Cassandra’s pov 🎋🎄
7:30pm!
“Isn’t that make-up enough?” Brad asked for the umpteenth time already.
“No! It’s no way close to enough!” Vero barked at him.
He sighed and slumped back onto the chair he was sitting, from the mirror I could see him looking at his wrist watch and gro-ned.
Ok, so, Vero and I arrived home since three hours ago, we’ve been using this three hours to get ourselves ready for tonight’s clubbing.
Brad even came home and met us getting ready, but up till now, we still aren’t anywhere near done.
I think I kinda understand Brad’s frustration right now, we’re kinda delaying his chances of getting any hot girls.
“I bet we’ll get there when the club is closed” he complained again.
“One more word from you and I swear, I’ll cut off your tongue and feed it to vultures!” Vero snapped at him.
Her words frightened him and he shut up immediately, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath,,,I couldn’t help but chuckled.
“You really have to hurry up tho” I told her.
She rolled her eyeballs.
“Of course, Cinderella” she replied.
My phone’s screen light up and I reached for it, I could see an unopened envelope at the top, which meant a new message just came in.
But when I clicked on it I couldn’t see anything, it was blank and I grunt.
“It’s gonna cost a lot repairing this phone” I grumbled.
“Yeah, it’s damaged pretty bad” Vero replied.
I dumped it back on the dresser, since I can’t use it for anything other than receiving of calls.
“You still haven’t told me how you succeeded in damaging it” Brad said.
“I told you, someone bumped into me and knocked it off, then an oncoming car ran it over” I explained.
He got up and reached for it, he stared at it with a small frown.
“You’ll have to manage it tonight, I’ll get it fixed tomorrow”
“No, no, it’s a gift from you, it wouldn’t look good if you’re the one taking care of it now” I said.
“I don’t mind”
“But,,,”
“Cinderella!” Vero cut me off. “He said he doesn’t mind, don’t stop him,,, after all, your money would be safe” she said.
I looked at Brad through the mirror, he’s glaring daggers at her.
“Cassie, isn’t as heartless as you,,, you’re just the devil’s queen!”
Vero scoffed.
“If I’m the devil’s queen, then you’re the devil”
“You,,,,,”
“Guys, guys, please!” I interrupted Brad.
They both continued glaring at each other, I could feel as though they’re having a serious fight right now.
“Let’s go out in one piece tonight, please” I told them.
Vero scoffed loudly and tore her gaze from Brad, she turned her attention to me.
“You’re right, I don’t have time for nuisance!”
“You,,,,,”
Brad didn’t have anything to say, he simply sat grumpily on my bed and frowned deeply.
In most dramas and novels that I do read, two people that always fight like this, always ends up together,,,,who knows if that’s gonna be their fate too.
I’ll be the happiest person on earth if that’s their fate, I smiled wildly.
After a few touch, Vero clapped her hands and broke into a satisfied smile.
“All done!”
She moved away from the light so I can see my face, I touched my face in awe and gasped loudly in delight.
“Vero, this is beautiful” I said.
“Well, thank you” she replied.
She spent a lot of time on my face, but she didn’t tempered my natural look,,,she simply enhanced my appearance.
“You look beautiful tonight, sweetheart” Brad said, after he’s done admiring my face.
“Thank you, this is all thanks to miss Vero” I told him.
Vero raised her shoulders proudly, she raised her hands and started waving as if she’s walking the red carpet.
Brad stared at his watch once more, he snatched his car keys and grabbed my hand.
“Let’s go, the club ain’t waiting for us” he said.
“Yeah, right,,,,I agree with him this time” Vero said and three of us laughed.
“Wait, my phone and purse” I said.
I reached for them and we rushed out.
••••••••••••
JJG nightlife!
Cars were already parked everywhere when we arrived, there was hærdly any space for cars to reverse.
Luckily, Brad saw an empty space which a car just drove out from at a corner, he quickly drove in and parked his car.
Feeling ever to taste the nightlife, I opened the door and jumped out.
A bright smile appeared on my face as I scanned the place, with all these expensive cars, I’m sure they’re gonna be a lot of rich dudes here.
“JJG nightlife?” I read out the club’s name.
“Yeah” Vero replied beside me.
I laughed briefly.
“Such a cliche name” I said.
Brad came to our side, he stared at the name for a brief moment.
“It’s not so bad, I think it’s a nice name” he said.
Vero and I rolled our eyeballs, as if it’s something we’ve planned.
“Whateves!” We said simultaneously.
