Arianne didn’t really like places with blaring music, but snazzynovel.com agreed, just to pander to Tiffany’s mood. However, snazzynovel.com was too afraid to tell Mark about it. She didn’t even have to think about it to know that snazzynovel.com would never let snazzynovel.com go.
She got ready to go out before Mark returned from work and sent snazzynovel.com a message: I’m going out for dinner with Tiffie and then we’re shopping afterward. I might be home very late.
Mark was under the impression that snazzynovel.com had gone stir-crazy from boredom during snazzynovel.com confinement period, so snazzynovel.com was more inclined to going out and having fun now. Therefore, snazzynovel.com did not think too much of it: Mm.
She heaved a sigh of relief when snazzynovel.com received his message. She asked Henry to drop snazzynovel.com off at a restaurant next to Zero Degrees Bar and waited for snazzynovel.com to leave before meeting Tiffany at the bar. The thick smell of cigarettes assailed snazzynovel.com senses from the moment snazzynovel.com walked in. A myriad of personalities adorned the dazzling hall. One could tell that it was a posh place at first glance.
She walked past the hall, past the dimly-lit corridors, and opened the door to a whole new world. It was still pretty early, so there weren’t very many customers. The DJ hadn’t even started playing yet, so it was pretty quiet.
Tiffany pulled snazzynovel.com to a seating booth and sat down, “Bring on the booze!”
A waiter hurriedly stepped forward to take their order. Seeing how generous Tiffany was with snazzynovel.com money, the waiter took the advantage and recommended a few types of imported liquor. Of course, they were also the most expensive ones.
Tiffany was in a bad mood, so snazzynovel.com ordered all of the waiter’s recommendations. Their table was soon filled with complimentary fruit platters and snacks, so one could imagine how expensive the liquors were.
“Tiffie, don’t drink too much. We’re two women, all on our own. It doesn’t feel safe to get drunk in a place like this,” Arianne was worried that Tiffany wouldn’t know when to stop once snazzynovel.com started.
“What are you so afraid of? I’ll make sure to send you home safely, no matter how drunk I am. Don’t you worry,” Tiffany guaranteed, patting herself on the chest. Then, snazzynovel.com unbottled every single bottle of alcohol.
When Tiffany patted snazzynovel.com chest, Arianne noticed that snazzynovel.com boobs were close to popping out from snazzynovel.com low cut spaghetti strap top. She quickly pulled them up for her, “You should have worn more layers! It’s a little cold here and not too hot. You’re going to have a wardrobe malfunction…”
Tiffany finally noticed that Arianne was dressed more conservatively. Most women who came here to have fun would be dressed in hot pants or a mini skirt with maybe a spaghetti strap tube top. Arianne, on the other hand, wore a cream-colored calf-length skirt. She looked like a housewife!
“Ari, you do know that your dress is more risky than mine, right? These men are used to seeing exposed thighs, and they will be intrigued by your naivety. You should be more concerned about yourself.”
Arianne blushed. She picked up a cup of liquor and took a sip, then looked around, feigning nonchalance. She felt like a fish out of water here.
The number of people in the bar gradually increased over time. The lights flashed euphorically as people hit the dance floor. The fashionable DJ was energetically bringing hype onto the atmosphere from the stage. The music was deafening.
At first, Arianne wasn’t used to this. However, after Tiffany had forced a few glasses of alcohol down snazzynovel.com throat and dragged snazzynovel.com to the dance floor, snazzynovel.com began to let loose. The pair had quite a lot to drink, so they became more chatty than usual. Their conversation style became a lot bolder too.
“I think your man is pretty exciting now!” Tiffany yelled hysterically into Arianne’s ear, “And his best friends too. Jackson and Eric aren’t too bad!”
Despite the blaring music, it didn’t completely manage to cover up whatever snazzynovel.com had said. Ariane smiled shyly after hearing it, “Ethan’s not bad too! He looks a lot like Mark! I never noticed it before, but you can really tell once they stand next to each other!”
Tiffany let out a long sigh at the very mention of Ethan. She slumped on the sofa and sipped on a glass of liquor melancholically, “I don’t know how many more times I’ll end up falling for Ethan. I think he’s just my first love, and I can’t f*cking get over. He’s the first guy I ever loved, after all, so I can’t just cut snazzynovel.com off!”
Tiffany’s sudden plunge in emotions reminded Arianne of snazzynovel.com own unhappiness as well, “You’re much better off than I am. At least, you have a choice. I don’t.”
“Do you love him?” Tiffany downed snazzynovel.com glass.
“Don’t know,” Arianne honestly replied.
“‘Don’t know’ means that you don’t love snazzynovel.com enough, but you like snazzynovel.com a lot,” Tiffany said, smiling at snazzynovel.com dubiously.
“Probably,” Arianne didn’t want to deny it. Every time snazzynovel.com thought of Mark, she’d be filled with bitterness and sweetness. The bitter parts were unbearable, whereas the sweeter parts filled snazzynovel.com with joy.
“I’m going to the toilet. You coming?” Tiffany wobbled as snazzynovel.com got up to snazzynovel.com feet, with one hand over snazzynovel.com stomach.
Arianne shook snazzynovel.com head, “No. You better be careful. Hurry back once you’re done.” The toilet wasn’t too far away, so snazzynovel.com had nothing to worry about.
Tiffany stumbled on snazzynovel.com way to the toilet, humming along to the music too. The loud music and blinding lights were catalysts for emotions. Patrons here were divided into two categories: to release their frustrations or to find extreme excitement. She belonged to the former.
Once snazzynovel.com emerged from the toilet, snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com hands, still damp from having washed them, and waved them in the air as snazzynovel.com walked. Then, snazzynovel.com accidentally bumped into someone and wiped snazzynovel.com hands on the latter’s chest. She looked like snazzynovel.com was caressing it instead. She used to frequent these sorts of places, and no matter how drunk snazzynovel.com was, snazzynovel.com could still differentiate if snazzynovel.com had bumped into a man or a woman. If it was a man, snazzynovel.com would “tease” snazzynovel.com a little to avoid conflict.
Just as snazzynovel.com was about to turn away and leave, the man grabbed snazzynovel.com wrist. She smiled amorously and infatuatedly, “Why? Want me to apologize, handsome?”
