Prologue
459 Words
In the short amount of time that it took Lanna to get shots I already had three guys send speciality drinks my way and downed two. "Damn girl three cocktails already? Its only been 30 minutes." She said setting down a tray full of tequila shots. I saved my last cocktail as a chaser gor these shots, after 4 in I felt a pretty good buzz. "Okay I'm done with shots for now! Time to dance!" I grab her arm and pull her to the dance floor.
We bump and grind for what seems like hours and share a few dances with others mingling on the dance floor till our buzz wears off. Then we're back at our table, doing more shots and chatting. " thanks for getting me out of the house this was amazing I needed it!" She winks at me "I always know what you need!" We laugh " now we just need to get you a man!" Instinctively I shake my head. "Mm no I'm good after Mark I need a break!"
Lanna c***s her head and pouts "come on your very attractive, and as many drinks that have been sent to you it's obvious. Plus tons of cute guys here." Just as I'm about to answer her were interrupted by a waitress bringing me another cocktail but this cocktail was accompanied by a single purple rose and note tied to it. "From the gentleman in VIP." She says and points across the way from us, I couldn't help but detect a small bit of jealousy in her voice.
"Do you know who that man is? That's Collin Tate! What's it say?" I shrugged I know who he is but what could a man like him want with a girl like me? I read the note to and show NY friend. "Dear birthday girl, I do wish you accept my gift. My signature creation cocktail and a beautifully perfect rose for a beautifully perfect woman. Please do feel free to thank me. ~ Collin Tate " I feel a blush come to my face then, I realize he said birthday girl. How did he know it's my birthday I've never met this man in my life, but yet they way he talks or writes in this case its like he's known me my whole life.
Lanna of course doesn't put together any pieces, she's just gushing over the handwritten note and rose. As she's babbling on I get up and start to storm over to VIP, who does he think he is? When did we go back in time? Not that it isn't very sweet and thoughtful but still...who does he think he is? As I approach the Velvet rope im stopped by a bouncer.
