“I’m really here.”
“Fuck, you’re really here.”
The guy pushes out of the chair so suddenly that it falls down on the floor with a loudbang, making other people turn toward us, not that the asshole cares. He’s wrapping his arms around his wife and lifts her in the air, his mouth crashing against hers.
“You’d think he didn’t see her for the past ten years,” Gregory shakes his head, taking a sip from his drink. “Anybody wants to play pool?”
I signal the waitress to bring us another round of drinks when Nixon finally puts his girl down. He picks up the chair, sits down, and pulls her onto his lap.
Yasmin notices the empty table. “Sorry, I made them all scurry away.”
“You came just in time. They were starting to annoy us anyhow,” I say, just as the waitress comes and brings us our drinks and takes Yasmin’s order.
“But seriously, what are you doing here?”
“It’s your birthday tomorrow.” Yasmin gently caresses his cheek. “I didn’t want you to spend it alone.”
“Well, you won’t hear me complain.” His hand goes to her neck, pulling her down…
“Okay, I’m out.” I finish my drink and get to my feet. “Do you guys need me to make scarce?”
There is no way I’m staying in our room and listening to the two of them have sex all night long. Thank you very much.
Color creeps up Yasmin’s cheeks. “Umm... no need. I got a room.”
“Perfect. I’ll see you in the morning.” I pat Nixon on the shoulder. “Try not to fall asleep.”
“Fuck off, Wentworth.”
“Happy birthday, bro.”
With another slap, I make my way to the bar, where I cover the tab before going to the elevators. The hallway is quiet, but that’s to be expected since there’s about an hour left before curfew.
Pulling the key card out of my wallet, I unlock the door and slide into the room. Flicking the switch on, I turn around only to come to a stop when I see a person in the room.
“What…”
The words die on my lips as Jade leans against her palms and smiles at me from the bed. “Surprise.”
My heart is beating frantically in my chest as I just stare at her, neither of us saying a word.
Jade slowly slides her legs off the mattress and gets to her feet. She’s dressed in my jersey that falls to mid-thigh and leaves all that smooth skin of her legs out in the open. Her hair is loose, the corner of her mouth curling upward.
“I figured you’d be surprised. That was the whole point. What I didn’t realize was that I’d leave you shellshocked,” she whispers as she moves closer, her fingers slowly tracing my chest.
I grab her wrist and blink, but she’s still here.
Real.
“Jade?”
She arches her brow. “Prescott?”
“What are you doing here?Howdid you get here?”
“Didn’t you see Yasmin?”
“I did. She just came—” The understanding flashes in my mind.
