"PLEASEEEE!" Brielle begged over the phone. "Let's go out! You know, a girl's night, just the two of us."
"No." I responded flatly. I honestly had too much on my mind right now. Especially after that kiss with Adonis.
"Look," Brielle said quietly. "I know the last time you came over, Ashley ruined the vibe. But why don't we go out so that you can let loose a little?"
Maybe I was looking for an escape, because after that plea it didn't take much convincing.
"Fine," I muttered. "And which bar did you have in mind?"
"Omigosh I love you! I'm so glad you changed your mind. I made reservations for Le Sol under our names months ago, so really you had no choice but to come with me."
Typical Brielle. Always thinking two steps ahead.
I laugh. "I'm actually not surprised." We said our goodbyes and I hung up the phone. I had actually just ordered a dress to treat myself. A 'got rid of my abuser' gift.
I actually feel good after that foolish stunt Adonis pulled. I haven't been feeling good about myself. Nothing a couple drinks couldn't fix.
Bri was coming to get me at 7, so I have a couple hours to prepare.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The doorbell rang and then entered Brielle. She had a key to my house just in case one day I needed her help.
"ARE YOU READY" She screamed as she neared my room. "Omg Zara babe what are you doing on the floor?"
"Leave, I don't wanna go anymore."
"What no. You always do this, I'm not letting you back out. You're not alone anymore, I'm here for you, I love you girl." She lifted me from the floor and dried the tears from my eyes. I mumbled an 'I love you too'.
She saw the dress I was going to wear and dusted it off. Here, go get dressed." SHe gave me pleading eyes. I rolled my eyes and got up.
I just needed a little pick me up, I'm not a very stable person.

I finished getting ready and we headed for the door. I wore a red satin dress that hugged my curves and a gold strappy heel. I grabbed my clutch and walked out.
Brielle drove a Porsche, a gift she got when she turned 16. I loved the relationship she had with her parents. Sometimes I even envied it.
I hopped in the car, on the passenger side, remembering I couldn't drive.
When we arrived at the nightclub there were cars everywhere. Security was everywhere and apparently it was opening night.
She parked the car and we came out. "Wow, I didn't think it would be this crowded. Oh and Chris should be here too."
I have known Chris since I was 7, a great friend. I just never liked talking to people. If you wanted a relationship with me to keep going, you would be doing all the work.
"Heyy girls." The moment I heard the voice I was pushed up against a tall frame.
"Zara babe you look so gorg. If I wasn't into dick I would totally smash."
"As if I would let you."
"Ok cmon, I wanna get drunk." Bri grabbed our hands and pulled us in. Chris held my hand to make sure I wouldn't get lost in the crowd. I was 5'3 if I never mentioned it.
"Wait guys I just saw the hottest guy, I'll be back...maybe not." She whispered the last part to herself before she was left.
I turned back over to Chris to see him also eyeing a guy.
Great
"Go, I'll be here." His eyes widened
"Really, aww I love you so much girl. Wish me luck."I winked at him before he kissed my cheek and left.

I was already 6 drinks in, bored out of my mind. The vodka was starting to have some effect on me.
I turned back over to the bar and took a seat. Absolutely nothing was keeping me here. I scanned the room, now really seeing what the club looked like. There were lights everywhere and girls dressed as hookers serving drinks.
Whoever owned this club had money. There were game tables and a section of the room just for dancing. Along with that there was a VIP section, to know who was actually important. There were about 5 men seated in the room. Most of them were smoking or were being straddled by one of the 'hookers'.
I was about to look away when one pair of green eyes stuck me.
Adonis
He was sitting against the couch with his legs sprawled and his head on the top. His face held no emotion as he stared into my eyes.

What is she doing here? I thought.
She was scanning the room, observing everything in sight. I watched, I watched her like a creep. I just couldn't seem to get my eyes off her.
Everything about her drew me in. Her soft lips and her eyes. And the dress I was wearing tonight made me want to call her mine.
It was satin red, my favorite color was always black but she made red look so good.
She started to look in my direction, thens he made eye contact with me. Her brown eyes bored into mine. She turned around and set her drink down. She hopped down from her seat and I could see almost lost her balance.
She was drunk.
She made her way over to where I was sitting. She lifted my chin so she could get a better look at me. "What? You're not happy to see me?" I would usually never let someone touch me but 1when she did, it felt peaceful. Something I had never felt before.
I continued to stare at her as she grabbed my hand. " I wanna dance with you."
"I don't dance," I said coldly.
"Oh c'mon, just one song." When she drank she was surprisingly nicer, I liked her.
"You're drunk."
"And this is a nightclub." I stood up while holding her hand gently.
