Richard Anderson.

"Oh! Richie, why? Why now? She was waiting for you so long and now that she has moved on... don't do this to her, to yourself. Don't complicate things further. She has chosen someone else and is happy with him. Let her go." He sighed.

I can't let her go? I just can't. Not before trying my best. Not until I tell her my feelings.
Sorry Bro, but this once instance, I won't listen to you. Because I have decided to listen to my heart. I took a heavy breath and let go of Viktor.

"Are you okay?" He was worried about me, l know, so I nodded positively with a small smile.

"You will find someone better, for that, you just need to cut your hair and get rid of these facial hairs. You will look so handsome, no girl will be able to resist you." Maybe he is right, then Lia won't be able to resist me too.

"You don't worry about anything. I will ask Sofia to handle everything related to Lia's wedding." He implied.

He left, giving a squeeze to my shoulder. I know he is attempting to comfort me.

We were in a car hunched up together going towards our destination. Occasion- Viktor's bachelor's party and destination - a stripper club, which he is not aware of. In fact no one is aware of it except me and Rashid, the mastermind behind this location. He enjoys getting on Viktor's nerves.

Rashid was driving the car, and I was sitting beside him. Viktor and Bruce were on back seats.

Mike, Stephen, Jake, and Liam...ya he is coming too. Bro invited him. They are coming directly to the club. While we are going at the club, girls are having a party at Sofia's place. Tomorrow is the wedding, we better windup early today and not get ourselves wasted.

"Can you at least tell me where are we going." Viktor asked, getting irritated.

"Have patience, sweetheart, you will find out soon." Rashid chuckled in response.

Rashid parked the car at the backside of the club. All of us got down.

"Why are we at the backside." Bro inquired.

"Easy entry darling" he said, opening the backdoor for us to enter. We were brought into a dark corridor with muffled music, leading to another glass door, behind which was all the action happening. I know this is not a good idea, bro won't like it. If he had his way, then he would have taken us for a trek and camping in some jungle.

Rashid opened the glass door and made us pass through it before entering. The scene inside was intoxicating. Nude girls were dancing on the poles flashing their assets to the crowd gathered around, the music was so loud that it thumped our hearts.

"What the fcuk?" Viktor yelled, turning around and going back to the door. We followed him.

"Hey Viktor, listen up man." Rashid tried to stop him, but bro was out at the car within seconds.

"What the hell Rashid, you brought us to stripper's club? For my bachelor's party? Right before my wedding? Richie?" He accused us. I held my head low while Rashid burst out laughing.

"Sorry bro...it .was his idea" I confessed.

"Relax.... baby.." Rashid managed to say between his laughs.

"Do you have any idea what Jia will think of me if..she got to know about this." Viktor fumed

"She won't be mad, believe me. They too are having fun, so relax." Rashid said with mischievous smile, speculating Viktor more

"What fun?" Viktor furrowed his brows

"They called a Gigolo for the par.." Rashid was cut off by bro

"WHAT? THEY CALLED WHAT?" Viktor yelled with horror.

"A Gigolo, you know, who..." Rashid was taking this too far.

"I know what a Gigolo is" Bro almost paled he went to the car ready to drive off to their party.

"That's no true bro, he is just bluffing…" I took hold of his hand, by that time one more car parked beside ours.

"Hey everyone" Mike got to us after parking his car

"What happened?" Stephen asked, looking at our worried faces.

"This bastard brought us to a stripper club"

"Seriously? let's go inside then and have fun." Mike hooted, moving towards the door.

"Ya let me inform Jovita about your fun." Stephen jested, causing Mike to stop on his track.

"Lets go home. I am in no mood for any party. Sorry, guys." Viktor groaned.

"We can go to some other club..." Rashid suggested.

"NO" Bro shouted, making all of us flinch. For few moments we just stood there in semi darkness

"Let's go to my place, we can have a party there. Does that sound ok to you bro." I told everyone.

"Hmm" Viktor sat in the car after accepting my offer.

I didn't know bachelor's party could be this eventful. I might never forget this day. Now that I remember Viktor's face, I can't stop laughing. He got two shocks of his life. First the stripper club and second about girls calling Gigolo. Rashid is something.
