Putting on my red lipstick, I backed all the way up from the mirror to take in my complete reflection. I had finally styled and curled my jet black hair, it now flowed in a proper side part, bluntly cutting off at the length of my neck. I wore a black satin dress with a slight divot in the chest area. A slit on either side of the dress crept up my thighs. The back of the dress rested just above my lower back, threatening to expose the contents within. I paired the outfit with black, chunky plot twist heels.
I was ready to go out tonight. It's been a while since I've looked this put together.
I grabbed my phone off the counter in my bathroom and texted Jamie.
"Hey, just wanted to let you know that I'm going out tonight."
"Oh my god, seriously?! This is an accomplishment!"
I lightly chuckled to myself.
"Usually I'd have to beg, eventually dragging you to come out with me!" She continued.
"Yeah, I remember those days." I replied.
"Let me see what you're wearing !!"
I turned on my camera, and sat my phone on the counter, while putting on a timer. I did a cute pose with my eyes closed so show off my makeup look. I took the picture with the flash on, the smokey eye shadow I wore glimmering in the light. I quickly retrieved my phone and sent the photo to Jamie on Instagram.
"You look absolutely stunning!! You're making me want to take you out, and bring you home." She sent the message with a winking emoji.
"Haha, you wish. I'm not that easy."
I suddenly realized I've been silently smiling to myself the entire time.
I took one more picture, this time with just my face and a silly pose. I stuck my tongue out and held up the peace sign with my free hand. I then sent the picture to Jamie, grabbed the rest of my belongings, and headed out the door.
As I was about to get in my car, to my surprise, a car pulled up and lightly honked twice. I retreated from the car, staring at the bright headlights in front of me. I shut my car door, placing my hand above my eyes to shield them. It was Tyler.
"Hey... Wow, you look amazing."
"So do you." I said with a smirk. "...So, what's all this?"
"What's all what? Just giving a friend a ride." He looked at me daringly. "Is that a crime?" He added a mischievous grin.
He walked around to the other side of the vehicle; I followed. He opened my door with a bow as I got in. As he shut the door, he hurriedly jogged over to the driver's seat of the car.
"Where are the others?" I questioned as I put on my seat belt.
"Mika is picking up Tina, and I am picking up you." he states while putting on his seat belt and starting the car.
I gave a light smile, slightly trying to conceal it.
As he started up the road, I took in his features.
He had a strong jawline and perfect teeth. Beautiful brown eyes that perfectly match his brown skin. He wore a black dress shirt that you'd typically see under a suit, with a couple of loose buttons. The shirt hugged his body. He wore black jeans that somehow complimented the look just right, paired with white forces. He had one cross earring in his ear paired with a cross chain.
"Something caught your eye?" He said, pulling me out my daze.
"Huh?"
"You were drooling." He chuckled slightly.
I looked away toward the passenger window, a little embarrassed.
"I take it you like what you see, huh?" He said slyly.
"I guess you could say that." I responded, not holding back.
He glanced at me. Everything seemed to go in slow motion for the entirety of the ride. We talked and laughed the whole way to the club.
When we finally arrived, he helped me out of the car and we walked to the front of the club, close together. As we approached the entrance, Mika and Tina were there waiting for us.
"Ready for a wild night?!" Mika said excitedly.
"Hell yeahhh!" Tina said while throwing her hands up and running inside.
Mika quickly followed after her. Tyler took my hand and we all ran inside after Tina. When we'd finally come to a slow, we reached the bar. Tina was waiting for us. Mika had sat down, Tyler next to her, and I next to Tyler. The rest of the seats had been taken and therefore there were no more seats for Tina to sit. Just as Tina was about to walk away in search for a place to sit, Mika grabbed her by the waist and whispered something in her ear. Tina began laughing and blushing. Suddenly Mika pulled her back, and Tina ended up on her lap.
We all ordered drinks, I ordered a martini, Tina got a cosmo, Mika a margarita, and Tyler, henny on the rocks.
"Do you guys want to head up to VIP?" asked Tyler. I could barely make out a word he was saying. The club was especially busy tonight. However, I nodded along in agreement with everyone else.
I followed behind Mika who was being led by Tina, us all collectively behind Tyler. After walking up a flight of stairs or two, we reached the top where another bouncer stood guard. We weaved through the line of people desperately trying to gain entrance. Tyler greeted the bouncer and made small talk. Eventually we got passed.
It was a little quieter up here.
"Who knew you were so important." I said.
"Haha, the more you know." He replied cockily.
"I suppose."
There were some dancers up here. The place was sort of... Magical in a way. The lighting was really setting a mood.
A guy suddenly appeared and greeted Tyler. I then realized who it was.
"Who's the lovely lady you've got here with you?"
"Her name is Kayla, we're out with some friends tonight."
"Hey.. You look familiar."
"Yeah.." I said in a state of awkwardness.
"You're the girl from the cafe!"
"You would be correct."
"Haven't changed I see."
"Nope."
"Great so we all know each other." Tyler butted in cheerfully. "Let's get some drinks going!" He said while throwing his hands up and walking to a private booth.
"I have some business to attend tonight, but maybe I can take you out to dinner sometime?" The guy from the cafe asked.
"Sure, why not."
Before walking away, he turned back around. "My name is Micheal, by the way. It was nice to meet you."
I looked around in search of a familiar face. Tina and Mika were in a corner of their own doing their own thing. I walked over to Tyler who was all the way across the room, he was drinking a bottle of scotch.
"Ya mind sharing?" I said in a huff while sitting down next to him, scooting closer.
He handed me the bottle.
"Where are the other two?" He questioned as he was leaned back in his seat.
"They're making out in the corner over there." I point across the VIP before taking a drink from the bottle.
After many minutes of chatting, drinking, and laughing, we went over to the dancers, throwing money, and dancing alongside them. We even got a private.
As the night came to an end, Tina drove Tyler and I whilst Mika drove herself. Those two had only the drinks Tyler and I pre-gamed with when we had initially entered, as they were busy among themselves the entire time.
While in the car, Tyler and I were in the backseat. Eventually, I dozed off.
We had left for the club around 7:30 pm and are now in the car heading home. It was 12:45 am.
This night was fun, I'd gladly do it again.
