The Better Me

Chapter 2 | Dancing With A Stranger (PART I)

The luxurious five star night club stood before us in its glorious expensive state. Neon lights attached on every corner of the building made the venue much appealing to the public eye, in a way that those who had no plans of going in there would certainly have second thoughts about it.

Though I had the habit of passing by the club on my way to school, the beauty of it seemed more prominent in the dark night. The red neon sign 'Julie's Night Out' definitely stood out amongst others. The night club was for the elite and wealthy, and if the unique appeal of the club didn't tell you that, then the long queue in front of the entrance would definately prove it to you.

Turning to the girls who were both awestrucked by the club's view I asked, "Are we supposed to wait in line?"

Noticing the long line of people, Kina had a doubtful look but Sofia seemed a bit more confident, "Of course not" she assured, "We came here to celebrate your birthday and that is exactly what we would do"

"How?" Kina questioned, "I'm sure that acquiring a VIP membership isn't enough to enter" she stated.

Sofia smiled at us, "If I was planning to go in with just a VIP card then I wouldn't have bothered coming here in the first place, don't you trust me?"

"Being the kind of person that you are, it is very difficult on my part to say yes" I said.

Kina also nodded her head in agreement.

Our response didn't seem to faze her because with another smile from her, she told us, "Come on girls, follow me"

She adjusted the pink skin fitting dress she had on and made her way past the long queue, ignoring the small protests that came from them, Sofia walked with confidence until she stood face to face with the intimidating bouncer.

"Do you think we should make an escape right now?" Kina asked while staring at the scene before her.

Shrugging my shoulders I replied, "Sofia seems pretty confident in what she's doing"

Kina sighed, "Sofia is always confident in everything she does, even if it's in the stupidest thing"

Well she was actually right about that but we too acted stupid by following her each time and my statement was proven when Kina held my arm and walked us towards where Sofia was still busy talking to the bouncer.

Seeing us approach, Sofia turned to the big man and pointed her manicured finger at us. Questions ran through my mind but they all instantly stopped once the bouncer made way for us, Sofia was the first to enter followed by Kina and I.

"What just happened?"

I heard Kina ask but my mind was presently more occupied by the amazing view of the interior. If the outside was awestrucking then the inside was definately heavenly. Red neon lights shone everywhere above the dancing clubbers and those who were settled by the bar drinking and conversing with others.

It screamed expensive, luxurious, five star and VIP everywhere.

"He's my cousin" replied Sofia.

I didn't believe her one bit.

"This is amazing" I whispered but Sofia managed to hear me above the loud music.

"Wait until you see the VIP section" she said, pointing to a white curved staircase leading to what seemed a restricted area.

We immediately made our way to the stairs where another huge bouncer stood, seeing our VIP cards, the man allowed us access to what seemed to be a more heavenly place.

Climbing up to the section, we walked into what seemed a red large room, with various red sofas and tables placed in different areas, a dance floor and a bar filled with the most expensive drinks you could ever think of.
