I clicked "go" and it took me to a cute web page. There were pictures of happy couples in love, kissing, hugging and talking. I felt a sigh escape my lips. What if nobody is interested? What if I'm a laughing stock of the whole site? Ugh... Forget it.
I closed the laptop and started to get ready, forgetting entirely about the site. All I was focused on now was having a good time tonight.
I decided to wear my new black mini dress. I did my hair into a loose bun and wore my favorite red heels with some silver accessories. I was so excited and pumped for tonight.
2 hours later
It was time for me to leave. I grabbed my clutch purse and got into the car. I left the house and started driving to the city. I finally got to the club and as usual, it was packed full of people outside. I looked for the girls, but they were nowhere to be found. I waited for a few minutes and that's when I heard my voice being called. I squinted through the blinding lights and saw Samone searching for me.
"Sam! Over here!" I tried to get past the thick crowd of people.
Samone wasn't as careful. She was like a truck, pushing people out of her way. When we met, she hugged me.
"Come on, the girls are waiting inside." She held my hand and we walked to the front doors together.
"Name, ma'am." The bouncer eyed me.
"Cadence Golding."
The man smiled and let me through. "Hey Cadence. Haven't seen you in a while."
"Ben! I didn't recognize you." We hugged. "You look amazing."
"Well, I have been working out. You like the new 'do?" Ben ruffled his hair, seductively.
"I love it. You really suit it." We smiled.
All of a sudden, Samone cleared her throat. "Samone Harris." Ben checked the board and ticked her name.
"You two can go through." He helped us past the velvet rope. "Catch 'ya later, Cadence."
"See 'ya Ben." I opened the door for Samone and I.
When we got in, the place was filled with music, lights and people.
"How do you know that guy?" She gave me a suspicious look.
"We dated a year before I met Andrew."
Samone made a disgusted sound, like she always does when I mention Andrew. "Oh, that's lovely. Why'd you break up?"
"We just grew apart, I guess..." I wondered. Why did we really break up? I mean, things weren't perfect, but we had a good thing going...
"Oh look, the girls are over there. C'mon babe." She grabbed my hand and we met the girls.
After a few hours of dancing, drinks and chatting with the men, I decided to call it a night. I tapped Samone's shoulder, barely sober.
"Sam, I gotta go home. I'm so tired." My head was swimming.
"Okay lovey, need a ride?" She stumbled on the dance floor.
"Nah, I got it." I kissed her cheek. "Call me tomorrow."
"Okay honey... I LOVE this song!" Samone grabbed some random guy and they started to dance.
I giggled and left the club. It was dark and deserted out front – very different to the scene when we arrived. I got into my car and drove home. I checked the time on my phone. It was 3am. I was so tired.
I opened the door and it was quiet inside. As usual.
I opened my laptop and checked my emails.

Babe, this is the last time I'm asking.

Love 'ya, Kim.
Ugh. Fine. I'm going to join, just so it shuts her up. I typed in the address and cringed as the happy, in love, couples appeared on the screen again. I clicked, "Sign up" and it took me to a page, requiring me to fill out my details.

About me:
Hi, my name's Cadence. I'm 22 years old and I live in Massachusetts. I love being with friends and family. I'm not looking for a relationship, but it would be nice if I found the right person. For now though, I'm more keen on chatting with a genuine, nice person.
I'm pretty athletic, but I also love the relaxed days on the couch. I'm shy at first, but get to know me, and I'm actually pretty funny.

There.
Now, I just need a picture. I frantically searched my camera for a good picture. None that I liked. I frowned, desperate.
Then I remembered, for my birthday this year, Andrew bought me a voucher to get some photos professionally done. I hope he hasn't taken them by accident. I ran upstairs and searched my bedside table. Found them!
I went back downstairs and put them onto the computer. I smiled and submitted my profile.
Now we play the waiting game...
Author's Note; Hey everybody! I'm back, sorry for the hold-up. Of all days, right after I posted the first part, I found out my computer has a virus. So I had to write this entire part on my sister's laptop. Hopefully, my computer is fixed tomorrow or Tuesday. Please rate/review!
Thanks, :) x
