I exhale sharply when I noticed Nikki is making her way to us with Brooke. Erick just drinking his beer and keeps on calling the waiter for more.

"So?" Nikki asked as she sat back

"What?" I eyed her

"Are you two, you know?" She's always like that. Very vocal on what she's feeling.

"Oh.. No!" I say while smiling awkwardly
"Nik, that's embarrassing stop it" I hissed at her

"What? It's clear that you're attracted to each other." And Brooke is just laughing. I wouldn't be surprised if one day she will call and tell me that she and Brooke are official. This dude is just perfect for her.

I looked at Erick who is smirking while staring at his beer bottle. When he noticed that I am staring at him he instantly stared back at me. When Nikki clears her throat Erick smiled at me and I can't help not to smiled back. When I looked at Nikki I gesture on my wristwatch indicating that we need to go home.

"I'm sorry but we need to go home." I told Erick while Nikki telling Brooke.

"Si. Of course.." And then he look in front of him, to Brooke as if he's waiting for something.

"She has a car.." Brooke stated

"I can use mine" Erick said and with that they got up. I stand up too not really understanding what's the conversation mean.

Nikki came to my side and hooked her hands on my arm. When we arrived at the parking lot the guys made us wait and Nikki throw her keys to Brooke.

"Thank you very much Nik for this" I said and hug her tightly

"Anything for you Stel. I'm glad that you enjoyed, I love you so much. Happy Birthday. "

"Love you too. And, please, don't get too attached with Brooke, Nik. I mean, the last time you we're with a guy isn't worth remembering" My voice is filled with concern. When she broke up with her last boyfriend she cries almost every night. I would call at her and talk to her until she fall asleep.

"Thank you babe " Brooke drive Nikki's Range Rover and Erick is driving a black Ferrari, wow ! Just wow ! This dude must be very rich. They both come out of the cars.

I just stand there, confused, when Nikki left me standing in front of them not knowing what to do. I cleared my throat and Nikki stopped and looked at me in confusion.

"What?! Get inside of the car Stel." Brooke helped her inside the car. What about me?
I look at Erick whose leaning on his car with his arm crossed on his chest.

"Which car?"

"You don't wanna ride with me?" He asked

"No. No I mean yes uhm.. Can I ?"

"Of course you can Dolcezza" and then he open the passenger and help me settled in. I startled when he bent down and help me with my seatbelt. I can smell his perfume and his face so close to mine. He is so handsome, long lashes and a perfect nose and his lips.. God forgive me.

He clears his throat before he back away. He closed the door and he settled to the driver seat. We're just following Nikki's car in front of us, no one say a word. I'm afraid to start a conversation maybe he wants a peaceful driving. Or not.

"Is it your first time in a club?" Not looking at me

"Ah.. Yes"

"Why?"

"I don't really into places like that and my father wouldn't allow me tho."

"And yet you choose to celebrate your birthday in a club." He sounded angry
