This is my first time writing anything like this…please let me know if I should continue on…or just go a different direction! Reviews would be nice!
Chapter One: Perfect Timing.
2 weeks. It's been 2 weeks since I've moved to Chicago, and I've already…
"Spencer!" Erika calls out from the next room.
"Yea..."
"It's 11:30…are we still going out?"
"Yea, I'm finishing up!"
Erika walks into the room, sits on Spencer's bed, and watches as Spencer finishes up her makeup. Something's on Spencer's mind, and trying to be a good roommate, Erika begins the inevitable conversation…
"So are you going to tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"Tell me what's been on your mind these past couple of days? You've seemed distracted, and I know breaking up with Tyler was tough…"
"Tough for him…" Spencer says laughing and trying to deflect the real reason behind her distraction, "I had no problem letting him know that it wasn't him, it was the fact that he had a penis that broke the deal…"
Erika throws a pillow, "Hahahaha I swear you know how to let them down easy…"
"What? I said nothing serious from the beginning, but how could I turn down tickets to the movies, concerts, games, dinner?" she said sarcastically, "And besides, he was a great friend…he just, had a penis!"
"I get it! You know as your roommate, I am going to take it as my responsibility to find you a girl…a hot girl. Lucky for you, my gaydar is uhhhhmazing, and by the way you've been tense, you're going to need this." She winks at Spencer as they both make their way to the door.
Spencer was new to Chicago, but Erika wasn't, and she knew all the spots they had to hit if they were going to find Spencer some action.
The visits that Spencer made before moving out after graduating college got her acquainted with the city, it was just meeting people that she wasn't great with.
Driving up to the club, Spencer's mind was still racing…
2 weeks…damn, I should've waited longer. It was too soon, just too….
"Can I see your id?" the bouncer said as Spencer realized she was already next in line…
"Oh yea, here…"
"Come on in."
Spencer and Erika don't even get 10 feet into the club when…
"Shit!"
Spencer looks to her left as she realizes the bartender dropping a case of beer behind the bar. Erika then grabs her arm and takes her to the other end where she spotted a couple of girls dancing, but not before Spencer notices how hot the bartender looked….brunette, curls hanging over her black halter top…those tight jeans, those…
"Hi I'm Samantha," says the girl she realizes is standing in front of her all of a sudden.
"Oh, uhhh hi, I'm Spencer."
"Spencer? Cute…" Samantha says, "Were you looking for someone Spencer?" noticing Spencer being distracted by something…or someone.
"Oh uh, no, no one; I don't know anyone, I…"
"She just moved here!" Erika interrupts, "And she's newly single!" winking back as Spencer, still looking for that bartender.
"Nice…me too" Samantha say smiling back.
**Awkward silence**
"So, Samantha? What do you do?" Erika says as she elbows Spencer in the ribs…
"I'll be right back…bathroom!" Spencer yells out as she walks off. Erika awkwardly smiles and follows.
"Ok, I bring you here to find a hook-up, and you're doing that distraction thing again!" Erika says walking into the crowded bathroom. "Do you even want to be here? We can leave if you…"
"Her." Spencer says acknowledging the girl at the mirror, "that's the one."
"The bartender? Did beer spill on your shoes when she dropped it?" Erika starts towards her, then being jerked back by Spencer.
"Noooooo. Look at her. She's gorgeous!" Spencer said turning around, blushing, when the bartender walks past them to walk back into the club.
"Sooo, let's go talk to her!" Erika said, following her out…again being jerked back by Spencer.
"Are you crazy? I haven't talked to a girl...in forever! And besides, she's working; she would be too busy for a conversation any way."
"So what are you going to do? Wait for her outside the bar?"
"Would that be too creepy?"
"You were seriously thinking about it?"
"Nooo, I mean, not until…whatever, let's just go get a drink."
Walking back to the bar, Spencer keeps looking for the girl of her dreams, with her nowhere in sight.
