Diana

"You're here?" Diana asked happily as she received Jeff's call.

"I'm outside your house" Jeff replied.

"I will be down in a minute" Diana said and ended the call.

Getting to the living room, she couldn't find anyone there, so she headed to the dining room, fair enough, the whole family is eating without her again.

"I'm going out, and might come back late" she said and turned to leave.

Thomas checked the time and called her name, "Diana, it's late," he said.

Diana halted her step and look at him, "when did he started caring?" She thought, but before she could replied.

"She's having a date" Rihanna said, and continued eating her food.

"A date?" Rachael asked, looking astonished.

Diana rolled her eyes, she knew what the look means, they never expected anyone to be interested in her.

"That's good to hear, have fun" Thomas said, he doesn't mind, if Diana get a boyfriend, then it's good news for him, the doctor had told him how it's possible for Diana to conquer the coldness inside her by having sex.

"Thanks dad!" Diana said and left.

Rihanna dropped her spoon after Diana mentioned Dad.

"What's wrong?" Rachael asked, seeing the unpleasant expression on Rihanna's face.

Thomas felt guilty, he knew the cause, "Rihanna!" He called.

"I've lost my appetite, you guys enjoy your food" Rihanna said and left.

Rachael look puzzled, "What's wrong with her?" She asked Thomas.

"Don't worry yourself, it's nothing" Thomas said and continued eating his food.

****

"Hey! You look good" Diana complemented after seeing Jeff, he look different from his former self.

Probably because he's putting on a jean trousers and a white shirt, which tally with her own outfit, he was a suit up kinda guy.

She hasn't seen him putting on something else, aside from suits.

"You're not bad yourself" Jeffery said with a smile, and walked closer to her.

They stood in front of each other for a few minutes, there was an awkward silence, they aren't sure what to do, they are considering how to do their greeting, maybe a hug, or perhaps a handshake.

"Cut the crap! You wanna hug me or not?" Diana asked in her head.

Jeff: 'Clears throat ' Hi!

Diana rolled her eyes inwardly and gave him an awkward smile, not opening her teeth, her smile seems to creep people out.

"Your friends are waiting" Diana said.

"Hum yeah, they are, let's go" Jeffery said and moved aside for Diana to pass, but they ended up moving left at the same time

They moved right at the same time again and both laughed.

"You first" Diana said.

Jeffrey smile and head toward his Toyota Camry , and opened the door for her, Diana smile and thanked him before heading in.

She sat down and unzipped her pullover, and pulled it off, it would be a total shame if Jeff didn't get to see her blouse.

"Wow!" Jeff exclaimed, which kind of ease Diana's mind, she like the reaction.

"What is that?" She asked feigning ignorance to the already known meaning behind Jeff's exclamation.

"Your outfit is nice" Jeff said, blushing.

He kind of feel glad that it's late, Diana couldn't see his flushed face clearly.

"Thank you" Diana said and whined up the glass, before the car starts moving, and the air starts rushing in.

Jeffrey runs his hand through his brown curly hair and cleared his throat, before starting the car.

It's around 8:45pm before they arrived at the club, they got down from the car, and headed out.

Diana quickly put on her pullover and zipped it close her mouth, she's kinda nervous about what Jeffrey friend are gonna think of her, she was able to conceal her blemishes with makeup, but couldn't do anything about her teeth.

Jeffrey was on call with one of his friends, "we're here man" he said.

"I will be down in a minute" a voice replied to him on the other end.

"Yo! Bro" a nice looking guy stepped out the club entrance and walk toward them.

Jeffrey move closer to him and they shook hands with each other, before hitting their chest against each other playfully, Diana couldn't believe her eyes, the Jeff who is always quiet in the office could possess this kind of personality.

"Hmm" the guy said sizing up Diana from head to toe "your babe?" He said to Jeff.

"Stop looking Brian and let's go in" Jeffery said punching his shoulder playfully.

"What! You just got a girlfriend and expect me not to look, she's hot by the way" Brian said with a smirk, even though Diana is putting on a pullover, her hourglass shape is still very obvious.

During all this, Diana's heart was pounding rapidly, if one guy is this curious about her, what will the others do, "what if they wanted to see her face clearly" she thought.

"Hi! I'm Brian " Brian said and extended his hand toward Diana.

"Diana" Diana said and shook his hand.

"Let go of her hand dude" Jeffery said  and separated their hands.

"I can't steal your babe, I'm only appreciating a beauty, I got mine" Brian said.

They all smile and head in, just as Diana feared, they are not joining the crowd at the main club area, they got a vip room for themselves, which means they won't be dull lights that wouldn't show her full appearance, or crowds that won't make her the centre of attraction.

Getting into the room, there are 4 handsome dudes and five hot girls, Brian walk toward the fifth girl and sat beside her, making the equation balanced.

