I grinned at the voice on the other end of the line. Archer and I had been friends for years. I met him in college and he was the one who introduced me to a world I didn’t know existed, but one I very much enjoyed.
“You know—same shit, different day.” I glanced up through the window and saw Jessica was no longer at her desk. I resisted the urge to hang up on Archer to go and find her.
“Then I’ve got just the thing you need,” Archer said. “Let off some steam at the club tonight.”
The best way to get over someone was getting under someone else, but for some reason that didn’t hold any appeal. “Can’t tonight,” I lied.
“You don’t know what you’re missing.”
I did, and that was the problem. I wanted someone unattainable. I wanted Jessica.
“At least come on Friday if you won’t come tonight. It’s going to be an amusing evening.”
My interest was piqued. “Why is that?”
“It’s a themed night,” he reminded me.
The club ran a themed night once a month and they were usually a good time.
“Out of curiosity, what’s the theme this time?” I asked.
“Virgins.” Archer chuckled.
I groaned. “Oh hell.”
“Yeah, so be there and I’m not taking no for an answer. If anything, it’ll be fun to watch.”
“Fine, I’ll go,” I promised, deciding I could use the distraction.
“Later, Donovan.”
I hung up, wondering what the hell I’d got myself into.
