I smiled when Alec sang in my ear the chorus of the song.
"Why you gotta be so rude, don't you know I human too?
What you gotta be so rude? I'm gonna marry you anyway."
I laughed when he changed the word 'her' to 'you'.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against Alec's chest as he sang in my ear. His voice was so relaxing that if he wasn't careful, I would fall asleep standing up.
He seemed to sense this because he took hold of my right hand and spun me out away from his body then pulled me back to him so the front of my body was pressed against his as we danced swaying side to side. I laughed up at him as he continued to sing the song without a care in the world.
He grabbed my hand to spin me out again, but this time it didn't go as smoothly because I stumbled a little in my heels and crashed into a man's back.
Fuck.
"I'm so sorry!" I squeaked and grabbed onto the man's arm just in case I knocked him over.
Luckily the man didn't fall, he actually turned around and laughed down at me.
I stopped myself from letting my jaw drop, not only was this man taller than me, but he was also gorgeous... extremely gorgeous.
"It's fine beautiful girl, are you okay?" he asked.
He was another American, but instead of focusing on his accent, I focused on what he just said.
Beautiful girl?
I felt my cheeks flush. "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you."
The man smiled and stuck his hand out. "I'm Dante Evans."
I swallowed and slowly placed my hand in Dante's. "Keela Daley."
His eyes lit up. "Ah, so you're the infamous Keela Daley."
Infamous?
"Why infamous?" I asked.
The man brought my hand to his mouth and kissed my knuckles before he replied, "You are apparently the reason why my boy isn't in the game anymore."
What is he talking about?
I pulled my hand back from Dante and took a step back only to knock into another person. I was about to say sorry until I felt hands slide around my hips holding me in place.
Dante looked to the hands then looked up over my head and smiled.
"Speak of the devil."
What was going on here?
I tilted my head back and looked to Alec. "You know this man?" I asked.
He nodded his head and without looking away from Dante he said, "He is an old... colleague."
From his escort days?
I looked back to Dante as he chuckled, "An old colleague... is that all I am to you?"
Alec's fingers dug into my hips as he snarled, "Don't."
I looked to Dante as an evil smirk appeared on his face. "Oh, this is interesting... she doesn't know?"
I frowned. "Know what?" I asked Dante.
Alec suddenly moved and pulled me behind him. "I'll kill you."
Dante laughed. "For telling your girl who you really are? Why haven't you told her? Are you ashamed?"
I could feel the anger radiate from Alec.
"I'm not ashamed."
"Then why not tell her?"
"Because I just met her a few days ago and we hit it off really fucking well. It's not something you spring upon a partner."
What the fuck were they talking about?
I moved from behind Alec and got back in front of him. I fisted his t-shirt in my hand and pulled to get his attention.
"What is goin' on? What are you keepin' from me?"
Alec looked nervous, very nervous.
Dante laughed from behind us. "Go ahead Alec tell her, and while you're at it tell her who I am to you."
"Was," Alec snarled.
"Fine, tell her who I was to you."
"Somebody better tell me somethin' because I'm gettin' mad."
Alec looked down to me and sighed. "I'm sorry to do this here, I tried to tell you earlier," he said as he lowered his voice, "Before we had sex but you wouldn't listen."
I swallowed. "You don't have an STD do you?"
We used a condom, but I still had his junk in my mouth without one!
Alec frowned at me while Dante laughed behind me.
"No, I don't."
Thank God.
"Then what do you have to tell me? Who is Dante?"
Alec licked his lips and said, "Dante used to be my partner on jobs."
"How so?"
Alec sighed. "Can we go upstairs and talk?"
"No, I want to talk here."
"Okay, fine," he murmured but took my hand and lead me from the dance floor and to the side of the room.
"Dante and I... we used to be involved."
"I don't understand, how were you involv-"
I cut myself off and widened my eyes when realisation hit me and I took a step back. Alec began to look distressed so he took a step forward and held me close to him.
"Please don't think differently of me. Please Keela."
I was so confused.
"Alec, are you gay?"

"What? No I'm not gay, why would I be with you if I was gay?"
I frowned. "You could be pretendin'."
"Keela, I'm not pretending with you. I swear I'm not."
I nodded my head. "So if you're not gay then what are you?"
Alec looked at me and said, "I'm bisexual."
Oh, God.
He liked the V and the D.
Now all those random sayings from his brothers about him being a bum boy and his job having variety, and his expert knowledge on giving head made sense!
"That's just greedy," I muttered.
Alec stared at me for a moment then laughed, he full on laughed. Hard.
"You have a gift, you can turn the most tense conversation into the funniest."
I lightly smiled. "I'm blessed."
Alec chuckled then kissed my forehead. "You aren't disgusted by me then?"
I gasped. "Disgusted because you like men and women? No, of course not. Is that why you didn't tell me, because you were worried I'd look at you differently?"
Alec shrugged. "When we met you didn't lead with telling me you were straight, so I didn't lead with telling you I'm bisexual. It shouldn't matter."
"It doesn't matter."
Alec smiled. "I'm glad you feel that way... Most people aren't so accepting but I'm going to be criticised for whatever I do, or whoever I do, so why should I give a shit? I am content and happy with who I am. No one else's opinion matters."
He was dead right.
"I don't care that you're bi... but I am worried."
Alec frowned. "Why?"
I hesitated.
"Kitten, why are you worried?"
Just spit it out!
"Do you go through a phase of which gender you prefer to be with more? What if you're in the vagina stage now, but the dick stage tomorrow and want a lad instead of me?"
Alec burst out laughing which I thought was rude.
"I'm serious."
Alec laughed harder.
"Alec!" I snapped and punched his arm.
He didn't flinch from my hit, but he did calm himself down enough to speak.
"Baby, I'm with you because I like you. Sure I'll think other men and women are attractive, but that doesn't mean I'm about to up and leave you for them. I mean, if you think some other guy was attractive would you leave me just to take a tumble with them?"
I shook my head. "No."
"Exactly, it works both ways. Even with bisexual people."
I nodded my head then shoved him when he smiled.
