CHAPTER 66
JESS
“Hey, pretty lady,” a voice said from behind me.
I turned my head to see a blond guy leaning in, his breath war against my cheek. I blinked a few times, taking him in. He was handsome, in a way. His face was a little sharp, and he wa as built as Tom or Luke, but still, he was handsome in a refined
way.
He wore a buttoned–down powder blue shirt, and I could see something silver shining under the lights–a chain of some sort.
“Hi,” I replied, giving him a small smile but not turning fully to face him.
“Check out those moves,” he said, pointing down to the dance floor where a guy was attempting a dance that looked more like he was having a stroke.
I couldn’t help but laugh, “Think you can do better then?”
“That depends. Where would you rate ‘the sprinkler‘ or ‘running man‘?” The stranger grinned, and I chuckled, shaking my head and turning back to the crowd. The stranger leaned in next to me, our arms brushing. “You know, it’s really unfair,” he said, and without looking at him, I asked, “What is?”
“You. Standing up here. In that dress. You seem a little
untouchable. I had to take two shots to get the courage to come up here.”

My cheeks heated immediately. I didn’t know how to respond. I’ve never been the one to get compliments like this.
“Well, you can thank my friend. She picked the dress,” I shrugged, avoiding the compliment altogether.
The man leaned in, his fingers rubbing up and down my arm before he whispered. “She might have picked the dress, but it’s who wears it that makes the difference,”
I smiled at him sweetly, not sure what to say, so he pulled bar grabbed two glasses of complimentary champagne, and handed me one.
“To
you, the most beautiful girl in this place,” he grinned, and I snorted.
“Does that usually work for you?” I cocked my head to the side, and his grin widened, almost like a naughty schoolboy.
“You tell me.” His eyes shone a little, and I decided that I needed to relax. This was my birthday, after all. I could flirt with a handsome stranger and enjoy his company so I did something. I never thought I would.
“Jess,” I managed to mumble. My mind raced–this was reckless. I shouldn’t be here. I was dating Tom, and I almost messed that up with Luke.
