A stunning brunette hostess with the biggest boobs I’ve ever seen leads us up the spiral stairs. The club is live tonight. Colorful lights stream around the room as the DJ blasts music. Our bottle service girl introduces herself to us and pours three glasses of champagne, then opens a bottle of tequila for us.
I’m going to regret this in the morning.
I look around and find Matteo and Tony already in the VIP section, who are standing at either exit just in case something happens.
“Oh, I’ll be right back. I told Max I’d meet her,” Maya yells into my ear, getting up.
Max’s name is Meixiang. She’s a Chinese-international student who’s finishing her PhD in Chemistry. She’s currently looking for a job to become a pharmaceutical scientist so she can stay in the states under a work visa. She’s a literal genius.
“Tell her she can join us!” I yell back.
“I will, but it’s not really her scene!” Maya runs off.
“Let’s dance when Maya gets back!” Donna yells as she pours us each another glass.
Two men approach. One looks like he had just graduated high school, while the other wouldn’t even make eye contact with us. The younger-looking one opens his mouth, but before he could utter anything, Donna shoots him the death glare from hell, and they both scramble.
We would eat them alive. How did they even get up here? As they make their escape, Maya appears.
“You’re totally getting laid tonight,” Maya yells over the music. “You look so hot!”
“Oh, yes, please. Let’s find some hot, delicious men whose lives we can ruin.” Donna claps.
We finish our champagne and shimmy to the dance floor. As we head down the spiral staircase, Maya hands me a small bag of pills.
“Where did you get these?” I ask, surprised—though I really shouldn’t be.
ThisisMaya.
“Max! She’s been making her own special concoction of shit to earn some extra cash,” Maya replies before popping a pill in her mouth.
“No thanks!” I hand her back the bag, remembering the conversation I’d had with Papa and Dom earlier.
I don’t have any qualms with drugs, but I can’t risk it at a time like this.
“Suit yourself,” Maya says as she shoves the bag into her clutch. “I can’t believe she hasn’t snatched up a job yet.”
“I don’t think you can stroll in and be like, ‘Hey, guys, I have this drug that could be borderline lethal, definitely illegal, but it makes you feel good. Trust me—I’ve tested it on all my friends! Hire me,’” I reply sarcastically, and Maya huffs into a laughing fit.
As we make our way to the dance floor, a group of men with a table pull us in. Bachelor party. The guys are wasted but a total ball to be with. They offer us shots, and we clink glasses to congratulate the groom. They have a bachelor weekend bucket list, and one of the items is to convince a woman to flash them. Maya, of course, takes them up on the offer. As the group is mingling, I feel a set of eyes on me. I look over to my right, and a very tall handsome man is walking my way. As he gets close to me, I realize who he is.
“Hi,” he says, nodding.
“Hi,” I say back.
Brushing hair behind my ear, I pretend to be shy, taking in his features. He’s tall, tan, and lean. His long dark hair is pushed back, and he has a gorgeous set of hazel eyes. I’m looking for any visible weapons, but he probably thinks I’m just checking him out. I want to laugh. Men always underestimate women. I can’t let him know I recognize him.
“Dante,” he says as he sticks his hand out. “Can I get you something to drink?”
The enforcer for the Cosa Nostra. This can’t be one of their clubs, can it?
Maya’s eyes widen from behind him as she mouths, “He’s cute!”
Looking away from her, I stifle a laugh to glance back at him and take his hand. “Natalie.”
He then looks around and back at me. “I’m sorry, but I have to go.”
“What was that about?” Donna asks as he walks away.
