How I found myself at Starlight was still baffling but then I really missed Starlight, the noise, music, fun and happiness that was always on everyone's face even though they had their problems was something I missed, even the hate from Kike's colleagues and their fights. Unlike Crimson estate that was always as silent as a graveyard, staying in an estate was boring to me.

"Do you want me to pour you some drinks?" Gabriel who was opposite me asked and I shook my head in response.

"No, I don't drink alcohol."

"That's shocking, considering you served drinks here," he replied and I gave a faint smile.

"And you Tise, you've only been staring at the drink in front of you," Clinton who was seated opposite Tise said.

"I'm just not in the mood."

"You need to be," Clinton and Gabriel said in unison while I chuckled.

"Okay, you'll take responsibility if I should get drunk oo," Tise who was seated beside me warned and they nodded.

I watched him gulp down the drink while Clinton and Gabriel cheered him on.

"Let's dance," Gabriel offered while I shook my head.

"I'm not a good dancer," I lied smoothly, it was only because I didn't like the dance routine at the club.

He nodded before turning to Tise who shut him up before he could even ask.

"I'm not doing that."

"Whatever," Gabriel said before turning to Clinton who answered him readily, while they both got up to approach the dance floor, Tise stopped them.

"Clinton be careful, you know I'm watching you," he warned and Clinton smiled.

"Of course," then they disappeared to the dance floor while Tise and I sat in silence, he kept on gulping his drinks while I kept on feeding my eyes with the happenings around us.

When the silence became too awkward, I decided to go check up on Mama D.

"I need to see Mama D," I said as I made to stand up.

"Okay."

Then I walked away while straightening my short glittering gown, I'd decided to wear the short gown so far I couldn't wear my normal clothes to the club, Kike's money didn't waste today even though I was uncomfortable in it.

"Hey, pretty girl," a tall and tan skinned guy approached me few steps to Mama D's office.

"Hi," I replied nonchalantly.

"Do you mind joining me and my friends over there?" he pointed at the other end which I didn't bother looking at.

"Yes, I'm in a hurry right now."

"What of a dance?"

I raised my brows, "I said I'm in a hurry," I made emphasis on the latter word, then I made to walk away but he grabbed my hand.

"What of your number?"

I glowered at his hand on mine, he seemed to notice so he let go of my hand, just as I made to decline, I heard Mama D's voice.

"K.Y?" She called with surprise laced in her tone.

I walked up to her with a huge smile on my face, "Mama D," I greeted.

"Oh, K.Y, I didn't know you were around, you look so beautiful," she accessed my body and I returned it with a smile, then we both entered her office.

After exchanging pleasantries and a little chit chat, I left her office to go back to the club. Gabriel and Clinton were still on the dance floor while Tise was at the same place I left him still drinking but this time he looked tipsy.

"Hey," I greeted as I returned to my chair.

"Hey," he drawled before dropping the bottle on the table. My stomach rumbled so I decided to eat something, waving at a server who didn't look familiar at all, seems she was the one that replaced me, I told her to get me fish pepper soup and she nodded before leaving.

"You look like an angel, just like my character," I heard Tise say and I squeezed my face. It was as clear as crystal that he was drunk.

The he turned to me, "Why am I seeing her in you?"

"You're drunk, that's why," I responded but he grabbed my hand.

"No, but did my character come to life?" He shook his head and I pursed my lips. Drunk Tise wasn't good at all, infact he was worst 'cause he kept on spluttering gibberish related to his character and kiss.

"I need to practice how to kiss, I've been finding it hard to write a kissing scene."

"You can watch movies or read about it," I responded before releasing my hand from his grip, just as I made to look away, he leaned closer to me and before I could comprehend what was going on, his lips rested on mine, I fluttered my lashes and I pushed him away that instant, with force, he fell to the floor.

I gasped at the impact of my push but what made me shocked and dismayed was the startled look on Zayd's face.

Zayd.

