Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York

Later that night, Maya walked into a Lower East Side club dressed in a satin blue slip dress and black lace up heels. She had a black fabric choker around her neck and her hair was curly.

There were neon lights shining throughout the interior of the club, as people danced to the latest Kanye West music.

Maya felt comfortable in this environment, since she could just get lost into the music and lose her mind for a couple of hours.

Of course, she never drank too much that she would end up passing out in the door, but she would still let loose.

Maya immediately ordered a Jameson on the Rocks, leaning on the bar area as she watched other people her age dancing and making out and having a lot of fun.

A few moments later, she had her drink in her hand and made her way towards the crowd of people.

Her plan for the night was to flirt around a little and then find a guy to hook up with for the night. A guy who seemed decent and free of STDs.

The song changed into a Rihanna song and that immediately got Maya swaying her hips, as she took small sips of her drink.

She laughed, putting on a big smile as she danced, letting her hair fly wild. She sang along to the dong as she danced along to the music.

Maya made her away around the dance floor, flirting with a few guys, but none of them interested her.

She drained the rest of her drink and shut her eyes, letting herself get lost into the music. it had been a while since she had last had fun like this.

Probably a year, at most. When Riley was pregnant, Maya spent a lot of time either working as usual or helping her out. After Nathan was born, it was pretty much the same.

She hadn't really gone clubbing since she dated Lucas. Maya let that thought run out of her head as she threw her hands up in the air and continued to lose herself to the music.

After a while of continuous dancing, some flirting, and avoiding a wasted guy's attempted kiss, Maya found herself near the exit, annoyed that she couldn't find anyone who was available or non creepy.

Just when she was about to give up and maybe go off to another club across the street, she heard somebody whisper in her ear and before she knew it, just minutes later, she was following him out in a cab.

She was pretty drunk but she still saw the brunet hair and green eyes that felt so familiar, but she couldn't remember where from.

They made out in the cab, not caring about anything in the world while the night was still young.

Riley was sitting on the floor, playing with Nathan, when she heard her phone ring. She reached over to the coffee table where it laid.

She saw Farkle's called ID and sighed. She declined the call and went back to playing with her son.

Nathan had his hands over Riley's leg, as he reached for a toy. She chuckled, as she picked up the toy and put it in his hands.

"I love you," Riley giggled, as she caressed his chubby baby cheeks.

The phone rang again and Riley groaned. She reached for it again and declined the call again. Maybe she was being rude, but she just wasn't in the mood to talk to him.

He had left her alone the past couples day and she liked that. Talking to him was difficult and way too awkward to bear.

Nathan leaned on Riley's thigh as he lazily played with his toy. Riley smiled and started to say sweet things to him, when her phone ringed again.
