"Babygirl, you look sexy!" Josie exclaimed.

"Are you saying it just to get my forgiveness?" I rose a brow and tilted my head to a side.

"No na! I bought that top and that jeans. They match well. You look great. You might even be the sexiest girl in the party," Josie gave me a thumbs up.

"Fashion designers in the house!" I yelled. "Show face oo!"

"What happened?" Chi-girl quizzed, walking into my room and dropping herself on the bed.

"Does this make sense?" I gestured to the jeans and top I was wearing.

Chi-girl whistled and waggled her brows. "Anita, go and thank you mother for blessing you too much".

I shrugged.

"Azin!" Josie added. "See her big butt and boobs. No guy will see her and just pass in the party. They will definitely look".

"This jeans. Where did you get it?" Chi-girl asked and twisted her braid in her finger. "It looks nice. In fact, it makes you look sexy".

I smiled at Josie who had a cocky smirk on her face.

"As for the top...eww! You can do better!" she concluded and grimaced.

I glanced at Josie and narrowed my eyes at her.

"No oo! It's lovely. Chi-girl, what are you saying?"

"Abegi, shift jhare! What do you know?" Chi-girl hissed and rose from the bed. "Anita has tops that are better than that one".

"Do you know Josie bought this clothes?" I asked her.

"She did?"

"Yes! This is for destroying my gown!" I replied.

Titi hopped into the room. She was ready for the party. Her makeup was done and her green mini gown looked lovely on her. She posed, stretching her long legs to show off her gold heels. "How do I look?"

I smirked. "Like Miss Nigeria!"

"No whine me!" she scoffed though she was blushing.

"Josie, I love that jeans skirt. You look good!" Titi complimented. "Are you ready?"

"Yep! I will match this skirt with one of my white croptops. Then, I will wear my canvas. I just want to look casual and simple," Josie replied and shrugged.

"Why?"

"Well...." she smiled and lowered her head. "Daniel said he would be wearing white. I wanted us to have matching outfits".

"Awwn! You and your sweet boyfriend. Your honey!" I teased and poked her belly.

"Stop!" she chuckled and thwacked my arm.

"Eh! For me sha...I will wear red gown. Red is Chijioke's favorite color. Today is his birthday so... I just want to make him happy," Chi-girl said and brushed her red gown. It had a low bodice that revealed her cleavage and an asymmetrical shape that stopped below her knee. She wore a black belt at her waist to match her black wedge heel.

"Everyone is looking nice but see how I look?" I threw my arms in the air and huffed. "You guys should help me out or else I am not going".

"Meaning?" Chi-girl marched towards me. "What do you mean by that? Come on! You are going".

"Naked abi? Do I look like someone that is ready to go? I give up!" I sighed, moved to my bed and sat on it.

"You have changed oo! I thought you liked parties?" Titi asked.

"Poor girl!" Chi-girl shook her head. "She doesn't know Chijioke kept special gifts for her. She will just miss it. Guys, let's leave Anita alone in the house".

"Wait! Gift? What kind of gift?" I asked.

"Do I know? He just said he will treat my friends like queens. So if you come, you will enjoy," she replied.

"Fine! I'm coming! Let me enjoy myself. Since this month, I have just been living my life like a robot. No fun to spice my day," I said and let out a frustrated groan.

"Start dating!" Josie suggested.

"Nah! I need something different. Something that will make me feel alive. I want to go to places and also do some naughty things. Maybe trouble someone. I'm already bored with you guys. You all know my pranks by now"

"Eyah! Poor girl," Chi-girl laughed and they all joined her.

I rummaged through my wardrobe. I found a pink off-shoulder and smiled. I quickly wore it and tucked it into my light blue jeans. I wore my black ankle boots and announced, "The pink top might make me look girlish, but I'm ready to go".

"The pink top is great. Time for selfies!" Josie squealed. We gathered around her and took some selfies. I applied a light makeup and took some full photos of myself. I allowed my box braids to fall over my shoulders as we left the house.

Time to party! I'm gonna dance cos I haven't danced for awhile. Been to busy!

We arrived at the hotel Chi-girl's boyfriend had paid to host the party. We meet the birthday celebrant, Chijioke at the gate. He was tall with a slight, slender building of a man. He had a high afro and a little beard below his chin. He had a fair skin that glowed under the dim lights at the gate. The time was 6:30pm and the sun was setting. When we got into the hall, I could guess this party would be in the night.

The hiphop music boomed in the room and the guests began to dance. My friends were swallowed by the little crowd and I was left alone.

I am not really the awkward kind of girl. I'm confident and comfortable in my own skin.

With my head held up high, I strutted to the bar and ordered a champagne. I don't support alcoholic drinks. As a medical students, I know its harmful effects on human body. I know everyone knows it's harmful but what I don't understand is why they still drink it. I made sure my flatmates don't drink. I explained to them its harmful effect and they decided to abstain from it.

As I sipped my drink, I swayed my hip to the music.

I just need them to play my favorite song and I will become a party animal.

