Finding Love

chapter 5; Girls Night

Today, Gemma and I are going out for a Girls Night! I'm super excited. There's some club near by us, so we're gonna go tonight.

This morning I'm spending the day with my family before going out with Gemma. We're all just spending a family day at home.

It was boring, but also nice. I've missed my family a lot, so it was nice spending the day with them. I missed having my siblings to make fun of and my mom telling us to do the dishes.

Anyways, we found a small club near my home, so we're going there. I'm getting ready right now in a light blue romper with brown heels and I straighten my hair.

Gemma texts me that she's outside, so I rush out the door to go meet here.
"Hey Gems" I say when I get in the car.
"Hey girl. Damn you look good" she tells me.
"Well thank you so do you" I tell her when I see her wearing a black dress and black heels.

We get to the club and park the car. We walk through, after showing our ID, and go straight to the bar.
"You want a beer?" I ask her.
"Sure" she shrugs "I thought you liked some drink on the rocks".
"I do, I just wanted a beer though" i tell her.

We get our drinks and dance together on the dance floor. We're having such a good time and we're laughing when Gemma wants another drink.
"I'll get it!" I yell over the music to her. She laughs and continues to dance.
"Can I get a beer?" I ask the bartender he nods and I wait.

"Emma?" I hear an all to familiar voice call.
"Patrick?" I ask and turn around to see him standing next to me. "Oh my gosh how have you been?" I yell giving him a hug.
"Babe you know I've been good!" I laugh with him and we continue talking some more. I invite him to come dance remembering I have to bring this drink to Gemma. I find Gemma dancing still and I give her the drink. I introduce her to Patrick and they hit it off.

I've learned he is also a writer who now lives in London. I feel like a proud mother. He used to get made fun of because he was gay and liked to write. I met him in English and we were paired for a project together and hit it off right away.

After talking some more, we decide it's time to leave. I've only had one beer, so I'm driving tonight. I say goodbye to Patrick, telling him we'll get together again soon.

I drive home and let Gemma spend the night with me. Her and I sleep in my bed together and fall asleep right away.

***The Next Day***

I wake up at 9am and see that Gemma is still asleep. I get out of bed and tiptoe to the door while grabbing my phone.

I get downstairs and unlock my phone. Oo I got a text from my best friend Alex.
'Call me I miss you !!'
I call her straight away. It rings three times before she picks up.
"Oh my gosh Emma!" she yells in the phone.
"Hey babe! I miss you" I tell her.
"I miss you too! So look I know you come back in about 5 days, but my grandparents invited me to LA soon after, so do you wanna come with me?"
"Oh my gosh yeah! That sounds fun. But I don't really have the money for another trip" I tell her honestly.
"I knew you'd say that, so think of this as your birthday present from me to you so I'll pay for it and we'll stay at my grandparents house"
"Oh my gosh Alex ! I can't accept that".
"Yes you can! It's a birthday present. You'll just get me a great birthday present" she says laughing.
"Okay babe thank you! I'll see you when I'm back" I tell her.
We say our goodbyes and hang up.

I go and make Gemma and I toast with some jelly. She comes down and we chill at the house for the day.
