Mike stares down at his phone, at the message from Abby. He feels stuck - he's never felt this way about anyone before. None of the women he's met have ever come close to Abby - and he's not sure why. He barely knows her, but there's something about her. Something he wants to spend the rest of his life discovering.
"What's up, my man?"
Dallas sits down next to Mike. They're in the back room of Club Xquisite, cooling down after the show. Richie walks up and hands them both a beer.
"Something's up?" he asks.
"It's nothing," Mike says.
Dallas and Richie look at each other and laugh.
"So it's the girl again?" Dallas asks.
Mike sighs and nods.
"Look buddy," Richie says. "I like her. I know she's a handful but what woman isn't!"
"It's just that every time we get close, she runs away," Mike says.
"Where is she now?" Richie asks.
"She's in Tallahassee with her rich, handsome client, at the LUST club. Remember our trip there? She's probably having an amazing time. Without me."
Tarzan walks into the back room, followed by two very drunk and pretty bridesmaids. He nods at Richie, who downs his beer and stands up.
"I guess if you want her, you better go chase her."
Richie walks out and Mike turns to Dallas.
"What do you think?"
Dallas claps Mike on the shoulder.
"I think anything worth having in life is worth chasing."
Mike smiles. Then he stands and runs out the door.
