exclaimed.
    “ Not marry!” Lisa blushed.
    “ He wants me to go on a date with him outside the club. He said until I will go he will just have to come by the club every night,” Lisa replied.
    “ Are you going to go out with?” Alena asked.
    Lisa nodded, “I think so.”
    “ Yeah, he also sent her flowers and jewelry and wants her to move in with him,” Jessica exclaimed.
    “ Lisa, is this true?” Alena asked.
    Lisa nodded, “Kind of... I mean I just worry because I met him at the club and he’s also a lot older than me.”
    “ Guys! Aren’t you excited we are graduating next semester,” Jessica suddenly interrupted.
    “ Yes!” Alena and Lisa replied in unison.
    “ I can’t wait to stop working at the club! Kind of like you guys now,” Lisa said.
    “ What do you mean?” Jessica said.
    “ Ever since you two got boyfriends you haven’t had to work,” Lisa replied.
    Alena smiled at Jessica, “So, tell me about this boyfriend!”
    Jessica blushed.
    “ Well… I guess… um… Aaron and I …Wait!” Jessica stopped. “Tell me about you and your boyfriend!”
    Jessica grinned and Lisa giggled.
    “ Oh my gosh!” Alena exclaimed.
    “ No you go first I insist,” Alena replied giggling.
    “ Aaron has been super sweet since I’ve been staying with him. He is very considerate and he said he didn’t want me to have to work at the club anymore. He said he was worried about my safety and he didn’t want me to stay at my house. He’s been paying my rent,” Jessica said.
    “ Wait what? Oh my gosh. I have missed so much guys— I’m sorry. I should have been there to help you move,” Alena replied.
    “ Its fine, Alena! Someone almost killed you we understand!” Jessica replied warmly.
    “ Did your reservations about Aaron fade away?” Alena questioned Jessica.
    Jessica shook her head no, “I mean I am seeing this really sweet side of him but sometimes I think he is just such a sleaze.”
    “ Anyway what has been going on with you and Royce?” Jessica questioned.
    “ Well…” Alena blushed a little. “We are together uhm... very together if you know what I mean.”
    Both girls stared at Alena.
    “ You guys hooked up?” Lisa asked.
    Alena nodded.
    “Finally,” Jessica added.
    “How was it?” Lisa questioned.
    “ It was amazing but I am kind of scared. We are moving pretty fast. I mean he was my boss now he’s my boyfriend. I lost my virginity to him,” Alena sighed.
    “ Yeah but you can tell he really cares about you a lot,” Jessica replied softly.
    “ Yeah you can,” Lisa agreed.
    “ I just wanted to finish nursing school and meet a nice guy who didn’t know about my past,” Alena replied.
    Jessica nodded, “But he still loves you anyway which is greater than meeting a guy who didn’t know.”
    Alena smiled, “You’re right.”
    The three girls finished up dinner and paid their checks. They stood around outside the restaurant for a few minutes joking and talking for a little bit longer.
    “Where did you park?” Lisa asked.
    “I parked across the street, ” Alena said as she pointed to her car.
    “We’ll walk you, ” Lisa replied.
    Alena nodded.
    “I don’t mean to freak you out but I have a weird feeling,” Jessica stated.
    “Oh don’t worry about me. I’m going to call Royce and look I’m at my car and nothing bad happened to me! You guys be careful, OK?” Alena replied.
    The three hugged and said their goodbyes.
    Alena got into her car and then got out her cell phone to call Royce.
    “Hello?” Royce said on the other end of the line.
    “Hey I just finished up dinner. I’m on my way home do you or Gavin need anything?” Alena asked.
    “No babe, we’re fine. I’ll see you in a few minutes?” Royce replied.
    “ Yeah. See you soon,” Alena replied before hanging up the phone.
    She put her phone away and then turned the key in the ignition.
    “Huh?” she murmured to herself out loud.
    She tried to turn the key again but the engine would not
