My Twin Flame

Chapter Eighteen

We chose a bar down on the oceanfront. It had a great island feel. I found this adorable romper well we were looking for shoes earlier. It was low V cut in the front and looked like a two piece from the back. Only the back piece was all lace. I felt sexy, and secretly was hoping to bump into Trent tonight. Shelly looked quite sexy as well. I surprised her with a bride to be sash and a little crown tiara.

When we arrived the music was already bumping and I was ready to let loose, months of stress with my divorce and the kids, it was time to have fun! "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FIRST" Shelly was yelling over the music. "LET'S GET OUR DRINKS AND FIND A PLACE TO SIT THEN WE CAN SCOPE OUT THE SITUATION!" I grabbed Shell's hand and spun her. "DRINKS IT IS!"

Once at the bar we ordered our drinks and pushed through the crowd to find a table. "HOW ABOUT OVER THERE?" Shell yells at me to talk over the music. I shake my head to let her know I can't hear her. She points to a table that seemed to be located in a little quieter area. "THAT LOOKS GOOD TO ME." She motioned she couldn't hear me so I nodded yes.

The music wasn't as loud once we got a bit away from the dance floor. At least we didn't have to yell to hear each other. "That's much better."

"Look at all the sexy men in here. How do we manage to come to this island when I am about to be off the market for life?"

"You have been off the market for a long time already." She was right though, there was hot men everywhere we looked. "I bet most of these guys are only a few years older than Vanessa. I suddenly feel old. Like I could be their mother."

"Only because you started so early. Besides they have a name for that, Cougar." I couldn't help but laugh. "I am no cougar!"

"Have you seen your ass in that outfit. You start dancing and you can have any man you want in this place."

"Ha, I highly doubt that." Just then a young waitress came over to our table. "What are you ladies drinking?"

"Oh we aren't ready for a refill yet." She tells her. "Ok well when you are those gentlemen over there want to buy it." We look over to the table the waitress pointed to. There were some of the most beautiful men staring at us. "See I told you your sexy ass was going to get us free drinks all night."

After getting a feel for the place we decided it was time to take the waitress up on those refills and we hit the dance floor.. I haven't laughed in so long. We drank a few more drinks at our new friends' expense and danced some more. I felt young, for a moment I was forgetting I was a thrity-three year old divorcee with three kids. I felt like I was twenty and having the time of my life.

"THIS IS GREAT SHELL, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR DRAGGING ME TO A TROPICAL ISLAND!"

"I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU NEED. WE ARE SISTER COUSINS REMEMBER. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK."

"I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A BAD MOM. BUT I DON'T EVER WANT TO GO HOME. I MEAN I'M SO TIRED OF BEING TIRED. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN." I yell over the music.

"YEAH." Shelly and I danced some more. Drank some more, although insisted to our dance partners that we would pay for the next round. Finally I was too exhausted and needed to catch my breath. I signaled to Shelly I was going to go sit down. She nodded and followed. Our new friends seemed a bit bummed we left the dance floor. HONEY, DON'T BE SAD WE WILL BE BACK." With that Shelly blew them a kiss.

We got back to our table and I couldn't wait to sit. I was having an amazing time, but I haven't danced in heels since god knows when. "I'm so glad that you're having a good time. I love you Brooklyn."

"I love you to Shelly."

"You know you can take either of them home, or both." She laughed drunkenly loud. "I am sure that is not happening. I have never had a one night stand. Don't think I am going to start now."
