At this point, I’m unsure if the girls are choosing which one of us to go for, or the other way around as they whisper in their native language. The tall girl, Sofia, with long, brown hair caught my eye originally. Fortunately, she has friends.

“I always wanted to come here!” Sofia exclaims. “Thank you.”

“No problem.”

Since I’m a flashy bastard when I want to be, I order champagne. May as well make the most of the free drinks. Like the movies, I’m the rock star with chicks and this is what I do.

Will and Nate begin their usual performance, playing up the ‘twin thing’. Paula has the measure of them. When they lie over who they are, she persuades Nate to lift his t-shirt, revealing the large eagle and skull tattoo on his chest that sets him apart from his brother.

Sofia relaxes, body against mine as she flirts, attempting to keep my attention. The cut of her dress catches my attention, low cut and squeezing her tits together. She twists her fingers around the gold necklaces she’s wearing to indicate she knows I’m looking.

“Pretty necklace,” I say and as she releases the chain, I catch the cross pendant in my fingers. My fingers brush her soft skin and she coyly bites her lip, closing her hand over mine.

This chick is up for it.

“Wanna dance?” I ask.

TEGAN

I have no right to be pissed off about this. I swore to Bryn and myself, I had no interest in Jax; but only my brain was involved in that decision. My body, not so much. I watch as Jax puts his hands on the dark-haired girl, and pulls her onto the dance floor. A surprise jealousy creeps in. I expected him to want to spend time with me, despite Bryn’s warnings. The illicitness obviously put any possibility of him and me into Jax’s ‘too hard’ basket.

Or maybe Jax prefers a different girl every night, and is telling me in a roundabout way.

“How’s Cerys?” I ask Liam, turning my back to the dancers.

Liam scowls and drinks his beer.

“He misses her,” puts in Bryn. “I think he’s too old and married to enjoy touring anymore.”

“I’ve only been married a month! ‘Course I bloody miss her!”

“Couldn’t Cerys come with you? Sky came with Dylan,” I ask.

“Ella,” he says. “School and shit. They’re coming to join us at weekends.”

“So stop pouting and have another drink.” Bryn turns and beckons over the nearby barman, stationed to bring drinks when we need.

“Don’t know why you had to drag me out tonight,” Liam mutters. “You never said they’d play this shit music here when you press-ganged me into coming!”

“I told you why,” replies Bryn and inclines his head to me. “I’m not a fan either.”

“Nobody made you come!” I retort. “Go back to the hotel.”

“Next time, I choose where we’re going.”

Next time?“Sure, we’ll find somewhere more subdued. Reckon there’s a bingo hall nearby?” I ask.

Bryn scowls. “No, I mean a live music venue with real music, not this crap.”

“We can sit in the next room. I’m sure they’ll have a corner for us,” I say. “Y’know, with the other boring, old people in the quiet area. Have a nap if you like.”

“She’s still cheeky, your baby sister?” Liam shakes his head.

“Oh, yeah, never changes,” replies Bryn. “I’m heading through there though. You coming, Tegan?”

“You mean I have the choice? Does that mean I’m allowed to move more than ten metres away from you?”

“Yeah, whatever you want.”
