"Bachelorette party time!" Tasha cheered from the front seat of the Uber.

The four of us were currently on our way to the Magic Mike themed club but Josie had no clue that's where we were headed. She still thinks we are going to a club for a simple girls night out. She's in for a big surprise.

We were all wearing our designated sashes that Tasha ordered a few weeks ago. Tasha did a great job at picking the right ones for each of us. Josie in 'Wifey Material', Tasha in 'Bad Influence', Sydni in 'Designated Drunk', and lastly me in 'Sexy and Single'.

We all even decided to wear black dresses to match. If anyone saw us on the street they would clearly know we were having a bachelorette party. From the look our Uber driver gave us the moment we got in I think we will be receiving a lot more.

While the girls were animatedly talking I was trying my best to shove unwanted memories away. Memories that I wasn't expecting to come forward, yet wasn't surprised by. As the days lead up to Josie and Wyatt's wedding the more my past came knocking. A past I wanted nothing to do with.

Just like wedding dress shopping I was going to do everything in my power to not ruin tonight for Josie. It was her bachelorette party and she didn't need me here bringing down the mood. So in order to do that I was going to shove my past far away and just enjoy tonight.

"You okay?" Josie nudged my arm, sending me a concerned look.

"I'm good. Excited about tonight." I sent her smile. Praying it didn't look as fake as it felt.

Probably not smart shoving all these feelings down and ignoring them but I never said I was smart to begin with. I've survived the last 29 years doing so and more than likely not gonna change that anytime soon.

"So Josie," Tasha said, taking the conversation away from me. "We have a surprise for you." She turned completely in her seat to give us all a wide smile.

"You have your scheming smile on. What did you do?" Josie narrowed her eyes at her maid of honor.

"We aren't going to a club."

"We're going to jail tonight aren't we."

"We are going to Magic Mike!" Tasha all but yelled as the Uber came to a stop.

"Surprise!" Sydni said with jazz hands making me snort.

"Wait, seriously?" A wide smile appeared on Josie's face as she looked at each of us. "I've heard so much about it!"

"Tasha's the one who set it all up." I added making Tasha grin.

"Just you wait." With that Tasha opened her door and climbed out. Mirroring Josie's excited grin I stepped out of the car, the Uber telling us to have a good night. As soon as we stepped onto the sidewalk I noticed the line in front of the building. The Magic Mike sign glowing above us.

With my arm hooked with Sydni's we followed Tasha and Josie to the front door. Behind us I heard people complaining, one even saying we were cutting in line. I couldn't hold back my smug look as we passed by the line of people. Most were women, with a few men sprinkled throughout, and they were not thrilled. I would be too if I was the one waiting in a huge line on a Friday night to get in.

When we got to the door all it took was a look at Tasha and we were in.

"I always forget how much of a pull you have." I commented as the door shut behind us.

"Pays to have assholes as parents." Tasha sent a smirk over her shoulder.

We only walked a few feet before we were met with another door with someone standing in front of it. As Tasha gave her name to the guy in front of us, Sydni all but bounced on her toes.

"I've been dying to come here ever since I saw the movie. I'm so ready to see hot half naked men dance."

All my earlier feelings were long gone as my excitement grew. I was just as excited to see what this place was like. I mean who can say no to hot men dancing and grinding on stage.

"Enjoy your time." Was all the guy said as he opened the door of us. As soon as we stepped through I felt my jaw drop. The place was even better than I thought. I guess I was picturing more of a strip joint than an actual venue.

It was two stories tall. Looked like the upper level had maybe four rows staggered up so everyone could see the stage that was directly in the middle. The floor level, where we currently were walking through, and tables scattered around. The whole place just screamed...sexy. It definitely had a more intimate vibe than I was expecting.

The closer we got to the stage the bigger it got, making me wonder what they'll be doing on it. My eyes widened slightly as Tasha stopped in front of a table right next to the stage.

"This is us."

"You sure?" Josie asked.

"Yep." With a wide grin Tasha pulled out a chair. I took a seat on the other side of the table, along with Sydni, letting Josie sit closer to the stage by Tasha.

No sooner had we sat down did a waiter come by asking if we wanted something to drink. Damn even the waiters are hot. It was a man in his later 20's dressed in a nice button up shirt and slacks but even with clothes on he was attractive.

"Four tequila shots to start." Came Tasha's instant response. "And a glass of wine for me."

One by one we ordered before the waiter left with a dazzling smile.

"Wow." I said, sharing a look with the others. "Even the waiters are nice looking."

"Eye candy for sure."

In under three minutes the cute waiter was back, placing our drinks on the table.

"Have a good night ladies." The little smirk he had would make any woman's panties drop.

"I want to propose a toast." Tasha grabbed her tequila shot and held it up. "To Josie. My best friend, my sister, the person to stand by my side no matter what." Across from me both girls smiles got watery. "I am so unbelievably happy for you. Tonight is all about you. So to Josie Scott, soon to be Josie Boone."

"To Josie." As one we all lifted our shots, clicking the little glasses together. Knocking the shot back I grimaced at the burn going down my throat.

"God that burns." Josie coughed.

"As the guys say...it puts hair on your chest." Tasha said around her own cough.

"I think I'm good with the chest hair." Sydni shook her head, taking a big sip of her wine.

"Safe to say the guys don't know we are here tonight?" Josie asked a few moments later.

"Nope. But even if Trevor knew he isn't my keeper." Tasha shrugged. There was something to be said about a guy trusting his girlfriend when she goes out and doesn't try to dictate what she does.

We sat there talking for another few minutes before the lights started to dim. The chatter around us getting louder with excitement. Josie turned her chair around to face the stage, Tasha smirking over in my direction. I knew she had a reason for having Josie sit that close to the stage. She was in for a treat here in a few minutes.

