(Dangerously in Love: Ch2)
It was now 8:00 p.m. Sophia had straightened her hair, combed it out and crumpled the parts that were highlighted. She had what she called ‘put her face on’ light black eyeliner and somewhat heavy purple eye shadow blended with gray and black.
“Hey Colette. What should I wear?”
“Well seeing that you already did your hair. Genius. You need a button shirt,” her friend suggested.
“Gee thanks. But that’s a good idea. Lets see if I could find one. How about bottom wear? Feet?!”
“Dude. You never have trouble with that you wear. Stop freakn out”
“Fine”
So she went into her closet. She picked out a low cut deep purple four-button shirt. She also picked out a dark denim skirt, which was dangerously above her knees. She never cared about footwear so she went with her black chucks.
“Okay you’ve got to be kidding me right?”
“What?”
“The shoes? I mean you look good. Don’t forget the belly button ring thing. And I don’t like the shirt. Wait,” her friend told her. She came back with a black shirt
“This is nicer. It’s a cross front”
“Thanks. Okay. I’ve got everything else and my bag”
“Wait,” called out her friend. “The shoes. What you thought you would get away?”
“Agh. You know I like to be comfortable. Fine I’ll wear my adidas”
“Like that’s any better!”
“Fine. I’ll wear those cute black flats with the small bow at the front. Yes?”
“Yes much better. Hurry it’s already 8:50!”
“Well it’s your fault!”
She ran out there with shoes in hand. She started up her car and drove off.
“Another suckish day,” she sighed putting on her shoes and got off.
“Hey Ethan. Looks like it’s going to be a busy night”
Ethan was her boss at this club. He was almost as good-looking as Alex, but not really interesting. I guess that’s why Sophia wasn’t too into him.
“Yeah we are. I think we have a few turning 21 today,” he said this with a heavy tone. This usually meant a lot of work. Especially in the restrooms and the dance floors.
“Alright then. I’ll see ya around,” she called out.
“Okay,” he waved.
This wasn’t her favorite place to work. She was usually being harassed. She handled herself quite well, but would rather not deal with it.
“What can I get for you handsome?,”
“Well something for my girlfriend sweetheart. She wants a margarita,” the customer said it rather boringly.
“Okay,” Sophia said it half laughing.
It was now 1:30 according to her cell phone.
“No one interesting yet,” she said quietly to herself.
“Excuse me miss,” came a soft voice.
“Yes? What can I get for you love?,” she said with out noticing who she was helping.
Her customer was taken aback of how she could use the word so lightly.
“Um yes. Get me what ever you like miss,” he said
Now she was taken back. She hadn’t noticed it was a very attractive young man and he kept calling her miss. ‘Usually never calls me miss. Odd’
“Sure” she got him a dark drink with syrup.
“Cherry coke?,” he smiled
“Hey it’s not that generic stuff. And I drink it here all the time. I can’t afford to the slightest buzz”
“No, no you can’t”
They smiled and stared at each other for a split second. Finally it dawned on her. ‘OMG. It’s Apolo Ohno. It’s the freakn speed skater. Jesus Christ!’
“I’m sorry. I hadn’t recognized you. But I’m pretty sure I know who you are,” she couldn’t help but grin.
“Yeah I don’t blame you these lights don’t help much. Well you know me, but I don’t seem to know you”, he asked her while sipping his drink.
“Well I’m a bartender and I go by the name of Tracey”
“So that’s not your real name?” he asked puzzled.
“No it’s not, but I like to keep a low profile at a place like this. Get me?”
“Yeah kind of,” he seemed a bit let down.
“Well Tracey. It was nice talking to you. I have my friends waiting one me over there,” he pointed to the far left corner of the club
“Alright cool. It was nice talking to you too,” she gave him the best smile she had.
He dropped a tip and left.
