With that, we pile into the car and before we know it, we're pulling up at the club.
For some reason, nerves start to take over and I have no idea why but it completely freaks me out. Why the hell am I nervous? I’ve been with a million girls and never once felt this way but there’s something about Elle. I just need to know her. I need to be next to her and find out what makes her tick. What does she like? who are her friends? Where does she live and why the fuck hasn’t she agreed to go out with me yet?
I shake it off as we make our way towards the door. “What’s up with you?” Jace asks as he reaches for the door. “You look… sick.”
“Nah, I’m fine,” I tell him as I walk past while he holds the door open for the rest of our group. My eyes instantly start scanning the room and I’m not disappointed when I find Elle, looking as radiant as ever in a gold, sequined dress, leaning across the bar and reaching for her drink. She stands with a friend, laughing as she sips in her drink.
I find myself unable to move as I watch her. The flashing lights of the club illuminating her blonde hair and making her look like the only person in the room. My nerves instantly settle and a feeling of rightness takes over. In this moment, I’m exactly where I need to be.
“He’s right,” Cass buts in with a curious look. “You look funny… what’s going on?”
“Nothing,” I say defensively but my argument is cut short the second she turns her head towards the bar and notices the blonde bombshell looking like a Greek goddess.
“Oh. My. God,” she shrieks with a smug look. “You’re here to see Elle, aren’t you?”
“No,” I say. “It’s a complete coincidence.”
“Bullshit,” she laughs before turning back to our group. “Logan’s girlfriend is here,” she teases as they look to me in shock.
“Girlfriend?” Sean grunts in disbelief.
I shake my head. "She's not my girlfriend," I say as Cass starts pointing her out to everyone. Each of the guys instantly get a look of appreciation come over their faces as they take in my girl.
“She’s hot,” Carter says. “Why don’t you go for it?”
“It’s not for lack of trying,” I tell him. “She’s the new junior physio on the team and doesn’t want to get caught messing around with the players.”
Understanding dawns on all their faces but they all know I’m going to give it a go anyway.
“Alright,” Sean says as he takes Sara’s hand. “Let’s get this night started.”
“Fuck yeah,” Carter calls as he grabs Brianna and yanks her towards the bar.
I stay back with Jace and Lacey and find ourselves a table while the other’s go and grab a shit load of drinks and food for us all.
I watch as Carter and Bri walk by Elle. I grin in amusement as her eyes instantly latch onto Carter like she’s seeing a ghost. Her eyes follow him which is when she sees Bri’s hand in Carters and a look of disappointment takes over her before she covers it up and starts pointing him out to her friend. It’s damn clear she thinks Carter is me, we’re just that identical.
The need to put her out of her misery takes over and I make my way across the club. I squeeze myself in between the girls and throw my arms over each other their shoulders as the two of them continue to check out Carter. “See something you like, ladies?” I smirk.
Elle’s head flicks towards me instantly before recognition hits and a gasp followed by a curse comes flying out of her mouth. “Holy shit, Logan. What are you doing here?” I’m caught off guard by her beauty and feel momentarily paralysed so I’m thankful when her friend cuts in.
“Huh?” her friend says as she looks to me before hooking her thumb in Carters direction. “I thought that was Logan?”
“No, no. He’s not as handsome as me,” I say with a cheeky wink in her direction.
Her face instantly flushes as she makes a show of fanning herself. “My, oh my,” she grins. “You’re right about that. I’m Jaz.”
“Hey,” Elle says, cutting off whatever smart-ass response I was about to give before fixing me with a look of pure suspicion. “What are you doing here?” she questions.
I can’t help but smirk at her and in that moment, it’s clear she knows that I was aware of her plans. “I’m here with the family, we’re checking out the new club,” I tell her.
Her suspicion doesn’t disappear. “Right… and what do you think of it so far?” she asks with amusement beginning to shine in those blue eyes.
“It’s fucking stunning,” I murmur as I look to her intently so she catches on to my double meaning. It’s not lost on her as she looks away with that familiar flush taking over her beautiful cheeks. “Why don’t you ladies come join us?” I say.
