"Allie Please please go out with me tonight"… I turn to my roommate and best friend knowing this argument because it is the same one we have every weekend.
"Before you say no remember it is my birthday tomorrow… this is all I want from you, no excuses just a night out with me to celebrate, it's not healthy to never go out you're 21 and will be graduating in just a few months.. PLEASE."
It's been about a year and a half since the last time she was able to drag me out.. this time I feel guilty what best friend would I be if I skipped out on her birthday two years in a row.
I sigh "I really have so much to do…" I reply.
Tara already has me by the elbow directing me towards the bathroom to shower and get ready "I am NOT taking no for an answer." "Tara, I wasn't saying no" as I finished my sentence I could see her eyes light up to an unusual shade of blue and her smile growing wild as she turns me around and wraps her arms around me in an intense hug "ALLIE!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! you are not going to regret this! This is going to be the best birthday gift ever! now shoo go get showered I am picking out what you are wearing" She winked and closed the door before I could stop her.
I'm not sure what I am getting myself into with this but I guess what could one night out hurt.. It's not like something would go wrong every time I attempt to have any fun. I stripped off my sweats and tank top and got in the shower letting the hot drops of water distract me from my thoughts and insecurities about tonight.
As soon as I shut off the water and barely had enough time to wrap my body in my towel Tara was opening the door with a handful of dresses I attempted to keep a smile on my face but as my best friend as always she saw right through it.
"You will have fun tonight and you are going to look sexy doing so, I came in here with the intent to give you a choice of the clothing but I decided there is no fun in that…SO here you are you're wearing this Navy dress"
"Tara… I would hardly call that a dress"
"Oh I am just getting started wait until you see the shoes" Tara smirked and I could tell she was over the moon with my agreement to go out with her seeing as how it was still only 5 in the evening and we were already getting ready.
I rolled my eyes at her " I have a feeling I don't want to see them, just the thought is already making my feet hurt"
"Don't be such a baby" she smiled "Sneakers and flats cannot be worn all the time if you would have let me ween you into this you would be used to it by now"
With that Tara turns out of the bathroom and leaves the Navy dress hanging on the hook behind the door. She arrived just seconds later with a bra and underwear set.
"Now hurry up and get dressed I am going to do the same I figured we could grab a bite to eat before hitting up the city." Tara said with a smile still hugely on her face.
I sighed I should have known we would be going into the city instead of one of the local clubs and put on a smile too "Okay, give me 10 minutes" Tara grabbed me and pulled me into another hug I didn't return because I was busy trying to keep my towel from falling, she turned and was out of the bathroom a minute before I heard her upbeat music start playing.
About an hour later we were ready to leave she put my dark brown hair into a low bun that was slightly to the left side and I did my makeup I lined my eyes with liner and used another dark green on my lids to show off my light green eyes. Tara looked amazing as always with her tall slender body most would kill for where me on the other hand I was just a little shorter than Tara at about 5 foot 6 and had curves a butt and boobs that never shrank no matter what diet I tried. Tara wore a bright pink dress that looked amazing on her naturally tan skin and dirty blonde hair had curls that fell loosely on the ends.
"Are you readyyyy?" Tara exclaimed
"As I will ever be" I replied "But I am starving so lets go" I added with a forced smile.
We stepped out of the cab and started walking towards the restaurant I was walking and looking at Tara as I bumped into someone then suddenly I was falling knowing this wouldn't of happened if I wasn't wearing 4inch heals cringing I wait for the hard impact but what I feel instead is a strong grip grab my waist moments before I hit the ground. I open my eyes and freeze at the sight...
