Her Price (on hold)

Chapter 5

As we stepped into the Nightclub I realized I was way out of my league here. This club was Amazing!!



There were cushioned booths with tables in the middle situated in a circular pattern throughout the club Surrounding the dance floor. The Dance Floor itself looked like a huge circular pool with a glass top! The bar was directly across from the Dance Floor. The club was covered in Tans, Purples, and Whites.



I was so busy looking around at everything that I didn't realize Anna had been pulling me directly towards the bar. The music was booming throughout the club. Currently Pitbull was playing "Feel this moment". The Club wasn't as busy as I thought it would have been but maybe it's really exclusive.



We got to the Bar and we were approached by a really cute Bartender! He was about 5'9 with blonde hair and light blue eyes. Not too bad if I do say so myself!



"What would the lovely ladies like to drink this evening?"



"We would like 2 screwdrivers please." Anna Purred to the Bartender.



"Coming Right up" he replied with a wink.



He mixed our drinks in front of us and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the show of his muscular arms mixing the drinks. He slid the drinks in front of us and when Anna went to pay he held up his hand and said "First ones on the House".



"Thank you......" I drew it out and the Bartender replied "Thomas".



"Thank you Thomas". I repeated and smiled at him. He returned my smile and then moved towards the end of the bar to a different customer.



We grabbed our drinks and made our way through the dance floor towards an open booth. We both sat down and Anna asked "So what do you think?"



I slowly glanced around absorbing what I saw and replied " I don't know how you got us in here but this place is amazing." Anna smiled at my reply and we both began scoping out the hot guys scattered through the club.

Anna and I had a few rules we went by when we were clubbing.

First Rule: Never go with the First Guy that approaches you. There is an exception to that rule but he has to be pretty damn amazing for us to break it.

Second Rule: When we finally decide to dance, we always dance with each other the first time. After that if a guy asks us to dance we can accept if we choose.

Third Rule: Unless specifically stated before we start out on our night, there is no abandoning each other to leave with a guy.

Now Anna has broken rule #3 a few times but not before making sure I had a way home and/or was ok to drive.

We sat at the booth chatting and finishing our drinks when Anna out of nowhere shouts

"OH MY GOD! THIS IS MY SONG!!!!!!!!

She jumps out the booth, dragging me with her to the dance floor and we begin dancing to Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. We're both dancing our asses off for a while on the dance floor. I finally start feeling parched and I shout at Anna I'm gonna go to the bar and grab a water. I ask if she wants one and she shakes her head no and waves me off.

I move through the crowd and make my way to the bar. I stand at the Bar and look for Thomas. I feel someone bump into me and before I can look they speak.

"So Sweetheart, What's your price?" I hear a drunkenly dark voice slur. I turn and look at the man talking to me. He looks to be about 60 yrs old and has a gold wedding band on. I scowl at him in disgust. "Listen Mr. I am not a hooker!, and if I was I sure as HELL wouldn't give you the time of day!" I spat at him.

I go to turn back to the bar and He grabs my arm and jerks me sideways.. Before I get the chance to turn around and knock some sense into this guy, he releases me. When I turn to look, I see another man has grabbed the old guy and is holding him off the ground by his throat! The guy tosses the old man clear to the other side of the club and then begins to straighten his suit. Holy Shit! This guy is strong. Damn, now I have to thank this nameless guy for helping me out. I go to approach, and the guy in question turns around. I am then frozen by a pair of Blue Cobalt eyes.

Oh my god! My mouth is dry so I swallow and try to compose myself. Aiden notices and I think I see the corner of his mouth lift. Then it's gone before I can confirm it was ever there. His pouty lips thin and his stance subtly changes to look more stern somehow.

He looks over my outfit and his eyes stray to my cleavage and remain there for an extra moment before he looks in my eyes and says "Hello Ms.Steele, I didn't expect to see you so soon."

My ability to reply has completely left me at this point. To my utter mortification I just stand there and stare at him. He stares right back at me for what feels like forever, when in reality it was only for a split second. He turns his head to the side like a puppy would when they're trying to figure something out.