I ran out of the parking lot towards the building, but stopped a few meters away from the entrance.
I spread my hands very wide, as though they’re my wings.
“Can’t wait to rock this place!” I exclaimed loudly, almost too loudly.
Brad chuckled behind me, he threw his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to himself.
“My dear Cinderella, please don’t forget your shoe at the ball tonight” he said.
He and Vero shared a knowing look, then shared a laugh which earn them a glare from me and I elbowed his ribcage,,,he let out a grunt.
Brad was indirectly warning me not to get drunk and forget myself, because it happens everytime we go clubbing.
I would be so drunk that I won’t even realize when I’ll get home, or even recognize who’s gonna bring me home.
“I’ll be sure to disappoint you tonight, I’m not forget my shoe!” I snapped at him.
He and Vero laughed again, at the tone by which I replied him,,,I even cracked up a bit.
“Let’s get in” Vero said.
We headed towards the entrance without wasting anytime, but just when we were about to go in, two bouncers stopped us.
“Excuse us?” Vero asked.
“Sorry, ma’am, but where’s your pass?” One of the bouncers asked us.
I don’t know their names, so I’m just gonna describe them per their appearance.
One of them was bald headed and the other was an albino, we’re being questioned by the albino.
“Pass?” Vero asked.
“Yes, ma’am” he replied.
Brad, Vero and I shared a confused look, then we turned back to him.
“Wait,,, we aren’t VIPs, do we still need a pass?” I asked.
“Yes”
“But all the clubs I’ve been to, your ID is the only requirement to get in and we have our IDs here with us” I told him.
We quickly searched ourselves and pulled out our IDs, then show them to him.
“I’m afraid, we can’t let you come in without a pass” the bald headed said.
“Hold on, this is our first time coming here, how are we supposed to know we need a pass to enter?” Brad asked, Vero and I nodded in agreement.
“We’d advise you go back, we won’t appreciate it if there’s a scene here” the albino said.
Vero’s brows arched.
“We aren’t here to cause a scene, do we look like troublesome people to you?” she asked, her voice rising a bit.
I cleared my throat and leaned closer to her.
“Well, with the tone you’re using right now, it seems like we are” I told her.
“Alright, it’s our fault for not knowing the pass thing, but since it’s our first time here, can’t you make an exception for us?” Brad asked calmly.
They shook their heads in disagreement, which made me scoffed mentally, their rules here are just too rigid!
“What’s going on here?” I heard a familiar voice asked from behind us.
We all turned to look at the person, I broke into a smile when I realized it’s the guy I met at JJ construction,,,, Jayden!
I gleefully glided towards him, slapped his shoulder lightly.
“Hey! Jayden, fancy seeing you here!” I said.
“Cassandra” he called my name quietly, as if he’s surprised.
“I didn’t know our second meeting would be in a club, what are you doing here?” I asked.
It’s obviously a stupid question because everyone comes to clubs for fun, but I think asking Jayden that wasn’t stupid.
He doesn’t seem like someone’s interested in parties and women, he looked decent.
“Actually, my friend dragged me here” he answered my question.
“Oh”
His friend stepped forward, I gulped quietly when his friend flashed me a smile. It’s really true what they say, show me your friend and I’ll tell you who you are,,, Jayden’s friend is also a Greek god on his own.
But my case is quiet different, I have beautiful friends but I’m ugly.
“Hi, I’m Stephen Colbert” Jayden’s friend (Stephen) said, stretching his hand for a handshake.
I quickly shook his hand.
“I’m Cassandra, but my acquaintances call me Cassie” I replied.
His eyes trailed my body, he wolf whistled.
“Bambi, you’re hot!” He exclaimed and I giggled.
Brad quickly rushed to my side and snatched my hand from his, while Jayden smacked his head.
“Ouch! I was simply appreciating God’s creativity” Stephen winced.
“Well, don’t appreciate it” Jayden said.
I kinda noticed a rasp of annoyance in his words, but that might just be my imagination.
“Welcome, Mr Grassi” the bouncers greeted Jayden.
We turned our attention to them, I frowned slightly when I noticed they bowed their heads slightly, as if showing their respects.
Is Jayden some kind of popular person? Or is he their regular customer?
“Are you a regular customer?” I asked Jayden.
“No, miss, he’s,,,,,,”
Jayden suddenly cleared his throat loudly, as if a bone was stuck in it and he’s trying to get it out.
“Are you ok?” I asked him.
“Yeah” he replied.
