I get home from my long day of work and put my bags down and get on my couch, I don't know what to do because I'm bored, I don't usually do a lot in life because there's nothing for me to do. I don't have many constant people in my life anymore but sometimes I'm okay with being alone, I prefer to be alone.
I shake my head trying not to think about that tonight and get up and make myself some dinner, I get some lettuce, cucumbers, green pepper, and a couple of other things making myself a salad.
I could work out?
My twenty-two-year-old self isn't that active?
Maybe tomorrow.
I grab my fresh salad along with some water and dim the lights while trying to find something to watch on tv.
I haven't been watching much lately because I can't find anything good to watch, cobra kai? The vampire diaries? Spinning out?
I shrug and turn on spinning out and to be honest I kind of found the show really interesting.
...
I don't even realize I fell asleep on the couch until I wake up with the bright sunrise in the morning before I get off of the couch and wash my salad bowl.
I take a quick shower and clean myself up then get a white dress shirt and a cedar brown shaded skirt putting that on, I leave some of the top buttons from the dress shirt unbuttoned leaving a little cleavage from my full breasts but not too noticeable for a... library.
I dry my hair and put-on light makeup too.
I get on my shoes and spray a little perfume on myself before grabbing my bag and looking in one last time before also grabbing my phone and turning off my apartment lights along with closing and locking the door and walking down the stairs of the building and to the parking garage where my car is.
I get to the library shortly after and see Lisa at the desk next to mine drinking coffee.
"Good morning" I smile at her.
"your outfit looks cute, trying to impress someone?" she grins.
"no" I sigh setting down my bag next to my chair and sitting on it.
"not today at least" I laugh as she nods.
"have you seen the advertisement for van luca lights nightclub tonight?" Lisa questions me
"what do you mean?" I ask her as I turn on my computer.
"I've heard the owner is going to be there tonight, you should come!
Get out once in a while, ditch your books" she tells me.
"That might be fun." I chime in.
I don't know why I said that but maybe I could try something new right?
"wait really!? we won't stay for long, we'll get a couple of drinks then dance."
"Yeah. I'll think about it." I tell her.
"go check the pride and prejudice in the back," Lisa tells me "we got a new order for the original copies," she tells me.
"the original covers?" I ask her as she nods.
"I'll be back," I tell her as I get up and walk past the bookshelves to the storage and look for the pride and prejudice copies.
I flip on the light and look at the box near my feet,
It's completely ripped the tape the cardboard box, and no copies.
"what?" I mumble to myself as I bend down and look at the other boxes around it.
I pick up the box and walk back down to the front desk.
Someone couldn't have taken them. There are locks all over the place.
Maybe someone just already stocked them and left the boxes.
"did someone already re-stock?" I ask her to hold up the destroyed box.
"no- what happened?" she asks getting up and taking the box.
"I'm asking you I don't know what happened?" I tell her.
"I'll figure it out, you sign out books for today and think about my offer later!" she eyes me as I nod.
...
"I'm ready now come out I want to see!" I hear Lisa whine in the other room.
I look at the mirror one last time looking at the dress I had put on for the nightclub, of course, Lisa had bragged me into going with her tonight.
The navy-blue dress I was wearing hung to the curves I didn't even know I had, I hadn't warned many dresses like this often.
I touched up the mascara I was wearing one more time before I opened the door and see Lisa and her dress.
"I need to get you to get out more" she grins as she looks at me taking in my new appearance.
"let's go!" she smiles as I grab my phone and clutch then we head out of my apartment.
The drive there was kind of short only about twenty minutes, but we just had little conversations about life honestly, Lisa wasn't that close to my age she was about twenty- seven and I was only twenty- two but I like I said I didn't have many other constant people in my life, because of the number of friends I lost after graduating.
"you ready?" I turn to see Lisa closing her car door like me, as we both walk to the front before I adjust my dress around my thighs and hold my clutch tighter.
"yup" I squeak before closing my mouth.
I had to admit this was the first time I went to a club, but I had done. other fun things I guess you could call it. But that's a story for another time.
I look up as we walk into the front and I can feel the cold wind blowing my hair to the sides as we walk, but I continue to look up and read the "van Luca lights" nightclub sign at the top when I can see the lights flickering inside and hear the music from outside of the club.
"Lisa and Josephine," Lisa tells someone.
"ages?" the man eyes me.
"twenty-seven and twenty-two" she looks him up and down.
I wait impatiently as the old dude writes something on his little board before letting us in.
We get in and the flickering lights are much brighter inside, the music is much loud, all the money on the floor and in the air as you see the girls in little clothing spin around the poles, and the boys sit on the booths and sitting area, s everywhere.
We walk over to the bar area where I see another girl around my age dancing around bobbing her head but stops when she sees us and smiles.
"Welcome to Luca lights, what can I get you!" she yells over the music.
"surprise us!" Lisa laughs back as I go wide-eyed.
"id's please," she asks us as I take out my license from my bag and give It to her before she nods and gives us them back.
I look back around getting a better view around me, still shocked.
"What kind of club is this?!" I ask the girl when I look down and see "Lauren" on her name tag.
