RING! RING!
"Urgh!" Propping up on her elbow, Misao threw her pillow at the telephone on her nightstand. The pillow flew off the nightstand taking the clock with it.
RING! RING!!
Even on the floor, the phone continued to ring. Trying to drown out the sound of the phone, Misao cranked the stereo up using her remote and pulled her covers over her head along with her extra pillow.
RING! RING!
Giving up on ignoring the ringing, Misao leaned over and fished around on the floor. Once her hand hit the phone, she grabbed it and answered.
"Hello?"
::Hey Misao::
"What do you want, Megumi?"
::Ready for a night out?::
"Oh, don't pull this girls' night out crap with me now!"
::But Kaoru already agreed. YOU HAVE TO COME!::
"It's already 9:45. And I have to work in the morning."
::Wuss!::
"Fine! When?"
::Ten minutes. Kaoru and I will be there to pick you up. Be ready.::
Hopping out of bed, Misao dropped the cordless phone back into its holder. She rushed to the bathroom and warmed the tap water for a shower. Once the water was warm enough, Misao climbed in. Turning the showerhead on full blast, she began to shampoo her hair and sing.
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breath I can't keep going under
As soon as her hair was completely rinsed, Misao turned off the water and grabbed her big, fluffy green towel. Misao wrapped up in her towel after drying off. She then grabbed an extra, white towel and began to dry her hair with it.
Misao went back to her room adjoined to the bathroom, singing and dancing along with the radio as she went.
Reaching her room, Misao wrapped her hair in the white towel, piling it on top of her head. She threw open the closet doors and let the green towel fall to the floor.
'Thank God Shiro moved out. Else wise, I'd have to be worried about him walking in. Maybe, I'll just stay roommate less. It makes life so much easier.'
Rooting around, Misao found her clubbing section of clothes. Grabbing the whole, huge section, she tossed them on the bed. Crossing the room, she opened her top dresser drawer and tossed a lacy pair of black underwear onto the bed along with a matching bra.
Turning to her full length mirror, Misao tested out potential outfits. Eventually, she settled on an outfit. Pulling on her underwear, Misao then reached for her black leather mini skirt. When the skirt was correctly settled on her hips, Misao zipped the back of the skirt.
Next, came the black bra. Misao unhooked the removable straps and then put on the bra.
DING DONG!
Abandoning her task of getting ready, Misao exited her room and headed for the door to her apartment.
Kaoru and Megumi entered as soon as the door was opened.
Misao retreated to her room immediately afterwards. She was followed by her friends after they retrieved drinks from the kitchen.
"Misao, how can you see to get ready? It's practically dark in here. The only lights are your clock, your stereo, and what comes in through your window," Kaoru questioned.
"Don't bother, Kaoru. She's always gone with very little light before clubbing," Megumi explained.
Misao pulled on a red tube top with gold embroidery and asked Kaoru to zip it. She pulled the towel out of the way and Kaoru pulled up the zipper on the upper half of her back.
Re-entering the bathroom, Misao gathered her make-up. Skipping the foundation, Misao started with her eyes. Her eyes were lined with black, liquid eyeliner. To that, she added a cream-base eye shadow. On top of that, she put on red eye shadow. The shade perfectly matched her top. On top of the red, Misao dusted on a light gold shimmer.
Misao added mascara that made her already long eyelashes impossibly longer.
The blush came next. Smiling, she lightly dusted the apples of her cheeks with a light pink blush.
Last, the lipstick was added. The shade also matched her shirt. She covered her lips with long-practiced grace.
While Misao worked, Megumi and Kaoru touched up their own hair and make-up.
Shooing Kaoru back, Misao opened the middle drawer on the left side of the counter. She fished around until she found a pair of chopsticks. They were read with a gold line spiraling up them.
Dropping the chopsticks onto the counter, Misao unwrapped the white towel from her head and brushed her hair out. Her hair fell past her ass once it was completely brushed. Twisting her hair up into a messy bun, Misao secured it into place with the chopsticks.
Finishing her hair by loosening wisps to frame her face, Misao exited the bathroom with Megumi and Kaoru on her heels.
"Make sure you get the light, Kaoru," instructed Misao.
Reaching back around the corner, Kaoru flipped the light switch.
Black boots with three inch stiletto hells that reached just below the knees and zipped up the insides were added to the ensemble.
To finish up the outfit, Misao grabbed the black cord hanging on her standing lamp. She wrapped the cord around her neck three times as a choker and tied it at the hollow in her throat. The excess cord hung down to just above her tube top.
All three girls stood close together in front of the full length mirror to check their outfits.
Kaoru wore a teal blue knee length skirt. There were large slits up both sides of her skirt. She wore white boots identical to Misao's and a white one-shoulder shirt that bared her belly button. A tiny silver hoop adorned her belly button with matching hoops in her ears in a bigger size. A teal ribbon was tied around her throat with streamers trailing down her back. Her hair was in high pigtails. They were tied with ribbons also matching her skirt. The pigtails were each one giant spiral curl on each side. All her make-up matched her skirt.
Megumi wore black, skin-tight leather pants with a purple top. It was a baby tee that bared over two inches of her flat stomach. The neck was a deep v-neck that revealed deep cleavage and the sleeves were split up to the shoulder. It was made of gauzy material. Her make-up was all shades of purple. She had two-inch platform shoes. Her hair had been straightened to hang down to her waist. Purple chandelier earrings were halfway hidden by her layers of hair.
When the girls decided they were satisfied with their appearances, they headed for the door. Misao grabbed her leather jacket off the coat rack while Megumi and Kaoru retrieved theirs from the kitchen. Misao grabbed her keys, id, and a fifty from her purse and inserted them into her jacket pocket.
Pulling the door open, Misao let Kaoru and Megumi exit. She followed them and removed her keys to lock the door.
As the girls headed for the stairs, Misao put her keys back into her pocket. They hurried down the two flights of stairs to the first floor and exited Misao's apartment building.
Thanks for reading everyone. Well, this idea came to me from a dream I had after my friend suggested we go to an under 21 club when we go visit her dad this summer. The girls aren't under 21, but it's just the whole idea of clubbing. I know I haven't really worked on any of my other stories, but I'm going to get this whole story done and then start work on the others. It may take a while since I'm babysitting, mowing, etc. this summer, but I'll work on it. I wrote most of this in the past two days when I took the kids to the pool and then while they were watching a movie. It should only be about five chapters long. Hope you enjoyed.
