Pulling into the driveway of his new beachfront condo, Greg Johnson rolled up his windows and stepped out of his Lincoln MKZ. Looking out at his new neighborhood, he was slowly getting used to the warm weather of South Beach. It was the end of his first work week down here, and after a long, ugly divorce, it was exactly what he needed to readjust to being single. Or at least, so he hoped.
It had been a long last six months while his divorce became complete. Thankfully, his law firm looked at him as an up and comer, and were willing to work toward a new beginning in beautiful Miami. But if you would have told him at 25, he would be happier with his new career than his marriage, he would kicked you to the curb. Thankfully, they hadn’t had any kids so when he found out about his spuoses’ extracurricular relationships, it was an easy decision. Living with it, however, was not as simple. He wasn’t getting out much yet, but he also knew he wouldn’t run into his ex down here. She was too busy out in the suburbs of Philadelphia with the older guys she was all about supposedly.
Before he could make it inside, he heard a car horn in the background. It was enough to catch his attention, and once he saw who was behind the noise, he couldn’t help but laugh. What the hell were these two jokers doing here, was his initial thought. Allowing the Ford Mustang to pull up, he shook his head as his two buddies, Jake and Tim, jumped out.
“Long time no see man,” Jake quickly said, “Heard you needed some motivation to get your social life kicked up.”
Tim quickly interjected, “So we’re taking you out tonight. We got some passes to Mansion, that hot beach club near downtown." As the guys started to pull out their bags, Greg couldn’t believe they were here. Of course, his two best friends would come down to help him out, but to not tell him? That was a new one.
An hour later, they were all lounging on his back patio overlooking the ocean. Greg had his 6’2 frame stretched over his new patio furniture. Of course they had convinced him to go. They had come all the way down here, and it was the least he could do. He had showered and lightly gelled his short brown hair. He had changed into a blue striped swim trunks and a casual blue shirt. He didn’t have a clue what to show up looking like. Casual flip flops would finish off his look, and he just hoped that they fit in, which of course, his buddies assured him that they would.

6 beers and 2 hours later, they walked in through the VIP door. How they got in there or had connections? Greg had no idea ,but he didn’t bother worrying about that. Mansion was packed from the looks of it. It certainly wasn’t the sports bar that he was used to hanging out at, but he was willing to give it a shot. Glancing around from his green eyes, he saw multiple bars in front of him, with a main staircase in between them. He walked to the edge of the stairs, looking over the edge and seeing the beach in the distance with a pool and a couple of dancefloors and DJs below. The place was well laid out and massive compared to anywhere else he had been. There was a VIP area that they could access, but he didn’t rush over there. Instead, he turned to his couple of friends, before realizing that they had disappeared.
He expected to see them down in the pool or by the dance floor eventually, but he decided to just saddle up near the bar. He got the female bartender’s attention, but was a bit taken aback when she showed up in a bikini. Maybe it was a little small, but she could certainly pull it off. After getting his Bud Light, which was slightly overpriced to say the least, he turned his back to the bar and watched people continue to pour into the club. He muttered something to himself, “Is there any girl that isn’t a 10 in here?” as he found himself staring awkwardly at almost every girl that walked past, some more than others.
