Chapter Thirty-four

Change is challenging, yet necessary.

The second Alexis entered The Red Oak, which was the new hot spot in town; she saw that it was crowded. Normally she wasn’t into crowds, but since this was the new her, she’d have to deal with it, accept it, and make the most out of it. As she excused her way through the crowd she took in the cream and gold decorum. The tables were set with what appeared to be satin material, candles, and a slim vase with one lily, which gave the appearance of an upscale club. The lighting was dim and the music was old-school R&B, which suited the twenty-five and over crowd just fine.

Alexis glanced around and was relieved when she spotted Champagne who already had two Martini glasses in front of her.

“What’s up girl?” Alexis greeted as she bent over to give Champagne a kiss on the cheek.

After all, she knew Alexis was going through it emotionally. Who could blame her? She was obviously hurt and needed time to process the damage done to her heart. The pain was noticeable because of her behavior and her not reaching out.

By not calling Champagne or really taking her calls it was understandable that Alexis was feeling dejected, despondent, and distant. Who wouldn’t want to be left alone at a time like this? Being best friends and not communicating like they normally do left Champagne concerned about their friendship and Alexis’ state of mind. But instead of hounding Alexis like she wanted to, she chose to let Alexis work through it.

Not that she had any choice because Alexis wasn’t ready to open up and after hearing Alexis tell her when she was ready to discuss it with her, she would, Champagne decided, leave well enough alone. So, Champagne let it go and moved on. She made the decision to just be there the best way she could for Alexis, in spirit. The way
