Girls Night Out
(Chapter 3) By TT
A whole month had passed and Elle was still getting the cold shoulder from Dante. Her phone buzzed, Elle fell back on the bed and sighed, she knew it was her sister Bobbi they'd been texting each other all day. Elle read the text, we need a girls night sis! Elle laughed and responded, I definitely need a girls night! Bobbi was 2 years older than Elle and they were really close. They loved talking to each other because they had a bond only they understood. Elle text Bobbi again, I will call you tomorrow to discuss details sis, I'm sleepy. Love ya! Elle flipped her phone to silent and headed for the shower. Elle was so confused about Dante and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get their first date off of her mind. After her shower and a glass of wine, Elle sat at her computer to type an email to Dante. "Maybe i should just curse him out and be done", Elle sighed again knowing that wouldn't help. "I give up" she said after staring at the computer screen for five minutes. Elle stood up as if she was feeling like a new woman. " Hell yea I am going to have girls night!" She said while heading to her closet.
Bobbi was headed out for her morning walk, she likes to workout, eat healthy and take care of the earth. Bobbi started her morning stretch when she noticed her friend Alaina walking up. "Good morning Ms. Bobbi, blessed to see another day!" Alaina and Bobbi walked together most mornings. Bobbi enjoyed Alaina's company and Alaina enjoyed having someone to talk to, their friendship worked for both of them and they'd been friends for almost 15 years. Bobbi kneeled down to stretch and Alaina exclaimed "Girl, why after 3 months of begging to go out with me this man gonna say he not ready for anything serious right now?" Bobbi laughed, "Who Roy?" Alaina gave her a blank stare, "Girl yes!, Who else?" Bobbi tilted her head sideways, "I told you not to give Roy none" then she laughed again. Alaina began stretching too. "I don't understand Bobbi, why get me then push me away, men are retarded!" She stood up grabbing her foot. Bobbi started running in place, "You ready?" Alaina nodded. They ran through the park discussing Roy and men in general. Alaina asked, "How is Elle?" as they came to their 2 mile mark. Bobbi turned and said, "Oh yea! We are having a girls night out this weekend, you should come." Alaina smiled, " I definitely need a girls night!" Bobbi laughed, "I guess we all do!"
Bobbi and Elle were always called twins growing up because they looked just alike. Bobbi was shorter than Elle but they had the same complexion and eyes. Bobbi kept her hair shaved off as an adult but when they were kids Bobbi and Elle both had long curly hair. Elle called Bobbi later that morning to discuss the weekend. "Are you coming here sis?" Elle asked as soon as Bobbi answered. "Yes i will be there Saturday morning, I will leave Monday morning. Does that work ?" Bobbi asked. "Yes, I heard about this VIP Lounge we can go to, my Co-Worker knows the DJ", Elle sounded excited. "I don't know Elle, last time we went out thinking we were gonna get hooked up we didn't" Bobbi sighed. "Look I promise we will have a great time, we will have our own section, bottles, and access to the DJ booth!" Elle exclaimed. "Then we can do whatever you want to do Sunday!" Elle tried to sound compromising. "Ok sis" Bobbi smiled, "Lets turn up!... I do have one condition though, can Alaina come?" Elle looked at the phone with a smirk "this girl is a trip" she mumbled away from the phone. "You know Alaina is extra Bobbi, make sure she can handle herself, but that's your friend sis!" Elle thought about Alaina's loud voice and how annoying she was when they used to get drunk and go out in college. "Is she still loud?" Bobbi busted out laughing, "Leave my friend alone, she has toned down a bit" Elle smirked at the phone again and laughed. "Well ok let's turn up then! See y'all on Saturday morning. I'll make Brunch!" Elle was excited and ready to put Dante out of her mind.