I wanted to pat his back, but Brad stopped me and I realized he’s staring at Jayden as if he’s shocked.
My gaze turned to Jayden and I also realized he’s glaring at Brad, though it seemed as though he’s sending a message.
“Stephen and I always come here when we’re bored, that’s how they’re familiar with me” he said.
“Oh” I nodded in understanding.
“So,,, what’s going on? Why aren’t you guys coming in?” He asked.
I sighed.
“Well, unfortunately we can’t come in, we don’t have a pass” I told him.
He nodded, then turned to the bouncers, with his hands shoved in his p-nts pockets, making him look like a boss.
“Let them in” he said.
“Yes, sir”
Just like that, the bouncers made way for us.
“Come in, please” they said.
Vero and i exchanged looks, then walked in very tall with our heads raised high,,,we released a scoff when walking past them.
•••••••••••••
We made it in,side, it was already filled to the brim.
Smell of sweats mixed with cigarettes and alcohol lingered in the air, loud music was blaring too, I bet it’s gonna be hærd hearing the person next to you.
Some girls were already on the dance floor, sending guys crazy with their killer’s move.
I admit defeat, Vero and I are no where near this girls when it comes to dancing, though we’re trying too.
“Are you guys coming with us to the VIP booth?” Stephen asked.
“No, we’re staying here” I answered for the three of us.
“Why?” He asked again.
Vero rolled her eyeballs.
“Dumba*s, it’s obviously because we can’t afford it” she said.
Brad flicked her forehead for running her mouth, she glared at him in anger, but controlled herself.
“She was just joking” I said and laughed awkwardly.
“I know the boss here, he’s my very good friend. How about you girls come with us to the VIP section?” Stephen suggested.
Vero and I moved our gaze towards the VIP section, we saw rich dudes drinking and laughing amongst themselves.
It seemed as though they’re having a great time, but that’s not true,,, what’s fun to those rich dudes, are damn boring to us!
My eyes moved to Jayden, he’s standing quietly and observing the place, it seemed as though he doesn’t want us to even come with them.
I sighed mentally.
“Don’t bother, we’ll stick with our regular section, it’s way fun here” I told Stephen.
“Here?” Stephen asked and looked around disgustingly.
“Yeah, what’s wrong with here?” I asked him back.
He pointed at a group of potbelly, white bearded men.
“There are lots of perverted old men here, do you really wanna stay here?” He asked.
I waved my hand.
“Don’t worry about that, we can take care of ourselves” I answered.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of hot girls here tonight, they won’t even take notice of us” I assured him.
He nodded, threw his arm around Jayden’s shoulders and flashed me a smile.
“Alright, then, we’ll take our leave”
“Yeah, see you when I see you”
He nodded and headed straight for the VIP booth, dragging Jayden along.
Vero nudged me when they’ve left, she wagged her brows at me teasingly.
“Who were those hot stuffs?” she asked.
“Oh, I only knew Jayden before now, I met him at JJ construction,,,he was a candidate at the interview too”
“What?!” Brad suddenly exclaimed.
Vero and I gave him a confused look at his sudden outburst, but he cleared his throat and shook his head.
“He was the one who bumped into me and broke my phone, he also helped me a lot during my interview,,,he helped me overcame my fear”
Brad scoffed at my words, he folded his arms on his chest and turned away.
What’s wrong with him? Does he know Jayden from somewhere? Do they have a beef?
“I think he has a soft s₱0t for him” Vero said.
I chuckled. “That’s not possible, we just met”
“Haven’t you heard of love at first sight? I guess that’s what happened” she explained.
“Don’t even think of it, you’re both from different worlds” Brad said.
I faced him. “Why do you think so? Do you know him?”
He shook his head.
“No, I just have a feeling he’s a rich guy, a very rich guy” he replied.
Vero hit his chest.
“Our Cinderella is a perfect match for anybody, wether he’s a multi-billionaire or,,,,,I don’t know, but she’s the best”
Brad sighed, his shoulders slumped down and I almost laughed, Vero is just like a pest in a plant.
Vero is the pest and Brad is the plant.
“Let’s go search for a table” he said, not wanting to argue with her.
Vero and I laughed at his defeat, then rushed after him.

VIP booth!
“Alright, Mr Grassi, care telling me where and how you encountered that bambi?” Stephen asked.
Jayden reached for his bottled water, popped the cover open and took a few gulps.
“Which Bambi?” he asked feigning oblivion.
“That one sitting over there”
Stephen said, he pointed at Cassandra who was laughing at something Brad said.
