Play 'Wild Love' by Elle King

The living room was brimming with lively laughter and animated conversations, creating an atmosphere that hummed with the vibrancy of my friends' presence. As I gracefully descended the elegant staircase, a palpable warmth seemed to infuse the air, further enriched by the genuine camaraderie in the room. My distinctive grunge attire, characterized by a sleek leather micro-skirt and jacket, exuded a unique confidence and a sense of individuality that I cherished.

I walked by the bar area and entered the living hall, where all of my friends were seated. My expression turned to a confused smile, as I watched the whole crowd in the living room. Everyone's gaze stopped on me before they jumped into an excitement of wishing me.

"Happy Birthday, Emily" everyone shouted.

For the first time, I felt like a fucking celebrity. And my fucking best friend didn't leave a single one in the fucking college to invite here.

My eyes scanned the whole room for Jessica before they fixed on her. She was standing by the bar counter and talking with one of the bartenders.

What the Hell!! She fucking hired a couple of bartenders just for this fucking day of my life and didn't even let me know. And now she is talking...no flirting with them.

I rushed towards Jessica and hit my hand on her shoulder. "Hey Jess!!! Have you gone mad? How can you do this to me?" I fussed at her.

Her expression soon changed into a serious one, "What happened Emm? What have I done?"

"You fucking dumbass, you invited the whole college for my fucking birthday, without letting me know!! And also.... hired the whole bar for this? How can you do so??" I cried at her annoyingly as I clung to her.

"Calm down Emm...It's just for today, today is a very special day, and I think we need to celebrate this, Emm" She patted my shoulder before giving me a warm smile.

The Bartender was still standing there awkwardly like an idiot, as he was confused about the melodrama we were having. "Ohh Emm, I forgot to introduce you, he is Diego, one of my friends from my workplace." She added. "And Diego, she is Emily, my best friend, my world, and the birthday girl" she explained.

Jessica was literally blushing at him, before he wished me, "Happy Birthday, Emily. Nice to meet you. I wonder how Jessica got a beautiful, nice, and etiquette girl like you as her best friend, I mean you are very opposite to each other." He was actually trying to make her jealous, and he was successful with his plan, and Jessica threw him a nasty look which he received with a smirk. We burst into laughter before she drew closer to him and requested him to make a unique drink for me.

I departed the bar counter, holding a glass of cocktail, named 'Manhattan' and walked towards the living room, where the actual party was happening. Alex along with his friends were seated on the cosy sofa while reading some musical notes. As I entered the hall, his lustful gaze fixed on mine, his tempting eyes scanning me from top to bottom before he offered me a pleasant smirk and leaned me closer to him "Come here, darling". I took the space beside him and leaned closer to him, as he slowly put the paper note in his pocket and wrapped his arm around my waist.
