BITTER SWEET LOVE

Chapter one

All I could hear were noises from outside. Definitely I knew that was my best friend arguing with my secretary as always.
"She's busy you need to come back later please. "
I could hear my secretary trying to confront her not to come in.
"I can go in anytime I feel like. I don't need your permission to go in. "
Always with the attitude. Suddenly my door flings open.
"What's up bitch? "
"What is it you want now Mawia . You know you can not always come in here and act as if this is a toilet. Actually a toilet is much better since one gets to knock. "
"Wow bitch, what's with the attitude. You need to stop working yourself  to death and enjoy life when its still fresh. You only live once you know. "
"Well as you can see, I'm busy and i need to finish this before going home."
"Its five in the evening for crying out loud. I've got a party to go to and so to be clear I'm not leaving your ass behind. "
She said standing up
"Why are you always this nagging? "I asked her groaning
"Cause I'm your best friend dummy. Now chap chap we need to go."
"This better be worth my time or else I'm killing you. " I told her standing up as I picked up my bag
"Trust me you'll love it. "She squealed.
I really didn't know what was with my best friend and parties but she was madly obsessed with them. She could always persuade me to them but after it all i always ended up dragging her drunk ass home or left stranded with strangers. But even with all that i still loved her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Start talking, how did you get access to this place and whom did you steal from?  "
I asked her. Damn, the outside view of the club looked epic. I've never really loved clubs but this one really brought the better view out of all of them.
"Relax girl. Its called connection. Let's go in or we won't enjoy what it has to offer us. "
The bouncer at the entrance asked for our passes and Mawia showed them to him. We were allowed to go in. The neon lights glowed as if they were calling out my name. Everybody was dressed elegantly. Well what else could you expect from such a fancy place.
"Lemme go get us drinks. "Mawia said leaving me in my world of admiration.  I wasn't even looking where I was going when I bumped into someone.
"Hey, watch it! "
She yelled out.
"Geez, it was an accident I'm sorry."
I said apologetically.
"You better be and next time watch where you going. "
She said walking away from me. That attitude though.  In seconds I drifted away from my confused world only to realize she had dropped her key.
"Hey! Wait!  "
I  called out as I bent to pick them up and ran towards her. Finally I was able to get a hold of her.
"You again! "She spitted out, "Just cause you bumped into me doesn't mean I'm into you. "
She smirked. I could hear everyone around us laugh. Why are studs always full of themselves?  Those words really hit deep. I felt like breaking down  but I had to compose myself and face her.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but i'm nowhere near getting interested in you, "I could see her smirk turn to a frown. Bingo. I felt proud of myself. Seems I still had it in me, "As the good person I am I only brought you your keys since you dropped them. Better change your bitter attitude into making you a responsible person. "
I could hear people gasp. I handed them to her and walked away from there. At least I put her in her place. No one talks to me how the want and walk away. I could tell that she was mad but who cares.
"Hey best friend, who was that?  "
She asked coming towards me.
"Well thanks a lot for leaving me stranded. "
"I'm sorry. I went to get us a drink. Tell me who was that. "
"Well that is someone I don't wanna talk about. "
"She's hot, damn.  "
"Then go after her. "
She really knew how to make me frustrated.
"Wait, "She gasped, "is that.. "
"I don't wanna and I really don't care who the fuck she is. "
I cut her short.
"Geez Fiona, chill out. Don't get all worked up on me its not like its my fault. "
"I'm sorry. Can we please change the topic. "
"What really happened here?"
Mawia asked me with a concerned face.
"Its that daughter of a biscuit.I mean who does she think she is. I bumped into her then she dropped her keys and since I'm so generous i decided to take them to her and she claims that I'm into her. Geez,she's so arrogant."
"And cute. Last time i checked you were into arrogant people.What changed?"
"Are you even listening to me??!"
I snapped.
"Yoh. Calm your tirries down. Let's go get you a drink."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The last thing i remembered was having a drinking spree with some random bitch i meant in the club.Aargh!My head. Mawia i better not get a hold of you. How I reached in my condo,i can't really recall. I reached out for my phone to check the time. Holy cow! I was late for work and I had a meeting with an important client who wanted to invest in the company. I was complete mess and showering was the last thing on my mind. How did i get out of my last night clothes in the first place? Someone had some explaining to do. I picked up the nearest skirt and blouse i got and wore them. I wasn't even sure if i did my buttoning in order but who cares. I reached out for my bag and shoes and went downstairs. To my surprise my house keeper had already arrived. That was a clear indication that i was really late.
"Uum..good morning miss."
She was really shocked by my presence in the house at this time of the day.
"Good morning too Fenly."
"Do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?"
"No I'll pass your offer.I'm really late for work.Some water and aspirins will do."
She got them for me as i wore my shoes.
"Thank you. I'll see you in the evening. Maybe some nice dinner."

"Where have you been? I've tried calling you but your phone is not going through? Did you get drunk last night? You are a real definition of a mess"
That was my secretary raging with furry.
"Relax. I'm now here"
"Do you know I had to convince the client to stay for some few minutes. She's really pissed of with the fact that you are late."
"Where is she?"
"In the board room."
"Give me the files needed for the meeting then."
"They are on your office table. You were supposed to go through them before your meeting but you now have to find a way make the meeting successful."
"No worries Charles I got this."
I assured him with a smile.
"Here,have some mint. Your breathe still smells of alcohol."
"Thank you."
I went to my office,took the required files and headed for the board room. I really needed to give an explanation on why i was late. I paused near the door,took a deep breathe and entered the room so confidently.
" I'm sorry for being so late i...."
I couldn't believe my eyes. I suddenly ran out of oxygen. Can somebody please tell me this day isn't real.
