New York City

March 19th

9:07pm

Car horns, sirens, and Single Ladies by Beyoncé are all I hear as I sit in the passenger seat of Loeys car. I agreed to go out to a club with her because I knew she was being very hard on herself since Ethan and hers breakup.

Since I didn't want my hearing to get any worse from her cat like singing, I reached behind my ears and pressed the button on my hearing aid to turn  the volume down a tiny bit.

We sat in the typical New York traffic for at least 20 minutes before I saw her turn down the radio and nudge my shoulder. I bring my hand behind my ear again and turn up my hearing aid.

"I'm going to park right up there, do you have any money for the meter?" She asks glancing over at me.

"I have a few quarters." I say popping open my clutch, "Will seven be enough?" I ask.

"I'm assuming it will." She finishes parking the car and grabbing the quarters out of my hand.

She got out of the car and slams the door so forcefully that it made the car sway back and forth.

"What's up her ass?" I mumble as I make my way out of the car.

I wait for Loey to finish paying the parking ticket and then we slowly make our way to the club, Loey slowing us down because of her enormous 8-inch heels.

We arrive at the club pretty fast, it only being a block away and we step in line. I tell myself to keep a smile on my face, 'This is for Loey, don't ruin her night.' I remind myself.

In no time we are at the front of the line, showing the bouncers our IDs and him telling us to be safe and enjoy our night.

As soon as we walk into the club, Loey grabs my hand and bolts for the bar. She orders drinks immediately, and then hands me something I've never seen in my life.

I look up at her with a questionable face, "Live a little! I promise you will absolutely love it!" she laughs. Only catching some of what she said, I change the subject and smirk, "Go find a boy to dance with."

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" she asks, sarcastically acting shocked.

"Of course not, I just want you to have fun."

"Vee, I'm going to have tons of fun! I'm here with you," she said wrapping her arm around me, "I already saw three cute boys when we walked in, plus this drink is a-mazing!" she exclaimed, taking a sip from her cup.

Before I could say anything Partition by Beyoncé came on and she jumped with joy, "We have to go dance!" she screamed, pulling me towards the dance floor. Before we make it there I come up with an excuse, "Loey, I really have to pee, um.. very badly, so I think I'll sit this one out and go find a bathroom."

She pouted, "No fun."

I stood there staring at her, waiting for her to let go of my hand.

"Well go to the bathroom, you said you had to pee real bad." she said, letting go of my hand.

"I'll be as quick as I can, I'll try to find you after." I mumbled.

She waved me off and I watched as she disappeared into the crowd.

"I guess I have to pee now." I muttered as I look around for a restroom sign. I spot one and decide that I don't want to bring my drink with me, so I leave it on a random table. I set it down hoping someone will take it or throw it out so I don't have to deal with it.

I walk towards the bathroom, finding that there's a line of about 15 girls, I sigh.

"At least it will keep me from having to dance with Loey for a while." I chuckle, stepping into line.

The two girls standing in front of me catch my eye as they take about 300 selfies, trashing each one after taking it, they claimed they looked 'too fat' in every photo. I scoffed and rolled my eyes, turning away.

I noticed a line right next to the one I was in. My eyes followed the line to where they were all going. 'The boys bathroom?' I raise an eyebrow, 'Since when is there a line to get into the mens room?' I thought, 'At least they get to feel our pain.' I laughed a little.

I looked directly across from me, noticing a guy with curly, shoulder length hair with tattoos wrapped around his arms. He glanced up from his phone making eye contact with me, and smiling. I smiled back at him quickly looking down at my feet feeling a little embarrassed for staring at him.

The line slowly moves forward, making me look back up and shuffle forward. I can see out of the corner of my eye that the man is still staring at me, making me smile and my cheeks heat up.

'Do I have something on my face?' I think glancing over at the man.

He's still staring. His smile gets bigger when he notices I'm staring back. Before either of us can make a move the guy in back of him taps his shoulder, motioning him to move forward with the line. The man looks at me one more time before rounding the corner and disappearing into the bathroom.

I turn to face forward, sighing, and my attention falls back on the drunk girls taking photos.

Ten minutes pass and I'm finally done with the bathroom. I look in the mirror one more time before exiting the restroom, 'I don't look great but I could look worse.' I think while pulling the skirt of my dress down. I turn and leave the bathroom dreading having to find Loey in the huge crowd out there.

I walk out of the hallway leading to the restrooms and into the main part of the club. I stand in place for a second looking around, deciding if I should head toward the dance floor and try to find her or just go sit in a corner away from everyone. Before I can decide, someone puts a hand on my shoulder, I turn to see the man from the bathroom line. I smile looking up at him, 'He looks ten times better up close.' I think.

"Hey." he smiled down at me, "I don't know if you remember me but we were staring at each other in line." he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck looking down at his feet.

I smiled, "Um, yes. I...I didn't mean to stare at you, I'm sorry."

He snapped his head up, confusion flooding his face, "I was staring at you more then you were staring at me." He laughed, "If someone should say sorry it should be me."

"Oh. Well um, I'm Venus but you can call me Vee." I said, fidgeting with my clutch.

He smiles down at me, "My name is Harry."

{ I absolutely hate this but I want to update the story. I do change tenses a couple times and there is probably a lot of grammar errors and maybe spelling errors and I do like using a lot of commas where they're not supposed to be used but despite all of that I hope you like it and please tell me if there are huge grammar errors or spelling errors so I can fix it.
Also I feel that this was really boring like just my writing was really boring but I don't know I feel bad that I didn't post anything for about three months on here but my friend reminded me about this story so I decided to write something. I would also like to point out that I wrote this pretty late at night and that's probably why it sucks so bad. Anyways, again, I hope you like the story!!}
(Also idk if the photo is actually harry but it looks like him, it's probably photoshopped but who cares lol)
