Aurora and I celebrated ten years of friendship, we had the perfect excuse to go out. (I was the mastermind because she didn’t remember our special day).
I opened the door of my nest of madness. She was down and stressed:
” I need your energy today.”
” That and a bottle of wine?” I smiled and hugged her.
We headed to New York and had dinner at Dos Caminos, a Mexican restaurant. Aurora loves margaritas and tacos, we couldn’t go wrong with that. Her smile started to glow and we continued the festivities on a rooftop overlooking the city that never sleeps, just blinks. We danced, we drank and all together (the alcohol and us) decided to raise the bar, and go to 1 OAK. One of the most prestigious nightclubs in New York, famous for hosting celebrities.
At the entrance a male figure, who hung in the middle of the street, awakened my senses. He wore a red hat, informal clothes and was speaking on the phone. He caught my attention because he unquestionably resembled actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
Disinhibited, I approached him:
– Hello! You remind me of Leonardo DiCaprio! “I’ve always been good at stating the obvious.
Silence … That man didn’t react to my presence. He didn’t answer or look at me. I took a step forward and inches from his ear repeated the compliment. In my view a compliment … Nothing! His non-reaction suggested that he was familiar to such approaches:
“Aurora, he must be mute or deaf!” I grumpily said in Portuguese.
Suddenly a security guard tap my shoulder and steered me away from the John Doe. John Doe who was Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, it was him. When we drew back and analyzed the scenario, with some sobriety, I realized that I was completely evasive, inconvenient and ignored by Leonardo DiCaprio. Leo … .Di … .Caprio. 
Maybe that arrogant attitude had deserved it:
“Jack, you’re not the last coca-cola in the desert. That piece of wood was enough for the both of you. Go Kate!” As I snapped my fingers through the air. But that doesn’t matter now.
Shortly after, a group of models joined him and entered the club. We did too, I still can’t understand how tho. We were being ignored by the bouncer because it was late and we didn’t have a promoter with us. We were about to call it a night when a randamon girl pops up:
“How much do I have to pay to get in?”
“You have to buy a table” said the bouncer.
“Take it.” she ordered, giving him her card.
“Table for how many?”
“Three. Me and these two beautiful girls. “She looked at us with a smile.
I stared at Aurora in disbelief.
Where did this girl come from? $1500? What happened here? Ahn ?!
It didn’t matter … As soon as we went through the main door, we were all childhood friends. We drank, sang and danced all night while Leo had fun in the VIP zone. Life is good. 
At five in the morning, we returned home by Uber. Sleeping Beauty snored, in the backseat with her mouth wide open, while the Uber driver and me sang some throwbacks.
Several minutes after staring at the ceiling and describing the climax of our night, ten times, the three of us fell asleep. Aurora, Alice and me.
