"I'll be a slut if I'm in a relationship with my ex-boyfriend." Nicole's heart aches at the thought of Klaus, and she vows not to have anything to do with this person in her life. But an old school reunion changed everything, and when Klaus blatantly seduced her, she instantly became a spread-legged bitch. She didn't understand why she was addicted to him, just like taking drugs, she couldn't quit. Klaus wanted to get his ex-girlfriend back, but he started by signing a sex deal with her. . .
Nicole raised her 'already short gown' a bit higher and adjusted her make up once more as she stood at the entrance of the very expensive lounge selected for their party. It took her three months and a constant alarm reminder to decide if she was going to attend the reunion and now that she was here, she needed someone to tell her the party was over and she could go home for a rest.
She hated parties, especially dusk to dawn ones, where she needed to take panties to change into the next day. She hated getting wasted and crashing beside someone she didn't know for the night. She hated a lot of things, all that she once loved five years ago.
"Urghh!" Nicole let out a grunt of frustration. If she didn't let it out she might not be able to scale through the torment she would face tonight. Her heart pounded with great pressure and a question kept repeating in her head.
'Would he come?' No, he won't.
She knew he would come, but she couldn't help but answer the question herself. It was like a pain relief for her mental balance, it was what pushed her here with a little confidence boost.
'Relax Nicole, you just need to enjoy the party like a normal lady' she kept assuring herself. She had not taken a step forward to open the door for about thirty minutes now.
She was certain the party had already started. She deliberately arrived late so she could just sneak in without anyone's awareness, if that was possible, but here she was wondering why the hell they chose to lock the door. There was no way she was going in without getting caught.
Nicole moved a step closer to the door finally making up her mind to turn the knob and she heaved a heavy sigh bending the door handle as she opened the door widely.
Nicole's leg freezed as everyone in the room turned their heads towards her and Nicole could see a thousand eyeball stare at her. Everywhere was silent and yes, she was the main attention now.
"What the hell, Nicole!" A loud male voice broke the silence. "Its a reunion not a funeral! Is that a scarf?" A thunderous laugh followed after his words and Nicole could recognize the voice talking. It was the group comedian Denise, he always seem to make a joke about something and she was his first victim tonight.
"Hahaha" Nicole joined the others laughing too. It was stupid of her to have forgotten she had her scarf tied around her chest. Truth be told, she felt insecure about the opening breast space of the dress and she needed cover. It totally ruined the beauty of her dress.
"Who else is seeing Nicole's curve, her hips has gotten wider isn't it?" Richard said as he laugh and teased her and others joined him laughing too. Nicole let out a little blush.
"Nicole has been, hip-dogging all these years" Denise joked, not able to control his own laughter and all those that understood his joke roared in laughter too. Even Nicole let out a small chuckle.
"Damnit!" Cara cussed as Nicole pulled off the scarf from her chest revealing a soft, high up cleavage popping out from her dress. "Girl, how did you become so hot!" Cara couldn't help her complement. Nicole was a gem, a sparkling one in that dress and even as a lady, Cara needed to tell her.
"She got a job, that pays her well!" Denise attacked Cara's compliment back and there was thunderous laugh again. Cara raised her brows at Denise in disbelief for revealing to everyone that she didn't have a job and she stood up from where she sat and took a bottle of champagne from the table running after him in a threatening manner.
"Don't just stand there" Selena finally spoke after admiring Nicole for so long while others talked. She stood up and moved to the entrance where Nicole stood and dragged her from there. "We couldn't start the party without you" Selena said with a smile pushing Nicole to a seat. "Let the party begin!" Selena high pitched voice filled the room as she screamed happiness.
"Yes!" Everyone screamed with excitement too and laugh as music started playing. Nicole looked at her friends and a smile crossed her lips. Its been so long and she must admit that she missed them all.
"Yes!" She whispered under her breath too as she chuckled. She needed to take all shyness away and have fun. She had wasted lot of years being a boring girl and she needed that to change, even if it was just tonight.
Richard moved to Nicole and dragged her from her seat as he wiggle her to the beat of the music. Nicole finally let out a genuine laugh as he spin her around. Richard had always been her favorite person and she was glad to see him again.
Nicole released herself a bit more as she danced to the rhythm of the music. She had all night to spend with these guys and she needed to have the same amount of fun they were having before they all part ways again.
Denise, Richard, Cara, Selena and ... him, Were all reason for her beautiful existence in life and whatever fun she had encountered, she owed it to them.
While Nicole danced, she could remember the exact moments like this back then in school, the late night parties, the sneak from home, the alcohol and sex with - him. The h as a ppy moments, till he just changed.
Nicole suddenly stopped dancing as her source of fear clouded her brain again. Her heart giving a huge thud . He was not here...yet. What would she do when he comes in. She didn't even know how to react to show that she didn't care. Polite hugs are okay, dancing is not. Smiling is OK, too much enthusiasm is not. She set herself up to respond to many scenarios that could happen.
'You're over him, Nicole' Nicole told her self. Who the hell uses five years to get over a guy? Well it was her! And currently she didn't know if she was truly over him.
