Leo

Sandra had come in all decked out, but after talking to her a few minutes before the music started, I realized that she wasn’t my type at all. She was pretty and her body was banging, but she was a meek little mouse and I had a feeling that no amount of booze was going to change that. It bothered me and I hoped that I hadn’t ruined my night thinking that she was going to be the one to keep me company. I thought that I wanted a good girl, but I wanted a little fire in her blood at the very least.

There was a blonde chick in the crowd that I saw dancing with a couple of guys while I played. She was hot, tall and had a huge set of knockers on her. I tried not to stare, but when I realized that she was looking at me just as much, I felt like maybe I could stare. She smiled at me a couple of times. It wasn’t the same as Sandra. She wasn’t doing it with a coy look on her face. She was looking at me like she was down to fuck and since I was as well, when the first set was over, I stopped to see Sandra for a minute, but then made an excuse pretty quick to get a few moments on the other side of the bar. The blonde watched me approach and she didn’t look away like she wasn’t paying attention. Why did I like the straight up look in her eyes so much when I always told myself that I wanted a good girl? Maybe I didn’t need to turn one. Maybe I just needed to find a woman that knew what she wanted from the get-go.

“Are you enjoying the show?”

“Yeah, I guess so. Are you done playing for the night?”

I shook my head. “No we take about an hour before we are going to start the last set of the night. I will warn you now though, half of the band is going to be drunk and it is never as good the second time around.”

She giggled and suggested that we not get so much to drink.

“You weren’t that good to begin with. I don’t know if you should take the chance to get any worse.”

She was giving me shit and I don’t know why I liked the idea of it so much. It was just the way she said it and the way it made me feel. Why did I like a girl with a smart ass mouth so much? It was hard to ignore the tightening in my pants. She was beautiful and sassy. There really wasn’t a better combination out there. The sarcasm got to me too and the quick wit.

“I will keep that in mind. I want to make sure our fans are happy.”

“Is that so?”

I agreed that it was. “Are you a fan?”

“I am warming up to the idea of it. This is my first time in here, so I will have to wait and see.”

“I know.”

“How do you know Leo?”

“Because I know I would have remembered a pretty little thing like you.”

She blushed and I felt a little bit of pleasure from that. I got the feeling that Celia wasn’t the type that was bashful and she didn’t blush very often.

“So now you are talking shit huh?”

“If that is what makes you smile, I will spit this all night.”

“What about your girl over there? She is here for you, isn’t she?”

I had forgotten about Sandra since I had seen Celia. I knew that I had invited her here and I knew that it was meant to be because we were going to get together later, but now I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to. I didn’t want to be with Sandra.

“Yeah, she was invited, but that was before you.”

“Well aren’t you a fair weather kind of guy.”

“Hey, Leo.”

I turned to see boss man behind me. I had forgotten about him too. He was supposed to come with me, but something had come up and now he was here. It was bad timing because I didn’t want to talk to Grey or to Sandra. I wanted to see where this connection with Celia was going. How did it all go so wrong, so quickly? One minute I was happy to have a night out with the guys, but then there was this other side that was ready to get out of here, screw the band and go see if I could talk Celia into coming back to my place. I felt something between us and I didn’t want to just walk away like I didn’t feel anything at all.

“Hey Grey, I didn’t think you were coming.”

“I told you I would be here Leo.”

Yeah, but I wished he hadn’t showed up right now. I could see Celia was already looking around and I didn’t want her to go find her little friend Carlos that she had come in here with. It was a strange situation because he was my boss and I was the one that had invited him here. I couldn’t just ignore him and before I could figure out how to get a few minutes alone, I saw Sandra coming towards us. Fuck!

“So when are you playing?”

“I have a little bit of a break first and then our second set starts soon.”

“Well good. I am sorry I am late. The baby wasn’t feeling good so I helped Cameron get him to sleep before I left. I have the magic touch apparently because that baby was out pretty quick. She likes when I sing to her.”

It was all fascinating, but it was keeping me from what it was I wanted to do. I was sure that it was going to be okay. I just wanted to get her attention before she took off. I had never seen her in here before and I would be lying if I were to say I wasn’t afraid that she might not come back.

“Well come on Leo, let me buy you a drink. It is good to see you out of the car and in your real life.”

I shook my head and told him I would be at the bar in a minute. He was out of his element, but Grey didn’t seem to realize that. He was surrounded by thugs and criminals, but I suppose that his job made him used to that sort of element.

“I will be right there. I have to talk to someone real quick.”

“Did you bring that hot little piece from the store with you? I want to meet her.”

“She is here and she is coming this way, but she isn’t what I am looking for. Why don’t you go buy her a drink and get her off of my back?”

“Like a wingman?”

“No, not really. I don’t want her.” I had lowered my voice because I didn’t want Celia to hear me. She was still close where I had come up to her, but now she was trying to give us privacy even though she was so close.

“Come on Leo. That is cold.”

“Once she gets her eyes on you, it will be fine because she will forget about me and then I will be off the hook.”

“But I am married.”

“So, it’s not like you have to do anything or sleep with her. Just give her that smile that melts women and she will forget all about me. Then I won’t have to worry about it. Drop her before you go. You will be the jerk, but I am sure you are used to that.”

It was a good plan and while he was hee-hawing around, I knew that he was going to go with it. I had done some similar things for him in that past and I was glad that he wasn’t going to back down. I needed some time with Celia and I knew for some reason that it would be worth me owing him tomorrow over it.

“Fine, Leo. I will do it this once, but Cameron can never find out about it. She would have my balls for breakfast. Where is the chick at?”

I pointed out Sandra and she waved. “There she is.”

“She is a hot little piece. Are you sure that you don’t want me to just put her on ice for you? You might change your mind later.”

I looked to Celia and I knew that I wasn’t going to want Sandra again. Not after I had met a woman that made my heart beat as fast as my dick got hard. I wanted the little mouthy bitch that had straw colored hair and the face of an angel. That was who I wanted. I felt something when I looked at her. When I looked at Sandra, I was bored.

“Yeah I am sure. Trust me when I tell you that I have made the right choice.”

Grey wasn’t happy with me, but like the good friend that he was, he did what I asked him to do. He walked over to Sandra with a smile on his face and I knew that I was now free to go after the one that I really wanted. It was a shame really, but Sandra would have a better time with my smooth talking friend. She would think that she had hit the jackpot and ignoring me would be her idea. It was the best plan as it did not hurt her feelings and I still get my way.

I was tickled with myself, but when I looked back to where Celia was sitting, I could see that she was gone. My heart skipped a beat and I wished like hell that I hadn’t taken so long. Where the hell did she go?
