"You look really good Nicole!". Allie did a good job at picking out an outfit that I approve of. A pair of faux leather pants, a black deep v neck body suit with a blazer and a pair of high heels. "I love this outfit, thank you." I look at her. "Don't worry about it, lets find you a man eh?" as she wiggles her eyebrows. "I'm not sure if I'm ready for that but I want to apologize if I made it seem that this idea of going out to the new place is stupid. I am going to let loose tonight and enjoy it". Her eyes widens and grabs my shoulders "Where is my friend Nicole and what have you done with her!". We both start laughing uncontrollably. Allie went ahead and did my make up too. I hardly recognize myself, she truly has talent. 

Deciding to take my truck as it's four wheel drive, she climbs into the drivers seat. "How do you manage to operate this thing?" looking shocked. "What can I say, I like my truck. Want me to drive there?". Shaking her head no, she starts up the engine and off we go. Making small talk about this bar, we roll into the parking lot about 40 minutes later. 

It's a really nice place! I did not expect this from the bar being away from actual civilization. "This is going to be great!" Allie says. She is so excited and I love that, it helps me get in the mood for tonight. I really want to enjoy this. "Lets go inside eh?"  as I get out of the truck. "She opens the door and damn near breaks an ankle, "How do you stand having this lift kit?!?" as she looks at her heels. Shrugging my shoulders, I let her lead the way to the entrance. She knows I don't like walking first into anyplace if we are together, especially since I've never been here before. Giving myself a little pep talk, I hold my head up high and turn on the resting bitch face, cannot show fear nor weakness. 

Walking into the bar, quite a few people are already here. I'm really nervous and I notice out of the corner of my eye, we are getting a lot fo stares. Perfect! We make our way up to the bar. "What can I get you lovely ladies?" the bartender asks. Allie is already batting her eyelashes at him. Rolling my eyes, yep, another night of turning up my tv so I don't have to hear their romp session. "She'll have a vodka with pink lemonade and I'll have a bombshell barbie drink, Oh! and 4 fruit loop shots please!". "You got it sweetheart" with a wink. "Make that with a high shelf vodka please" I say to him. He knods, turns back around to make our drinks. "So what do you think?" Allie asks. "The place is really nice for being in the middle of nowhere and do you notice everyone is legit good looking?" I look at her. "I guess we fit right in" laughing. 

Grabbing our drinks, I pay for this round as allie will get the next. Heading to a table in the corner, perfect. Sit with my back to the wall. Settling in the chairs. The DJ, starts the music, dims the lights and turns up the theatrics. Wow, I can't help but feel excited. "This is incredible Allie", she looks at me "I told you it would be". There is a different feeling to this place, having the gift of sensing certain things, I was always told as a child that I was crazy and eventually put in a mental hospital at one point. I've learned to keep my mouth shut even though I know Allie doesn't judge. It's almost a magical feeling in a sense, shrugging my shoulders, I lift the first shot, we clink them together and throw them back. We do this with the next shot and start on our drinks. 

"Allie! Nicole!", turning our heads we see Megan walking up to our table "You guys made it!". "Yeah, it's pretty cool, thanks for letting us know about it" I respond. "Not many people know of this place but I figured you guys would appreciate it". She sits down at our table and we strike up a conversation about the hospital and little small talk. She mentions how we shouldn't hook up with any of the guys from here as they will just fuck us and leave us. Blunt, I like it. "I would warn allie more about that, I'm not into the dating scene much these days". Megan looks at me with almost an uncertainty in her eyes...didn't know people cared about my dating life that much. 

"I'll go get us more shots!" Allie jumps up and heads to the bar. "She sure is a fire cracker isn't she?" Megan tuns to me. "Absolutely, you gotta love her!" I say. "I know we don't know one another a lot but what's up with you?". I know she doesn't mean anything by it. "I just like keeping to myself, I'm not a people person you could say. ". She nods her head in understanding. She keeps looking at me though, I guess I can be quite the attention getter, shaking my head. 

"Holy shit girl!" Megan looks at the amount of shots Allie has in her hand.  Looking at her "So I'm guessing you aren't driving home tonight?" I say chuckling. She gives me a dirty look. I wink back. We take a few more shots, "I love this song!" Allie shouts, "Lets dance!". "I'm gonna go grab another drink and set out this time" I smile. Allie drags megan out to the dance floor. Heading up to the bar, "Another vodka and lemonade please", The bartender nods and says "What brings you ladies out here, a long way from home eh?". "Just trying something new" I respond. He stops making the drink and looks at me. Why are people so damn weird. He hands me my drink and I pay him "Keep the rest". Walking back to the table, I exhale, tonight is going pretty well. "Look who the cat dragged in"..Ahhhh, the sound of nails on chalkboard, turning around "Eliza" I nod. "What are you doing here" she pouts her lips. Looking at her, she is wearing a very tight tube top style dress with what looks like 6 inch stilettos. How do girls walk in those. I've had about enough of her shit. "I'm surprised they haven't taken the trash out yet" If looks could kill. "What did you say to me!" She shrieks. One thing, don't disrespect others and don't be an asshole. I stand up still taller than her and get close to her face, "I said, you are fucking trash" and sit back down. "How dare you call me that! Do you have any idea who I am?" She points her fake nail at me. "No and I do not give a fuck". UMPH! she walks away. 

Well....what the fuck is wrong with her. Looking around, everyone is starting at me as if I had a third arm. Grabbing my drink, I drink the rest.
