Melanie cackled at her friends expression. “Come on Mara, not everyone gonna be a bad experience. I mean, take that gentleman over there for an example,”
Following the direction of her hand, Amara’s eyes landed on the man in particular. She meant to look away the moment she noticed it was Helios, but Tobias’s glaring eyes from beside Helios caught her attention.
Her gaze shifted from Helios to Tobias and for a little while neither of them wanted to back down. Only did Tobias look away when one of his buddies tapped him for a drink.
“He’s the type of man who would definitely sweep a girl off her feet.” Melanie finished, sighing dreamily as her eyes remained on Helios.
“Oh yeah, I bet.” Amara sarcastically said as she looked away, but not without allowing her gaze to meet Helios’s once more. “Look Mel, I’m not really in the market for men right now. I think I’d much rather focus on the company.”
“Urgh, the company,” Melanie groaned. “How is my friend ever going to find happiness if she’s married to her company?” Shaking her head, she added. “I won’t stand for that. We need to find a way to loosen you.”
Melanie wiggled her brows in the process of saying this and Amara just could tell that she was up to something mischievous. However, before she could even get the chance to speak, Melanie had bolted up right at the sound of a familiar music tune playing in the background.
“Oh my God,” She gasped. “This is it! That one song!” She said while tapping Amara’s shoulder rapidly.
“W-what one song?” Amara asked, confused.
“The lyrics! You wrote them! Oh, you’ve gotta sing this. Up! Get up!”
“W-what? No! I’m not singing!” Amara refused, trying her hardest to stop Melanie from forcing her out of her seat. But being the smaller of the two best friends, Melanie had successful pulled her out of her seat with one big fat yank.
“Why not? You’ll sound so good, I know it!” Melanie insisted as she pulled her towards the stage and in seconds, she had gotten in front of the microphone. “Everyone! Everyone, can I please have your attention!” She called, tapping the mic to get everyone’s attention.
