I walk into the Rehearsal dinner and greet my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. I congratulate my cousin Therese and meet her fiance, Georg. Georg introduces me to his parents and his brothers and sisters. All of this social stuff gets to me so after a few minutes I excuse myself and move over to the bar to get an Absolut and tonic. I look around the room and see my parents, so I head over and greet them. They ask me 1000 questions and I faithfully answer all of them. I spend some more time talking to my mother and assure her that I am really taking care of myself. I look over by the bar and see Jacqueline getting a drink.
I excuse myself and tell my Mom I will see her later. I move over by Jacqueline and put my arm around her waist and say, “Hi roomie, how you doing”. She looks startled for a second, but then smiles at me. She introduces me to three other woman, two of whom are also bridesmaids and the third girl who it turns out attends the same college as Jacqueline. The girls are talking about meeting in the hotel club after the dinner and hanging out and dancing. Jacqueline turns to me and asks if I would like to join them and I agree. We chat some more until my uncle comes over and asks us to take a seat. I end up sitting between two of Georg’s friends.
Dinner passes quickly since I spend the entire meal shamelessly flirting with the guy on my left who is drop dead cute. His name is Daniel. Daniel is very attentive and I have a great time talking with him. He will be one of Georg’s ushers and is a great guy. I tell him that some of the girls are heading to the club to dance after dinner is completed and invite him to join us. He tells me that he and some of the other guys are taking Georg out for a few drinks but he will stick his head in afterwards to see if we are still there.
After dinner, seven of us head into the club. Besides Jacqueline and myself five other girls join us. Three of the girls are bridesmaids, one is the maid of honor, the bride to be and Jacqueline’s roommate, the girl I met during the rehearsal dinner. We pull three small tables together right by the dance floor. The club is mostly empty so we have a lot of space. The DJ tries to entice us onto the dance floor. Two girls get up and begin to dance. I turn to one of the bridesmaids and ask her how she knows Therese. It turns out she is Georg’s sister.
With that information, I tell her I sat next to Daniel. She immediately starts telling me how cute he is and what a great guy he is. Jaqueline is sitting near us and joins in the conversation by offering that it seemed I was attracted to Daniel. I replied that he was a doll and we had a great time meeting. I looked over at Jacqueline and smiled. I sense that Jacqueline is unhappy with this conversation, so I stood up and pulled her onto the dance floor. As we begin to dance, I lean over and tell Jacqueline to relax and not make a scene. She apologizes and tells me she was just feeling jealous. I assure her I have full intentions of taking her back to our room and continuing what we had started. Jacqueline whispers in my ear that she is really looking forward to that.
