A Night Stand

“Bone dry Martini for the gorgeous ladies, coming right up.” The bartender responded to Carrie, flashing her a more seductive smile. I scoffed as I watched them flirting with each other. Carrie is such a flirt, she is the life of every party, and she spends all her time clubbing and partying. She is so lucky to be the second child, she doesn’t have to worry about the family business and she will never be pawned off to a lying, cheating bastard.

“Go home, Carrie, I want to be alone.” I told her firmly, but she acted deaf, making it seem like I was talking to myself. The bartender served our drinks and I sipped from my cup, gulping it down in a few seconds. I exchanged my empty glass with Carrie, gulping down hers as well, ignoring the weird look from my sister and everyone else at the bar.

“Fill it up,” I told the bartender, smiling at him the same way Carrie just did a few minutes ago.

“So…

It’s settled then, you are getting married to Riley after all.” Carrie let out a sigh.

“I don’t want to talk about it.” I responded sternly, hoping she would take the hint and back off. But that was merely wishful thinking because Carrie will always be Carrier. She never listens to anyone and she always looks at the bright side of life, that is why she is always cheerful.

“Oh, come on, Mia. You are getting married soon, I know that. And I’m not going to stop you if you want to party hard and have fun before you get hitched to that idiot. But this is not the way to go about it and this is not the right place, Mia. Look around you, sis, everyone is staring at you because of the news of your breakup with Riley. And here you are, portraying the look of an abandoned bride who ends up being a drunk and a sadist.

Gosh, Mia!

That’s awful!

I don’t expect you to whine and sulk like a baby, I expect you to get back at that fool by cheating on him the same way he cheated on you. You are the strongest woman I know, Mia-Mia, and it hurts me to see you this way. You may not be able to stop this wedding, but you can give him a taste of his own medicine by having wild sex with some unknown dude.” I glared at her when she said that and she put her hands up in mock surrender smiling sheepishly.

“Fine, I don’t mean that. But I’m sure you can find a cute guy to hang out with. Sitting in this shitty bar, and drowning yourself in alcohol won’t do you any good. Why don’t you come out with me, just this once?

If you ask me, I think you should make this night a memorable one because very soon, you will be too busy to think about getting back on this guy. Once you get married to him, his family would give you a fancy office in their company and knowing the kind of person that you are, you will spend all your time working so hard to revive our company. This is the perfect chance to get back at that him, Mia. Now come with me I need to set you up with a gorgeous dude.” she ordered sternly, making me chuckle at her choice of words. She has no idea that I am still a virgin. She had always teased me for turning down her invitations to parties and clubs. She would never stop talking about her different boyfriends and sharing her sexual escapades with me. I guess she thought I was just too shy to talk about mine, if she find out that I’m still a virgin, she would freak out. I would never hear the end of it because she would tease and mock me for the rest of my life. But in a way, though, I think she is right.

I never thought about it this way. I know I’m hurting inside for what Riley did, but I never thought of a way to pay him back for screwing my friend. How could I give my virginity to a guy that screwed my best friend? That would be so stupid. I can’t stop this stupid wedding from happening, but one thing is certain.

“Riley won’t take my virginity.”

I thought to myself as I emptied my second glass of Martini. I don’t care if it’s a stranger like Carrie suggested, but before the night is over, I’m going to give my virginity away. Riley doesn’t deserve it and I’ll make sure he doesn’t get it.

“Let us go, sis, I want to have fun tonight. Just take me to the best club in town.” I accepted, making her scream excitedly as she held my hand and dragged me out of the bar. I feel a little tipsy, but I was still able to notice that everyone was staring at us, even as we walked out of the bar. I don’t know why they all think that it is my fault that the wedding was canceled. They should all mind their damn business!

Nosy people!