The boys all stood and shook hands with Jeffery, while the girls peck his cheek and smile at Diana before returning to their seat.

Jeffrey walked toward a vacant seat and sat down, while she quietly sat beside him,"this isn't a date, this is torture" Diana thought.

An orange light illuminated the room, they can see each other clearly.

"Your babe is hot" one of the girls said to Jeff, and he smiled at her.

"Why is she covering her face?" One of them asked, which made Diana heart skipped.

"She doesn't like cold" Jeffery replied the girl.

"Oh! Then let's switched off the A.C,  the weather isn't hot, we can manage" Brian girlfriend said.

"Yeah, we want to see you clearly, this dude has never had a girlfriend, who knew he had such good taste" Brian said.

Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Diana felt a headache coming.

Before she knew what was happening, one of them picked up the remote and switched the A.C. to normal fan.

Diana was about to pull her zip when Jeffery held her hand, "the room is still cold, let the chill subsidies a bit," he said.

Everyone started teasing him for being so caring and all, but Diana had this feeling that Jeffery didn't want her to show her face, it's like he is scared of what his friends might think of her.

She quickly shook off the thought as it came, she had summoned the courage to show her face without worry after recalling how Jeff said he didn't care about her face, that she look good as she is.

"I'm grace, Anna, Elisa, Tunisia, Amy " the girls said their names one after the other.

"I'm Diana" She replied, while the girls again took turns in introducing their boyfriends.

The assigned waitress  walk up to Diana and Jeff, "what would you like to have?" She asked.

Jeffrey had suddenly remained quiet, he doesn't look as lively as before, "Get me a bottle water." Jeff said.

"I would take water too." Diana said feeling a little bit uncomfortable, she doesn't like the mood Jeff is shifting into, he is supposed to be her boyfriend here, but it's looking like she is uninvited among them.

"Water?" Brian asked in disbelief, "What's going on? Why water, we are having alcohol and you guys wanna ruined the mood by ordering water?" He added.

"They just arrived, maybe they are thirsty, who knows if they've kissed their butts out on the way here," one of the guys named Aaron said, while the other burst into laughter.

Diana cough lightly, while Jeff remain unmoved, "we will take the water." he said to the waitress and dismissed her.

Diana glance at him within the corner of her eyes and felt a little bit pissed, she's starting to wonder why he brought her here if he's gonna be acting like this.

"My god! that waitress is hot!" Aaron exclaimed, "I felt like touching those waist." he added.

Diana was shocked by his remark, 'Isn't that girl his babe?' She thought.

"You do that and watch me call in a male waiter and smooch his abs." his girlfriend replied with her brow raised, not showing any sign of annoyance at all.

They all laughed and started making naughty remarks. They will involve her once in a while, talking about her tiny waist and hips.

She smiled in return, but deep down, she knew this kind of friends are headache, as they don't mind saying anything, they just don't care, they are so free, they even made her feel among than her so called boyfriend.

Diana was sipping her water when she heard one of the girls spoke, "Diana take off your sweater, the temperature is better now," she said.

They all nodded in agreement except Jeffery, she summoned the courage and stood, she pulled off her sweater and sat down, she made sure not to smile, still, her upper incisors pushing out her lips can be seen clearly.

There was an awkward silence in the room before one of the girls burst into laughter, while the rest joined, the guys giggled and covered their mouths with their palm, they needed to behave like a man after all.

"Not bad!" One of the girls said still giggling, "I'm just surprised by your teeth," she added and burst into laughter again.

Diana smiled awkwardly, but made sure not to open her teeth, the colour will surely become another topic to treat.

She wasn't surprised by the girl being outspoken, they were making fun of each other a while ago, talking about sensitive stuff like it's nothing, they were even talking about their breasts, which she found ridiculous, but the other party picked out a flaw and talked about it as well, they are just so free with each other.

The laughter died down, and they changed the music from hip-hop to blues, and kept taking their drinks, but some of them still laugh at her once in a while.

Jeffrey suddenly stood up, "we are leaving, you guys have fun," he said.

"What! It's only 10 pm, why the hurry?" Brian asked.

"I will call you guys later" Jeffery said and headed out with Diana, leaving his friend puzzled.

Immediately they stepped out of the club, "talk." Diana said.

Jeffrey stopped in his tracks and look back at her, "I'm sorry." he said.

Diana scoffed, if not for his reactions in the club, she might think he's apologising for his friends mockery.

"Break up right?" She asked.

"I can't do this." he said, looking at his feet.

"It's fine, we haven't started anything yet, so it's cool," she said and walked away, she has forgotten to take her pullover from the club.

"Let me drop you at your place." Jeff offered.

"No thanks, I can find my way." Diana said and walked away.
