I hear the honk of the limo outside so I grab my clutch and walk out of my room. Ian was picked up by Bryan a few minutes ago and I am debating on changing without Ian knowing. He has great style but I think this might be a bit much for these small towns. Pulling my shirt up trying to hide my boobs in the extremely low cut tight black shirt Ian picked out matched with a tighter and shorter black mini skirt I reach for my sandals with three inch heels. I glance in the mirror one last time making sure the curls are still holding in my hair and leave my room.
My mom is downstairs waiting for me. Mitch has left for the bachelor party as well. I am happy to see my mom in a nice pair of dark skinny jeans and a pink blouse. It’s not as conservative as she’s been wearing but not even close to revealing. It makes her look sexy and attractive like she should.
“Oh Maddy, you look beautiful.” She rises from the couch smiling over at me.
“You don’t think it might be too much?” I start pulling my skirt down to get the fabric to stretch closer to my knees.
“Not at all. You will be beating the boys away tonight.” She lightly taps my arm.
“Thank you. You look gorgeous mom.” I place my hand on her arm in exchange.
“Thank you.” She responds while a nice shade of pink rises up her cheeks.
The other bridesmaids have already opened the champagne handing my mom and I a glass as soon as we sit down in the limo.
“Oh no thank you.” My mom says passing her glass back to the girl. I smile brightly over to her and she squeezes my knee in return.
Unfortunately, I down my drink making her frown. Lindsey is all decked out in a veil with plastic penises on it; her white shirt is embroidered with rhinestones saying Bride across her chest. She is wearing jeans with strappy black sandals. Her face is red from either the alcohol or the heat but it looks good on her. The permanent smile spread across her lips makes her that much more gorgeous.
Looking around the limo I notice besides Caroline I am dressed the smuttiest. Caroline is wearing a red halter type dress that shows off her bare back down to her waist line, her cleavage is exposed like one of her boobs is going to fall out if she bends over too quick and her dress is so short I can see she isn’t wearing underwear from my spot across from her. I am thankful Gabe will not be seeing her tonight.
We show up at a club called Spades that is in the town over. There is only a short line but Caroline prances up there and gets us all in while she puts her hand on the bouncers arm pretending to feel how big his muscles are. I can’t believe that actually works. The bouncer who is six feet four inches tall with a bald head and tattoos covering his arms looks Caroline up and down appreciating her body before motioning with his hand to go on in. We all file in line while the bouncer stares at each one of us evaluating our appearance.
The room is dark and with color lights shining down on the packed dance floor. Girls are grinding their asses into boys while their hands roam the girl’s bodies. Caroline finds us a table at the far end of the room in the back. I have never felt more on display walking through the crowd of people with men’s eyes on me. I really wish I had changed from Ian’s suggestion. We all make it safely to the table and Caroline instantly orders a round of shots. Lindsey definitely picked the right maid of honor; she is bossy and pushy as hell.
Before the shots arrive Lindsey and a couple of her bridesmaid make their way on the dance floor. I sit down with Mackenna, my mom and Lindsey’s mom. The shots are delivered and I order a vodka tonic and the other three order sodas. Lindsey is dancing with her girlfriends and whenever a guy comes near her she flashes her ring telling them to stay away. Again why can’t guys just let girls have a night out with her friends? Lindsey is clearly getting married in a couple days.
After a couple songs the girls come over taking their shots while Caroline orders another round for the table. Lindsey downs hers and then grabs me. “Come on Maddy, you are going to have fun tonight.” I stand up letting her lead me out there and I swear Caroline gives me a dirty look on my way. I’m not ignorant to the fact she hasn’t said two words to me all night.
I dance a couple songs with Lindsey letting the music relax my body. I push off any guys that come by us informing them this is a girl’s night. Lindsey smiles thanking me for taking care of it. I am in desperate need of a drink so I wave Lindsey signaling where I am going. She nods her head but continues to dance. Seriously, is this girl ever going to stop dancing?
On my way back to the table, I spot Caroline cuddled up to some guy at another table. She is practically on his lap while his arm is draped over her chair. She gives me an evil stare as I walk by before smiling nicely at the guy next to her. I collapse into the chair next to Mackenna sipping my drink waving the sweat and heat off my body.
“You should dance Kenna. Come on I will go out with you.” I say close to her ear so she can hear me.
“No way Maddy. Don’t get me wrong I am practically about to dance out of this chair but I can’t go out there shaking my body with this.” She points at her stomach.
“Kenna, it doesn’t matter.” I argue.
“No way, I’m surprised I even came tonight.” She admits taking a drink of her clear soda.
I know better than to push Mackenna so I let her be while I observe the people in the club. It is a mixture of twenties and thirties with a few older men and women. I can see couples making out in corners and others appear like they are getting to know each other. My eyes land on a guy standing at the bar looking my way. He is tall with spiky dark hair. He is wearing a black button down shirt tucked into a pair of jeans. The shirt is tight around his shoulders and arms letting me know there are muscles under there but it flows into his pants flaunting his taut waistline. His lips smirk up to me and I smile in return.
I didn’t notice him making his way over to our table but he puts out his hand asking me to dance. I don’t bother looking at the raised eyebrows around me before I accept his hand. Upon closer observation I see his sharp jaw line and hazel eyes with flecks of green in them. After leading me to the dance floor I hear it is a slow song and I suddenly wish I had declined. He wraps one arm around my waist while taking my other hand in his holding it close between us.
“What’s your name?” His deep voice asks.
“Maddy” I respond.
“Chris” he informs me.
“Nice to meet you Chris.” I say.
“Nice to meet you Maddy.”
I dance with Chris for a couple songs before he suggests we go to the bar to talk and have another drink. Since I am here for Lindsey I am about to politely decline when I hear voices caring on behind me and I feel someone grind against my back.
“Little Jennings, you are looking H.O.T. tonight” Shawn Edwards says from behind me.
I turn around smacking him on the shoulder pushing him a couple steps. Obviously he is already wasted. “Get away from me Shawn.” I yell.
“Do you know this guy?” Chris pushes between us holding me behind him. He looks like he is ready to fight Shawn.
“Yeah, don’t worry about him. He’s my brother’s friend.” I say pulling on Chris’s arm to relax.
“What are you doing here? You are supposed to be at the barn.” I ask.
“We got bored and decided to join you guys.” He shrugs his shoulders.
My eyes search the dance floor and I find Jack dancing with Lindsey, the other boyfriends of the bridesmaids are dancing with their girlfriends and Bryan has persuaded Mackenna out to the dance floor. I smile admiring them, Bryan has always had a way with Mackenna. Back at the table I see Mitch sitting next to my mom chatting with Lindsey’s parents. It isn’t until further inspection I see those blue eyes staring right at me while a red head is leaning in front of him whispering something in his ear. He isn’t paying attention to her, his eyes are fixated on me giving me goose bumps through my body.
