CHAPTER 19

ARABELLA

Our elite patrons are demanding tonight. It’s a themed night, good versus evil, and according to Xavier, these things always go off with a bang. It brings members back that haven’t visited for a while and encourages everyone to drink more. She’s dressed in devil horns and a red sequined number that doesn’t leave a lot to the imagination. I have on a halo, white bustier, and tulle skirt with angel wings. Not a look I would pick for myself, but I guess I just have to go with whatever life throws at me these days.

I had forgotten how fun it can be to dress up. I guess moving over here with my dad and having to grow up so early so I could take care of the two of us while he was working meant it forced me to grow up quickly, and that kind of stopped me from exploring my fun side. Maybe that’s why, even though this lifestyle is so out of character for the normal me, I’m actually settling into it and enjoying being one of the elite girls. Originally, I thought I would feel like a piece of meat on display, but I don’t. Not at all.

“What did Kobe say to you?” Shelby asks, filling up another tray for me to hand out. Her eyes light up with mischief.

“You really want to know?” I ask, not sure I should tell her. He’s being so flirty with me tonight. And after what happened between us on Sunday night when we were alone, I’m wondering what on earth he has in mind for me. We have had two days apart, and it’s like the distance has only intensified the tension.

“After the look he gave you, I’m dying to know.” She smirks cheekily.

“He said I was an angel on the outside, but underneath, he was sure I’d be the devil. What the hell do you think he meant by that?” I would like to think it wasn’t Kobe who selected this costume for me, but from the comment he made, I know it was. He’s playing a game of temptation with me, seeing how far he can push me before I give into him completely. I’m sure of it.

“I’ve already said it. He wants you bad.” She laughs lightheartedly. She’s in such a good mood tonight, everyone is. I guess dressing up just makes things more exciting. I didn’t tell her or Xavier what happened in the staffroom. When I came back out here, they both looked at me like they knew, but no one brought it up.

I laugh at her as I take the tray to my table. It’s hard to keep up with the demand for drinks. I help the girls as best I can, serving and running orders to tables, smiling politely as I do, then rush back to get the next table's order. When I get back this time, I see my phone screen light up under the bar. Xavier grabs it and shoves it in my direction.
