The hours ticked by, but the cue was moving forward. We already stood on the stairs that led toward the entrance.
Then, just like that, the group in front of us were next.
The girl turned around. “Enjoy your evening.”
“Thanks, you too.” Lucian spoke with a huge grin.
“I love my disguise,” I whispered to him. The door opened and there was no sound of any music playing.
I looked through the glass door and saw another door opening into the club. Parts of the bar showed. It was packed.
Lucian handed the bouncer two tickets, and he tore the corner, handing it back to him.
The bouncer opened the door, and we both walked in.
The hallway was dark, and I grabbed Lucian’s arm, hoping not to fall.
When Lucian pushed the second door opened, drums and the strumming of the guitar were overpowering.
I followed Lucian through an ocean of people right in front of us. You couldn’t even see the stage.
“What do you want to drink, Elle?” Lucian yelled.
“Anything, as long as it’s sweet,” I yelled back as the lead singer started with the lyrics.
He nodded and grabbed my hand, pushing through the bar. Our fingers locked and my stomach literally fluttered. My heart thumbed faster.
He waited a long time to get to the front, and he spoke to the one guy with blond hair and bronze eyes.
“What can I get you?” the guy yelled as the music blared through the speakers.
Lucian leaned over the bar and spoke to the guy. His lips spread into a huge grin as his eyes landed on me.
Lucian laughed and spoke again. The guy nodded and walked to the one bouncer and muttered to him.
The bouncer lifted his hand and waved at us.
“What did you do?”
“It’s too crowded down here, so we are going to a nicer place, but in order to do that, I had to tell him who we are.”
I nodded as my heart thrummed.
We followed the guy to another set of stairs and he opened the golden rope that had a VIP board dangling from the rope.
Lucian greeted him.
“Would never have guessed it, enjoy.”
Lucian laughed, and the guy bowed his head slightly as I followed Lucian up the stairs.
“He really knows who we are?”
“Yep, the guy I spoke to is the owner, his name is Jimmy.”
“They know you do this a lot?”
“Yeah, they kept the secret, so don’t worry. Nobody will know you were here, Elle.”
