“Are you here to take us upstairs?” I asked brusquely before she could say anything. Getting the message that I didn’t want him asking her questions he gestured up a flight of stairs.
“This way Mr. Shaw. Everything should be as you requested,” he added.
I was worried for a second. I hadn’t requested anything and I hoped our idiot manager Kevin hadn’t set up something too tacky thinking that Courtney was going to be with me. Courtney always wanted the most outrageous and expensive thing that a venue offered if she was with me. I had hated that about her.
Eva was looking around in awe as we walked up to the VIP area. Covet only used black and gold in their décor and the VIP platform was actually suspended above the dance floor and featured a see-through floor and enclosed glass walls. Those dancing on the floor could not see into the VIP area but the VIP guests could see everything from both the floor and the walls. A winding staircase led down to the dance area on one side of the platform and tables and couches took up the rest of the space. If you wanted more privacy, drapes could be called down with a push of a button to surround your table or wherever you were sitting. I had been here many times but seeing Eva’s expression made me observe the area more than usual, trying to see it through her eyes. The manager led us to a table that was already surrounded by gauzy fabric. Several buckets with champagne and various other liquors were placed around the enormous table, and food trays with everything you could think of were set by them.
“Does everything look ok sir?” the manager asked nervously.
“It looks amazing,” Eva blurted out, reddening immediately afterwards.
The manager flushed in return and gave her a huge smile. I’m sure he was going to head straight to his office to jack off after this.
“Please let me know if there is anything else you want…or need,” he told her, ignoring me. “Here’s a card with my personal number so you can reach me at any time,” he continued, handing her a gold embossed business card.
I gave him a look and pulled Eva into the veiled space, having her go into the bench seat first so I could be between her and whatever idiots chose to visit us at the table next. The area was already quite crowded. I had seen a few Giants football players, some movie stars, and one of the pitchers from the Yankees as we had come in. I poured some champagne for Eva and myself and started to help myself to some of the food, hoping she would feel comfortable and do the same.
She continued to relax more with me as we ate. I was excited for her to see the karaoke once it started. One of the unique things about Covet was that it featured a karaoke segment every night. But the performers were never bad. They usually were up and coming singers or bands, and even established performers frequently dropped by and sang a song or two while visiting the club. I told Eva it would be starting soon and her face lit up. I wondered if she could sing. They usually only let known singers up on the stage but I knew the manager would do anything for me, and also Eva by how he acted towards her.
I heard a roar from down below as the DJ announced that the rest of my band, along with Eva’s cheerleading squad, had arrived at the club. Soon they were coming up the stairs where Selena quickly spotted me and came over.
“Mason, you left without me,” she said with a pout.
Selena was becoming more and more of a pain in my ass. I assumed that Damon had kicked her to the curb and that’s why she had set her sights on me. I’m sure if Beck was here she would be all over his dick as well. She sat as close to me on the bench as she could, curling her hands around my arm. I noticed that the group of Giants players were avidly staring at Eva. I wondered if I could somehow pass Selena on them. I had no problem being rude towards Selena normally but I sensed that it would create problems for Eva if I went too far.
I nodded my head to a guy I recognized as the quarterback of the team. He had been to my New York City shows many times and was a fan of the band. He eagerly headed over, not taking his eyes off Eva. He moved to slide in next to her, I coughed loudly and nodded towards Selena. He looked disappointed and sat next to Selena. Selena was at least smart enough to see that she wasn’t going to get anywhere with me and immediately turned her attention to the new arrival.
I immediately turned my attention back to Eva. She was watching the situation develop warily.
“Selena dates/hooks up with my friend Damon,” I explained. “Beck and I call her the black widow. I’m sure you’ve noticed that she’s an awful bitch.” Eva looked sick at my statement. “Everything okay?” I asked.
“Everything’s fine,” she said too quickly.
I wanted to pursue it more but I could tell Eva didn’t want to talk about whatever I had said to upset her. I picked up my glass of bourbon and motioned towards Eva’s champagne glass, tapping it in a toast. “I’m so glad you’re here with me Eva,” I said. She smiled at me and touched my arm.
“I never imagined my life could be like this,” she said seriously. “I’m having so much fun!”
