We walked into the place the music was electric and made the space seem alive. It was posh and high class. There were three large crystal chandeliers that hung low from the ceiling. The dimmed lights added to the effect of the radiant purple lit bar. There were small round plush leather couches like the ones from the 30’s that had small round tables in the middle. The bar had to be the focal point seeing how it glowed purple with its own tinier versions of the chandeliers that hung from the ceiling. Small black leather stools surrounded the bar with little candles that lit your seating area.
I could see a small corner near the end of bar, marked reserved. Both Kaci and I looked over at Roxi who nodded.
“Yes!” we cried. It felt good walking in my new extremely high heels making that tapping noise on the black stone floor. It made me feel like a real woman, sexy and alive, my confidence finally coming back from this afternoon’s fiasco with the Suit.
Once we sat down Roxi called over the barman, “Hey Jaks.” He smiled. “These are my girls, Lexi and Kaci and we are here to get loaded!” We laughed at her.
“Do you guys want to have wine?” He asked, all three of us looked at each other and shook are heads no.
“VODKA!” We cried in unison.
“Alright girls.” He laughed “One bottle of Grey Goose coming up.” I don’t think so.
“Sorry Jaks make it Belvedere.” He nodded. Both of girls looked at me. “What? I hate Grey Goose.” The music was amazing; the bar had a live dj that was mixing together Nu and acid jazz.
We finally got our bottle with all the trimmings.
Kaci did the first pour, “So you know the moment you left he ran after you.” Roxi started.
“What?” I looked at her.
“Yeah when you waved goodbye and didn’t even look at him he lost his mind. He grabbed his jacket and ran right after you.” Kaci added.
“He asked me why you didn’t serve him and I said you weren’t feeling well, so you reduced your tables by giving one to me.” Kaci said as she lifted her drink to her lips.
“Look guys seriously he has a girlfriend and I’m not interesting in getting involved with that. Plus have you seen him? He’s way out of my league, like crazy stupid out of my league.” Roxi hit my once in the back of the head.
“Bitch, have you seen yourself clearly? No correction have you seen the amount of men in this room right now who are thinking about diving in and eating out your pussy?” She said bluntly. I grabbed my drink and took a long swig.
“It’s not her fault, guys don’t always approach her.” Kaci coming to my rescue “She looks like she’s a man eater. Like a female prey mantis that rips the head of her lover when she done.” Screw you Kaci.
“Guys I’m right here, you mind leaving me what little dignity I have left?” I waved at both of them.
Roxi put her drink down. “Are you going to shut up now?” She asked.
I knew that look, “Roxi don’t fuck around and do something to embarrass me I’m going to walk all over you with my heels!” I threatened. She stopped and looked at me.
“Niccce, grrrr!” She growled clawing at me. Kaci and I started to laugh, “Seriously stop!” I begged still laughing.
“But you just gave me an incentive.” She pouted giving me the puppy eyes again, she then started to whimper.
“Ah listen! That face and those sounds belong to Peter, your husband, so stop looking at me like that I’m not him” I put my hands up to her. We all laughed and began drinking again.
I grabbed my drink letting the vodka slowly trickle down my throat burning as it went along, damn that’s good.
“So why are we here today?”
“Apparently there’s a new landlord who bought all the properties around here, my sister saw him and told me to tell you guys and I quote ‘Dickilicious’ He coming here tonight to meet my bro-in-law, so who knows maybe one of you can score big.” She smiled devilishly.
“He bought all these properties?” I circled my finger in the air.
“Yeah he did. I don’t know much about him just that he’s some big wig and that he’s super loaded and is big into buying property everywhere.”
Kaci and I shrugged as Roxi was pulled into a bear hug from her brother-in-law. He was a nice guy, her sister was seriously lucky to have found him.
“So ladies what are we drinking?” He asked.
“VODKA!” We screamed again and laughed. I was starting to feel light headed so I knew it was time to slow down. I called Jaks over and ordered a bottle of water.
“So who’s this guy?” Roxi asked her brother-in-law.
