Chapter 26 - CLUB PART 1

EZ grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the cab we had taken to the club. The lights on the outside of the massive building were ice blue and made the whole place glow with a fun yet eerie quality to it. The club's name was written in massive curving letters: ICICLE. This was EZ's favorite club, not because it was the best but because it was where he always had the most fun. We were still in the seaport district, so not too far from my place thankfully.

I just gave in and let EZ pull me along behind him. He was a regular here and qualified as a VIP with the amount of money he often spent so we didn't have to wait in line. Though, that fact always earned up jeers and groans from those waiting to gain admittance as they lined up around the block.

"Come on."

"Hey."

"Let us in already." The words were pretty much the same as always even though the voices always varied. Every time I heard them I just glared at the hecklers and that usually shut them right up.

The main reason I always accompanied EZ on his trips to these places was because I vowed to protect him from anyone that was drunk and handsy. With as small as he was, EZ tended to attract the wrong type. They wanted to take advantage of his small stature and more than once I had to step in to help him.

Another reason I went with him was it kept me from becoming too much of a stick in the mud. And I quite enjoyed talking with EZ, even at a gay club.

The entire time I let EZ pull me along behind him I felt like someone was watching me. I just couldn't shake that feeling. But since I was actually being stared at by a few hundred angry clubbers I guess that was to be expected. It was unusual though, I never really felt that way at the other times.

"I'm just letting last night get to me." I sighed the words quietly so EZ wouldn't hear them above the music that we could already hear pounding from the outside. That was one thing I wasn't looking forward to. I always got a massive headache when we came to these places.

"Come ooonnnnnn Jacy!" EZ was excited as he pulled me along through the door. The dance floor was a light blue that reflected the lights and made it look like it was made of ice. There were decorative icicles with blue lights hanging from the ceiling all over the place. The top of the bar and the tables scattered throughout the place were clear and they too would shine and reflect the light in the entire club. The whole place made me think that I had just walked into a certain icy queen's frozen castle. It wasn't bad really, but I guess that I just wasn't the club type of person.

EZ, as always, got a VIP lounge at the back complete with couches and tables. We would be separated if we wanted to be, but that never stopped the conceited people from trying to come up to us.

The moment we sat down EZ was already ordering drinks for us from the hot, and basically topless, male waiter that had come our way. He wasn't going easy on them either.

"EZ, I won't be drinking much tonight, just one or two max." That seemed to make him deflate a little when he heard my words.

"Jacy, this is our night." He reached up and grabbed my shoulders before shaking me gently. "Give me my fun woman." His voice was full of laughs as well as a whine, I don't know how he did it.

"Drink all you want, EZ, that's fine, but I am not drinking much. Not after last night."

"Oh, afraid you'll forget even more." He laughed hysterically at his own joke.

"Don't make me hit you." I snapped at him but I was just joking, the same as he had been.

Our drinks arrived soon, a benefit of being in the VIP section was that they made your drinks before anyone else's. After sipping on one for a few minutes EZ was approached on the couch by a tall, good looking man.

"Hey there gorgeous, my name is Nigel, what's your name?"

"Oooh, hey there." EZ's already higher than average voice went a little higher when he saw the man lounging on the arm of the couch next to him. "My name is EZ Horne, because I am definitely easy and more than a little horn-y." He always dragged out the last part of that line, I had heard him use it so many times.

"Oh, now that has to be a fake name."

"Definitely not, that is all true handsome, you better believe it."

"I like the way that sounds." Nigel, the new guy, was grinning at EZ. Nigel was not the obvious type when you looked at him, he was definitely a hardcore top that had just found most men's dream bottom. And he was just EZ's type, handsome. "Care to dance?" Nigel held his hand out for EZ to grab, which he did with excitement.

"I thought you'd never ask." EZ giggled as he let Nigel pull him to his feet.

"Have fun." I wiggled my fingers as the two of them started to walk away.

EZ was off to have some fun dancing with his new eye candy for a while. I watched him from where I sat, but I couldn't help but feel like I was the one with eyes on me. I hope no ladies in here decide to make a pass at me. I was definitely just here to protect my best friend from the idiots out there.. I really did not want to have to put some poor girl in their place, that would just end up ruining their night of fun.
