Lust and Love

😜24 - Drunk in Love

Loud music and dancing people fills the entire area. Leah and I have been here for a couple of times. The good thing about here is that, the Hollywood people don't crowd at me as much as in LA or other places. They're just used to seeing famous faces here. I mean sure, they'll still ask for an autograph, picture or a hug but not to the point they're almost harass and attack you. And the bartenders here already knew what I drink. But to be honest, I don't really drink much. I don't believe alcohol will solve problems. But in my case tonight, I think it's not too bad to have fun.

It's 7:15 and I know I'm late. But looking at our favorite spot, Leah is not yet around. Sigh. No one likes waiting and especially when your alone.

Just as I sit on a vacant stool, the bartender named Joey comes to me.

"What's up JLo! It's you again. And this time you're..alone?"

"Hi Joey! And nope. Leah's gonna come." I say casually.

"Leah often comes here lately. She's with a guy. Probably her boyfriend." He says while mixing drinks. "I'm sure he looks so familiar I just don't know where I saw him first."

"That skinhead? Of course. He is my ex." But of course I didn't say that out loud. I only imagined it haha.

"Same drink, Jenny?"

"Yes please," I say clasping my hands together.

While he goes to get my drink, a woman sits on the stool next to me and lays her hand on my arm.

"Hey Jennifer Lopez! So good to see you here!"

"Oh, hi!" Do I know her?

"I've seen one of your Vegas shows and me and my husband love it so much. We were at the VIP! We decided to watch you again by June. And we are so excited!" the woman, probably mid 30s, says.

"Awwe thanks sweetie."

"You are so gorgeous and amazing as always!"

"Thank you so much. You look beautiful too." I compliment back.

"Nice meeting you here! I gotta go!"

I'm just in all smiles until she leaves. That's when a few more people started to ask photos with me, which, I granted.

I already told Alex I'm having a night out with Leah anyway so I don't have to hide anything. When my drink came, I sip it all the way to the bottom. I ask for another one and impatiently wait for Leah.

I was just looking at the dancing crowd. I guess I've spotted Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan dancing there. It's already eight and still no Leah showed up and I've already had three shots of Beluga.

Suddenly she texts me, she can't come due to some important matters and she apologizes.

"Fuck Leah! Really fuck you." I curse out, no one's paying attention anyway.

How could she just do that to me? What's wrong with her? What's up with her these days? Or could it be..

No! What if Beau was the one again who's using her phone? And he's all behind this set up? Puta. No. I try looking around the club even if you can't easily make out people's faces because of the dim and colorful lights, but I'm sure I could easily recognize that skinhead.

I don't see any sign of him nor his shadow. Good. He's such a nightmare.

"One more?" Joey approaches.

"Kay, sure." He pours another shot of the tequila. Beluga is somewhat similar to Mojitos. But I like it better. I don't easily get drunk. But I'm sure if I'll do a fifth shot of this, I'll start to feel dizzy already so this is probably would be my last one.
