I must've slept another eight hours because it was already dark when I woke up again. I didn't feel nearly as sick but I wasn't a hundred percent yet. I left the bathroom to find the hotel room was empty. I assumed that the girls went out for dinner so I plopped down on the bed and turned on the TV.
Before I could even settle on something to watch, the front door opened. Laughter filled the room as the girls stormed inside. "Oh Abigail! Are you finally feeling better?" Julie asked.
"Yeah a lot better. I think I can actually go out tonight as long as there's no alcohol involved," I said, drinking gallons of water.
"Perfect! Well get ready then because we have another show to go see!"
"Okay okay," I moaned, lifting myself off the bed.
I went to the closet and picked out a black dress that I bought specifically for Vegas. It made my tits look like they were going to burst out of my top. It took me more than an hour to fix my face from all the damage I did to it the night before. Once I was satisfied with my look, we went downstairs and into a limo.
"Where are we going this time? I asked. "Strip club?"
"No we thought we would do something tame since you went so crazy last night."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "That's exactly what I wanted."
We pulled up to the Luxor Hotel which was a great pyramid with a big spotlight shooting straight up from its peak. On one whole side of the hotel there was a big picture of my stepdad and next to it said: "Jacob the Mystical".
"Well if you haven't guessed, we're going to see your stepdad perform!" Liliana exclaimed.
Seeing my stepdad wasn't exactly the way I imagined I'd be spending my birthday. But I had never seen him before so it could be cool.
We got to the show and took our seats. The lights dimmed and the loudspeakers came on with a booming voice, "Welcome to the show! Clear your heads and let Jacob the Mystical captivate your minds!" With that, the curtains fell and there was a bright explosion. Jacob entered the stage and everyone clapped loudly. He was very handsome with dark hair and piercing brown eyes. He didn't look like the usual magician with the black tux and top hat. He just wore pants with a nice button-up shirt.
The beginning of the show was pretty generic. Jacob did a few card tricks and escaping from handcuffs. He also cut a girl in half which was pretty lame. I'd seen all that stuff a million times before. My stepdad wasn't very impressive.
Jacob announced, "Okay ladies and gentlemen, onto the main event! I know this is what you've been waiting for!" Everyone cheered and clapped.
I felt like I was the only person in the room that didn't know what he was talking about. "Now I will need a volunteer from the audience," Jacob said.
Suddenly, all my friends pointed at me, "Pick her! It's her birthday!" Jacob saw all the commotion and locked eyes on me. He smiled at me and I did a small wave. The spotlight went from Jacob to me and everyone clapped. I was pretty embarrassed and I didn't even know what I was volunteering for.
"Don't be shy," Jacob waved for me to come up. "I'm not going to bite."
I didn't want to go up there but everyone was cheering for me so I hesitantly got out of my seat and walked up to the stage. Jacob took my hand and helped me up the steps. "Well hello there beautiful!" Jacob proclaimed. There were a few men that whistled at me from the audience.
"What's your name?" Jacob asked, putting a microphone in my face.
The spotlight was blinding my eyes and I could barely see the crowd. "Um, my name is Abigail."
"Abigail's a great name. Now where are you from?"
"Uhh California," I replied.
"Anyone else from California?" Jacob asked the audience. There were a lot of cheers and I could tell that some of them were my friends.
"Okay then, Abigail, have you ever been hypnotized before?"
Now I knew exactly what I was volunteering for. "No I haven't."
"Great! Now my lovely assistant will bring out this comfy chair." Just then a beautiful model came out, rolling a big red leather chair. "Now Abigail, I want you to sit in the chair and get as comfortable as possible."
I walked towards the red chair and took a seat. It was really comfortable and it felt like a chair that I used to sit in at my Grandma's house.
Very theatrically, Jacob walked around the stage waving his hands, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will attempt to hypnotize this woman into becoming my slave. She will have to do whatever I ask of her." Jacob stopped in front of me and whispered, "I didn't know you would be coming."
