Dark and Light

Chapter 18

Of course, there is no lines for us to wait in being with Bradley that is. They let us right in. Entering the club, a young lady lets him know his friends have been waiting for him and leads us to a table. I explain to her that we too had a table tonight. But would be joining Mr. Cooper so we won't be needing it. I apologize for any inconvenience. I would like to tip the waitress handsomely for her troubles. She said tonight was packed so not a problem. They should fill the table easily but thanked me for thinking of them. Our server is at his table tonight. All the way I am getting smiles, men trying to talk to me and even cat called. I play flirty and toss my hair over my shoulders winking at the really good-looking ones. Your loss Thomas. At least these guys aren't blind. We get to his table. I smile even bigger seeing who I am joining this evening. "Oh my god! Sabrina is that you?" He says as he hugs me and kisses my cheek. "Robbie! What are you doing here? Nice tie!" I say very excited. Then I look over. Holy f*ck. Sebastian stands up to introduce himself formally and introduces me to Anthony. We exchange quick kisses on the cheeks as well. There is someone else with them but his back to us. It takes only thirty seconds for me to know who it is. This will be interesting. He is hitting on a very young and very eager looking blonde. My heart drops. I look on sadly. Trying to cover up the look on my face. The tears in my eyes. He has no idea what's going on behind him. The music is too loud. His attention is focused elsewhere. This hurts more than I thought it would. Bradley introduces Audrey to them. "Sabrina are you ok sweetheart?" Robbie asks me. I shake it off. "I have been better Robbie. But I am here now." I change my face as quickly as I can. Robbie motions for me to have a seat between him and Sebastian. He has a look of concern for me. When I do Sebastian tells me that I look absolutely delicious tonight as he puts his arm behind me on the seat looking in my eyes. "Same to you Sebastian." Winking at him. If this doesn't help the pain away I don't know what will. The one that has taken over me since I have seen the sight in front of me now happening. Actually, I do know. Just as the waitress shows up asking if I would like anything. I had her my black Amex and tell her four bottles of Cristal for the table, a bottle of their best tequila and to start a tab. Robbie ask where Tom is. Bradley gives the international sign for don't ask. I said there is no longer a Tom in my life. I am here to celebrate my best friend's birthday. He looks at me with a smile that would melt any girl from the inside out. It has since I was like twelve. His eyes quickly glance to the gentleman pre occupied by the young blonde twirling her hair with her fingers. A horrid high pitched fake laugh is heard over the music. She puts her hand on his knee. F*ck. Ouch. "Well then, let's celebrate gorgeous girl. I am so happy to get to meet you! You're lucky I'm married Bri! Happy Birthday Audrey!" He winks at me laughing breaking me out of my staring. Sebastian scoots in closer. The waitress comes back and sets everything up. Robbie stops her from pouring for me. He doesn't drink he says but is more than happy to get mine for my beautiful ass. I laugh. Audrey is looking at me trying to figure what I am thinking right now so I just raise my glass to toast her. "Happy Birthday to my best bitch! Now let's get lit!" I giggle out. Anthony says. "Oh I like you! We are going to be real good friends." I grin and tell him that I am looking forwards to it. Oh my god! Anthony Mackie wants to be my friend! I always thought we would have a blast together. I chug my champagne and Robbie is right there to top it off. He hands off the tequila shots to everyone. We all take one. Sebastian holds my glass to my mouth for me. God dam. "Thank you Sebby!" I say rather seductively. He laughs. I ask him what is so funny. "Fan girl much?" I tell him maybe. His whispers in my ear. "Good. Evans told me you were gorgeous but damn. He put it mildly." F*ck me I think, and I pour another round. He was talking about me. To Sebastian? Why? From what I see now I'm not exactly his type. I older and brunette. This girl clearly has no attachments like I do. A daughter. A career. I may have misjudged him. Like I always do with men. It hurts worse because. Well it's him. I ask Robbie to make sure his friend at the end gets one too. I'm testing it now. Yes I am fully aware what could happen next. I will know who he really is. I'm a bit tipsy so that's why I am doing it I think. "You sure Bri?" RDJ smiles at me widely. Yes Robert Downey JR are now besties. I know it. I nod. Letting him know I am beyond sure.
