The Best Man novel Chapter 48

Olivia's POV

Friday Pt II

The afternoon went as planned. I mean it was great, sporty and everything. Even though I wasn't a sports person and I didn't know what the heck I was doing almost all the time, I must say I did a pretty good job today, and now I could proudly write out golf as one of the sports I'm terribly awful at.

I kept missing the holes, my recorded number of strokes being the higher than the rest of the group but at least stuck around until the 6th hole though, Jess gave up at the 2nd, ultimately making me the second last loser, and it wasn't so bad

Bottom line is we all had fun, that was the whole point of this whole thing, so I can't complain about anything even though the guys made fun of me almost all the time

Things between Nathan and I after what happened in his room weren't actually great to say the least because after the whole encounter, things got even more awkward between us, and now I was very confused on where I actually stand with him; whether I should be pissed that he actually pulled that stunt back there or should I continue feeling bad about what I did to him that other day by running after he told me how he felt about me

.......... but I guess that's a bridge we'll cross once we get to it

Any who, fast-forward to the night in question, where we planned on hitting the strip club. We arrived at the club and beyond the dark red lights setting interior, it was really packed. A lot of men, half naked women dancing on the poles, money being thrown at each turn, alcohol, you name it.

Now, the real party was about to begin as I had requested a private booth for the five of us because well it was a special occasion and all of that. When the dancers started doing their thaang, dancing on the poles and everything I was just sitting there, thinking how can a human being be so flexible? They were moving like they didn't have any joints at all connected in their bodies and all that in high heels?

Damn, I wouldn't be able to pull this at all. Jess and I were actually amazed at how the dancers had clear, radiant skin. I reached out to put a few notes on the waistline of the girl that was dancing for me and Jess while she was clapping her gifted behind as part of the performance and my fingertips simultaneously grazed her smooth skin. Jess and I were just dying to question her about her skin care routine.

It was weird, I know, but we couldn't help it. They were so beautiful, I would kill to have clear skin like they did.

Kevin and Tristan were having plenty of fun, not caring about no skin care routines with all that ass in their faces. Kevin was throwing money everywhere, suddenly turning into a little boy that just got locked inside a candy store or something. He was a happy man, like I'm sure that this moment right here ever since I've known him was genuinely the happiest moment of his life.

Tristan on the other hand was acting like he didn't want this and that he didn't want to be here, but you can see that he was definitely enjoying the performance because he was caught up, acting like he didn't like it but then deep down he knew this is the moment he's been waiting for his whole life

Nathan was just sitting there with one of his hands on his chin while given a lap dance, not that I was staring or anything. I just noticed because you know, he was sitting just two seats away from me. He looked like he was appreciating the performance he was getting but then at the same time he wasn't into it like the other guys were, he didn't look like he was enjoying himself.

Not that I'm the greatest judge of character anything, so I wouldn't really know

"Is this guy bothering you?", Nathan was standing behind me, and he had his eyes glued on Jeremy the whole time

"No, we're just talking", Jeremy answered and Nathan's eyes dropped to my lap where I noticed Jeremy's hand was rested on my upper thigh again, and I quickly dropped his hand by his side

"I don't believe I was talking to you", Nathan retorted sharply at him before his eyes caught mine again, his pupils darkening each second

"Nathan, it's okay really", I said in attempts to make him realize that this wasn't that much of a bigger deal

"You heard the lady; it's okay, really", Jeremy mimicked me with a smirk on his face and I could tell by Nathan's face expression changing that he was getting pissed by the second

"Olivia, go back to the booth. I'll get your drinks for you", he demanded, and I blinked in surprise before opening my mouth to protest.

"But-"
