"Raiza are you ready?" Amrin asked her roommate.
"in a minute" Raiza replied
"we are running late woman come out fast" Amrin chided
"in a MINUTE" Raiza yelled
Amrin stalked away grumbling to herself while inside the bathroom a dolled up Raiza stared at her image in the mirror and smiled. There was confidence in her eyes but there was also a hidden fear that ran through her body causing her heart to race.
"I can do this," she told her self then starting into the eyes of her own image in the mirror she declared " You can do this. We can do this. Tonight is our night lets get this show on the road" she smiled and then bust out laughing.
"Oh my God I have gone mental I'm prep talking myself in the mirror" she laughed again before her roommate knocked
"Are you talking to yourself again" Amrin called out
Raiza rolled her eyes "no" she replied
"I live with you and know you well enough to know when you act like a mental. Now come out we are already late" she banged the door for the effect
"OK OK," Raiza opened the door and stepped out in the light so Amrin could get a good look at her.
Wide-eyed her roommate stared "are you planning to get laid tonight" Amrin inquired curiosity playing in her eyes
"shut up" Raiza dismissed her comment
"I won't mind it if you are planning to" she encouraged.
"you know very well the answer to that, now let's go. Or was that we are late screams only to get me out of the bathroom? " she teased.
Amrin sighed. "You should start living a little you know, just a little."
Raiza rolled her eyes as she balanced herself to put on her sexy heels especially for the night. They locked the door behind themselves and entered the lift. As they reached the ground floor the door pinged and opened to the reception of their apartment building. They lived in one of the city's luxurious apartments. It belonged to Amrin's stepfather. They didn't have to pay rent but they shared other costs. It worked well for both.
Raiza was paid well being an event organizer for Dazzle Affair an upcoming e-commerce store. Armin was the Human Resource manager for the same firm. They worked well at work and in their private life. Amrin parked her car at the Taj Hotel and got out handing her key to the valet. They walked to the security checkpoint and looked at each other
"Ready," Raiza asked
"As ready as I can be" she declared.
They entered the party and were immediately greeted by the dancing lights and loud music. Some of her team members noticed Amrin and quickly surrounded her. Raiza escaped the group to catch up with her team to get an update on the checklist.
Her assistance Ravi arrived with the clipboard at his side.
"you look fetching" he complimented
" and you look dazzling" she replied
"Oh just put something together in the last minute" he started with a swish of his wrist
She knew petty well he had shopped for the specific occasion weeks ago. But she smiled and got started with the clipboard.
"where are we with the singers?" she started
"arrived. Backstage prepping" he replied in his diva's voice
"what about of guest of honour?" was her next question
"Arrived" he declared pointing to the opposite corner and winking "hot and delicious is assigned to the one and only Mr Bakshi"
