“Ah, right.” I waggle my finger at him and head to Candi.
“Hey, I need to pee and I think Giovanna’s in this bathroom so I’m going to scoot downstairs. Can you keep an eye on my purse for me?”
“Sure you don’t want to wait?”
I shake my head and give her the universal sign of “I can’t hold it” by squeezing my legs together and bouncing. She laughs and I scurry to the elevator.
When it opens on the lower level, I’m met with a sea of dancing bodies and maneuver through them as quickly as I can. As I’m about to pass a group of men, I swear one of them purposefully steps into my path and I bump into him.
“Well, hey there,” he slurs.
“Oh excuse me. I’m so sorry.” I tuck my head down and continue on to the restroom.
