Claire glanced at herself in the mirror. She really didn't want to go out with Casey and Jessica tonight. She wanted to stay home in her small apartment and finally finish off that pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and settle in with a good book. However her current situation left her aggitated.
"Damn it Claire hurry up!" Jessica screamed making Claire jump.
"Kiss my ass Jess I am not wearing this!" Claire looked at her current attire.
"Come on Claire it's not that bad. It will make you stick out" Casey called.
Claire rolled her eyes. Yep she would stick out alright, like a clown at a funeral. She sighed and pulled the skirt down a bit. With one last glance she opened the door to her bedroom to see Casey and Jessica smiling at her.
"Hey hot mama" Jessica hollered.
"Claire you look amazing" Casey gushed.
Before Claire could respond a honk outside let them know their taxi awaited.
"Well come on, don't want to be late to the party" Jessica grinned tossing Claire her coat.
"Why can't yall go without me again?" Claire whined.
"Because our dear unsocial butterfly, your name is on the guest list and without you we are fucked ducks" Jessica grinned.
"Nice visual Jess" Casey rolled her eyes.
Claire laughed at the situation as she grabbed her bag and keys. The sooner she arrived the sooner she could make her escape and finally have that night with Ben and Jerry.
The night air was hot and sticky as they all stepped outside of the apartment. They quickly piled on to the back seat of the taxi giving the driver the directions.
"So rumor has it that Tom will be there" Casey said looking towards Claire.
"What?" Claire all but screamed.
"Yep, him and a few of his friends. Including Chris" Jessica wagged her eyebrows at Claire.
"I think I'm gonna puke" Claire said hanging her head between her legs.
Claire had known there was a chance Tom would be there. It wasn't like she was a stalker or anything. She still spoke to Tom from time to time over email, besides she wrote the local event collum at the paper. Since Marvels announcement of filming here in Atlanta she had to cover it, as much as she didn't want too her boss made sure she would be there. Then there was the case of Chris Evans. She had secret crushed on him for years. Hell what hot blooded woman didn't want to get vertical with him? Hell Claire wanted vertical, horizontal, upside down and side to side. She blushed into the darkness of the taxi.
"Holy shit, look at the crowd" Jessica said as all three girls snapped their heads left.
"Is that Robert Downey Jr?" Casey said In a gasp.
"Hells bells it is!" Jessica grinned.
"Remember the talk of not ditching me?" Claire said her voice giving way to how nervous she really was.
"Don't worry babe, we got this" Jessica smiled.
Claire sighed, oh yeah they got it alright. She sucked in a deep breath and climbed from the taxi following Jess and Casey.
"Here we go" Claire said as she made her way to the front door and greeted the guard.
"Name?" the bald burly man asked looking down at his clipboard.
"Andrews" Claire spoke looking around at the crowd.
"Come on in" he spoke moving aside and releasing the velvet rope.
