NARRATOR P.O.V :
"Angela you should go out with me and some of my old college friends tonight." Nicole said, trying to convince her sister to tag along.
"Nicky, now you know the club scene isn't really my thing" Angela said while trying to finish up the last of her paper work.
"Angie, You NEED to get the hell out the house for once! YOU'VE been divorced for 5 whole damn years now ! IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU MOVE ON!" Nicole shout-outed through the phone so loud. Angela moved the phone away from her ear.
"Me not wanting to go out has absolutely NOTHING to do with our DIVORCE!" Angela responsed with as much power she almost actually believed it herself.
"So give me one good reason as to why you won't come clubbing with me. If you say your sick or those damn cats of yours need you to be home... I'll come drag your stubborn ass to the club my damn self. Try me if you want to Angie!" Nicole dared.
Angela was stuck because she knew she had no real reason as to why she couldn't go clubbing with her sister. She had no choice but to accept her invitation.
"Nicole, I'll go even though I really don't want to." Angela said while rolling her eyes.
"I knew you would give in sooner or later. Well, either way you was coming." Nicole stated confidently.
"You do know I'M 10 years older than you are right?" Angela questioned.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever Sis" Nicole joked.
"Exactly. Nicky, what time should I start heading to your place?" Angela asked.
"Around eight, because we all agreed to met at the Dirty Martini Lounge around 9:30." Nicole explained.
"Okay, I'm locking up now so, I'll talk to you later."Angela responed.
"Alright, Later Gator ... and Put on the outfit I got you for your birthday."Nicole said right before she hung up.
Ten minutes later, Angela pulled up to the house she use to be happy returning to at the end of every day. Living there just hasn't felt the same since after the divorce. Walking in the house she was immediately greeted by her two cats Smurf and Juliet as they rubbed themselves on her legs. She greeted them back while stroking their heads. Once, she was done she made her bedroom where she checked her voicemails and prepared herself for a shower.
Ofcourse the realtor she hired not only to find her a new place but, to sell the house had failed horribly at doing both things. When, she finished showering she went into her huge walk in closet and found the outfit Nicole had bought her as a birthday gift. After, she finished getting dress she looked in the mirror and was really pleased with her overall appearance. She had on a red leather biker jacket, a black leather bustier, light blue high waisted skinny jeans and some red wedges with studs. She topped her outfit with a light blue denim clutch. Angela decided on placing a nice bun in her hair with her side bang out.
Shortly, after she was on her way to Nicole's condo. As soon as she arrived she saw Nicole coming out the building. When Nicole saw how the outfit looked on her big sister she was nothing but, glad she had listened to her. Nicole had it set in her mind that she would find her sister a date tonight. Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Dirty Martini Lounge. Not even looking in the direction of the line to the lounge Nicole walked towards the bouncers with Angela trailing behind her. Nicole said their names and the bouncers allowed them to enter the club with a look of the guest list.
Angela followed Nicole's lead to the V.i.p area where her friends were. Once they reached Nicole was greeted by a pretty and thick Hispanic girl who had to be around nicky's age.
"Angie this is Jessenia, my crazy Puerto Rican friend. Jessy this is my sister Angela"Nicole announced.
"Nice to meet you mamita. Can I call you Angie?" Jessenia asked.
"Yes, I rather everyone call me Angie anyway." Angela said.
"Okay Mami. Well, everybody else over there." Jessenia informed them while pointing in the direction of everyone else. Angela was introduced to everyone else. The twins Jamar and Jamal, Nicole's boyfriend Kendrick, Emily, and Mark.
Angela, Nicole, Emily and Jessenia was enjoying themselves on the dance floor. the men grew tired of watching the women dancing so they joined them. Kendrick started dancing with Nicole of course, Jamal had Emily, Jamar danced with Jessenia and Mark joined Angela. When Mark started spinning Angie around she was surprised at first but, shortly after she began enjoying herself. They all danced the night away literally because when they left the club it was damn near 5 in the morning. Everyone said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Thankfully, Nicole went with Kendrick because Angie was too tired to drive her home.
Two weeks later. Angela's eating her heated corn muffin and drinking her french vanilla flavored coffee in her favorite diner Mary's Cafe, while reading "White Lines" by Tracy Brown. She was so into the book she didn't notice Mark, Nicole's friend standing in front of her. Mark cleared his throat catching Angela's attention. When Angie looked up she was surprised to see Mark's sparkling blue eyes looking down at her.
"Hey Angel, is this seat taken?" Mark asked hoping it wasn't.
"No it's not. You can sit down." Angela responded putting away her book.
"Do you read other genres besides urban books?" Mark asked curiously.
"Yes, sometimes not all the time. It depends on how interesting the book is. Do you read often?"
"Yes, actually when ever I can in my spare time. Being a Realtor doesn't always give me a lot of time to myself."
"Your a realtor? Ha I just got rid of mine."
"If you want I can help you out I'll even give you a discount."
"Sure, that'll be great if you can sell my house and find me a nice condo."Angela said. They sat there talking for a good hour and a half but, Mark had to get back to the office.
"Well, here's my card so you can schedule an appointment. I should be free on Saturday around 1:30. Is that good for you?"
"Yes, that's good. I'm usually already home from the gym so, that'll be fine."
"Cool Cool. Maybe I can come to the gym with you one day."
"Yeah sure, only if you can keep up." Angie teased. While gathering her things together to leave.
"Trust and believe I can keep up Angel." Mark stated positively and winked.
"I'll call your office tomorrow. " Angela responded heading for the door. Mark hurried to open the door for her and walk her to her car. When they got to her car he pulled her into a hug.They hug the shared only lasted a few seconds but, it had both their bodies tingling.
