wrinkled.
“We can discuss it later.” I grinned.
He sauntered toward the bouncer. They exchanged a few words, then we walked inside. The blaring music pulsated my body. I ran my fingers over the black walls.
“Do you come here often?”
“Enough. My friend Sebastian owns the place. He and his wife are upstairs in V.I.P. I wanted you to meet them.”
“Ok.”
I scanned the bodies, molding together on the dance floor. My hips wiggled to the beat as Collin and I walked upstairs.
A handsome man threw his hand in the air.
Collin waved as we approached. “Hey, Sebastian.”
He stood and gave Collin a bro hug.
A woman around my height stood and stretched her hand toward me.
Her beautiful brown face lit up as our men introduced us.
Collin pulled me beside him as we sat on the oversized plush burnt orange sofa surrounding an orange wooden table. I scanned the beautiful club. Rectangular mirrors hung from the ceiling on either side. Orange fixtures dangled throughout. We had the perfect view of the spacious dance floor downstairs. I loved the pair of intimate candles resting on each table. The space felt inviting.
The waiter approached, and Sebastian ordered champagne.
“My husband mentioned you’re from Alaska. How do you like it here so far?” Her gorgeous eyes slanted as her purple lips widened.
“Yes. I am from Talkeetna, Alaska. I was Collin’s tour guide.”
“Do you plan to return?”
“Not sure. I like L.A., it’s just very fast paced. I don’t have any friends, yet.”
It clicked as the words fell from my lips. Collin sought out a black woman who could possibly become my friend. It was thoughtful of him. The brief interaction Sydney and I shared was refreshing. We clicked. She was so easy to talk to. I wondered how long Collin and Sebastian knew each other.
“Are you ok?” Sydney’s smile dropped.
“Yes, I just realized Collin didn’t want me to be alone, so he introduced us.” I rubbed my brow.
Sydney rubbed my hand. “Nothings wrong with that. I’m from Atlanta, Georgia. Sebastian followed me out here.”
My jaw slacked. “Really?”
“Yes.”
Collin massaged my waist. It was hard to explain, but I felt comfortable with them right away.
The waiter returned and poured us each a glass of wine.
“I’d like to propose a toast.” Collin peeked at me.
We held our glasses high.
“I had to fight off the local guys. I was able to persuade this beautiful woman to leave her life and move to L.A. with me. I’m a lucky man. Here’s to great friends and a wonderful woman to spend the rest of my days with.”
My cheeks heated.
Our glasses clanked. “Cheers,” rang out around the table.
I drank half the champagne in a gulp.
Twenty minutes later, I was still engrossed in a conversation with Sydney.
“You’ll have to come over. My cousin Samantha and Sebastian’s cousin’s wife Lydia would love to meet you. We’ll have a light lunch at my house. I think I should warn you now my cousin is married to Jacob Latters.”
I threw my hands over my mouth. “What?” My eyes burned. I thought they’d pop out of the sockets.
“Are you serious?”
“As a heart attack.”
“Wow. I love his show.”
“I’ll get tickets from Jacob so you and Collin can visit the set.”
I screamed and ran to the other side of the table, hugging her tight. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
I sat back in my seat. “Sydney, I can’t believe you have children at home and you two still came out last minute to spend time with us. Most importantly, you’re inviting me into your circle. You both are so thoughtful.” Tears welled in my eyes.
“I can see the spark in your eye. You don’t take anyone’s shit.”
I dabbed at my eyes.
“Sydney, she doesn’t. The day she arrived in L.A. Kara gave the waitress a piece of her mind at lunch.”
“She was flirting with my man right in front of me. The nerve.”
A devilish smile curled Sydney’s lips. “Sebastian, I love her.” Her eyes never left mine. Was she plotting something?
“She’s a woman after my own heart.”
He flashed his pearly whites. “Baby, don’t get any ideas.”
An evil spark flashed in her brown eyes. “Ever shot a gun before?”
“Of course, I have. My dad and I hunt deer. I carry a shotgun on my overnight trips on tours. Never know what wild animal might decide to attack.”
“Yeah, she’s a tough one,” Collin chuckled.
“Good. We sometimes hangout at the gun range in my cousin’s basement. You know, just brushing up on our skills.”
“Sounds like fun.”
I glanced at Sebastian. “Collin’s condo is absolutely to die for. I love the view from the
