Crazy

3

I walk into the club and instantly order my drink. I walk up to the usual spot, and sit down. I pull out my phone and text Zander telling him to hold off on everything for now. We talked more about it during the rounds and came up with a plan and everything.

I look up from my phone to notice that the girl I was talking to is eyeing me. She smiles and waves me down, to which I shake my head no. She puts on a fake pouty face and shrugs. She then turns around and I notice Andrea.

My heart skips a beat, she looks so beautiful. I notice she looks up at me as she's talking to her friend and smiles, she looks at her friend and nods. They both look at me and begin to make their way to the steps.

My heart literally stops as I realize what's about to happen.

"Carl." I hear from behind me. It's the girl from last night.

"I'd reply with your name, but I never actually learned it." I say in a sarcastic tone.

"Maddie. So, why were we glared at the entire walk up the stairs?" Maddie says as she sits down in the black chair next to the sofa.

"That would be because you're not supposed to be here." I say with a laugh.

"And why is that?" Andrea says.

Her voice is so amazing. It catches me off guard and I find myself smiling at her. She returns the smile and sits on the couch next to me.

"Because I handle business up here, this is my area. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're sending security up here to remove you." I say with a laugh.

"As if on cue." Maddie says.

I notice the two security guards at the top of the steps.

"Mr. Gallagher, are these two young ladies bothering you?" Jackson asks.

"No. Tell Melonie that I invited them up here and she can quit with the jealous bullshit. Unlike her, these girls are wanted up here." I say with disgust.

Jackson nods and turns to walk down the steps, Byron follows.

Maddie just laughs.

"Mr. tough guy, huh?" Andrea says.

"This club is like your bitch." Maddie laughs.

"That's because I practically own it." I say as I sit back.

"Wait, what?" Maddie says in shock.

"Yeah, my gang bought it so we could have a public place to hold our meetings." I say with a shrug.
