Soul Searching

Looking out my window, I decided to get up for the day. It's sunny outside, thankfully. I've had enough of snow. Living in Michigan has its upsides and downsides, but the winters here are absolutely breathtaking. As I get up, I check my phone, no messages, which is nothing new to me as I'm a loner. I grab my clothes and go shower. Letting the water hit me, I relax and take a deep breath. The hot water feels nice on my skin as I scub away. Finally getting out, I dry off and get dressed. Looking around, I chose a simple pink color eyeshadow to put on. It really makes my sea blue eyes pop. I continue putting on my makeup with winged eyeliner and a soft beige lipstick. Checking myself out in the mirror before putting my hair up, I contemplate how today's going to go. Thinking back on how my boyfriend Scott is away at the Larp festival, I try to figure out what to do with myself today. I grab my keys as I walk out of my house, unlocking my car, I plug in my car's auxiliary cord to my phone. I open up my music app and put on my favorite Korn song "Coming Undone." I roll my windows down, buckle up, and pull out of my driveway. I make my descent into town to my best friend Whit's house. As I pull into Whit's driveway, I see someone who I thought looked like someone I grew up with but ended up shaking my head and going inside. "B***h I'm home!" I holler out to Whit's empty living room. She comes running out of her room. "HI babes!" She hugs me tightly and kisses my cheek. "What are you up to, babes?" "I thought I'd come see my baby girl since Scott is out of town. I don't have work for the next three days, " I told Whit. "Ooh, do you wanna go to the bar later on? Zane is bouncing tonight!" asks Whit. Her boyfriend Zane is the bouncer at the bar we like to go to. I smile at Whit and say, "I'm down." Later that night: After getting ready and curling my hair, Whit looks me over and nods in approval at her handy work. I'm in my black skinny jeans, my black leather knee-high boots, a harley quinn jersey, and my black bomber jacket. While getting ready, it felt like Whit put so much makeup on me, but looking in the mirror with my bright red lips, my smokey eyes, and my eyeliner, I look so f*****g hot! I smile at Whit after she nods at me, and out the door we go. Zane ordered a cab for us even though the bar is only a few blocks away. When we reach the bar, we get out and tip the driver as he slips Whit his number. She looks down and shakes her head, and throws it away. We make our way to the door and are met by Zane, who smiles ear to ear at Whit. "Glad you two made it safely, it's packed tonight like it normally is on Friday. Also baby you look lovely as ever!" Zane says. Whit smiles back at him and thanks him with a kiss as we head inside. Zane wasn't kidding when he said the place was packed. We make our way up to the bar and order our drinks. Whit gets her usual, a lizard piss, and I get a southern bondage. Looking around, we find a spot to sit down. After a few drinks, we decided to go out on the dance floor as the song Wap comes on. There are so many eyes on us as we grind against each other and show them our dance moves. We stay out on the dance floor for five songs, as the fifth ended my body is starting to hurt, I tell Whit that I'm going out back for a smoke and she nods and goes by Zane who is keeping an eye on everyone. I exit out the back door and go sit on the steps as I light up my smoke. More people exit out the back door, as I'm sitting there. Three more people exit out the back door to come outside as I'm putting out my smoke and throw it in the bucket. Looking up at the moon I smile to myself as it looks absolutely stunning tonight. the clouds aren't touching it and it looks majestic. Turning on my heels I turn to go back inside. That's when I saw him. God, it's been eight years since I've seen him, before he left for college, James. He looked over at me with those wide Hazel eyes as if he had seen a ghost. "Little Rose? Is that really you?" James asks. I smile at him, "It's good to see you James!"
