"Hello? Yes Kira I'm still at work...of course I know what time it is...No I haven't forgotten it's Friday night. Hey, I'm just finishing up on some paperwork and I'll be there! Okay bye." Diana said, hanging up her phone. She had made plans with her friends for a girl's night out and apparently they were not letting her out of this one.
"When was the last time you even got drunk, D? You need this. You need to get out of that posh but depressing office of yours and loosen up. A few drinks never killed anybody you know. Look at you. You look like you haven't gotten laid in years, and I do hope I'm wrong." Kira had said. "I don't have time for such things Kira and you know it." Diana had countered, inwardly cringing at how right her friend was. Even her trusty vibrator wasn't doing the trick lately and it was getting really frustrating. "But alright, you have a point. I do miss you girls and I could use a few drinks. This Friday, OK?I will try my best. No promises." she had said.
And that was how she came to find herself in the backseat of her Audi wearing a blood red bandage Maxi dress with her signature black heels. "Thank you, Phillip." She said to her driver and stepped out, already dreading the huge hungover she was sure to have tomorrow. Kira had texted her a little while back that they were already inside and she knew exactly where they would be. The bar.
"OMG girl! You look like a vision in that dress! A sexy, confident vision. Believe me, one of these hot studs in here will be taking you home tonight." Kira said as soon as Diana walked up to them. Diana chuckled and sidled up to the high stool. " A martini please. On the rocks." She said to the bartender and turned to her best friend for the past sixteen years." Well I can't wait to meet the lucky bastard." she said, taking a long look at the people inside. This was one of the most prestigious clubs in the city and was frequented by the rich and famous. She could feel a pair of eyes on her, and sure enough, she turned just in time to see the most mesmerizing pair of chocolate brown eyes she had ever seen. She gasped and turned around." Kira, don't look but I just made eye contact with the most gorgeous man I ever saw. Six O'clock."
Kira turned. " Babes, you were right. He is absolutely delicious. And he's coming this way. Act cool." Diana's eyes widened. "What? I can't-" she started, but never finished because Mr. Hot and Mysterious stepped up to them. " Ladies. I don't believe we've met. I'm Damien. And you are?" he asked, turning the full intent of his gaze on Diana. Kira was staring wide eyed and giving Diana the thumbs up behind his back. Diana smiled at him, thanking her stars she went for the red lipstick. It always worked wonders in brightening her smile. "Dying for a drink. " she said. Damien smiled. " Beautiful and witty? I like that. One more , please. For the lady." he said to the bartender.
