I was still with Cyan and Franceska, though we had relocated to the bar. I had been told that Grimmjow, Tier, and Coyote were handling some business or something upstairs... but that they should be finished soon. Shawlong had gotten takeout for everyone's dinner. And eventually it was time for the club to open. The music was pulsing around the building and the people that had been waiting in a line outside of the door were being systematically let inside. But none of my friends had shown up, yet. I was trying my best to ignore Cyan and Franceska's chatter, because mostly all they did was argue, but their topics were drifting and it was hard not to hear them... especially when I heard my name being mentioned.

"I'll bet Grimmjow is a good lay." Cyan giggled. "Juna, is he as amazing in bed as he looks?"

I blushed. Why were they talking about this?

"I'd really like to get my claws into Coyote..." Franceska was practically moaning.

"Oooh, yes..." Cyan agreed with her. "He's got such a sexy face... perfect for sitting on."

I was about to keel over... but they were just giggling together like this was an acceptable conversation to be having.

"I'm sorry, ladies." Yylfordt rolled his eyes at them, but somehow maintained his smile. "But I'm afraid that both of those men are out of your league."

"What are you saying?!" Franceska shouted angrily.

But Cyan just calmly held her arm out in front of her and turned her attention to Yylfordt. "What about you?" She murmured playfully. "You're pretty cute..."

He chuckled, but turned away. "I'm not interested in either of you."

I expected her to get angry... but she also turned, with her sleeve covering her face, and seemed as if she hadn't even heard his rejection. I got a text message and looked at my phone to see that it was from Renji.

FROM RENJI: Hey, Pink! Shuuhei and I just got here. Where are you?

I grinned as I texted him back.

TO RENJI: I'll meet you at the door.

I hopped off of the bar stool that I had been perched on, not answering Cyan and Franceska as they called after me, and hurried over to the front entrance. I got there just in time to see Nakeem letting them in. "Hey, Red!" I waved as we closed the gap. And when we were close enough, I gave him a hug. And then I looked at Shuuhei. "Hey."

Shuuhei nodded at me. "Hey."

Renji kept his arm around me after we pulled away from the hug. "Cool place..." He murmured, looking around at the interior of the club. And then he looked down at me... and red dusted across his cheeks. "You look..." He trailed off.

So Shuuhei finished his sentence. "Stunning." And then he chuckled. "Which is probably why Renji is dumbstruck and drooling..."

"Shut up!" Renji snapped, elbowing him before turning his attention back to me. "You really do look amazing, though."

"You both look great, too." I grinned at them.

They were both dressed in snazzy, tight fitting shirts. Shuuhei's was sleeveless, showing off his muscular, tattooed biceps. And Renji's was short-sleeved with a low v-neck, also showing off his muscled body and tattoos. Now that I wasn't having to deal with Cyan and Franceska... I was starting to relax. And the music was amazing. My grin widened as I grabbed Renji's hand.
