There was a knock on my door that Friday evening. I opened up. It was Shade.

I frowned immediately. She had this knack for just showing up. I hated that. Of course, I knew her visit usually ended in sex but the way she comes over like she owned the place irritated me.

"Don't look that way," she said with that annoyingly high-pitched voice. "I brought you a present."

My eyes widened as I watched her pulled the hand of someone just outside my line of vision. Before I knew it, she was dragging another girl into my living room. I gaped at them both. What the hell was Shade planning?

The girl was quite pretty. Her makeup was not as extreme as Shade's and for some reason, she looked a little shy. She smiled at me in greeting and I smiled back. Shade led her to a seat which she took, then she went into my fridge to get a bottle of wine. Again, like she owned the damn place, she went to the kitchen to get glasses and passed them round then began to fill them with the wine.
