A glass of wine might be on tap, so I can be properly equipped to handle my night with Syd. Better yet, maybe I'll grab something a tad stronger instead. This is my first serious girl's night in a while, so I need to get my nerves straight. They're a little shaky at the moment. I reach into my cabinet for a shot glass and something that I normally reserve for "special occasions" and this night is going to be special, so I pour myself a shot of Petron. Feeling the liquid slide down my throat, warming my insides is...whew! I shake my arms, circle my head around, loosening my neck and I'm ready. Let's do this!
After putting the finishing touches on my makeup, I take a look from head to toe. I'm a little bit of a thick girl, or as my mom likes to say, I have curves in all the right places. I've always loved my curves, though. So did Carter. Or so I thought. All that crap with him shot my self-esteem way down to the gutter. Had me thinking I wasn't enough, wasn't pretty enough, wasn't good enough, but not tonight. Tonight, I'm feeling sexy. I'm wearing some high-waisted, skinny jeans with a fuchsia pink tube top, some gold hoop earrings, and gold bangle bracelets on both wrists. I recently had my hair done in braids, so I decide to put them into a top knot tonight. As soon as I slip on my strappy, gold sandals, my cell phone buzzes, telling me Sydney is outside. I keep telling myself that this will be a fun night even though inside, I'm a ball of nerves. Damn, do I need another shot? Maybe I should stay home and chill. Maybe I'm not ready. What if I feel out of place? Ugh! Nope...get it together girl, and let's go. I grab my purse and keys and head out the door.
Syd throws a wicked grin my way.
"Oh damn honey, you look so hot! All the men will be drooling over this fine ass!" Sydney always knows how to make me feel good.
I look out the window into the darkness, nervously chewing on my bottom lip.
Before she pulls off, Syd turns the music down and says softly, "Girl, I know what you're doing, so stop. This night is ours. We're going to have so much fun, I promise, so stop worrying that poor lip of yours." She changes the music and then reaches to give my hand a reassuring squeeze.
We head to the beltway singing , "Imma leave the door open!!"
"Ok...you know I'm nervous, right? So where are we going Syd?"
"Nicole, look, you've got to get your self-esteem back honey. You can't let one little dick do this to you!"
"Um...excuse me, it was a huge dick, thank you!"
"Girl, you've only had one dick, so how do you know?"
She glances quickly at me and says, "Ok, so listen up Nicole, we are trying something new tonight. I need you to have an open mind and remember to have fun!"
"Yeah, I noticed you didn't give me much detail. Should I be afraid?"
Sydney smiles and gives me a sideways glance, "Just remember to keep an open mind!"
Oh, Lord...not a good sign.
After a 20-minute ride, we pull into a parking lot that's packed as far as the eye can see with motorcycles. Oh God, what have I gotten myself into?
"Syd, what is this?"
She parks the car and hops out with a mile wide grin on her face, "Let's go, girl!"
"Yeah, ok, but what is this? Where are we?" I say while getting out of the car and glancing around. I spot some men leaning on bikes laughing and smoking. They glance our way and pause their conversation. Sydney wraps her arm around mine and proceeds to pull me along, waving at the guys. They stare, smile at us, and throw a few whistles our way.
"Ok, so Solomon is having a little something tonight...."
"Oh, ok, cool," on second thought, not cool. "Uh...wait, this is his motorcycle club, isn't it? Syd, I'm not--"
She cuts me off before I finish my sentence.
"Shhh....open mind girl, open mind!"
Syd opens the clubhouse door, and we are immediately thrust into a throng of loud music, the smell of liquor, smoke, and laughter.
We're at a Twisted Motorcycle Club party. My open mind is closing the door.
I whisper yell, "Dammit Sydney!!"
A deep voice yells from across the room, "SYDNEY!!! Damn girl, finally!"
