It’s the perfect recipe for birthday shenanigans.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my job. Being the official dietitian for the San Antonio Rangers is basically my dream, but a girl needs to let loose and have a break with the girls every now and then.
I’m so excited to see them all, but I’m more than certain I’m going to be interrogated on why I haven’t done the deed with any of them yet. Or why I haven’t had sex withanyoneyet for that matter.
And truthfully, sex just never was really the priority for me. I had Liam to take care of from the time I was sixteen. I didn’t have time to date, or try to figure out how all of that worked.
But now that I’m constantly surrounded by testosterone-filled, competitive, sweaty men, it’s getting hard to ignore my own curiosities. This week is so well timed; I’m getting so worked up all day watching Brady—I mean the team—and it’s just a much-needed break.
When I had called Alex and told her that I was free for the night, she suggested we get the girls together and go dancing, to which I wholeheartedly agreed. It’s been way too long since I’ve had some fun with them; plus it’s my birthday, a perfect excuse to let my hair down and get a little wild, if you ask me.
Speaking of letting my hair down, while I’m putting the last spritz of hair spray into mine Alex struts behind me and strikes a pose in the mirror, giggling. Then, she gives me an exaggerated look up and down and whistles.
“Well,” she teases, “don’t you look just like a snack.”
I grin back at her in the mirror and blush, putting down my hairspray and smoothing my dress over my frame.
“Thanks.” I chirp, my cheeks getting slightly rosy. “So,” I start, changing the subject, “where do you want to go?”
She shrugs at me with a smile and walks over to the bed, sitting down.
“I dunno. The girls and I figured that since it’s your birthday, we should go somewhere new and exciting. What about that hot new dance club that just opened last week?”
I whip around and my eyes light up, excited at the thought of trying some place new for a change.
“Ohhh! That sounds like a great idea!”
I skip over to the bed and sit down next to Alex, leaning over to pick up my new shoes that she gave me for my birthday and slipping them on.
“Thanks again for the shoes, Alex,” I say with a smile, “they fit perfectly! And they’re surprisingly comfy, too.”
I extend my leg and admire the heels, turning my ankle about and chuckling as Alex oohh’s and ahh’s.
“Anything for you, Izzie,” she beams, “plus, it gave me an excuse to go shoe shopping and pick out these bad boys.”
She crossed one leg over the other and waved her foot, giggling and showing off her pair of brand new stilettos.
I roll my eyes and stand, giving myself one last once-over in the mirror to make sure I’m ready before turning back to Alex.
“Alright. Ready?”
She hops up and nods with a smile, grabbing her purse and pulling her phone out.
“Yep. I’ll text the girls to meet us there, you request the Uber.”
I pull up the app and set the destination, and soon after we make our way to the club.
I’m excited to meet up with the girls and have a carefree night of drinks and dancing, but my excitement quickly turns to apprehension when the Uber driver drops us off.
There are people queued up all the way down the street, and everyone in line already looks like they’ve been there a while; with impatient looks and irritated body language.
Uh-oh.
“Uhh, Alex?” I say, looking around for the girls, “Maybe we should head somewhere else, this place looks insane.”
Her eyes narrow as she scans the line, and they light up suddenly, spotting our friends about halfway through the throng of people.
“Nope,” she coos, “Look, just there.”
