Chapter six- Excuse me, beautiful ladies

Lisa’s POV

We bid farewell to Shawn and left. All the way home, Clara could not stop giggling and muttering words like; “our guardian angel is finally awake.”

“We have two hours before we leave and so we need to start getting ready immediately!.” Clara muttered as soon as we entered our apartment.

“Right now? Isn’t that a little bit too early?.” I asked her. I mean why do we need two hours to get ready? It’s not as if we are attending a red carpet event or getting married. Those are the only occasions I believe one could take time to get ready.

“Are you insane? How can you say something like that? This is the Cubana Club we are talking about. Only the elite have access to it. This is my chance to hook up with a rich man.” Clear stated with a determined look on her face.

“So that’s why you want to go to the club?.” I asked.

“Of course. If not what? You want me to say the drinks or what?.” Clara fired at me.

I raised my hands up in surrender. I don’t want to start something that I can’t finish.

“Let's stop wasting our time here and let’s go get ready. Like Shawn suggested, we need to look hot and our best too!.” Clara said and clapped her hands together in excitement. She left me in the sitting room and head to her room dancing as she sings.

“Crazy girl!.” I sighted and then picked my shopping bags and headed to my room. I dropped the bags on my bed and went to my closet to look for a dress to wear.

As much as I hate to admit what Clara said, she is actually right. The Cabana Club is usually meant for the elite and so we need to dress our best. If not for anything, for our own self worth and confidence.

I looked through my almost empty closet and couldn’t find anything appropriate to wear. So I decided to head to Clara’s room and borrow a dress from her. Between the two of us, Clara has always been the fashionista and the social one and so I am sure that I will find something to wear.

I entered Clara's room and found the room really messy. There were clothes and shoes everywhere from the floor to the bed. Clara was standing in the middle of the mess with her bathroom on.

“What’s with the mess?.” I asked her to look around the room.

“I had this perfect dress in mind that I wanted to wear but I could not find it and so I scattered the whole closet in search of it.” Clara explained.

“Did you find it now?” I asked her. It will actually be quite unfortunate if she didn’t find it after creating this mess.

“O I did!”. Clara said and pointed to the only dress still hanging in the closet. The dress is black in color and it’s handless. The top of the gown is being covered with crystals and both sides of the gown were just covered with a transparent lace material. Overall, the gown is gorgeous.

“An excellent choice of gown.” I compliment.

“Thank you. I am the fashionista between the two of us for no reason. Anyway, have you chosen your own gown yet?.” Clara asked me.

“Emm about that! I searched through my closet and I couldn’t find anything reasonable to wear.” I confessed while biting my lips.

Clara didn’t look surprised at my words. She went to the corner of her room and brought out a shopping bag and came and passed it to me. “I have expected that from you since you don’t have a social life. Anyway, I got this dress for you a little while back because I knew a time like this would be coming. Go ahead and check the dress out.” Clara urged me.

I opened the shopping bag and first brought out a pair of red heels and then a red purse and lastly a dress wrapped in a transparent package. Just like a child opening a Christmas present, i eagerly open the nylon package.

Inside the package is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. The dress is lava in color. It is strapless. The dress is completely backless nas it has a deep cut in the front of it.

“So what do you think of the dress?.” Clara asked.

I threw myself at her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you so much!.”

“You are welcome. We don’t have much time to waste anymore. Thirty minutes is already gone. Go and take your bath and come back here so that I can help you with your makeup.” Clara orders.

I nodded at her before I picked the shoes and left for my room.

In an hour, we were ready. I almost couldn’t recognize myself as I stared at the mirror. We ordered a cab before we headed for the club.

After a twenty five minute drive we arrived at the club. From the cars parked at the parking lots, to the clothes on the few people in front of the club, one will know that this isn’t the club for just anyone.

Unlike the regular clubs which usually had long queues in front, this one had none. It was just two bouncers standing at the door.

Clara and I head straight to the entrance of the club.

“Welcome mams. Can I see your cards please?.” One of the bouncers politely asked us. That’s a first. Usually bouncers are rude and act like high mighty.

Clara and I brought out our card and handed it to him. After checking the cards, he allowed us to enter.

The club isn’t as noisy as the usual clubs we go to. The bar was at the left hand side of the club, on the right hand side are the seats. It also has a gallery above it which I guess is the VIP. In the center of the club is the dance floor.

“Wow rich people’s club. So organized.” Clara commented and I couldn’t help but agree with her.

We made our way over to the bar.

“Good evening ladies, what would you like to drink?.” One of the bartenders attended to us.

“I would like a shot of Mila Tequila.” Clara ordered.

“I would like to have an energy drink that has no alcohol in it”. I ordered. I don’t want to get drunk tonight and face the consequences tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my first day at the job and I will like everything to go smoothly.

Our drinks were served to us and we decided to drink it before we head for the dance floor..

“Excuse me, beautiful ladies. Mind if I join you?”. A deep voice asks from behind us, making us both turn at the same time.
