Chapter 75

AMANDA

Whole way back, we both stayed silent. No one said a word. My heart was still aching but there was this strange kind of peace which I not know how to describe. When we reached back home, I asked him to give me some time to which he just nodded and left me in his room alone. I took out phone from my pocket and send a message to both Manik and Lia.

"Are you guys free tonight? If not, then please cut some time for me. Let's go to the club. It's been so many days; I want to enjoy my old life."

Pulling out the black short dress from the wardrobe, I wore it. Straightening my hair, I applied the red lipstick and slides into pair of heels. Checking myself out in the mirror, I smiled.

Here we go.

I went straight to the club that was more like our usual spot where we used to party all night. I was Lia and Manik near the drinks table and I rushed to them. Lia raised one of her brows and looked me from head to toe. "Damn girl, you look hot." She spoke.

"Sexy." Manik whistled.

I smiled wholeheartedly and pulled both of them into my arms. "Thank you for staying with me for all these years. If it wasn't for you guys than I would have never known how beautiful it is to have friends."

"Are you okay? Why are you getting sappy all of a sudden?" Lia asked.

"Let's get drunk, ha? Let's dance till fucking midnight but please don't let me drive after getting drunk." I laughed, ruffling Manik's hair.

"That sounds like some good plan." Lia said, ordering drinks.

We all cheered and finished four rounds of drinks. My head started feeling light and fuck, it felt good. Getting drunk and not caring about anything, that's fucking great.

I dragged both Lia and Manik to the dance floor and started swaying my hips to some sexy lyrics. Lia found a boy with whom she started dancing and Manik, well he gave both me and Lia disgusted look. He rolled his eyes and was about to get off the dance floor when I grabbed his arm and told him to dance with me.

"Please, don't do this to me. You and Lia let your inner whore out on the dance floor, for god's sake I don't care but don't drag me. You know right that I hate dancing." He whined and that's when Lia slapped on his head.

"We got our old Amanda back after so many days, at least for today, stop spoiling our mood." She hissed and returned to the boy with whom she was dancing.

I laughed.

"Dude, don't drag me into your mess." Manik rolled his eyes.

"What?"

"Your husband, he's here and staring at me. What if he really believes that we're having affair or something?" He whispered, maintaining a distance from me.

Through my periphery, I found Marco sitting in the VIP section and was looking straight at me. I passed him a low smile to which he nodded.

"Don't mind him. He might be here to make sure that I'm okay since I had surgery." I said, pulling him closer and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Surgery? What the fuck are you talking about?" He whispered.

"Nothing." I winked, wrapping my arms around his neck and dancing.

I don't know if it was alcohol or something else, but I wanted to make him jealous. I wanted him to come to me and pull me out of Manik's hold and instead dance with me like they do in the movies. I waited for few minutes but when nothing like that happened, I clicked my tongue in disappointment and brought back my attention to Manik who was definitely in no mood to dance.

"Go, ditch your best friend and enjoy with some hot ass girl." I sulked.

He gave me a poker face and went away. I looked around and saw everyone dancing, I too wanted to dance but with someone. I turned to Marco and gestured him to come to me and in no minute, he rushed to me. "What happened? Are you not well? Shall we go to the hospital?" He threw questions at me.

I put my index finger on his lips and smiled. "Dance with me."
