was staring at a numb, lost girl with disheveled hair
     and mascara smeared across her face. Today, I look at an independent,
     confident, hot (if I do say so myself) woman. It is amazing how much can change
     in three weeks, and I have to say that I like the improvement.
    Don't
     get me wrong, I miss Collin. Before yesterday, I still never imagined life
     without him. Surprisingly, I think maybe I needed this break-up. For as long as
     I can remember, I’ve been coupled with someone. I even had a boyfriend in kindergarten.
     I don't really know why this is; it just always seemed to happen. I’m ready to
     break the cycle. I’m ready to just be Alexa.
    “I
     love that dress.” Nicole says walking into the bathroom to touch up her makeup
     and hair.
    “Me
     too, I’m not going to be able to breathe all night, but as long as I look
     good.”
    I
     still can’t believe Amanda talked me into buying it. I’ve always been told that
     I have the cutest clothes and I’m always described as cute or really pretty,
     never hot or sexy. In this dress, I feel like both.
    “You
     ladies ready to get this party started?” Amanda asks, standing in the door
     frame.
     
    On
     the way to the club, we blast the radio and sing at the top of our lungs,
     getting ourselves pumped for the night. Unfortunately, when we get there, the line
     is wrapped around the building and after standing in line for twenty minutes,
     we still haven’t moved. Apparently the club is already at maximum capacity and
     the only way anyone is getting in is if somebody comes out.         
    Just
     as we’re getting ready to step out of line and go somewhere else, I feel two
     hands clasp my hips from behind, and a husky voice whispers in my ear, “Leaving
     so soon?” My body immediately reacts with a shock that moves at an intense
     speed from my head to my toes. Holy cow! When I finally turn around, I
     see Mr. Perfect from the restaurant. He is even more beautiful up close, and
     man, does he smell amazing.
    “Yeah,
     we’re bailin’. This line is ridiculous,” Amanda answers for me. Apparently, I
     lost my speaking capabilities at the sight of him.
    “No
     need, follow me,” he responds. Wrapping his arm around my waist, he starts
     walking towards the entrance.
    Feeling
     confident, I place my hand in the back pocket of his jeans. He glances down at
     me with a grin that makes me weak. I guess he approves. As he walks, I can feel
     his butt muscles flexing with every step he takes and I’m doing everything in
     my power not to squeeze it. His body screams sexy. When we get up to the
     entrance, he whispers something into the bouncer’s ear. The hulk like man looks
     up at the group of people behind us. Hot pants, I think that is his new
     nickname, also has two other guys with him, and then there’s Amanda and Nicole.
     He nods and unhooks the velvet rope that crosses in front of the entrance,
     letting us in. Of course, there are some groans and yells from some of the
     people that have been waiting to get in. Feeling like a celebrity, I can’t help
     but smile.
     
    After
     getting through the mob of people, we sit down at a booth that’s labeled
     reserved. I look at Amanda in confusion, but she shrugs her shoulders like she
     has no clue. Hot pants and his friends wait for us to have a seat and then
     takes our drink order.
    “Um,
     we aren’t twenty-one,” I whisper to him.
    “Don't
     worry about it, what's your poison?” he responds with that, ever so sexy, grin
     and a wink.
    Biting
     my lip because I really don't have “a drink”, I say the only thing that comes
     to mind. “A Screwdriver.” I have no clue what's in it, but I know it's an
     alcoholic beverage.
    Surprisingly,
     with the rows of people around the bar, they are back within minutes with our
     drinks. Each of the guys has some kind of beer, and Nicole and Amanda both have
     fruity looking drinks. I’m happy to find that a screwdriver is some liquor
