Is this destiny?

In a small place like Fairfield, it is not difficult to know everyone, especially if they are from the same circle and close in age.

Kaia and Bryn recognized all people in the bar area and on the dancefloor.

Fairfield for partying would be rather boring with only locals and no tourists, if not for Tesla University which provides a constant flow of fresh faces. The fact that Tesla University is highly ranked and that its students are rich makes that University appear like a treasure cove for dating.

When Ken said that so far he didn\'t see four guys who sent drinks, Bryn and Kaia assumed that they are students at the University.

Bryn stood up and looked at Kaia. "Are we going?"

Kaia wiggled her eyebrows. "What do you think?"

They took their drinks in their hands and made their way to the booth number five.

When they reached the booth, Kaia and Bryn smiled at the four young men who stopped their chatter and looked their way.

Bryn\'s and Kaia\'s eyes flashed, and their smiles widened when they saw that all four of them are good looking with handsome features and broad shoulders, and their expensive clothes only increased their appeal.

Kaia raised her hand which was holding onto the glass with a cocktail. "We are here to thank you for the drinks. I am Kaia and this is Bryn."

The young man who was on the far right stood up, towering over Kaia. "It is our pleasure to treat such fine ladies with drinks. I am Dylan." He gestured toward other guys from right to left. "My friends here are Zayne, Malik, and Alex. Would you like to join us?"

"Sure…", Kaia responded with a smile and Dylan moved to make space for her to sit between him and Zayne.

Alex stood up, making space for Bryn to sit from the other side, between Malik and Alex.

"Are you students at Tesla University?", Bryn asked. Now that she got a chance to see them up close, she guessed that all of them are in their late twenties.

"We were.", Malik responded. "We graduated five years ago."

"I haven\'t seen you around. I\'m sure I would remember.", Kaia said indicating that they are not locals.

"We were all in the general area and decided to meet for drinks. Something like a small reunion.", Zayne responded, and a sly smile appeared on his lips as he eyed Kaia. "The four of us coming here and meeting you must be destiny."

Kaia giggled. All four guys were good looking and smooth-talking, and the drinks were getting to her head, but she didn\'t care. They came here to party and have fun and that is exactly what she planned to do. The original idea included drinks and dancing, but now it seems that four handsome guys are added to the mix as well. This night will be awesome! And with any luck, they might catch themselves boyfriends. Ah, the possibilities.

The guys ordered another round of drinks and they chatted in a good mood.

Dylan and Zayne were focused on Kaia and based on Kaia\'s giggles, Bryn could assume that Kaia was having a good time. What Bryn didn\'t know was that Zayne\'s hand was under Kaia\'s skirt, feeling her out and Kaia didn\'t object, not even a little bit. After all, since Zayne told her that his family owns a restaurant chain in Midwest, Kaia was ready to open up her heart (and legs) for him. And Dylan was also a great boyfriend material, with his family being involved in politics and him aiming to be a senator by age 35.

Alex and Malik also had promising qualities that made Bryn label them as good catches. Alex\'s family owned a transportation company, and Malik had his own chain of fitness centers. Malik removed his jacket and flexed his arm, asking Bryn to feel his rock-hard biceps. She gave it a light squeeze and her smile told him that she approves.

"Hey, not fair…", Alex protested. "You don\'t need a fitness center to be fit. Check this out…" Alex offered to Bryn his arm and she confirmed that he is muscular as well.

They were like two peacocks, showing off and Bryn enjoyed all the attention. After being fired, she needed confirmation that someone appreciates her, and these two rich men were just what she craved for. 

"Where are you from?", Bryn asked Alex and Malik.

"I am from Charlotte, North Carolina.", Malik responded to Bryn. "Alex is from Austin, Texas."

Bryn nodded in understanding. "Since you are not from here, where are you staying?"

Alex responded: "We got rooms in the Holiday Express for the night. Am I correct to assume that you from Fairfield?"

Bryn confirmed. "Born and raised."

"So… what do you do?", Malik asked.

"I was working in the mall at Blanc." She saw that Malik and Alex didn\'t show any visible reaction, so she clarified: "Blanc is a famous jewelry maker. I was a salesgirl, until today."

"What happened?", Alex asked with concern in his voice.

"I made a blunder in front of important customers and got sacked.", Bryn responded.

Malik shook his head in disapproval. "Just like that? Shouldn\'t they give you a warning and a second chance?"

"That was exactly my point!", Bryn exclaimed. "It was totally blown out of proportions and my future is ruined."

"Isn\'t that a bit dramatic? Don\'t tie your whole future to one job.", Alex said. "Life is full of possibilities."

"You don\'t understand. Blanc is a good place to work with many opportunities. I was dreaming about parties I could attend and meet fine guys like you." Bryn blurted out due to alcohol in her system. Well, it was the truth.

Malik waved his hand at the waiter, gesturing for another round of drinks.

Alex took Bryn\'s hand in his and kissed the back of her palm. "Your current situation shows that you don\'t need Blanc in order to attend parties or meet fine guys like us. On the bright side, if you still have that lousy job, you would be home sleeping because you need to get up in the morning, and you would miss meeting us..."

Bryn smiled. Well, he was right. She was dreaming about getting into the circle of rich and famous through Blanc, yet here she is… in a booth with four rich handsome guys. She does not know if they are famous, but their clothes and way of behaving show that they are rich. Who knew that the day she gets fired from Blanc will be the same day she finds herself surrounded by guys who have an amazing boyfriend potential? And not one but four? Bryn\'s smile widened at the thought that this is the perfect example that when one door closes, another one will open.

She had to ask: "Do you guys have girlfriends?"

"Nothing permanent.", Malik responded.

"As of yet.", Alex added.

Bryn\'s eyes flashed when she felt Malik\'s hand squeezing her thigh under the table. Both of the guys are interested in her! This evening was getting better by the minute!
