The galleria

Esmeralda's P.O.V

Over the next three weeks, the girls and I had hung out. It was fun having friends to go out with. Almost every other day we'd meet and go out, even on the day's we had to work, we would get off and chill together afterwards. It was refreshing for me. Most days we would get to Loren's place and just talk over a bottle of wine or two, when we were really deep into the conversation we'd open the hard liquor, like today.

I pick up my glass, laughing hard as I try to hold my glass steady. Connie was currently teaching lore how to twerk, I'd started calling her that since we got closer over the weeks. After she'd gotten the hang of it, they started to play music, going wild.

Connie was on the on the wall upside down twerking while, Loren was on the couch. Con fell making my laugh, then lore stumbled before falling sideways on the couch. We'd all been laughing hard, especially me. Everything that i seen had made me die of laughter, I'd been clutching my side trying to catch my breath, my wine glass on the table. After a while we all managed to catch out breath, as con and lore claimed their seats. I pour myself another glass leaning back in my seat. "But yeah, I think we should go somewhere different this time." Connie suggested. When we go out, we usually go pamper ourselves, and eat out. But I wanted to do something else too, I was getting tired of the same thing, so I agreed.

We nodded, agreeing with her."but where?" I questioned. We all paused thinking silently. A few seconds passed and then Loren spoke. "Well there's this art show at the galleria tomorrow." She paused taking a sip of her drink before continuing. " They serve wine as you walk around looking at art, it's pretty interesting, the peices usually look amazing." She suggested. I nodded my head slowly liking the sound of the idea. Personally I liked to party and go clubbing but I enjoyed calmer activities more. "That's fine with me, it sounds interesting." I said looking at connie. "What about you?" She shrugged. "Well it sounds pretty nice, I'll go." Lore stood from her seat grabbing something before sitting down again. "Perfect, hmm maybe you'll even find your Mr Right there." Lore looked at me wiggling her eyebrows. I laughed before replying. "Yeah right, a Mr Right? I doubt it. The only thing I might find there is good dick, if that." They laughed. "Well it would do you some good, you haven't had any in four years, I know that kitty tight." Loren said winking at me. I made a face trying not to spit my drink out. "You are wild." I shook my head. "So! You know I'm right." Our laughing was soon interrupted by DeAngelo.

"Loren have you seen my cuff links?" He asked. "No I haven't, Angelo try looking in your office." She replied not bothering to look at him. I look behind me, knowing that's where he was. He was shirtless like always. Being in their home alot, almost every time I ran into him he'd been shirtless. And I couldn't help but drool. "Okay, and keep it down, I can hear you all the way from my office and I can feel a headache coming on from how loud you all are being." He'd spoke, a hint of annoyance in his voice, leaving us to ourselves. I rolled my eyes, turning around to face forward again.

'Hes such an ass' I thought to myself shaking my head. Every time he'd spoken to us he would be so rude. 'well I didn't do anything to him. So he can shut the hell up'. I waited until he was out of the room to speak. "Sorry lore but he's an ass." ,"Sorry It's not his fault he's like that." She said with an apologetic smile. My eyebrows farrowed. 'What?' I was confused at the statement. Before Connie or I begin to question her statement she stood up abruptly, rubbing her hands together. "Oh! Well look at that. It's so late! I think you ladies should head home now. I have somethings I need to get done early in the morning tomorrow." She spoke, i looked at the time as well. It was pretty late, and we all had things to do the next day. Connie and I stood up making our way to the door. We hugged Loren before waving good bye to each other. We got in our cars and went home. During the drive I thought about Loren's sudden change in mood and questioned why she'd rushed to make us leave, so I made sure about it next time I see her, I'll ask what it was about.
