Chapter 8
Jennifer
Kim, Olivia, Scarlett and I made our way to the dance floor, everyone was going mad about the DJ. I guess he wasn’t bad. When I said they were going mad, I don’t mean his music but his looks. Me on the other side only had one man in my mind and he was tall, dark and fucken handsome, I was starting to kick myself for disappearing on him. We all danced and Olivia got us more tequila, after the 2nd one I decided that was enough I have to do lunch with my dad tomorrow and doing it sober was already an issue what if I was hangover. I switched to water and everyone was upset with me but at least I don’t fall for peer pressure. I could enjoy myself without drinking a lot. We danced about 5 songs before I told them I need to rest for a minute. Kim and Olivia made faces at me but continued dancing, Scarlett came with me.
We walked outside to the swimming pool area finding a quiet place just to chat. We found a place away from people which was very difficult the place was packed. “How are you doing Scarlett?” I knew Scarlett had a few issues with her boyfriend and she doesn’t like talking about it in front of Kim. I’m not sure why but I respect her. “I don’t know Jenn.” “What do you mean you don’t know?” “I just don’t know if all the fighting is worth it anymore.” “You thinking of leaving him?” “In all honesty yes but where will I go, I think that is the only reason I’m still with him I have no where to go.” “Scarlett you can come and live with me.” “Are you serious? I know you like your privacy.” “Yes, I’m serious and I don’t want you in a relationship that is toxic remember I’ve been there I know how you are feeling.” “But what about your privacy?” she asked me. “Scarlett as long as you don’t want to know where I am 24/7 or tell people when I’m not coming home the previous night, I’m good.” “I would never Jenn you know that.” “Well then you have a place to come to. Don’t stay in a toxic relationship. He probable knows you have no where to go and that is why he is treating you this way.” “Probable I’ve never thought of that before.” “Well Scarlett it’s all up to you, you know I don’t stick my nose where it does not belong, whenever you ready to move out there is a room for you.” She grabbed me around my waist and hug me so hard. “Thank you, Jenn, thank you so much.” “No problem, Scarlett. I’m always here.” We sat and people watch for a while when I said “We probable need to get back in there before Kim comes and find us.” “She probable would.” Scarlett said with half a sneer. Okay something happened there, but I’m not getting involved. We made our way back to the girls but Scarlett first wanted to get a cocktail I decided to ask the bartender to make me a virgin cocktail then the others can think I’m drinking when in fact I am not. When we got our cocktails, we moved back to Kim and Olivia. Kim was hanging onto some dude doing the dirty dancing with him and poor Olivia was dancing alone. “We back Olivia.” We screamed over the music. “Thank God.”
To say Kim is the wildest of us all is probable an understatement but we love her non the less. The three of us started dancing and laughing as people bumped into us and we into them, it was just part of the vibe especially when it was this full. At one stage I saw Olivia’s eyes got wide and then Scarlett. “What?” I screamed at them. “Don’t look now but Kyle saw you and is making his way to us.” “Oh, fuck I knew it I’m not in the mood for this girl. I’m going.” “We’ll come with you.” “No, you guys enjoy yourselves I’ll be okay.” “You sure?” Scarlett asked. “Very enjoy your evening girls.” I started to make my way of the dance floor but before I could reach the door, in my case freedom. Someone grabbed my arm, yes that someone was Kyle. I turned around and gave him a dirty look.
“Leave me alone Kyle.” “I need to talk to you.” “About what? We have nothing to say to each other.” “I have a lot to say to you.” I got out of his grip and moved towards the door I walked out into the humid night that was Las Vegas. As I walked, I ordered an Uber. “Jennifer I’m talking to you!” He screamed at me it made one of the bouncers I know turn around and look at us. “I have nothing to say to you Kyle leaves me alone.” “But I want your back.” I stopped dead in my tracks “What the fuck did you just say to me?” “I said I want your back.” “Did I give you any indication the last few months that I would even consider taking you back?” “No but I can dream, can’t I?” “The only thing you are dreaming of is my fathers fortune and the VIP treatment, you don’t want me you. You want what I can give you.” “That’s not true.” He grabbed my arm. The bouncer was so quickly with me I actually couldn’t believe it. “Take your hands of her.” He said to Kyle. “This has nothing to do with you man.” “Clearly Miss. Rynn don’t want to talk to you please leave her alone.” The bouncer tried again. Kyle made the mistake of pushing the bouncer then the bouncer pushed him back and he fell flat on his ass. I wanted to laugh so hard but I held it in. While Kyle was still on the floor licking his wounds, I asked the bouncer “What’s your name? Sorry I’ve never asked.” “JP Miss Rynn.” “Thank you very much JP and my name is Jennifer or Jenn.” “My pleasure Jenn.” My Uber arrived and JP opened the door for me. Just before he closed the door, I could hear Kyle scream, “I will get you back.” ‘In your dreams’ I thought as the Uber driver took me home.
