"The challenges on your journey can either be distractions or opportunities. Don't allow the challenges to distract your vision. With positive mind-set, you can turn them into wonderful opportunities." -Lailah Gifty Akita
I stood there looking in the mirror wondering who this person was in front of me. Dark blue skinny jeans hugged my perfect legs with my hooker boots hitting the floor. They made me look taller. I picked a turquoise top that slanted off my shoulders, it made my eyes look turquoise instead of the teal blue color they usually were. I had on a gold necklace that held a bunch of random charms and five round gold brackets on my right wrist. My white and gold watch was on my left wrist. I put on makeup for the first time in a really long time, and actually curled my hair so that it fell down my back. I applied some pink lip gloss over the very thin layer of pink lipstick I'd put on a few minutes ago. I hate lipstick. The way it smells, the way it feels, it's so gross to me, but I love my pink watermelon lip gloss. That is usually the only make up item I will wear. It's either that or my strawberry Chapstick. Ok here we go. I headed out the door and bumped into my sister in the kitchen as I was leaving.
"Oh my god. Sis you look amazing. I have never seen you like this, ever!"
I smiled "I was attacked and held hostage until I conformed."
She laughed "Erin right?"
"Bingo. She didn't give me a choice. Then she demanded that I go out tonight with everyone."
"I'm glad she did it's about time, and I'm super proud of you. You look great, have a fun time."
"Thanks I love you sis" I gave her a hug and headed out.
"Don't worry I won't wait up for you," she winked and laughed at me while I was walking out the door.Driving up to Erin's place I saw that everyone was already there waiting. It was around ten and I was already dead tired, but I was also excited too. I guess that was the only thing keeping me going at this point. I got out of the car and walked inside. They all turned to look at me and every single one of their mouths dropped.
My eyes grew wide I started panicking "What? Do I look awful? Oh my god I knew this was a bad idea."
"Holy fucking shit Ally" Monica sputtered out.
"Wow" the rest muttered.
My eyes immediately found Vanessa's and she batted her eyes and looked into mine. Butterflies took over my stomach. Maybe it was a million little jumping beans having a rave, I don't know, but I've never felt such excitement, ever. She smiled really big at me. It was totally genuine. I smiled back at her.
Kat cleared her throat destroying my little moment, "You look really really hot Ally. You cleaned up nice."
Lisa was next "It's mind blowing what some clothes that actually fit will do to a person, isn't it?"
I couldn't stop blushing "Uhh sure I guess, thanks." I finally let out a small smile. "Are we going to leave now?"
"Hell yes, I'm going to show you how to have a little fun tonight Ally. Are you ready?" Monica questioned.
"Am I ready? I was born ready, bitch."
"Yes! That's what i'm talking about. I am, like, so proud right now. So who is going to babysit Ally and I tonight? Because we are going to go crazy." Monica asked.
Kat and Laura both nodded "We will."
"Huh? Babysit I'm too old for that shit" I complained.
Julie reassured and winked at me "I think Mon has another plan for you tonight Hun."
"Whatever let's just go."
I got into Kats little sports car with Lisa, Erin and Vanessa. I was sandwiched in the backseat in between Vanessa and Erin. My thigh kept brushing against Vanessa's and I couldn't help but to feel the electric currents that would zap me every time. Erin patted my leg reassuringly.
"Please don't let me drink too much and do anything stupid tonight" I begged Erin.
"Ally, you deserve to let loose a little. I won't let you do anything stupid but I really want you to have fun."
I smiled at her, "Ok I really will try."
Vanessa turned her head towards me "Are you old enough to drink?"
I laughed really hard at her "Of course I am. I'm twenty-seven."
"Whoa are you serious? You look like you're eighteen maybe could pass for twenty."
I laughed again "Yea I'm serious. I've never looked my age. I still get carded for buying white out and NyQuil all the time."
Erin laughed "Hey remember last week when they carded you at the movies and didn't want to let you in?"
"I know I'm used to it though. My mom used to say that when I was fifty I would still look like I was thirty and everyone would envy me" I laughed at the memory. Erin squeezed my leg.
"Smart lady" Vanessa said.
I sighed and simply nodded my head. I guess she sensed my sudden change in mood and put her hand on top of my hand. I stiffened and after the aftershock of annoying butterflies, finally relaxed a little. I quickly glanced at her and she had a little smirk on her pretty face. She so knew what effect she had on me and was using it! Before I could say anything we pulled in the parking lot of our destination. Shaking my head I got out of the car and was attacked by Monica. "Come on Ally, let's go have some fun" hooked arm in arm we walked past the long line and straight into the club. I guess having a famous model in your group pays off.
