heavily
and tried to hide the bitterness in her voice, "Look you go do what
you want to do okay Dax? I don't really care. Oh and tell the woman
you are cheating on me with that she can have you with my
compliments and my sympathy!"
    She then snapped the phone
shut, cutting off Dax's response. As if sensing her mistress's
distress, Glinda showed up from under the picnic table and began to
weave herself around Aradia's ankles. Aradia looked down at her cat
and started scratching her behind the ear.
    "Take my advice Glinda,"
Aradia muttered, "don't ever fall in love, it is often a lot more
trouble then its worth."
    Is Dax really cheating on me
though? she couldn't stop herself from
speculating, I don't have any proof but how
else do you explain his behavior? However, it's not like he is
going to tell me straight up.
    She buried her face in her
hand and shook it from side to side. I know
I shouldn't ignore this situation but I don't know if I can really
confront Dax about it. However, maybe I don't need to do anything.
The one thing being a D.A.'s daughter has taught me is when you
commit a crime whether it is murder or adultery sooner or later the
truth always comes out.
    "So maybe all I need to do,"
Aradia muttered to herself, "is wait."

Chapter Three
     
     
     
    Aradia still went to the
club, regardless of her boyfriend being a no-show. It was after all
her club, and her idea to use it to promote tolerance. Most
especially, after last month's smack down with the vampires Aradia
was desperate to help prevent more violence from erupting in the
neighborhood. So after spending an hour on her hair and makeup,
Aradia appeared in the doorway dressed in a shimmery pink halter
top, black glittery shorts, fishnet stockings, and black wedges.
She then descended from the house and into Roy's truck.
    "You look great," Melina
noted.
    Aradia just nodded in
acknowledgement. Melina raised an eyebrow while Roy's brow
furrowed.
    "Is something wrong?" Melina
asked.
    Aradia shook her
head.
    "Are you sure..."
    "Look Melina, I don't want
to talk about it okay? Now let's go! We are already late!" Aradia
snapped.
    The couple paused for a few
seconds before Roy finally turned on the engine. For a while, the
three drove in silence.
    At least until Roy
unintentionally asked, "so is Dax meeting us at the
club?"
    Aradia scowled. "No. Worse.
He's not coming."
    Both Roy's and Melina's eyes
widened.
    "Why?" Melina asked before
she could stop herself.
    "Like I said before Lina, I
don't want to talk about it!"
     
    The music was so loud that
Aradia could hear it all the way from the parking lot. She grimaced
as she stepped out of the car and her wedges squished on the wet
ground. It was like adding fuel to her already fiery mood. Melina
slowly reached out to help her but Aradia shrugged her off and
stomped onward. Melina warily hung back and looked at Roy. In his
eyes shone the same worry that she had in her own. They took each
others hands in comfort and slowly walked to the club.
    The song Fyah by Kevin
Lyttle boomed from the loud speakers. The music with the red,
yellow, white lights flashing from the ceiling, and misty grey
smoke curling around the floor gave the club a romantic eastern
temple feeling. But all that was lost on Aradia whose anger did not
diminish in spite of all the other cute Hidden guys eyeing her. She
made her way to the bar, glaring at the ground and resisting the
temptation to push people away roughly. Her darkened mood lessened
as soon as she caught the familiar glimpse of pigtails.
    Although Rhonda and the rest
of her crew at the club had all graduated from high school last
year the economy was still so bad that most of them had chosen not
to go out of state. Rhonda, Everett, D, Al, and Felix had all
enrolled into the local community college and had started taking
classes while living at home. Calvin, however, had enrolled in a
four year college. As a graduation gift, Calvin's parents had
bought him a car so he could easily travel to
