Chapter 12

That weekend, we go to the club. Not the x-club, but a human nightclub in Brooklyn that Noelle and I frequent when we’re both single, or when we just feel like having a night out. I haven’t been clubbing since I met Verit in the x-club, and I excitedly put on my favorite sparkly silver dress and scary-tall stilettos. At the last minute, I pull on the new coat Verit gave me. I haven’t worn it out yet, terrified of losing the most expensive item I’ve ever owned in my life, but tonight it feels right.

Verit’s car shows up five minutes before we agreed to meet, as usual. I apply one last coat of lip gloss, wink at my reflection, and head out.

“You look delectable,” Verit says as soon as I slide into the town car, taking my hand to help me in and gingerly kissing my knuckles like a true gentleman.

I make a who me? face while striking a pose, and we both laugh.

“Beautiful coat,” he adds, bushing a hair off one of its shoulders.

“Are you gonna be mad if I lose this one?” I ask, teasing.

“I’ll just get you another,” he says with a shrug, and I can’t help it, I lean over and kiss him.

When we get there, the club is crowded, with a long line out front. Verit steers us to the door without hesitation, and the bouncers let us in immediately, nodding politely at Verit. I can’t tell if they know him personally, or if they just know that he’s a K, and that’s enough.

“Let’s get drinks first,” I say once we enter. I shout to be heard over the loud electronic music, although it occurs to me he probably has some sort of enhanced alien hearing that would allow him to hear me just fine even in this environment.

“Here,” Verit says, steering us to an empty table.

“Is this for us?” I ask as I sit.

“Of course,” he says, helping me out of my coat.

“You got us a table?” I ask, still a little in awe. I’ve never exactly run with a VIP crowd.

“No,” Verit says with that damn smirk. “I got us a club.”

I don’t say anything for what feels like an eternity, completely unable to process what he’s just told me.

“What are you talking about,” I finally breathe, although it doesn’t come out fully like a question.

“When you said you wanted to come here, I bought the club.” I still just stare at him, so he goes on. “It’s what I do, Ari. I invest—usually in restaurants, this is my first club. Actually, ’invest’ might be understating it a bit. You ask why we’re always so welcomed in the restaurants we visit, it’s because I own those, and several more.”

A waitress in a sequined minidress sets down an expensive looking bottle of tequila on the table, smiling nervously. Verit shoos her away, and I pour myself a shot.

“Own?” I say, when Verit pauses. “Like, fully?”

“Yes,” he says, as I suck down the shot and pour another.
