1.7 - clubbing with stef

I pick at my nails as I watch Dom prepare to serve. It's the next day, and Dom is the last match on my court before I'm done for the night. Work the last two days has been everything but exciting. Denis barely texted all day because he had a match which he won earlier, and I didn't want to disturb him either. He should be finishing his cool down soon to come join me though. And, Alex hasn't even reached out... at all. As if the night we spent together at Dom's meant absolutely nothing to him.

I wonder what I should wear to go clubbing tonight with them. I didn't expect to even go out to a fancy dinner the entire time I was here, so most of what I have is just work clothes. Maybe I can stop by a store on the way home if I have time. I look down at my phone and see it's nearing seven thirty. Dom's match was about halfway through. He lost the first set, but he's won the next two, so fingers crossed he can close this match. The score's already 4-2, so he's broke once. I wasn't meeting everyone else until ten or eleven, which is absolutely insane to me. Eleven is when I go to bed. I chuckle, reminiscing to University, when I went out almost every night and this was a normal to me.

My thoughts find their way to Denis. I wonder what he's doing tonight. I think. I wish I could invite him out with us, but Dom, Stef, Alex, and Andrey seem like such a tightknit group, I don't want to ruin that or create unnecessary drama.

My phone buzzes and I go to check it. It's a text from Denis.

Denis: finished PT, can meet u now? wya?

I decide to skip seeing Denis today. Dom just won another game, and I don't want to tell him that I'm clubbing tonight in all honesty because I can't invite him along.

Willa:): Go back and get rest! Dom's match is almost done, so there's no point in fighting a crowd to come over! I'll see you tomorrow?

Denis: u sure?? but im free tonight if u wanna hang?

Willa:): No it's all good! I think I have stuff to do for Mischa before I head back! Let's grab food tomorrow though? xx

Denis: ok! sounds good, should be free for an early dinner or late cuddle sesh tmr? text when u get back to ur room

I blush after thinking about the possibility of Denis and me in the same bed together, laying together in each other's arms.

Willa:): Ofc, see you then! Congratulations, again, on your win hot stuff!

Denis: nahhhh ur the cutie;)

I smile and as I put my phone away, I catch Dom serve the final point and his twelfth ace of the match. I jump onto my feet and cheer as loud as I can before remembering that I needed to rush out onto the court for his interview.

"Do you think this is cute, Mom?" I ask while I show my mother how I look in our facetime.

Luckily, with Dom's quick win, I was able to sprint to the Nordstrom by the hotel. After about twenty minutes of running around the large store, I found a pile of dresses and skirts to try on.

"Oh, Willa, I think that's the one!" My mother exclaims through the phone. I look at myself in the mirror. It's a dark teal color, with a low v-neck, and a very light accent of sequence. The dress is shorter than what I'm used to wearing, but because it's quite flowy, I decide that it works well with going out. Not too scandalous, but good enough to wear out and reuse for other events, too.
