Alex, my husband was out of town, and Zane, our boyfriend, and I were having our first actual date tonight. I was at Zane's apartment, getting dressed to go to a concert.
I got dressed in record fast time. Everything fit perfectly, the boots, like a second skin. I applied just a touch of eye shadow, eye liner, and lipstick and I was ready to go. My big bulky purse clashed really bad with the outfit Zane had given me.
"Hey Zane, carry my ID and cash?" I asked.
"You don't need cash, and there is an ID pocket on the top outer thigh area of your right boot."
I looked down and thought he must be nuts, I looked back at him. He finished tying his own boots and came over to me. Within seconds he's slipped my ID in the completely hidden pocket and we were out the door. Half-way to the car Thea, his downstairs neighbor, came running after us.
"Hey, where ya going?" she asked.
"Concert" was all Zane said.
"Oh neat, can I come too? Wow, Honey, you look really hot!" she said.
Zane just started at her. "Sorry Thea, it's a sold out show. We've gotta run." I said.
Zane had already started the car when I slid into the passengers' seat; shutting my door I waved to Thea as we pulled off.
"That kid is driving me nuts!" Zane said.
"She's young, inexperienced in life and lonely, she's not that bad."
"HA! Ever since we went to the stupid party she's always coming up to my apartment. When I tell her that I'm working and I can't be disturbed she says 'I'll be quiet'" in a mock tone.
"Awe, she has a crush on you baby."
"No offense, but Honey, after you and Alex, a kid like that couldn't satisfy me. Besides, she's so small, it would just feel wrong, now drop it, please. Tonight is just us okay?"
"Sure babe, no problem." I smiled at him and he took my hand in his.
We drove on in silence; when we got to the club, the doorman laughed at me when I couldn't get my ID out. So I flashed him a little putting my ID back into its little pocket.
We got a couple drinks and made our way to the only open table, it was a high table with one tall high back barstool and a low chair, like from a dining table. Since I'm shorter, I took the barstool. Sipping our drinks, talking about nothing in particular Zane's pretty face went slack and he stopped talking; I looked up to see a fierce looking red head sauntering, yes she was actually sauntering up to us.
"Zane, baby, you OK? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I kinda have, see the red head walking up?" he asked, "That soul sucking demon is my ex-girlfriend."
Before I could say anything she was at our table. Looking at Zane she said, "Zane, come to our table, I'll forgive you for the disaster you made of our lives."
Very coolly, Zane sipped his drink, "Go away Janice, I'm with someone."
"What her? You always were such a bleeding fucking heart Zane, didn't anyone ever tell you that you can fuck the pitiful ones without taking them out." She laughed at her own comment. I on the other hand was getting really pissed off.
"You should leave Janice." Zane said.
"No," she said, "I won't, because you came here knowing I'd be here and this charity case sitting next to you isn't convincing me that you didn't just come here to see me!" she yelled.
I stood up, "Look bitch, this 'charity case' has been fucking your ex-boyfriend for almost three months, if he came here just to rub something in your face and try to get you back, then would we have fucked in the shower before we came here? And let me tell you, if this is him getting back at someone, I need him mad at someone more often, cause let me tell you, the sex is a-fucking-mazing." I smiled, "I think you're so pathetic and hung up on yourself that you can't imagine him being happy with someone else, because you're miserable without him, and he loved you more than you loved him, so he should be the one devastated right? Well, tell me Janice, is it the long hard screws you miss, or laying in bed together holding each other till the sun comes us?"
Janice stood there for a minute seething, she looked at Zane and he shook his head, "Dominick is waiting for you back at your table, get out of my face."
