living vicariously so your dreams come true.”
She narrowed her eyes at me. “Then what are you doing back here?”
“Actually I was going to see if you wanted me to drive you home tonight since you’ve been drinking. You could leave your car in the employee lot,” Jared said.
“That sounds good. I could get someone to bring me back to get it tomorrow. Do you have a car big enough for all of us?” she asked him.
Saundra and Ray were too busy making out to care about the conversation.
“Yes, I’ll borrow Luke’s SUV.”
“That sounds great. Thanks Jared,” she said.
Jared turned to look at me. “Will come with me to talk to Luke?”
“Sure.”
Alright. I’m definitely not drinking anymore. If I can’t put together more than one word sentences, then I was too drunk.
We went into the hallway that led behind the stage. Luke was hanging out in a large room with a big screen TV playing Xbox.
“Hey Luke, this is Avery. Avery, this is my friend Luke,” Jared said.
He paused the game to look at me. “Hey, Avery.”
“Hey,” I wittily replied.
“Can we borrow your truck?” Jared asked.
“Uh, yeah. Why?” He eyed me. I tried to pull away from Jared some so he wasn’t envisioning us using his SUV for a bedroom, but Jared didn’t loosen his grip on my side.
“I’m going to give Avery and her friends a ride home , and my car’s not big enough,” Jared explained.
“Alright,” Luke said as he dug in his pocket for the keys.
“Thanks man,” Jared said as he took the keys and turned to leave.
“It was nice to meet you, Avery. I look forward to seeing you again,” Luke said.
“Thanks, Luke. You too,” I replied.
“He likes you,” Jared said once we had left the room.
“He seems nice enough.”
“Yeah, he is.”
We were almost to the door that led to the hall and the main club when Jared stopped and backed me up to the wall. His gaze went from my lips to my eyes and back.
“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I have wanted you since the first time I saw you standing in the club. That reminds me. Who were you looking for?”
I didn’t want to get into my profession. Most thought the Human’s Rights task force were a bunch of freaks.
“I was looking for a friend,” was all I said.
“I wish you had stayed. I tried to ask Temmy about you, but she was more interested in talking about herself.”
He pushed a lock of hair behind my ear then pushed the rest of the hair behind my shoulder. He brought his lips to mine , and my brain completely stopped working. After a few minutes, he left my lips for my neck and shoulder then moved up to my ear.
“We should go before I take you to the office and make love to you for the rest of the night,” he said.
“Good idea,” I said.
His eyebrows rose and he began to smile.
“I meant the going part,” I corrected.
He was still smiling w hen he leaned forward and kissed me again. It didn’t last long this time. He pulled away from the wall taking me with him, and we made our way back into the club. We stopped to dance again since it wasn’t that late, and I really did want to have fun tonight. After a few songs I realized I was having a hard time staying upright without Jared’s assistance. He was totally fine with me being pressed against him as we danced, but I think it’s time to go. I need to go home and sleep it off.
“Let’s roll, Temmy,” I told her as we reached the table. She and Kevin looked about as toasted as I was.
We all piled into Luke’s Denali and left Halo. He dropped Ray and Saundra off at Ray’s place just a little ways from the club then he took us to Temmy’s. I was originally going to just stay the night at her house, but I really didn’t feel like laying on the bed in the spare room listening to her and Kevin bumping uglies in the next room. So I asked Jared to drop me off at my apartment. When we were close, I told him he could just stop out front, and I would go in
