It had been four days since Omari and Mayalika's date. Four days since she had heard from him. Rolling out of bed, Mayalika glanced hopefully at her phone. No new messages. She had felt foolish for believing he was a genuine guy who had liked her. She was stupid to think that he would actually stay around when she had asked to take things slow.

"You need to get in the shower." Abba proclaimed. Maya mumbled in protest, dragging her feet as she slipped into her Fenty sliders. Abba shook her head at her daughter, ripping open the curtains as she watched her granddaughter shuffle towards the bathroom.

"Your grans right Maya!" Sadie agreed, flopping down on the bed Abba had made. Abba smacked Sadie upside her head.

"Ouch!" Sadie whined, rubbing her head as she glared at Abba. Abba rolled her eyes at Sadie; moving back to the pillows which she furiously began to fluff. Sadie sat bolt upright as her eyes sparkled with a new idea.

"We should go out tonight" She suggested.

Maya pulled open the bathroom door, "I can't I have to study." She claimed before shutting the bathroom door again. The sound of the shower turning on could be heard. 

Sadie scoffed at her excuse. They had been back at college for two weeks and the teacher's so far had only been giving students notes to copy and write up so she knew that was a lie.

"You can take a break from studying for just one night." Abba reasoned. Sadie's eyes widened in shock. Usually, Abba was the strict one who always made sure Maya was studying every chance she had so it was surprising to hear her agree with Sadie for once.

"I even got Jordan's dad to look after him for the night, so please Maya." Sadie started to beg. 

Maya knew she couldn't come up with any more reasons not to stay bundled up in her room with a psychology book at hand; brooding over the fact that Omari hadn't texted her back. The shower faucet turned off as a small rustle was heard before Maya pried open the door once again looking defeated.

"Fine but only this once!" She warned. Sadie and Abba grinned at each other knowing this wouldn't be last time but only the very first.

/@/

Maya unconsciously shivered as she stepped out of the prepaid Uber. She pulled her jean jacket further around her body; covering the nude body con dress Sadie had forced her to slip into. The lights of the club, Passion glared at Mayalika from the darkness of the night; illuminating the faces of the people as they queued outside of the club.

Sadie slipped out of the car, pushing her lipstick back into her tote back as she stepped onto the uneven pavement. Her bright green heels shone compared to Maya's black heels. She grabbed Maya's wrist and began dragging her alongside the queue as they made their way towards the door where a burly looking bouncer stood. Ignoring the glares of the people waiting.

"Sadie the back of the queue is that way!" Maya informed her but she didn't respond. Sadie dropped her hand as she moved to get the attention of the bouncer. Tapping his shoulder, the man looked down at her through his blacked out glasses; his frown melting as he saw who it was.

"Sadie! How are you doing?" He greeted. 

Sadie smiled responding to his question as the two began chatting animatedly to each other. Maya shuffled awkwardly beside her, biting her lip as she felt the stares at the two of them grow intense.

"Go on in girls. " The bouncer insisted, opening the door for the two women to enter. Sadie smiled at the man; smirking at the outrage of a few people who were waiting in the line. Maya followed numbly behind her as they ventured further into the club.

"How do you know the bouncer?" Maya inquired as they passed the cloakroom. 

Sadie shrugged her shoulders, "He's a homeboy of my baby daddy." She admitted.

The club was dimly light with the shade of purple and red; illuminating the various body's that filled the club. The speakers blasted out music making it hard to hear the person next to you unless you shouted in the ear. 

The dance floor was glass that was changing colour with every beat of the bass that came from the speakers. near the DJ booth. It was crowded almost like a mosh-pit as body swayed not in sync to the music as the smell of perfumes and sweat filled the air - mixing with the heavy scent of alcohol that was being served at the C shaped bar.

That's where Sadie was pulling Mayalika as they weaved through the swarms of people that were hanging idly around the club. Sadie pulled them to an open area on the bar and ordered them two shots of Vodka.

"Coming right up!" The bartender winked at the two women before turning around to grab to shot glasses. Sliding their glasses, across the counter, he took the money Sadie slid towards him before going off to serve another customer.

"Cheer's!" They chorus, clinking the glasses as they threw they back. Maya scrunched her nose at the taste, setting the glass down on the counter. Sadie giggled, throwing back her hair.

"We're in the VIP area!" Sadie shouted over the music. Maya nodded, following her towards the concealed steps that led to an area that was less crowded. 

The VIP overlooked the whole club and there were servers wandering around collecting and serving drinks. Booths were scattered around. Maya found an empty one and quickly claimed it by plopping down on the leather seat. Coincidentally, it was the closest one to the bar. Sadie placed her bag on the table as her eyes scanned the area before settling on someone. Her eyes narrowed as she pursed her lips.

"Oh hell nah...." Sadie muttered. She stood up, snatching her tote bag from the table as Maya looked around curiously.

She found what Sadie was glaring at. A man; a handsome one at that. He looked to be biracial which was clearly a turn on for the women who were surrounding him. By the looks of it he was definitely a panty dropper. He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Sadie was glaring daggers through his head.

"He said he was too busy to look after Jordan tonight." Sadie explained as she paced in front of the table.

"Is that his dad?" Maya inquired. 

"Yeah, Maya I'll be right back." She rushed out as she made her way over to him, pulling out her earring's in the process. Maya watched in amusement as she pushed one of the girls out of her way and started yelling at the bewildered man.

She shook her head, taking a glass off a passing sever; watching the scene unfold before her. Maya sipped on the drink lightly, her eyes wandering out towards the balcony where people were dancing on the dance floor. 

"Wanna dance?" Someone asked.

She looked up to see a man standing in front of her table, a gentle smirk on his face as he held out his face as he held his hand out for her to take. He was a light skinned man with a gentle smile as his grey eyes observed her.

"I promise I'm not going to try anything on you." he reassured. Maya thought about it before nodding; grabbing his hand as he led her out of the VIP and towards the dance floor where Saweetie's Tap In was playing.

Not knowing the trouble it would cause...
