"I am taking you to the hottest club in Orlando." I told Faith as we drove down the highway.
"A club?" Faith asked me incredulously..
"Yeah," I said, looking over at her. I noticed the unsure look on her face and said, "Don't worry. It'll be fun."
Faith nodded. "Alright. I guess." She agreed.
On the way to the club, Faith an I talked and got to know each other.
"Here we are," I said as I pulled into a crowded parking lot. There were a lot of people walking around, hanging off of each other falling down drunk.
"It's called The Dirt." I told her.
Faith raised her eyebrows. "Okay...The Dirt?" She asked.
"I know, it's a weird name. But it really is the best club." I assured her as I parked.
I opened my door and got out of the car. Faith unbuckled her seatbelt and did the same. We could hear the loud music from outside.
I circled around the car and took Faith's hand. I led her away from the car and towards the door.
"The line's really long." Faith pointed out.
"Don't worry. We don't have to wait in it. I know the guy at the door." I explained to her.
Faith nodded. I took her straight past the growing line and to the door. My friend, Tony, was standing at the door arguing with a girl and a guy.
"You can't just not let us in!" The girl was complaining, "We've been waiting in line for two hours!"
"I don't care if you've been waiting in line all day! You're not 21, you're not gettin' in. Now get outta the line!" Tony demanded.
The girl and the guy she was with glared at him and then stormed out of the line. Tony watched them leave, and then spotted Faith and I. "Yo, AJ! Get over here!"
I pulled Faith over to the door. "Hey, Tony. What's up?" I asked.
"Nothin' much...what about you? Who's your new woman?" Tony asked.
I pulled on Faith's arm so she walked up and stood next to me. "This is Faith."
"She's hot, man. Good job." Tony said, "Go on in."
Faith and I walked through the door. Inside it was hot, and the music was blaring. I said something to Faith, but she couldn't understand what I was saying.
"What?" She asked.
I leaned in closer to Faith and said in her ear, "Some of my friends are here. They're at the bar. I said I'd meet them."
Faith nodded and followed me to the bar. A big group was sitting at it, and I took her over to them. I knew that Faith recognized Nick from the restaurant.
"Hey," Nick said to me. He noticed Faith and said, "Well, it looks like you got what you wanted..."
I smacked Nick upside the head. "Shut up," I told him. Then I began the introductions for Faith. "Okay, Faith, this is Nick, Brian, Leighanne, Paul, Crissy, and...I don't know these two ladies."
"I'm Janine." A blonde woman said, walking up to me.
"It's very nice to meet you, Janine." I told her. Ahh...beautiful women hanging all over me...This is the life.
Janine giggled and touched my arm. "You too."
"Okay, Janine, let's go dance." Jacob said, putting his arms around her waist and pulling her over to him.
"Hey, do you want a beer, Faith?" Nick asked her.
"Oh, no thanks. I don't drink." Faith told him.
"You don't drink?" The girl who was with Nick asked. She began to giggle.
"Hey, I don't drink, wither." I told her. What was this chicks problem? Not everyone drinks...I happen to like the fact that Faith doesn't.
She stopped giggling. "Oh, you don't? Well, I suppose that's okay." She said.
I nodded and then turned to Faith. "You want a Coke or something?"
Faith nodded. "Sure, a Coke would be good.".
I saw Faith's face and could tell that she wasn't enjoying herself very much. "You're not having fun, are you?" I asked.
Faith turned to look at me. "Yeah, I am..." She said.
"Come on. I can tell." I said.
Faith shrugged. "I've never been much into clubs." She told me.
"You wanna leave? We can always go somewhere else." I suggested.
"No, it's okay. I don't want to ruin your evening." Faith said.
"You won't be," I assured her, "Let's just leave. We can go get some coffee or something."
"Okay," Faith agreed.
"Come on, then. Let's leave." I said.
I took Faith's hand and the two of us walked through the club to the exit. Most of the others leaving were drunk. Faith and I were practically the only sober people walking out of the club. In the parking lot there were a few people standing around talking, some were drinking, and some were in their cars blasting their own music.
Once we were in AJ's car, Faith said, "My ears are ringing now."
"I know," I said, starting his car, "It was really loud in there, huh?"
"Yeah."
"So...have you regretted coming out with me tonight at all?" I asked her.I was interested in finding out if I made a complete jackass of myself by asking her out.
But Faith shook her head. "Nope. I've surprisingly enjoyed it." She told me.
"I have, too. I'm glad you came out with me tonight." I said.
"Me too." Faith said with a smile.
"Would you consider coming out with me again?" I asked her hopefully.
"Yes I would...if you ask me, that is." Faith said.
I looked over at her and smiled. "Okay then...would you like to go out with me again? On Friday?" I asked.
"I would love to." Faith told me.
I smiled happily. "Great. And I promise I will not haul you to any clubs." I meant it, too. I'd go to a freaking library with this one if that's what she wanted...and I hope to God she doesn't.
"Then it's a date."
