added smiling as if nothing happened
"Diane's such a strong girl. I know she's really heartbroken right now but she won't show it" Rose thought to herself
The girl's decided to have some drinks at the bar before heading back to the dance floor
"I flute of champagne please" Diane said to the bartender after she finished the first flute of champagne
"Hey babe" a handsome looking tall guy said approaching Rose
"Hey Jake" Lily and Diane greeted
"Yo ladies" another handsome and tall guy said behind Jake
"Jasonnn" we all said smiling
"What's up girls? Hope you're enjoying the party" Jason said
"Yeah we are" the girls replied
"Uhm, do you mind if I borrow Rose for a while" Jake said
"Me too. Can I borrow Lily too?" Jason said too
"No you can't. We have to stay with Diane" Lily said
"No, it's fine. You can go. I'll be fine" Diane said to Lily and Rose
"Bu...." Rose was saying when Jake cut her off
"Diane already said you can come so let's go bae" Jake said and pulled Rose along with him. Jason also pulled Lily with him and the four of them disappeared into the crowd
Diane watched them leaving with smiles on her face. Her smiles faded when she spotted Skyler and Poppy making out on the dance floor
She was still looking at them with tears in her eyes and she didn't notice when a guy sat next to her
"Hi" he said bringing her out of her thoughts
"Hi" Diane said tiredly
"I'm Dorian. What's your name beautiful?" He asked
"Diane" she replied
"What a cute name for a cute lady. Uhm I think those girls over there are waving at you" Dorian said
Diane turned to see and immediately she turned, Dorian poured something into her drink. He did this in a way that no one saw him. Not even the bartender, Damian, Liam or Ryan. He did it so skilfully
"You must have been mistaken. I don't even know them"Diane said facing him
"Oooh, my bad. It was nice meeting you though. Bye" Dorian said and left immediately but he didn't go too far from her though
"Weird" Diane said after Dorian left. She gulped the remaining champagne not knowing that it had been spiked
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5 minutes later ~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What the heck is wrong with me now? Why am I suddenly feeling dizzy?" Diane said to herself and headed to the guest room upstairs
Dorian followed her immediately. Damian was also about to follow her along with Liam and Ryan when someone girls wearing rea8short and exposing dresses came to obstruct them
"Hey cuties" the girls cooeed
"Care for a drink with me handsome" one of the girls said to Damian while trying to touch his cheekst
"Get out my way" Damian said in anger. The girls quickly made way for them
"Ooh darn" Damian exclaimed
"What happened Damian" Ryan asked
"I lost her. I can't perceive her scent anymore" Damian said
IN THE RESTROOM
Diane stood in front of the wash hand basin splashing water on her face with her hands
"Why do I still feel dizzy? Diane asked no one in particular
"Hi" someone said behind her
