Maria Part 1

A small smile appeared in Maria’s eyes that lit up her face as it blossomed and ended up on her mouth

Maria entered the bar slowly. The lighting was dim, the music was loud, and she was celebrating herself tonight. She didn’t know what to expect, but she was hoping it would end well.

Maria tipped her head, watching the activity. All eyes turned towards her when they spotted her. Her long, curly dark brown hair with bronze highlights that appeared mischievous, a bright red dress with gradient colors in geometric shapes fell just above her knees with a handkerchief hem. It had a halter top that tied around her neck, and sleeveless on purpose to show off the well-defined muscles in her shoulders and arms. She’d replaced one bad habit with another a year ago and it was time to show off her effort.
