open my purse fast enough. It was exactly the message I had been waiting for, the one I was sure that wouldn’t come.
Loved meeting u 2nite. Can’t wait to see you again. Be at Santa Cruz Skydiving, Santa Cruz Airfield 9 sharp ready for 10 take off. Come straight to the clubhouse. Meet you there. LJ.
I shot off a reply, trying to play it cool, but my insides were reduced to a lump of Jell-O.
Back at ya. See you at 9. Andi.
Well, there went my night of debauchery, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Char managed to maneuver us through the throng of patrons to a corner in the club closer to the bar, and waited until I finished texting to talk. “Are you having the usual?” Thankfully, it was quieter over here, so now we could talk without screaming at each other.
“At the risk of sounding bi-polar, I’m not going to drink. Actually, I’m going to go home.”
She frowned. “You just got here. What’s going on?”
“The hottest guy in the world has asked me on a date tomorrow morning. He’s amazing.” My euphoria had returned. I was absolutely sure I must have had stars in my eyes.
“What? That’s awesome. But what happened to lusting over Ben? Today you couldn’t stop fantasizing about him and now you’re totally infatuated with this other guy?” She paused and looked me up and down, nodding her head. “I think you are bi-polar.”
I took a playful swipe at her, lightly hitting her arm. “You don’t have to agree so quickly. He’s actually a friend of Ben’s. He’s Australian and a skydive instructor. He’s taking me skydiving tomorrow.”
She squealed and grabbed my hands, practically jumping up and down on the spot. “Wow, are you kidding me? Skydiving! That is so exciting.”
“I know, right? I’m so glad you’re excited for me. Lili had this massive argument with me after he asked me out. She practically accused me of being a cheap-ass alcoholic depressive slut. Do you think she’s right?”
“You drink and go out no more than the average twenty-one-year-old. Besides, how can you be a slut when you never get past first base with anyone? She’s the one with the problem, not you.” Char bit her lip in thought. “You know she’s jealous of you, don’t you?”
I scoffed. “Why would she be jealous of me? She’s everything I’m not. I would love to be just like her.”
“She can’t handle you being the center of someone else’s attention, that’s why. I see her do it all the time. If anyone looks at you or the attention drifts away from her, she always does something to grab it back. And by the way, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You’re my bestie and I love everything about you.”
“I love you too, Char, but you are biased. There is so much wrong with me I don’t even know where to start. Your vision of me is clouded by our friendship. Oh, by the way, speaking of attention seekers, Taylor Lawson was there tonight…and she’s dating Ben.”
She squealed again, grabbing my arm, and this time, she did jump up and down with excitement. “You’re kidding me! She is one of my all time favorite actresses. Tell me everything.”
Just as I was about to launch into the action packed soap opera of earlier this evening, I felt a hand from behind run up the inside of my thigh. I jumped a foot off the ground and screamed in surprise.
I spun around and pushed away the guy who had his hand up my dress. “What the hell! Who do you think you are?”
“Hey, baby.” His speech was slurred. Even though he was pirate drunk, he was still stronger than me. I somehow managed to keep him at arms’ length with my hands on his shoulders.
“What’s wrong, sexy ass? You told me you loved this last week. Don’t you remember? Man, you were wild, one of the best screws I’ve ever had. Let’s go back to my place and fuck some more.”
I felt violated. I had no idea who this guy was. He obviously had me mistaken for someone else. “I don’t know you.” He was
