she was thinking about. She wanted to know if they could be together, or if her father would kill the man standing in front of her for even looking at her.
    Henry stroked her cheek, a smile on his sinful lips. “I haven’t thought about it, because it doesn’t matter here or to me.”
    With him that close, she could see his eyes were a brilliant, light-blue with specks of navy blue. “Oh…but-”
    “ We have the night. We don’t need the light.”
    Jamie nodded. S he was enjoying his touch too much. She was the one to move away from him and his warm hand. “So…” she said as she looked around the red room again. Soft light filled the room and her eyes landed on a black, plushy couch which sat in the middle of the room. A little light wooden bar stood in the right corner of the room with a black shiny top.
    Henry strode to the bar, stepped behind it and pulled out glasses. He held one up to her and she nodded as she sat down on the plush couch. Jamie moaned in pleasure. It was the softest couch she’d ever sat on. Henry walked back with two dark drinks. “Cherry coke?” he asked as he handed it to her and watched as she took a sip. “You can’t stop wondering if we are from the same class, can you?”
    She smiled in answer to his question.
    “ I brought you in here so we could talk to each other, not yell over the music. So ask me anything, except what color I am.” His grin lit his whole face, and she was memorized.
    “ How old are you?” she asked taking another sip from her drink.
    “ Twenty-one. My turn. What’s your favorite color?” He winked at her, and his being flirty made her giggle.
    “ Umm…I would say red,” she replied biting her bottom lip.
    Henry touched her hair, twirling a red lock in his fingers. “I think red’s now my favorite color,” he murmured and she felt her cheeks heat up. “Your turn,” he said, and she mentally shook herself.
    “ Do you have a girlfriend?” she asked, thinking it was an importangig an impt question. She didn’t want to be the girl he cheated with, she wouldn’t cause someone that pain.
    “ I don’t. I haven’t found a girl I thought was worth fighting for yet,” he answered, and removed his hand from her hair. He grabbed his drink from the small red table in front of them and gulped it. Jamie watched him, fascinated, as he swallowed and replaced the glass on the table. “What about you? Is there some jealous boyfriend I should worry about?”
    Jamie thought about it. Her last relationship had ended badly, and she still hadn’t gotten over it one-hundred percent. “You don’t have to worry about a jealous boyfriend, I’m single.”
    Henry grinned at her again and she felt her heart speed up. She knew she was in trouble with this boy. “Good,” he murmured.

Chapter Two
    Revolution
     
    Jamie and Henry talked for a long time before she finally looked at the time on her phone. It was after midnight and she felt the blood drain from her body. Her father was going to be so furious. “Oh my gosh!” she exclaimed jumping up from the couch.
    “ What’s wrong?” he asked as he slowly stood up with her. He put his warm hands on her shoulders.
    Jamie bit her bottom lip . “I’m supposed to be home in twenty minutes,” she said, recalling that she’d told her father that she and Emily were going to dinner and to a movie. Instead they’d gone to dinner, and then to the No B Club .
    “ Well then, we’d better get you and Emily out of here. I don’t want you to get in trouble.” Henry took Jamie’s hand in his, and pulled her out of the VIP room.
    The club was more packed than it had been when she’d walked into that red VIP room, and many of the people were still grinding on one another to the loud pounding music. She followed Henry out toward the bar area where they scanned the room.
    Henry pulled out his c ell phone, and punched in a number. “Where are you guys?” he asked and then paused as he listened to, she guessed, Michael.
