“Hurry up, baby girl, breakfast is here,” Rich shouts from the other room. I quickly finished up, dried off and threw on a robe that was hanging on the door, since I had nothing else with me except a stripper costume.

“Smells great,” I said as I walked out drying my blonde hair.

“Hmm...natural blonde, sexy, baby girl,” he pointed out in that sexy Boston accent.

“Yup, natural California blonde. Did you order me clothes?” I asked seeing some clothes hanging on a rack.

“Yeah, I had them send up a few different sizes and styles. Pick something to wear home. You definitely can’t wear your school girl costume. Though I wouldn’t object,” he said coming up behind me and putting his arms around my waist. “Now let’s eat, get dressed and get you home. I have a feeling there are a whole lot of people wondering where the fuck you are.”

“You know, in all the confusion last night, that wasn’t something I even thought about it. Crap, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rose doesn’t have an APB out for me by now.”

An hour later, Rich dropped me off at the club. It was after eleven so I knew Damon would be in working on the books, which was to my advantage as I needed to get my purse.

Because it was before hours, I had to be buzzed in through the back door. I waved to Damon as I saw the camera turn toward me. He let me in.

“Good morning, Vaughn. Here to get your car?” Damon asked coldly.

“Yeah. Horrible experience last night. I’m very sorry if I worried anyone,” I tried to explain.

Damon put up his hand to stop me. “We all were very worried about you, Vaughn. But then Nathan came in and told us he saw you at the Bellagio with G, so we knew where you were.” I think my jaw just about hit the ground. “And then it was all confirmed this morning when TMZ broke story of Richard Grovanski’s new stripper girlfriend.” What. The. Fuck?
