There She Was

Chapter 1

Gia was a beautiful woman, with piercing hazel eyes and flowing dark locks. She was an average height with a slim build. She never really thought of herself as attractive but she definitely noticed the amount of attention she received. On any given night out it was a guarantee Gia would be approached by a handful of random suitors looking for a chance to speak with the brunette. This night was no different. 

Gias POV

Friday, May 20th:

"Gia are you almost ready?! Ubers 5 minutes away!" Brielle shouted from the living room. Brielle is my best friend. We met the first week of college and kind of just never separated. We do everything together and it's very rare to see one of us out without the other. 

"I just need shoes" I shouted back as I exited my bedroom and walked over to the pile of assorted shoes next to my front door. 

"What do you think, black heels or white platforms?" I asked Brielle who was taking a shot to start the night. 

"Black for sure, now let's go the ubers pulling up" I hurriedly threw on the black heels as we made our way out of my apartment to the grey honda that was waiting for us. We got in the car with a huff as we finally could relax for the 15 minute drive. 

We were headed to one of our favorite clubs, Neon. It was right in downtown and we knew most of the people that worked there. Brielle and I were always club girls but especially now that school had just gotten out, thank god. 

"Is Stevie Djing tonight?" I asked as we headed down the traffic filled street. 

"He should be, he's usually here on Fridays."

Stevie was a big Dj in our city. He used to help us sneak into the clubs when we were under 21. Feels like forever go when I think about it. 

"I'm excited, Neon is definitely gonna be packed tonight" I said as we were pulling up to the brick building. The line was already starting to wrap around the corner and I could feel the anticipation in the air. We thanked our uber and made our way to the front where we greeted the bouncers we had come to know well. 

"What's up girl, you guys with Nick?" Nick was a promoter we met back in our freshman year. He was a little wild but who can say no to free alcohol? 

"Aren't we always" I joked as the bouncer wrapped a VIP wristband around Brielle and I's wrists. 

They laughed and pulled back the rope that was restricting us from entering. "Enjoy your night ladies" the bouncers said and we thanked them in unison as we made our way up the stairs. 

As soon as we walked in, I was overwhelmed with excitement. The music was blasting and there was already a decent amount of people inside considering it was only 11:30. We headed over to where Nicks table was and immediately recognized a lot of the other people there. 

"Look who decided to show up" I heard Nick say to the left of me and we laughed as I gave him a hug. 

"You know we'd never miss a Neon Friday" Brielle chimed in. 

Just then, the bottle girl came over with what appeared to be Grey Goose. "Hi love!" she said as I recognized the blonde woman in front of me. She was a bottle girl for a lot of the clubs around here so we saw her quite often. 

"Hi gorgeous!" I answered and embraced the smaller girl in a short hug. "What are you drinking?" she asked and my eyes lit up at the thought of finally getting a drink. "I'll take a vodka red bull babe" 

When she finished pouring Brielle and I drinks, we headed to the other side of the table where there was a velvet purple couch. We sat as we said hello to a couple of other people.
