CHAPTER THIRTEEN

It’s a beautiful, starry night, as we stroll the streets of downtown Gatlinburg. Rows of little shops flank both sides of the narrow two-lane road. Restaurants, candy shops, and novelty stores wind through the quaint little valley town. We’re dressed to the nines and already buzzed from the two bottles of wine we devoured during dinner.

Artie rubs his belly. “The meal was incredible, Lana!” Giving her props for her restaurant choice.

“This whole trip has been incredible!” I add, grabbing her around the neck. “You did us good, girl!”

She beams with pride. “I have to admit, it has been a pretty awesome trip if I do say so myself!”

The bass bumps off the buildings as we walk toward the entrance of the club.

“Let the games begin!” Davis yells as he holds the door open for us. “Let’s show this place how to party!”

Thankfully, the lady attending the door was the perfect victim for Davis’s irresistible charm, because we’re able to slip Lana through unnoticed. The club is packed, the music is loud, and the drinks are flowing. The distinct smell of chocolate mixed with cigarette smoke wafts through the air. We manage to score two high top tables close to the dimly lit dance floor, as Santos buys us all a round of shots.

He returns with six blue, flashing, souvenir shot glasses that read, “Everything’s Better in the Smokies.”

I take a sniff. “Oh, Lord! What are these?”

He laughs. “They’re Red Headed Sluts. I cock my head, leery.

“They’re good. I promise.”

“Before we drink, I’d like to make a toast.” Artie raises his shot in the air. “To my incredibly sweet, incredibly beautiful, girlfriend Lana, for planning this amazing weekend for us.”

He gives her a quick kiss as Ashley yells, “Hell Yeah!”

“And to my hard-working comrades, who I am proud to call friends for life!”

Everyone raises their glasses in the air. “Wait! I’d like to add one more,” Lana pipes. “To Kate! My amazing best friend and partner in crime. We may not be sisters by blood, but we certainly are at heart. Here’s to many more crazy adventures together!”

“Cheers, everyone!” There’s a tug in my heart as the six of us clink our glasses and drink.

I shiver from the taste of the shot and grimace as I choke it down. “Oh my God! There was Jager in that!”

“Yep!” Santos laughs, enjoying my torment.

“Disgusting!” Ashley coughs out.

Davis surveys the crowd as he slams his shot glass on the table. “I have dibs on the next round!”

By all appearances, with three girls and three guys, it looks as though our group is all paired up. So to avoid raining on Davis’s chick parade, I purposely plant myself between Lana and Ashley.

Sure enough, it only takes a few minutes before the ladies begin their gravitational pull towards him.

“Scouring the room for your next victim?” I yell across the table, over the music.

“Yep! I’ve got my eyes set on the big tit duo sitting at the bar.”

“Well. Happy hunting!” I say sarcastically, as one of the girls heads our way.
