*A week later*

I moved in with Stella for temporarily until I can find my own place. I have not spoken to Mac since that horrible day and I have been avoiding his phone calls and his e-mails.

Stella kept telling me that I should go see him and talk to him but I don't want to. I am still angry and hurt by his betrayal. I think Stella is secretly hoping that I will go back to him but I don't think that I can give him a chance. I have lost trust in him. I know I sound like a bitch but I do not think I can take so much pain anymore.

Therefore, this morning, I woke up from Stella's couch and went into her room to see if she was home but she was not.

I did not have worry about Stella because sometimes her job brings her out like three or four in the morning. This week, I did not have to work because of the spring break.

Due to my boredom, I decided to clean her apartment. I heard the door open in the middle of cleaning process so I stopped what I was doing and I came out to the living room.

"Stella?" I said and she jumped in the air, shutting the door.

"OH! You scared me… I was hoping that you would be still sleeping."

"Um… it's ten in the morning… and you're still in the same outfit from yesterday… oh my god. Stella!"

I started to giggle when she blushed.

"Okay, who was it?"

She started to stammer and tried to walk away but I stopped her.

"Come on, Stella! Who is it?"

"OH god…. Okay, you have to promise me that you will not tell anybody. Please."

"Okay, I promise that I will not tell anyone. I cross my heart and hope to die." I say, making a cross over my heart.

"Uh… (Sighs)… I slept with Adam."

"What? Wait… you slept with Adam? Adam from work… the computer nerd and sweet Adam?"

"Yes."

"Wow…" I cleared my throat. "So was the sex good?"

"Isabella!"

"Hey, I'm just curious… don't get mad at me!"

"I'm not mad… I'm just shocked at you."

"Okay… why did you do it with Adam then?"

"It was just one night stand… we kind of just did it."

"Well… are you going to date Adam or something like that?"

"No… I don't want ruin my friendship with Adam."

I roll my eyes in the air. "Stella… here is a fact: almost every girl says that… like me when I first met Mac…." I say sadly.

"Look, I know. I'm sorry but I just don't know what to do now… oh my god." Stella shook her head and put her head in her hands.

"Stella, don't worry. I'm sure you guys will work it out."

"But it is so embarrassing and awkward… I mean we work together for god's sake!"

"Then you should have thought of that before you slept with Adam."

"Okay, I don't need to hear that from you now, Isabella."

"Okay; again, I'm sorry but you need to hear it. Thank god I am not in your situation." I mumbled the last sentence.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! Now, go take a shower and I will wash the clothes. Deal?"

"Okay, thanks." Stella said and walked into her bathroom.

I took my laundry and her laundry and went downstairs to do laundry.

When I was done with the laundry, I came back upstairs with the fresh laundry. When I walked into her apartment, Stella was on her cell phone.

"Alright, I will be there." Stella closed her cell phone.

"What's going on, Stell?"

"Another murder… I got to go."

"Okay." Stella kissed me on my cheek and left.

My cell phone began to ring so I put down the laundry baskets and ran to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey girl! How are you?" Samantha asked.

"I'm doing alright… just trying to move on."

"You know what I was thinking? I was thinking that we should have a girls' night tonight. We can all dress up and go to the club. What do you think of that?"
"That sounds good. Oh shoot, I have to go. I have a haircut appointment." I say , looking at the clock.

"Oh, I'll see you later! Bye!"

I grabbed my purse and walked to the haircut shop.

"Hi honey." My hairdresser said and gave me cheek kisses. "So honey, what kind of haircut do you need?" He said.

"Well, I was thinking about dying my hair and cutting my hair short… about above my shoulders."

"Sounds good, honey. What color do you want to dye your hair?"

I looked in the mirror. My hair is golden brown and I have highlights in it.

"Um, I want to get rid of the highlights and the hair color I want is dark chocolate."

"Ohh, that's sexy, especially your hair texture is wavy and thick."

I giggled. "Alright, let's do it!" He says, taking my hand and led me to the hair washer.

After spending two hours in the hairdresser shop, he turned my chair around to the mirror area.

I gasped at the mirror. "WOW!" I said, touching my hair.

"Girl, you look great!" He said, fixing my hair.

"I love the hair color. It is great! Thanks honey!" I exclaimed and gave him a friendly hug.

I paid for my haircut and was walking on the way home when a dress caught my eye.

I must have stared at it for about five minutes when someone from the store came out.

"Are you interested in the dress?" the sales associate asked.

"Um… yeah. I would like to try it on."

She led me inside and put me in the dressing with the dress. "Please let me know if you need my help or you want to buy the dress."

I nodded and she left me alone.

The dress is multicolored ombre sequin one shoulder. Therefore, I tried it on and zipped it up on the side.

"Hmm." I say to myself, checking myself out in the mirror.

I like how the dress looked on me so I decided to buy it for the girls' night tonight.

I came home and got ready for the girls' night. I put on the dress, my blue heels, and my blue double drop earrings.

I did the smokey look for my eyes and nude color for my lips.

My girls arrived on time and we took the cab to the club where we got our drinks and danced all night.

After dancing and flirting with men all night, my girls were ready to go home. I was not ready because I wanted to be out and try to not think about Mac so I decided to go the bar to drink some more.

At the bar

I arrived at the twenty-four hours bar and grabbed my stool. I was already tipsy from the club and I wanted to drink some more.

I was on my second beer when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and it was Flack.

"Oh, hi Flack." I said and he sat down next to me. I could tell he was already wasted because Flack was swinging a little bit and I could smell alcohol on his breath.

"I would like some more beer, please." Flack said to the bartender. "Look, sir. That's enough for you tonight."

Flack started to argue with the bartender and I cut in. "Sir, I'll make sure that he'll get home safely. Meanwhile, just give the beer to him so he won't bother you anymore… please." I asked nicely.

He nodded and gave it to Flack.

"Thanks, Bella. What did you do that for?"

"Because you're my friend. In addition, I hate fights. I cannot stand it when someone starts the fight."

Flack chuckles and took a sip of the beer. He looked at me down and up.

"You look too nice for the bar. Why?"

"I just came from the club… my girlfriends wanted to go home and I didn't so I decide to come here and drink my beer."

I ordered another beer and took a sip of my third beer.

"I'm sorry about Mac and you. It's a shame."

"Mac is the reason why I'm here drinking. I just want to forget everything."

We continued talking and we started to flirt.

I would giggle at what he would say and he would keep touching my thigh.

Our bartender cut us off so we decided to take the cab together.

Flack gave me his jacket because it was chilly outside.

When we went outside, I stumble over my feet and Flack caught me in his arms.

We laughed so hard and when we stopped, Flack was looking into my eyes. He sweeps my stray hair and tucked it in behind my ear gently.

Finally, he leaned down and kissed me. We kept kissing until Flack stopped me and flagged down the cab.

We get into the cab and he tells the driver the address of his place. When we got there, Flack hands the driver twenty dollars and does not wait for the change.

We spill out of the taxi, kissing more on the sidewalk. Then we went in the elevator and we kiss more on the way to the fifth floor. He pressed me against the elevator walls and my hands are on the back of his head.

We stop kissing and walked quickly to his door. Flack almost dropped his keys when I started to kiss his neck.

He finally opened his door and he picked me up, closing the door with his foot. We undress each other quickly and he throws me on his unmade bed.

The next thing I know, we are having sex.
