Celebration
When you see one of us usually the other two are not far. They know us as the three musketeers (girl version). The three of us have been friends since we were kids, and nothing comes between us. We have been through a lot growing up. That’s why we all went to college together because we didn’t want to be a part and we plan to stay together in the same city when we graduate in a week. That’s why we are celebrating tonight. I’m getting ahead of myself and should tell you who we are and give you some background before, I tell you how we got ourselves mixed up with the New Orleans Mafia.
My name is Scarlett and I’m a Psychiatrist major just like my mother uses to be. My cousin who I was raised with is named Leah and she is majoring in Business, then there is Brooklyn our best friend she is a pediatric Doctor major of all things with her temper. We all have different stories, but we all were there for each other and helped each other to face it all. We all thought we could handle anything that came our way till we meet them.
We wanted to celebrate getting ready to graduate from college with our doctorate’s degrees. Yes, you can have that in business. So, we heard about this new club that just opened from some others at school, so we went to check it out. When we got there, we can tell we will have a blast, if we can get in. They had this bouncer there only letting a select few ins. It was like he was taking cues from someone we couldn’t see. The next thing we know this big mean look bouncer come over to us and tells us we can go in. We all looked shocked but headed inside and it surprised me at how big the inside of the club looked. Then we turn around and the bouncer was just behind us and Brooklyn was sure he was looking at her funny. Brooklyn being Brooklyn just had to glare back at him and I elbowed her to not get us kicked out when we got in.
“Let’s grab a table before Brooklyn tells that bouncer off for looking at her,” Leah said.
We all grabbed a table in between the dance floor and the bar so we wouldn’t have to walk very far to either. Brooklyn was the first one up to go get drinks and Leah had to go to the bathroom, so that left me to watch the table. I noticed that Brooklyn had something on her mind and was hoping she would be ok. I knew she would talk to us in her own time, or at least talk to herself if she needed to. That last part was a joke.

I have seen them from my two-way mirror in my office that overlooked the crowd trying to get into my club. I wasn’t going to just let anyone in; we wanted to keep out the bad crowd. That’s when I see these three beautiful women standing in line, but the one with the jet-black hair and the most amazing eyes I have ever seen was the one that really caught my eyes. Her friend was cute, but I knew she would be mine. So, I told Rocco to let all three into the club right away. Then I called Luka at the bar and told him about the three ladies and said not to charge them for their drinks. Now, meeting her without making it known I want her. I need to keep my rep in tack as the player for now. I will head down to the club and keep an eye on the ladies for now.
Scarlett was waiting at the table for Brooklyn to return with drinks and waiting for her cousin to return from the ladies room. This should be a fun night for all of us.

I head to the bar, so my besties can loosen their asses up and have a good time. I can’t get how the bouncer was looking at me out of my head. What was his deal with me, anyway? Yeah, he was cute and all, I would even go as far and say downright sexy, but the way he was looking at me had my panties soaking wet. Maybe, I need to get laid or something. Let me get our drinks so I can head back and forget tall and Meany for a while. I get to the bar and see another good-looking man, not as hot as the bouncer but still hot. I order Scarlett her favorite drink Malibu Cocktail, Leah gets the Strawberry Daiquiri, and for me, it’s the MAI TAI. I ask the bartender what’s the damage, and he tells me there on the house. I’m not turning that down and smile and walk off back to the table with our drinks.
“About time you get back here with those drinks woman.” Scarlett yells
“You act as if you're thirsty, or something,” Brooklyn yell back
“Yeah, have you seen Leah?” Scarlett asked
“No. She not back from the bathroom yet?” Brooklyn looked shocked as she asked
“No, I will go look for her to be right back.” Scarlett got up and went to go find her cousin.
I trying to find my cousin hoping no one tried to mess with her. She is just so shy and not so sure of herself. So, I head towards the bathroom, but I notice this guy sitting at a table with the bouncer was at the door when we first came in. He was the hottest thing I have ever seen, but he looked dangerous. Then he looks over and sees me staring at him and I twist away and go back looking for my cousin. I get to the bathroom and there is my cousin asking for this big guy not to touch her and to let her go back to her friends. Now I’m pissed to see this guy is pushing himself on my cousin.
“Get your f*****g hands off her now,” I yelled at him
“Mind your busy girl before you get hurt.” He said
“She is my business dumbass.” I gave him a glare, just as he turns around and looks at me with an ugly smile on his face. He pushes my cousin into the wall and tells her to stay like a dog then walks towards me. “I told you to mind your own business, and you didn’t want to listen. So, now you will get it.” He says as he stands in front of me. Then I hear this voice behind me and I freeze. “She will get what from you John.” The man in the suit said with anger. The guy looked scared and wasn’t sure what to say to Mr. Suit. “Nothing Mr. Enzo, I was just trying to get her cousin there to go have a drink with me. When she came in and told me to leave her alone.” The ugly dude said. “Well, I think you better listen to her if you know what’s good for you John.” Mr. Suit says. I run to my cousin to make sure she is ok and I’m so glad when she shakes her head yes. I turn and tell the hot man in the suit thank you, but he disappeared. I take my cousin back to our table where Brooklyn is sitting, and she looks up at me with a what the hell took you so long look. We no longer just sat down when Brooklyn starts in with twenty questions. I get ready to tell Brooklyn what happens when this guy brings fresh drinks to our table and looks into Leah’s eyes and stares and she blushes. “See something you like their cutie,” Brooklyn says with a smile. “Yes, I do very much so.” he responses with a smile. We all crack up laughing when Leah’s face turns to beat red. Then he walks away and goes back to the bar.
“let’s go dance,” Leah says as she stands up
We follow her to the dance floor and we are all having a good time. Then we notice all three guys are watching us from a table in the back. It’s pissing Brooklyn off and it makes me wonder what’s going through their minds. I don’t think Leah noticed that the guy who brought us the drinks hasn’t taken his eyes off her yet. We let her know he is still looking at her and all she does is dance sexier than before. Sometimes my cousin can have confidence in herself and then it's gone again. I wish I knew how to help her keep it all the time. We dance a little while longer, then we head home so we can recover than get ready for our last test before graduation.
As we are walking out all three of the guys are by the door and it shocks us all to see them there. Mr. Suit steps up and says home you have enjoyed the club please come again and winks at me. The other two are just smiling at my friends, well I think the bouncer is smiling, anyway. Not sure with that look. We let him know we had fun and would try to come back again sometime. Then we headed to our car. Little did we know they followed us home. We make it home from the club and we walk into our building and into our apartment. We all just fall onto the couch and shake our heads. None of us could believe those three guys and the club was out of this world. We all knew we would go back soon.
I get up and head to my bedroom, so I could shower and get sleep. I knew it would be a long study night, and I needed to make sure I was ready. There was no way I was letting my mother down when I have come so far to make both our dreams come true. Plus, I knew with my girls they would be there every step of the way with me. Just like I would be there for them. But it was hard to fall asleep when that guy in the suit and the gray eyes just kept popping up in my mind. I don’t understand why. I finally fell asleep around 4 am is what I remember the clocking saying as I closed my eyes.
