sure she’s comfortable.
Suddenly hearing Avery’s voice does the trick though. I am no longer horny or hard. I don’t know what the fuck the girl is doing here but I really need her to stay away from Harley.
HARLEY POV
I wave to Jesse when I see him standing next to Owen, the bouncer-cross-security guy Daddy hired to make sure no trouble happens at the club whenever he isn’t there to watch over it.
We say our hello ’s to Owen before he escorts us inside to one of the booth areas. Anna finally convinced my father to hire a couple of students from the nearby college to work at the bar temporarily whenever they were out of town. Jesse is now head barman and tonight is the first time we actually get to enjoy the bar without working behind it. Jesse still keeps a close eye on the staff though.
Brent heads over to the bar to get all of us drinks and something non-alcoholic for himself.
The crowd is young and noisy tonight and people have even started dancing near the little stage where a DJ is playing some track that has heavy base, I haven’t been keeping up with what’s new so I have no idea whose singing but it’s loud and the beat just makes you want to move your body.
I dance with Jesse most of the evening because apparently Caleb doesn’t dance. This I find hard to believe because the old Caleb used to dance so I have no idea when the no dancing thing happened. I still feel his eyes on me wherever I go and this makes him not wanting to dance a little easier to digest.
Caleb, Jesse and I do shots and already after the first two I can feel the alcohol working its magic. I’m giggly and hyperactive and feeling like my young self with no worries in the world.
Haven’t laughed this much in a very long time!
Jesse and I are making our way back up to the booth when I hear a high pitched squeal. I look up just in time to see a girl jump into Caleb’s arms, that’s not what confuses me though. The part where Caleb throws his arms around her and swings her around as he chuckles sure does fuck with my head.
“What the hell?” Jesse says standing by my side.
The girl pulls away from Caleb then tugs him into a hug again. When she pulls away this time I look her over.
F ucking gorgeous!
She has blond hair like me but the tips are dipped blue. She’s tall and even though she’s thin, she still has a lush body. She has a mini skirt on paired with a band shir t. She puts my “rock look” to shame and the girl even has sneakers on. I know just by looking at her that she doesn’t have to try hard to look good.
She ’s every girlfriend’s biggest fucking nightmare.
“I’ve missed you so much!” She says happily holding onto his bicep and standing a little too close for my comfort. At this point jealousy runs wild within me. Caleb looks down at her fondly and doesn’t bother to remove her hand or even back away from her. My disappointment in him is a feeling I know all too well.
“ It’s probably not as bad as it looks Harlz.” Jesse leans down and whispers in my ear.
“It’s good to see you, you’re looking good Avery.” Caleb says looking her over.
I turn to Jesse and give him a defeated look, “Right….” I mumble and head around the two making my way to the table to collect my bag and get the hell outta here.
“Harley! ” I hear Caleb’s voice call out. I turn and give him a little smile afraid I may just burst into tears. I walk up to them and smile at the pretty woman. Caleb doesn’t even pull me close like he usually does either.
“Harley, this is Avery. Avery this is …uh… this is Harley.” He says sounding nervous, what he doesn’t say is that I’m his girl and the mother of his child.
She smiles as she looks down at me and I can tell it’s a genuine smile. Her eyes are glazed over though and I can tell she’s on some serious high. The way she looks at me is as if she knows me or has met me before is freaking me out a little, I’ve never seen this woman in my
