Chapter 1: New Beginnings
"Miami? Of all the places in the world, you choose Miami," Marissa said looking at her girlfriend, Alex. Her purple highlights standing out more then usual were highlighting her deep blue eyes. She really loved Alex. She didn't need Newport or any of its inhabitants, as long as she had Alex…. She didn't even need him anymore.
"It's a great place to start a new club with the little bit of money I have. Plus there will be great diversity to start our band," Alex said kissing Marissa and shoving her on the couch. She grinned as she walked closer unbuttoning her shirt and letting it fall to the ground.
"Yeah… And I can still get my tan on the beach."
Both girls laughed. Just when then thought they had come so far, they were still the same Alex and Marissa, just older. Marissa had just graduated college with her design degree and Alex had just saved up enough money to start a decent night club. They were in charge of their own lives now.
Alex sat on Marissa. She grinned and grabbed Marissa's hand. The pair of hands searched Alex's creamy skin for the buckles in back. Once the latch was released, Marissa knew her mission: please the partner at all cost.
The two girls played around on the couch for what seemed like eternity. It was a festival of kissing, toys, and fingers. It was different with another girl. Girls just knew how to push each others buttons.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Shit!" Alex whispered quickly throwing her clothes on. She had completely forgotten she accepted an invitation to go to dinner with her business partner. She had to make a god impression if she was ever going to get a hot club. She needed this person's help; after all they already owned the one club in town all the celebrities go to.
"Um… Forget to tell me something," Marissa suggested as she watched Alex jump around. She had never seen Alex like this. They had always been honest with one another, especially when it came to seeing other people. But Marissa just guessed she deserved this for when she spent that time in the mall with Ryan.
"I have a business dinner, with Jacqueline. She's going to help me with the club, says we might even be able to get it going by next month. With her help we can get out of this hell we call an apartment and get a nice place. Ooo…. Like one of those ones you hire an architect for and you design it yourself. Wouldn't that be fun," Alex explained as she smiled at Marissa and ran to the door. She brushed off her clothes and opened the door with open arms.
Marissa knew she shouldn't be jealous but the idea of her hugging another woman made her sick. She rolled her eyes as Alex left without even saying goodbye. Marissa felt so betrayed. This was her girlfriend… Her lover… Her best friend why was there something she couldn't tell her. Who was this Jacqueline girl anyways?
Alex laughed as Jacqueline opened her car door for her. The two of them had such chemistry together. It was going to be a blast to work with her. She could tell whatever they did; it was going to turn out great.
"Did you think of any club names?" Jacqueline asked as she turned her car on and started driving to the restaurant. She smiled at Alex for a minute and then focused back on the road. She knew Alex had a girlfriend, but that wasn't going to stop her from trying to hook up with her.
"I was thinking club X… short for ecstasy. Like sex because that's what dancing is like, Alex suggested hoping for approval. She would do anything to get the club of her dreams. She just knew this Jacqueline girl had all the answers.
"That's hot… I love it!" Jacqueline exclaimed as she pulled up to the valet of the restaurant and got out of the car.
"I have never been to this nice of a place before, I'm not going to fit."
"They're not staring at you because you're new, they're staring cause you're hot!"
Jacqueline grabbed Alex's hand and led her into the restaurant where she had a private room reserved for just the two of them, where they could order whatever they wanted, and do whatever they wanted.
"May I start you off with some Champaign? The young waiter asked as the ladies sat down. After Jacqueline replied yes, the waiter poured a little bit in each glass and walked away to give them a minute to look at them menu.
"You don't even need a menu here. I'm so popular…. I get whatever I want. Its great and soon you will be saying the same thing." Jacqueline said looking at Alex over the menu.
"You make it sound so easy…"
"I have big plans for you," Jacqueline said as she grabbed Alex's menu. She stared at her for a minute and then smiled. "I have an idea. There is this cute space that opened up downtown. Why don't you come check it out tomorrow? The sooner we can get started on this the better."
"Great. I've always wanted my own club."
"And now you'll have one."
Marissa sighed and decided to see if anyone was online. Maybe talking to someone would be helpful. Besides when you talk to someone in a chatroom, its not like you ever have to talk to them again.
"hmm…" Marissa sighed as she scrolled down the categories. All of them had something to do with cyber sex, and there was no way she was going to join one of those. That's when this one caught her eye… Lonely and Broken Hearted. There was only one other person in the room so it was just the two of them:
MiamiFox- Hi.
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreakr- Hi, why are you lonely.
Miami- Because my gf is starting to keep secrets from me. U?
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- I guess I just don't believe in love.
MiamiFox- How can you not believe in love.
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- I guess I never really got over someone and I don't know if I can live without them even though I'm with someone else now.
MiamiFox- Maybe you should tell them you still care.
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- Nope. I don't even know how to get a hold of her. I guess if it was meant to be, we'll find each other.
MiamiFox- What about your other girlfriend… Your current one?
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- She doesn't want anything to do with me because… I think she's cheating on me.
MiamiFox- O I C
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- Yeah, we just got in this huge fight and I think we broke up.
MiamiFox- You think?
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- She said id I ever want to talk to her again Ishould call and apologize….
MiamiFox- So call her.
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- Im not sure I want to.
MiamiFox- I know how that goes. My gf just left. With another girl on a business date… But she didn't even tell me about it. She just left. I wish I could just yell at someone. I mean I don't even have a friend here and shes out there having a ball.
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- Where are you from?
MiamiFox- Miami…
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- That's what I thought. Im form Miami too. Maybe we could be friends. I mean if you dare trust me.
MiamiFox- Can I trust you?
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- Yeah. Maybe we should meet face to face. You can even bring pepper spray to hose me down with if Im not what you expect.
MiamiFox- You'd let me blind you?
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- Sounds like we could both use a new friend so yeah.
MiamiFox- When are you suggesting to have this encounter?
neverthoughtmyheartcouldbreak- I dunno… I don't want to rush things. When youre ready tel me. I have to go though. I have to get up early for work. Hope we can talk again.
MiamiFox- Goo night.
