Besides, my plan was to only go out for a half an hour or so. Just drive around and maybe stop somewhere nice and get a drink.
This’ll be fun!
I hopped off of the bed and began digging through my suitcase for something to wear. I didn’t know for sure if I would even stop any place, but just in case I did, I wanted to look my best. I wasn’t single and I wasn’t looking to pick up a man, but I never liked going out looking like a total scrub.
All of my clothes were still packed haphazardly in the suitcase, from when Justin had thrown them in. Most everything was wrinkled and pretty much un-wearable.
“Damn,” I said, as I continued digging deeper, throwing clothes all around the room.
There was nothing in that suitcase that I thought would work, so I immediately opened my other suitcase, hoping that I would be able to find something. To my pleasant surprise, my favorite black dress was packed on top.
I grabbed it and held it up in the air, making sure it wasn’t wrinkled. It looked great and immediately a smile crossed my face.
I’ve never had a reason to wear this before.
I stripped off my jeans and shirt and then slipped on the dress. The soft material slid over my smooth skin with ease and I stepped in front of the mirror that was hung on the back of the door to check myself out.
“Wow,” I said, admiring it.
Justin had given the dress to me as an anniversary gift two years prior, but I had never had an occasion to wear it.
When I turned to the side, I noticed that it fell just below my butt. It was much shorter than something I would normally wear, but I didn’t mind. It’s not like anybody in California knew who I was and would judge me for it.
I turned back to face the mirror and then adjusted the dress over my boobs. The material was thick enough so that I didn’t need to wear a bra to cover my perky nipples.
“Just one more thing,” I said, as I reached into my purse.
I pulled out my red lipstick and leaned in close to the mirror, applying it to my voluptuous lips. Then I gave myself a smile and a flirtatious wink. I felt so dressed up and confident. It was a nice change compared to how I had felt the previous couple of days.
This is going to be so much fun!
After a quick spray of perfume on my chest, I grabbed my purse and then headed out the front door. As quietly as I could, I closed the door behind me and tiptoed down the walkway toward my car. It felt like I was sneaking out of my parent’s house, which was funny, because I was a grown woman. I just didn’t want to wake my sister and have to argue with her about how dangerous it was driving around an unfamiliar town by myself.
I hopped in the car and turned the ignition. Then I slowly pulled away from the house and out of the neighborhood.
“Okay...” I said. “Where should I go?”
When I got to the highway, I had two choices. I could drive north, toward Las Angeles, or I could go south and find some local area where maybe I could get a drink and dance for a while.
Being that I didn’t want to be out all night and I figured that Janette would probably want to show me around Las Angeles some time during my stay, I decided to go south and find a local place to get a quick drink.
I had no idea how that one simple decision was going to change my life forever.
Chapter 6
––––––––
W ith my sister’s neighborhood miles behind me, I finally decided to try an exit off of the highway. The area nearby had some lights coming from the buildings and I figured that there had to be a bar or a club or something where I could get a drink and maybe meet some locals.
As I turned off of the highway and onto the main street, I realized that I had pulled into a tiny little town all its own. There were buildings on either side of the street, but nothing taller than two stories. The area looked a little bit run down and unmaintained, but I didn’t let that scare me. I was a small-town girl and I was used to places that
