Another night, yet no Dominique. I sighed pointing the Roku remote at the tv which displayed an anime series I was in the middle of watching. Pressing pause, I sat the remote back on the side of me and onto the nightstand running my hands over my face. I picked up my phone, unlocking it before dialing my wife's  number once again for the ninth time this past hour. As much as I didn't want to annoy her with the constant calling, I was beyond worried even though this was very much like Dominique.

I should've been used to her constant staying out at night, barely answering the phone for me. And when she did, she would be sure to curse me out and tell me how annoying and delusional I was being.

Because of my past, I always tried my best not to be annoying and I knew that I had certain issues I needed to work on upon myself. I tried not to throw my insecurities onto my wife and I tried to handle them alone, which would sometimes become hard to do with the way she moved.

After ringing all the way out, it once again reached her voicemail. I could feel myself tearing up as I hung up the phone sliding out of the bed, I made my way to the bathroom flickering on the light. I then turned and looked at myself in the mirror, I was too good of a person to keep going through the shit I go through. But I was also not strong enough to leave.

I unlocked my phone again going on instagram seeing that she had recently posted on her story, I clicked it seeing that she was out at the strip club. Every story it got worse and worse, she was getting danced on by naked strippers, tonguing them down and everything. I shook my head feeling myself shake of disgust. I quickly closed out of the app, wiping my face refusing to let my tears fall.

I was tired of this repeated cycle and it was the beginning of the summer. I needed to get of this house, but I had no one. Literally.. no friends, no family.. no one but Dominique. But all of that would be coming to an end tonight. Even if I had to go out all alone, I would do that. Anything was better than being cooped up in this depression zone 24/7. I smiled at the thought of getting out as I googled fun adult activities happening in the city tonight.

Once I successfully found a nightclub event, I turned off the light and made my way back into my room. I walked into my closet trying to find something simple yet cute, that would make me stand out a bit but not too much. I didn't need all of the extra attention since I was, still in fact married.

After a while I successfully found my outfit, I showered, did my bathroom routine and everything else before getting dressed and doing my makeup and hair. When I finished getting ready and I was happy with how I looked, I smiled in my full body mirror placed on the floor of my bedroom.

I then made sure I had all of my needed accessories such as my phone, charger, gum, taser, and perfume. I then made my way out of the room and out of the house making sure to lock the door behind me, I walked over to the car climbing in and starting it.

I then connected my phone to the Bluetooth playing Under the influence by Chris Brown. Good enough, I then put the location of the place onto my phone and started the route there. Half way there I noticed that my car was damn near on E, so I decided to make a quick stop at the gas station. When I pulled up I noticed that the gas station was slight empty. Usually this one was packed.

I parked the car and turned it off, looking carefully at my surroundings. It was crackheads and drug dealers everywhere, I sighed getting out locking the doors and made my way into the store. I was clutching my pearls honestly, yet something about it excited me. As I walked up to the door, some skinny drug dealer looking guy, with long neat dreads which was up in a ponytail smiled opening the door for me.

I blushed, smiling and thanking him as I stepped into the store with him behind me. "You welcome shawty, where you going?" He asked licking his lips as he followed me, I chuckled uncomfortably "U-uh" I started then stopped when a bunch of other females walked in, my eyes where instantly drawn to the light skinned female with long pink inches flowing down her back.

She had full pink beautiful lips, she looked to be a real life barbie doll and I was in awe until she glanced my way looking me up in down. I frowned a bit seeing her say something to her friends making them all look over towards me.

Before I could finish responding to the dude, the group of girls approached us, the one I had my eyes on smiled flashing her bottom teeth covered with her grills. They were like the fangs kind and it looked so attractive. She licked her lips while holding eye contact with me before speaking, "Is this boy bothering you?" She asked tilting her head before looking him up and down, almost as if she was daring him to do or say anything.

They all stared at me, and I felt put on spot feeling my face turn red of embarrassment. "I- I'm married." Was all I managed to get out making them all laugh except the dude, he shook his head turning to walk off leaving me here with the girls. I frowned a bit feeling as if they where laughing at me. The one girl with the blue hair quickly caught that and she stopped laughing stepping a bit closer to me, but not too close.

"You're so pretty love, we weren't really laughing at you. Your response was just cute that's all shorty." She spoke before smiling at me showing her pearly whites, damn she's good looking too. She gave off tomboyish vibes, like she was a girly girl but supposed to be a stud. "Oh okay." I mumbled awkwardly, "My bad though, I'm Tae or Sleeze, that's Kobe-

She pointed at the brown skinned female with slight big eyes, she was very pretty though, she also had big lips. She looked to be a model of some sort. They all did. "Hey bookie." Kobe smiled making me blush and wave back. "That's Kira" She pointed to the girl I had kept trying to refrain from eyeing.

They all seemed nice but intimidating. Also much younger than me. I waved shyly "I'm Iceland." I responded making them all smile at me "Nice to meet you Iceland, where you headed?" Kobe asked tilting her head at me as I picked up some skittles and went over to the freezer grabbing some cranberry juice. "To some random bar thingy I just found on Google." I responded making her chuckle.

"Girl by yourself? That's so dangerous." She shook her head at me, I shrugged "I'm just trying to get out, I don't really have anyone out here." I spoke honestly, Kobe shook her head. "Well we headed to my spot right now, we having a girls night tonight if you trying to slide?" She asked and I shrugged "Yeah why not." I gave in, not like they could do anything to me for real.

"Alright let me put my number in ya phone girl." Kobe told me and I nodded going into my pocket grabbing my phone, I unlocked it before handing it to her as we all walked up to the front counter "I'm paying, you can put ya shit up there." Tae told me and I nodded listening, didn't have to tell me twice.

I sat my stuff up there and turned to Tae "I was really trying to get some gas too." I told her making her laugh "Shit us too, how much to fill ya tank?" She asked as Kobe handed my phone back to me with all of their numbers saved. I took it thanking her before sliding it back into my pocket "$54" I responded and she nodded stepping in front of me with her card, she paid for every-bodies things and our gas before turning to me handing me my bag.

"Thank you." I thanked her again, she nodded smiling at me "You're welcome, we'll meet you at the crib?" She asked and I nodded "You wanna follow us?" Kobe asked and I nodded "Yeah that's fine with me." I told her and she nodded as we all walked out of the store, they were laughing and joking as we walked out to our cars. They were in a black Mercedes. I pumped my gas and waited for them before seeing Tae walk over to me.

"Hey frienddd" she dragged making me laugh, "Hey friend." I responded smiling, I loved being a friendly person and meeting other friendly people. I hated the stuck up people who felt like the world was out to get them so they had to be cold, nasty, and stuck up towards others.

"I came to see if you want me to ride with you so you wouldn't be lonely or get lost. Them muhfuckas drive too fast." Tae told me and I nodded "Yeah you can." I told her and she nodded climbing into the passenger seat happily "Passenger princess tingz!!" I heard her yell making me burst out laughing, when I finished pumping the gas I closed my gas tank and climbed into the car seeing Tae scrolling through her twitter.

I connected my phone to the aux pressing shuffle on Apple Music and Casamigos night by Yung Bleu blasted, I smiled seeing Tae lean up in her seat a bit getting ready to sing along. See ima fuck with these people, hopefully they don't do me no harm..
