Chapter 2: The Club
The club was jumping when the trio arrived. "Lots of hot women in here tonight, eh Jess?" Brennan winked at Jesse while swiftly dodging Shalimar's foot. "I was merely trying to help him out Shal. You know I only have eyes for you!"
Shalimar rolled her own eyes; "You'd better behave yourself mister, or you'll be going home alone tonight!" She reached up and kissed him.
"Let's get a table already, you two are quite sickening!" Jesse led them to a corner booth, prefect for checking out the dance floor.
"Sorry bro, but you did get us together!" Brennan grinned.
"How could I forget with you two all over each other all the time... Hello!" Jesses attention was caught by a beautiful redhead walking by. "I think I'm going to go get a drink, see you guys later." His voice trailing off as he followed her to the bar.
"Well he's feeling better already. What do you want to drink?" Brennan asked Shalimar.
"Beer sounds good, and when you get back we dance!"
Meanwhile at the bar...
"Come here often?" Jesse asked the redhead. I sound like such an idiot he thought to himself.
"Get results with that line often?" She smiled at him.
"No, but a guy's gotta try!"
"Well lucky for you I think it's cute. My name is Jordyn and you can buy me a drink!"
"Hello Jordyn, my name is Jesse and what'll you have?"
"White wine and to dance with you." Jesse liked an upfront woman who knew what she wanted; it was refreshing not to have to guess what she was thinking.
One hour and several drinks later...
Jesse had been dancing with Jordyn since they met, only stopping to quench his thirst. His mind was clear, he hadn't thought of Lexa once; this was exactly what the doctor ordered!
"I have to freshen up, why don't we take a break?" Asked Jordyn.
"I'll be at the table in the corner when you're done, but don't take too long!" Jesse teased.
He grabbed another drink and headed back to his friends. "Having a good time Jess?" Shalimar grinned at him.
"I am so glad you guys asked me to go out tonight! I am having a fabulous time!"
Lexa suddenly appeared at the table. "Hi guys, sorry I'm late!"
"Hey Lexa, I see you got my note. I wasn't sure if you'd come out tonight." Shalimar shouted over the crowd.
"You know me, I can't miss a good party!" Lexa joked. "I need a drink, I'll be right back."
"Why did you invite her Shal?" Jesse demanded.
"I'm sorry Jess, I thought it would be rude not to invite her. I didn't even think she would show up."
Just then Jordyn returned from the ladies room: "Ready to dance some more Jesse?"
"You bet! I'll see you guys later." And with that he was gone.
"What is up with that?" Asked a surprised Brennan. "He didn't even introduce us."
"I'm thinking something happened between him and Lexa and it wasn't good." Sighed Shalimar as Lexa returned with her drink. "Where did Jesse go?"
"He's been dancing with some mystery woman since we got here."
"I see." Lexa lapsed into silence watching Jesse dance with the pretty redhead for several minutes. "We'll see about that!" She mumbled, taking off towards the dance floor.
"Oh boy, there is going to be some trouble in here tonight. Let's get out there and watch the show!" Brennan dragged Shalimar after Lexa.
