Jazmine's POV
"Come with us Jazmine" My best friend Cindy begs. Her and my other best friend, Asia, want me to go with them to this club. I really don't feel like going. I just finished my second year of law school, at the moment I just want to relax. However, My friends want to celebrate hence why Cindy is begging. I'm not completely against going out but sometimes it's hard for me to let loose like my besties. 'Hmm' maybe I should go out, I deserve a night out to have some fun.
"Okay, okay fine I'll go with you guys."
"Yesss!" The two hug me.
"Yeah, y'all just want a ride in my car."
"Well yeah but we need you there too, this is a celebration" Cindy does a little dance and I laugh.
"I don't see why your boyfriend, Michael, can't come get us" Asia says slyly.
"One you know we call him Caesar, two I want to roll with my girls. Is that so hard to believe?" Cindy defends.
"I was only curious Cin, I know you love us."
Cindy rolls her eyes, "Girl come on we have to go get ready."
"Ugh I don't even know what to wear." I regret agreeing to going out to party.
"Don't fret Jazz you've got a fat ass any dress you wear will look good," I laugh at Cindy's bold words.
"I mean I guess."
"Make sure you look nice because Caesar has some friends he want you two to meet. I met them before and let me tell you they are fine" Cindy winks.
"Ooh can't wait!" Asia exclaims. I forget she's two years younger than me, she is still a little wild. She can be a little boy crazy sometimes. Myself however has had their fair share of relationships, I'm taking a break to focus on myself. My future career is my priority right now.
"Cindy that's great and all but I'm not looking for anyone at the moment."
"Just letting you know Jazz who knows he could be the one," I roll my eyes.
"I highly doubt any one of Michael's friends will be the one."
Cindy huffs, "Fine stay single then. Let's just go get ready." My friends leave my apartment. We all live in the same building Cindy and Asia share an apartment, they decided to be roomies. That way they could split the money they make for rent. My job pays enough most of the time and my dad will help with the rest. It's nice to have my girls close.
Anyways I hop in the shower and wash up. My hair is straight so I don't have to do much, I go to my closet to see outfit choices. I decide on an olive off the shoulder dress that comes to my mid thighs. I look in the mirror, the dress shows off not too much cleavage and accentuates all my curves. When I hit high school I had curves, a big butt, and thick. It was a way people could tell I was mixed besides my hair.
I unwrap my hair and part it to the side, put some curls with the curling wand. I slick my edges down too, my hair got really long almost down to my butt I don't really see the length because I usually wear it curly. After I am done in the bathroom I slip on my beige heel and grab my brown Michael Kors bag. As I check the time Nine thirty, My phone dings, it's the group chat.
Besties Grouper
Cindy-Ready guys?
Me-Yeah
Asia-We live in the same house…
Cindy- Hoe I know that.
Asia- You could've just come into my room and asked.
Cindy- Shut up
Me- Y'all crazy lol. Meet me by my car.
Asia- Okay, We will be right there
I turn my phone off and spritz myself with some perfume then walk outside to my car. After a few minutes Cindy and Asia come into my car looking beautiful.
"You two look amazing!"
"Thank you Jazz, you look bomb."
"Fine as wine."
"Thanks girls! So what club are we going to?"
"We are going to one of the hottest spots in Chicago. It's finna be lit!" Cindy beams, "I can tell you the directions if you want."
"Yes please." Cindy tells me the way there. We reach our destination 15 minutes later, downtown Chicago. It's always live over this way: the best clubs, city lights, and more. Most people would hate it here because the city does have a lot of crime. I on the other hand don't regret moving here one bit. I moved here 5 years ago for college, Cindy came because she always loved the streets and wanted to be a "gangsta". The both of us met Asia when we first came here, her mom kicked her out and she was struggling to find a place to stay. Cindy offered Asia to become her roommate and we have all been great friends since.
I park on the street next to the club, we all get out and make our way over to the club. It looks big from the outside, there's a balcony on top and some people are up there. As soon as we step inside all the different smells hit me. A mix of weed, sweat, and sex but mostly weed 'how is this even allowed?' Cindy and Asia fall into the crowd, easily dancing and laughing. I look around more, it is a nice club and a VIP section. But there's multiple couples kissing all sloppily and a bunch of people that are visibly high and drunk. Although the dance floor looks fun though, it distracts me from the stuff that is wrong.
"Let's go get some drinks!" Asia says over the music.
"Asia stay close to me" Asia was 21 but she could still act a little younger sometimes and she was like a little sister to me. I'm very protective of her.
"Chill Jazz I know how to hold my liquor stop worrying" She brushes me off. We each take a seat at the bar, the bartender comes to us right away. He's alright looking white guy, not really my type.
"And what would you fine ladies like tonight?"
"Three shots of henny please." Cindy gestures to the three of us.
"Coming right up." He leaves and comes back with three glasses, he places one in front of each of us. I don't particularly drink hard liquor, I'm more of a wine type of gal but we're out so fuck it.
"Cheers!" We raise our glasses and down them. I scrunch my nose up as the liquor comes down my throat.
"Another round!" Asia yells. 'I guess another won't hurt.' Chris the bartender pours us another shot.
Cindy raises her glass, "To Jazzy finishing another year of boring ass law school," I laugh and we clink our glasses again. I don't think I will ever get used to that burning sensation.
"Whew I don't know about y'all but I'm going to go dance. Bye!" Asia gets up and Cindy follows her after paying.
"Um I'll meet you guys in a few."
"You better," Cindy points at me.
I turn to Chris, "Can I get a glass of wine please?"
"Oh bad and bougie. Okay I see you, coming right up." I giggle, this white boy must have a little culture in him because I never heard a white dude speak like him. Chris comes back.
"Classic wine for a classy lady" He sets my glass down.
"You got any black in you Chris?"
"Nah all white baby but the sisters do call me white chocolate" I laugh.
"Okay 'white chocolate' thanks for the wine."
"My pleasure serving you uh-"
"Jazmine" Chris nods and goes to take someone else's order. He's a cool dude but I don't know about the whole nickname, I shake my head amused.
"Chris could be a little much sometimes." A light skin guy speaks from the seat beside me, he's cute.
"Yeah he's cool though. I'm guessing you come here a lot?"
"From time to time… I thought Chris had some black him too."
I laugh, "Oh so you were watching me?"
The man grins, "You're not hard to miss."
I smile slightly, "Smooth," he chuckles and raises his hand or me to shake.
"Cairo." I take his hand.
"Jazmine."
"That's a pretty name, Jazmine." The handshake lingers and I slip out of it.
"Thanks."
"Well I'll be going now, see you around."
"See you Cairo." He was nice and cute but I will probably never see him again. After finishing my wine I pay and go to find my friends. It's really dark and kind of crowded, and I almost bump into several people. Just as I think I see my friend, some dude comes by and knocks me into some tall guy making him spill most of his drink on me. I gasp and look down at my dress. It's nothing I can't fix in the bathroom. I look back to the guy I bumped into and I try not to drool. He has to be the best looking man I have seen in awhile. That is until he opens his mouth.
"You done staring?"
