Was it A Trap at first sight

The Complicated Lovers-The Night of the Concert

He thought to himself: Was it a trap at first sight? Who does she think she is? I’m made of gold and diamonds. Does she really think she has a shot with someone as powerful as me? I may be of the rich and famous caliber, but I grew up in the slums. I know every game there is. A trap? hmmm, why yes it has to be a trap? Who better to play the trap game with, then the trap master himself.

She on the other hand was going about her normal complicated life and was so excited, the concert was on a Friday night. As soon as she got out of work, she went to get her hair and makeup done. It was girls night. The plan was to meet up with her girlfriends at the casino resort where the concert was taking place. They decided to make a whole weekend of it. Of course it was also her anniversary weekend, but her husband didn’t mind that she wanted to do a girls night the night before. Besides he could be with her the following night and have her all to himself.

Getting ready for the night

It took her an hour to get to the resort. She checked into her very own corner suite. This was normal for her to get a free room for the weekend. Her girls had their own suite down the same hall. They were all so excited. They had purchased their tickets months in advance. It took her forever to figure out what she was going to wear. She packed 5 different outfits. One by one, she would try them on. And one by one, she would take them off saying “ugh, I don’t like this one. What should I wear? I want to be comfortable and I want look good”. She ended up wearing a pair of ripped jeans with gold wedge sandals. She chose sandals instead of high heels incase she got too drunk. The last thing she wanted to do was fall over her feet.

Typically she wears black to help her look slim, but for this evening she wore a pink ruffle top, like out of a renaissance movie. Some say it looked like she was wearing layered curtains on her body. Now that she was dressed, her next stop was her girl’s room. It was time to get the parted started. They had 2 hours before the concert was to start. Of course, they had liquor. That’s where the drinking began. One thing they forgot to do was eat. LOL!!

Waiting for the main event

After a couple hours of hanging out and drinking, they had to get themselves from the hotel room to the main stage. But first, they had more people that were joining them for the concert. As they waited for their extended crew to arrive from New York, she decided to hit the penny slots. Maybe she could win a few bucks in the meantime. I mean, who doesn’t like to gamble? This meant more free drinks while she played her $20 bill. That’s when the text messages started coming in. One after the other.

The entertainers were at the gas station in a blacked out SUV smoking the herb. Her heart dropped. She thought-oh no, it couldn’t be? Please tell me, my husband’s cousin is not in that SUV? He can’t be. But what if he is? Will he tell them who I am? She had to think quick. How can she blend in with the rest of the fans.

Trapped by reality, freed by imagination.

She felt trapped

Importantly, no one knew. But, who could she talk to about it? Especially, if they find out? As a result, he could get killed. She also could get killed. Even so, she tried to forget about it and go about her night. The best thing she could do was to continue drinking and stay focused on girls night. Not sure if that was a good idea, yet that is the only thing she could come up with. Besides, some security officers already knew who she was and who she was married to. Surrounded by onlookers, she didn’t know if he (the great looking guy she bumped into) knew what was going on. Just then another thought went thru her head. “He must have a crew here too”! Take it easy girl, only you know who is who from your end. She had to keep it cool. Hand over head and heart-How was she going to get out of this trap?

What do you think so far? Should I continue with the complicated lovers series? If so, I’m trying to figure out character names. It’s a work in progress.
