"Sorry, Girl, I have to go get my Wild Thang."
Dirk laughs at my nickname and says."Oh no!Not you too?"
I chuckle."Yeah.Me too."I turn off the alarm and push my chips to Rebecca."You know the drill."
She asks Dirk as she cashes me out."So?"
He cuts his eyes at me and winks, then looks at her all innocent."So what?"
"So is this a real story, or is this all bullshit?"
"Oh, it's real!"
"Fucking hell!I've heard and seen a lot in my day, but nothing like that!Can I meet her?"
He looks at me and smirks."Sure."
I laugh at them."We'll meet you at the Steakhouse."
I text Siri.
On my way.
He pulls his phone out and texts his partner, The Brit.

"When Cat said 'Piper,' I nearly knocked her down on my way out the door."I laugh as I hug my long, lost friend.
She holds me tight and says in her British accent."When I found out we were coming to Vegas, I knew I had to look you up."
"I'm so happy to see you."I hold her out at arm's length."Let me look at you."She spins around in front of me, and we laugh."You look great!Fucking, smoking hot as always!"I hook my arm through hers and walk her back to my dressing room.
Cat simply says, "What Lei said.Laters, Baby Girl."Then closes the door behind us and leaves us alone.
Piper and I sit on the couch, cross-legged, and she looks around."Wow.You've really done it!You're a star!"
I laugh and look around too."Yeah.I did.Sweet Zeus, Piper, it's a long story!"
"You first, love.My tale is long too."
I laugh."Mine is going to blow your fucking mind!"
She laughs and shakes her head."I don't know about that.Mine is pretty fucking mind-blowing too."
"Shall we bet whose tale is most mind-blowing?"
"Absofuckinglutely!"
"If I win, you have to dance on stage with me tonight like old times.We have a mechanical bull."
Her eyes widen, and she says."Blimey!That's a deal.If I win, I have to dance on stage with you tonight like old times because I want to ride that mechanical bull."
