I managed a smile. “I don’t think you’ve got much choice.”

Some skinnier girls squeezed on past, disappearing inside without incident.

I turned away, determined not to get upset in front of any of the assholes, gesturing that I’d call her in the morning. I heard her pleading with the bouncers, but it fell on deaf ears. I carried on along the walk of shame, taken aback when Chelsea tottered along after me.

“Thanks,” I said. “You could have stayed.”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” she said. “As if...”

I smiled, admiring her loyalty, but she ruined it in a heartbeat.

“...I’d look like a right loser in there on my own!”

My dirty girl was easy to spot in the queue, a world removed from the silly little bitches surrounding her. I hung back from the doorway just enough, joining in a conversation with a couple of kids I knew from the training ground. The queue took a fucking age, but I couldn’t bring myself to walk away.

She’d walk past me without having a clue who I was. Maybe she’d even meet my eyes for a moment. I’d like that.

“Can I help you, Mr Redfern?” A smiley hostess grinned up at me. “The VIP area is upstairs.”

“I know where the VIP area is,” I said. “I’m fine here, thanks.”

“Are you sure?”

“Deadly.”

Gemma’s blonde friend was through the barrier first, grinning her head off as she stuck her head around the doorway. I took a breath. Any second now.

But Gemma didn’t come.

I watched in horror as Blondie dashed back to the queue, my stomach turning in knots as my dirty girl’s cheeks blushed pink.

Sneering bitches all around the place.

“This is Kings the club, love, Burger King is back up the street.”

“As if they were ever gonna let her in. Not in a million bloody years, chubby cow.”

“Look at the fat arse on it. Gross.”

My blood fucking boiled, shooting dagger eyes at the whole fucking lot of them as I barged on past. I grabbed the smiley hostess by the arm, heart pounding in my chest as I watched Gemma’s friend take off after her.

“Your bouncers just turned away a redhead and a blonde. I want them let in. VIP bar, complimentary champagne, pronto!”

She shot over like a bullet, and the bouncer glanced in my direction before opening the barrier. He dashed through the queue, heading off at speed down the street.

I stood around just long enough to make sure he’d caught up with her.

I only hoped the asshole was apologetic enough to get her to stay.

“You can’t be serious,” I snapped. “I’m not going in there now.”
