Dawn
The club is pack with gyrating bodies posing every second on the dance floor tonight. I watch from my seat at a nearby table, sipping my beer and getting bored out of my mind.
I turn to Scarlett. âWhy are we here again?â
She laughs. âBecause you need a night out and itâs not good to stay home, wallowing in your filth and sweat.â
My eyes roll. âFirst off, Iâm not wallowing. Second, you act like I donât shower. I shower.â
I take another sip, finishing off my bottle. âAnd third, youâre not going to get me out on the dance floor. No matter how hard you may try.â
âI wouldnât dare,â she says. âBut I recall a time when you were the one dragging me off kicking and screaming to one of these clubs. My, how things change.â
She grabs a handful of peanuts from a bowl and tossed back her head.
This is her ploy to get me to talk. I ignore it. She should understand why my feelings have changed.
The last time Iâve hooked up with a guy, it has ended terribly. It has taught me that a lot of men are nothing more than immature toddlers who only want to play games. I want nothing to do with those men anymore.
I chew on a handful of peanuts so I wonât be forced to discuss my feelings. Scarlett means well, but itâs hard to talk to a friend about my shitty love life, especially if that friendâs love life is the total opposite of whatâs going on with mine.
Looking everywhere but at her, I hope she gets the hint that I donât want to talk about it. Alas, sheâs a persistent woman when she feels the need to be. She touches my forearm to get my attention and pokes at it until I finally look at her.
âThere is something I want to tell you,â she starts.
Stifling a sigh, I ask, âWhat?â
She has a strange smirk on her lips. âXenos broke up with his girlfriend.â
I arch an eyebrow then quickly drop it. Iâm not even interested so Iâm not sure why she feels the need to bring it up. âAnd?â
âAnd rumor has it that you might have something do with it,â she continues.
Laughter suddenly bubbles out of me. âWell, if thatâs the case, then he sure as hell is a bigger fool than I give him credit for. I hardly know the guy. And to end a relationship just because of me? Well, that screams problems.â
I gobble up another handful of peanuts and ponder over what to say. While Iâm chewing, I forget the cardinal rule about not eating with my mouth open. âIâm sure you gathered this bit of gossip from Devon?â
She nods.
âWell, you can tell Devon that Iâm not interested in who Xenos is or isnât seeing. Heâs is not my problem.â I heave a sigh and secure my purse strap on my shoulder. âTata!â
âYouâre leaving?â She jumps up to stop me. âYou canât.â
âWhy not? Itâs a free world. Besides, I just want to crawl in bed and pull the covers over my head.