Soon, the crowd became much and the party kicked off. I spotted Chi-girl and Chijioke making their way towards me. I smiled and moved closer to them.

"How's the party?" Chijioke yelled over the sound of the loud music.

"It's great!"

"But you aren't dancing?"

I shrugged, "No one to dance with".

He glanced at Chi-girl and she turned to me.

"Then, let's dance now!" Chi-girl screamed and pulled me to the center of the hall where the guests were dancing. The hall was flashing with dim colorful lights. Big speakers rounded the place, blasting the music at every corner. The DJ seemed to be enjoying himself by the way he switched songs every minutes.

I put a cheerful smile on my face and danced with Chijioke and Chi-girl.

Why isn't the DJ playing my favorite song? I don't really like the songs he is playing.

The DJ kept switching to songs that mostly had twerking as its dance move. It was clear a lot of guests were enjoying it but I don't like to twerk in public.

Okay! That's a lie. I twerk when I'm enjoying the song but if I'm not. I don't. Why would I just want to? My butts big! If I do, I will attract unwanted attention from guys I'm not interested in.

"Happy birthday, Chijioke!" I yelled and gave him a side hug. "Your Juliet kept insisting I come".

I call Chi-girl 'Juliet' as in Romeo and Juliet. Chijioke is the Romeo. I ship their relationship. They have been dating for two years. I won't be surprised if they get married.

"It's good you came. We've got the best barbecued chicken here. I ordered them especially for you. Enjoy your life!" he exclaimed and hopped around me.

A smile crept on my face and I punched his arm. "Good boy! If you continue with this good work, I will ensure Chi-girl says yes to your marriage proposal".

He lifted a brow up.

"Don't pretend. I know you might pop the question!"

He smirked and whispered, "Will you help me with that? I don't want to do it yet but I will".

"Treat me well. Feel free to bribe me. I will help out," I winked and burst into laughter.

"You should be tagged as a matchmaker!" he chuckled and joined a group of boys. He chatted with them and I was left alone. I lifted a brow and looked around me.

Wasn't Chi-girl dancing with me just now? Where did she disappear to?

I felt a light tap on my shoulder and whipped my head to its direction.

"I told the DJ to play our favorite song. Do you still remember the dance steps?" Josie yelled over the loud music and swirled her waist.

"I do! I'm ready to dance," I replied.

"Daniel!" Josie called her boyfriend and signalled that he came to us. He nodded and jogged to her side. Josie took my drink from my hand and gave it to him. "Please, hold this. Anita and I want to dance and get the attention of everyone here. Tell Chijioke to spray us money".

I laughed. "Stop joking!" I said to her.

She chuckled, "I'm serious. If our dance is impressive, spray us money oo!"

"We will see, sweetheart! Dance well first!" Daniel replied and winked at her.

Josie signalled the DJ and the song began to play. I sucked in a deep breathe and moved to the front of the hall with Josie. The beat blasted in the room and we began to dance to the music. As I danced, I imagined myself as a superstar and kept making sexy, cute faces to draw the attention of the audience. I twerked, swirled my waist, did a split and then, some hiphop dance moves. When the song ended, different young men in the party tossed naira notes at us as they applauded.

"Should they dance again?" The M.C popped out of nowhere and strode to our side.

The crowd whistled and screamed yes. Josie and I selected a new song and I danced like a party animal.

Dancing! My favorite hobby! I also like to look cool and right now, I feel like a cool rock star.

When the song ended, Josie gripped my forearm and pulled me to a corner. I watched as some girls and boys took up the stage and began to dance. Their moves were nice too.

Still panting, Josie voiced, "Did you see him?"

My forehead creased. "See who?"

"The guy...you know...the one..." she paused to catch her breathe, inhaled and then exhaled. "The guy na!"

"Who?" I snorted, enraged as curiosity ate at me. "Who? Which guy?"

"The guy na!"

"You need slap from above," I hissed. "If I just tell you the guy na...how would you feel?"

"The guy you fell on at home na. The Mr Handsome! He was here. He sprayed money at you. He even enjoyed your dance and was smiling. I thought you saw him that's why you were putting effort in your dance moves".

"I didn't! Is he really here?" I stood on my tiptoe and scanned the crowd. My brows snapped together. "Josie, I hope you are not playing a prank on me!"

"I swear! I saw him with my own eyes!"

"Even if you swear, I still don't believe you. You have a reputation of lying," I said to her in a sour tone.

She sighed and narrowed her eyes at the crowd. "He is here! Don't worry. You'll see him soon".

I bit my bottom lip as I tried to suppress my smile.

I can't believe I will be lucky to see that Handsome dude again. He should better ask for my number.

"Hey," Josie snapped her fingers at my face.

"What?" I drawled.

"Before you begin to blush and daydream, ensure you take his number. Don't forget. He is rich. Trust me!" she waggled her brows and sent a big grin at me.

"I don't care about his wealth. I just want him to like me and ask me out," I said and fixed my gaze on the crowd. "I hope you aren't lying to me, Josie".

"I'm not. I promise!"

It looks like this party is gonna be interesting. Mr Handsome show ya face.
