“He is fine as hell. Got- damn!”
“I told you.”
“I see why you came to this club now. If he isn’t the perfect rebound guy I don’t know what is.”
I frowned at Kesha’s choice of words. It reminded me that I was on the rebound from Rick and at the thought of Rick, made my stomach turned upside down.
A few other people in the VIP section pulled Amir away. He said he’d be right back and I watched as he interacted with everyone. He was damn near perfect. He was wearing grey-black jeans that fell low on his waist although a black Gucci belt was supposed to be holding them up. He had on a simple black, long sleeve shirt that was accentuated by the thick chain around his neck that was bright enough to light up the entire VIP section. I was intrigued by his every move and how everyone seemed to be bidding for his attention, particularly a short girl with an auburn pixie haircut. While he shook hands, and hugged people, she seemed to be on his heel with every step he took.
“He’s Mr. Popular, huh?” Lake said, reading my mind.
“I guess so.” I tried to swallow the rising jealousy. I’d only come out to this club tonight because Amir invited me. Although I didn’t expect to get his undivided attention, that didn’t stop me from wanting it.
I turned away from watching him and walked over to the tall glass windows that looked over the entire club. It was packed down there tonight and I was glad to be in the VIP area. One of the main reasons I hated going out to clubs was because there was hardly ever any breathing room. Plus, Club Aqua was one of the hottest clubs in Dallas.
Kesha walked over to me and looked down over the club. “Everybody and their mama in here tonight.” I nodded my head in agreement and to the beat of the music. “His boy, Marcus, is trying to get at Lake,” she said. “He’s cute though.”
I looked back at the biggest table in the VIP area where Marcus was seated. He was being greeted by a scantily clad woman with a long ombre weave but his attention was on Lake. He was definitely Lake’s type but she couldn’t see anyone but Greg. She stood by Marcus’ side and gave us a look that said “rescue me”.
“Girl, Lake don’t know what to do with that man,” I laughed.
Finally, the waitress returned with the drinks and Amir walked back over to Kesha and me with drinks in hand. As soon as I got mine, I took it straight to the head knowing that was a bad idea seeing as though I hadn’t eaten anything other than a bag of potato chips earlier today. Not to mention, I was drinking heavy liquor on top of the pill I’d gotten from Lake. That had to be a no-no. But I didn’t care about any of that. Not tonight, at least. I was going to let my hair down and do all the things I never did when I was someone’s wife.
Amir quickly signaled for the waitress to bring another round of drinks and Kesha left the VIP section for the dance floor downstairs once one of her favorite songs came on.
Once she was gone, Amir took her place next to me. He leaned in close and said, “Sorry about that. I haven’t seen a lot of these people in years. I just moved back here from the H.”
I nodded my head and felt foolish for feeling jealous earlier. “Well, everyone seems happy to see you.”
He shrugged, sipped his beer, and looked me up and down, “I’m happy to see you.”
“Well, thanks for inviting me.”
“You look beautiful,” he said.
I could feel my cheeks go hot. “Thank you.”
He shook his head and chuckled but didn’t say anything else.
“What?” I had to know what was so funny.
He looked like he was about to say something but the waitress returned with another round of drinks. A second waitress stood behind her with a tray full of shots ordered by Marcus. After I drank the second drink and the shot, I felt like I was floating.
Lake walked up to us with two shots in her hand.
“Marcus is cool,” she said to Amir.
“He likes you,” Amir said
“I told you.”
“I see why you came to this club now. If he isn’t the perfect rebound guy I don’t know what is.”
