Dixon gave a large toothy grin.
"Technically, she isn’t my girlfriend. But she is fucking hot as hell! Her and Lilli work together. That’s where I saw her for the first time. We’ve only gone out a couple of times, nothing serious." He shrugged.
"Where do they work at?" I asked.
"Downtown at Club, Inc.," Dixon said. "I can get in easily thanks to Lilli," he smiled.
"We were there the other night," Oz looked at me and I nodded as I took another drink of my beer.
"You must not have been at the bar or you would have noticed Lilli," Dixon chuckled. "She draws some attention."
"Looking like that would—" Dixon cut Oscar off.
"No, no, they all dress similar and all the girls at the bar are ridiculously hot," he took a drink "Lilli does bar tricks and draws a crowd. When she and Celia are together it is dangerous."
I raised my eyebrow and Oz answered.
"We were up in the VIP area, so we had our own bartender."
"Well if you want my advice, next time request Lilli and/or Celia. They are the best and will keep everyone happily entertained between their tricks, antics and witty sarcasm." He took another drink.
"So Dixon…" Oz looked at me then back to Dixon "What are you doing tonight?"
Dixon smiled.
Chapter Two
Conditions
Aidan
Oscar and I left Dixon’s apartment, heading home to clean up and prepare for a night out. Dixon was going to give us the Dixon special, as he called it.
Once I was showered and in the appropriate clothing for the club, I sent Oz a text saying that I was on my way. He drove this morning, so I was driving tonight. We would meet Dixon there. Once Oz was in the car, he called Dixon to tell him that we were on our way.
Dixon got there before us and told us to meet him inside at the bar. Calling ahead, I got Oz and I on the list, so when we arrived the bouncer let us right in.
Inside, the dance music was pounding loudly and lights were flashing. During the fade between songs Oz smacked my arm and pointed toward the bar. There was Dixon.
"Hey man," Oz said as he slipped in next to him.
"Shh, just watch, this is a perfect song," Dixon responded and motioned with his head to look forward. ‘Dangerous’ by Akon was pumping and in front of us was a tall, perfectly curved blonde. She looked like she could have easily given Marilyn Monroe a run for her money. She was gorgeous.
"That’s Celia," Dixon said in a cocky tone.
Lilli moved in next to Celia, they started dancing and singing to each other. I think every person at the bar was a guy, a lesbian or would have definitely become a lesbian. People crowded up at the bar, hollering and whistling, as well as drooling, over the contrast of beauty in front of them.
Celia was six feet of intimidating curves and long blond hair with lightly tanned skin. Lilli was mahogany waves, cream colored skin, probably no taller than five feet five inches but with well-proportioned curves for her frame. She had a very pinup girl type of figure. Celia had bright blue eyes and Lilli’s were hazel. They were a complete contrast but seemed to blend perfectly.
Then Celia and Lilli threw bottles, flipping them in the air. Circling around each other, they ground and sway against each other, pouring drinks. Like Dixon had said, she knew how to draw a crowd.
Lilli appeared before us.
"Need a refill?" She smiled at Dixon. He pushed his glass out to her. While Lilli was making his drink, she yelled over to us. "What can I get you guys?"
"Can I get a Corona?" Oz yelled.
Lilli nodded and looked to me with a raised brow as she sat Dixon’s drink down.
"Bourbon." Smirking at my request, she moved to get the drinks. Lilli slid the beer to Oz and then placed the Bourbon down in front of me with an umbrella in it. I laughed when she winked and smiled at me. Then she was gone, moving on to the other patrons.
Oz and I finally dragged Dixon to a table near the bar. We sat talking and flirting with women most of the night. A tall, lean red head appeared at our table and requested my presence out on the dance floor.
"Hey there gorgeous," the red head leaned down to me. "I think you need to dance with me," she grabbed at my chest, gripped my shirt and pulled me onto the floor.
Who am I to hurt her feelings?
As we passed the bar, I heard a loud burst of merriment and noise.
"Oh, dude, she totally burned you!" A guy with slick dark hair yelled at a sulking blond haired guy. Then I noticed Celia high five Lilli and toss her head back.
At the end of our night, we said goodbye to Dixon who was waiting till closing for Celia and Lilli. Oz drove since I was way too many drinks under. The plus side being that I had more time to preoccupy myself with Lorna in the back seat.

Waking up to the familiar blue walls and large windows of my bedroom the next morning was brutal. It was even worse when the redhead from last night found out I couldn’t remember her name. Then I realized she was still dressed.
