Chapter 6

As we get closer to the club Zuri calls her boyfriend to come meet us at the parking lot. When we arrived we found him waiting for us. He opens the door for us to exit the car and pays the driver for the ride. He hugs Zuri like they haven't seen each other in ages.

" Hi, am Sam" he introduces himself to me

" Hey, am Zee, It's nice to meet you"

" Likewise"

" Now that we are done with the pleasantries ,can we go now?" Says Zuri impatiently.

We laugh as we both know she's not the most patient person. We take the elevator to the sixth floor where the club is. At the entrance they have security checking everyone's ID. Zuri shows them her ID and they let her pass and her boyfriend was allowed as he was already inside. When I showed them my ID they blocked the entrance like I was a zombie ready to infect people.

" You have to be 25 years and above to get in" one of the bouncer's say.

" What, why? " I ask trying to be polite.

This is just insane. am 24 years that's like pre 25

" We don't want kids here"

So now they are calling me a child. Am so hard to not talk back as I want to get in that club so bad but they are trying me.

" Zuri help ,they won't let me in" I call to her.

She is the only one who can help because if I open my stupid mouth ill be barned for life. She comes back dragging her boyfriend with her.

" What is the problem here?" She asks them.

" They won't let me in because am not 25 yet" I rolled my eyes as I said those words.

" Just let her in bro. She's with me or would you prefer I have a talk about your behavior to your boss? " Sam threatens them.

They finally allowed me to pass and join the others. As we walk in, the first thing I notice is the décor. It was really beautiful, open and paintings of known artists are on the walls. The bathrooms are near the entrance as well as exit which is not brilliant idea. We find our seats and a waiter comes immediately to take our order.

" Zee what do you want to drink?" Asks Zuri.

" Tequila sunrise for me"

She order our drinks and some shisha. While we wait I just look around to familiarize myself with the place. Some people are dancing, while others are clearly on a date. Do people still go on club dates? Can you even hear your date when he or she is talking or that is the whole point of this date . Back to the club, some people are celebrating their birthdays and they seem to be having the most fun. The music was great, well planned to keep people on their feet.

Our drinks are eventually brought to our table and we start drinking . After a few hours I start feeling tipsy. The DJ plays Bounce and Zuri and I give each other a look. We have different signature looks but this specifically meant lets dance. We stand at the same time and start dancing. It's one of our favorite songs.

We dance until we are both tired so we take our seats. Zuri and her boyfriend are busy making out which is just gross ,so I decide to watch other people dance while I drank instead of whatever this was. I hate being a third wheel.

I felt like peeing so I informed Zuri where I was going before she comes looking for me like a crazy person. While I was busy modeling to the bathroom I twisted my leg and the next thing I knew I was falling down. In the midst of falling ,I tried to reach for anything to prevent my fall and miraculously I found a shoulder which I held on for my dear life. I only hoped the owner would understand the sudden intrusion of his or her privacy.

I slowly stood up straight and found the most beautiful ocean blue eyes looking at me. I have never seen such blue eyes in my life. Neither of us said anything and I found myself staring at this perfect human specimen. I looked away feeling so embarrassed. Now he knows I was staring but he was staring too.

" Am sorry for falling on you" I apologized.

" It's okay ,you can fall for me anytime" with a smirk on his face he winks at me.

His voice was deep and rough. That voice made me cream my pants. I started feeling knots in my stomach when he looked at me which he was not shy about.

" Anyway thank you for that .It would have been so embarrassing if I fell"

" Am happy to help"

I don't wait for him to say anything else as I practically ran to the bathroom. I have never seen anyone with blue in person before, maybe in the movies but not in real life and its most probably because most Africans have black eyes.

I went to one of the empty stalls, closed it quickly and leaned on the door. My heart was racing . I tried relaxing by closing my eyes and all I could see was his handsome white face.

"Oh my God ,oh my God, oh my God!"

I decide to finally use the bathroom before Zuri comes looking for me, which she will if I take too long. She is always worried that I will get kidnaped. I don't know who would kidnap me, seriously I have nothing to give the kidnappers unless they want advice. Am good at those and giving opinions when nobody asked for it. I wash my hands ,dry them and then I look in the mirror to make sure everything is okay. Once I mustered enough courage I walked out and started the journey back to our table.

When I was about to pass his table I felt someone grab my hand. I stopped to see who would dare. I find him looking or is it staring at me. I take a second to really look at him. He is white ,has black hair, straight nose ,blue eyes ,clean shaved and delicious looking in a black shirt that is hugging his muscles . Mmh I definitely liked what I saw and I think he noticed.

Shit think of something else or someone who annoys you. He was openly staring at me and I had turn away blushing . What was happening? My cheeks were getting hotter and my hands sweaty.

" Hey, my name is Marcus. What is your name? " He asks.

Am busy looking at him that I don't answer.

" Miss, are you okay?" he says shaking my hand to get my attention.

" Sorry about that. Am Zawadi but most people call me Zee"

" Nice to meet you Zawadi" fuck him saying my name makes my heart beat faster.

" Do you want to join our table? I would like to know more about you" he asked politely.

" I would rather not. I don't know any of these people but you can come to our table over there" I say pointing at our table.

" Okay, I think I'll come join you later. I hope it won't be a bother to your friends"

" No they won't mind plus they are busy anyway"

Once we agreed that he is coming to our table ,I go to inform Zuri that he will be joining us. I found Zuri talking to her boyfriend so I take my seat and ask her to lean so that I can tell her something.

" I just met the cutest guy"

" What ! Where?"

" Angalia iyo table iko mbele yetu,amevaa Shati ya black" ( look at the table at the front, he's the one wearing a black shirt)

" He's white" she states the obvious.

" I know, am just excited to talk to him"

" Okay, you go have fun"

" am not going anywhere ,he will be joining us soon"

" Okay ,I don't see a problem with that"

With that she goes back to kissing her boyfriend. Am so excited that I can't seat still. After an hour I see him stand with his phone near his ear probably trying to talk to someone. He walks towards the washrooms am assuming, because it's too loud to hear anything inside.

I wait for almost an hour but he doesn't come back. Zuri decides to give me another hour before we leave but he doesn't show. Disappointed we leave the club and head home.
