glow-bowling. She’d always loved bowling under the black lights at the local alley. She’d make sure to dress him up in all the white clothing he had in his closet and it would be so fun!
“Night Michelle,” she said absently.
“Night Kara,” Michelle answered with a sigh.
Thomas seemed like a really nice guy. He could be exactly what Kara needed to finally be happy in a relationship but it wouldn’t be the first time Kara’s enthusiasm and wild tendencies had pushed a level headed guy away.
Chapter Nine
“Hi Thomas!” Kara said when he walked up the sidewalk to the club around 7:30 in the evening. “I hope you didn’t have any trouble finding somewhere to park! We had to circle the block a few times.”
He nodded and pointed down the street. “I happened to come in just as someone was leaving,” he said. “It’s really crowded, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” Michelle said wryly. “Apparently this is the place to be.”
Kara held up her hands and said, “What can I say? I had no idea this was half price drink night! I can’t believe you’re complaining about a fun evening dancing with your fiancé and best friend.”
“I’m not complaining,” Michelle corrected. “I’m saying that there is a discrepancy between the quiet, practically empty club you promised and a line a mile long at the door!”
“It’s not a mile long,” Kara scoffed. “I can see the end of if just fine from right here.”
Michelle rolled her eyes affectionately and said, “I still think that, somehow, you must have known.”
“Well, I think we should go ahead and get in line,” Kara countered. “I know Hayes is going to be a little late, but we can save him a spot.”
“I guess so,” Michelle said with another glance down the street. “I hope he shows up soon though. I really don’t want to go in without him.”
“He’s a big boy, Michelle,” Kara said. “I think he can manage to get into a club by himself.”
She linked her arm through Thomas’s when Michelle walked over to get in line ahead of them.
“Hi, by the way,” Kara said grinning up at him. “I’m glad you came.”
“Sure,” he said, dipping his head to brush her lips with his. “How could I say no to such a beautiful woman? You look very nice by the way.”
“Very nice?” she said with a pout as she gave him a twirl. “That’s all you have to say for this?”
She’d worn dark grey leggings under a short black skirt and finished the look with a bright blue shirt and knee high black boots. She’d also put her hair in an elaborate twist and done her makeup to suit the fun mood of the club. It just wasn’t often that she could get everyone she cared about in one place, let alone a really fun place like a dance club and she wanted to look her best for the occasion.
“More than nice,” Thomas agreed with a smile. “How’s that?”
“We’ll have to work on your compliment giving skills,” Kara said, but she returned the smile. “Goddess-like is always a good start, for example.”
“I’ll be sure to remember,” he replied smiling as they took their places in line.
Hayes showed up when there was only one group in front of them and soon they were inside the club.
“It’s so loud!” Michelle
