"Geez, why does it seem that when I am all ready depressed as all hell, the world decides to pour down rain?"
This question muttered into the phone only received a laugh in return. Jen, of course, felt no joy, though Becca's funny little giggle always brought an answering one from her.
"I am being honest, Beck. Jimmy treated me awful and I feel like utter shit. Then to add insult to injury, it decides to up and rain. I swear, the only thing that would make this worse is if I happened to see the little shit with his new bitch."
Becca, of course, said all the usual things girls always say to their best friends when they are feeling down, which did absolutely no good. She finally gave up and just let her friend vent. After all, that was the main reason she called, not to be laughed at or lectured but to be heard.
A full 20 minutes had passed before Jen finally ran out of steam. Becca then took it upon herself to invite Jen out for dinner and a night of dancing. Surprisingly enough, Jen agreed for the next night, which was Friday.
"What should I wear?" was Jen's only question.
"Something scandalous. There is a new place I want to take you to. Guaranteed you won't run into asshole there." Becca's answer, spoken with a slight laugh.
About 8:30 the next evening, Becca pulled in front of Jen's apartment and tooted her car horn.
Jen, dressed in a form fitting black velvet mini-skirt and camisole with knee high boots, ran out.
"Damn, sweetie when I said scandalous, I did not mean nearly naked."
Jen blushed an alarming shade of pink, not very attractive on a natural redhead with faint freckles.
"Mind your business, brat and let's go get me drunk."
An hour later Becca pulled into a parking lot,
located just across the street from the club they were going to. It was named Satin Slippers and looked busy. There did not seem to be a man in sight, though.
