Who the hell are you, and what did you do with my Nae-Nae?” she asks
me laughing.
    “I’m still the same Nae-Nae, you know that.” I shoot her a
glare. “Michelle, this is Marcus, Seth, and Wade.” I say introducing her to the
rest of the band standing around us.
    Wade is still so engrossed with Gabbi rubbing her hands up
and down his tattoos, that all he mutters is a quick “Hey, baby” to her.
    Michelle greets Seth and Marcus, but then turns her sights
on Connor. The look in her eyes tells me that she means business. “Listen
Connor, I don’t know what effect it seems you have on my girl here, but let me
warn now. If you hurt her, I will have your balls. I may not be able to
actually kick your ass, but know this, we are all nurses here, and we can make
sure the coroner will think you died of natural causes. You get me?” She’s
standing with her hands on her hips looking like a pissed off little pixie.
    I stand there gaping at Michelle. She did not just say that
to him! Connor smiles his half smile that has his one dimple popping out like
it is just begging me to stand on my tiptoes and lick it. He holds his hands up
in front of him in a defensive posture. “I get it, Michelle. I value my balls
and my life. I don’t want to piss off the two of you.” He says pointing between
her and Gabbi.
    “Holy fuck! You three are nurses? You have those little
outfits you can wear for us?” Seth asks wiggling his eyebrows. “I wanna play
doctor!”
    Marcus, who has been quietly observing the interaction,
leans into Michelle whispering “You went and did it now, he’ll be talking about
this all night.”
    I noticed Michelle shiver a little, then calm herself,
looking at Seth she quips, “You can’t handle this, so don’t even bother drummer
boy.”
    It seems that my girls and his guys are going to get along
fine. I know this is only our first time really hanging out, but I can already
tell that I definitely want to spend more time with Connor, and I think he
feels the same way. He doesn’t move more than a few feet away from me when he’s
in my vicinity.
    I look down at my watch, it’s already past midnight.
“Listen, I hate to sound lame, but I have an early start tomorrow. Connor if
you want to hang, I’m sure I can catch a cab or get a ride with Michelle or
Gabbi.”
    “Absolutely not! I’ll be the one taking you home, Sweetness.
If you’re ready to leave, we’ll leave now.” Connor grabs my hand pulling me
against his side.
    My stomach knots at the idea of what Connor may expect when
he takes me home. I have been letting him paw on me all night since we got to
Silver, and I seem to melt into him every single time his lips touch mine. I
hope he doesn’t expect anything from me. As much as I can feel my body craving
more of his touch, I know that I certainly am not ready to go there, or if I
ever will be. “Yes, I’m ready to go.” I murmur shyly.
    Gabbi skips over to wrap me in a hug from behind, resting
her head on my shoulders. “I fucking love you, Nae-Nae!” she squeals in my ear
then smacks a loud kiss on my cheek. “I’m gonna hang with Wade for a while, you
let Mr. Sex On A Stick take you home!”
    Wade is grinning from ear to ear. Seth is still leering at
Michelle, who seems intent on ignoring him. Marcus is watching Connor and I
with an interesting look on his face.
    “Night y’all. It was great meeting you guys.” I say to the
rest of Shameful Regret, then turn my face to Gabbi, “Be careful, text me in
the morning. Love you!” I kiss her back on the cheek.
    Michelle comes over to whisper in my ear “Call me if you
need me. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. I love you, and I will kick
his ass if you want me to!” then gives me a hug and a smack on the ass.
    Marcus walks up, grabbing Connor’s arm. “A word, bro.” He
says pulling Connor off to the side. Marcus starts talking to Connor quietly,
and I see Connor’s posture stiffen. Connor looks irritated for some
