Pixie Dust (Pixie Dust Chronicles 1)
Chapter 27
*******************
I decided that I needed a night out on the town to take my mind off the frustrating men in my life. I dialed Erica’s cell. “Hey K, whatsup?”
“I need a favor.” I got straight to the point. “I need a girl’s night out. Can you round everyone up for me?”
“Yippee!” She squealed. “You haven’t been out with us in forever! Half of my normal peeps would be working tonight, but I think I can get some girls from the audition circuit and maybe Roxy and Amanda.”
“Great. Meet me at my place right before ten.”
“Will do baby! Hey, be sure to dress extra slutty tonight. I’m taking you to my favorite place. Only super hot people make it past the front door!”
I stood in front of the mirror thinking about my outfit. I settled on something I saw at the mall last week. I sprinkled some fairy dust over my head and was instantly clothed in a yellow draped neck mini tunic dress with t-strap metallic stilettos. Yep, this one will definitely make Eri proud.
She arrived around ten with a busty platinum blonde. Tom’s tongue was practically hanging out of his mouth as I invited them in. Erica nodded to the woman beside her.“Karli, this is Audrina. She just got cast in that topless review where they flash a bunch of lights onto the women’s bodies. Audrina, meet Karli.”
Audrina looked me up and down while I was doing to the same to her. She looked really familiar but I couldn’t quite place her. She was heavily made up, wearing a jeweled neck fuchsia mini dress. Her nails and shoes matched and her spray tan was probably about two shades too dark. She fanned her nails and said, “Yes, we’ve already met.”
“We have?” I asked.
“Yes, at a club. You were monopolizing all of my favorite lover’s time.”
I thought about it for a minute until it hit me. The leggy blonde that Chad blew off. “Ah, at Voyeur-Gasm, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” She replied acidly.
“Sorry, I didn’t recognize you with your clothes on.” I said, returning her tone. “And I wasn’t monopolizing anyone’s time. Trust me honey, he’s all yours.”
“Well, I’m glad we cleared that up.”
I gave Erica a sour look before asking, “Where are the rest of the girls?”
“They’re going to meet us there. Roxy is dating one of the bouncers so she wanted to get there early to secure a room for us.”
I grabbed my keys and purse and ushered the ladies out into the hall while I locked my front door. “C’mon Tom. You’re in for a wild ride.” His shift was almost over and I wasn’t about to wait for the changing of the guards. “You should probably call Joel and have him meet us there.”
Wow, you’d think he was new in town with the way he was gawking at us. “Yes, Ma’am. I have a feeling he’s going to love being on the job tonight.”
“Uh huh. I bet. Let’s go.”
We all piled into my car and headed for the club. We saw Roxy waiting for us at the front of the line. “Hey bitches! Ready to get your drink on?” She looked at Tom. “Who’s the big guy?”
“He’s my bodyguard.” She gave me a confused look.
“Don’t ask.” I warned.
The entrance tunnel to the club had a gold mirrored mosaic of changing lights, fog and sound. It was the preamble of the exciting experience waiting inside. This place came equipped with state-of-the-art lighting as well as a pulse-pounding sound system which was currently blasting techno music. The synchronized fireballs shot out above the dance floor, captivating the audience below. A forty foot wall of water provided the ultimate backdrop for the go-go dancers while the main dance floor was surrounded by a body of water. The dancing fountains struggled to keep up with the sea of glistening bodies.
Roxy grabbed my hand pulling me further inside. “I got us two cabanas.” She yelled over the music. “C’mon they’re up here.”
We followed her upstairs and were met by Amanda and five other people that I didn’t know. Tom joined us a minute later after making arrangements with the bouncer to let Joel in once he arrived.
“Karli, who’s your friend?” Amanda asked.
“This is Tom. He’s running security tonight. Don’t ask.” I looked at the people sitting around enjoying their drinks. “Who are your friends?”
“Guys, this is Karli from my work.” She nodded her head towards each person from left to right as she introduced them. “Karli, this is Kim, Leah, Scott, Tanner, and Tynesha.”
