“I’ve been going steady for awhile with this guys named Todd and his friend Reilly is going to be there too,” she said as we pulled into the club parking.
“Don’t you think it’s a little early to be here?” I asked.
“Todd owns the club,” she replied as we got out of the car and into the club.
“Really?”
“Yeah, it was his dad’s, but his dad gave it to him.”
We walked in and sat down at one of the tables near the bar. Two guys walked up to us, who I assume were Todd and Reilly. “Hey baby,” the one said and kissed Maricar on the lips. He was tall and well tanned. He had dark brown eyes and dark hair.
“You must be the infamous Jen,” the other one said and sat down next to me. He was gorgeous. He was tan and had blonde hair. His eyes were an eccentric blue and had the most kissable lips. He was wearing khakis and a white wifebeater with a blue shirt over it. My eyes traveled down to his well-toned body. He was quite the looker.
“That’s me,” I replied, “and you must be Reilly.”
He nodded with a smirk and asked, “Do you want something to drink?”
“Sure.”
“What do you want?” he asked as he stood up.
“Surprise me,” I said.
“Okay,” he said, flashing me a smile.
I looked over at Maricar and Todd and her seemed to be enjoying their time together quite well.
I looked around the club. It was quite exquisite. It looked like a tropical rain forest. The decorations were very flamboyant. The club was empty right now because as I walked in, the sign said it opened at 9:00. “Here you go,” Reilly said as he set down my drink.
“Thank you,” I said as I took a sip. It was tequila. I looked over at Reilly and he had gotten himself a beer.
“Do you wanna dance?” he asked.
“Sure,” I said as he helped me up off of my chair. We walked out onto the dance floor and began to sway slowly to the faint sounds of the music coming from a radio at the bar. “Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful you are?” he asked.
“Once,” I said, painfully remembering the memory.
“Is he a boyfriend?” he asked.
“No,” I said.
“Good,” he said and dipped me. That set me into a fight of laughter because it was so unexpected to me that he would do that. “You have a cute laugh, it lights up your face,” he said as he ran a hand across my cheek.
“Really?” I questioned.
“Yeah,” he said as he leaned in and kissed me.
“What was that for?” I asked innocently.
Instead of replying, he leaned in and kissed me again. I wrapped my arms around him as we stood there in the middle of the dance floor making out. ‘I deserve a little fun,’ I thought to myself.
“Hey Reilly, c’mere,” Todd shouted to us. Reilly slowly let go of me and promised, “More later.”
“Okay,” I said grinning. I didn’t know why, but at
this moment I just felt so happy, I just had to smile.
************
Later that night, I was sitting at the bar with Maicar
when I notice who was in the club with us. “Maricar,”
I began, “It appears Justin is here.”
She quickly spotted him with two blondes at each side of him. One of them happened to be my sister. “Oh well, I have Todd,” she said.
“Yes you do and Todd is a great man,” I said.
“Yeah he is,” she said, smiling at the thought of him.
“Hey beautiful,” Reilly said and wrapped his arms around me from behind.
“Hi,” I said as he took a seat next to me.
“Are you ladies having any fun?” he asked.
“No,” Maricar answered.
“Why?” Reilly and I asked at the same time.
“Because Todd isn’t here right now.”
Reilly and I looked at each other and laughed. “Your pathetic Maricar,” Reilly said.
“I know,” she said as she got up, “I’m going to go find Todd.”
“Do you want to go dance?” he asked.
“Sure,” I said and walked to the dance floor with him. We started grinding almost immediately as we got out there. After a little while, I felt that someone was watching me. I turned my head a little so I could see and I came into eye contact with Chris and Justin. There were at a table, staring at me. I turned my head back around to face Reilly and said, “ Do want anything to drink? I’m a little thirsty?”
“Yeah, I’m going to come with you,” he said as he headed for the bar.
“Do you like shots?” he asked as we found an empty table.
“Yeah,” I said.
“Okay, I’ll be right back,” he said and walked up to the bar tender.
He returned minutes later with the booze, the lemons, the salt, and the shot glasses. He moved some hair from my neck and took a lick. He poured some salt on my neck and took another lick. He quickly drank the shot glass and sucked on a lemon.
“My turn,” I said as I picked up some salt. I licked him on the neck also and poured some salt on it. I licked it again and drank some of the booze he put into one of the glasses. He held the lemon in his mouth, so I got it from him, but kept my mouth resting there for a minute longer before pulling away.
We played this game for almost an hour before we got total smashed. Maricar came up to us and said, “Jen, I think I should take you home now.”
“No,” I said stubbornly and kissed Reilly again.
“Come on, let’s go,” she said and pulled me up from the chair.
“Bye,” I said as she pulled me out into a back hallway.
We walked, well, more like she walked and pushed me along, to the car and we got in. She took me back to Chris’s mom’s house and helped me inside. Thankfully no one saw me and she helped me upstairs. I walked into the guestroom and crawled into the bed. “Night Jen,” she said before she left. But, by then I was passed out.
