Darling, I Don't Love You!

Chapter 2

He paled. "Nine-hundred. That's the absolute best I can offer."

I looked into his eyes and once I determined he was telling the truth, said a simple, "Okay."

"Really?! Oh thank the Lord!" he exclaimed as he clasped his hands together.

I wondered slightly if he should really be thanking the Lord that he convinced a minor to help seduce women for money. Then again, he didn't know I was minor, but it was still pretty bad. Oh well, I was going to make at least over a thousand bucks, so I basically couldn't care less.

He grabbed and dragged me past the gigantic guards who let him pass through easily. Damn, what did these people eat? Steroids for breakfast?

As I walked through the long hallway, I noticed how beautiful lights were flashing through a semi-dark room.

When I looked inside, I was shocked. the place was amazing. The huge dome- like walls and ceiling were all made out of glass. All sorts of lights were on display, from strobe lights to lasers lights. The light from the moon and stars passed through the glass ceiling giving the dome a mystical glow. I could even see the ocean reflecting all the lights from the club and sky from the glass wall.

The club had an energy about it that I had never felt before. I felt an adrenaline rush. It felt good. I heard music that I had never heard before today, that made my heart pump. The people in the club were moving to the beat of the music.

I understood why so many people came. It was like another world. A place you could come to forget the real world and all it's fucked up problems; a place just for us.

"Amazing, huh?"

I turned to Curly. "Yeah. This is sick."

"The owner is a total genius, huh?"

"Totally." I said. I had thought this would be just a place where the idiots of the world would come to just get drunk, but here you could get drunk without drinking. I didn't see anyone drinking to the point of being drunk. Only a few were at the bar at a time, and most barely took more than they needed to be a bit tipsy.

"Come on. The private party isn't here."

I raised an eyebrow. The dome was huge. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was the size of an American football field. "Where else would it possibly be?"

"Follow me."

We walked passed so many dancers, a few female ones asked me to dance. I guess the lighting tonight had helped conceal my age everyone or maybe people just thought I ad a baby face. I mean even Curly thought I was older when he met me outside.

I politely declined their offers and ran to catch up with Curly. He stood next to a door with yet another set of steroid-induced guards. I mean my bastard father was a fit man, but these dudes were inhuman.

"Are we going in?"

"That's what we're here for, right? Let's go-" he paused for a bit and then asked, "What your name?"

Well it took him long enough to ask. "Gale."

He made a goofy grin, "Let's go, Gale."

Before I could even ask him his name he dragged me through the door.

Long. That was the only thing to describe the staircase leading down. The moment I got off the last step of the of the staircase, I stepped onto a sleek marble hallway that was also long.

"There's an underground part of this place?" The lights were just glowing bulbs on the wall, they were pretty dim, but they also had a somewhat calming effect.
