Rhye – Be My <3.....come listen to me 2night at V

He’s referring to next week being Valentine’s Day.

Me – What’s in it for me?

Rhye – A song

Me – Is it going to piss me off?

Rhye – Probably....most everything I do does.

Me – Ass

Rhye – Tease

Me – You never know...I could be here now...listening to Bruno Mars

Out of the corner of my eye, I see him come rushing out of the back, wildly looking around.

“What are you looking at?” Eli follows my line of sight. “This should be good.”

“Let me out,” I say. Eli slides out of the booth with me behind him. Once I stand, he sits back down. Smoothing my dress, I continue to stare at Rhye who is still looking though groups of people. He looks back down at his phone, like it will lead him to me. An outburst of laughter escapes from deep within.

My laugh must carry over the music because he turns right towards me. Our eyes lock. He reaches my side in seconds, barreling through people to get here. His grin widens as his eyes finally leave mine to travel down my body and back up.

“Damn, Jay,” he says in awe. “Damn,” he repeats, looking at me again.

Returning the favor, I see that he is dressed in a black Mavs t-shirt and black skinny jeans, his normal wardrobe. The only difference for his stage presence is a couple of silver rings, a black wrist band, and a silver chain hanging from one belt loop to the other.

“Like what you see?” I can’t help but ask.

“Hell, yes,” he replies playfully.

I hear coughing behind me as Eli signals for introductions. Instantly, I remember that I’ve told Eli about Rhye but not Rhye about Eli. Turning, I look down at Eli, and Rhye does the same. His cheeks redden with anger. He’s pissed.

“Rhye, this is my friend Eli.”

Eli sticks his hand out to shake Rhye’s and replies, “Hi.”

Ignoring the formalities, Rhye looks at him and then back to me. “Are you on a date?”

“No, we are just hanging out.”

Eli speaks up from his seat, “Just friends.”

“Thanks Eli. I think I’ve got this.”

“Did you come here to see me tonight?” Rhye asks.

I take a deep breath. Answering this will probably damn me. Oh well. Either way, we will both likely get hurt. So here goes nothing. “Yes,” I reply.

Smiling, he finally reaches his hand to Eli. “Rhye.”

“I know,” Eli replies.

“Let me get you both something to drink.”

“I’ll take something sweet,” I say, figuring just one drink can’t hurt.

“I have something already. Thanks though,” Eli says.

As a waitress passes, he orders us both something and turns back to me.

A slow and easy melody starts playing, and I hear Rhye whisper, “Perfect.” Turning towards me, he grabs my hand, looks into my eyes, and says to Eli, “Excuse us. They’re playing our song.”

Rhye pulls me through the throngs of people until we reach a corner on the dance floor. He places his hands on my hips and pulls me close. Bringing my face to his, I circle my arms around his neck.
