CHAPTER 2

*Dominic

The Driver pulled up at the mansion around 9. I hadn't meant to be so late, but it took me forever to get rid of that girl I met last night. I met her at a club a ways north of here. She got so drunk that I questioned whether she should even be alive? I couldn't leave her sitting there in the parking lot begging for me though. She was extremely attractive besides her awful breath and crooked teeth. Maybe if it were some other day...or possibly if she had even an ounce of class I wouldve taken her right there in that parking lot like she was begging. But I give myself to few women like that. I know what happens to boys that roll in the dirt with the dogs....

Anyway I took her home with me. before I even hit the highway she had passed out. Part of me wanted to take a left and throw her into the nearest hospital but that requires more strength, patience, and time that I've already run out of. I had one of my housekeepers clean her up while she was still passed out. Unfortunately she stayed that way until late in the morning.

And then came the hangover. If I didn't know any better I would say before she found me someone knocked her upside her head with a hammer. However, I don't pitty her. Not in the slightest. Like I said earlier, you roll with the dogs you get dirty. You drink you body weight in lime martinis and vodka and you get...her. A combination of puffy faced red eyed frizzy haired sour breathed hungover mess.

At around five she passed out again. When she came to it was already 6:38 and I needed to get ready. After eating she could finally recall her name and where her car and purse were. By the time I was prepared to leave so was she. At 8:20 we got to the club and all but shoved her out with a swift goodbye and sped off.

We're an hour late but that will have to suffice now. I hurried in past the ushers who were used to seeing me and didn't bother escorting me. I ran past the grand dinning room through the kitchen and past the maintenance quarters. I gave a slight wave to Fred and continued onto the short hallway that led to 1 of the only balltoom entrances. "Shit" I cursed under my breath.

I forgot about the long bright marble staircase overlooking the grand ballroom. Guess I don't really have much of a choice now. As I started my slow descend on the staircase heads began to turn. I could of sworn I heard a few sighs and giggles coming from some of the younger girls ugh.

I neared the last ten steps when I noticed the bare retreating back of the one and only, Evelynn looking beyond mouth wattering. If she weren't such a poisonous witch I might have just devoured her by now. No sooner than I hit the ground my Boss grabbed for me. I braced myself for whatever he planned to say. This was one of the only men that actually scare me......

" Ah! there's ma boy! You little devil you" he said while playfully punching my arm? Since when is he playfull? I opened my mouth to respond but then I smelt him. Wow I don't think I've ever seen him drunk like this before. He'll have my head tomorrow when the hangover hits. He must have been stressed when he realised I wasn't here to help with some of his tougher business associates.

"oh I know that look! Your afraid aren't ya. hahaha Relax Boy they weren't as tough as you think. In fact our meeting ended 20 minutes ago. I decided I would relax for once and have some fun."Hey Nick! Over here" I looked out into the crowd to see my small circle coming closer to me. "You boys go mingle and have some fun. There's a young cat over that totally wants me" my boss said while wriggling his eye brows up and down and pointing over to some 40 year old lady dancing on the ball floor.

He gave her a wave and a wink saying come hither. She stopped what she was doing and elbowed her friend. They both looked and returned the favor by flipping him off and walking further away into the crowd. This only caused us to laugh harder. "Yup she totally wants this" he said while rubbing his beer belly and stalking off towards them. "That boss of yours is something else " Jayson said while shaking his head.
