Greyson (Lightening Series Book One)

Chapter Thrity Three

It was great sadness for me that there was unfortunately no grizzly men in Candylicious. It was like someone was trying to prove a point against me, all the men were smelling nice and freshly groomed, dressed to perfection. I'm still waiting for the strippers to come out, I've never been in a club with the name Candy in the branding that hasn't had a strip show.

"So are we going to dance?" Kate spoke a little loudly into my ear as I drank my Pornstar Martini making me recoil slightly.

"Are you trying to burst my ear drums?" I asked back just as loudly causing her eyes to roll before focusing back onto me, "My answer is the same as it was two minutes ago, no." I smiled sarcastically lifting my glass back to my lips.

"Emily will you just please stop being like this and just have fun with me?" She groaned with a plead making me lock eyes to her, a frown was playing on her face. "We were inseparable before New York, I barely seen you when you moved there and then you come home and anything you needed help with, I was there. Is it really that bad that I just want to have fun with my best friend like we did before? The last time I checked, neither of us are in relationships. So why can't we just have a dance with a few people and laugh? Why is that so bad?" She spoke more quietly now but I still heard her clearly over the music that bounced through our veins.

"I'm sorry I'm just being a bitch." I frowned, "You know what your right, we're both single and we're head to have fun so let's do that. I promise I won't be sarcastic no more." I compromised easily because in some drastic way, Kate was right.

She was always there for me through the ups and downs, she was more like my sister than my best friend. She knew so much about me that she can use that shit for ransom. She never judges and I know that she always has my back through good and bad.

Maybe she was right. We both aren't in relationships and I'm entitled to have fun, I owe an explanation to no one but I couldn't help but feel like I did. I wasn't going to make out with a random guy for the sake of it, if Grey wanted to do that with someone else then that was fine but that wasn't my style. I'm not a teenager anymore but clearly age doesn't always bring maturity.

Do I think I would find myself someone that I want to share my life with in this club? Absolutely not. Any man that comes to a club with this name was definitely not that kind of material. I didn't need attention to feel wanted and maybe that's sometimes the difference between me and Kate. She's never had a solid relationship, her last one ended very ugly and she lost self confidence. Maybe she needs this to make her feel beautiful in some way.

As her best friend, I would always tell her she's gorgeous because truly she is. I would kill to have her runway looks but she doesn't see that, she plays it off all the time but the moment a man tells her that she swoons.

She wanted to be loved by someone and she deserves it more than anything but she didn't deserve to feel like nothing but a one night stand, that's all she would get from this. She would think it was something that was wrong with her, that she was at fault but really she missed the signals all along. Men that come to a place like this wore their dicks on their sleeves, not their hearts.

However, we were also standing in this wannabe stripper club so I guess that doesn't say much for us either does it?

"It's fine I forgive you, now can we please dance our asses of so we can be invited up into one of those VIP areas?" She pleaded with puppy dog eyes causing a laugh to erupt from my chest as I gulped the last of my drink like a pro.

"I don't think either of us are that good at dancing, unless you want to strip? They'll think happy hour is starting." I smirked as she looked at me confused, "Nothing Kate, come on let's dance." I laughed pulling her to the dance floor swaying my hips the whole way.