The lights dimmed as the sound of heels echoed around the room. They room quieted down as a woman appeared on stage, a spotlight hitting her.

"Welcome ladies and gentleman." Her voice rang out.

"Think I can ask her where she got her outfit?" Tasha leaned over to whisper.

I snickered but silently seconded her question. The woman in front of us was dressed in a pair of black dress slacks that fit her long legs, what looked like a pair of Louboutin heels, and a gorgeous black lacy buster. The outfit was sexy yet professional. It was a look I was definitely going to steal.

"Are you all ready to have fun tonight?" The woman asked. Everyone in the room cheering in response. "Tonight will be a night to fill all your fantasies." The way she said 'fantasies' in a sultry kind of way had me raising an eyebrow.

"Make sure you treat my men well tonight." She gave the crowd a wink before the lights shut off. Only a few seconds passed before music started playing and figures appeared on stage just as the lights turned back on.

I felt my mouth fall open at the sight before me. Men. Tons of men dressed in slacks and white button up shirts, sleeves rolled up, were on stage. Each one a different ethnicity, with long or short hair, some clean shaven and others with beards. But the one thing they all all had in common was how freaking attractive they were.

I'm pretty sure I looked like every woman in this place staring at the stage with wide eyes and open mouths. I didn't help our table was right next to the stage. The way the men walked around the stage, smirks on their faces, knowing they were about to have all these woman eating out of the palm of their hands.

I thought they were going to start stripping out of their tuxes but as the music switched all 8 of them started dancing.

Cheers rang out through the room as they moved around the stage like they owned it. And boy did they own it. The men knew how to dance. Their bodies moving in perfect sync with each other as they danced around the stage.

A few startled gasps around us had me looking to the side. While we were focused on the stage more men appeared at the tables behind us as well as above us along the railing to the two second level. It was one thing to entertain on the main stage and another to have men spread throughout the room so every person was included.

The men in front of us flipped in the air before lowering to the ground to grind. Beside me Sydni cheered, Tasha clapped, and Josie looked on with wide eyes.

I found myself leaning forward as the men spread out on the stage, moving towards the ends of the stage. The guy that stood only a few feet from us was hunky. I don't typically like men in man buns and beards but damnnn. The white dress shirt was snug and rolled up, showing off his forearms and what looked like a sleeve of tattoos.

He looked down at our table with a smirk. His eyes met mine and seemed to linger for a good minute before he moved along with the other men. I felt the girls look over at me with raised eyebrows which I responded with a shrug. I have no clue what that was about.

The dance ended, the stage going dark, where we could only see the men's shadows leaving the stage. Excited chatter started back up around us as everyone waited for the next dance to begin.

As we waited Josie turned to us with a big smile.

"This was a great idea."

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Woooo!" I cheered along with everyone else, watching the couple on stage in front of us. The woman laid back on the bed, back arched as the man descended from the rope above her. He held onto it with one hand, his muscles flexing with each movement.

He descended down until he was straddling the woman. The way he caressed her face and down her body had me shifting in my seat. The scene almost felt like we were intruding on a special moment.

All around me people gasped as the man suddenly wrapped his around her waist, holding her to him as the rope pulled him upwards. The pair hanging in the air only by his arm.

I looked on amazed. The amount of time and strength it took to do this had to be insane. I knew the moment the first dance was done that this wasn't your typical strip club. Sure the men were shirtless but they didn't just stand there and shed their clothing.

Everyone man, and woman, here was insanely talented. Made sense why it was hard to get tickets. Makes me wonder what strings Tasha pulled to get us here tonight.

As soon as the lights dimmed and the dance number finished, our waiter appeared at our table. He placed four more shots on the table and was gone before any of us could say anything.

"I want to make another toast to the bride." Sydni held grabbed her shot glass. "Thank you for bringing me into your friend group and giving me a new family." Sydni's eyes misted over as she spoke, all the alcohol starting to take affect. "So," clearing her throat Syd held up her shot. "To Josie."

Reaching over I squeezed Syd's arm before taking my shot. Across the table Josie gave her a soft smile. We were all being a bit emotional about Josie getting married but the four shots we've had in the last hour were probably not helping with our emotions.

"Oh it's starting again!" Tasha grinned as four shirtless men appeared on stage. I noticed the little glint in Tasha's eyes and knew something was about to happen.

I wasn't disappointed when the four shirtless men made their way down the stage. One headed straight towards us, mouth quirked up. With each step his ab muscles flexed, each one looking like it was cut from marble.

I leaned back in my chair with a smirk as I watched the man go right up to Josie. The way she was sitting at an angle I could see the way her eyes widened and her mouth hung open. Beside me both Tasha and Sydni giggled.

The guy leaned down and whispered something in Josie's ear to which she nodded. As soon as she nodded he reached down and grabbed her hands, bringing them up to run along his bare abs.

All around us I could hear other woman giggling, getting their own moment with one of the men.

Keeping Josie's hands on his stomach the guy reached down for her chair, yanking it away from the table. I grinned at the squeal that left Josie's lips.

"Get it Jo!" Tasha cheered.

The music was loud enough that I couldn't see what the guy was saying to Josie but I could see his lips moving. With the way Josie was smiling and nodding whatever he was saying she didn't feel uncomfortable with.

"Damn how do I get one?" Sydni asked beside me as we watched the guy straddle Josie's lap, moving his hips as his hands gripped the back of her chair. A second later he stood up and turned around, twerking his ass making all four of us laugh.

Seeing the way Josie was was loving every minute I was glad Tasha came up with this idea for the Bachelorette party. Going to be a night none of us we're going to forget.
