12: Just my luck
Reina Reigns

       "Bye honey," I say to Cesaro who stormed pass Drew. I roll my eyes before taking a seat and returning to work.

"I thought he said you weren't his girlfriend, what did you do to upset him?" Drew says after coming further into the office.

I laugh. "As if, why would I want to be the girlfriend of that asshole?"

I can't believe he showed up at my work with fake flowers and cookies in a heart shaped box. Some nerve after everything he's done. Does he think I would really forgive him so easily. I helped the man when he was done and instead of a thank you, he basically told me to get out of his house.

Drew stared at me so I continue. "He is my former boss. You know the one who fired me and basically tarnished my reputation."

"Oh Gemma didn't tell me who he was." Drew smirk and remove the roses from the dust bin, placing them on my desk. I glare at him only to have him ignore me. "Looks like he's more than a former boss, why did he bring you roses and chocolates."

I raise a brow at him. "It's cookies actually and don't you have work to get back to, boss?"

I like Drew, he was a good boss and by the looks of it he is also good to Gemma, but this was a conversation I did not want to have, especially with him.

Drew grins. "Take care of my baby tonight Reina, she's a light weight."

I give him a fake smile before he left. Tonight I'm going out for drinks with Gemma and Priyanka. Unfortunately I couldn't turn them down again. They were both blowing up my phone asking to hang out like they didn't have more important things to do. They are grown working women, how is it that they had so much free time on there hands.

I couldn't handle the constant bother any longer so I invited the both of them out. Two birds, one stone. Hopefully after they see how aweful of a friend I'll make then they will leave me alone.

A few days ago while in a taxi I noticed that there was a new club, about fifteen minutes drive from where I live. I plan to get wasted to the point I don't even remember my name, so babysitting my boss girlfriend won't go so well. Hopefully nothing happens to her for me to get fired.

Priyanka doesn't seem like the drinking type so she can watch over Gemma if anything should happen.

I pause what I was doing and glance over at the box of cookies. I open it and stared at the beautiful desserts. They were four kinds; raisin, chocolate chip, ones that look like Oreo and another which by the smell is definitely coconut.

I was about to take a bite, but pause when a thought cross my mind. What if he poised it? I gasp, I honestly wouldn't put it pass him. Letting him have one of my choice before he left is what I should have done.

The cookie between my fingers was starting to call my name. I always say I would rather die with a full stomach rather than to die hungry, knowing I will never being able to eat again. With that I shove the delicious cookie that is indeed coconut in my mouth.

I guess Mirza isn't that useless after all.

             I stare at myself in the mirror. People will no doubt say I look like a pröstïtute, do I care? Nope, I don't give a shït what anyone has to say. I used to get bullied for the way I dress. I was told I dressed like an old lady, or like a man and even that I looked poor in what I wore. Not that I was rich.

I wore a black mesh dress that stop at my ankles and black gladiator heels. My black shorts-like panties and bra is visible. It was a club and it's not like I'm married or have boyfriend who will complain.

I run my fingers through my curls, admiring the ombre ends and also my full glam makeup. I know Aaron wouldn't have a problem, he wouldn't care if I was to even leave the house in my birthday suit. As long as I came back to act like a mother to him.

Gemma and Priyanka should be here soon, I texted them my address right after I invited them to the club. We agreed to meet here at seven and it's twelve minutes to.

                 I swung the door open to reveal Priyanka standing before me with a creepy expression on her face as she looks at me.

"Hey, you look—hot." I give her a small smile, for a moment I thought she was going to say something else.

"Thanks," I say to her while watching Gemma's car pulls up the driveway.

I look back at Priyanka. She wore a short black shimmery off the shoulder dress, her long hair was in a neat low ponytail and her makeup wasn't extra. Not that she needed it, but I wasn't going to say it out loud.

Gemma got out of the car. She was wearing a pair of jeans shorts and a cute orange blouse, that went well with her blonde hair.

She frowns when she sees us. "You both look so gorgeous, I should have chosen something else to blend in."

"I think you look cute," Priyanka says. She was friendly, considering they never met before.

I did a short introduction before asking, "So who's car are we talking?" I look at Gemma's black 2022 Honda Civic and Priya's blue 2020 Lexus Toyota.

It's actually sad that I know so much about cars and that I'm the only one here who doesn't even own one. That didn't mean I was jealous of them. Gemma's man owns the place that sell cars and who knows how much Priya made from being a marketing manager.

"We'll take my car," Priya says eagerly.

"I'll take my car and follow." Gemma says.

               Gemma drives into the parking lot about two minutes later after Priya and I arrive. I raise my brows at her. She changed into a plain black dress with spaghetti straps, that stop a little above her knee.

I smirk. "Do you always carry extra clothes around in your car?"

Gemma smile, "I wanted to blend in."

"Well you look very sexy and elegant," Priya says before applying red lipstick to her lips.

I nod agreeing with her.

"So where are we?" Gemma says looking around.

There wasn't much to see since this was the parking lot, but the loud upbeat music coming from the club was noticable.

"It's some new club called chills. I wanted to check it out and didn't exactly want to come alone," I admit walking away from them.

"Clubs are not my scene, but this one is owned by Cesaro. Well his dad and I actually took care of everything since he didn't even want the club, but Mr. Mirza thought it would help him make friends as well as more money."

Priyanka words register in my head causing me to stop and turn to look back at her and Gemma who shared a similar look to the one I wore. Priya completely oblivious as she continues to look at her face in the small mirror. I wondered how she was able to even see anything when it was night and the moon wasn't exactly shining it's brightest.

"As in Cesaro Mirza?" Gemma ask.

"The man that you are crushing over, but won't tell him to his face?"

My words caught Priya's attention. Gemma glance at us.

"He's attractive, smart, young and wealthy. Which woman wouldn't have a crush on him?"

Gemma walks closer to me and loop her hands through mine much to my dismay. "I have a boyfriend so not me and Reina here doesn't exactly like him either."

"Yes so let's go somewhere else." I make a move to walk away but Gemma's grip tighten.

"Let's just go Reina, he probably won't be here. Like Priya said he didn't even want a club."

"Yes, please Rein," Priya walk over to us and take my other hand while begging.

"Okay fine."
