“She’s a viper,” Toby said when we took our seats.
“Who?”
“Trinity. You know, the woman you were trying to blow up with your mind just now.”
“Was I that obvious?” I hoped I didn’t come off as a crazy, obsessed person to Ledger.
“I just know you is all. But I wouldn’t worry about Trinity. Even Ledger wouldn’t sleep with that.”
“What do you mean, ‘even Ledger’?” I knew he was single and all, but I didn’t think he slept around.
“Ledger enjoys sex, Shane. I’m just saying. Atlas said he’s picky, though, and won’t sleep with just anyone who touches him.”
I knew that should have eased my mind, but it didn’t.
“Doors opening,” someone shouted, and Toby and I turned and watched as the ballroom began to fill, and I looked around. There were three microphones set up in the aisles for when people wanted to ask questions. There was reserved seating for some, mostly friends and associates of the DJs. And wow, were we hated by people who seemed to think sitting here was like dating one of them.
“Are we supposed to ask questions?”
Toby shook his head. “No. As a matter of fact, I have a text from Ledger that says if we ask any questions, he’ll play sex noises at the club when he gets back, and tell people it’s me and Atlas role-playing as Teletubbies.”
A loud laugh escaped me, and a few people close to us turned our way. It was so noisy, I was shocked anyone heard me. “That’s hilarious.”
It took almost half an hour to get everyone in, seated, and settled. The stage was set with a long table for the DJs, their name tags, bottles of water, and microphones. There was a podium on the other end, where I assumed Silvia would be moderating.
I scanned the room, realizing people were wearing shirts and hats with the DJs’ names on them. “Oh, my God, we need to get DJ Edge merchandise before we leave and all wear it one day for work.”
Toby laughed. “We are so doing that, no question.”
