Sloane

The cab driver was obnoxiously talkative as he drove me and Tiffany downtown. I really couldn’t catch a break, could I? All I wanted was to stay home and binge-watch episodes of House Hunters, and yet somehow, Tiffany had managed to convince me to leave the peace of my house and join her on her Friday night outing.

“I thought we had already agreed, Sloane, no more moping,” Tiffany spoke as she applied a little more red lipstick to what was already on her lips.

“Well, I wouldn’t be if you had just let me stay home and eat my feelings away. I’m not in the mood for this, Tiff.”

“You won’t waste your life away watching reality TV and inhaling full bags of cheese puffs on my watch, Sloane. Tonight, we are going to have a good time.”

“Fine. But I’m only going to be there for an hour, and then I’m going home,” I said as the cab came to a stop. Arguing with Tiffany when she got an idea in her head was absolutely useless, and perhaps, I did need to forget everything that happened with Brooke and have a little fun, at least for a night.

The Shaker was an exclusive little spot close to the beach and was always our go-to to let off a little steam. They served the best drinks in all of Miami, and the bartender, a very sexy blonde, wasn’t too hard to look at either. The space had been converted from an old warehouse, so it maintained a rustic appeal with tall ceilings and old columns. The high-end light fixtures and swanky sculpted furniture only added to the aged feel that was always as strangely exciting as it was calming. Monday through Thursday, the place was part of the mild-mannered bar scene, but come Friday, it was filled with patrons, primarily moneyed patrons from the surrounding neighborhoods. The dance floor always opened up, and the place raged. Unzipping my black leather jacket, I maneuvered right behind Tiffany through the sweating crowds of people towards the table on the right next to the bar, our usual spot.

“Two vodka sodas, please,” Tiffany said to the bartender. It wasn’t long before she made her way to the table, two drinks firmly in hand.

“How are all these people already sweating? It’s barely ten,” I shouted over the blaring music filling the building as I slid into the seat beside hers.

“You’re the only one planning on wasting your life away, Sloane,” she said, laughing as she got off her chair. “I’ll be right back; I need to go to the bathroom really quick.”

“But we just got here!” I replied, slightly shouting over the now booming music.

“You know I have a tiny bladder,” she added before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Well, that’s just great. A rather plain-looking man in what was clearly a designer suit approached the table. Placing his hand on it, he leaned towards me. “Care for some company, sexy?” he asked, clearly eyeing the low curvature of my neckline.
