The last person I expected to come to this party was my brother. He made it clear that he had other matters to attend to, so I didn’t count on him showing up here.

I look back at Frank and he seems amused by how nervous I am.

“You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?” I shake my head at him.

“How can I not enjoy this? You brought this upon yourself. How the hell are you going to get out of this one?”

look around as I think of a way to leave, but the only exit is on the other side. And because we’re in the VIP section, it doesn’t have a lot of people so it’s easy to spot me.

“There you are, big brother!” Jake cheerfully says to me.

Fuck. I’m so screwed, just like Frank said.

Trying to quickly come up with possible explanations, I rise to my feet and turn around to face Jake.

“What are you doing here?” I ask. “I thought you said you wouldn’t come, Frank didn’t even put you on the list”

“I know what I said, but on second thought, I’ve seen people posting pictures and I saw lots of gorgeous girls in here. I need a few for the night.”

“Just a moment, young fella, Frank chimes in. “The girls at table 9 are mine.”

“I see.” Jake raises his hands in defeat. “Well, there’s plenty more to go around so don’t worry about me. I’m just here to have a good time. Now why is it just the two of you here? I can’t see Vanessa. Where is she? Did she just go to the ladies room or something? I want to see her.”

I already knew this was coming, but I’m still not prepared. Shit.

“Vanessa’s not here,” I say to him.

“I know, but where can I find her? is she upstairs or something?”

“I left her at home.”

“You left her?” His eyes widen.

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“She didn’t want to come because she’s not feeling well.”
