coffee.
Currently , the lead singer of an all girl indie punk band I know is crooning away with the karaoke machine by putting her own flair on a Pink song. “She’s good. Would I know her band if I heard it?” asks Paige, looking up at the stage.
“ They call themselves ‘Kapow’. We met them when we played The Big Day Out.”
“She’s cool .”
I wink at her. “Like all my friends.”
Finishing my coffee, I unscrew the lid from my water and take a long drink. “I feel better already. Thank you for looking out for me.”
“Anytime. I’m glad you’re having fun.”
“Surprisingly, I am. Stephanie was right, this is definitely something you have to do at least once in your life. Even if it’s just to laugh at everyone else.”

When the party is over, the boat docks outside Star City Casino at 11pm. Drunken, laughing women, holding heels that were hurting their feet, teeter their way down the gangplank and start to discuss whether they want the party to continue or just go and get cabs home.
I shake my head. “No, no, no. No more partying for me. I want to find my Theo and I want to – ”
“Want to what?” I hear a deep rumbly voice asking from behind me.
Spinning around, I instantly jump into Theo’s arms, wrapping my arms and legs around him as I shower him with kisses.
“ You came to meet me! I missed you,” I tell him between kisses.
Laughing, he asks. “Did you have a good time?”
“It would have been better if you were there.”
“Good answer,” he s ays with a smile as he lowers me to the ground and takes me by the hand. “Wanna get out of here?”
Nodding, I turn to say thank you and goodbye to everyone who attended tonight, smiling as I see couples reconnecting. Both Stephanie and Gary seem to be as drunk as each other and Elliot is looking very happy as he reunites with the sober Paige. Lisa and Marcus are also happily talking quietly to each other.
Theo and I quickly make the rounds and say goodbye to everyone, confirming that we’ll be seeing them all at the airport in a week’s time when we all fly up to Queensland. So far it looks like the weathe r is still going to hold up, and once I get Theo into our hotel room – things are going to get even better.
Chapter Thirteen
“How was your night?” I ask Theo as we wait to check in to our hotel room.
“ It was ok,” he replies. “It would have been ten times better if I was with you. The other guy’s seemed to enjoy it though.”
“ Strippers?”
“Yeah. They got you strippers too, right?”
“Yeah,” I laugh. “I covered my eyes if that helps.”
He returns my laughter with a soft chuckle. “Yeah, it does. I closed mine too.” He meets my eyes, an amused grin on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. “Aren’t we a pair?”
I nod. “We are. A perfect pair.” We stare into each other’s eyes, the air crackling between us with a tension that has been building up over the past couple of busy weeks.
“Can I help you?” the desk clerk asks, interrupting our moment.
“Yeah. We have a reservation,” Theo says, pulling out his phone and showing her the reservation number I’d texted him earlier.
She gets us to sign some paperwork and hands over the key card, and like a couple of school kids, we rush up to our room, hand in hand, eager to be alone.
The moment the door closes, we’re on each other . “Get this ridiculously tight dress off,” Theo growls. “Like all wrapping paper, it belongs on the floor.” His hands slide up my thighs and underneath the hem of my dress, his fingers biting into the flesh at my hips as he pushes my dress up to my waist.
Reaching down, I drag it up over my head, and drop it on the floor before I place my hands on Theo’s chest and push him up against the door. Sinking to my knees, I look up at him as I undo his belt.
“I hope you staye d hard for me, baby,” I murmur, sliding my hand into his pants to feel for his hard rod. I gasp. “You did,” I
