Little Drummer Girl

Lori

I slam back another shot at the bar and nod my head to the song playing.

“This is the best wedding I’ve ever been to,” Cap says loudly, shouting over the group who turned out to be the best cover band I’ve ever heard. They’re crushing “Brown Sugar” by the Stones to the point even Mick would be impressed.

“Me too,” I agree and turn, following Cap’s eyes to the dance floor where the little brunette he’s not so discreetly banging is dancing up a storm with Jenny and Beverly.

They’ve been at it for hours, drinking and dancing, and now everyone is lit.

The outdoor room is crowded and rocking. The lights make it feel like a proper club.

“Sami killed this.”

“She’ll easily be able to make this a package and sell it,” I say with a laugh. “So weird. You’d never met such a spoiled lazy girl in your whole life.” My voice cracks as my gaze follows Sami across the dance floor. “And then she meets that schmuck and all she wants is to earn his respect. Now she’s a workaholic.”

“How long have you known her?”

“I’ve known her for a while, but we’ve only become friends in this last bit. I don’t think she paid any attention to me though our families have known each other forever. Same with Matt. I guess our dads were friends. Probably shared mistresses.” I chuckle and give him a side-glance. “Speaking of which,” I face the bar again, lowering my voice and leaning in, “you’ve never struck me as someone who would—”

“I’m not. I know what you’re about to say but it’s not like that. Sandy left me last summer, right before the start of the season. Sukii's the first person I’ve hooked up with in almost a year.” He pauses. “I didn’t want the media attention and bullshit so I didn’t say anything. Sandy’s filing and we’re hoping it can be swept under the rug.”

“I’m sorry, man.”

“Thanks, Lori. I should have said something before but—”

“Like I said, Cap, you don’t come across as someone who’d do that sort of thing. You owe no one an explanation. I know who you are.” I slap him on the arm and hold my fingers up for the bartender.

She winks and stalks over, lifting the bottle and pouring.

“I don’t think I can do another.” Cap waves it off but I lift it, insisting.

“Drink up.”

We clank the glasses and shoot the sipping tequila like assholes. He shudders, making me laugh.

Sami appears out of nowhere, grabbing my hand. “Why aren’t you dancing, Lori? You’ve barely danced with me.” She pulls me away from Cap as “Another One Bites the Dust” starts up.

In her massive dress, Sami spins me, sending me shooting into the crowd with a giggle.

She and Nat attack, dancing seductively.

Matt lifts a drink in my direction from his hiding spot. I flip him off but dance along as they sandwich me, sliding hands and bodies up and down me. The booze is hitting, and I catch a glimpse of the face in front of me.
