'I wonder what she's doing tonight'

Chevron leaned on the wall and watched the large party of celebrities including Mayor Jimmy Walker. Mae West looked back and gave him 'that look.'' It was wasted this time. He was waiting for White and trying not to worry. She was late and she was never late. Even when she had to cut church, she always pulled it off. And tonight was a special occasion. He'd been saving for months. Just as he convinced himself something had happened and was building up the courage to approach the two New York cops, he heard her. White was full of apologies. Her mother had a headache and her parents had been late leaving for their Sunday bridge night.

Chevron was looking sharp in a black and white patterned suit. His sense of style was one of the things she loved about him. White was plainer, with soft rounded curves. No silk or sequins for her. She took her boyfriend's arm and they joined the stream of people pouring into the basement.

The Cotton Club was one of the best known clubs and politicians, princes and pimps rubbed shoulders in its exotic interior. It may have been the prohibition era but that didn't stop the jazz notes or the drinks flowing at The Cotton Club.

For Chevron and White it was their first visit and they were excited.

They were young and looking for fun and in 1926, fun was The Cotton Club. 👠
