Stick with the plan.

Robyn glared at Emma and said, “We decided on the concert and that’s where we are going.” She then subtly tilted her head towards Aaron as if to say, “Please, let me have my way just once.”

Emma smiled slyly and whisper to her, “All right, but you owe me.” She said to the two waiting blokes, “Yeah, the concert.”

Steve said, “The concert it is then. Just give me a second to change.”

“And get your wallet.” Said Aaron with a grin.

They waited and made small talk for about five minutes before Steve came out in a green T-shirt and long tan shorts. He said, “Let’s go. I take it you girls don’t need a ride?”

“Nope, I know the way and my old rust bucket should get us there and back.” Robyn replied.

Aaron gave the two their tickets and they all said good-bye to the other two guys and headed out to the club. Robyn was driving and she followed Aaron’s car. She asked Emma, “Do you really think that Aaron likes me?”

“He certainly thinks you’re a real cutie that’s for sure." Emma gave Robyn a questioning look. "What's with you? You seem kinda antsy.”

Robyn kept her eyes on the road and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Emma watched as Robyn’s eyes slid sideways for an instant. She laughed, “You know, I’ve never seen you this hot over a guy before. I can’t blame you, of course. He is a work of art. If Aaron sees it you two might be in this car steaming up the windows while the concert is going on.”

Robyn’s mouth dropped open in amused shock. “I can’t believe you just said that! I’m not going to park with some guy I just met!” She shook her head. “Besides, I’d have to kick you and Steve out to make room.”

Emma playfully slapped Robyn’s arm and they soon found themselves near the club.

They parked the car and met the guys. They went inside, it was a smaller type club with a bar and some tables in the back and a large open area in front of the elevated stage. A small balcony stretched around the room, but a chain and a sign saying ‘don’t enter’ blocked off the stairs leading up to it. They heard the cymbals and feedback of the opening act as they warmed up. Emma winked at Robyn and grabbed Steve’s hand. She dragged him off saying, “Well Steve, why don’t you buy me something to drink?”

Robyn and Aaron were left alone on one end of the club floor. Robyn looked around and tried to think of something to say to Aaron. Nothing came to mind. All she could think about was his body. His trim, muscular, tight, hot body and how he looked in his swim trunks.

Aaron’s voice broke her out of her spell. “I couldn’t help but notice you as you were surfing earlier today. You’ve got some killer skills.”

Robyn smiled, “Thanks, but I’m really not all that good.”

“No, I mean it,” Aaron replied, “You’ve got a beautiful style. You’re very graceful out there.” He looked down at the floor and tipped his head in a cute and boyish way. “I was a little jealous when I first saw you. I wished I could move like you did.”

“Oh stop it.” Said Robyn. “Now I know you’re just trying to flatter me.”

Steve gave her a huge grin. “No I’m not, and is it working?”

Robyn laughed and was about to say something when the opening act started to play a song. She winced as the notes fell over her. She looked over and saw Aaron with the same reaction. Aaron yelled over the music, “These guys seem to lack something!”

She yelled back, “Yeah! It’s called talent!”

He motioned to the door and asked, “Want to wait outside until Jebediah comes on?”

She nodded and they walked out into the street and sat down together on a bus bench.

Robyn wondered, “I wonder how Emma and Steve are doing?”
