My head throbbed. I opened my eyes to the sun bleeding through the curtains. "Just my day", I said aloud with half opened eyes. I looked over to the door of the hotel before I pulled the covers back over my head.
"Love it," I thought to myself, sarcasm was my specialty. My husband was back home in Detroit, while I was here in Hawaii on my own. That lying bastard deserved to be back in Detroit rather than here in Hawaii with his wife. I giggled to myself. He'd kissed his ex-girlfriend while married to me.
Don't. Think. So. I'll get him back yet!
I thought. That was the point of this little vacation. I wanted to get away from him, Detroit, and that "woman" I used to call a friend. I could stay in Hawaii and have fun all by myself.
I planned to go for a drink tonight, have a few laughs with some random people, then I'd come back here to the hotel, and just spread out on this king-size bed! Yeah, everything about the trip was perfect but that sun bleeding through into my eyes first thing in the morning.
I spent the whole day out on the beach, it was amazing. I loved laying there in the sun, with the sound of waves and the feel of sand under my bare feet. I didn't wear what a lot of other women did. A bikini? NO! I was too scared! Heh, you know, it's strange considering. I'd met my husband at a local bar back home. Normally, I wouldn't have even gone to a bar, being shy and all, but something had me under a spell and I just had to go, and that was how we met. But enough about him. The sun was going down and I was ready to get drunk. I picked up my towel and covered up my one-piece-with-skirt with the towel and started back to the hotel room.
I went down my checklist for the evening:
- Shower
- Outfit
- Hair
- Make-up
- Perfume
First I checked off shower. Next, outfit. I decided on a three and a half inch heel boots. I wanted a pair with a good heel, if I came back drunk, I might snap a thinner heel. A black lace cotton skirt hemmed at my knees, black pantyhose, black lace panties and a black t-shirt to top it off with. Hair I checked off as I decided on knotting my hair back in a ponytail. If I got drunk and threw up, no problem. Make-up was next as I went down the list, ah my favorite part of any night. Some foundation and concealer to fix some areas and a bit of blush to bring out my cheekbones. I went with some classy brown eyeshadow, on black volume mascara and liquid eyeliner. I finished off my look with some red Rimmel lipstick. Perfect! Perfume? Perfume? Oh! Nothing says classy like Chanel!
I took one final look in the mirror.
"Nicola, you're gorgeous!"
I kissed the mirror and left lipstick marks on it and went out for a few drinks.
I walked out the front door of the hotel and hailed down a cab. I gave him the address and he took me straight there. I watched the lights light up the street on the way, so relaxing. "But not too relaxing as I want to dance while I'm there." I said to myself. The driver pulled up outside the door, I opened my purse and paid him, and then I strode straight into the bar.
I got in, and wow, what a place. Lights, music, dancing. I made my way over to the bar for a drink.
"What will it be miss?" the bartender asked.
"A Vodka and coke please." Oh yes, I'm going to enjoy this, I thought. I looked around and felt the air moving, I couldn't get over how much better I felt. I finished off my first drink as my weak bladder reared it's ugly head.
"Pee pee pee pee...." my bladder said which sent me racing off for the ladies. I walked in and thought,
not bad,
it seemed very clean. I wasn't too convinced. I went into a stall near the door and laid some paper on the seat to pee. You never know who has been in here.
