So, I'm starting to edit this book because it's been a long time since I published this, this is my first story here in Wattpad btw. I read the story again and I just noticed there's a lot of errors and when I say a lot, I mean a bunch of them! So, I hope I made the story more understandable.

CHAPTER 1
Stella's POV
My heart is beating loudly inside my chest as we pulled at the parking lot of this club. I don't even know the name of this club. Nikki — my best friend — insisted on coming here tonight because it's my birthday.
If my father found out where did I go tonight I swear I'll shave my hair off so that I can't go out ever.
My Dad is kind of a strict father to me— but not too much. He never let me in this kind of place and other things young girls do. I shouldn't be surprised. He's a pastor after all, but I never complained tho, I'm lucky enough he allowed cellphones and other gadgets for me.
"Nik are you sure about this?" I ask her as we exited her car
"Stella relax. It's okay, your father won't know about this, trust me." She said as she walks towards me when she noticed I didn't move from my spot.
I did ask my parents to go out tonight with Nikki and they asked where are we going. I didn't lied about going into the mall but this club thing is a big YES.
"Have some fun. It's not like we're here for another purpose. You're 20, you're supposed to feel free, to enjoy."
"I am free Nik, but don't you think this is far too much? If my dad knows about this I swear to god.." I completely understand Nikki, she just want me to feel something new tonight. I don't see her as a bad influence to me because I knew I want this as much as she want this. I really want this, this is just fine right?
"This is not too much Stel, he even let you wear dress, look" she gesture her hand all over me. "But if you're nervous and not sure about this we can, you know " she motion to her car and pout.
"Alright but we need to go home at exactly 11, okay? And my dad always lets me wear dresses" I said and hooked my arms to her slender figure.
"Okay.. Let's get partttty !"
Once we're inside the place my heartbeat and the sound sync together. I was checking the whole place like a kid who just saw toys for the first time.
Nikki drag me in an empty table. The couch were so soft that I can lay there anytime, I miss my bed suddenly. By now I am asleep to my warm bed. But instead I'm into somewhere else.
Nikki asked me what I want to drink I directly said "juice please" and beamed at her. She mouthed 'ok' and ordered her drink.
Nikki is a rich ass kid. She would always get what she wants, but here's the thing, she is not a spoiled brat. She loves clothes so much and shoes and make up. I stared at her sitting in front of me she's throwing her hands up and dancing on her sit while looking at the crowd. She's really beautiful with her long blond curls, green doe eyes and I always admire her nose. Plus her model like figure, she can wear whatever she wants.
The waiter arrived and gave us our drinks. I noticed that he placed four drinks on the table and I looked up at him with confusion. Nikki must've read my face so she asked the waiter.
"Compliments from the other table mam.." He said while pointing at the group of men at the other table.
They wave at us but someone caught my eyes. He seems to have his own world revolving around him just staring at his beer in his hand. When suddenly he looked at our direction. My throat suddenly dried and my breathing hitched. He is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen in my whole life. God's so unfair.
I sat back normal, my back facing there direction. I saw Nikki still smiling like an idiot.. Oh god I know this girl perfectly, I am sure we were not going home alone tonight.
"Can you stop that?" I snapped at her. This woman is impossible.
"Mom, is that you?" She said holding her hand to her chest. Faking a gasp
"You're crazy! How can you smile to those people, we don't even know them."
"Oh I'm sure that wouldn't be long. And, please Stella you're drooling at the guy in a black shirt" Am i that obvious? But can you blame me people? The guy worth staring.
"Would you shut up Nik? Your impression is wrong.." Liar
"Oh, I will be shutting up now. Someone's approaching."
I can literally feel someone at my back. A tall guy approach us but he's not alone and I can't bring my self to look at whoever it is.
"Good evening ladies.. Mind if I join you ?" The stranger ask but only looking at Nikki. Before I could say anything Nikki offers him a seat
"Would you like to invite him for a seat Stel?" Nikki asked motioning at the guy next to me. I looked up and it was the beautiful creature. OMG
I stand up immediately offering him a seat right next to me. This is embarrassing and I feel nervous at the same time.
"I'm Brooke by the way this is man here is my cousin,Erick. Nice to meet you ladies." We shook hands
"I am Nikki and this beautiful lady her is my best friend Stella. She just turned 20 today." And plastered her big smile.
"Happy birthday then, Stella.." Brooke said and smiled at me
"Uh t-thank you" I said shyly
Time past and I was left alone .. With Erick. It is so awkward that neither of us said a single word. I swear I would kill Nikki for doing this. She's on the dancefloor with Brooke. Erick leaned his body to the couch casually and me on the other side playing at the hem of my dress. What else could i do?
He has long legs and I'm sure he's always in the Gym because his arms and everything told me so. He is closing his eyes that's why I can stare at him or rather say checking him out.
"Happy birthday." I tensed when I heard his voice. There's something about his voice and it's sexy too.
"Thank you" I managed a smile even when his not looking
"Uhm.. Why don't you.. Dance? I mean, I'm not a good companion."
"I'm okay. I wouldn't mind sitting here with you." And he looked at me. We stared at each others eyes and none of us move. He have a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
I don't like where the conversation and staring going. I might be innocent in many ways but I am not an idiot. I know what he's doing. Flirting with girls.
"My dad warned me about guy's like you. You talked, you flirt I get it but I'm not an idiot. I'm sorry, correct me if I'm wrong." And play at my dress again I can feel his stair at me.
"I'm not going to correct you.. Because you were right. But I am not being an asshole here, I respect woman the way I respected my mother. And I do believe that you know by now that I liked you.."
My head snapped up to look at him in the eyes. I raised an eyebrow to him, this is unbelievable.
This feeling is new to me. I don't know to handle this. It's making me nervous and I suddenly remember my dad. He would always say: 'put God in everything you do.'
How would I put God in this.
And the thought that I like him too makes it even worst.
