DAMON STARK'S P.O.V
"I'm telling you, you dimwit, chicks don't sleep with me because I'm Damon Stark they do me because well I am awesome." I said.
"Ok prove it," Mark challenged, knowing I could not resist the bait. This sounded interesting.
"Fine. . .tonight at Blackout.I will take a girl to bed without her knowing my identity."
"No.How stupid do you think I am?Everyone in that club knows you...I pick the club"
"Fine with me. Leave. Unlike you, I have work to do." He left my huge office.I didn't lie I actually had a lot of work to do but it was nothing I couldn't handle.
The business was my father's life and it was time for my brother and I to take over. My trampy assistant brought paperwork to my office not failing to sway her hips hoping to seduce me.She's got some nerve.She barely been here for a week.It's a good thing I usually keep two assistants.
The only reason I had not fired her was because I had slept with her and I did not want a scandalous law suit.
I went through the paperwork concerning the business deal with Castro Enterprises.I was reluctant to work with Sebastian Castro.The man was known for having a hot temper and he was not a man to mess with.
The deal would make the company and myself a lot of money.I owned a construction company and Sebastian wanted to an additional branch for his company in Miami.I was hoping to land him as a client.
I also wanted to buy to shares of his company.His was one of the best agribusiness and marketing companies in the planet.Recently I had been looking into the agribusiness sector and I wanted to join in.
Other than his hot temper Sebastian and I could make friends.
I jumped from meeting to meeting that afternoon.I was used to the work load.I went home late in the night.
Mrs.James, my loyal house keeper had already left,with my dinner in the microwave since I was late.She was the longest standing relationship I had had with a woman in years .Most of mine ended within days weeks if they get lucky.Life was just the way I like it.
*****
The next morning getting to the office I got a call from Mark the second I sat fown at my desk.It was six in the morning so I knew he wasn't at the office yet.
"It's called Neon.New.At the far end of the city.Tonight."
"Good morning to you too " I gre "...have the driver pick me at the office at...seven"
"Not all men have drivers of their own."
"How about this?The challenge will be to walk out of the club with me Ok "
"Fair enough "he hung up and I began doing y work.
*****
We got to the club at eight o'clock.It was kind of far.I told my bodyguards to wait outside the club.But one of them went in with me and stood where I could reach him if he was need.I only had bodyguards just in case something unexpected happened otherwise I could take care of myself.
It was loud from the usual booming music.The place was filled with parting girls and horny men.Everyone was either intoxicated or high.At least that's what I gathered as I walked in.Mark and I sat at the bar instead of the VIP section on the floor above us.
I was picking out my target when I got a call.
I went outside to answer it away from all the noise.
"...Fix it... NOW!" I roared at the useless employee on the other end of the city.Before I could make my way back into the club using the back door a girl whose face I didn't get a chance to see zoomed out.Her back was to me the whole time she threw up.I didn't know what to do so I just watched.
What is this? Her first time drinking?
I just stood watching her,admiring her tight and sexy backside .The thought of touching that nice and tound ass of hers made my little friend start getting excited if you what I mean .I still wanted to know who the owner of that amazing body was.She stood but still wasn't facing me.She just dug around her purse.She seemed familiar.Her hair was long and straight.It was a nice mix between brown and raven.
Turn
Turn
Now
Please
This has to stop.I need to do something.
I cleared my throat to get her attention.It worked she finally turned around and I got a look at her face.
Her silky looking hair plunged over her shoulders.Her amazonian figured was as sexy as sin.I looked into her enchanting hazel eyes.I wanted more than anything to kiss her lips and touch her tan skin.
She was absolutely gorgeous. I had to have her for the night.
ANDREA CASTRO'S P.O.V.
***Earlier that night***
"No!I will not drink that!"I exclaimed looking at the weird cocktail Kai just handed me " even it's name is weird.What is it called again?"
"Cranberry Moscow Mule,I've tried it come once Andrea live a little" He tried to convince me" Danny had me try it the other night at this very club." He and his boyfriend Daniel were always doing crazy things.
I stared at the cocktail and lightly touched the twig thingy inside the glass.I rarely drink so I wondered if it was me or was the drink indeed peculiar.
It looked weird.
First Kai pulled me out of my after work nap then he took me to a club.A club that is more than an hours drive from my apartment.I didn't even have the time to properly dress.Many girls were in short tight dresses whereas I was in blue denim jeans,a black top and boots.
I am not the kind who dresses to impress,I dress for comfort.As long as I am not naked its ok.
I insisted on ordering a normal drink like a sangria but he had to be wild with his....Cranberry Moscow Mule.The drink had the word me 'mule' in it and he expected me to drink it.I didn't even like cranberry juice to begin with.I was barely comfortable with the place and he expected me to chug down the concoction.
"Just do it,Drea.It is ok.I have had this drink before and I think that this bartender is the same one that made my drink the other day,"he began "His name is Tony or Thomas...ok its starts with a 't' or a 'l'."
"No...look it's already " I paused to check the time on my phone."...eight o'clock.I have work tomorrow.Plus if my father finds out I came here he is going to kill me.Are you willing to face him ?"If my dad found out I went out to a club and drank he would make me move back home and my bodyguards would return.
