Chapter Thirteen

Six Months Earlier…

I should have seen my late arrival to Atlantic City as a sign I wasn’t meant to go. Besides Cole trying to keep me in bed, I found myself floundering in order to meet my friends in time. First, I ran out of gas on the way back to my place and hiked it the couple of miles to the nearest gas station. After finally arriving at my apartment, I scrambled to make up for lost time. In my haste of tossing a few clothes in an overnight bag and running out of the door, I’d forgotten my wallet. After a good ten miles of highway driving, I realized my mistake and turned my car around to retrieve it.

Lexi and Autumn had left the day before and were spending two nights in Atlantic City with Blake and his friends. Neither had classes or work on Fridays, but since I had both, I couldn’t stay as long as my friends. The college’s spring semester had started only last week, in mid-January, and I couldn’t already skip out on my classes.

Atlantic City was a bit of a hike from Fairfort, but I made good time and got there in less than two hours. Autumn had texted me directions to the bar where I was to meet her. The tentative plan was to bounce around a few local clubs and maybe gamble a little at the casinos. The pro football players got the VIP treatment so they had reserved private seating in all of the local clubs.

I felt like a cliché, but once I pulled into the parking garage of the club I texted Cole a message to let him how I missed him already and then followed up with a winky face. I didn’t wait for his reply since I figured he wouldn’t hear his phone until after Trojan Jedi was done practicing for the night.

Locking up my car, I ran as steadily as I could in three-inch heels across the parking garage. I left my jacket in the car since I figured the club would feel stifling once I was inside. I had done a quick change after Cole’s apartment and wore a mid-thigh black skirt, silver heels and a shimmery tank top. I’d done my makeup in the car and I was sure I’d have raccoon eyes before the night was over.

The club, Night Owl, had opened less than a month ago and by the crowds of people hanging around the front, it was apparently the popular spot to be. After getting carded at the door, I snaked around the crush of bodies to try and locate the VIP area.

I couldn’t take much in of the club’s ambience due to the scores of people on the dance floor. The DJ was blasting house music and the crowd was going wild. Although we were in the middle of winter, I saw a lot of men shirtless and several women in bra tops.

There were a number of podiums in the middle of the dance floor where outrageously costumed women danced.
