Bad bitch

Chapter 3 Bad Bitch

PHANTOM CLUBHOUSE

Alexis knew she had made a huge mistake agreeing to visit the club. Athena had given the excuse of being married and expecting to be home to make a good example for her daughter, leaving Alexis with crazy Yvonne. She knew it was all a lie, they had it planned from the very beginning. The two them know Alexis hates being pressured and can't take the heat for too long.

"Tell me the truth, who planned this?" Alexis yelled into Yvonne's distracted ears over the loud music, she has had her eyes glued to a man seated at the bar. He appears to be interested too.

Getting herself together, Yvonne giggled. "Mine. I pleaded with Athena to give me a hand."

Alexis cursed under her breath, "I should have known better. I can't remember the last time Athena went clubbing since she got married."

"However, she had the strippers deal planned. But I know it would be harder to get you to agree to that."

"I'm glad you know me better." She stated in sarcasm.

Yvonne ignore her sore attitude. “Just cheer up, Alexis. You can't spend the rest of your life working all the time. You need to give yourself freedom and also live a little?"

"Oh, that is so thoughtful of you, Brian Tracy. Can I get an autograph?" Alexis scoffed.

Yvonne laughed. “You are so bitter."

"It's not like I'm denying it."

"Anyways, make yourself comfortable I will be back."

Alexis watched Yvonne walk towards the man her eyes caught and in a minute, the two of them were laughing hard like they had known each other for ages. Most times, Alexis couldn't judge her friend who had resolved to live a carefree life. Yvonne has always been the life of the party since they have known each other.

When love found Yvonne during their first year in college, she chose to be a recluse and listen to every needs and wants of her then boyfriend, Andrew. Alexis had been worried about Yvonne's sudden detachment. Not only did their time together become less, but she no longer picked calls and was hardly seen. Yvonne was madly in love with Andrew and he took advantage of it by dominating her. He controlled all of her activities and warned her against talking to anyone aside him. Being an orphan, her parents had died in an accident when she was in high school, Yvonne had no one to look out for her which was why Alexis and the rest of her family stood their ground to save her.

The crazy Andrew had her locked up in his flat, turning her to his sex slave while forcing her to do the house chores. Alexis parents ensured he was jailed and took Yvonne fully under their wings. After she recovered, Yvonne promised to never loose herself for anyone. She doesn't care about finding love anymore, one night stands and flings was just enough to get her by her strenuous Civil and human right attorney duties. One of the best, if not the best in the city at that.

Alexis was and would always be proud of her friend. A smile played on her lips as she sipped her drink, her eyes still on Yvonne and her new friend. Even though her life was a bit reckless, she does look happy.

"Do you mind if I join you?" A baritone voice said next to her. Despite the blaring music from the speaker, Alexis could hear him clearly.

Looking back at who the stranger was, Alexis hissed to herself. The man looked irresponsible and she feels unapologetic for being quick to judge him. The snide smirk on his face looks so much like the one Ethan had used to sway her. There was no way she would have any form of conversation with him.

"I'm Bob, how about you?" He asked.

Alexis ignored him, turning her attention to the people dancing with all of their hearts. Seeing she might keep ignoring him, or just playing hard to get. Bob leaned into her, his mouth close to her ears.

"How about we find a more quiet place, just you and I."

Alexis stood stiff at the fHow dare you come close to me?"

Bob kissed his teeth, rubbing at his assaulted cheek. "You bitch!" He boomed, slapping her back and gripping her hand tightly when she attempted to retaliate.

Most people didn't notice what was happening since they were too busy. Knowing how sneaky her friend was and might end up running away from the club, Yvonne had been keeping a keen eye on where Alexis was seated. Her eyes went there again and she found herself floating angrily towards the VIP section. Her new found guy followed behind.

"You bastard! Who do you think you are to lay that filthy hands of yours on her?!" Yvonne screamed, hitting Alexis assailant with the bottle of wine on the table. Bob groaned hard as the effect of the pain settled into his head and he let go of Alexis immediately. Gripped by fear at the sight of blood trickling down his face, Alexis grabbed her bag in a rush.

Bob turned to Yvonne, making an attempt to grab her. "How dare—" He didn't get to reach her before the Yvonne's supposed date gripped him by the neck.

Seeing how bloody it was becoming, Yvonne grabbed Alexis by the hand and they made a run for it. Unfortunately their car was packed about two minutes away from the club. Nodding at each other as they exchanged a knowing look, they took off their heels and ran barefooted when someone ran out of the club and asked for the both of them to be caught.

Entering the car breathless, Yvonne turned on her car ignition and drove off into the night. Alexis was glad she didn't volunteer to drive. It would have been too much for her to drive in such state of mind and that would have resulted in the both of them getting caught. After they had driven in silence for about three minutes, Yvonne bursted into a fit of laughter and Alexis joined in.

"That was crazy! Are you hurt?" She asked Alexis.

Alexis rubbed at the spot Bob had hit. It didn't hurt much. "Trust me, I feel better knowing he would get some major stitches tonight."

"Oh, wow. Acting like a bad bitch now? Want to try it again?" Yvonne teased already knowing the answer.

"Save your breath. I'm never trying that with you ever again." Alexis said, causing them to laugh loudly as they drove through the busy road of Pittsburgh.
