them.
Roxi put her drink down. “Are you going to shut up now?” She asked.
I knew that look. “Roxi don’t fuck around and do something to embarrass me, I’m going to walk all over you with my heels!” I threatened. She stopped and looked at me.
“Niccce, grrrr!” She growled clawing at me. Kaci and I started to laugh, “Seriously stop!” I begged still laughing.
“But you just gave me an incentive.” She pouted giving me the puppy eyes again, she then started to whimper.
“Ah listen! That face and those sounds belong to Peter, your husband, so stop looking at me like that, I’m not him” I put my hands up to her. We all laughed and began drinking again.
I grabbed my drink letting the vodka slowly trickle down my throat burning as it went along, damn that’s good.
“So why are we here today?”
“Apparently, there’s a new landlord who bought all the properties around here. My sister saw him and told me to tell you guys and I quote he’s ‘Dickilicious.’. He’s coming here tonight to meet my bro-in-law, so who knows maybe one of you can score big.” She smiled devilishly.
“He bought all these properties?” I circled my finger in the air.
“Yeah he did. I don’t know much about him, just that he’s some big wig and that he’s super loaded and is big into buying property everywhere.”
Kaci and I shrugged as Roxi was pulled into a bear hug from her brother-in-law. He was a nice guy, her sister was seriously lucky to have found him.
“So ladies what are we drinking?” He asked.
“VODKA!” We screamed again and laughed. I was starting to feel light headed, so I knew it was time to slow down. I called Jaks over and ordered a bottle of water.
“So who’s this guy?” Roxi asked her brother-in-law.
“You’ll know when you see him, the guy is a magnet. Even I’m attracted to him!” We laughed hysterically at his comment.
“Bathroom?” I stood off my barstool.
“Down the hall.” Roxi pointed and continued her conversation with her brother-in-law.
Kaci grabbed my arm “Do you want me to go with you? Crowds.” She nudged her head to the back of her.
I smiled reassuring her “It’s ok, it’s not too bad.” It really wasn’t it was a sit down bar nothing to wild or crazy but Roxi and Kaci always made sure I was comfortable where ever I was.
I started to head towards the bathroom to freshen up, when a slimy little guy who was shorter than me blocked my way. You have to be kidding me. He had black hair that was gelled back, but was hard like a helmet. He wore a thick gold chain, his outfit screamed rip off of the Night at the Roxbury.
“Hey there pretty lady?” Oh Jesus. I thought that these places had bouncers for these types of guys.
“No comprendo!” I said in the little Spanish I knew from college.
“Good.” He murmured.
Great! I’m going to have to get into a fight with a loser at my friend’s brother-in-law’s bar in my awesome dress and my fuck me high heels. This was so not the type of guy I was hoping to get. I tried to move but he blocked me again, making me extremely angry.
When I finally passed him, he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. “Where are you going baby? I’m not done talking to you.”
I truly hate it when a man calls me baby and it’s for this exact reason. I turned to twist my arm to get it free and punch the fucker out but all I heard was a hard shove against the wall. My body moved with him since he still held onto me. I hit the wall hard and almost fell over when he finally let go of me.
He was being held off the floor by at least four inches.
“Apologize to her!” That voice, it was Lukas. He had on a form fitted white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a pair of jeans.
“Apologize or I’ll rip your fucken head off!” He roared so loudly that I’m sure the whole place heard him. Roxi and Kaci were now at the other end of the hall, watching all this unfold. The guy finally spit out a
