His shocked but pleased expression makes me double over in laughter. I hand him a shot, which he gratefully accepts, before leading Hannah to a more secluded area where they can dance alone.
I’d set up a date for him earlier today-he’s taking her out on Monday. I can’t wait to hear their impressions of the date. They’re so cute together.
I join Andy, who’s watching the crowd below. We start to dance, goofing off and sipping our drinks.
We decide to explore the club, getting a feel for the different rooms. In the first room we enter, a group of guys wink at us. We stay put, and they make their way over to us.
“Hey! You’re Alex Thompson, right?”
I nod, sipping my drink through a straw.
“Can we take a picture with you?”
I laugh. “Sure, all of you?”
“Yeah, like a group photo? Would you mind?” He hands Andy his phone, and I find myself in the middle of a group shot, three guys on one side, two on the other, their hands wrapped around my waist.
Andy hands his phone back to him. “You’re even prettier in real life. And you’re really pretty too!” We thank him and chat for a bit. They’re really nice guys.
One of the guys’ eyes widen as he spots something behind me. “Woah! You’re Knox Carter! Nice to meet you. Can I get a picture with you and Alex?”
Knox nods, and one of his friends steps up to take the picture. But not before Knox says, “Move those hands a little higher, buddy,” to the guy whose hand is dangerously low on my back.
Once we’re done, Knox leads me and Andy down a hallway where we spot Kyle talking to a tall brunette who’s practically shoving her boobs in his face. My brother is so oblivious. Then he spots us and smiles.
Andy is glaring at the girl, who moves closer to Kyle, not before spotting Knox behind me. She smirks seductively at him, and Andy storms over. I hurry to keep up with her, with Knox hot on my heels.
People are queuing up for the restrooms behind Kyle. His eyes widen in realization just as the girl plants a kiss on his lips, causing Andy to freeze in her tracks.
Oh, shit.
Kyle pushes her away immediately. Was this girl trying to make Knox jealous? Or was she trying to give Andy a perfectly good reason to shatter the glass in her hand?
Kyle looks over at Andy, whose face is a mask of rage.
“Hands off my man, bitch! Get back to your fucking corner!”
“Your man? Really? You’re Knox Carter, right?” Andy gives her a once-over before turning on her heel and walking away. I motion for Kyle to follow her.
Knox and I are left standing in the hallway, watching our brothers retreat. Knox is unusually silent. I turn to look at him and my heart stutters to a halt.
She’s kissing him. And he’s not stopping her. They pull away, but I’m already out the door.
“Alex!” I hear him call, but I keep walking, heading back to the section where I was before, minus Andy, of course. As I pass by, people part like the Red Sea, mainly guys stepping back to stare.
Then someone grabs my arm. I whip my head around to see Knox. “Don’t touch me!” I snap, making his eyes widen.
I wrench my arm out of his grip and continue walking, leaving him speechless in my wake. My phone starts to buzz, so I open my clutch and see a message from Kyle and Andy.
Kyle
I’ve left with Andy! Have fun and pray for me xx
Andy
I WILL KILL THAT BITCH THE NEXT TIME I SEE HER FUCKING FACE.
Safe to say she’s pissed and he’s terrified. I approach the bartender and order two shots-one whiskey, one vodka. As I knock them back, I see Knox ascending the stairs, looking dazed.
He makes eye contact with me and I order another round of shots, breaking our staring contest. I glance around and see Wes whispering into the ear of some blonde girl.
Knox makes his way over to me and takes the stool next to mine. “I’ll have what she’s having,” he tells the bartender. I turn my body away from him, not wanting to look at him.
I flip my hair over my shoulder, continuing to ignore him.
Wait, I’m not jealous! Am I?
“I’ll have another round,” I tell the bartender, who’s making googly eyes at Knox. The blonde who was talking to Wes comes over to sit next to Knox.
“Hi, I’m Adrienne,” the pretty blonde says. I didn’t hear a reply from Knox, so I look up to see her hand outstretched towards me.
I glance up at Wes and Knox, who are trying to suppress their laughter. I reach for her hand and shake it. “Nice to meet you. I’m Alex.”
“I know. Wes has told me about you. You’re really pretty. The TV doesn’t do you justice.” Am I getting hit on by a girl? I already had one lesbian encounter today, I don’t need another.
“Uh… thanks? I think?”
“No problem! I love your dress. Where did you get it?” She gets off her seat to come around to me, her hand brushing my leg.
I look up to see Knox, his eyebrows raised, watching her hand. His lips are pressed together, as if he’s trying not to say something. Wes is mesmerized by her hand on me. This is awkward.
“Um, it’s my sister’s. I borrowed it for tonight.” I take the shot in my mouth but don’t swallow.
“It looks good on you. You’ve got a hot body.” Her fingers start to trail up my body, while the two boys beside us are practically hyperventilating. I swallow the shot, looking straight ahead and forcing a smile.
“Thanks. I’m sorry, I don’t know what this dipshit has told you, but I don’t swing that way. You’re really pretty, don’t get me wrong, but I’m strictly into… dicks.”
“Alex!” Wes and Knox exclaim in unison, making her laugh.
“It’s a shame, but I understand. Can I at least get a picture with you?” She asks, pulling her phone out of her bra. I take the other shot and stand up. She hands the phone to Knox, who looks shocked, to say the least.
We pose together and she hands me her card. “If you ever change your mind,” she whispers with a wink, before walking off with a thank you.
