Chapter 18- The Spot

Bryan was on the other side of the kitchen laughing his lungs out, he sounded evil. Will walked across the kitchen and shoved Bryan outside through the patio doors. He needed a bit of space.

"Dad! Mom! Help!" Bryan screamed as the boys ran across the backyard. Eventually, there was a loud splash. Will walked back into the house and asked how their day had been.

Tyson grinned and replied as did Ginny. The boys had met last year and had become fast friends. Ironically, they had moved from Will's hometown about a month after Billy visited his Uncle last year. Before Billy's mom's boyfriend had decided to try and kill Billy. That's also when Will had decided he wouldn't be called Billy anymore.

"Hey Mr. J, do you think we could hit the gym after dinner and do some training?" Will asked suddenly.

Bryan walked into the house in only a towel, the water still dripping down his body. Bryan grinned. He loved training with his dad and sparring with Will was always a challenge, especially of late. Will seemed to be bringing his A-game and Bryan loved being able to adapt to the change in Will's technique.

Tyson groaned. "I thought you boys were going out tonight?"

Will laughed as Bryan's face fell. " 'Ryan, you n me can kickbox when we get back."

Bryan opened his mouth to protest when Will made him look at his parents who were dressed up to go out. Bryan's mouth snapped shut. "Shit. I mean shoot. When's dinner?"

"Now, as soon as you put on some clothes." His mom pointed to the already set table in the next room.

Bryan took the stairs two at a time and got dressed in a pair of casual dark blue trousers and a light grey short-sleeved button-down shirt. He slipped on a pair of dark blue loafers with grey trim and grabbed a dark blue sports jacket. This would be perfect for his plans for tonight.

When he came down for dinner his mother looked shocked. Then the tears pooled in her eyes. Bryan thought she'd be happy to see him dressed up. He was after all 18 now so…might as well practice the "adult look".

Will grinned. "Nice, College Boy. Let's eat dinner and get rolling."

"Ginny, honey it's a good thing." Tyson soothed as he pulled her onto his lap and held her.

She sniffed. "I know he just looks so grown up. My baby's all grown up."

Bryan felt like a dick for making her cry but jubilant that she finally admitted he wasn't a kid anymore. He stood in front of his parents and kissed his stepmother's forehead. "I'm going to be here for a whole school year Mom. Will and I will eat on the patio to give you guys some time alone."

"No! I'm fine." Ginny wiped her tears from her face smiling.

Dinner was lively and the boys joked around while the parents asked about school and this year's team. Tyson was proud of Bryan. Will could see this and felt a tad envious that he only had Uncle Nate who wasn't around physically.

'That doesn't mean I'm not proud of you William. I am. You're being brave and you're doing excellent at school. If I had a son I'd be happy if he took after you.' Will beamed. It was rare for Uncle Nate to speak to him mentally especially after the operation. Most times data came to him as if he'd thought of it.

Tyson sensed the change in the boy and bowed slightly. The sound of laughter entered his mind. 'Good to see you happy, Old friend. I'll take care of the boys on their night out.' Tyson nodded and joined the conversation between his wife and son.

Soon after supper, the boys did the dishes 'old school' style to prove to Mrs. J they could do dishes better than the dishwasher. As soon as they were done they headed out in Bryan's truck. Tyson made sure they were safe before grabbing his car keys and parking out in front so his wife could walk out the front door.

Will and Bryan pulled up at The Spot. It was the hottest U21 club and Bryan was taking Will out for some fun. The minimum age was 17. All those under 21 had to wear a special UV stamp that glowed under the lights of the club.

They got to the door and the bouncer gave them a once over and nodded to the cashier. They paid the cover charge and walked in. A second bouncer beckoned them over and they went to him. "Look, guys, just be careful. I found some 16-year-old girls in here earlier and a few younger. There a few undercover cops as well so don't do anything stupid."

The boys thanked him and offered him a drink at the end of his shift. He just smiled and let them through the VIP section. Bryan grinned and sat down on a plush leather couch.

Will caught the waitress's attention and ordered two soft drinks. She smiled and nodded. Bryan was still grinning.

"How the hell?" Will asked his best friend. Bryan shrugged. Just like that, the waitress came back with their drinks.

The club was packed. They'd walked to the front of the line because Bryan said he had it under control. Sure, he knew the owner but he didn't think he'd get the VIP treatment.

VIP at The Spot was special for many reasons. One of the main ones was that it had been designed by a sound engineer to be a bubble. You could hear what was going on in the club but the music wasn't deafening and you could enjoy the scene while feeling like you were in the middle of it without the near-deafening sound. It was the perfect sound filter for those who could afford to watch without partaking.

Seating in VIP was either in public or in private. There were private booths with curtains that had plush cushions that elicited wild ideas from those who sat on them. The boys opted for a public lounge with L-shaped sofas on either side of a mahogany coffee table that complemented the shapes of the sofas.

The music was hot and all the girls that were eying them from outside VIP were hotter. Will loved the vibe and the fact that not all the girls were in skanky little dresses. He did a double-take when he saw Thokozani Musa dancing on the edge of the dance floor.

He tapped Bryan's shoulder and nodded in her direction. She looked hot! Skinny jeans, a top that was fairly modest in the front with a small V-neck and a plunging v at the back that stopped just above the top of her jeans and was tied in a knot that emphasized her tiny waist. His nerves were on edge.

"Lemme guess, you wanna be her ticket to VIP?" Bryan smirked. Will nodded and smiled before standing up. Suddenly he felt very confident and he walked to where she was.

"May I have this dance?" He yelled above the music just close enough to her ear for her to hear.

She turned around. After a split second of shock, she laughed and nodded. They danced with decent space between them and Will was grateful for the dance lessons Bryan had been giving him.

He looked for Bryan and found him dancing with a woman nearby. Then a heavy baseline hit and she jumped up and then turned. When she started grinding on him his body temperature shot up and his self-control ran for Mexico.

His arm snaked around her waist and he was grinding on her. He felt the change in her and kept his eyes closed just in case they revealed something he couldn't deny later. Almost as if the DJ knew he was about to snap she threw in another song which led to a bit more space. A waitress came with a tray for Thoko and she pointed to three other women as she picked her glass off the tray.

Half an hour later he asked her if he could buy her a drink. She nodded and asked for a cocktail. He invited her and her friends to VIP and they agreed to go with him.

The bouncer in front of the VIP section nodded at him and let them through. Bryan was already seated with the woman he had been dancing with. She was a beyond gorgeous, Latina with pitch-black hair just past her shoulders. They were talking sports animatedly.

"Sorry, I didn't get your names," Will said as they sat down.

"Hi! I'm Sandra!" A perky blond wearing a daring red dress waved at him. He was pretty sure her butt cheeks were on the sofa and not covered by her dress when she sat but somehow she looked sweet instead of skanky.

"Hey, I'm Cyndrella." An auburn-haired woman wearing all-black skinny jeans and a black tank top nodded at him. She had sapphire eyes that looked like they glowed in the dark.

"Hi! I'm Stormie." A southern accent greeted him from between Sandra and Thoko. Like Sandra she was blond but she had grey almost blue eyes and was dressed in a little black dress that had daring cut-outs on the sides all down the dress.
