The Club

A low buzz enclosed the small apartment of Brennan Rose as she was fast asleep on her couch. A stubborn radio blasting "Eyes Without a Face" on repeat from the 80's. It scratches a few times and when the line is cut dead the static gets louder causing Brennan to suddenly jolt awake and fall off the couch in a frenzy.

She slowly pushes herself off the ground and looks to take in her surrounding. Soft rays of late afternoon sunlight peeks through the gaps of her closed curtains, her front door was securely shut, and nothing was broken or out of the ordinary.

A small white fur ball stalks its way towards her and gingerly sits on her chest, "jeez Princess, I thought someone broke in for a second."

It meowed back like it understood and started to knead her stomach.

"omf," Brennan hadn't expected that and whatever she had last night decided it didn't like the cat's show of affection "Princess no"

Brennan quickly picked her up and rushed towards the bathroom. After she finished her... business her phone rings from her bedroom and a few dings went off indicating she was getting spammed.

"you'll pay for that." she says bitterly to her cat before leaving the bathroom to pick up her phone

"Hello? Today meals are yesterdays abortion, how may I help you?" Brennan says dryly into her microphone

"hehe... that's not funny." her friend, Ezra or as she prefers "Its just Ez", giggles childishly on the other side

"No, you're not funny"

"well whatever cause guess who I woke up with this morning," she sequels on the other end "constan-fucking-tine!"

Brennan laughs since everyone in their friend group knew she fancied him since high school. Ez tried countless times to gain his attention during their not so legal visit to the bar during summer break. He was a couple years older than them and worked at a popular bar downtown, which is why they made a couple of... not so real IDs to get in. They didn't drink but got a couple of attention from the older mature men and a certain bar tender.

"I'm happy for you, now all you have to do is make him yours" Brennan teases

"well.. pshh.. uh," Brennan lets out another laugh "well at least I wasn't going around looking for every lottery paper I could In a drunken euphoric" An exhausted sigh escapes her lips as she recalls her drunken state last light.

What supposedly turned out to be a night of fun night at the bar last night turned into a complete disaster after she received a text from her land lord saying that she was a thousand dollars in debt. In her drunken haze she declared that they should go on an adventure to hunt for "all the yummy bling bling makers" and quote.

"At least I didn't drop everything and everyone to go home with a hot bar tender on his new bike" her mind let out an evil laugh knowing that her friend looked like a ripe tomato on the other line.

"whatever," her friend mumbles childishly again "did you remember that one ticket you signed up for cause the show starts in a couple hours"

"I don't know, I feel like I shouldn't get my hopes up"

"Understandable... so does that mean you can come to the bar tonight?"

Brennan groans in disgust at the thought of drinking again "goddess, anything but that please"

Ez laughs at her antics "Well you don't have to drink because Summer is coming and she's gonna sneak in a couple kid friendly drink, with her boyfriends help of course," she pauses for a second before continuing "and besides, if you did win that lottery it would be on your door step in the morning.... and Constantine said he would give me a ride on his new bike if I came tonight" the last part came out as a hushed whisper but Brennan heard her loud and clear.

A bright smile appeared on Brennan's face as she figured why her friend was so persistent, "okay but, you owe me big time"

"AHH" Ez squeals again "i promise that you'll love it, they're hosting a special event for a couple of foreigners from Italy too, there's going to so many cute guys there"

"okay okay go calm down, I'm gonna go take another nap"

"wait wait, tonight is going to be a special night I feel it," oh no... Ez always had a bad sense of what would happen.. "you should wear the red dress we bought last week, it's your only chance to flaunt your curves to a bunch of foreigners-"

Brennan cuts the line dead before she could continue.

Now that she was thinking about it..... foreigners huh
