I look at Julian. “Is that alright?”
He shrugs. “Yeah, if you want. Sam and I will watch a movie.”
This could be just what I need, a night away to clear my mind.
Willow smiles broadly and hunches her shoulders.
“Have a look what’s on.” I smile at Willow
She excitedly takes out her phone and Google’s the movie timetable. “There’s one on at nine. That would give us time to get dinner beforehand.”
I smile at her excitement. “Okay.” She jumps off the chair excitedly. “You’re the best.” She runs off upstairs. “I’m going to get ready.
I smile to myself. Julian comes over and places his hands on my shoulders. He bends and whispers into my ear, “She’s right. You are the best.”
I put my hand over his and smile sadly. “And you’re still on my shit list.”
“I wouldn’t have gone through with it.”
“But you thought about it.” I sigh.
He bends and kisses my cheek. “I’ll make it up to you when you get home.”
“You are banned from my body,” I whisper sadly. “Forever.”
He turns my head and kisses my lips. “We’ll see.”
Willow and I walk out of the movie at 11:45 p.m. The movie was funny and we laughed out loud the whole time. I needed this night with her to regroup. Our arms are linked as we walk back to the car.
“So what happened with Lola tonight?” I ask.
“To be honest, I think she’s out with someone else.”
I frown. “Why do you think that?”
"I was reading on her phone the other night after she fell asleep on the sofa at our house, and a message came through from a girl asking her to go to a club called Kitty Cats tonight." I listen as I watch her. “Did you ask her about it?”
She shakes her head. “No.”
“Why not?”
“I didn’t want to be the jealous girlfriend.”
“Maybe they’re just friends?”
“No, I searched on Facebook and Instagram. They only became friends a week ago.”
My face falls. “Oh.”
“And then, when she messaged me tonight to cancel…” She shrugs again. “I don’t know.”
“Well, maybe she didn’t go to this club Kitty Cats.” I smile, offering her some hope.
She rolls her eyes. “God, I’m off dating already.”
I widen my eyes. “That makes two of us.” I sigh sadly.
We get into the car, and I glance across the road and see a hot pink neon sign.
KITTY CATS
My mouth falls open. “Oh, look, is that it?” I point.
Willows' eyes widen and she cranes her neck as we both peer through the front windscreen.
“Google it. See if it’s the same place?” I whisper.
She takes out her phone and reads the address out. “That’s it. Gay and Lesbian bar. Kitty Cats.”
We both stay silent as we watch a few groups of girls and boys walk in.
“I wish I knew if she was in there,” Willow whispers.
“Yeah, I know, right. To be a fly on the wall.”
We continue to watch on as people pile in.
“Can you go in and see if she’s there?” she asks me.
“What?” I glance over at her.
“Can you just go in for five minutes and see if she’s there? Please.”
“What are you going to do while I’m in there?” I frown.
“Stay in the car. I’ll lock the doors.”
“And what are you going to do if she’s in there with someone else?”
“Break up with her.” She widens her eyes at me like I’m an idiot.
I scowl and cringe. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Will. I don’t want to leave you in the car.”
“You’ll be five minutes and the bouncers are right there. Nothing is going to happen to me. At least then I’ll know for sure.”
I think on it for a moment. How else will she find out if Lola is a snake? It’s not like they know any of the same people. She could cheat on her for another two years until Will is old enough to go out, if she’s that way inclined. I bite my thumbnail as I stare across the road.
“If I go in, I’m just going to do one lap of the club and that’s it. If I don’t see her, I’m coming out and we are leaving straight away.”
“Yeah, okay.” She says as she stares through the windscreen.
I glance over at her. “What do I do if I do see her with someone?”
Willow frowns. “Don’t let her see you. Just leave.” I bite my bottom lip as I think on it. “Fine. I’ll scope it out a bit.” We both stare out the front window at the club in front of us. “Are you going to lose your shit if she’s in there with her?”
She shrugs. “I’d rather know so I can break it off before she does.”
I exhale heavily. “Yeah, okay.” I grab my bag, take my phone out and grip it in my hand. “Call me if you need me. I’ll be five minutes… max.”
