“So please share how you got this man to commit, inquiring minds want to know?”
“Um, I got him to commit by being myself,” Bella replied unsure of how to answer the question. Claudia gave a slight frown on her otherwise flawlessly made up face.
“You must have some tricks. I thought Chaz here was the eternal bachelor.”
“It could be my amazing snootch. I am not sure.” Bella indicated shrugging her shoulders. Claudia shook her head as if that was indeed the answer. Chaz was violently shaking his head up and down. Bella hit him playfully on the arm. Chaz wrapped her up in his arms, “That helps but she is the total package Claudia. I am a very lucky man.”
“This has to be very recent Chaz. How long have you two been together?”
“Three months,” Bella answered for Chaz. She was hoping the woman understood that Chaz was officially off the market.
“Damn, it must be, as you put it, your amazing snootch,” Claudia said before instructing a waitress to bring a bottle of champagne to the table. After pouring many glasses emptying the bottle, Claudia handed Bella and Chaz glasses.
“Here is to a successful marriage and Bella’s amazing snootch,” Claudia said as they clinked glasses. Bella laughed before burying her embarrassed face into Chaz’s jacket. The other men in the area gave nods that they were sure Bella had an amazing snootch. After leaving Claudia, who whispered into Chaz’s ear before they left, they made their way back to the table.
“She won’t be leaving that finely made up face on your pillow anytime soon,” Bella said. She indicated to Chaz she didn’t want to know what the woman whispered.
“That’s pretty much what I said,” he laughed. A trio of girls approached Bella and openly gawked at her.
“Bella Montgomery,” they exclaimed in unison. Bella released her hold on Chaz’s hand and eagerly hugged the girls.
“Look at you girl, you look hot,” one of the girls yelled. The other two girls were busy falling in lust with Chaz. Bella snapped her fingers in front of their face. They all laughed as Bella made introductions.
“Mia, Callie, and Ava this is my fiancé Chaz. Chaz these are some of my college buddies from State. We used to live in the dorms together.”
“Nice to meet you three ladies,” Chaz said politely. None of them spoke but offered their hands to Chaz. He shook each hand and fought to hold back his laughter.
“Stop swooning over my man. Guess who else is here,” Bella insisted. The three women turned to look at her and giggled. “Kennedy is at the table.”
The three women all feigned disbelief, Kennedy hardly partied in college. They walked to the table to see Kennedy making out with Horatio.
“Kennedy Hollister, are you making out in the club?” Mia asked. Kennedy pulled away from Horatio’s mouth and took in the three women. Kennedy jumped up to meet the ladies but closed Horatio’s open mouth first.
“Oh my God,” Kennedy shouted hugging each lady. The three girls entered the VIP area and talked hurriedly to Kennedy and Bella. Chaz and Horatio stood nearby trying their hardest not to stare at the five women.
“How in the hell did they make it through college without getting pregnant?” Horatio asked. “I want to impregnate all five of them right now, damn.”
Chaz threw Horatio a look that said leave Bella out of your impregnating but then agreed.
“If those five approached me I would have taken my sweet time fucking each and every one,” Chaz whispered. Horatio slapped Chaz’s hand as the women continued to talk excitedly.
“Ladies, please join this party already in progress,” Horatio said seductively. Kennedy threw him a look that told him to cork it. Horatio took this opportunity to make drinks. Chaz laughed for all his bravado, Horatio was just as pussy whipped as he was.
“You are not going to believe who is in here,” Ava informed. “Gerald Hutchins.” Ava’s short closely cropped locks paid homage to her Chinese mother but the rest of her paid homage to her African-American father. Mia was tall and with a beautiful bronzed skin color that she kept in check with tanning and a careful skin regimen. Callie shorter than the other ladies had long blond hair flowing down her back. Her huge breasts generally had men drooling.
All the ladies turned to Bella when Ava mentioned Gerald’s name. She had once been in love with the adorable Mr. Hutchins. After having his way with Bella a few times he unceremoniously dumped her in favor of another girl on her dorm floor. Horatio tried to play doting boyfriend giving each lady a glass of Absolute and cranberry juice. The ladies acknowledged with a quick ‘thank you’ but returned to chatting.