I'm bewildered for a moment noticing that move, but then In the distance I think I hear someone calling my name. I'm still looking at Aiden when I feel someone grab my arm. When I tear my eyes away from him to look at who grabbed me. I see Anna. She looks troubled. My surroundings come back to me at that moment

I start to hear things around me like the music of the club but also shouting. I look back to where Aiden is standing and he's no longer there. I look around and he's nowhere to be seen. What the hell?

I look to Anna and I can see her mouth moving but I can't quite make out what she's saying.

"What" I ask.

Anna's words then become clear to me. "Lexa what the hell is wrong with you? Are you okay?:

"Yea, I'm fine" I reply "why?"

"Because I've been trying to talk to you for the past few minutes but you were just staring at nothing and wouldn't respond to me."

I'm confused. What is she talking about? "What do you mean? I was waiting to get a drink from the bar and this old guy hit on me and then..."

Before I could finish my story Anna grabs my elbow and starts leading me out the club. I can still hear some shouting and when I look behind me there are a few people gathered around someone on the ground beside a table.

We get through the doors and Anna signals a Valet for her car to be brought up. When I look at Anna she looks flushed and nervous.

"Anna what happened back there? Why was someone lying on the ground?"

Anna looks at me and gets this relieved look on her face. "I think some older guy had a heart attack and fell down."

"Oh" Something in the back of mind tells me that isn't true.

Something isn't right. But I can't focus for some reason. Maybe I had more to drink then I remembered.

The valet pulls up with Anna's car and we both get in. Time as I shut my door Anna slams her foot on the gas and we shoot away from the club.

"Whoa Anna! What the hell are you doing?"

An ambulance passes us headed back towards Nightwalkers. Anna looks in the rearview mirror nervously and slows the car back down to a decent speed.

She laughs nervously and says "Sorry Lexa, this car is really touchy and I keep forgetting I don't have to mash the gas too hard."

I look at her for a moment and then let it go. My mind feels a little fuzzy and I can't seem to recall much about what we did at the club.

Anna drops me off at home and says she call me tomorrow. I agree and then make my way up to my room. I change into some black soffee shorts and a blue cami, remove my makeup and get into bed. I lay there and think about tonight. I remember the Bartender Thomas and the Screwdriver and dancing and I remember going back to the bar to get something to drink. And then...... Nothing....

"Damnit" why can't I remember....I think harder and I remember someone bumping into me and then Anna's pulling me outside and we leave. But something just doesn't feel right. I go down to the kitchen and walk to the sink for a glass of water. When I look out the kitchen window it looks like there's something in the woods at the edge of the lawn.

I squint my eyes and I see blue-ish reflector's like an animals eyes when you shine a light on them. But there too high up to be a deer or coyote. I rub my eyes and blink and look again and see nothing.

I shrug my shoulders and make my way back to my room. I lay in bed and stair at the ceiling and go over tonight's weird events again. I don't think I'm gonna participate in any of Anna's Friday rituals for a while. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep dreaming of cobalt blue eyes.



*Unknown POV

Watching her from my spot in the woods I see the way her throat moves from swallowing her drink. That beautiful looking throat that I would love nothing more than to caress and kiss and sink my fangs into and watch the beautiful red liquid poor out. She has no idea who she's dealing with.

I watch her eyes stray to where I'm standing and she stares for a moment and then rubs her eyes. I take the opportunity to leave. Once I'm a fair distance away I begin to slow my steps to a casual walk. I will have her and soon.A genuine smile appears on my face as I amuse myself by picturing her begging and pleading for me to spare her. Ha!

I'm so wrapped up in my imagining that I don't notice where I'm walking and I bump into someone.

" Why don't you watch where the hell you're going." An angry slurred voice asks. I look at the man I bumped into who appears to be drunk. By the state of his clothes he looks homeless as well. Hmmm, I can use this situation.

I look around and cast out my senses to make sure no one is around. The man begins to stumble away when I grab him, pull him into the woods and bury my fangs in his neck. The man shouts and then begins to make those lovely gurgling noises that are like music to my ears.

After I'm through with him I dispose of his body deep within the woods. I then make my way home and settle in for the rest of the night.

"Oh yes Alexus, you will be mine and I will savor every agonizing scream."
