I took another sip from my drink and not knowing what else to do, I looked up at the second floor. I kept on telling myself to leave, but I hadn’t actually made any move towards the door, much less off my chair. Unlike the rest of my friends, I found a job right out of college and I had to go into work in the morning. I couldn’t even remember the name of the club, mostly because I couldn’t read the neon script, and only wanted to leave as soon as I stepped out of the cab. It was how they convinced me to squeeze into my standby little black cocktail dress and slip on the stiletto heels high enough to force me to concentrate while I walked.Īnd yet, despite those promises, I now sat at one of the high–top tables sporadically placed around the perimeter of a dance floor in the middle of a trendy night club watching my friends make asses of themselves while they ground up against the strangers groping them. I had been promised a nice evening at an upscale wine bar.

I might use the word let, but in reality, they got me out of my apartment under false pretenses. I wondered again why I let my best friends from college, Hilary and Lisa, convince me to go to a dance club. The beating of my heart and the throbbing within my head matched the beat of the music. I closed my eyes and felt the pounding bass of the music thrumming through my body. Why not also take this opportunity to sign up for my newsletter and never miss a new release!

Unfortunately, the regiment of pregnancy tests disproved that little sentiment.Īll rights reserved. I had heard the stories about girls who got pregnant their first time or the one time they didn’t use protection, but that always happened to other girls. Not that I really knew who it happened to though. Things like this didn’t happen to people like me. How could I have been so stupid? What was I thinking? I mean, besides clearly not thinking. I rubbed my fingers over my eyes, wiping away the remnants of the tears from my face. You didn’t just take care of anything, like mopping up a spill on a floor. You don’t have to decide anything just yet. I put the stick in my hand next to its brethren and covered my face with my hands. I wanted to cry, but I had already spent the afternoon crying and it hadn’t managed to fix anything.

I looked up from staring at the pink line and stared at my friend. “Okay, so we just go back to Defututa and you find the guy and hand him a stick.” Hilary waved her hand over the little army of pregnancy tests. Or from the four previous pregnancy tests lined up perfectly on my bathroom counter. As though that damnable second pink line was going to miraculously disappear the next time I blinked my eyes. I sat on the edge of the bathtub and stared at the little white stick I held between my thumbs and forefingers.