There was also the risk of paparazzi seeing me there.The last thing I wanted of to be on the cover of some gossip magazine or even be mentioned in it.So far things were fine I had never done anything scandalous worth that the gossip column.
I wasn't afraid of my father but Kai sure was.My father was known to be hot tempered by many but I barely knew that side of him.It only showed when it came to me being involved with a member of the opposite sexy.Father freaked out when he found out I was friends with Kai but cooled down when I informed him of Kai's sexual orientation.For three good and crazy years we had been best friends ever since we met in college at Oxford back in England.
We were in the same philosophy class and we graduated around same time.We both moved back to the United States roughly six months before.Though Kai travelled a lot our friendship was still going strong.
On our first month here I convinced my parents to let me get my own apartment in the city and after bugging them all day everyday they finally allowed it.Dad actually bought the apartment so I don't pay rent.It saddened me when I found out
I would not be paying my own rent because I so badly wanted to be independent but I moved on.There were other ways I could prove I was self reliant.
Kai and I met Danny at the gym and the two of them have been dating ever since.I take full credit for my bestfriend's happiness,I was the one who convinced him to go to that gym.I admire their relationship very much they have so much fun together and one day I hope to have the same with someone who was made for me.
"I can not believe you.We've known each other for more than three years and you are trying to poison me.For shame Kai,for shame Kai."I spoke in a judgemental tone with my arms crossed,my head shaking to show my disappointment.
He took a sip of the mysterious drink and looked at me in an "I told you so " manner.
"See its perfectly ok.Surely Drea,would I poison myself?"
"I don't know Kai ,you tell me "I challenged giving him a serious look.
Ignoring my statement he pushed the cup closer to me.I eyed the drink then moved my hair out of the way to taste the poison.Slowly I moved it closer to my lips as my hands trembled fearing that it tasted bad and that Kai was playing a prank on me.Kai just looked at me.I took a sip.I moved it around my mouth. Surprisingly it wasn't that bad.It kinda good.Very good actually.
I was on my third when Kai warned me,"don't take too much you might throw up,Drea."
"Ok Mr.Barkeep three more of these please " I said shaking my empty glass in the bar keepers face rudely.The behaviour isn't like me but I was sort of intoxicated.The ice,cranberry and lemon in the cup took up most of the space so in each glass there was less than two ounces of alcohol.Chances of me getting drunk were low.
On the forth one I started feeling rather nauseous.My stomach felt weird.I knew what was going to happen next.The drink was coming up and soon it was going to burst out of me whether I was ready or not.
Seriously?The one time I drink.
"Uh oh...I know that look.Ummh I think the bathroom is behind that green door " I tucked my bag under my arm and made for the bathroom. Kai pointed to a door that at the moment seemed two thousand miles away.I stood up and rushed to it.Opening the door I found it was the bloody back door.
In too much of a rush I pushed past a guy whose face I hadn't even seen and threw up on the side of the dark alley.I felt so much better after.I swore to never again drink.Knowing me and my sudden revelations that wouldn't last very long.I stood up from my bent down position and took out a mint from my purse that I had carried thinking it would be of help.
All of a sudden I heard someone clear their throat.
Oh God!Has he been here the whole time.
Had a complete stranger witnessed my distateful scene?
I drank and now I was being punished by God.Facing the consequences.
Why does this always happen to me?Right, because I keep going out with Kai.
Thought of how I would punish my 'friend' for this rushed through my head as I used the bottle of water I always kept in my bag for when I would finally go to the gym to rinse my mouth. Deciding I needed the hydration, I gulped down the entirety of the bottle and shoved it into my purse. A mint followed and I started feeling less like roadkill.
I turned around.My jaw dropped at the sight before me.
Lacquered and enamelled by the sun he radiated energy and power.His mountain peak cheekbones appeared chiseled by a master craftsman.He had stormy blue eyes and jet black hair.Frankly,this man looked familiar.Was he some model I had seen in a magazine?He could be.
This man was seriously hot.I would not be surprised if you told me I was drooling.
We just admired each other for a while.I got lost in his eyes probably never to return.He was taller than me by a few inches so I had to strain a little.My eyes wandered over his built body making him smirk.
"Are you ok ?"I nearly swooned at the sound of his voice.It was deep and sexy.It made me forget all I had been taught at church about being a good christian.Weird how this man had such a strong effect on me.
"P-Perfectly fine.Why wouldn't I be?"He pursed his pink lips into a thin slit and looked over my shoulders reminding me of what I had just done.I had just vomitted on the alley.A shameful act if you ask me.
Hopefully he wouln't call the authorities,would he?Maybe he was the authorites.I could picture him in a tight fitting police uniform.
I looked down in embarrasment. He took a step closer to me and his wonderful scent covered the air around .With his large index finger he lifted my chin.Looking up he smiled at me.It was a comforting smile and I smiled back at him.We looked into each other's eyes till he broke the dead silence.
"How about we go for stroll and you can tell me all about it?"He asked.
"No I really should be going I don't want to keep my friend waiting"
"Am sure he'll understand."He held out his arm for me.Very gentleman like of him.I found myself trusting him.
I didn't hold his hand but followed as he led the way.
