Picture Perfect

The coffee shop did let Andy back in. After we were all done eating it was close to eight in the evening. The night was still young and so were we.

“Want to go out to a club?” I asked everyone. Ashley, CC, and Juliet were down. Jake and Jinxx just shrugged their shoulders and said sure. Andy looked at me worriedly.

“Since when do you go clubbing?” He asked me suspiciously. I was never the one to go out and party. In the past few months though I’ve been enjoying the party scene.

“Since a while ago. Are you coming or not?” I said slightly annoyed. Andy was about to go into protective mode which was also asshole mode.

“Come on babe.” Juliet begged. “When’s the last time we went out?”

“Yeah come on babe.” I said sarcastically and everyone laughed.

“I’ll be the DD.” stated Andy. Nobody argued. We all crammed into Ashley’s Escalade which seated 9. I sat in the middle of CC and Jake while Juliet and Andy sat in the very back and Jinxx rode shotgun. CC was a lot of fun and made me laugh the whole ride there.

When we got to the club there was a long line, but I marched up front and the bouncer pulled the rope back for me.

“I have guests.” I said. The bouncer eyeballed everyone and nodded.

“Stay out of trouble tonight Victoria.” The bouncer warned.

I laughed. “No promises tonight Jeff.”

Once all of us walked in, Andy pulled me aside. “Why are you on a first name basis with the bouncer?”

I shrugged my shoulders. “I told you I’ve been in the party scene awhile.” I went to walk away, but Andy pulled me back.

“This isn’t you Victoria.” Andy said.

I pulled away from his grasp. “How would you know? You said it yourself that you abandoned me. Now go be a good little boyfriend and dance with your girlfriend and get off my back!” I yelled and stormed off. We were having such a nice time before we got here. Why did Andy have to be this way? I immediately went to the bar and banged my hand on the counter.

“Get me something strong and fruity.” I demanded. A drink was in my hands within seconds.
“No surprise to see you here again.” The bartender commented.

I rolled my eyes. “Just keep them coming Vinny.” By my fourth drink I was only slightly buzzed when Ashley walked over.

“A pretty lady shouldn’t drink alone.” He purred in my ear. I gave him a light push on the seat next to me.

“Then don’t let her.” I said as I sipped my fifth drink.

“Are you a tequila girl?” He asked with a smirk that I usually find annoying, but it was actually really sexy.

“Are you buying?” I asked and raised my eyebrow look him up and down. Ashley had unbuttoned his shirt and I could see the infamous OUTLAW tattoo that drove fangirls crazy.

“A gentleman always buys.” Ashley commented. “Bartender me and this lovely lady would like a round of tequila shots.” Vinny set the shot glasses down and filled them up.

“Here’s to a great night filled with regrets.” I said and rose my glass.

“Here here.” Ashley said in agreement and clinked glasses with me. It was gonna be an interesting night.
