There Is A Light

The After Party

I count dinner as my party and going out to the club as the after party. I have never been big on the whole party and clubbing scene but I also thought it wouldn't hurt if I did it once in a while. But once you hit a certain age, I think that you and your mind set change also. As of right now I'm still the same person. The only thing that sucks about being 20 is that I can't go to 21+ clubs and then some of the 18+ clubs aren't that worth the hype.

After finishing up dinner I sent a quick text to the girls letting them know I was done and that we might have company.

I look over at my brothers who were arguing on who was going to pay, I of course settle it by offering a piece of advice, "Well you know, one can pay here and the other could pay at the club, if that's what you guys want to do." Both of my brothers look at me and back at each other. They shrug and Cedrick settles the bill while Dom is stuck with the club bill.

My brothers and I walk out of The Cheesecake Factory and then Dom sighs loudly, "Are you sure you want us to come kiddo?" I'm nodding my head back and forth, this could be fun. It's their first night back so they should also celebrate.

We wait for 15 minutes outside when I see the familiar faces of my besties. I smile and see that they are all dressed up for tonight's adventure. "Look! They're here!!" Raven was wearing a killer red dress that made her brown hair look black, that's how red it was, but it was also dark out. She of coursed paired it with gold killer heels and smokey eye shadow. Nora wore a black and gold dress, her light ash blonde hair making it pop even more. She had on eyeliner and some false lashes. Wow she looks good! Peeking a look back to my brothers, Cedrick is smiling and already has his arms open, but Dominick has a wary look on his face. So i make my way over to him.

"Hey Dom?"

"Yeah?"

"You know I love you no matter what right?"

He smiled and I give him a smile back before I turn around and make my way to Cedrick and the girls. But I see Cedrick has them both in a bear hug squeezing them. I hear Ray call out to me, "Umm Lu can you help us?" I laugh and shoo Cedrick away to hug them. Soon after, Dominick stands behind me saying hi to Ray, then looking down at Nora he smiles, "Um h-hi Nora."

Nora smiles shyly at him and says hello back.

We soon make our way to Cedrick and Dom's car, I had a great idea. I turn around looking back to them, "ALL THOSE GOING IN CEDRICK'S CAR, NOSE!" Ray quickly put her finger on her nose after I did, and of course Cedrick did too. "Cedrick! It's your car you dope!" He laughs and I look over at Dom and Nora having a small convo, before I can say anything Ray yells,

"Alright Nora see you at the club, you're going with Dom. Okay byeeeee!" Ray quickly grabs my hand and Cedrick's, running to his car.

I hear Nora in the back, "Wait what?!"

I give her a wink then open the passenger door, hoping in Cedrick's car. He starts the car and coming out of the speakers was Alice Cooper. I smile and start to sing along, "I use to be such a sweet sweet thing til' they got a hold of me!"

After almost half an hour of traffic and another hour cruising around, we make it to Hollywood Blvd.  We decided to go to OHM Nightclub, it just so happened to be a 18+ night, and we try to figure out where to park. My phone rings and I see it's Dom, "How can I help you?"

He chuckles, "Listen little lady you and me have to talk, but I'm trying to find parking, where are you guys?"

"Hmm I'm not sure, Cedrick found a parking valet place on umm Highland."
