But she was also disappointed because she had been
going to get to go to Shadows for the first time, and now
she wasn’t. It was sad that going to the club was what she
had been looking forward to the most.
Looking out of her windshield, Kylie stared at the
large brick building with the sign “Shadows” on it. They had
planned on walking to the club after dinner, which had been
why they had chosen the restaurant that was only half a
block up the street.
Slumping back into her seat, Kylie felt the urge to
have a small tantrum. Not that it would do her any good but
pouting about it and maybe a foot stomp or two might make
her feel better.
Or you could just go to the club by yourself since you
are an actual grown adult.
Staring at the brick building, Kylie thought about it.
She could go to the club by herself. She was an adult and
could come and go as she pleased. It wasn’t like she had to
stay if she didn’t like it. Sure, she would be there by herself
and not have any friends around, but surely other people
went to clubs by themselves.
Mind made up, Kylie grabbed her purse and climbed
out of her car, making the short walk up the block to stand
in front of Shadows. It was just after eight in the evening,
and there was already a buzz of people making their way
into the club. She took a deep breath and walked toward the
door where a large muscular man was checking IDs. Pulling
hers from her purse, Kylie handed it to the man, who looked
at the ID and back at her several times.
“You’re sure this is a legit ID? You don’t even look
twenty-one, let alone thirty-two,” the bouncer said.
Kylie smiled up at him, “Yep, I’m sure. I graduated
high school in two-thousand-eight and then went to college
at Oregon State. I’ve been a jewelry designer ever since.
Here’s my card if you’d like to look at some of my work.
Maybe your wife or girlfriend would like something.”
Shut up, Kylie. Damn.
The man gave her an incredulous look, then looked at
her ID one more time before handing it back to her and
opening the door to allow her in. Before she walked through
the entrance, she quickly slid her business card into the
bouncer’s shirt pocket and hurried inside before he could
give it back to her.
She was immediately surrounded by people who were
dancing and talking loudly over the music. The place was
packed. Kylie tried to look around the club to take it all in,
but with the number of people swarming around her, she
couldn’t see past them.
Slipping through the crowd, she eventually made her
way up to the long bar and waited until she was able to put
in an order with the handsome bartender.
“What can I get you, doll?” he asked with a pantydropping smile.
Damn. He was cute, and he was staring at her like
she was the dessert that he’d been waiting for. But he was
also working for tips, so she knew better than to think he
was flirting with her.
“Can I get a lemon drop martini and a lemon drop
shot, please?” she yelled out.
He nodded and began making her drinks while at the
same time watching her with a look of interest on his face.
“This your first time here?” he asked over the music.
Oh great. Totally obvious.
Kylie nodded and offered him a shy smile. He smiled
back and placed her drinks on the bar.
