The Promise
Page 22
“Fine I will go with you” I can hear Gunner cheer and I laugh to myself. I head to the shower and get ready for my night out with some very hot rock stars.
I walk down the hall from my room to the living room where Gunner is stretched out on the couch looking all sex god like. I’m so happy I get to look at that body whenever I want to and both he and Monty think nothing of it. He turns his head towards me and I give him a twirl. “Will I do? Do I pass enough to meet these rock star friends of yours?” A big smile breaks out across his face.
“Damn girl, you are fucking hot right now. If I wasn’t madly in love with my girl in there I would so make a move on your ass right now” He says with a wink and a sexy Gunner smile.
“I freaking heard that bud, you wanna get laid tonight?” Both Gunner and I laugh out loud and I have to bend over to catch my breath.
“Oh baby you know I love you but you need to come see our girl out here” I look down at myself, I’m wearing my favorite black skinny jeans with a white tight camisole under a loose fitted camisole with ‘A Rock Star broke my heart’ written in a black script and I’m wearing my black ankle boot with a heel that I can actually walk and dance in. My blonde hair has a natural wave to it so I leave it down. I have added a few bracelets and medium hoop earrings and a long silver necklace with a silver peace sign pendant. I have gone for rock star make-up, smoky eyes with black and silver eyeliner and a touch of red lipstick.
I hear Maisie before I see her coming down the hall, her heels clicking every step. She stops when she sees me “Fuck. Me. Lucy Sinead Cooper is fucking fuckable this evening. Not that you aren’t fuckable any other time but damn girl, my boy is right. If I was a lesbian I would so make a move right now” I giggle and shake my head.
“Okay my two sexiest and most favorite ladies, let’s hit the club and have a fucking epic night” I follow them both out my door. We head down stairs to Gunner’s jeep, which has its top down; it’s the only way to drive in hot and sunny California. Plus Gunner surfs so it’s suits his lifestyle. Gunner opens the door for me to climb in and Maisie follows after kissing Gunner on the cheek. “Fuck is that all I get baby?” I smile and look at my phone and check my Twitter, as I know that they are going to go into full PDA mode. I sneak a glance and yep I was right full PDA and I laugh to myself.
“Oh God Gun put her down, you promised me a good night. So move that sexy ass of yours yeah?” They smile while still attached at the lips and Gunner finally lifts his head to me with that sexy Gunner smile.
“Okay honey bear we can go, but be prepared for more PDA tonight. You never know you might get lucky yourself baby girl” He says with a wink. Not fucking likely. I’m so not into dating at all at the moment and I don’t do casual hook ups. I enjoy kissing though so if I get to kiss some guy tonight then groovy.
We park around the back of the club and have to walk around to the front, there is already music playing inside and there is still a line of party people waiting to go in. Max Point is a popular club with students. It’s near the beach which is another good thing as I love the water. Gunner puts his arms around both Maisie and me and walks towards the door. I can hear people mumbling about his skipping the line. Gunner smiles at the doorman “Hey Jase, how you doing tonight man?” The doorman has got to be way over six feet, this guy is huge. With his dark buzz cut hair and bulging muscles covered in tattoos. They do the typical hand man-hug, fist bump thing, and then Gunner replaces his arms around Maisie and me.
”What’s up Gun? I’m all good here dude. I see you’re all good too man.” He smiles at me and Maisie, Gunner smiles and kisses Maisie on the head and turns to do the same to me. Nice, now Jase is going to think I’m with Gunner as well. I laugh and step away from them both and walk towards the door. “You need a stamp sweetness, so you can come back outside and go back in with no worries or bitching from this lot” He gestures towards the growing line.
“Okay cool, so where do you wanna put it” I say with a smirk. Jase smiles at me.
“Anywhere you want me to put it baby” He says with a wink. These men really like to wink. I give him my wrist and shrug my shoulders. He smiles at stamps the inside on my right wrist. I look at it as I’m walking into the club. I was expecting a symbol that’s linked to the club or even Max Point’s name but nope. I have a stamp that says ‘I Love Inside Noise’ I look up from my wrist to Gunner who is smiling at me.
“It’s a band thing, the guys thought of it for their groupies” He says with a slight shrug.
I frown “Groupies? Really? They are a college band Gun; do girls really fall at their feet?” He smiles and walks past me. Maisie stops at me.
“Yeah babe they do” She winks and follows Gunner to the bar.
The club is packed full; I guess the band is popular. I slide up besides Maisie and Gunner to order my drink “What can I get you doll?” The bartender asks me with a full panty dropping smile.
“Bottle Coors please, no glass”
He nods “Coming right up” And he walks away to get my drink, Monty and Gunner are talking to another male bartender, who is rather preppy looking. So I look around the room while waiting for my drink. I feel cool fingers slide down my arm that’s resting on the bar, I turn back to the bar and I notice it the hottie bartender getting my attention.
“Hi again and thanks” I say taking my drink with a wink.
“So what’s your name? Not seen you here before, you new to Cali?” I look at him with his bleach blonde short but shaggy hair, sparkling blue eyes full surfer dude.
“I’m Lucy. Not been to this place before but I’m from Cali but I moved here a few weeks ago, a few friends of mine go to SoCal. And you are?” Maisie elbows me and smiles, God I love this girl but can she be any more obvious that she likes that the bartender that is hitting on me. “So?” I look at him still waiting for a response.
“Hi, I’m Jackson. Lived here all my life. I work here part time and I’m a part time surf instructor. So if you’re not a student, what do you do here?” I smile, very nice in deed.
“Nice to meet you Jackson. I work, taking a year off from studying. I think I had better go and join my friends at their table. Maybe I will catch you later?” He nod while licking his lips watching me walk away.
I spot Monty and Gunner sitting at a table seated between the bar and stage where the bands equipment is already set up. There are girls already filling the dance floor and crowding the stage. There is two microphones and 2 guitars set up and a black and silver drum kit at the back of the stage. The main bass drum has a silhouette of a black phoenix and the name Inside Noise in red. As I take in the picture a shiver runs through me. OK where did that come from?
Okay I got a bad feeling about this band. The lights dim and three figures appear on stage and the crowd of girls go wild. Another shiver runs through me again. I rub my arms and Gunner mouths “Are you okay?” I nod and we go back to watching the band start. I steady beat from the drums start, and then the guitar’s starts up. The girls go crazy. The beats build and build and then the lights hit the stage and I freeze. Fuck. Me. The summer hits me all over again. Panic sets in, I can’t be here. They can’t see me. Fuck.
Inside Noise are the Phoenix triplets. Reeve, Ryder and Rafe. Shit.
I stand to leave but Maisie taps my arm. “Where you going? You okay?” I look from Maisie to the stage and I see 3 pairs of eyes on me. They look at me then at each other, except on Rafe keeps his eyes locked on mine.
“I can’t be here Maise, I can’t” I look back at the stage and catch Rafe still looking at me, he shakes his head ‘no’ and mouths “Sit” I stand for a few minutes and then sit. I thought I had escaped my old life but evidently not.
