I’m ready to run to the bathroom when Lana appears behind me in the mirror.
“Oh my god, Eden. Did you hear about Rodney?” she asks in an excited rush.
Stiffening, I shake my head and play dumb.
“He accidentally cut his hand off!” she exclaims and takes the stool beside me.
Staring at our reflections in the mirror, I make my eyes go wide and ask, “What? How?”
Lana’s lips thin into a frown. “He did it while working on his car.”
It’s no secret Rodney and I didn’t get along. To act upset would be suspicious so I frown with her. “That sucks…”
“He won’t be back to work for a couple weeks. Until then, Lucifer’s men will be watching the club.”
“Lucifer’s men?”
Lana picks up a tube of lipstick and twists the lid off. “Yeah, the ones that were here last night. Did you see them?”
“I think so…” I say tentatively, afraid to play it too dumb.
Stabbing my mascara wand back into the tube, I start to stand up.
But her next words drop me right back down to my ass. “Well, one of them saw you. He’s been asking for you all night.”
“What?”
Lana smiles before she touches her lips up. “He won’t let anyone serve him. Won’t let any of the girls near him. And trust me, those bitches have been trying.”
Pressing her lips together, she smacks them a couple of times before she turns towards me. “You must have made quite the impression.”
“I…”
I don’t even know what to say.
Is it Jude? It has to be Jude.
Ihopeit’s Jude.
Because if it’s one of the others, I’m truly fucked.
Setting the tube of lipstick down, Lana stands up. “This is it, Eden. This is your ticket out of here.”
A fresh wave of nausea rolls over me and my entire body feels numb.
Ticket out of here?
More like my ticket straight to Hell.
Reaching down, Lana takes me by the hand and pulls me to my feet.
When I only stare at her, trying my damnedest not to pass out, she looks at me meaningfully. “A lot of girls would kill to have this chance.”
Gripping my shoulders, she turns me towards the door. “Get out there and grab him by the balls. Don’t let him get away.”
Before I can protest or correct her, she gives me a little shove.
I love Lana, I truly do.
