Loving the Senator

Chapter 3

"Thomas, please come here now," Victoria yelled at him. I went from laughing at him to hoping to God he would live to see another day.  

Thomas lived through the brutality of Victoria after an hour in her office. I stood around with the rest of my coworkers and eavesdropped. Yes, he is an idiot and doesn't take his job very seriously, but he is a good worker and is never late or calls in sick. We all heard her yelling through the thin walls of her office. The only thing we could hear was Victoria telling him to shape his ass up or he could get out. She yelled she was not going to tolerate his behavior unprofessional behavior any longer. Everyone was trying to walk by and listen without her noticing. I felt to blame for it because he is doing it to make me laugh. He was quiet the rest of the day, and I left him alone. I had other things to worry about.  

He must not have been too upset over Vicoria because we were still on for Saturday night. I went out with him and Bruce to the new club called Knobber Jobbers . I hoped it would get my mind off Alex.  

They picked me up in a Limo around eight, and we headed to the new gay bar that just opened downtown. Thomas dressed me up as someone I was not. He made his way through my closet to find just the perfect gay bar outfit, and he put together the sleaziest he could. It consisted of skin tight ripped jeans, over the knee spiked heel boots I had for a Halloween party one year, a Madonna T-shirt that he ripped down the front and lots of jewelry. He blew out and teased my hair to sky-high proportions and insisted on putting on my makeup. When he was done, I looked like a drag queen. I hope this is the only place we were going, because anywhere else, I may be mistaken for a prostitute.  

The nightclub is in a huge warehouse that is converted into rave- type bar. I felt the beat of a remix of Bad Romance pounding in my chest as we walked inside. I was in awe at the interior of this place. The lights were incredible flashing neon colors all over to the rhythm of the music. A very large man in assless chaps,leather vest, and a cowboy hat carded me at the door. That alone should have made me run, but I figured I might as well have a good time. 

"What will you have?" yelled Bruce, who was just as good looking as Thomas, He was Thomas's new boy toy and gorgeous. An investment banker and Asian, he is as gorgeous as Thomas. They had been together for six months which was a record for anyone dating Thomas. He has a bad roaming eye, and he is very sexual, so I am hoping he would tame Thomas down. 

"Whatever you are getting,' I yelled back over the rhythm of the music and the total chaos of the bar. Thomas grabbed me, and we hit the crowded dance floor as soon as Bruce handed me a glass with a penis straw.  

I danced the night away and drank something called a, Dirty Butt Whore, which was Jagermeister, whiskey, coke and orange juice. I was wasted and headed back to my condo by force after the third drink. Thankfully, Bruce and Thomas stayed with me because the entire world was spinning, and I was throwing up most of the night. I thought I was dying, or at least knocking on deaths door, as I hugged the toilet promising God I would never do that again. The two of them slept beside me on my bed and got me through my first gay night club experience. 

When I woke up the next morning, the boys told me what I did and said. I held my breath, and I prayed I did not tell them my deepest and darkest secret, of my love for Alex. No one knows about my feelings for him, and I wanted to keep it that way. They did say I kept singing that song from his campaign, and I was asking women in there if they knew Jade. 

"Good Lord Bruce. You should have got me out of there," I said laying on my stomach and covering my head with pillows.  

"And Thomas, I thought we were best friends, and you let me make a fool of myself," I kept on. 

"I tried but you got all kinds of pissy with me honey. Called me all kinds of bad gay names and tried to pole dance right before we dragged you out. We had way too much fun watching you like that," said Thomas laughing into his pillow.