Elle woke up early Saturday morning and begin cleaning the house. Elle was excited that her big sister was coming to see her. After Elle was done cleaning she grabbed her purse to run out to the grocery store. "We need some snacks and I need some groceries", Elle said to herself while making a list. Elle pulled into the parking lot of the store excited about her weekend. It was early so the store was pretty empty except for a few old people and the people who worked in the store. Elle grabbed everything she needed and headed to self-checkout. "Your hair is so pretty", she heard a woman's voice behind her. She turned around to see who was complementing her and noticed the little boy hugging the woman's thigh. She smiled and said, "Thank you, You're son is so cute." The little boy smiled and Elle smiled back. "What products do you use?" The Curvy lady asked her. "I use a little bit of everything if it smells good Elle smiled again." They both laughed. Elle walked up to the counter and begin checking out her groceries. The little boy walked up behind her finally letting go of the woman's leg and smiled, "You're pretty!" he started laughing and then went back to where his mom was standing. Elle laughed at his child-like demeanor. "He is just too cute!" She exclaimed. "Well he gets that from me and just a little from his daddy", the curvy woman joked. Elle finished scanning her groceries and her and the curvy lady had small talk about grocery prices and "self" checkout. They both walked out together still having small talk and laughing like old friends. "Hey, I am having a girls night tonight, we are going to the VIP lounge have you heard of that?" "I have, but I have never been", the curvy lady explained. "Well you are welcome to come join us tonight..", Elle stopped mid-sentence. "Wait, I'm so sorry, duh you have your son!" The Curvy lady laughed. "I can leave him with my mom or his dad no worries, what's your name and contact info, I'd love to go out, It's been so long." Elle smiled and told her what her name was while putting her info in the curvy lady's phone. "We will probably get there about 10pm, text me when you make it and you can sit in our section." Elle waved goodbye. "See you later, nice meeting you!" the curvy lady waved good bye as well.
Elle pulled up in her parking lot and started taking things in the house when she heard a horn beeping. "Hey baby sis!" Bobbi exclaimed from her Truck in the parking lot. "You are so ratchet!" Elle said sarcastically. Bobbi turned the music up. It was the melodic sounds of Lil John and the Eastside boys. Elle began dancing in the parking lot while Bobbi hyped her up and then they both laughed hugging each other. They were both happy to see each other. "Girls weekend!" Alaina yelled behind them. "See, I can't" Elle mumbled. "Stop", Bobbi said laughing and asking what's to eat. They got all settled in and started planning for their weekend. "What's for brunch?" Alaina asked. "I don't know yet", Elle started scratching her hair. "Maybe some banana pancakes, eggs, and turkey bacon." "Mmmmm, that sounds good Bobbie exclaimed from Elle's room. "What are you doing in my room?" Bobbi peeked her head out, "being nosey, is there a problem?" Elle laughed at her. "Well I need a mani/pedi and we need some girl talk ladies cause I thought I found the one last month!" Elle sighed. "It's gonna be alright girl" Alaina added. Elle smiled at Alaina, "So how's your love life?" Alaina sighed, "Girl what love life?" they both laughed. Elle looked at Alaina again realizing how much she had matured over the last 5 years. "It's good to see you, I'm glad you came." She said sincerely. Alaina got up and grabbed Elle for a hug, Elle was surprised. "I love you!" She said while squeezing Elle. Elle squeezed back, "Ok girl, don't kill me now". They both laughed. Bobbi came out of Elle's room holding her newest sex toy. "Awe look at my girls." Elle screamed and ran towards Bobbi, "Give it back now, that's brand new!" Bobbi laughed falling on the couch. "Damn, sis it's that bad out here" they all laughed. Elle went back into her room to put it away. "Dang Bobbi stop going through my stuff, you always do that and I have never liked it." She said with a serious face. Elle walked into the bathroom and closed the door dramatically. Alaina and Bobbi laughed again. "I'm sorry sis, I was just playing!" Bobbi tried to sound sympathetic. Elle walked back out into the living room smiling, "I accept your apology." Bobbi frowned and smirked at Elle. "See y'all be doing too much!" Alaina exclaimed. "I'm ready to go to the nail shop!" "Shut up Alaina, we going girl!" Bobbi said as she and Elle started grabbing their things. They all jumped in Bobbi's truck and headed to the nail shop.
