When I got home I sent a quick text to Sierra asking her to come over. I set my things down on the counter and run to my room to change outfits. My phone starts ringing and I skip down the stairs to answer it.
“Hello”
“Ms. Winters, I’m glad I could get a hold of you” a baritone voice responds.
“I’m sorry but could you please tell me who this is”
“It’s Alejandro, I was calling to see if you had time to set up a meeting with me. I have some things I need to explain”
“I’m currently busy but I should be free around lunch time tomorrow” I respond reluctantly not understanding his urgency.
“Perfect we’ll meet at Ronaldo’s Cafe around 1:30” he responds seeming overly excited.
“I guess I’ll see you there then”
“Don’t be late Ms. Winters” he says sternly before the line goes dead. I stare at the phone speechless for a couple minutes. Something about him entirely chilled me to the core. I’m snapped out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. Jogging to the door I swing it open to be met with Sierra. Smiling sheepishly, I step to the side to let her in and she walks in without giving me a second glance.
“Sierra-” I begin to speak but am instantly cut off.
“Listen, don’t bother explaining yourself, I honestly don’t care” Sierra says indifferently and I tilt my head in confusion.
“Ok um did you want to look through my closet for a dress to borrow” I ask awkwardly. She nods and I lead her up the stairs into my room.
“I want something that screams hoe but classy” she exclaims and I giggle while nodding completely forgetting about the awkwardness earlier.
“I have a dress that has a slit down the middle and some on the waist. I think it’ll look good on you” I say pulling out the dress and ushering her to try it on. She squeals and grabs the dress while running to the bathroom to put it on. I sit down on my bed and wait for her to come out. She comes out moments later and she looked beautiful. The dress came down slightly under her butt and the slits really made her look hot.
” I don’t know if I’ll need to bring a bat just in case some guy pushes his luck” I joke and she lets out a genuine laugh.
“The dress is hot as hell, can I keep it afterward” she asks.
“It’s yours chica” I respond and she flings her arms around me while simultaneously thanking me.
“Now it’s your turn. We need something so painfully sexy that will tease that boss of yours into insanity” she mutters to herself deviously and I chuckle nervously. She rushes into the closet and I shake my head while sitting down. All of a sudden my phone rings and I pick it up hoping it was who I thought it was.

“Mia cara I miss you” a husky voice says from the other line.
“I was with you an hour ago”
“Are you saying you don’t miss me” he asks sounding slightly offended.
“No I miss you too mi amour” I admit lovingly.
“I’ve been thinking about your plump lips since you left especially getting to bite and tug at them while you moan into my mouth” he says huskily sending shivers through my body. My mind begins to think inappropriately and I shake my head to rid my thoughts. Before I could respond the phone is snatched out of my hand.
“Hey mister, quit trying to seduce my best friend through the phone. She’s trying to pick an outfit for tonight and you’re nothing but a distraction” Sierra shouts into the phone ending the call and tossing my phone onto the bed. My face flushes as she laughs while throwing an outfit into my face.
“Here try this on” she says after sobering up from her laughing fest. I grab the outfit and stomp to the bathroom, grumbling about how rude she was.
It was now almost 10:00pm meaning Ivan was coming to get us very shortly. Sierra and I spent the day catching up but began to get ready at around 7:30pm.
Sierra was wearing her dress along with some blood red heels and the slightest amount of jewelry. For make up, she had on a subtle smokey eye and a bold red lip while her hair was pin straight. My outfit consisted of a maroon tank top that was flowy paired with some leather pants. For shoes, I wore some black strapped heels and a bit of gold jewelry. My hair was messily curled and thrown up into a night ponytail with some strands framing my face. I kept my make up very minimal only adding eyeliner, mascara and sheer lipgloss.
Ivan texted me that he arrived and we headed out the door. As soon as we walked out a cool breeze hit us making us shiver. We scurry to get into the car and I text Connor to meet us there.
“Good evening ladies” Ivan greets us smoothly.
“Hi” we reply simultaneously.
Before we know it, we are on our way to the nightclub. The entire ride was spent in a comfortable silence and kept my head lent against the window. We arrive fifteen minutes later and get out of the car. I lead us to the front of the line and smile brightly at the bouncer.
“Hey Jeff, long time no see” I greet him and his face automatically brightens up.
“Sunshine, how are you” he asks with a grin.
“I’ve been doing great thank you. How’s the club life been treating you” I ask interested.
“Great when I’m don’t have to deal with half drunk assholes” he answers and I giggle.
“This is my boyfriend Ivan and you remember Sierra” I inform him grabbing Ivan’s hand. Sierra smiles brightly at him and he returns the gesture.
“It’s nice seeing you again Sierra and Ivan good to meet you” he responds. Ivan gives him a curt nod.
“Now I don’t want to keep y’all waiting out here when the fun is in there. Have a great night but don’t drink too much like last time” he adds giving Sierra and I a stern look at the end. We smile sheepishly and nod before walking into the club. We all walk to the bar and take a seat while Sierra orders herself a drink.
“Mia cara, I don’t know how I feel about knowing the bouncer has some sort of relations with you and has seen you enough to know how crazy you get drunk” Ivan whispers into my ear erupting shivers through my spine.
“He’s just a friend and he had to call a cab for Sierra and I one night when we had too much to drink. It’s not big deal babe” I assure turning to face him. Even though it was dark, I could still make out his expression. I lean forward and capture his lips in a kiss pulling back to look at him.
“My heart belongs to you and only you” I add trying to erase the doubt he had. He nods and take my hand. Ivan waves the bartender over to get us drinks.
“Get me a glass of scotch and my girlfriend an Alabama slammer” he orders for me and I smile at him. The bartender nods and goes off to make our drinks.
“What the hell is an Alabama slammer” I ask curiously and he smirks but doesn’t respond. The bartender gives Ivan his drink and sets an orange colored liquid in front of me. I thanks him and put the glass to my lips to take a sip. The cool liquid runs down my throat and my tastebuds are met with a mango tequila combination.
