A half hour later, Miguel’s two childhood friends from Florida, Dennis and Sebastian, met us at the bar, and they were a blast! After downing a few more rounds of drinks and some sushi platters, we piled into Miguel’s limo and club-hopped through the Meatpacking District. We received world-class VIP treatment wherever we went. What would Ruby Smith have to say about all of this?

Actually, what would anyone have to say about all of this? It was a night like this that made me actually happy to still be a woman-child. The Mommy Dearest from high school I bumped into at Katie’s grand opening couldn’t do this. She met her husband; she had her kids, and her life is over, all by the age of twenty-seven. Bor-ing!

“I bet you’ve never gone clubbing like this!” Miguel screamed in my ear as we danced to the techno.

“Nooooo,” I giggled. I was very drunk at that point. I couldn’t even tell you what club we were at; the pulsating strobe light blended everything together. I felt as if the music was carrying me to a place far from there.

“You’re gorgeous,” Miguel commented, holding me close. It felt incredible to be in his arms, and his saying things like that didn’t help my transient state.

I slightly pulled away to look him in the eyes. “Really?” How could a creature so beautiful think the same of me?

“I want to kiss you so badly,” he whispered. My body started to quake. I leaned into his ear to whisper the same to him, but something stopped me. It was the same something that had stopped me from going “all the way” with every guy leading up to Mark. As much as I wanted to make out with Miguel, I knew I couldn’t. How could I hook up with him knowing he was married, with three young children?

“Aren’t you married?” I asked.

“Carla, really?” Miguel said angrily, pulling away from me. “You know how to kill the mood.”

I draped my arms around his neck and pulled him back close, desperate to recapture the moment. I again looked him in the eye. “If I didn’t know you were married I would be all over you right now. But I saw you with your ring today.”

“No ring now,” he said, flashing his empty ring finger.

“I know, but…”

“What if I told you I was getting a divorce?”

I wanted to believe that in the worst way. But how could I? “I would say you were lying.”

“I’m lying?” He snapped his fingers towards Dennis, who immediately broke his embrace with some supermodel-looking girl, and ran over to us.

“Dennis, am I getting a divorce?” Miguel shouted over the music. “Tell Carla what’s going on.”

“Yeah, it was just finalized on Wednesday,” Dennis shrugged. “The news will hit the papers next week.”

Miguel motioned for him to go back to his friend and looked at me smugly. “You see?” He hugged me close. “I wouldn’t lie to you. I have to wear the ring until next week.
