she wished to compensate in exchange for causing physical pain upon Cameron’s person. But she didn’t actually…?
“Oh, right, that.” She bites her lip and avoids my gaze.
“You didn’t.”
“I sort of did.” She leans closer to me, whispering in my ear. “The mob boss guy, I know he’s like a thug and stuff, and it was totally wrong for me to hire him to beat up Cameron, but he was kinda hot and I wasn’t going to go through with it but then it just happened.”
“Freya!”
She groans. “I know, shhh, don’t say anything, okay? He doesn’t know I had anything to do with it.” She gives me a mournful expression. “What was I supposed to do? He had this whole Thor thing going on, and I don’t usually find guys with long hair attractive, but…”
I shake my head at her, and before she can continue, the waitress comes over and someone orders a round of drinks. As she’s leaving I stop her and order a glass of water.
Once she’s gone, Freya leans into me again. “But we’re not here to discuss me. We’re here for you. Do you see anything you like?” She gestures to the table around us. There’s mostly guys, a few girls.
I glance at them, but I feel uncomfortable. This isn’t really what I wanted to do, but it’s the best option we could come up with for now.
“Well?” she asks when I’ve been silent for a minute.
“I’m not sure.”
My gaze leaves the variety of available guys at our table and moves around the club. From our vantage point, we can see the bar and we overlook the dance floor. It’s difficult to make out people on the dance floor because it’s mostly dark, but the occasional burst of light reveals faces and bits of the dancers. The bar is better, with lights running underneath the clear surface that exposes the faces of the people crowded around it.
My eyes stop on a guy leaning against the bar and talking to a couple of ladies next to him.
I nudge Freya.
She leans into me. “Yeah?”
“I think I found someone.” I point towards the bar. “There, in the white t-shirt.”
“With the dark hair?”
“Yes.”
She laughs. “You would pick that guy.”
“Do you know him?”
Before she can answer, the waitress returns with the shots for everyone. She didn’t bring my water and I don’t have the opportunity to remind her. A shot is placed in front of me, and I nudge it over to Freya. She takes hers with everyone else at the table and then drinks mine as well.
I can’t help but notice that Cameron gives her a slight scowl when he sees her taking the extra shot, but he catches me looking and smiles smoothly.
I nudge Freya with my arm. “You know him?”
“That’s Jensen’s cousin,” she tells me, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
“No!”
“Yes!” She’s laughing.
“But that’s…” I shake my head. “The odds of that are extremely unlikely.”
“And yet it’s still true. And let me tell you, Jensen is a better choice. His cousin is sort of a douche.”
“What does that mean?”
“He’s a total player.”
“You said Jensen is a total player, too,” I remind her. “And my observations indicate otherwise.”
“Well, even if Jensen does sleep around, he’s nursing a broken heart. He has a good reason to be walking the wild side. Dominic is, like, a tenth-level douchebag. He’s so evil he doesn’t have a reflection.”
“Well. I find him attractive, and therefore I am going to use him to suit my needs.”
She laughs again. “You go girl.”
I nod and then scoot to the end of the booth.
“You’re going now?” she asks.
“No time like the present. Besides, the waitress didn’t bring my water.”
“Good luck, be safe and I’ll be here if you need anything.” She gives me a quick, one-armed hug before I stand and head to the bar.
I maneuver through the crowd so that I end up next to Dominic at the bar. At this distance, I can see he’s not as attractive as Jensen, but there is something there. Maybe
