The rest of the week goes by in a haze and the weekend is finally here, obviously Hailey plans on dragging me out to a club or something, not feeling the vibe but I'll do almost anything for my best friend 'almost' lol.
Hailey "girl we are not going to church"
"The hell you mean ,this dress is perfect " I say "for a funeral and to send men running for the hills"
"Hailey my ass is almost hanging out" i say looking at her intently. " besides I'm not on a man hunt"
"Well you need a man and this dress won't cut it" she says.
Rushing back into my closet I rummage through what is Hailey acceptable and find a body hugging dress with a slit dangerously exposing most of my left thigh and has a low cut neckline. It's covered in diamond embellishments and dark sequins and the material is almost transparent. I pair it with some black open toe thigh high boots and step out.
Hailey " Oh my goddess" she says her mouth almost on the floor.
"Happy now" I say with a mischievous smile
"Fuck yes bitch, like damn!" She yells in excitement "let's go, right now" .
Zaya "calm down woman, am moving".
We get to the club and it's hot as hell but Hailey gets us a VIP lounge and we settle down, and of course there's a herd of guys staring at us and I'm sure by now have undressed us completely just by looking at us. We finally get to the lounge and thank God for the AC above us because I would be baking right about now.
We get a couple of cocktails,but first, some shots to start. I love my absolut vodka.
After a couple of drinks we get on the Dance floor and I'm gone. Zaya, vodka, music and a dance floor with mirrors, fucking gone. The feeling of being so in touch with my body and soul is liberating and I get such a rush. I could dance forever.
I turn to find Hailey but she's halfway across the dance floor dancing with some guy, am out here dodging men left and right as I sway my hips and move my body to the rhythm of the music. Right in the corner of my eye I see it. No, not again, it can't be him. I look again but there's no one. Must be the alcohol but there he is again. I stop dancing and search for Hailey.
I find her pushed up against the wall with some guy.
"Excuse me" I say dragging her away
"What the hell" she yells at me. " he's here" I scream
"What, who?" Hailey. "Paris guy"
I nod
"No way, are you sure?" She asks.
"Yes, at first I thought it was the alcohol but it's not,I think. Every time I blink he vanishes" I exclaim
"You wanna leave?" Hailey asks with a worried look.
I look around but I can't see him. "You should stay, I'll find my way" I respond .
She looks at me " are you sure, I really don't mind, we can go"
" I know you don't want to leave, don't worry about me, am good" I say giving her a reassuring smile.
"Go on, go back to your mystery man" I prod her, "he's really cute" I say raising an eyebrow.
Hailey "fine, text me when you're home" and she blows me a kiss and disappears onto the dance floor with the cutie.
I grab my purse and head out.
Back home and I am starving. It's almost midnight but I can still order a pizza.
After stuffing my face I can barely sleep so I decide to watch the magicians and slowly I drift off to sleep.
Bzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!! Bzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!
Where's my phone, I hear it buzzing.
"Hello" I say in sleepy voice.
"Open the door Zay" Hailey yells.
Tossing the phone on the couch I rub my neck cuhz it's sore, damned couch.
I open the door and Hailey steps in. And yes,she's still wearing the clothes from last night.
"You don't have to yell" I say with an irritated look
"Well I've been calling and you weren't picking up " she replies.
"Walk of shame?" I say yawning as I settle down on a couch across from her.
"I am a strong and independent woman, I have no shame" says Hailey in a bold voice.
We both burst into laughter.
"Breakfast is in order " I say getting up and walking to the kitchen.
"It's almost 12 in the afternoon" Hailey says giggling.
"I don't care, it's never too late for breakfast " I reply.
"Good old Reese" she says "I need to shower"
Zaya "you know where to go booboo kitty"
"I'll be right back" she says giggling at my booboo kitty comment.
After showering and slipping into a pair of my sweats and a T-shirt,we eat and sit at the kitchen counter .
"So, how's mystery man" I tease. "We had an eventful night,and morning.
"Sure you did" I reply.
Noticing how my mood switches up suddenly Hailey can't help but have a worried look.
"What?" I ask
"You can't keep running away from men Zaya, that asshole is long gone. Don't you wanna find love" she says.
"I do,but....."
"But nothing, you're already running from this guy and you haven't even had a serious confrontation with him, you might've been drunk last night but if you weren't Imagining him there and he turns up in your life, you can't push him away so quick, you can't even dance with anyone at the club now,or anywhere. There are plenty of guys that you've turned down, so many that will treat you the way you deserve but if you don't put yourself out there you won't get a chance to be with them." Hailey says.
"Don't you think I know that? It's not that easy, I invested my entire being into that relationship and a month after we break up he's getting married, it's like having your heart broken twice and it fucking hurt. The vacation was suppose to help me get over it, in a way it did but I still need some time, not everyone heals the same way. I just don't wanna get broken again " I say.
"I hear you, but at least try okay" she says
"Okay" I say hugging her.
I know, heartbreak. Zaya is a character partially based on my life. So through her I'll express some of my experiences. But not all. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Kinda short but I'll make sure the next chapters are longer.
Please comment and give suggestions where you think it's needed. Next chapter we just might officially meet Paris guy.
More soon. *kisses*
