"That’s uncalled for, Mr. Wilson."
"No, what’s uncalled for stringing my best friend along and trampling his heart. Was that the plan all along? Geta celebrity to fall for you then sell him out after your fun was over?"
"Fuck you, you don’t know shit about me. We’re done talking." I walked into the kitchen and returned with Sullivan’s jacket. "I believe this is what you were looking for."
Colin took it from me but paused when I didn’t let go. "Is there something else you want to deny while I’m here?"
"I want to come with you."
"I don’t think that’s a good idea."
I tugged the jacket toward me. "I work there; I can get you in and out faster without making much of a scene. You’re going to need me." I released the jacket. "Please."
Frowning, he studied me for a few seconds. "Fine, let’s go."
Venom was packed to the rafters, but I barely noticed as Colin steered me toward the bar. Sullivan was slumped over on a stool, Alice behind the bar attemptingto talk to him.
She looked up in relief when she spotted us. "About time you showed back up!" She gestured at Sullivan resting his head on the bar. "I cut him off twenty minutes ago."
"I’m fine!" He swayed back, almost tipping off the stool, but Colin reached out to hold him steady. He glanced over his shoulder. "Hey, buddy!"
"Hey, man. It’s time to get you out of here."
"But I’m not ready!"
Colin clamped his hand down on Sullivan’s shoulder. "Let’s go and get you into bed."
"Hey, my jacket! You found it."
"Of course I did. You told me where to find it."
"Right, I did! I…" He finally spotted me. "Why are you here?"
"I work here. Please, let’s go."
"I love you!" He shouted the words, shoving away from the bar, and Colin steadied him as people around us took notice of the commotion. "I love you so much, Lorelai."
Cursing, I ignored the whispers that managed to float towards us from over the loud music. "I’m going to have to speak to whoever is DJing about this music. It’s-" I jumped when Sullivan grabbed my arms.
"Tell me you love me."
"You two can be all lovey-dovey in the car. We need to go before we cause a scene." Colin glanced around, nodding at a couple of people looking our way. "More than we already have."
I looked around, shifting nervously. "Yes, please."
"Not until she tells me how she feels!" He tightened his grip on my arms. "I want to hear it, Rory!" He chuckled, swaying slightly. "Damn, I have had way too much to drink!"
"Yes, we can tell," I sighed. "I love you. Let’s go."
"Aw, you don’t mean it!" He let me go and grabbed a random club attendee passing by. "She doesn’t love me, dude."
I managed to wedge myself between them and pushed the man away who scrambled back into the crowd unnoticed. I grabbed his face and pressed my lips against his. "It’s time to go." I couldn’t help but laugh as he tried to kiss me again. "Stop that!"
Colin grunted, glaring at me before he focused on his friend. "Sully, if I have to carry you out over my shoulder, I will."
"No need." I grabbed Sullivan’s hand and puckered my lips, laughing as he smiled and followed me. "Let’s go."
"Don’t forget my jacket!"
