Chapter Seventeen

“Girl!” Jackie almost screams, bobbing and swaying on Delicious’ dance floor to the loud house blend. “I so wish I could do this dating game with you.”

I roll my shoulders and head to the music, loving this new David Guetta re-mix. “Stop it, Jackie,” I shout in response.

“I mean it.” She rapidly shakes her hips as the drumbeat intensifies. Her tight tube top has crept up past the rim of her equally tight, black leather mini skirt, thanks to her wild dance moves, and she’s now showing off much of the very large and colorful butterfly tattoo that covers her lower back. “Getting to be free and wild and just having fun!” she cries. She throws her head back and lets out a catcall. I don’t know how she can walk, much less bust these kinds of crazy moves in shoes that I’m surprised aren’t giving her a nosebleed.

“You can have fun and dance and hang out with the girls and still be married, Jackie,” I say loudly, slowing my shoulder roll. Jackie, however, begins to jump up and down, waving her hands about wildly.

I look over at Lara, who’s bobbing and swaying to the tunes, but in her usual reserved way. She’s wearing a pair of conservative black trousers that I’m fairly certain are part of her office wardrobe, and a very simple black, collared blouse with small brass buttons, the top two unbuttoned. Jackie had already undone the third button and was about to tackle the fourth, but Lara protested.

“Emily’s right,” Lara says, starting to snap her fingers in beat with the music. “You can be attached, in a monogamous relationship, and still have a great time out, Jackie. Look at us!” She rocks her head side to side. “This is fun!”

“That’s right,” I pipe in. “This was a great idea. I feel good, letting loose, having fun.”

“It’s not the same, babe.” Jackie yells only the first part of her sentence, because the tracks change and the music becomes more mellow. She points to the bar. “Not the same. To the bar!” She grabs Lara by the wrist, and we traipse to a section of available barstools.

“You can have a blast when you’re single,” Jackie says. She pulls her petite self up onto a stool. “Clubbing and dancing and going out is so much more fun when you’re not married.”

“I may not be married, but I am in a committed relationship,” Lara says after she orders us a round of drinks. “I’m still having fun.”

“Married and committed are different.” Jackie crosses her legs and makes an “ah-ha” expression. “I live with Andrew, so he’s like, part of my routine. A boring routine, half the time. Well,” she pauses for dramatic effect, “that is when he’s actually home long enough to be a part of my routine.” She shakes her head rapidly, letting out a heavy sigh. “When you live with your partner, your whole life changes; it becomes so drab. You’ll see what I mean, Lara, when you and Nathan move in together.
