Chapter 441 - Spirit Pavilion (2) (1/2)
~ Reno, Spirit Pavilion Nightclub ~
Two couples were escorted by a staff member to the VIP room of the owner.
”Mr. Carter sends his greetings and hopes that you enjoy your evening at his club.”, the staff member politely said before leaving the room.
”Not bad.” Aiden looked around and found the large sofa comfortable. It's quite deep and it can fit at least ten people.
”I just wish for a privacy screen we have in Black Rose.” Sarah smiled and sat next to Aiden.
Aiden gave a nod of approval for the privacy screen. ”Next time we are in Seattle, we should go to Black Rose and… check out that VIP room.”
Sarah's eyes widened when she heard him emphasizing words 'check out'. She knows that they are using it as a code word for intimacy. But in a club? Full of people?!! She started thinking how even if the club is packed, with privacy screen on, no one can see them. Without realizing, her thoughts started wondering through alleys of possibilities and she blushed.
Aiden leaned closer and whispered in her ear. ”I will take that as a 'yes'.”
Jeff apprehensively looked at the crowd of people dancing below.
”Want to dance?” JoAnna smiled while bobbing her head excitingly.
Jeff frowned, not daring to look at her. He already told her that he does not dance. What they did at a party few days ago was just slightly swaying their bodies. What those people down there do includes moving their limbs vigorously, and even their heads look like they are bouncing. Too complicated!
JoAnna giggled. ”After few beers, we will be down there dancing!”
”Beers?” Jeff looked at JoAnna who was wiggling her body goofily. He remembered when he found her in Seattle in front of a club. On an edge of the fountain. Drunk. It was a pleasant memory for him, and he smiled. ”Will you drink with me?”
JoAnna nodded enthusiastically. ”It's a club! I don't go to a club often, and I don't drink often. But when I go to a club, I drink.”
Jeff laughed and pulled her in his embrace. He spoke in a low voice, ”If you drink too much, will you end up in my bed?”
JoAnna remembered that night in Seattle. Actually, she remembered next morning, because her memory fails when trying to think about that evening when she was drunk. JoAnna blushed and smiled. ”I hope.”
Not long after, a waiter brought four bottles: two beers and two sparkling waters. He opened bottles in front of them, each made a satisfying 'Pshhh…' sound. They refused glasses and chose to drink from bottles. All of them drink only from sealed containers when in an unknown place. Knowing about multitude of schemes going around with spiking drinks, none of them feels safe ordering a cocktail or a beverage which arrives in a glass.
Jeff looked at Aiden. ”How come you are drinking bubbly water?”
”I'm with her.” Aiden gestured with his head toward Sarah.
Sarah was surprised by the implication of Jeff's question and Aiden's response. She looked at Aiden. ”You would drink something with alcohol if it's not for me?”
Aiden smiled and shook his head lightly. ”It's not a problem. Don't make it sound like it's a big deal.”
Sarah's heart was moved. Aiden always drank the same beverage she did. She never thought about the possibility that he would rather have something else. Now that she thought about it, she does not know what his favorite beverage is.
…
Down on the main level. Roxy was sitting at the bar with Priscilla next to her. They managed to confirm that four young people entered VIP room. Two males and two females. But they are too far away and it's too dark to see them clearly in order to recognize them or to confirm that they are someone they don't know.
