Alzea came home late at night, her days were so stressful, it was bad. Her classes and her job are making her lose her mind.

As soon as she stepped in, feeling it dark she turned on the light. As soon as she turned on the light, she let out a loud shout. She saw Blake her roommate, and her boyfriend tangled in the sheets, naked.

Blake’s boyfriend rolled off the bed hearing a loud noise. Blake got up annoyed, “what the hell Alzi, can you like shut up? We are tired, let us sleep”.

Alzea walked over to her roommate saying “God Blake, can you like at least do it in your bedroom? I sit on that couch and work on it, and now you ruined it for me”.

“You sat on it before, it didn’t bother you then?”, asked Blake adjusting her sheets and pulling them up to her head to sleep. “What do you mean?” asked Alzea making a serious face. Blake winked and said, “third-time babe”.

Alzea visibly gagged. “I am tossing that couch”, she said leaving to her room. Even though she hated Blake in these situations, she is the only one that kept her sane and entertained. Blake and she got along well and become thick friends in a few days. Both parties knew each other’s families and loved each other dearly.

Alzea retired to her room and freshened up. As soon as she hit the bed, her bed pulled her into a deep sleep. She woke up to the bright lights shining in her room. She always opened her curtains before going to bed making it easier to wake up.  She went to the restroom and did her skincare and hair.

She walked into the dining area where Blake and her boyfriend are chitchatting. Last night was still fresh in her mind, and that scarred her for life. She wasn’t born yesterday; she knows people have sex and it is as common as breathing. But things like this are new to her, where she grew up, it wasn’t a common occurrence and sex was a bit of a taboo. She walked over and joined the conversation just to avoid awkwardness and sat quietly.  

Her roommate looked Alzea in the eye and winked. “Why are you so awkward girl? It’s not like you have never seen two people after sex?”

Alzea glared at Blake sipping her coffee. “You’re kidding? Never? Like ever? Girl!! How are you 25?” asked Blake surprised.

Alzea was irritated at this point, “No Blake, it’s a daily occurrence back home. We stand outside the room holding a towel to offer to them after the activity”.

Blake laughed hard, “girl it is so fun to see you all flushed and irritated. Don’t worry babe I will put on a show if you need it sometime, what say babe?” she asked her boyfriend who is mortified to be in this situation.

Before Alzea could leave Blake continued. “So, since it is Friday, I am thinking of going to a club. I think they are organizing a Bollywood night or something, you can dance to your heart’s content. I suppose there will be some sort of student discount, wanna join?”.

“I don’t know Blake, I have a job this morning, and then I have to work some more, you know assignments and stuff?” responded Alzi putting a piece of toast on her plate.

“Oh! Come on Alzi, it’s Friday, and no harm will come to us. Besides you need to get laid. You are a 25-year-old virgin, don’t you think it’s time to lose it?” asked Blake.

“Naah!! I am in no hurry to die with an STD. If I want, I will come to you and you can point me in the right direction”, said Alzi smiling.

“Your humor is getting out of hand. God, you will die a virgin”, left Blake putting her plate in the sink.

“At least my cookie won’t smell when I die”, ran Alzi out of the room before Blake could get her hands on her.

“Hey someone named Matt stopped by, do you know him? Asked her roommate eyeing Alzea suspiciously.

“Yep, we both are in the same project together, why?” Said Alzea putting on her shoes to leave

“He said he will come to pick you up at 8 and asked you to be ready, is that why you don’t want to go to the club with me?” Asked Blake faking hurt.

“What Club did you say you were going to?”  Asked Alzea ready to leave. “Whisky Saigon” replied her roommate.

“Fine, I will go with you. We planned to go to the same club anyways”, saying this Alzea left her room and headed for her job.

Somewhere in a beautiful Mansion:

An older lady in her 50s can be seen talking to a man on the phone. “What is it?” the woman asked irritatingly. “How many times do I have to tell you not to call me on my direct line? For all we could know, my fucking phone is being tracked and if the brothers get to know that I am behind all of this they will kill me before I succeed. And you do know that I will not go down by myself, right? If I go down, I am taking you with me”. The woman threatened. 

Hearing this the man on the other side said “Are you threatening me? Remember you were the one that wanted this deal. You were the one who wanted to destroy the brothers and in exchange for helping you, you will help me take their position in the Mafia world. You don’t get to threaten me, I do know the risks of this deal and calling you here. But this is an emergency and I needed to know when we are going to implement stage 2 of our plan.
