Gage's POV-

I made my way home and because I didn't get stuck in another meaningless meeting I was in a good mood. I was positive Ellianna wasn't going to any "frat parties" so that also put my mind at ease. It had been hard not to talk to her all week but I wanted to give myself some space in hopes that my feelings for her would change. They didn't and I know for a fact that I wanted her. I needed to ask her Monday if she would go with me next weekend and for some reason I was nervous as hell about it. Buzz Buzz Buzz my phone goes off. I quickly retrieve it out of my pocket and see Jordan's name across the screen. I answer it "Hey, man. What's going on?" he says "I'm going to babysit wanna go with us?"

I knew what he meant by that. He wanted to go see how his club was doing, we do it about every other month, and I was totally up for that. I always end up finding a girl to bring home and I'm not going to lie, I totally need that right now. I think of Ellianna but honestly it's not that she is mine, yet, so I say "Yeah, who's going?" It's usually harder to get away with a girl when my friends have their girls with them. They always seem to make me feel guilty for what I'm doing but honestly it's not like I'm pulling them out by their hair or anything. I was glad when Jordan said it would be just the guys tonight. "Can you be ready by seven? I have a driver tonight." Jordan asks. Of course he does, any time we go out he can ask for a driver, he's a professional basketball player and they are at their beck-in-call. I said "yeah, I'll be ready." and he says "o.k. man. be there soon." and I end the call.

I finish my shower and pull my hands through my hair. I decided on my favorite black Armani suit with a white button up shirt. I make my way down stairs and grab some left over Chinese food from the refrigerator. I make a plate and warm it up. I eat quickly when I notice the guys should be here any minute. I rinse the plate and put it in the dishwasher and down the glass of water I had and place it in the dishwasher too. I just make my way down the hall to the front door and hear the car honk letting me know the guys are here.

I walk out, lock the door, and make my way to the waiting limo. I get in and of course Dom, Jordan and David all have a drink in their hands. I get in and shut the door and say "what's up guys?" They said "hey" and told me where their ladies were. I poured myself a drink and sat back enjoying the guys night out for the short drive to the club. We get to the club and drive by slowly to the line outside and of course Jordan is smiling, who wouldn't, he owns the place and it's clearly popular.

We drive by slowly and I look out at all the beautiful women barley dressed when I spot a red head a my head snaps back as we pass. Hell no, that can't be her. I turn and look out the back window and spot Avery. Jordan asks me "what's wrong" after I let out a "what the fuck?" I look at him and quickly return my gaze to the back window. I'm positive it's Ellianna and turn back around. They are all looking out the window with confused looks on their faces. I need to calm down but I can't believe she is wearing that dress and it looked like she was talking to three guys. Three really big guys.

I close my eyes and pinch my nose thinking how this girl is going to get me killed. Sure, Chad was no problem but three guys bigger than him. Ugh!! I look at my friends and start to think maybe if they join me I would have a chance but then decide not to get them involved. Hell, Jordan walking down the line alone would cause problems, not with the three NFL players talking to Ellianna, but the girls? Well, the ones that recognize him that is. We come to a stop in front of the club and I'm not even sure how long we have sat there. I look at my friends with concern on their faces and say "I know someone in the line and I'm not sure why she is here?" I continue when they look really confused now. "Go ahead and go in, I want to go make sure she is o.k." They all look at each other like "what the fuck is going on" and David says "you want us to come?" I shake my head no and say "No, I just know she isn't twenty one, and I'm not sure why she is in line. I'll go talk to her and be in in a few." reassuring them.
