Hii , this is my first story do I hope you like it !. And please comment advice on what should I add in the story!

'~~~~~~'

Valentina was sitting in her balcony on an armchair , reading a book , until Perla , her roomate , jumpscares her from behind and valentina gets startled 'Jesus Christ , Perla!, don't you know how to grab my attention without startling me?' I (valentina) say with the palm of my hand on my heart

"Sorry , bae!, I had a question" she says with puppy eyes

"What is it now?, don't tell me you set me up?" I say scratching the back of my neck
She nudges my ribs "Gurl, no!, I just really want to go to the club !, im craving a Vodka X whiskey combo !'

I sigh , thinking that she killed someone , I stare into her puppy eyes with shock at her bluntness,, I lick my lips as I smile " Yeah, sure , go get dressed , in craving some red wine' I chuckle as I walk to my wardrobe after I ruffle her hair .

'~~~~~'

I walk out of my room as I'm wearing a classy look to the party consisting a dark red velvet, sleeveless, halter neck, mermaid dress, with fingertip to elbow length gloves to match the dress , and a dark red, belle pointed toe, high heels. Along with a luxury set of silver earrings with rhinestones and a silver pendent to match, as well as holding her black, double bow, rhinestone handbag.

Perla's jaw is dropped 'hold on girl , you look gorgeous , every man there will be drooling over your body !' She exclaims in her eye-catching Outfit was presented as a deep blue shaded dress that was knee lenght, along with a slit up along her left leg. The dress had an upper ' v ' shape design along with straps coated in gems. Her heels beeing black and designed with golden laces ,grasped in her right hand was a metallic silver bag with a strap she refused to use. Her earrings were matching with the bag but shaped as a circle with square edges.

"Says who?, you look breath-taking perl " I chuckle 'now let's head out , I'll drive" I say unlocking the door and hoping into the drivers seat

I turn on the radio so we can have a blast*

"IF THE WORLD WAS ENDING ID WANNA BE NEXT TO YOUUUUUUU , IF THE PARTY WAS OVER , AND OUR TIME ON EARTH WAS THROUGHHHHHH" We sing until we reach infront the club

I get out the car with you then lock it
'Let's go in , beauty" I say before we enter.

The music pulsed through the club, a relentless beat that promised an unforgettable night. As I entered, I could feel the energy in the air, a buzz of excitement that was contagious. We weaved our way through the crowd, the music washing over us like a wave.
Suddenly, a flash of light caught my eye. I turned to see a photographer, camera aimed at Perla. He snapped a picture, capturing her in all her radiant glory. I smiled, watching as Perla struck a pose, her confidence shining through.
"Someone's got their eyes on you," I teased, my voice barely audible over the music. Perla laughed, a tinkling sound that filled the air. "I'm not the only one who's turning heads tonight," she retorted.
We found an empty table and settled in, ordering drinks. The night was young, and the possibilities were endless. We danced until our feet ached, talked until our voices were hoarse, and laughed until our sides split.
I suddenly got the feeling to use the bathroom , and since this club just opened , I didn't know where it Is so I excused myself from perla and wandered off to look for the bathroom .

As I'm walking , I go up the stairs to look for the bathroom ; i draw a huge curtain, but seeing something else, i gasp.

Sitting in a silk sofa, a handsome man was watching a man who was being beaten up by -probably- his bodyguards, in complete privacy.

Sipping his drink, he was observing the scene with interest. How did I even end up in the VIP section ?

Suddenly, the man turns his gaze towards you, and squints.

He doesn't take his eyes off you, and remains silent.

"uhhhh, sorry , im just lost?" I chuckle nervously

raises an eyebrow, sets his drink down slowly "Should you really be wandering around VIP areas, sweetheart?" his voice carries a hint of danger "Especially dressed like that..." he gestures towards my outfit with his glass "You look dashing , I must say"

"Im so sorry , I didn't realise , I was just looking for the bathroom , if you know where it is?" I say i fidget

His expression darkens, he stands up slowly from his sofa, his presence commanding attention. "Let me ask you something," He takes a slow step towards me, ignoring your question. "Are you really that naive or just stupid?"

""I guess im stupid " I mutter to myself as I brush the back of my neck which is what I do when I'm nervous

A slight smirk forms on his lips as he notices my nervous tell "Stupid is what gets people into trouble... like wandering into places they shouldn't be." His voice drops lower, more intimate "But then again, stupid can also be cute..."

I stay silent , not knowing what to do or say.

"Takes another step closer, his cologne strong but not overpowering "You know... there are men in this club who'd do anything for just a moment alone with you." His tone carries both warning and possessiveness "Maybe I should escort you to that bathroom myself..." he says as I gulp

He reaches out slowly, as if giving you time to pull away, and gently tilts your chin up with his finger "What's your name, little lost lamb?" His thumb lightly brushes your lower lip, a clear display of dominance and interest

" 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶 " I cough nervously

"If you don't mind I have someone to attend to" I say

He smirks and writes his number on a cigarette with a marker and hands it to me "Call me when your free , And I'm 𝐂𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲' he says " and also , the ay to the bathroom is tricky let me lead you....."
