don’t have much to tell other than what we already know. He and Amelia broke up at the airport and he doesn’t really seem hurt, or even bothered, by it.”
“That’s because he never really wanted that girl,” Patrice said, “He was using her to get to you.”
“Now that’s just crazy speculation,” I countered. “We don’t know what was going on between the both of them and it was obviously serious if he planned on putting a ring on her finger. It was a lot more than he ever offered me.”
Patricia shrugged, “All I know is that a ring never touched her finger, and here he is in Vegas, with us…alone. Here you are in Vegas…alone. Sounds like his plan is coming together if you ask me...”
“I’m not alone; I have the both of you.”
“You know what she means,” Jasmine said narrowing her eyes at me as she poured me a glass of champagne. “You need a drink because your brain isn’t working right.”
“Shut up,” I said as I took a long sip of the delicious champagne.
“You’re such a lush,” Jasmine giggled, “But we love you anyway.”
I laughed, “Hey sometimes I just need some outside help to calm down and don’t act like you and vodka aren’t very good friends.”
“Well I never said that, but we aren’t talking about me right now,” she said.
“It’s no secret that we ladies love our alcohol,” Patrice joined in, “But when you have a life like ours, you need it. The key is that we don’t overdo it , that is how we stay pretty,” she said as she ran her fingers through her hair.
“Well we don’t overdo it when we’re in Atlanta,” I said, “But we’re in Vegas baby! Fuck moderation,” I said as I downed the rest of the glass.
“I hear that,” Jasmine said as she poured the three of us another glass.
We had a great evening of drinking and fun. All of us got together with our friends earlier than we expected. We all had a late lunch at the Casino and reminisced on the days when life was easier. Granted we didn’t have much money then, but we had a lot more time to enjoy each others company. Now when we all got together it was to talk about business, contracts, and new leads. So it was really nice to be able to kick back, relax, and laugh.
That night we went club and bar hopping. I did my best to stay out of Kenneth’s way, but surprisingly enough he wasn’t acting as wild as I expected him to. He was pretty mild and he just stuck to the bar and spent his time talking to everyone in our circle. I’d seen women shamelessly flirt with him but he never took the bait.

The next morning, I rolled over in my huge bed and refused to get up. Ordering breakfast was going to be our only option because there was no way in hell that I was going to leave our suite before noon. We had to recover from the night before so that we could do it all over again. There is nothing like a vacation to show you just how short weekends really are. We would all be headed back to Atlanta tomorrow evening. I wasn’t ready; I wanted to play a whole lot more.
The sound of my phone endlessly buzzing pulled me out of my dazed state. I saw that it was Joshua and it made me smile.
“Good morning babe,” I said with all of the enthusiasm that I could muster at 10 in the morning.
“ Hey,” he said warily.
‘Oh goodness, here we go,’ I thought to myself.
“How is everything going back in ATL? I know that this is a pretty busy weekend for you. I wish that you were here with me,” I said ignoring his tone.
“Yes, I wish that I was there with you too,” he said. “What happened to you calling me back last night?”
“The clubs and bars were so loud and we didn’t get back until about 4 and I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“How is Ken doing?” he asked.
“He seems to be doing just fine,” I laughed.
“Oh really?” he said.
He got quiet on the line. He seemed
