 I met the girls at their hotel room around 9 so we could get ready. “What is everyone wearing?” I asked applying my makeup. Chloe was the first to be ready, she wore metallic gold low rise pants, a black halter top and tall black heels. “Damn Chloe you look sexy” Larissa said. She just finished her hair and was walking around in a towel. Janae came out of the bathroom in a short, tight white and black striped bodycon dress paired with red stilettos.

I decided on white shorts and a purple halter top paired with matching purple heels. “Larissa! You’re the only one not ready. Hurry up we have to pick up Chris” I yelled at the closed bathroom door. “Perfection takes time” She said as she walked out the bathroom with a skintight bodycon leopard print dress that ended above her knees. She paired it with black stilettos and had her hair pulled back into a high ponytail. “Well damn” I said at the same time Janae said “Sheesh!” Larissa had a huge smile on her face, “On that note, let’s go find me a man.”

Good things the girls rented an SUV for the weekend because there was no way we would all fit in my small Toyota. I drove to Chris’s house since the girls still weren’t comfortable with the roads in Tally. We arrived at Chris’s place a little after 10 and we all got out of the car. Chris answered the door in black jeans, black t-shirt and a red jacket, he looked so amazing. “Hey baby” I said with a big smile. “Wow babe you look amazing” he said placing a kiss on my cheeks, Chris hated kissing me when I had lipsticks on. “Um Hmm” Larissa pretended to cough. Chris laughed “Hi ladies, you all look beautiful” “Yes I do but thank you darling” Larissa said walking in the living room. Chloe and Janae both thanked Chris and followed Larissa in.

Chris took out a case of corona from the fridge and set it on the table. “Pre game?” he asked raising an eyebrow. “Hell yeah!” Larissa was already opening a bottle with the bottle opener on her keys. I rolled my eyes “wait before we all get fucked up, who’s designated driver tonight?” “Not me” Larissa said already taking a sip of her drink. “Obviously” Janae said. Chloe laughed “I’ll drive, I’m not drinking tonight.” “You sure Chloe?” I asked. “Yes girl you know I hate alcohol.” “Alright then” I said grabbing a bottle along with Janae and Chris “to an amazing night!”

After three beers I started to feel buzzed. We all got in the car and Janae drove to the club with Chris directing her. I was leaning against Chris and he had his arms around me. We pulled up to the club and I could hear the loud music from outside. I smiled and grabbed Chris’s hand. “Larissa was already dancing in line and Janae and Chloe seemed to be taking in the scene. We reached the front of the line and the bouncer took one look at my friends and gestured us  inside, I smiled and walked in with Chris close at my heels.

The club was dimly lit and hundreds of bodies were moving around to the beat of the music. “Bar?” Larissa  said grabbing my arms. I shook my head but followed her with the rest of the group. “Ill take an amaretto sour” I said to the bar tender. “Put it on my tab” a voice behind me. I turned to see Lance in dark blue jeans and a fitted purple shirt. “AH hey bro!” Larissa said giving Lance a hug  “you made it.” Lance frowned “you drunk Rissa?” “Not yet” she said trying to give an innocent smile. “Hey Lance, what are you doing here?” I asked confused. I was so angry, why was he here!? “Oh I forgot to tell you Ken” I looked over at Larissa confused. “Lance called me earlier asking what I was doing and I didn’t even know he was in town! So I told him to meet us here.” “Hmm” I said leaning into Chris. “Hey bro nice to see you again” Lance said shaking Chris’s hand. “You too bro” Chris said. “Babe dance with me” I said trying to avoid Lance’s gaze. Chris nodded at Lance and pulled me onto the dance floor. With my drink in one hand I grabbed Chris with the other and started moving against his body. Chris pulled me in closer and we swayed back and forth. I noticed Lance staring at me at the bar, I finished my drink and placed the cup at one of the nearby tables. “I love you baby” I said wrapping both hands around Chris’s neck. He laughed and his breath hit my neck “Are you drunk baby?” “Nope just tipsy, I need another drink” I said. He laughed and pulled me back towards the bar.

“Back already” Lance said with a breath taking smile. I sighed and looked at the bartender “Long island ice tea please.  Make it strong.” Lance laughed “might want to be careful K.” Chris pulled me closer to his side, “I got her.” I smiled and took a long sip of my drink. “Can we dance again?” I asked Chris. “Maybe later baby.” I frowned. “Hey Chris you mind if I take her up on that offer?” Lance asked and my mouth dropped open. “Umm yeah go ahead bro” Chris said looking at me for confirmation and I shrugged “just take care of my girl. Lance laughed and reached for my hand. I took another long sip of my drink and took his outstretched hand “I’ll be back baby.”

“Where are the girls?” I asked glancing around the club. Lance pointed to the middle of the floor where the girls were dancing and of course Larissa had a drink in her hand. “You look so perfect” he said placing his hands on my back. “Thanks. Why are you here?” I asked again. I stumbled a little and he caught me, “maybe you should stop drinking” he said sounding a little concerned. “Leave me alone” I said and started moving to the music. “Why are you here?” I asked again “I missed you K.” I grunted “Ugh Lance you can’t do this to me, I’m with Chris! I love Chris!” “You love me too” he said pulling me closer to his chest. I glanced at the bar and saw Chris looking at his phone. I sighed “Lance.” He leaned down and kissed me. I smacked his chest “Are you fucking crazy?! Chris and Larissa are both here!” he shrugged “We can always blame it on the alcohol.” I rolled my eyes and he smiled “Or we could just tell them tonight.” I was about to ask him if he was crazy again when I heard a familiar voice behind me, “Tell us what tonight?” I sucked in a breath and turned around and saw a confused Chris. I tried to smile

“Hey babe.”
