“Okay meet us in the parking lot.” He shoved his phone back in his back pocket, took her hand and started walking toward the front doors.
    Jamie tried to look around as they moved, to see if she recognized anyone, but they were walking too fast for her to notice faces. She wished Henry would slow down because she knew that their time together was almost over and she wanted more. She wanted to see him again, and at that point, she didn’t care what color he wore around his left wrist. He slowed as they reached the front of the building and they leisurely walked out of the double black doors. The cold night air hit her and she gasped. She wasn’t dressed for the cold. The jacket that she’d brought to hide her skimpy top was in the to backseat of Emily’s car.
    “ Come here,” Henry said as he put an arm around her shoulders. Almost instantly she felt her body heat up, and her stomach fluttered. He looked down at her, and there was something in his light blue eyes.
    “ What are you thinking about?” she asked, and his eyes soften.
    “ I’m wondering if I will ever see you again. I’ve never wanted to get to know anyone before. I’ve never cared what anyone wanted until…you.” Henry smiled at her and she just stared back at him, shocked.
    “ You want to see me again?” She asked, and he laughed. Henry was a very handsome guy, his face was perfect and reminded her of a model. His baby blue eyes reminded her of a clear summer sky.
    “ Of course I want to see you again. You are the only girl in a long time that has caught my eye. Will you come back…to me?” he asked, and her heart sped up.
    She looked at him curious, and he shrugged, a smile tugging on his lips. “Tomorrow night,” she whispered, and felt the heat of a blush spread all over her body.
    Henry reached behind him, to his back pocket. He handed her the same red card that opened the RED VIP room. “Meet me tomorrow night.”
    She closed her hand around the key card. “I’ll be there.”
    He grinned at her, and lowered his face to hers . Everything happened in slow motion for Jamie. Henry’s lips lightly brushed hers and sent tingles down her body. She needed more . Jamie wrapped her arms around his neck and slowly shut her eyes. Before their lips could really meet she heard someone giggle.
    “ Oh my, what are you two doing?” Emily asked, and Jamie had a strong desired to kick her best friend for ruining her first kiss with Henry.
    Jamie looked away from Henry and to Emily . “Let’s go,” she said, moving away from him to join her best friend, but she knew she wore her heart on her sleeve.

    Henry watched the girls walk away, and he questioned what the hell had come over him. He’d never acted like that before. The red room was his private room, his personal space, but when he’d met her grayish-green eyes, he was a goner. He’d seen her fiery hair and he’d known he needed to be with her.
    “ You got it bad for her, don’t you?” Mike asked.
    Henry didn’t say anything, he just watched Jamie walk away toward the parking ljushe parkot. When he and Mike had thought up the No B , they’d never imagined it would be this popular. Yes, they got raided a lot, but people kept coming back. They’d also made an astonishing amount of money, but no one other than Jamie and Mike knew he was part owner of the club. He was pretty sure he would be sentenced to death by the ‘Wicked’ Moore if it was ever found out. ‘Wicked’ Moore was what William Moore was called around the streets. Both classes thought he was ruthless, and everyone knew that William knew it and wasn’t ashamed of it.
    “ I do,” he finally answered his oldest friend. Their friendship would have been looked down on, but neither of them cared what color they wore.
    “ Just be careful, I’ve seen her before. I don’t know where, but I have,” Mike said, nodding toward the girls.
    “ I’m not stupid,” Henry said, but knew he was lying. There was
