New rules

"After Dark"

Angela looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked spectacular tonight, her long black hair was slightly curled and her green hazel eyes were outlined with a soft purple eye pencil making her eye colour stand out, a hint of nude gloss on her lips made the impression of plumper lips. 

she was wearing a sparkly black cocktail dress that she bought at a sample sale from Diane Von Fursentberg. It put a dent in her bank account but it was so worth it, the way it hugged her in all the right places was exactly what she needed tonight, she looked fabulous and she knew it.Her best friend Jessica invited her to the opening night of a famous nightclub "After Dark"which was supposed to be the "It place" for people to be seen at.

Angela phone rang, the caller ID said Jessica, she picked up the phone and answered. 

"Angela I've decided that we take a taxi instead to the club because girl tonight we are going to drink until we pass out"Jessica said as she laughed, Angela smiled and said "looking forward, call me when you're close so I can come down". "Of course, see you soon!" Jessica replied and then hung up the phone. 

Angela smiled as she put down the phone and then did something she never does. actually gave herself a pep talk while staring straight into the mirror. 

"Tonight you're going to get laid, you're going to meet a really good looking guy and you'll invite him back here, no more being shy, no more holding back. Its time to be fierce and show guys what you want and how you want it" 

She didn't know if she believed the words she was saying to herself in front of the mirror because she's so used to being screwed over with guys, this time she had to take control to prevent herself from getting hurt. She always had the tendency to fall in love with the wrong guys and the wrong guys fell in love with her which just ended up in a mess. Why can't she find a guy who would want to properly date her and treat her right? currently there isn't any answers to that question but she hoped that one day there would be. 

Her phone rang making her jump. She answered the phone "Jessica are you here already?" and then Jessica says "Yes I am, come downstairs", "okay I'm coming" Angela said and then hung up. Angela rushed into her bedroom, took her Louis Vuitton evening bag and sprayed her favourite perfume "coco madmoseille intense eau de perfume"and then picked up her keys and went out of her apartment. She took off her Jimmy Choo heels and walked down the stairs. When she was finally on the ground floor, she pushed the heavy door and felt the breeze of the autumn air. She put back her heels on and saw the taxi waiting for her with Jessica waving frantically waving at her. 

"you look fabulous! Angela you always smell fabulous, tell me what is that?" Jessica asked her as she ogled her. 

"its the new Chanel perfume, you know the coco madmoseile intense? by the way you look fabulous! where is your dress from?" Angela said as she looked at her best friend Red off the shoulder dress which revealed a bit of cleavage and the dress was long but there was a sexy slit to show off Jessica toned legs. 

"Its from Isabel Marant, the dresses that came out of her recent collection are just beautiful if I could afford it I would just buy it all!" Jessica says as she winks at Angela. 

The rest of the way they gossiped about the latest news and then the Taxi stopped and Jessica payed the taxi driver.  They got out of the taxi and Angelas eyes widened as she took in her surroundings. The Club was huge, there was already a line of people waiting to enter the club dressed in different outfits, smoking cigarettes and laughing with their friends as they were waiting in excitement to experience the new club.

 Angela and Jessica stood in line as well, There were a group of guys standing behind them, all of them gorgeous and probably Scandinavian because of their blonde hair, blue eyes. Jessica nudged her and said "tonight you have to get laid, smile and flirt and then go in for the kill. don't be scared". Angela smiled and then took a sneaky look back at the guys standing behind them. a little voice in her head said to her maybe Jessica is right, there isn't anything to be scared of. plus a one night stand doesn't have to lead to relationship necessarily. tonight is about having fun and thats exactly what you should have. 

Soon enough the bouncers started letting people in. The bouncer smiled at them as they were let into the club and Angela and Jessica stopped in shock as they took in their surroundings. Music was blaring through the speakers, a huge bar with purple lights and bartenders dressed in ripped jeans with white shirt that says "after dark" in bold red letters were waiting for people to approach them. one of the bartenders caught her eye and winked at her. He had short dirty blond hair and blue eyes. He was really cute and she was totally blushing from afar. fortunately it was dark so Jessica couldn't see her blushing.  

They went to the bar, Angela made sure to lead Jessica to that bartender who winked at her. They got to the bar and there he was in the flesh, looking even more gorgeous upclose then he did from afar. He smiled and said to her "So what can I get for you?", Jessica was about to say but Angela cut her off "what do you recommend?" she said flirtatiously. The gorgeous bartender bit his lip and leaned in and said "depends, what do you like?". Angela breath hitched in her throat as she felt the heat of his words on her skin. "I like something sweet" she replies and he then in one swift motion pours her something in a shot glass. "try this" he says to her with a mischievous smile on his face. She sniffed the liquid in the shot glass, it smelled sweet. She downed it in one go and was surprised how much she liked it. "what is that?" she said, "its a special Japanese drink called "sake" he said to her, he also poured Jessica a shot and she nodded in approval after downing it. "whats your name beautiful?" he asked her, she blushed and said "my name is Angela" and yours?, "my name is Sebastian" he says to her. "well Sebastian its nice meeting you but I'm taking this one to the dance floor" Jessica says as she grabs Angela by the arm and says to her with excitement in her voice "what was that? he was drooling over you! you should have asked for his number!". Angela looked at Jessica and said "I can't ask for his number, I don't think bartenders are allowed to do that? he doesnt want to lose his job on his first night here Jessica". Jessica shrugged and led the way to the dance floor. 

When they reached the dance floor, there were tons of people dancing to the beat of the music. She and Jessica danced for what seems like hours. when they felt they couldn't dance anymore they took off their heels and as they were walking out of the club, she felt someone grab her hand. she turned and saw it was Sebastian, he smiled at her and said "Angela I would like to take you out to dinner. can I get your number?", Angela smiled and said "give me your phone". He gave her his phone and she typed her phone number quickly and then said goodbye. 

They got out of the club, and hailed a taxi. When the taxi driver pulled up, she gave the taxi driver Jessica address and then dropped Jessica off at home and continued to her apartment. She got out of the taxi and payed. She walked up the stairs, carrying her heels in her hand thinking about the amazing night she had, how she met Sebastian and how adorable and sexy he was when they were at the bar. then she had a very cheeky thought. Her plan was to get laid tonight but she would have definitely slept with Sebastian if he wasn't a bartender who was working the entire night but she would have a chance to sleep with him if he texted her in the morning. the word if troubled her but she waved off the thought as she got to her apartment, unlocked the door and crawled into her bed and fell asleep with a smile on her face as she dreamt of Sebastian.
