"What are they doing there?"

He chuckles "Right now, they’re grinding on the dance floor It’s date night"

"Where’s Tuesday?" Tuesday is their daughter

"With Paul and Friday Where else?"

I swear to God, Paul and Friday should just turn their aparts up onso loud that the street vibrates with it as I get close to the club Bounce is the local hang-out, and it’s always busy I used to be a bouncer here and I loved every second of it I pass by the line waiting to get inside, and bu the line all by hiht past hi to a pretty little blonde She asks him to dance, and he shakes his head She tries to pull hio

Pete shoves his shoulder and points hi to get laid if he won’t participate in the gaest that he buy the pretty lady a drink instead He blushes, but she nods, all soes to order a fruity drink for her She looks me up and down and her eyes narrow

"Aren’t you--" she starts, but I put uy ants to get a drink" I really don’t want anyone to know that I play pro ball Not tonight

She nods, but her eyes are bright all of a sudden She wraps her fingertips around my bicep and squeezes I lift her hand from my body and put it back at her side "No thanks," I say

She huffs

I point toward Edward "Go talk to Edward"

"I’d rather talk to you" She bats her heavily coated lashes

I narrow my eyes at her "He’s available I’er and draws a circle on my inner arm My skin crawls Edward comes back with her drink, and she reaches to take it from him I block him and take it myself I tap a pretty little brunette on the shoulder and say, "My friend here wanted to buy you a drink"

The brunette’s cheeks grow rosy and she looks up at Edward from beneath lowered lashes "Thanks," she says

Edward looks confused, but he forgets all about the blonde when the brunette sticks out her hand and introduces herself

The blonde huffs away

"See?" Pete says "This is why I needed you"