Jayden took a quick glance, his grip on his water tightened as he saw Brad’s hand on her lap, he clenched his jaw and quickly looked away from them.
“How did an introvert like you, managed to become aquatinted with a hot chica?” Stephen asked again.
“We’re not acquainted” Jayden replied.
“Oh? Really?”
Stephen paused, he studied Jayden’s expression and cackled quietly, which earn him a glare from Jayden too.
“But your body language says otherwise, besides, you seemed quite relaxed when you talked with at the entrance,,, isn’t that being acquainted?”
“No, I was just offering my help, I would that to anyone who’s stranded” Jayden denied.
“Right” Stephen rolled his eyeballs and decided to let it slide.
They carried on with their drinking.
Stephen’s eagle’s eyes were venturing the crowd of girls dancing on the dance floor, he’s even got his eyes on a particular girl and was already thinking of taking her home.
Meanwhile, Jayden’s attention was on a particular table downstairs, his narrowed eyes hærdened as he saw Brad touching Cassandra’s hair.
He balled his fist and tried to calm himself down, when he realized he’s finding it hærd to do, he tore his gaze off them and gulped down the remaining water he was holding.
“Jay, look!”
Stephen called his attention, he pointed at a girl who was dancing and swaying her h¡ps rhythmically to the music.
“I’m gonna take that girl home and f**k out her brains, what do you think?”
“Whatever” Jayden replied.
His dull response snatched Stephen’s attention from the girl, he turned and took a proper look at Jayden.
He followed Jayden’s gaze and his eyes landed on Brad and Cassandra, he turned to Jayden and saw him downing another bottle of water.
“You said you aren’t acquainted, then why are you getting all worked up?” He asked.
Jayden ignored him and continued downing his water, Stephen couldn’t bear watching him fill his stomach with water, hence he snatched it from him.
“What are you doing?” Jayden asked him, breathing heavily.
“You know how your battery runs out quickly when you’re emotionally down, you shouldn’t be thinking too much”
“I’m not thinking, I’m just suddenly so thirsty” Jayden replied.
Stephen nodded and scoffed, he slammed the bottle water on the table and grabbed a bottle of beer.
He popped the cover open and stretch it towards Jayden, Jayden arched his brows questioningly at him.
“What’s this?”
“You wanna drown your heartbreak and drain your battery, well, I’m offering you the quickest way to do that”
“Huh?”
“Yeah, drink this beer and you’re gonna run out of battery in two minutes” Stephen said, he shoved the beer in Jayden’s hand.
Jayden stared at the beer in his hand, it’s tempting, he was really tempted to take a gulp,,,after all, he haven’t sipped alcohol for decades, since his heart was injured.
He slammed the beer on the table and leaned back on his chair, his eyes subconsciously moved towards Cassandra’s table again.
She’s typing on her phone this time and Vero was whispering something in her ear, which is making her smile, Brad wasn’t sitting next to her anymore.
He looked away from them, he focused his eyes on his wrist watch.
“Do you have a thing for her?” Stephen asked.
“No” Jayden replied, shaking his head.
“Then why were you acting jealous, and filling your belly with water as if you’re heartbroken?”
Jayden stayed silent, it seemed like he doesn’t wanna answer him or he doesn’t have an answer.
“If you’re developing a feeling for her, then you should,,,,”
“I don’t have a thing for her” Jayden cut him off.
“Then why were you jealous when she was laughing with her male friend?”
“I wasn’t jealous”
“Oh, really?”
Jayden nodded, he got up and shoved his hands in pockets,,,he puffed out some air.
“I’ll be outside, I need some air” he said and headed out before Stephen could stop him.

“Bang me” she said.
Jayden frowned at her words, but she chuckled as it she’s just said something very funny.
“I wanna get laid! It’s a wild night, I’m da*n happy!” she shouted.
She got up and climbed onto the table, then continued shouting and giggling.
“I wanna get laid! I wanna get laid! Everybody, I wanna get laid!”
Her voice was very loud, it superceded the music and everyone turned towards her.
“I wanna get laid, I wanna,,,,,”
Jayden sprang up, he quickly caught her hands and slapped his hands over her mouth.
“Cassandra, that’s not something you can shout out” he whispered harshly in her ear.
But she’s too drunk and was oblivious of the situation, she giggled and bite his palm,,, he withdrew his hand at once.
“Cassandra!” He called warningly.
“I said I WANNA GET LAID!” she shouted even louder.
“That’s it, you’re coming home with me”
That being said, he rushed her out.
