Give Me Life

Part 33

*Amelia's point of view*

'Seriously just come out for a few drinks...it'll be nice...' Rochelle laughed down the phone

'Roch I don't know you know...I haven't been out since....' I stuttered 'since last time I went out with Ast...I don't know whether I want to go...'

'Oh come on...it'll do you good...we can have a proper girly chat...I want you to tell me all about Africa...'

'Well...I suppose if it's just for a few...' I said nearly convinced. I suppose if it was just the two of us it would be nice...have some time to catch up. I hadn't got dressed up for anything since the split and maybe it'd do me good to get out...

'So your in?...' she stuttered

'Yes...im in' I smiled to myself

'Ok..but where something nice...'

'Yeah that goes without saying...but why?'

'Um...just want some pictures of us that's all...' she said before ending the call and rushing off back to work

'Ok'

*Sometime later*

'You look amazing...!' Rochelle beamed as I opened my front door

'Thanks...I haven't been shopping for a while so had to put this on...' I smiled

'Have you lost weight though?'

'I don't know...maybe...why?'

'Because you were way too skinny anyway....seriously...don't loose anymore...'

'Ok...' I sighed, come to think of it, my appetite had seriously decreased since the split

We spent about an hour getting ready before the cab arrived to take us to the bar for some drinks; Rochelle was definitely up to something...she was acting weird, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was that she was doing...

....................................................

I'd been sitting in the bar with Rochelle for some time now, just sipping on cocktails and having a girly catch up. She really did care about me, I could tell that just from the way she treated me, and it made me feel good to know I still had friends that I'd made from Ast even though we weren't together.

'You fancy venturing out somewhere?..' she said suddenly turning to face me from her bar stool

'Uh....yeah...ok...what were you thinking?'

'I have a surprise...' she gleamed at me 'come on...lets

go...' she giggled taking my hand and pulling me out of the bar we were in

'Roch where are we going?' I laughed following her down the street a bit before she got into a cab and I followed

'23 Berkeley street please.....' she said to the taxi driver

'But that's not a club?...thats a venue....Roch whats going on?'

'Just trust me on this yeah...'

'Fine...' I sighed; she really did have me baffled, I didn't have a clue where we were going or what we were going to do, I just had to go along with it.

As the taxi pulled to a halt at the designated address in mayfair, I followed Rochelle out of the cab and straight into the building where I saw a crowd of a few hundred people gathering around what looked like a stage; that's when I heard his voice....thats when our eyes met once again...I should have guessed she would have brought me here...
