I was sitting alone at the bar, drowning myself drink after drink. A few dozen people were scattered around here and there, rich business men cheating on their obedient wives with gold digging whores, oops! Pardon my french, young 'playboys' trying to find a naive girl to bed just to add to the list and people like me, drinking just enough to forget their name. I mean why wouldn't you? After all, your dirty little secrets were safe here, at the 'La Merage'. Well, at least they're paid to be.
"I told you she'd be here" were the next words I heard while trying to keep my eyes open. After those words had come out I turned my head around to see my four best friends. Oh God! I really must be drunk, I meant three. Damon was just an ass who was, unfortunately, friends with my best friend Chase. Chantel and Elia were in front of the two.
"Oh V! Look at you" Elia looked at me with pity in her soft blue eyes.
I turned to give her a smile, well at least I thought I was smiling but it looked like I had eaten pile of cat vomit and had to pretend I enjoyed it.
Chase was rubbing up and down my back gently while Damon was staring at me intently. "Come, let's get you cleaned up". Chantel grabbed my hands and lifted me off of the stool with Elia and Chase in two. Damon strolling casually behind us.
No words were exchanged as I was dragged along to the restrooms. Chantel gently put me over the toilet seat and suddenly I was hurling and gagging, emptying the contents of my stomach into the polished toilet.
After a good ten minutes of emptying my stomach, I finally had the strength to get up off of the shiny floor. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for my next move. "What?"
After those words had come out of my mouth Chantel and Elia pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "C-c- can't breath guys". They both pulled back giggling and kissed each side of my cheek. Chase had then grabbed me into a bear hug and was rocking me back and fourth mumbling something about not being ready to see his 'baby' hurt and struggling. "Chase! Stop man handling Veronica". The next sound I hear is a massive smack. "Owww! Chantel what the fuck was that for!" Everyone including me was laughing at the hurt and bewildered expression Chase had on.
"You're just jealous it wasn't you".
"Oww! Okay okay stop!
As Elia was ruffling Chase's hair in comfort, I looked over to see Damon already staring at me intently. He noticed me looking and nodded his head towards me as a form of comfort I only see once a year, on this exact date.
I tilt my head slightly towards him in thanks and turn back around to see my friends staring at us silently.
"I think I need to go to the hospital" Chase laughed awkwardly trying to break the silence. "Yeah to get more brain cells" Chantel retorted.
"Ha ha so funny C" Chase looked at her with a blank stare.
"Why don't you guys just do the deed already, I can practically feel the sexual tension in the air". Damon put an arm around his best friend and started to imitate moans and high pitched groans, while Chantel looked mortified. Me and Elia were practically on the floor wheezing.
After their bickering had ended, Elia broke the silence "guys I hate to ruin the moment but we have school in nine hours and us girls need our beauty sleep". Chase rolled his eyes at the reminder.
"Come on, it's only five days a week. How about on the weekend we take the jet to Paris. Do some shopping and eat at V's favourite restaurant 'le Bon'".
"Sounds like a plan ladies. I'm going to head home, catch up on some sleep". Chase then turned to me "I'll definitely be seeing you tomorrow, angel". He winked at Chantel and ruffled Elia's hair. "Bro, you coming?" He turned to Damon.
Damon hugged both Chantel and Elia, and said his goodbyes . He then walked towards me and put his arm on my shoulder and was inching towards my ear. His hot breath hit the sensitive skin. " See you later, Veronica". He pulled back and had a faint smirk on his lips. I looked at him with a bored look on my face and he left not without looking back.
My best friends were too engrossed in a conversation with each other to notice the encounter. I interrupted their conversation. "Guys I think I need to sleep this off, I'm going to head home, call me tomorrow, I love you and thank you for tonight".
"No problem V, we've got you".
"Yeah, we love you, it's what we do".
After saying our goodbyes I walked outside towards my driver's limo, as the breeze wrapped around my face. "Home please, Andrew".
As soon as I got to my suite I took off all my clothes and makeup and flopped onto the bed, out like a light.
