Hello guys, this is my first story. This is the first chapter of a series I plan on making. Please comment; this is very new to me. I would like any positive or constructive criticism. I write to make you happy, so please comment. I would love to do the best that I can. All characters in this story are 18 years of age or older. Anyway, enough rambling from me, happy Reading.
It was that time of year again, and I was lonely. It was New Years Eve. All of my friends had a love they could call their own, yet I was struggling. My girls asked me did I want to go out, and of course I said no. That would only make me a fifth will. They would all have their respective dates, and I'd just sit on the sidelines while everyone looked at me with unhidden pity. And I can't say I don't blame them. I was a twenty-five year old virgin. At one point in my life I was very dedicated to keeping my virginity until I was married, but now I just felt pathetic. I was horny all the time, and it seemed as though the love of my life wasn't coming anytime soon.
I was just about to relax and settle in to do my yearly routine, watch the ball drop. But, that's when I heard a rather loud and obnoxious knock at my door. I knew who it was immediately. It was my best friend Tracy. "Anais get your ass over here and open the door, I'm freezing." I had half the mind to hide but what good would that do? She knew I was here. "What brings you here," I asked. She just furrowed her brows and shoved past me.
Yep, it looked like I was going to the party after all. "How many times are you going to lock yourself up in this dungeon? You're always complaining about being lonely, yet the one opportunity you have to get a man, you pass it up to watch the damn ball drop," she yelled in mock disgust. Honestly she was right. But I just wasn't motivated to try anymore. No guy was looking for an overly grown inexperienced woman.
"I'm just not in the mood to party. I want to relax, I've been working a lot lately." And that was definitely not a lie. I was a teacher, and some of my students were pretty hard to handle. Especially Jordan, I had to speak to his father regularly. Which reminds me that I have a meeting with his dad tomorrow. I had to find something to wear. His dad was beautiful, and it is still beyond me why I find the need to impress him. He is my student's father after all.
" Excuse me Anais, I've been trying to get your attention for the past ten minutes. What are you wearing tonight?" That's when it started. She began to go through my closet as if she were a maniac." Would you calm down already, it's not like you don't know what's in my wardrobe by now." She ignored me, and continued to search. " This is perfect, "she screamed. My heart dropped immediately, there in her hands was a strapless black form-fitting gown. I'd hidden it in the back of my closet; the last time I wore it didn't end well. My ex-boyfriend dumped me on our anniversary. " I don't want to wear it." She looked at me as if I'd slapped her. " Oh, you're wearing it alright."
And that was that. Thirty minutes later, I was dressed. I can honestly say I felt beautiful. Tracy styled my shoulder length auburn hair in loose waves. My silky caramel skin was so shinny thanks to the lotion I bought yesterday. And my deep brown eyes popped, from being surrounded with gold eye shadow. We were just about to leave, when she stopped me. " One last thing," she said as she applied her signature red lipstick to my lips. " Now you're complete," she winked.
