Thirty and Single.

Chapter 19.

He left! He fucking left me!

I stood in my kitchen as I watched Colton leave. I wanted to run after him but it was useless. I don't even think he likes me. I am just wasting my time. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Genesis are you okay?" I heard Brooklyn asking me. I turned to look at her and gave her a nod. She ran to me and hugged me tightly. "Shhh..please stop crying darling. Everything will be okay." She told me.

"I...I kissed him and he walked away." I said in sobs.

"Hush baby! He doesn't deserve you." She said. She kept hugging me until I was calm then we sat at the kitchen table.

"You know what?" She asked.

I gave her a confused look "What?"

"We are going out! Let's get dressed up." She suddenly pulled me from the chair. I don't want to go out! I just wanna curl myself in bed and cry till I fall asleep.

"But Brook-

"No buts. You can't lock yourself in and cry for him. You need to go out and be seen!" She said which was so true. I want a boyfriend. How can I get one if I stay in?

I took a tired sigh and said "Let's get dressed!"

I wore my black Catarina ruffled mini dress with some pink pumps while Brooklyn wore her Balmain sequined short pleated dress with some black ankle boots. She did our hair and makeup.

We drove to The Luxe. It was a Friday night and there were a lot of people waiting outside. "Brooklyn, I don't think we'll get in. Let's just go back home." I said.

"No! We can't go back home. Follow me." She said that and I followed her. People kept staring at us because we looked really good. Some men tried to talk to me but I wasn't in the mood. All I wanted was to dance and get drunk.

We reached the main entrance then Brooklyn went and talked to some guy who was a bodyguard I think. She took out her phone and showed him something then they laughed. I was so uncomfortable with people, especially men staring at me. I just wanted us to get in the club. Few minutes later Brooklyn came to me and said "Let's go baby!" We entered the club and the music was so loud.

"How did you do that?" I asked her.

"He is friends with Logan." She told me as we walked to the counter. Now it made sense.

"Hello beautiful ladies. What can I get you on this lovely night?" The bartender asked us.

"Um...I'll have a dirty vodka martini." Brooklyn said.

"I'll have a Jager bomb shot, make it three please." I said and Brooklyn shot me a glance.

"What??" I asked her.

"I am just happy that you're taking something strong." She said with a smile. Our drinks arrived and I took one shot.

Few minutes later the alcohol started kicking in. All I wanted was to dance. "Lyn, let's go dance" I begged her. "No girl, you go show your thing." She said as she sipped her martini.

I don't know where I got the confidence. I walked to the dance floor. Levitating by Dua Lipa and DaBaby played and I started dancing. Some redhead guy wanted to dance with me but I refused to dance with him. He kept following me wherever I went. So, I decided to go back to where Brooklyn was.

I took another shot and felt like I was spinning. "I see you got yourself a redhead." Brooklyn said with a grin.

"I...I don't wanna dance with him." I said and finished my last shot. "Brooklyn you're driving." I told her. I think I was starting to feel drunk. "Do you feel drunk?" She asked me. "I...I think so." I said.

"C'mon, we are just getting started!" She pulled me to the dance floor. Our favorite song Tick Tock by Clean Bandit and Mabel played. We started dancing while singing. It was so fun and I had a great time with Brooklyn. I completely forgot about Colton.

Hours of us singing, dancing and laughing passed. My hair was a mess, I am sure my makeup isn't looking good and I smelled alcohol. We went back to the counter to get more drinks because we were thirsty. The bartender gave me a glass of 1996 Dom Perigion Rose Gold Methuselah champagne.

"But I didn't order this." I said.

"It's from someone at the VIP table." He said. I looked up at the VIP area and my eyes met with a handsome blonde guy. He smiled and waved at me.

"Omg! That is Dimitri Vladislav." Brooklyn said.

"Who is Dimitri??" I asked her.

"He is the richest guy in town!" She said.