Shit. She probably left, maybe went on break? Ugh, I missed my chance….whatever, she's probably not even gay…or if she was…couldn't be interes…
"What are you drinking?" whispers a girl into Spencer's ear, with her hand around her waist.
"Oh, uhhh vodka tonic?"
"Sounds good," says the girl, smiling to her. "Two vodka tonics!"
Spencer, still clearly dazed and confused, realizes the bartender walking up to make the drinks…shit. It's her! Smiling nervously, she can't seem to direct her focus to the girl trying to pick her up, or even notice that Erika is nowhere in sight.
"So, are you going to tell me your name?"
"Spencer, my name is Spencer," trying to say it loud enough in hopes the bartender would hear.
"12 bucks." The bartender says, "Or is it going on your tab Amy?"
"Put it on my tab….I'm Amy," the girl said putting her hand out to Spencer still mesmerized by the bartender, who seemed to have noticed her too...or so Spencer hoped.
"Nice to meet you," trying to be polite, I mean the girl did buy her a drink…what else was she supposed to do?
At this point, Erika comes up, notices Spencer "wanting to be saved," and being such a good roommate, grabs her by the arm… "Hey babe! You ready?"
"Whaa? Oh, yea, if you are…Amy this is…"
"Her girlfriend Erika, nice to meet you," Erika says smiling back at Spencer.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't realize…she didn't say anything…"
"No trouble, we had an argument, but I can't stay mad at this adorable face!" Erika says grabbing Spencer's face, looking toward the bartender who was serving others, hoping to lock eyes again.
"Thanks Erika," Spencer said as they walked out of the club. It was already 2, and there was obviously no chance of Spencer meeting anyone else, considering she had already fallen in love with…oh yea, she still didn't know her name. Well, at least she knew where she worked, right?
"So are we doing this or what?" Erika asked as they stood outside the club.
"Doing what?" Spencer asking all confused.
"Waiting for your dream girl? Duh…"
"Oh, hah, no, I mean…no no, that would be too creepy. Besides, I already made a fool of myself with, well everyone we met."
"True, but you didn't meet her," Erika said, pointing to the bartender walking across the parking lot.
Oh my gosh. This could happen. There she is. I just need to go up to her and…
"Spence? Helloooo" waving her hand in front of her mesmerized roommate.
"Oh, no...we don't even know if she's…gay"
"Who cares? What's the worst that could happen? Like you said, you've already made a fool of yourself," Erika said laughing and pushing Spencer into the direction of the girl, "just go! Look, I'll even stop her… HEY!"
The girl, startled, looked around to see Erika waving her down, with Spencer trying to bring her friends hand down. Without thinking, she made her way over to the two girls who were bickering with each other.
"Why! Why did you…" "It's for your own good! Just get out there and…"
"Yea?" the girl said standing in front of them, "did you need something?"
"Yes, this is my roommate Spencer, and you're the girl of her dreams!" As Spencer tried to push her roommate back before anything else would come out of her mouth.
"Hi Spencer," the girl said laughing…"Ashley."
Finding the courage to look up at her…those eyes, that hair, shit talk to her! "Hhhh, hi, hello," shaking Ashley's hand, suddenly it got hot for Spencer.
"Sorry about my roommate, she's drunk," "No I'm not!" Erika said yelling back as she went to get the car to give the girls some time to talk.
"It's fine." Ashley said smiling back at Spencer…those blue eyes; that body God she's gorgeous!
"So, I'm the girl of your dreams, huh?"
"Haha, oh, umm, well I," God just spit it out Spencer! "Yea," she said trying to sound jokingly, "I mean…hah"
Ashley starts laughing, grabbing Spencer's hand and starts writing something…
"Here's my number, if there's an application I need to fill out to make being the girl of your dreams official, give me a call." She said winking at Spencer.
That. Really. Just. Happened.
"Trust me, I will," Spencer said, ugh, word vomit…filter Spencer, filter! "Hah, I mean, yea…"
Smooth Spencer…smooth, you always do…
"Get in the car!" Erika yells out.
This night, was definitely something that got Spencer distracted with something else…or rather, someone else.
