Ruby and I

chapter 44

The night sky was brightened by the neon lights of the busy city. As Ruby stepped off the party bus, her heart was racing with excitement. It was a special night she had been waiting for since she got engaged. She couldn't have asked for a more perfect group of ladies to celebrate with her.

Alexa, Faye, and Jenna followed her out of the bus, and they all marveled at the sight before them. With its grand entrance and pulsating music, the nightclub promised a great night. Ruby turned to Alexa and grinned.

"I can't believe this! You've outdone yourself," Ruby exclaimed, her eyes shining with gratitude.

Alexa chuckled. "Well, you deserve nothing but the best, Ruby."

As they entered the club, the thumping bass traveled through their bodies, and the electric atmosphere surrounded them. The dance floor was alive with energy, and Ruby couldn't help but feel excitement as they made their way toward their reserved VIP section.

As they settled into the velvet couches, two handsome servers approached their table with welcoming smiles. Their chiseled jaws and confident demeanor immediately caught the group's attention.

"Hello, ladies! Welcome to Hypnotic! My name is Max and this is Leo. We'll be your servers for tonight!" he said.

"Now what can we get for you?" Leo asked.

"I think we'll start with a bottle of Tequila and chasers of OJ and cranberry, please," Alexa requested, her voice slightly raised to be heard over the music.

"Oh! And please add a pitcher of water along with that. Don't wanna end up hungover." Ruby said.

Max nodded and winked at Ruby. "Sure thing ma'am."

"Alright, we'll be right back with your drinks!" Leo said.

The men walked away from the table and all eyes landed on Ruby.

"What? Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Ruby asked.

"Looks like Max has the hots for you!" Jenna said.

"Yeah he was kinda eye fucking you right there," Faye said with a laugh.

"Well, he can look all he wants because he sees my sash. I am a happily taken lady waiting to be married!" Ruby said.

"And Clark is one hell of a lucky man!" Alexa said.

As they continued to converse, their bottles and glasses eventually arrived on a shiny silver tray, and the men poured their mixed drinks for the group. They thanked Max and Leo and clinked their glasses together in a toast. "To the future wifey!" Jenna exclaimed, and they all sipped their liquors.

The night continued in a whirlwind of music, laughter, and dancing. Ruby and Alexa couldn't resist the magnetic pull of the dance floor, and they found themselves moving to the rhythm, their laughter blending seamlessly with the pulsating beat.

"So is this how you plan on dancing with your husband at the reception?" Alexa asked with a smirk.

"And more! And thank goodness there won't be any kids there. Don't get me wrong, I love Daniella, but I need to get loose!" Ruby said.
