The past two nights had been tiresome, oh he had enjoyed meeting Cruz, learning from him and Nox. The pups were carrying on like brothers and Sage had been taking it all in stride. Despite the odd beginnings of their relationship, or whatever it was that they had going on, everything had been unfolding incredibly. For the first time in a long time, Aiden had started to feel like he belonged somewhere. The limelight was great and all, but that world was so shallow; the people he encountered in his professional life were shallow and wouldn’t think twice about backstabbing you. This tribe of misfits he had found… well, they needed each other… and Aiden was starting to feel that he needed them.
Cooper, Aiden’s limo driver had brought them to this strange one-night-only cabaret. Cooper was actually sitting in the very back, the limo taken by the valet; Aiden glanced over his shoulder and saw his limo driver smiling from ear to ear. The man needed a break from work and home, Aiden could be very needy with his requests at times… This was the least he could do. Aiden signaled for a waiter to come by and ordered two bottles of champagne, one for Cooper to enjoy and then another for Sage and himself to gulp down. He was feeling saucy tonight, after all. They could take a cab back to the mansion if Cooper got too sauced.
The waiter was back with the bottle in minutes, uncorking it with ease and pouring out two glasses for Aiden and his date. The waiter left the bottle in a bucket stuffed to the brim with ice and was off back into the crowd.
Aiden grasped one of the fluted glasses and announced, “To us and the glorious beginnings of something fantastic!” He clinked glasses with Sage and took a deep drink of the bubbling amber liquid. A fine vintage, indeed.
The crowd roared with laughter, heads tossing back drinks, couples kissing passionately around them. Aiden looked around and then back to Sage. He cocked an eyebrow at his date and said, “Quite the Bacchanalia we’ve walked into. Why are they laughing? Did I miss a joke or something? You look fantastic, by the way, babe. Despite the crowd, I am so thankful to have a night alone with you.”
Aiden winked at Sage and took another drink of the stuff. The show was absolutely insane. Aiden loved what he was seeing. This paled in comparison to the movie-musical of the same name, Cabaret, although Aiden did love Liza Minnelli. Hell, this was better than Moulin Rouge, and Aiden thought that movie was a feast for the eyes! The stages and costumes were amazing, but this... This was visceral, raw, delcious. He had no idea what to expect.
