Chapter Nine
Autumn
I grabbed Jessie as she walked past the bar.
âDo you have a sec?â
She looked at me and nodded. âI was just coming to find you! Whatâs up?â
I pulled her toward a quiet corner. âJessie, oh my god! My professor was here last night!â
âWhat? Did he recognize you?â
I shook my head. âNo, butâbut heâs the hot guy! Heâs the hot guy that was right in front!â
She gasped. âAre you serious?â
âYes. Iâm freaking out. What if he comes back? I donât think I can do that again!â
âWhat, see him?â
âNo, dance!â
Jessie made a nervous face.
I stopped.
âWhyâwhy are you looking at me like that?â
âBecause, uh, I was trying to find you to tell you that somebody was looking for you.â
I groaned.
âIn room six,â she said. âDown that hall. Are you up for it?â
âOkay.â I sighed heavily. âAll right. Let me go get this over with.â
She smiled faintly. âGood luck.â
I nodded.
I needed it.
I walked down the hall to where the private rooms were. They were still monitored, still under the tyrannical authority of blue laws, but they were quiet. I took a deep breath and opened the door.
A group of guys were there. They looked college-aged, dressed in snapbacks and polo shirts.
They looked at me in confusion.
One of them looked at the one next to him. âThatâs not Jasmine.â
The other guy nodded. âYeah, uh, we asked for Jasmine. Not you?â
I blinked. âOh, Iâsorry.â
Wow.
I closed the door, heart in my throat. That wasnât the reaction Iâd wanted. Granted, I didnât want to be going into a private room at all, but I felt sick from the way theyâd looked at me.
I knew I wasnât built like a dancer, but damn.
I lifted my head, taking a deep breath. I wasnât going to cry, I told myself. I focused on the door across from me instead.
There was a large six stenciled on the front.
I blinked.
I turned and looked at the door Iâd just come out of.
Five.
How had I gotten that turned around?
I pulled myself together and took a deep breath, crossing the hall and opening the door to the room.
It was him, my professor, again.
He sat on the couch in the private room. A bottle of champagne was open on the table in front of him.
There was only one glass, currently in his hand.
I hesitantly closed the door.
I wasnât wearing a mask tonight. There was no way he wouldnât recognize me.
âAutumn.â
My name sounded so good when said it.
I bit my lower lip. âHi.â
âI thought it was you. I apologize for not saying anything after class.â
I shook my head. âIâm glad you didnât.â
âReally?â
âYeah, that wouldâve embarrassed me.â
âHm.â
He took a sip of his champagne.
I swallowed. âYouâ¦wanted to see me?â
âI did. Youâve been on my mind since last night.â
âOh.â I didnât know Iâd made that much of an impression. But knowing heâd been thinking about me was a hell of a turn-on. âHow did you know I was here?â
âI saw the other girl. I asked if you were here and she said yes.â
âOh.â
I wasnât sure whether to thank Jessie, or kill her.