“Damn dawg, every race on the planet is right there in those five women,” Horatio pointed out taking a seat next to Chaz. They watched Julie walk up and began screaming when she saw the additional women. Julie introduced her boyfriend, Erik, before he took a seat next to Chaz and Horatio.
“That’s a lot of fine women. Damn,” Erik sighed looking at the sexily dressed women.
“Yeah we are making dirty movies in our heads starring all the ladies, care to join us?” Horatio asked as a broad smile covered his face.
Bella filled her friends in on her life and Chaz. They all talked about work and made sure to exchange numbers.
“Your fiancé is fucking fine as hell,” Mia interjected. “What does he do?”
“He owns a strip club, restaurant, clothing store, and other investments. So he is a crazy businessman,” Bella announced proudly.
“Damn, by way of street pharmaceuticals?” Mia eyed curiously.
“No by way of the army,” Bella replied smiling. She thought the same thing about Chaz in the beginning.
“Horatio is his business partner, they own a strip club together,” Kennedy interjected. “Also former army.”
“Okay so next weekend you guys have to come hang out with us at the Perfect Ten strip club,” Bella suggested as they stared incredulously at her.
“What a female strip club?” Callie asked frowning. Bella and Kennedy nodded to the affirmative.
“Trust me it is a lot of fun and we get the royal treatment,” Bella added. She understood their apprehension.
“I can’t believe the resident good girls are the ones behaving badly. Talk about role reversal,” Ava interjected. Mia and Callie shook their head in agreement.
“Um why are those two ladies and the three men looking at us like we are individual steak dinners,” Callie said nervously. The six ladies turned to look at the gawkers.
“Best Friends calm it down,” Bella said to Stephanie and Sabrina who were gawking hard. Stephanie managed a nod of the head and pulled Sabrina to the couch.
“Future husband and friends stop making dirty movies in your heads. You are making my friends uncomfortable,” Bella continued. The smiles on all their faces dropped. Mia raised her hand, “Uh you are not making me uncomfortable. I hope I am in a starring role.”
The ladies laughed as Bella, Kennedy, and Julie reminded them that the men were very taken. Horatio sent a wink Mia’s way and Kennedy ignored it. He would pay for that later.
“We have a party bus celebrating our engagement. We have another place to hit before we retire to the casino,” Bella said smoothly. When the music switched to R. Kelly urging them to
Step in the Name of Love
the ladies moved their group to the dance floor. They performed the well-known choreographed dance steps to the song along with other partygoers in the club. The men immediately went to the dance floor to watch the ladies move in unison with the crowd.
“Look at all these dudes in here wishing for five minutes,” Chaz laughed. Horatio raised his hand to indicate he was among the men.
“Fool one of those ladies is your lady. I think she is going to make you pay for that wink later.” Chaz laughed loudly.
“She saw that damn. Kennedy doesn’t play man. I love that girl she has nothing to worry about,” Horatio admitted. When the song ended and another popular song started the ladies grabbed the three men from the sidelines. The men were surrounded by six women and loved every minute. Chaz snaked a hand around Bella’s waist pulling her close. He took a few seconds to look into her brown eyes. He loved her so much. Bella would never have to worry about his love. Chaz devoured her lips and the dancing for them stopped as their friends continued to move around them.
“Come up for air Bella, please,” Ava falsely pleaded. Bella continued her intense kiss with Chaz. When the song ended so did the kiss. They walked back to the VIP area.
“Bella were you sucking face on the dance floor?” Gerald asked interrupting their walk. Gerald her one time college fling stood before her neatly dressed in a tailored suit, holding the hand of a young lady that looked bored to tears. Gerald still looked pretty good, tall, dark chocolate skin, and piercing dark eyes.
“Why yes it was me sucking face with my fiancé on the dance floor,” Bella responded smiling, “Gerald this is my fiancé Chaz. Chaz this is Gerald we went to college together.”
