Adrianna and Noah arrive at the club that's decorated in sandy and turquoise colors. The sounds of maracas, claves, cuatro, and steel pan mixed together filled the air.
"Ooh, I'm liking this place. Reminds me of house parties back in New York," Adriana says; her eyes gleaming with excitement.
All the people are laughing, vibing, and dancing amid the dim lights.
"Come on," Noah says reaching out for her hand. "Let's get something to drink. Strawberry mojito?"
"You know me so well," Adriana tells him as they make their way over to the bar.
As Noah is about to order a female voice interrupts him. "Noah? Noah Newman?" she asks.
Noah and Adriana turn their attention to the female calling out his name. Voluminous brown hair with auburn tints, bronze skin and a killer smile. She was wearing the perfectly clingy red dress like it was custom made for her.
"I didn't expect to see you here," she says eying him up. "Are you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Noah shifts nervously. "Adriana, this is Vanessa," he points to her. "She's the new face of Jabot. I see her around town a lot."
"So you're the infamous Adriana Stone. Noah's told me so much about you."
"Good things I hope," Adriana intertwines her arm with Noah's and rest her head on his shoulder.
This chick looked like a South American beauty queen and stood taller than Adriana despite the fact that she was wearing her favorite heels. No way was she going to let this girl get any friendlier with Noah tonight.
"How about I get the first round?" Vanessa insists. "A sidecar for me, scotch on the rocks for Noah, and what do you want Adriana?"
"Strawberry mojito," she says with a fake smile on her face.
"Noah tells me that you're from New York. I'm from out of town as well. Moved all the way from SoCal to Nowhereville, USA to be the Face of Jabot Cosmetics," Vanessa says. "Why did you leave New York?"
"To be close to my man," she tightens her grip on Noah's arm.
Noah smiles. He can see the green eyed monster coming out. Jealousy actually looked kinda sexy on Adriana.
"But you have other aspiration right? And a job? You didn't just come here for Noah did you?" Vanessa asks.
"I'm sorry are you trying to judge me?" Adriana asks. "Because you seem to be doing a lot of prying for someone who just met me."
Vanessa shakes her head. "No, I'm new to this town. I was just asking a few questions, trying to get to know you better. Relax, Noah said that you're a pretty chill person. Take a drink and calm down."
"She's right, chill Adriana," Noah says as the bartender places their drinks on the counter. "Adriana is a singer. She's got a great voice. Back in New York, me her and Devon were making magic happen before the label fell through."
"Let me guess you go for that pop rock mainstream style?" Vanessa asks.
"No my style's more soul less pop. I like something with a little more depth. So does Noah. And unlike some I don't need to flaunt everything to garner attention," Adriana snaps.
"Whoa ladies, maybe you both need to relax. There's a lot of fire in this room right now," Noah steps in.
"And there's about to be a whole lot more. Come on Noah," Adriana pulls him out to the dance floor. "Dance with me."
Noah smiles and starts moving his hips to the beat. Adriana puts her back against his chest so that she's dancing in his arms.
Adriana smirks in Vanessa's direction. Vanessa just rolls her eyes and continues sipping her Sidecar.
