Lavender

Chapter Ten

Gravel crunches underneath the tires of Theo's truck as he  pulls into a packed lot behind the club. Located right on the beach, the place could seriously double as a light house.

The pulsing lights coming from inside were definitely bright enough to guide a captain to shore.

Walking up to the front door where two giants dressed in all black stand with perfect posture on either side, we're both ID'd and given a neon green band to go around our wrists. The line of eager people we have to stand in dissipates as soon as we're through the doors.

Theo takes my hand in his, making a beeline for the closest bar.

"Can I get a vodka ginger-ale for myself, and umm.." he pauses to turn to me and asks, "Sprite or Coke?"

"Oh, I'll take a Sprite, please," I say, surprised he didn't offer to buy me an alcoholic drink this time.

"And a Sprite for the lady friend," he continues talking to the bartender, and turns to give me a wink.

The bartender flicks her long curtain of blonde hair over her shoulders, revealing a very large set of breasts, before she makes our drinks. Leaning as far as she can over the counter, she slides Theo the drinks, giving him a glimpse of her full cleavage, which I'm sure is thanks to a nicely padded bra.

Seriously, whose boobs are that big and perky?!

"Thanks!" He chirps, clearly unfazed by the voluptuous blonde seductress, and then slips a ten dollar bill on the counter in front of her before turning to walk me around the club.

"Thanks for not trying to make me drink," I say quietly as we reach an empty booth right beside the dance floor.

"I can tell alcohol isn't your thing, but I'll tell you something." He leans across the booth so that I'm able to hear his low, husky voice over the roar of the music. The heat from his mouth close to my ear sends a shiver down my spine. "I plan on finding out what is your thing," he continues with a cocky smirk.

"Good luck with that. I'm not as obvious as every other girl graced with your presence." My eyes involuntarily roll.

"I like a little bit of mystery, don't worry. You're not jealous of that slutty bartender, are you? Because none of these girls mean anything to me."

He's suddenly serious when he says, "Not like you do."

My heart flutters a little in my chest, and I feel the heat, that I've gotten accustomed to when I'm around Theo, rise to my cheeks. I'm at a loss for words, so I just look into his mesmerizing eyes.

"Well enough of the deep, lets go get our dance on, shall we?" He downs the rest of his drink and slams it down onto the table, making me jump.

Taking my hand, he leads me out to the dance floor where hundreds of hot bodies are grinding up against one another.

Grabbing my hand, he spins me in a circle, and then pulls me close to his body. Our bodies naturally move together to the beat of the music.

When we're sweating and out of breath, he suggests we take a break. I'm too giddy from being so close to him to even speak, so I just nod like the total dork that I am.

"I'm going to run to the restroom, will you be okay here?" He asks when I'm adjusted in the high bar stool, my feet dangling almost a foot off the floor.

"I'll be fine. Do you want the same drink as last time?"

"Sure. Thanks Matthews, I'll be right back."