It was 9pm time to get dressed for the club and clothes, shoes, and hair was everywhere. "See, she messed up my nails, I wanted them shorter!" Alaina complained. "Girl come help me with these lashes", Bobbi said to Alaina from the bathroom. "You almost dressed?" Elle yelled while putting her heels on in the bedroom. "Yes!" Alaina said while putting on Bobbi's lashes. "We about to turn up, girl Dante aint shit!" Alaina exclaimed. Elle and Bobbi started laughing, Alaina was feeling her pre-club drinks and they could tell! "I know right, how he gonna ghost me after acting like our first date was the shit!" Elle exclaimed. "Girl you never know what that man got going on." Bobbi was always the voice of reason. Elle picked up her phone, she went to Dante's contact info and pushed delete. "Ok y'all he's dead now, R.I.P!" Elle said tossing her phone onto the bed. "I need another shot!" They all took another shot and called their Lyft to the club. "Oh we lit tonight" Alaina started laughing. She loved to see Elle tipsy. She always thought Elle was a little stuck up but when she was tipsy they had fun. "Oh, I invited my homegirl to the club, she cute! Her son was so adorable!" Elle told them on the way to the club. "What homegirl?" Bobbi asked. "I met her today she seemed like a cool girl." Elle said while feeling her drinks kick in. "What's her name?" Alaina asked. "Girl ... I.D.K" Elle said realizing she never asked. "I forgot to ask her, but I told her mine!" Elle started laughing and dancing in the seat. The Lyft driver turned the music up. They all danced and laughed until they pulled up to the club. "Girl look at that line, your friend better get us in!" Bobbi was skeptical. "C'mon sis! Let's party!" Elle loved to dance.
Elle walked right up to the door and showed him the text in her phone. "How many?" The Door man asked Elle. "Three right now and maybe one more later." He allowed them in. They walked in and it was empty except for a few people, but they were early. The music was bumping and Elle exclaimed, "Lets go to the bar!" Bobbi looked at her sideways. She had never seen Elle drink so much. "Slow down, I don't want to carry you out later!" She said trailing behind Elle to the bar. They made their way to the DJ booth as more people came in and sat at a small table with two chairs. "Um, I thought we had a booth?"Alaina said looking at the small table. Elle's phone started to buzz, she read the text, Elle I'm here, I'm at the bar getting a drink, where are you? Elle didn't recognize the number and she'd had one too many drinks, "Who the hell is stalking me?" She showed Bobbi the text. Bobbi laughed, "That's your homegirl crazy" Bobbi took the phone. Hey homegirl we by the DJ booth, Elle has on a red dress! Bobbi handed Elle the phone back. "She is coming over now!" Elle nodded her head and then her song came on, Independent by Webbie. She started dancing and having a good time. Elle felt like she was finally getting over Dante. She spotted her curvy homegirl from the grocery store. "Heyyyy!" Elle waved while still dancing, she pointed at the small table where they were sitting. "There's my little table girl, they did me wrong but I am having fun! I'm glad you came! You look cute!" She said really fast. Her new homegirl smiled realizing she'd had a few drinks. "This is nice, I like it." Her homegirl said while looking around and sipping her drink. She was happy to be out on a Saturday night, she knew it was a much needed mommy break. They all danced and had fun together. Elle introduced everyone and they all took turns sitting down until they were ready to go. "I gotta get outta here it's too many people now!" Bobbi exclaimed at 1am. "I know girl, some guy grabbed my butt twice, talking about oh excuse me!" Alaina said in an exhausted tone. "I have definitely exhausted myself." Elle laughed. "Let's get out of here ladies." Her new homegirl said seeming tired as well.
They all gathered their things and headed for the door when her new homegirl stopped, "OMG, hey Rob!" she said to a tall smooth dark skin man standing by the door. "Hey Kiera!" he said reaching out for a hug, she hugged him. "Its good to see you, you look great!" Kiera said remembering him looking different in high school, but now he was cut and dressed nice. "How you been?," He said looking at Kiera's curvy figure. "Great, I just stepped out with some friends, It's been years since I've seen a club." Kiera and Robert laughed. "Well we are headed out, good seeing you." Kiera tried to keep it short so she wasn't rude to her new friends. "Ok, keep in touch, hit me on SnapGram, RobertWorksOut." Robert leaned in and whispered to Kiera. "Ok I will do that." Kiera said walking away. "Girl he is fine!" Elle said as they began walking away, still feeling her drinks. "I know, he didn't look that good in high school." Kiera said while holding the door. They all walked out laughing and talking. "Well I drove here.", Kiera said heading towards the parking lot, I can drive everyone home. "No girl we don't want to put you out of your way, we can Lyft, but thanks for coming out we had so much fun!" Elle hugged Kiera. "I enjoyed y'all too!" She said as she began walking to her car. "Be careful!..." Elle said realizing she still didn't know her name. "I am horrible, Whats your name?, I need to lock you in!" Elle said waving her phone. Kiera put her info in Elle's phone. "I'm Kiera" she smiled as she handed Elle back her phone. Elle waved bye as they both walked their separate ways. "What was her name?" Bobbi said as they got into their Lyft. "Kiera" Elle said. "That's My new homegirl!" They all laughed. Their Lyft driver drove them home.
