I decided to go out and get a drink or some. I've been up in this room drowned in my thoughts for hours. I needed to get outta my head. The lounge is where I needed to be.

I got up and took a quick shower to freshen up. I did a little makeup and put on a simple outfit. I put on a white tank top and some jeans. I tucked the tank top into my jeans. I left my hair in the slick back and put in my black and white dunks. I switched my purse to my black tote bag. I put on some perfume and moisturized my exposed arms and chest. I left my jewelry from earlier so I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good so I headed out. I grabbed my keys and phone. I headed downstairs and Clark looked at me.

"Where you going??" He asked

"I don't know, but don't wait up..." I said going out the door and closing it

I got in my car and headed to the gas station. I pumped gas then I headed to the lounge. When I got there it wasn't many people but it was a good amount. I parked and got out of my car then locked it. As I got closer the music became louder. I went in and went straight to the bar. My girl Dez was at the bar tonight.

"Hey Dez, can I get the usual and add 2 shots of the strongest thing you got..." I said looking at her

"Coming right up girl..." she said smiling at me

"Well Hello again, Pretty Lady..." I heard and I looked up

I groaned and she laughed.

"Are you following me??" I asked

"I can ask you the same thing..." she said sipping on her drink

"Don't flatter yourself..." I said

"Mmm..." she said sipping more drink
"What are you doing here??"

"Why are you in my business??" I asked as Dez sat my things in front of me and I thanked her

"Just tryna make conversation..." I said using her hand as she talked

I let out a small sigh.

"Sorry..." I said softly

"You good Pretty Lady..." she said

"I just needed a drink it's been a long few days..." I said looking down at my hand

"Hope it gets better..." she said looking at me

"Thanks..." I said looking at her with a small smile
"What are doing here??"

"My little cousin insisted on us coming so why not. I have never been here..." she said looking around

"Really??" I asked kinda surprise

"Is it surprising??" She asked

"It is. You look like you know where all the clubs are. Party girl..." I said

"Well, looks can be deceiving cuz I'm not a party girl. Not the club type either..." she said

"I guess..." I said taking my first shot

I drank some cranberry juice. Her phone started ringing and she picked up. She was talking kinda low but what I did hear was she was hungry. She must didn't know they sell food.
She got off the phone.

"You know they sell food, right..." I said making her look at me

"They do..." she said

"Dez can I get a food menu boo??" I asked

She passed it out to me. I gave it to her and she looked at it. It took her a minute to look at it.

"What you get??" She asked
