Madonna's POV
While getting ready for a private party, I smooth out my dress in the mirror pulling it down my on my knees checking myself out. I toss my hair around but and pick up my nude colored lipstick applying a little bit more to my lips. I hear a ding besides me, I look down at my phone to see a text from Malik in my phone. I roll my eyes and ignore it as I continue applying my lipstick, I hear a ding then another after another. I sigh loudly as I out down my lip brush and grab my phone looking at the messages. He's going on about me showing my ass at the VMAs and why I haven't come back yet. I was going to ignore him until I saw a message from him that said "you're at parties at all times of the night and i'm here fucking waiting for you to get back because you're not answering my calls" the best sends a next text "PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE". Ricardo barges in the bathroom with the flash and camera in my face recording with Rita coming up behind him.
"Come on get the fuck out of my face" I say pushing the flash away from my eyes. My phone then starts to ring as a facetime call which I decline then put my phone in my gold plated Kelly bag.
"Ew what's wrong with you boss? Are you in one of your moods again?" Ricardo says laughing as he quickly pushes Rita in front of him as I sharply look up from my purse straight to his eyes.
"Nothing I'm just kind of irritated right now please don't make it worse." I beg as I start to put the necessities in my purse.
"Oh come on M, lighten up we're gonna go out there and have fun tonight. You've been good for the past week don't let anything begin to bother you now" Rita says as she rubs my arm handing me my shoes
I take a deep breath as I sit down on the bench sliding my feet into my red leather mules. "You're right, I need to just enjoy my time while I'm here. You know when the kids get far into school I'll be all in mommy mode. I'm not gonna miss out on my last few nights of fun." I say sighing as I hear my phone buzz again in my purse.
"Alright we're gonna let you finish getting ready and we'll see you down stairs okay?" Ricardo says before he follows Rita out of the bathroom as im spraying my body with parfum.
I stand back up as I begin to put more things on the counter into my purse. I pick up lash glue, power, my lipstick, and a compact mirror. I them reach for my condoms then quickly pull my hand back. Taking a step back I ponder a little bit then look over my shoulders before quickly grabbing one and shoving it in my purse. I quickly pick up my card and a few hundreds and zip my purse heading out of the bathroom.

We make it to the party and I saw that it was being hosted in a restaurant. I quietly thank god because I forgot to eat before I came here. As the car comes to a stop I get another text from Malik saying "alright don't reply, coo" I toss my phone back in my purse and climb out the car with Steven's help, he grabs my hand and leads me into the restaurant quickly trying to shield me from the flashing lights as security leads the path. We get escorted straight to the back to the biggest section already fully stocked with sparkling water, rosé champagne, and tequila. I sit down in the middle of the section as everyone sits around me. I look around the room and spot a few newer people in the industry, some old, and other creatives. I smile at the energy as Steven hands me a shot of tequila and a glass of Rosé resting his arm around me.
"Come on sister, you have to stop thinking about him. We're here to have fun I don't need you ruining my night. My boyfriend isn't here and I'm trying to have some fun." He says pinching my cheeks and clinking his shot glass with mine as he takes it back and uses the Rosé as a chaser. I laugh at him as I follow his lead taking the shot straight back and drown half of my Rosé as a chaser.
I wave my hand over my mouth as I make a face at the tequila "that will be the last time I ever do that again." Trying to get the taste out of my mouth I drown the East of my Rosé and pour myself another glass.
"Get up, let's go dance" saying grabbing my hands pulling me off the couch dragging me to the dance floor. He twirls me to face him and I giggle as I begin to feel the alcohol begin to get to me.
About an hour into dance the alcohol has taken over my body and people are now standing around watching and cheering me on as if they were watching me in concert. Ricardo is in front of me recording footage for social media as the song changes from Greenlight by John Legend to It Wasnt Me by Shaggy. As im still dance, I spot this tall tan and handsome man watching me from his seat sipping what looked like to be whisky on the rocks. I turn on the seduction and sexily make my way over to him as I grab his hands pulling him out of his chair close to me. He instantly wraps his arms around my waist as he backs me into a corner to the beat of the song. People are watching us dance to the music not taking it seriously because everyone knows how flirtatious I can be. I turn around in front of him as I begin to grind against him sliding down the front of his body whipping my head from side to side. His hands run up the side of my body sending chills through me as I begin to hear people cheering. I quickly open my eyes seeing almost everyone cheering us on recording on their phones. My heart begins to beat quicker as I begin to think about Malik seeing them and making our argument worse. I turn around faking the seduction as I blow him a kiss disappearing into the crowd making my way over to the bar where Ricardo is.
I tap his should and he gets up from his seat letting me sit as he instinctively opens my fan and begins to fan me. We get into a conversation as we're watching everyone else on the dance floor. About 30 minutes go by and I feel a strong hand light grip my waist.
"I hope you were gonna leave without saying goodbye" the guy from the dance says smiling brightly. His perfect white teeth and perfectly trimmed facial instantly putting me in a trace.
