The Dark Angel Will Never Let Her Go

After getting out of the shower I trade places with Brooke. Dressing and applying my make up. Looking in the mirror after I'm done. I look amazing. Brooke was able to tame my hair making it look shiny and smooth. My make up highlighting my two different colored eyes. My outfit perfectly complimented my figure. I was dressed to kill.

"Girl, every neck tonight will break when you walk in." Josie said dramatically.

"Look at you though! You look good, very 'Kpop'. I love the Fila's."

I looked over at Brooke "You look stunning."

Brooke was wearing a crop top showing off her midriff. Black jeans and boots. She left her hair wild and teased it to give it volume.

"Damn Brooke, you look good, especially for someone who dresses like a nun." Josie teased.

"Let's go I wanna get food on the way." I said with my stomach growling.

We leave and head for food.

"I don't wanna eat anything to hardy and it come up in chunks later." Josie said.

"I don't know if I wanna get that drunk."

"Bitch, it's your motha fuckin birthday, you bet your sweet ass you're getting trashed with me." Josie said hooking my arm and Brooke's arm in hers taking the middle spot.

"We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz" we sang doing the skip from the musical. We always compared ourselves to the side characters. I was the Tin man, because I'm kind of unfazed by most things. Josie is the Scarecrow because she get's the lowest grades of us all. And Brooke is the lion, because she's the crybaby.

We stop and eat Italian for dinner, figured Alfredo wouldn't be too bad if it came back up later.

The little Italian place we ate was adorable, looked like a small ancient Roman city.

A server brings us menu's and takes our order.

"What drinks can I get you ladies." She asks.

"We'll take waters, we have a long night ahead of us." Josie answered for us.

"Okay, do you guys know what you want to order or need more time to look at the menu?" She asks.

"I'll have an Alfredo with extra mushrooms."

"I'll have the same but add chicken and no mushrooms." Josie said.

"I'll take the marinara ravioli." Brooke said quietly.

"You got it." She says and leaves to fetch our drinks. Moment's later she's back with our three waters.

Through the course of our meal we trynreally hard to hydrate. We finish our meal pretty quickly, Brooke paid for our dinner, and we leave for the bar.

Arriving at the bar, theres a lot of people outside standing and smoking cigarettes having their conversations at first oblivious to us as walk up. But once they did conversations ended quickly. Every stared as the three of us walk buy. I saw some people speak low as they look at us. More specifically me.

Guess I really was a knock out like Josie said.

Getting to the door a bouncer was there to greet us. Asking for our ID's made me so excited.

"21 today, well then congratulations and happy birthday! Get yourself a shot at the bar. First drink at a bar on us." The man said smiling. I was surprised by how pleasant he sounded, the way he dressed and carried himself definitely looked like he'd have a rougher tone.

Inside the bar was buzzing with activity and conversation from customers. Walking up to the bar, I notice all the different ages of people here, young and old alike.

Reaching the bar, immediately the bartender notices us and walks our way.

"Hello ladies, what can I get you tonight?" The bartender asked with a sexy velvety voice.

What was it with this town having so many beautiful people, it's weird.

"It's her 21st birthday today, bouncer told us you'd give her, her first legal shot at the bar on the house."

"Well Happy Birthday. I've got just the shot for you." He said before turning around and mixing a few alcohols and a juice or mixers of some kind. Turning back to face us the bartender passes the three of us our shots.

"This is called 'A Good Time' it's of my own my making, it's made with tequila, whiskey, strawberry margarita mix, and sour mix and strawberry Schnapps. Shaken with ice." The bartender said.

"Cheers to my girl for turning 21btoday! WOOOUUHHHH!" Josie yelled as we cheers and take our shot.

"Happy Birthday!" Many in the bar yelled to me putting their drinks in the air to join the cheers for me.

"You guys are a great crowd!" Josie yelled back. Brooke had sat down on a stool and ordered a drink for each of us.

"The tequila sunrise for you." Brooke says handing me a drink that was orange on top and pink on the bottom.

"A Long Island for our resident alcoholic for you." Broke hands Josie her drink.

"An apple crown whiskey on the rocks. For me."

"Let's go check out the bar, and find our table." Josie said "I had our patron secure us a table. Near the stage, but close to the games." Pointing to a gaming area.

There were people laying darts on a wall, gun shooting hunters mark game, and pool. There's a group of men playing pool and I notice them staring at us me specifically. Nodding in our direction. It was making me a little uncomfortable.

Then I saw someone whisper something to another man, his posture froze, his back was facing me and when he turned around and looked me right in the eyes. He was the most beautiful man I've ever seen, his long blonde hair pulled back in a bun with a few strands hanging loosely framing his face. His jaw line was strong and square, his lips soft and full, his eyes were silver, they were fixated on me peering into my soul instantly. It made me feel completely naked, the hair on my body stood up as static ran through me. My heart sped up only to stop short just to choke me. Putting a wrench in my beating heart. My breath caught in my throat. My body got hot and started to feel like it was catching fire. When he saw me the look on his face darkened like he was disappointed to see me.

Oddly it cause my heart to ache in a way I've never felt.

"Are you okay girl?" Josie asked.