What was he doing here? Why was he here? He never visited Starlight, he preferred visiting me outside Starlight, so, why was he here and why did he have to appear when I was in a compromising situation?

"Za...Zayd," I called and he glared at me before turning to leave, quickly, I hurried after him.

"Zayd," I called again but he kept on walking away.

"Zayd," I screamed this time and he halted his walk, we were already at the backyard of Starlight and we're actually the only ones there.

"Zayd, it's not what you think it is," I started and he scoffed before turning to me.

"Then what is it? I saw you kissing a guy in the club with my own eyes, what is it then?" he replied harshly.

"I wasn't kissing him," I insisted and he scoffed a laugh.

"You were only shooting a film right? What are you doing in the club? You got a better job right? Then what are you doing here? Can't you stay away from this place at all?" He shook his head before continuing,"What am I even saying? It's already a part of you, it's in your blood, you're no different from your sister, jumping from one guy to another, you are both prostitutes!" He spat and on impulse, I smacked his face.

He opened his mouth agape ad his hands found its way to his cheeks, "Did you just slap me?"

"Yes and I'll do it again, I already told you it was all a misunderstanding, I wasn't kissing him, the guy is drunk, it was only a drunken mistake, there's nothing between us, he's my boss..."

"Boss indeed!" He uttered in a mocking tone.

"You have no right to call me a prostitute when you're not different too, what are you doing here too? You've always proved to be holy, someone that hates the club, bar, the whole Starlight that you even find it hard to visit me but why are you here now? I guess you're just sanctimonious," I fumed and he jeered.

"Stop trying to change the topic."

"I'm not changing anything!" I screamed.

"I have nothing to say to you," and with that he walked away without sparing me any glance even with my incessant calls.

I hissed in anger before pulling off the heels that was now killing me, holding it with my left hand I walked back into Starlight not minding the looks others were giving me.

On getting back to my seat, I realized Clinton and Gabriel were back but Gabriel was just as drunk as Tise who was now sleeping while Clinton still looked sober.

"I have to go," I announced before picking my purse from the table.

"You can go alone, it's almost midnight," Clinton reasoned and I sighed.

"But I need to get out of this place," I replied almost in a belligerent tone.

"We are already leaving too, let me just call one of the bouncers to help me with Tise and Gabriel, they're both drunk," he said as he rose to his feet.

"Okay then, can I go to the car now?"

"Yeah," he brought out Tise's car key from his pockets, after collecting it from him, I headed out to where the car was parked and unlocked.

Settling in the front seat, I blew out air in an attempt to calm my anger. After sitting for close to ten minutes, the guys got settled in and Clinton drove off. Throughout the ride, we didn't say anything, so, immediately we got home, I hurried to my room without bothering to help Clinton with Gabriel or Tise.

"K.Y" Juliana and Crystal called in unison and that made me startled. Why were they still awake? It wasn't until I heard the sound from Juliana's phone did I realize they were watching film.

"Why did you call my name like that?" I questioned immediately I regained my stance.

I pulled off my clothes and changed into my nightwear before slumping on the bed, then I huffed.

"Oya, come and gist us, how did it go?" Crystal asked cheerfully as she jumped on my bed.

"What made you angry?" Juliana questioned. It wasn't surprising how she knew I was furious, I mean we've been friends since forever so she knew everything about me.

I nodded my head and she joined me on my bed.

"What happened?"

Then I narrated everything to her, letting it out made my anger disappear.

"It's complicated," Juliana commented after I'd finished my explanation.

"Don't you think you should try explaining everything to Zayd again?" Crystal inquired and I shook my head.

"I'm pissed right now, why can't he just believe me? I trust him so much, so, why can't he do the same? I'm not ready to explain anything tonight, maybe tomorrow," I told her and they nodded.

Crystal readjusted her sitting position, "Any other interesting thing apart from what happened? Did Tise dance with any girl?"

I shook my head, "Nope, he didn't even stand up at all, he was only drinking."

"That guy is no fun at all," Juliana commented. Yeah, he isn't.
