I decided to put some decent clothes on as I was still in my ripped t-shirt. I had already showered, curled my hair, done my makeup, and applied lotion to every inch of my body. I opted for my strapless dark green velvet dress that hugged my body. This dress was also tight on me before, but since I had lost so much weight it fits perfectly now.
I pulled on my black lacy boots and sprayed my signature scent. When I entered the foyer, Maximo looked up from his card game with the boys. He looked me up and down. I pretended to not notice, calling for the elevator. “Where the fuck do you think you’re going?” He uttered from across the room.
“As I said, I have business to attend to.” They were all a little drunk but stood up and gathered around me. When the elevator door opened, I annoyingly said, “Shall we?” Maximo huffed and they all followed me.
Luckily, I also had a car here, a black Mercedes G. Since they had all been drinking, I got in the driver’s seat and started up the engine. If I had any chance of finding James, it would be at The Velvet Room – New Orleans.
We pulled up and the bouncer immediately let us in. I walked over to the counter and ordered 4 Winks and a bottle of bourbon with 4 glasses. I told the bartender to have a waitress bring us our order in the VIP section.
I scanned the room for James. I didn’t see him. I waited at the bar for awhile while the cute, short, thick waitress brought the guys their drinks. I figured they would rather enjoy her for a bit, taking the attention off me, considering they were already tipsy.
I eyed the room, looking for places James might be, I knew where to look because he trained me, but he wasn’t in any of those places. Shit.
I finally gave up and decided to join the guys. They all had girls on their laps, including Maximo. I rolled my eyes, which set Maximo off. “Did you just roll your fucking eyes?” He pushed the girl that was on his lap off him. “Get the fuck over here, Fallon.” He ordered me. I decided to disobey him.
I walked over to the pole that was in the VIP section and dance on it. I was still feeling pretty good after those pain pills earlier today. I had taken pole lessons in the past when I opened The Velvet Room – Kansas City, so I knew how to do the stripper type moves. This, of course, intrigued the guys and a few of the other club goers. They began cheering for me, which pissed off Maximo even more.
“Why the fuck can they see up here in the VIP section, fucking ridiculous.” Julio, Monte, and Joe were all laughing.
“Go, Fallon!” Julio yelled and whistled.
“Fallon, get down.” Maximo said again. I ignored him and kept twirling around the pole. He finally got tired of asking and came and threw me over his shoulder, making the crowd yell “boo!” He set me down before pulling me onto his lap on the sofa.
“Yeah, I’m no longer enjoying myself. I think I better go.” Maximo held me tighter after I said that. Little did the guys know I had the cute waitress put a wink in each of their drinks so they would be feeling the effects soon.
I was still scanning the room looking for James. He was nowhere to be found. I decided to give up and enjoy myself a little bit. The guys were already feeling their Wink and grinding on any girls that would walk up to them. Maximo, knowing that something was up, wouldn’t take his eyes off me.
Alianna had joined us. We had so much catching up to do. She brought coke, Wink, and extra bourbon with her when she joined us. She whispered in my ear that Maximo had his eyes on me. I mouthed ‘I know’ to her before we both started laughed.
I decided to take a Wink. The guys seemed to be enjoying themselves, I’ve had a rough few months and decided I had nothing to lose.
I downed my Wink with a shot of bourbon. Maximo looked as if he disapproved of my decision to take the Wink, but I didn’t care.
I shortly started to feel the Wink kicking in. I was dancing with Ali and thoroughly enjoying myself. I noticed a hottie in the crowd eyeing me like “some sit on my face” and I was really thinking of doing so. I finally joined the crowd dancing on the main dance floor and he walked over to me, grabbing my hips.
We grinded and rubbed on each other, letting the music move us how we pleased. This, however, pissed off Maximo. I watch him seethe as I grinded on this random guy. I watched Maximo the entire time. He gripped the railing of the VIP section so tight I could see that his knuckles were white.
I smiled each time he looked up at me. Pissing him off even more. He even ignored all of the girls walking up and grinding on him, pushing them off. Monte, Joe, and Julio were enjoying themselves with the girls grinding on them. I heard them singing a few times.
Once I was bored of the cute guy, I made my way to a crowd of college aged girls. They loved to dance and pulled me straight into the middle of their dance circle. We bumped and grinded and were having a great time, laughing, drink, and dancing when I got pulled out of the circle into a man’s arms. His arms.
James.
