C11 eleven

Come with me, Mawi," I urged Mawi, who was busy reading a book.

I adjusted my shimmering silver mini dress and turned back to her.

She shook her head. "I'm feeling lazy,"

"You're not alone here, Angel is with me. So come along too. It's Saturday tomorrow, and we already got permission yesterday from Ms. Faith that we're off tomorrow, right? Oh, just come along, this is a rare opportunity," I insisted.

She lazily turned to me. "Okay," was her uninspired response as she stood up.

I smiled as I watched her walk into the room.

"Oh! So that's why! You're such a flirt!" I heard Angel say.

I turned to Angel and Sadnie. Angel was wearing a black fitted dress, while Sadnie was wearing a white turtleneck fitted dress. They looked sexy as hell.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Are you being nosy, girl?" Sadnie snapped.

Angel laughed. "There's Sadnie! No wonder she was acting all jittery earlier and agreed so quickly because she likes Benedict!"

"There! You flirt!" I teased and poked Sadnie's side.

"What?!" She scolded me. "He's handsome and friendly!" she explained and rolled her eyes.

"Yiee, you're into Benedict," Angel teased further.

I just laughed. Why didn't I notice it earlier?! No wonder Sadnie was acting all flustered and stuttering because she likes Ben!

"Yie, Ben," I teased back.

"Wow, you're on a first-name basis, you're close," Sadnie sarcastically remarked.

I rolled my eyes. "Just a bit," I replied.

"Oh, you're not, huh? You're not even close like they are," Angel teased again.

"I don't know about you," Sadnie retorted.

We just laughed. Mawi didn't take long to get ready, so she finished quickly. She's now wearing a tube black dress, and we looked sexy!

"Sadnie, this is Mawi, Mawi, this is Sadnie," I introduced.

"Sadnie," she greeted and extended her hand.

"Mawi,"

"Let's go," I urged. "Glad your brother allowed you to use your car?" I asked Sadnie.

She nodded. "This is one of my brother's cars," she answered simply before we entered.

"Wow, you're rich," Angel joked.

"Not really," Sadnie shrugged. "Fasten your seatbelts, peasants,"

"Idiot!" I jokingly scolded.

"Peasants, damn it," she chuckled and shook her head.

We laughed inside the car. Mawi didn't seem to take long to get ready, so she finished quickly. She's now wearing a tube black dress, and we looked sexy!

"Sadnie, this is Mawi, Mawi, this is Sadnie," I introduced.

"Sadnie," she greeted and extended her hand.

"Mawi,"

"Let's go," I urged. "Glad your brother allowed you to use your car?" I asked Sadnie.

She nodded. "This is one of my brother's cars," she answered simply before we entered.

"Wow, you're rich," Angel joked.

"Not really," Sadnie shrugged. "Fasten your seatbelts, peasants,"

"Idiot!" I jokingly scolded.

"Peasants, damn it," she chuckled and shook her head.

We laughed inside the car. As we walked in, a few familiar faces waved at us and smiled. So we returned the smiles.

It's already noisy inside, and there's cigarette smoke in the air.

"Yoreh!" Sai shouted.

We looked at them and waved back.

"Come on!" Sadnie flirtatiously urged and walked ahead.

"Wow, did you transform?! Earlier you were like a prim and proper Maria Clara! And now?!" Angel laughed.

It's not that noisy really. But we can still hear what they're saying, we just have to raise our voices a bit.

"You don't care!" Sadnie answered Angel's question.

We walked towards Sai.

Only Sai, Izi, and Hugo are here.

"Take a seat," Izi offered, pointing to the curved sofa.

I glanced around. Why are only three of them here?

"Only you guys?" I asked as I sat down.

My friends also took their seats. Angel seemed like she was about to break from looking around so much.

Hugo nodded. "Cyrus and Ben went out with Wendrix to talk to someone," he replied.

I nodded. I wanted to ask who they were talking to, but I thought I might sound stupid. Like the hell I care, right?

"Oh, by the way, this is Mawi, Mawi, this is Sai, Izi, and Hugo," I said with a smile, just loud enough for them to hear.

My friends extended her hand immediately. I thought she was going to be snappy or say something crazy again. Good thing she didn't.

"Oh! There they are!" Sai announced.

He waved, so I turned to see who he was looking at.

I looked at Cyrus, and our eyes met immediately. He even raised his brow when he examined my looks. I saw his jaw clenched when he noticed what I'm wearing. What's it to him what I'm wearing?

I didn't even remember what he said earlier, "Just don't wear revealing clothes."

"You're here already!" Ben said and smiled at us.

They sat in front of us while Cyrus squeezed next to me, raising his eyebrow and avoiding eye contact.

"Uh, yeah! Just now!" I replied and turned to Sadnie, who was subtly glancing at Ben.

"Okay! We'll just get some drinks! Come on!" Ben called out to the others.

It's like we're shouting because if we talk in a normal tone, we won't understand each other. They immediately stood up except for Cyrus, so we looked at him.

"What, bro?! You're just staying there?! No one's going to snatch Yoreh from you!" Wendrix teased.

I felt like I was turning red because of what Wendrix said.

Cyrus chuckled. "Just go! I'll stay here!" he assured.

His friend just shook his head and walked away.

"Just to the powder room," Angel excused.

So I looked at them. We just arrived, and they're already going to the powder room?

"You stay here," Mawi said with a mischievous smile as she grabbed me to stand.

Before I could even speak, they ran off.

I took a deep breath. I moved a bit away from Cyrus because I could feel his muscular chest against my arm.

I moved, and he also moved. So I glanced at him again.

I swallowed hard when I felt his arm around my waist. My eyes widened in surprise, and I could barely breathe. I felt like one move, and I'll melt like gelatin.

He pouted. "Didn't I say not to wear revealing clothes?" he asked.

I remained silent, unable to open my mouth due to nervousness.

"Huh? Didn't I?" he asked again in a soft tone.

I bit my lower lip, unsure of how to respond because of my nerves.

"Baby," he whispered, pulling me closer.
