Bella moved to the city with her best friend after they graduated from college. They are looking forward to the new city life and starting their lives. Bella finds a great job as a P.A. for the CEO of a very big and powerful company. Her boss is rut...
So I'm Bella and I am moving to New York with my best friend, Jess. We have been friends since pre-k. Yep we were the kids that traded lunches and were inseparable at all times. We even went to the same college. We are both 22 years old. Jess found a job at a fancy law firm in the city so we are moving today. I'm still applying for jobs.
"Bell, move your ass girl. IT'S MOVING DAY!!" Jess comes running into the front door of our old apartment.
"I'm coming. I just wanted to make sure we didn't leave anything behind." I said laughing at how excited she was.
Don't get me wrong I am excited too but I don't think anybody could be as excited as Jess.
After looking at our little apartment one last time, we hop in her white Tahoe and we head to New York.
"I promise Jess as soon as we get to New York I'm going to fill out some more applications. I am determined to get a job. You are not going to be carrying all the weight on your shoulders." I promised. I feel like I'm bumming off of Jess and I can't stand that feeling.
"Bell, it's fine. Stop stressing! I love you and I couldn't think of anybody else I would want to start the journey of becoming an adult with."
"You are the best jess."
"well DUH BELLLL" she yelled making me laugh.
After a few hours of driving we finally arrive at our new apartment. We are in love with it. It is so much bigger than our old one. We have an amazing view of the city. It has two bed rooms and two bathrooms. Which I am super excited about since we had to share a bathroom at our old apartment and we were always bumping into each other.

We quickly unpacked everything and did our best to organize our stuff.
"Okay so since we have unpacked and showered....please please please let's go to the club tonight. It's a Friday night and I don't have to be at work until Monday. Please oh please Bell!!???" Jess begged me because she knew I was tired and wanted to just fill out job applications and go to bed. I thought about it and she is my best friend after all and she has always done stuff for me so I guess I can do this for her.
"Okay. Hurry up and get dressed and I'll get us a cab"
She squeals all the way to her room and starts getting ready. I run to my room and start curling my hair and put light makeup on after I call for a cab. I slip on this short tight black dress with an open back. I put on my diamond stud earrings and my silver bracelets. I slipped on my black stilettos and grabbed my clutch and my phone. I took one last look in the mirror and walked out of my room into the living room. I saw Jess walking out of her room with her long blonde hair flowing behind her wearing a tight short red dress almost identical to mine. She looked gorgeous as always.
"Why do you always have to look better than me Jess" I say playfully rolling my eyes at her.
"You are kidding right? You are drop dead gorgeous and you don't even see it. I swear Bell if I was a guy I'd pounce on you like a tiger."
I rolled my eyes and we both busted out laughing at each other. We hurried down to the lobby and ran out to get in our cab and went to the hottest club in the city.
After a few minutes we arrived and it was amazing. We were quickly let in. There were bright lights everywhere and loud music. We instantly ran to the dance floor and started dancing with each other.
"Can I buy you a drink?" I heard this deep sexy voice come from behind me. I turned around and saw this tall sexy man that was definitely drool worthy. I instantly look over at Jess thinking that he was talking to her, obviously. Why would anybody choose me over Jess.
"I think he's talking to you" she said with a wink and walked towards the bar. How could she leave me with a stranger that could be a rapist/serial killer for all I know. Great just great.
"She's right beautiful I was talking to you" he chuckled.
I thought about it for a minute. I mean it's not like I'm going home with this guy tonight. It's just a drink. "sure why not?" I say shrugging my shoulders. He placed his hand on my lower back to lead me to the bar. My back tingled at his touch and I felt my cheeks get hot but brushed the feeling away.
"What would you like beautiful? Something fruity maybe?" he asked. I smirked at him and looked at the bartender. "No I'll take a Manhattan please." I looked over to see him smirking back at me.
"ahh, a whiskey girl huh?" He says as he nudges my shoulder.
"You got that right" I said with a small wink.
After about 15-20 minutes sitting with Mr. sexy mystery man as we sipped on our drinks and exchanged small talk I found that I actually enjoyed his company and found him kind of funny.
"I never got your name" he said laughing at himself.
"Bella and you?"
"Kyle" he says giving me a heart stopping smile.
All of a sudden I saw a crowd forming near the hallway leading to the bathrooms and I heard yelling. What the hell was going on? I ran over and I saw Jess. My heart dropped. I saw that she had her dress half ripped and her face was slightly bloody. I broke through the crowd thanks to Kyle considering he was way bigger. He just bull dozed everybody over.
"Jess what happened? Are you okay? Come on let's go now." I grab her up and let her lean on me as we walk out. When we got outside the police were pulling up. We had to tell police what happened. Jess stated that a man came out of no where when she was walking out of the bathroom and he started trying to push her back into the bathroom and ended up tearing her dress. She fought back and he started beating her and continued to try to rape her. She was able to get loose from his grip and run away from him until she finally collapsed on the ground yelling for help. Thank goodness someone grabbed the man and held him until police arrived.
We were about to head to the hospital to make sure Jess was okay when Kyle grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him. "So I guess we're not hooking up tonight" he said with a chuckle. He chuckled like all this was a joke and honestly expected me to sleep with him tonight. Leave it to me to attract the ass holes.
"That's cute. You honestly thought I was going to hook up with you tonight. You are such an arrogant ass. You know what pretty boy I think I saw a prostitute over there on that corner, why don't you go ask her. Have a nice life." I pulled my wrist from him and grabbed some money and threw it at him "that's for the drink you bought me. Now I don't owe you anything." I turned and got into the cab with Jess who was laughing her butt off at Kyle's shocked face. I guess no girl has ever rejected him like that but I'm not like any other girl.
