They laughed and played until Jess’s tummy rumbled and they went to get breakfast
Chapter Eight
Jess thought she should maybe feel guilty for messaging Brandon and not calling him to say she was spending the whole weekend with her friends. She hadn’t even checked her phone since early this morning. The problem was she knew if she heard his voice she would miss him, and if he asked her not to stay with her friends and be with him instead she’d cave. As much as she loved Travis and Zeck they weren’t Brandon. Jess was having fun with Zeck and Travis, but Jess loved being with Brandon. He made her feel attractive and sexy. She loved how he spoke to her and how whenever he was with her he had to be touching her, even if it was only just holding her hand.
“Guess what I got us.” Travis’s excited voice snapped her out of her day-dreaming about Brandon.
“What did you get?”
Travis grinned and gave her a card as she looked down, frowning. It was a fake ID. It said she was twenty-one a week ago. Jess saw that Zeck held one, too. “Where did you get these?”
Travis tapped his noise. “I’m not going to tell. I have my sources. Just enjoy them.” His eyes grew bright. “Let’s go out and enjoy them tonight.”
Jess was unsure. She wasn’t one to break the rules. Sure she went to house parties and drank, but going to a nightclub was different. “I’m not sure, Travis. What if they don’t work?”
“They are really good, Jess. He also made us all twenty-one, so it is a bit more realistic, and we kept similar names.”
The pleading in Zeck’s voice had her caving, and Jess admitted they were really good fake IDs. “Okay, but you have to promise me you won’t leave me if either of you find female company.”
Zeck pulled her in for a hug. “I promise at least one of us will be with you.”
“I won’t leave you, I promise,” Travis said beside her.
Jess sighed. It was better than nothing. “Fine. Give me half an hour to get ready. If I’m going to look twenty-one I need to be in heels and dressed right. You two are lucky I brought going out clothes in case we got invited to a party.”
They both nodded, clearly just happy she’d agreed.
Over an hour later she didn’t know if agreeing had been the best decision. They stood in a line for a club called Skin. Jess thought it looked tacky, but Zeck and Travis had both been eager to go. Jess was shivering with the cool night breeze. The outfit she’d chosen was knee high boots that Britney had picked and bought with her and a blue and black dress that hugged her curves. She’d left her hair out and scrunched it so it had more of a wave to it.
Jess had liked the reaction the boys had given her. Travis had been speechless for a moment until Zeck put his foot in. “Holy crap, Jess. I never knew you could look like that. Wow, you are fuckworthy.”
Travis had groaned. “Really, Zeck. You need a filter sewn to your big mouth.”
Zeck had stuck his middle finger up and winked at her.
Jess now glared at the two men beside her. Neither offered her a jacket or even held her for warmth. “Idiots,” she muttered, but they didn’t seem to hear her or else they were deliberately ignoring her. She was an idiot to agree to this. Now she was waiting in line freezing her tits off.
After waiting in line for over an hour they got into the club, and the bouncer didn’t even bat an eyelid at their IDs. The club was smaller than she first thought, but no one seemed to mind as they moved on the packed dance floor to music that blasted around them.
Zeck dragged her to the bar and ordered drinks for them. They hadn’t been in the club long when an enchantingly beautiful woman strolled over to them and went straight to Zeck. Zeck’s eyes almost bugged out of his head at the attention from the stunning woman.
Jess wasn’t sure about her. The fine hairs rose on her body, and Jess’s stomach felt uneasy as the woman draped herself over her friend. The thing that made Jess even more uncomfortable was that the woman wasn’t really looking at Zeck. Her eyes were on Jess.
The uneasy feeling multiplied when another woman came over. She was perfect, so beautiful it almost hurt to look at her. This one captured Travis’s attention.
“You did well, little human. I’m going to reward you.” The woman’s voice was sultry as she trailed her fingertips down Travis’s chest.
Jess had no idea what the woman was talking about, but as Jess glanced at her friends she noticed both their eyes were glazed over. Getting a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach, Jess knew she had to get her friends away from these women.
Pulling on Zeck’s arm she forced a smile on her face. “Come on, Zeck. I want to dance. Dance with me.” He didn’t move. He didn’t acknowledge her. Not daring to turn her back she tugged on Travis. “Travis, come on and dance with me. You said you wouldn’t leave me.” He seemed to hear her, but the woman grabbed his face and kissed him.
