I’d had a few days to settle into my new place and a lot of time to do nothing. Tonight, I was going out for the first time since I had moved.

We walked into NRG, a night club a few towns over. I wasn’t at all in the mood for this, but I didn’t know anyone at work, so when they had insisted I come out, what choice did I have?

After being completely shut down by Easton the other day, I could use a few drinks to unwind and let loose.

There were three other guys with me tonight and two girls, and although both of them were attractive, I wasn’t at all interested in mixing business with pleasure, at least not so soon. But we all got up on the dance floor after downing a couple of drinks.

Jane was getting a little too close for comfort, but before I could say anything, I was distracted by the sight of Easton out of the corner of my eye. I stared at her like a complete stalker. When I finally snapped out of it and decided to turn around to walk away before she could see me, Rhian spotted me. She leaned into Easton to say something in her ear. Easton’s eyes snapped up and locked with mine. I couldn’t decipher the look in them. But when she saw Jane grinding on me, I could almost read a hint of jealousy, but she quickly covered it up.

I debated on leaving, but instead, turned away and continued dancing with my new friends. I’d made my decision and moved here. There wasn’t much I could do about it now. Just because she didn’t want to see me didn’t mean I couldn’t have a good life in California.

It took everything in me to keep my head down and not look in her direction. Maybe she just needed some time, or perhaps I was just an idiot.

When we were all hot and sweaty, we made our way over to the bar to grab some more drinks. I opted for water since my buzz had died the second I’d laid eyes on Easton.

I leaned over the bar, waiting patiently to order, but my patience was wearing thin. A tap on my shoulder furthered my irritation. I whirled around. “Wait your tu—” I stopped mid-tirade when I found Easton standing in front of me.

She almost looked shy, which was a look I’d never seen on her before.

I swallowed hard around the lump in my throat. “Hey,” I shouted, hoping she could hear me over the music. I wasn’t sure what to say.

She seemed to hesitate before reaching out and hugging me. I froze. I hadn’t expected her to say hi, never mind want any contact. She started to pull back when I hadn’t reciprocated, but I snapped out of it quickly enough to wrap my arms around her. It felt good to have her in my arms, but I wasn’t going to jump to conclusions. When I finally pulled back, I didn’t let go, resting my hands low on her hips.
