Chantel POV
Walking sluggishly out of the Elite restaurant,I walked to the road and tried to catch a ride. I'm so tired and the worst part of it all is that Sonia, my best friend, isn't in town, she's out for business purposes. If she is around at least she would prepare dinner for me. As though the day was in my favor, time ran as fast as I prayed for.
It can be really frustrating for one person to have numerous part time jobs and still can't afford a proper meal. Even at a young age I already perceived how unfair life would be to me. The fact that other kids had their both parents and I'm left with one alone gave me that idea. The worst part of it all is that my mom doesn't even want me to ever talk about my father. As she said, I believed, my dad passed away when I was just a kid. That was the only information she gave me about him.
I guess she doesn't want to remember her painful past so I never mentioned that till she went into a comatose state.
"Hey Chantel." Someone called out from behind and I turned to the direction of the voice.
"Is this you?It's been two years now since I last set my eyes on you. Come here my child." Miss Peace my mom's supposed best friend said as she engulfed me in a hug.
How is she here all of a sudden? Out of the blues she's standing right infront of me. What happened when she was the only hope I had on earth? When my mom entered into a comatose state she disappeared, I searched the whole city for her but she was nowhere to be found.
"I came back here to see you. How is your mom Margret fairing?" She inquired as she broke from the hug.
"She's still fighting for her life and she looks as dejected and pale as everyone in the world left her." I said with rage and Miss Peace lips fell ajar.
"I have been busy lately, trust me I had they both of you at the back of my mind." She said then her phone beeped and she looked at the caller ID and her countenance changed immediately.
"Please take this, call me in two days time, there's something about your mom you must know." She whispered while looking sideways as though someone invisible to me was following her, after saying those words she ran out.
I wasn't even given the time to think about her actions when my phone beeped and I brought it out from my pant pocket. "Hey birthday girl!". Sonia screamed from the other line leaving a smile on my lips.
If not for her, I didn't even recall that today is meant to be special as it's my birthday but just like every other day it has already ended. '`How's work going over there?''I inquired from her.
"Don't ask me that, Today is your day babes, Don't tell me that because I ain't there you won't keep to what you said you would do in your twenty second birthday." I smiled at that because frankly speaking that's impossible right now.
"Get drunk and have mind blowing sex!" We both exclaimed in unison and I walked to the nearby road bench and sat down.
"So get down on it immediately!" Sonia said with a high pitch of excitement.
"I don't have money to waste..."She cut me short immediately.
"It's your day girl, spending that little cash to make yourself happy is worthwhile." She assured me and I think that's the only encouragement I needed to stand on my feet and walk to a nearby club.
"I don't think I can afford a gigolo for tonight,if I can't then I would just fulfill my wish of getting drunk maybe in my next birthday I can do that." I suggested but I know Sonia wasn't having it my way tonight.
"If you won't find a gigolo then don't get drunk to avoid being in danger, In your next birthday we'll celebrate it together." She said so as to brighten up my mood.
"Go in there, drink yourself to stupor and take a really hot guy with abs home, make me proud baby." She said then hung up the call and immediately my eyes sighted a man walking past me to the club. His clothes screamed majesty and his composure says it all, he doesn't belong here.
The minute the door of the club closed that I got a hold of myself and inhaled then exhaled before walking in. I scanned the entire place and found out that the seats where all occupied. My shoulders slumped as I turned to walk out of the club but then I noticed that the man that just walked in now is sitting all alone.
I walked up to him and tapped on his table to get his attention as the entire place is so noisy. "Can I sit?''I asked and he looked up then nodded his head then turned back to his tablet.
I signaled the waiter to get me a bottle of champagne and in a few minutes he did. As I lifted the glass to my lips the man sitting just beside me said "Happy birthday." I was forced to bring my glass down to the table and for some unknown reason my heart began to palpitate.
"How do you know it's my birthday?"I inquired and without smile or grin on his face. "I overheard your conversation." He stated
"Ohh, thanks." I replied as I gulped down the entire content of my glass.
I seized this opportunity to study his features. He has beautiful blue eyes that can bore holes into someone's heart, then his nose stood straight as though it was sculptured,a perfect piece of art. His lips are full and enchanting,even though he refuses to smile,his dimples don't need him to strain himself for it to be obvious. He's the definition of a Greek god.
"You don't look happy as a birthday girl."He said as he placed his elbow on the table and stared at me with those beautiful orbs of his.
I didn't know what to say to him, so I just refilled my glass and gulped it down. I think I'm already feeling tipsy. "What do you want? Any birthday wish you did love to fulfill?" He asked as he took a sip from his glass.
It felt awkward to tell a stranger what I wanted as my birthday gift but then I found myself saying, "I need a gigolo for the night."
"Then I will be your gigolo."
