I really did want her to get better. There was still some part of me that remembered the beautiful life we were building together. There was that part of me that still loved her, and hated to see her so depressed. But lately, that voice had been silenced by parts of me that couldn’t stand to be around her. I began to enjoy my newfound freedom, and was in no real hurry to give it up.
I washed my hands and came out of the men’s room, and had begun making my way to the bar to join Avonte, when I saw a woman. The way her jet-black hair kept dropping over her pretty face made her look kind of innocent, yet very sexy at the same time. She was a tall woman, slender, but not skinny. She had nice-sized tits, and a bubble butt that made me want to follow her, so I did. She walked around the club for a while, obviously looking for somebody who she couldn’t find. When she stopped and looked around again, I stepped to her.
"Hello," I said over the music.
"Hi," she said, and continued to look around.
"You’re very pretty."
"Thank you," she said, and looked at me for the first time. A smile crept across her lips.
I leaned forward and asked, "What’s your name?"
"Angel," she answered in a voice that sounded like it belonged to an angel.
"My name is Devin."
Angel held out her hand. "Nice to meet you, Devin."
"Believe me, Angel, the pleasure is all mine," I said and took her in with my eyes. "I couldn’t help but notice that you seem to be looking for somebody."
"Yeah," Angel said, and looked around the club again. "I was supposed to be meeting a friend here, but I guess she’s not gonna show."
"Did you try calling her to see if she was coming?"
"No, she doesn’t have a cell phone," Angel said, and sighed deeply.
"You mean that there are still people in New York who don’t have cells?"
"I don’t know about all that, but she sure doesn’t." Angel took another deep breath. "I think I’ve waited long enough for her."
"I don’t think anybody who looks like you should be kept waiting."
"I can’t argue with your logic, so I’m going home," Angel said, and started for the door.
I walked along side her. "Listen, I would like to see you again. Maybe we could get together some time and have a drink."
Angel stopped walking and faced me. She looked me up and down then tilted her head. "I’d like that," she said, and dug around in her purse for a pen, and something to write her number on.
We exchanged numbers and said goodbye, with a promise that we would be in touch with each other soon.
Once I saw Angel leave the club, I went to the bar to join Avonte. It was getting late, and I wanted to fuck her one more time before I went home. As I got closer to the bar, I saw Avonte standing there. And standing right next to her was another cutie dressed in dark purple leather. She was about the same height and build as Avonte. But where Avonte’s hair is short, this woman had long, black hair that was parted in the middle, and hung down the middle of her back. Her dark completion and dark eyes made her very sexy. Even though I was happy with the sex I was having with Avonte, I wanted her, too.

Chapter Fourteen
Avonte
I waited by the bar for what seemed like a long time, waiting for Devin to come back from the bathroom. I looked around the club, but I didn’t see him anywhere. I took sip of my drink and moved to the beat of the music, thinking about how I was enjoying my new life. I was finally living life on my own terms, and I wanted to experience it all. I wanted to experience everything that life had to offer. Devin was a big part of that. I especially liked the way he treated me, and the way he made me feel. Devin treated me like I was a queen, and when we made love, it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced.
I enjoyed my life with Devin. We saw each other practically every day. After spending so much money on hotels, Devin decided to rent a small apartment close to his job. We’d spend the rest of the night together until I drained Devin, and send him home to sleep with his wife. Most days, I’d leave when he left and go back to my apartment
I still hadn’t told him very much about myself. At times, I felt bad about that, but I liked the way things were with Devin. I didn’t want to spoil things by dragging all that money into it. I knew from experience that money had a way of changing people. Making them do things that under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t even consider.
I took another sip of my drink and wondered what was taking Devin so long. "Hello," a female voice said to me.
I turned to see a woman standing next to me, wearing a dark purple leather jumpsuit that zipped in the front, which she used to display a healthy cleavage. "Hi."
