"That's perfect!"She types it on her phone."Did I tell you I love you today?"
"Several times."
"Did I tell you that you are my hero today?"
"Several times."
She hits send and then turns to look at me.
"Did I tell you you're a genius?"
"No.First time I've heard that one today."
"Well, you're a genius."Her phone dings, and she reads it, then grins."He likes the dual idea."She sets it down and asks."So, tell me the story about how you got the nickname Hardcore."
I entertain her with the wingman story as told by Dirk."When he overheard me using a line on flirting chicks, he told me that was hardcore.The name stuck."
"What was the line?"
"'I'm not into you, so I'm not getting into you.'"
"That's hardcore, alright.Straight line, not curved."
"Affirmative."I turn the blinker on and pull into the turn lane to wait for a break in the traffic.She sits up when she realizes we are here.Her excitement level just jumped off the chart."Hang on, Wild Thang!"I laugh.
She grins at me then beats her thighs."Eek!"
When I park, I lock her door and tell her."I'll open your door and escort you in.I don't want you without protection.I won't have you mobbed."
She looks under the canopy at the crowd of people, and I see her complete trust in them, but says, nonetheless, "Ok.Whatever you say.But hurry!I can't fucking wait!"
I look out and realize there are a lot more people than I'm comfortable with walking in with her alone."On second thought."I reach behind my seat and pull out a baseball cap, hand it to her and say."Hair up.Hat on."Then I open the glove box and give her my spare Ray-Ban sunglasses."Put these on, and don't dance!"
She giggles.
As we walk in holding hands, I tell her."I would feel a lot more comfortable if Brutus was here too."
When we discussed the exact ambush point on the drive over, Siri nixed texting him."He isn't scheduled until 10 p.m.every night, and if he comes in early, everyone will know I'm here."
She pushes her tits against my arm."You got this Sugar Bare!"
I scan the crowd as we walk, though.No one is paying us any attention.Amazingly the hat and sunglasses are working.As we approach Table 56, I see Rebecca entertaining a single patron."Want to surprise Rebecca first?"
"I do!"
We walk up, and as we approach, Rebecca, scanning for new marks to attract, sees us.She squeals and bounces up and down at her table.Siri gives her a twinkling finger wave and walks behind her station.She gives her a sincere hard hug, and Rebecca tells her."Love looks so good on you!You are practically glowing with happiness!"
"It feels pretty fucking good too!"Then she turns to the gambler."Excuse us.I've just returned from a long hiatus.I didn't mean to interrupt your game."She lowers my Ray-bans and winks at the dude.
He laughs."I didn't mind at all.It was quite enjoyable."He looks over his shoulder at me."Right?"
I nod.Then Siri returns to me, and I drape my arm over her shoulder.She lays her hand possessively on my abs, and I love the way that makes me feel.Proud I'm hers.
Siri tells her we are popping in to surprise everyone, and they will catch up at the party.Rebecca nods."I can't wait to hear the details."She looks back down at the dude as we walk off and says."Do you realize how lucky you are?That was Seary!Our headliner."
I can feel his eyes boring into us, and I give her shoulders a little squeeze."Word will spread fast, you know."
She laughs."I know.We can't stop again.We have to go straight to the Club and to the dressing room."
