The Billionaire's Song

"Let's go already!" Rita was impatient.

She looked smoking hot. She was wearing a black sequinned sleeveless cocktail dress , that complemented her tanned-smooth skin, with killer matching heels and I had donned a white long sleeved catsuit, that was body- hugging and showed modest cleavage . It was both sexy and classy. I completed the outfit with sky-high heels and a matching clutch bag. We both decided to do go with the smokey-eye look since we wanted to try out our new range of eye-shadow pallets that just hit the market and they proved to be very popular so far..

We went for dinner first because we were famished. We tried a local seafood restaurant and after dinner we went dancing. And oh how we loved dancing! We took dance class from the time we were in junior school and now we used it to distress. We club hopped for a bit until we settled at some trendy Trance club that seemed to be the place to be on a Friday night.

We danced for a bit and headed straight to the to the bar. Rita had suggested we go to the VIP section but I wanted to remain low-key tonight. It took a while for us to get a drink so we ordered a bucket and asked the barman to throw in some ice and headed back to our table. I was more of a social drinker, alcohol wasn't really my thing. I could manage a glass or two of wine but Rita could drink herself into a stupor. A couple of guys asked to join us and we just kinda hung out with them.

The night was going great and we were having a good time. Richard tried not to hover over us too much and then a fight broke out. We heard that rivals would sometimes open fire randomly and didn't care when or where it happened. People started screaming and shoving each other trying to escape as gun shots rang out.

"Come this way!" Richard shouted to us over the noise.

He tried shielding Rita and I as we tried dodging bullets and running to the back entrance as it was easier to get out that way. Suddenly Richard lurched forward and slumped to the floor, clutching his shoulder.

"Richard! Richard!" Rita screamed hysterically.

We tried to get to him but there was a stampede and people were falling over each other trying to get out.

I grabbed Rita's arm and shouted "Take off your heels, we got to make a run for it!"

"Rita, breathe. Deep breaths. " she complied. "That's my girl," I said managing a smile.

She gave me a tight smile , removed her heels and took a deep breath and said "Let's do this!"

"Rita we got to try and find Richard, I just can't leave him here. I don't even know if he is.." my voice trailed off.

I couldn't even bring myself to say it.

"Don't worry hun! Richie is a fighter. He won't come all the way across the world to die on us" Rita said as she rubbed my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

Somehow in the midst of this ruckus teargas was emitted into the club and it was difficult to breath or see. All entrances were blocked. We had no where to run.

"We're all going to die!We're going to die Maya we're going to die!" Rita screamed hysterically before passing out.

"Rita! Please wake up!" I shouted but all in vain.
