Chapter 83: 83- Change The Subject

Arabella Toussaint

The music pulsed through the floor beneath my feet while colorful lights swept across the packed dance floor. I saw people laughing and dancing over the music, and then there were waiters who squeezed between the tables with trays full of drinks.

"Uh. I missed this place," Mia sighed happily before throwing an arm around my shoulders. She had dragged all four of us to a club to celebrate another successful month.

"Missed this place? You were here last weekend!" Toby reminded her.

"I know," She winked, "That’s why I missed it."

Tessa suddenly slid a tiny shot glass across the table until it stopped right in front of me. I looked at the clear liquid and slowly pushed it back, "No!"

"Oh, come on. Don’t be a bummer!" She pushed it toward me again, but I kept shaking my head. I had already turned twenty-one, and there was still no sign of my period.

My gynecologist had strictly asked me to avoid using sugar and alcohol. She had been treating humans and werewolves both, and was a gentle soul.

"I can’t. Dr. Sienna will kill me!" I hissed, but Tessa didn’t back down.

"The doctor asked you to limit it. It’s just one shot!" She said with a pout.

Mia signaled a waiter to bring more shots, "Hey, best friend. Stop ruining the celebration." She leaned over my chair and rested her chin on my shoulder. "One shot! Please!" she pleaded, batting those puppy eyes.

I tilted my head sideways to look at her face and then turned to Toby. They were staring at me with that hopeful, silly grin.

Goddess!

I let out a dramatic sigh, "Okay. Fine."

My friends cheered loud enough to earn curious glances from nearby tables, but I quickly pointed a warning finger at them, "One!" and then picked up the shot.

Mia immediately clinked her glass against mine, "To new beginnings."

"To YaRa Café!" Toby added.

"To money!" Tessa chimed in, making all of us laugh.

We emptied our glasses together. I squeezed my eyes shut when I felt tequila burning all the way down.

I coughed, earning a few amused glances from the neighboring table. Toby reached over and patted my back. "Still alive?"

"Barely!" I rested my forehead on the table for a second, trying to hold my laughter. When I straightened, Mia had already flagged down the waitress and was whispering something to her.

"Mia!" I tried to protest, but she was already flashing me the most innocent smile

"What?" She shrugged, "It’s Friday."

Before I could argue, the waitress returned with a bottle of white wine, four glasses, and a bowl of fries. Toby suddenly leaned back in his chair and frowned at Tessa. "By the way... did that customer finally ask you out today?"

I turned to Tessa with a gasp. "Wow! Someone asked you out?"

She groaned and covered her face with both hands. "Urgh. Don’t remind me."

Mia laughed, "Do we know him?"

She rolled her eyes. "You do. The guy with a walking stick. Today he came in, ordered his usual cappuccino, and then looked straight in the eye... "If I were thirty years younger, I’d marry you." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Mia nearly spat out her drink, "And what did you say?"

"I told him," She lifted her chin proudly, "If you were thirty years younger, I’d still say no."

"Exactly!" She slapped her hand on the table. "She does nothing! They just magically appear, and then they still see her."