“Hello Chaz,” Gerald said extending his hand, “We did a little more than just go to college together.”
“Oh that’s right I forgot,” Bella said pretending to be absent minded.
“Nice to meet you Gerald,” Chaz said shaking his hand. “Bella doesn’t do much reminiscing. I keep her plenty busy making new memories.”
Gerald ignored Chaz, “You look good Bella. The Brat Pack, all of you ladies look very good.”
Gerald received a round of polite acknowledgments. He waited for return compliments but received none. This group of ladies knew how to hold a grudge. He had hurt one of their own, five years ago but that made no difference.
“Well it was nice to see you again we have to rejoin our party,” Bella said politely. She could feel the anger radiating off Chaz.
“I can see you ladies are still as close as ever. It was good seeing you all,” Gerald said pulling his date along. His date was drooling over Chaz.
“He likes to publically dump his girlfriends so be careful young lady,” Mia yelled to the young girl. She finally snapped out of her drool over Chaz to process those words. Gerald turned to see them join the large party in the VIP area and laughed. Bella was still quite pretty but shacking up with a drug dealer, what a waste.
“How long has this place been catering to drug dealers?” Gerald asked the bartender indicating the VIP area.
“Chaz? He isn’t a drug dealer he owns clubs and stores. I think he is part owner of this club as well,” the bartender said confused. Gerald’s date restarted her drool over Chaz. Gerald gingerly let her hand go and ordered himself a drink. Taking his drink he walked solo to the table with his friends. Gerald watched Bella straddle Chaz and lose herself in the man.
Instead of standing with her friends, Bella was sitting on Chaz’s lap. She didn’t want to use sex to calm his anger but he seemed peeved upon meeting Gerald.
“Baby, are you really upset?” She whispered in his ear.
“No! I just didn’t like that douche bag,” Chaz retorted. Chaz hoped the douche was somewhere in the club staring at Bella. He wanted the idiot to see what he would never have again. Bella huffed and folded her arms across her breasts. He had some nerves after Trinity and the other dancers mourned his sexual loss. Chaz reached up and unfolded her arms. Bella turned to face him and shrugged her shoulders.
“So it’s okay if I am accosted left and right with your sexual past but one lonely guy has you ready to pull out your gun?” Bella couldn’t help but laugh. Chaz was not laughing as he turned her to completely straddle his lap. Chaz didn’t like feeling jealous and he disliked the fact that clown had been inside his future wife. Given the death stares from the ladies that clown had hurt Bella back in the day.
“Just like you don’t want to meet people I have fucked. I find meeting people you have fucked just as distasteful,” Chaz said trying to quell his anger.
“Oh really? So this one time has you coursing with rage?” Bella laughed and she could feel his anger increase with her chuckles.
“This shit isn’t funny Bella.” Chaz was trying to maintain his anger. Bella shook her head and covered her mouth still laughing. “What so fucking funny?”
He was trying to retain his anger but her laughter was working on him.
“You’re cute when you’re jealous,” She cooed kissing his lips. Chaz eagerly kissed her lips and moved to her neck before dropping his head into her breasts. Chaz ran his tongue over the swell of her breasts as he gripped her ass tightly. He loved the taste of her skin and planned to do a lot of licking later.
“I can not believe what I am seeing. This isn’t the Bella I am used to,” Ava said astonished. Bella sat up but Chaz continued licking the swells of her breasts.
“He really brings out the freak in me,” Bella giggled turning her attention back to Chaz. He hungrily took her mouth and allowed his tongue to make her moan. Kennedy and Horatio both laughed as the three longtime friends watched Chaz and Bella openly make out.
“They have probably had sex like three times today and not once in their bed. And that’s just since we have been out partying tonight, so location is not an issue,” Kennedy laughed. Bella sent out an elongated finger but continued to kiss Chaz. When she came up for air she turned to face her traitorous best friend.
“Um at the last club I did not have sex. Kennedy can you say the same thing? I remember a dark corner with you and Horatio’s name on it.”
