It was Dakota's brilliant idea to invite Adam, Kyle, Roddy, Marina, and Adam's girlfriend Britt Baker to the club with us tonight to make it a group thing.

"Kyle's going to be fifth wheeling," Ember joked when Dakota asked the guys if they wanted to come with their significant others.

Back at my apartment, I take a shower and get ready to go. I got back around five and Dakota said she'll pick me up around seven. Once showered and all shaved, I blow dry my hair and put it in a curly ponytail on the top of my head. I do a pink smokey eye look, adding some glitter to the eyeshadow. I add a rose gold color to my lips. I apply some highlight to make my face a little shiny. I wear a pair of strappy white heels to match the rose pink color of the dress.

My phone begins to ring as I'm gathering my things. It's Dakota. I answer and say, "I'm just getting everything together."

Dakota says, "Cool. I'm outside. I have Ember with me. Everyone else will meet us at the club."

"Cool," I say, putting my ID, some cash, and my credit card in my little white purse. "I'll be down in two minutes."

Kota says, "Alright. See you in a few."

The line goes dead and I finish gathering my things. As a last-second decision, I put on a silver necklace with a little pink rhinestone in a flower with silver earrings. I grab my keys and I head down to Dakota's car. I slide into the backseat of the car.

Ember and Dakota both look at me and Ember says, "That dress was the perfect choice for you. You wear it so well and you look stunning."

My cheeks get red and I say, "Thank you, Ember. Both of you look stunning as well."

Dakota wears a formfitting black two-piece dress. Her pink hair is down. Ember wears a black cami crop top under a green cameo jacket with a pair of black leggings and converse.

Kota drives to the club and I get a call from Kyle. I answer the phone and say, "Yes?"

Kyle says, "Ouch, that's how you answer the phone? I was just calling to see if you wanted to come over to my place after we're done at the club. Movies and ice cream await us."

"Cookie dough?" I ask.

My boyfriend says, "Duh. Of course. I wouldn't invite you over just to not have cookie dough ice cream. I'm smarter than that."

I laugh and say, "I hope so. Also yes, that's fine." I'm looking forward to this ice cream more than I'm looking forward to going out with friends. I've been having this craving for ice cream over the past few days. I think it's just because I'm due for my period any day now. I always crave ice cream when I'm due for my period.

Kyle says, "Perfect. I'll see you in a little bit."

"See you in a bit," I say before hanging up the phone.

Ember's looking back at me and she asks, "Who was that?"

There's no point in lying to her, plus it'll make sense when I leave with Kyle, so I say, "Kyle. He was asking if I wanted to do movies and ice cream at his place whenever we're ready to leave."

Dakota pulls into the parking lot and asks, "Cookie dough ice cream?"

I smile and say, "The man dated me for four years, plus he's trying to make up for cheating on me. He knows to have cookie dough ice cream when I'm around." All three of us laugh as Dakota pulls into a parking spot. I recognize Adam's car beside us.

The three of us get out of Dakota's car and head inside. We show IDs before we get in.

In the corner at one of the booths, we spot Adam, Britt, Shotzi, and Kyle. We walk over and Shotzi says, "Okay, damn Rylee. Showing off that figure. Are you trying to find a new man tonight or something?"
