The Essence Of Love

Elle's Game

"How's my hair?" Elle asks as she fluffs her ponytail.

"It's bomb boo, you know I love half up and half down on you." I smile.

"Good, thank yooou."

"You ready?"

"Yep, Uber is outside." She checks her phone.

We both make our way out the front door and up to the Uber.

"Uhh—E Larry?" The driver asks.

"Ellarie." We correct him in unison.

"Cool, my bad."

We slide into the back seat and Elle closes the door.

"Did I tell you the club name?" She asks me.

"Uhh , Truce?"

"Yea that's it, it's supposed to be packed tonight."

"That's good, I feel like I havnt been out in a while."

"Yea, like two months, not too—Oohh shit." She pauses looking at her phone.

"What?" She holds it up to me and I watch the video that's playing.

"Oh great." I huff ,watching Iyana give Titan a lap dance at the club we're on the way to.

"How long ago was it posted?" I ask.

"Five minutes." She frowns.

"Out of alllll the clubs in L.A." I shake my head.

"Sorry boo, but maybe it's a sign." She grins.

"Riiight." I roll my eyes.

"We'll take tequila shots, you'll be aight." She nudges me playfully.

"Your so lucky I love you." I smirk.

Moments later,  we pull up to the three story club.

"Thank you!" We say as we get out.

"Have a good night." The driver waves.

"How do I look?" Elle asks, straightening her skirt.

"Gorgeous." I say as I fluff her ponytail a little.

"Good you too." We grab hands and walk to the front of the line.

"Hi, I'm one of the hosts , Ellarie and this is my plus one Essence." Elle tells the bouncer as we hand him our ID's.

"I gotcha, y'all can go on in."

We make our way through the thick crowd and go straight to the bar.

"It's nice in here!" Elle yells a little over the music.

"Yea it is!" I say looking around.

"Hey ladies , what can I get for you two?" The pretty bartender asks.

"Two blue motherfuckers please." I say.

"Got it." She smiles.

"I text Iyanna, she said she's coming over." Elle says.

"Ok."

"Oh there she is."

"Hey girl!" Iyana smiles at Elle, as they hug.

"This is my bestie Essence." She introduces us.

"Hiiii." I wave.

"Oh my gosh your even prettier in person!" Iyana smiles.

"Oh, thank you , you too!"

"I didn't know you were coming tonight , did you know your ex is here?" She smirks.
