A week goes by since that day and I've taken out a brand new lease on life. Life is short and so is this dress I'm wearing. I'm ready to let loose and wind it up on the dancefloor. I text Maribel to see if she has any plans tonight.
"You, me, Club 27 tonight. What do you say?"
"I'm down," she says.
We meet up at the club around 8:30 pm. This place is known to be swarming with hot, hungry singles. Maybe I'll get lucky...
I post a selfie of me and Maribel to my Instantgran while in line. "#Club27 🥵 ", I caption it with. What can I say? We look hot tonight! Almost immediately, I get a like and comment from Dark Night. I won't lie. I may have been trying to bait him with my post. I quickly go to our private chat to see if he's typing and he is! Hook, line, and sinker...
"Wow, you look stunning." he says.
"Careful, honey. You might burn yourself." I tease.
"Well, it just so happens that I like playing with fire..." he replies with a wink.
"Maribel, take a photo for me with my phone."
I make the sexiest pose I can and try out a seductive face. Maribel's mouth drops.
"Woah, Jaen. You're sending me into a panic, girl. Keep it up and I'll take you home myself!" she says jokingly as she fans herself.
"Good." I say winking at her. I send the picture to Dark Night. "Sweating yet?" I say with a wink face.
"That was so hot it burned me." he says with a sweating face. "So, you're at Club 27 right now?"
"Yep."
"Maybe I should come by and see that in person." he says.
"Challenge accepted." I reply with a wink face. Then, I put my phone away. I'm hoping he'll go crazy from me not reading or responding to his messages after leading him on. Maybe this will get Dark Night to come out of the shadows and pull up.
