Aurei manages to cut me off and join Tony.

I smile behind the two, wave to the crowd over their heads, and point at a spot over by the wall where they can have full access to me, then proceed there unnoticed.

Work it, Siri.Work your ass-n-tits.Flaunt your stuff.

The crowd circles around the two would-be bodyguards and surrounds me.The first person to hold her phone out and request a selfie with me is Brandy, the girl I met at The Stallion last night, the one who held my jacket.

"Siri, can I have a selfie with you?"

"Sure, Brandy."I take the phone from her, and we pose.I snap the pic and hand it back to her.

"I knew I recognized you last night."She tells me as I pose with another fan.

"I have a blog for military wives called Brandy's Blabbing Bitches.May I ask some questions for it?"She doesn't wait for my answer."Are you from Alabama?"

"Yes, I'm from LA.Lower Alabama."

She laughs, appreciating the pun."Are you moving back here?"

"No, I'm heading back to Vegas very soon."I pose with a couple of older ladies.

"Are you opening an entertainment business here?"

"Not really."I sign a man's chest."I'm under an exclusive dance contract in Vegas."

"We were hoping you would be performing at The Stallion."He says as I hand him back his marker.

"Well, maybe later I'll do a guest appearance there.The new owner is a friend of mine."

"Cool!"

"Who's the new owner?"Brandy asks.

"Clay Quigley.He's an Aussie.You should interview him.Ask him about the deal he made for it.It's an awesome story."

"I will."She beams.

"Tell him I sent you.We go way back."

"I will.Thanks!"She takes a step back while I snap yet another picture."Were you two a couple?"She asks eagerly to get some details.

"No, our friendship is business in nature.This handsome hunk is my man."I lay my hand on a frowning Aurei's arm as he steps up beside me.

He gives me a 'don't say too much' look, and I give him a 'don't worry' look.

She turns her phone on him and moves it up and down so she gets a full-length view of his hotness."Is he why you're here?"Her voice sounds convinced.

He holds his hand up to block her photo.

Her frown asks,' Hey?What's your problem?'

"No, I came home for a family emergency.My mother was in an accident."

While his expression states simply, 'I don't do pictures.'

She turns the camera back on me."When will you be returning to Vegas?"

"That's enough information," Aurei interrupts.His voice leaves no doubt to anyone that this interview is finished.He waves Tony over to make sure no one follows.
