Alec

THERE WAS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. I was well on the way to being drunk off my ass. Another stripper had come and gone, and because he hadn’t appealed to me, I was anxious about what would happen later. I wasn’t an idiot. Even though I would’ve been happy to go stag, I got the feeling that wasn’t gonna be an option. Not with the way my friends were watching my reaction with every new performance.

Sean and Eric had come by with Elijah before Eric informed us, much to Elijah's embarrassment, that they had to go set him up with “the hottest of hot, bald waiters.” Elijah was cute, but off my list of possibilities if he was after someone else.

“Are you okay?” Beau asked when I came close to falling off my chair while trying to rest my elbow on the table.

“Yep, but I think I'm kinda wasted.” With an uncanny ability to swallow things without so much as gagging, I tended to pour liquids down my throat faster than most.

“Well I can see that some of you have been celebrating with our very lethal but delicious cocktails.” Theo accentuated his statement with a saucy smile, staring right at me. “Speaking of all things celebratory, a little birdy tells me it’s your twenty-first birthday. Alec, is it?”

I gaped the second the spotlight hit my face, blinded for a second till I shaded my eyes.

“Um, yep.”

“Where’re you from, Alec?”

“Jacksonville, but I was born in Atlanta.”

Theo grinned. “You’re an Atlanta boy, huh? That’s great. Be sure to check out our club next time you’re there.”

“No problem.”

Theo then encouraged the audience to join him in singing me a happy birthday, and I cursed under my breath. What made things worse was how fucking loud Beau and Carter got as they yelled every word.

The whole while everyone’s attention was on me, my face burned hot with embarrassment until, to my relief, the torture ended.

“Thanks everyone.” I prayed the nightmare was over.

“You’re welcome. And since you’ve been such a good sport, the staff here at Roosters would like to gift you with a private dance,” Theo announced in an all-too-enthusiastic voice.

I shook my head. “Nah, I’m good.”

Theo’s smile faded, and a look of determination took over. “You’ll be even better when you get that dance. All you have to do is let Johnny over there know who you choose in the next few minutes and he'll get your prize arranged for you, all right?” He pointed toward the bar, where Johnny stood, grinning from ear-to-ear. The spotlight went off at the same time Theo turned his attention toward the rest of the room. Johnny brought another round of drinks and sat down. Choosing to go for the water instead, I poured myself a glass and chugged it down, and began to feel better.

“Congrats, Alec. So, who do you think the lucky guy is gonna be?” Johnny asked.

“No idea. Do I have to do this?”

Carter looked at me like I was insane. “Are you kidding me right now? Anyone else in this room would kill to get a free private dance.
