“Hello, I’m Kitty. I will be your barmaid. Is there anything you would like to drink or eat?”

“Yes, we will have top-shelf wine,” I say, smiling.

“Vee, we need to eat. I want some boneless wings and nachos,” Mia says.

“Yes, that sounds good,” I say, nodding.

“It will take a few minutes,” Kitty says.

I look out on the dance floor, and I can’t help but smile. This is so much fun, and I want to enjoy this night.

Kitty returns with the wine, glasses, and the food. That was quick. I take a sip of wine, moaning, and close my eyes.

“This wine is so good,” I say, taking another drink.

Mia takes her glass and takes a sip, closing her eyes.

“Vee, it’s the best.”

I grab a chicken wing, chew it, and then try a few nachos. They taste so good. We don’t eat out because the cook makes our food at home. I drink some water to clear my palate, and then I drink more wine. I love wine, and soon, it’s gone. I look at Kitty. She nods and returns with another bottle of wine. Wow, she’s good.

“Vee, don’t you think that we should dance?”

“No, because I’m having fun drinking this wine and watching the people dance.”

“Okay, you do have a point.”

It doesn’t take us long to finish the bottle of wine, and Kitty has the new one ready.

Mia and I sing along to the songs we like and drink wine. We’re happy and enjoying the night out.

Then, all of a sudden, I have a gorgeous businessman standing in front of me. He’s also the one that I bumped into at the store. He makes me all tingling and weak. That’s not good since I’m going to get married.

“Hi,” he says, smiling.

I blink up at him and smile.

“Hi,” I say, staring at him.

“Are you enjoying the club,” He asks.

“Yes, we are. We love the wine,” I say, taking another sip.

“Valentina, I’m Lev Kravtsov,” Lev says.

I blink; that last name sounds familiar.

“Kravtsov?”

“Vee, that’s the same last name as your fiancé.”

“Ah, right. Thanks, Mia.”

I look at Lev and think about it for a few since my brain is slow. I believe that I had too much wine.

“You’re the guy that I keep seeing.”

“Yes, I am. May I sit,” Lev asks, smiling.
