CHAPTER ONE
Eleanor’s pov
The music booming from the invisible speakers immediately eased my nerves. I just clocked eighteen and my parents had permitted me to have a good night. Whatever that meant. My two best friends, Sarah and Clara were already dancing and I realized it was time to join them. I was the birthday girl after all
Smiling broadly I was suddenly in a very good mood. Eleanor, you just turned eighteen and life is mostly good. I told myself as I moved my body to the music. Sarah and Clara soon joined me and we went one, two steps clapped, shook our butts, and twirl in that other. We were soon laughing and I knew it was not a mistake coming to this place.
I swayed my waist and threw my hands in the air as I wiggled my waist from side to side while singing along. I was screaming at the top of my voice and smiling. I was young and free and healthy. “These are the days that never die. The days I’ll look back to in the future so if I don’t live now when will I live”. I said to myself as I got more and more into the party mood.
A couple of other songs came up and we were ready to get a drink and chill before dancing again.
“That was amazing, Goodness where did all that energy come from?” Sarah asked as we took our seat at the far end of the club, which was directly opposite the entrance. We chose that seat to ogle fine men and giggle. Can’t blame us though. It was like the goddess chose to unleash very hotly, strong, charming, and oozing strong sex appeal male wolves and placed them only in our pack. We were just admiring her handiwork if you ask me. Because she did amazingly well.
We ordered a bottle of Baileys and soon we were drinking and talking about nonessential things.
I was midway through chugging my glass content when suddenly a group of very fine guys found their way into the club. They were four of them in total, three of them being guys and the last, a girl that looked slightly older than me.
“Guys look at your four o’clock slowly” I whispered.
“Tell me those are Greek gods because since I was born I’ve not seen such good-looking men” Sarah said and I affirmed by nodding my head.
“Except in books and k-dramas,” I added
“Fucking hell! Now I want to get laid” Clara said
“That’s stale news my dear” I added and we all laugh
“But seriously they are beautiful, all three of them. Do you think they are single? Is that girl their girlfriend?” I asked as I turned to stare one more time. I locked eyes with the hottest one of them and I froze as he stared at me and winked. Holy fucking shit. He winked
I looked away when began to pound
“Darrrrrrrrn it!” I slurred as the girls looked at me confused
“What’s going on?” Clara asked
“One of the guys caught me looking and winked at me,” I said, using my hand to hit my forehead, feeling so silly.
“Eleanor is about to get laid. Eleanor is about to get laid." Clara said in a sing-song voice
“Please shut up, I’m not going to get laid,” I said while blushing.
“I think you should. You are eighteen and a virgin!” Sarah admonished.
“I’m not ready”
“If you say so, but dude if any of those men tell me to get down on my knees tonight. I’ll do that without thinking twice” Sarah added while slowly sipping her drink
I pretend gasped and added “you hoe” while laughing out loud
“Yes, yes, a friend of a hoe” Sarah said trying to be smug
I stood to go get us another bottle of Baileys when my eyes spotted the one person I have been avoiding for months.
Adrian!
Adrian was my boyfriend who cheated on me on his birthday. I broke up with him after and I’ve been avoiding him ever since.
I turned and tell the girls
“Adrian is here”
“Where?” Clara asked confused
“He is at the bar talking to the bartender” I whispered sitting back because I couldn’t bump into him, didn’t want to, didn't pray to.
They turned and saw him and the f word flew out of their mouths.
I suddenly felt this strong urge to use the restroom so I excused myself.
