I spot him across the bar he was covered in tattoos and looked like someone that I use to be into - the type of guy I'd learnt to avoid but this time it was different this time I felt this pull, I felt like I really wanted to walk up and talk to him but I knew I couldn't - I knew it wasn't a smart move. I turn back to Ella who is still talking to her college mate she ran into Jay.
"Do you want another drink?" I ask
"Yeah, sounds good my feet are killing me can you go grab them?"
"Sure Hun" I smile
I get off the stool pull down my little black dress so it was defiantly covering my butt.
"Si, can you get me a tequila sunrise this time"
"Sounds good"
I walk closer to the bar and towards where this guy is standing.
"What the fuck am i doing?" I think to myself "Walk to the other end not next to him!"
I continue to the bar and end up standing next to him which I knew I shouldn't. I'm standing there for a couple of minutes waiting to be served - mr hottie is staring at his drink basically oblivious that anybody else is even around. The bar tender finally comes up to me.
"What can I get you?"
"A shot of tequila and 2 tequila sunrises, doubles please?"
"Sure" he smiles and walks off to get our drinks.
"Tequila hey?" Mr hottie says
"Yeah" I smile while thinking "What the hell am I going to say"
"Such a chick drink"
"Well I am a chick"
He looks at me and smirks "Well obviously ones for you but your boyfriend drinks tequila sunrises?"
"I don't have a boyfriend" I smile "it's for my friend"
"A girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend?"
"A girl like me?"
"You just look like you'd have the guys all over you"
"Yeah nah it seems to be the jerks that are all over me and I'm over it" I reply as the bar tender hands me our drinks
"That's $25.00"
"It's on the house" mr hottie replies
"Sure thing" says the bar tender and walks away before I have the chance to give him any money.
"Thanks" I reply downing the shot
I pick up the drinks and turn to walk back to the table.
"What's your name?" Asks mr hottie
"Sienna"
"I'm Dylan"
"Catch ya Dylan" I reply and walk away from the bar back to Ella who is still in deep conversation with Jay.

After giving Ella her drink I walk out to the smoking area and light one up. I stand over the rails and look out over the ocean.
"Tequila and smoking?"
"So?" I smile and turn around
"You know those things are bad for you?"
"Well you know you are in the smoking area right?"
"Hey, I didn't say I didn't smoke" he smirks and pulls one out of his pocket "So you look pretty bored tonight"
"Well my friends busy and this is my first time here" I smile
"Really?"
"Yeah we usually go to Secrets but Ella had friends coming here tonight so decided we'd come here"
"Well the diamond lounge is the best place to be"
"What are you? The poster boy?"
"No, just the owner" he smirks
"Is that supposed to impress me?"
"Well that sounds like a hard thing to do" he says with the same smirk on his face
"Si!!!" Ella runs out "Jay and I are going to get some food are you coming?"
"Umm I think I'll stay and have a couple more drinks" I reply "I'll grab a cab home and see you guys a bit later"
"Okay" she smiles "I'll see you at home" and she runs back out.
"Your drinks looking a bit empty do you want another?"
"Sounds good" I smile

Dylan stands with me at the bar as we drink and laugh. Before I knew it the club was empty and it was just Dylan and I. The music was turned down but still there and he was looking hotter and hotter by the second.
"Do you want to dance?" He asks
"I guess" I smile
We get up and walk over to the dance floor he walks over to the DJ booth and programs a song in all of a sudden 'watch me (whip/nae nae)' comes on I start laughing. He starts dancing by this point I'm in stitches which ends up making him start laughing. He walks over to me and places his hands on my hips.
"Your beautiful you know"
"And you're a sweet talker" I smirk
"No seriously" he replies leaning down to kiss me and suddenly he pulls away "We should get you home"
"Oh, okay" I reply kind of disappointed to be honest I'd been completely drawn to Dylan over the last few hours.
He closes up the club and we walk out.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" I ask
"Nar, I did but we broke up a few months ago bitch be crazy" he laughs
He hails down a cab.
"Do you want to comeback to mine?" I ask what did I just do? Iv never done this before but I just want to be around this guy.
"Nah, you should go home by yourself" he replies
"You can if you want?"
"Fuck it" he replies and jumps in the cab after me.

We arrive at my apartment and get out of the cab, Dylan hands the driver a 50 and tells him to keep the change. I let us in and as soon as I enter the apartment which is in darkness the thick smell of weed hits us - fuck Ella you could have opened a window.
"You smoke?" Asks Dylan
"Umm not really it's mainly Ella" I reply fuck I've bought this guy whose against weed to my apartment that smells like a weed den.
"Do you want some?" He replies
"Yeah okay" I smile feeling relieved
"I'll roll a joint"
"Okay let's go sit on the balcony" I reply
We walk outside and both sit down next to each other on the floor and look over the city. Dylan hands me the joint and I take a long drag - I instantly relax. Ella is the pot smoker here I do smoke but not very often only when I want to relax or have been drinking.
"So..." He smiles "why'd you invite me back?"
Oh fuck - what do I say?
"I wasn't ready to sleep yet" I say hiding the fact that it was really because I just wanted to be around him.
"So what do you do?" He asks
"I'm a clothing design student and I work at a fashion store"
"The dress your wearing is it one of yours?"
"Well actually it is" I smile "it was an assignment"
"I hope you got an A on it"
"A+ actually" I smile "what about you?"
"Well I own the club so that takes up most of my time" he smiles
"Oh yeah" I reply
We talk and smoke for what seems like hours before I know it the suns up and I look at the time and it's 8am.

"I should really go to sleep" I smile
"Yeah me too i better go"
"You don't have to" I reply
"I really should"
"If you want too"
"I don't" he replies "but I should"
I stand up and smile "it's up to you but I'd like you to stay"
"Okay"
I walk to my room and he follows. He sits on my bed and I grab my shorts and singlet pj's, walk into the bathroom and get changed. When I walk back out his still sitting on my bed but without his cap and his now wearing his singlet and his jeans.
"Move over" I smile
"Are you sure your okay with me staying?"
"Of course" I reply "now move your butt over"
He smiles and goes to the other side I pull the blankets down and shut the curtains and switch the light off.
"You can get under the covers" I say
Wow this guy is the last person I would think to be nervous around a girl. He moves around a bit and is finally under the covers. He moves around a bit more and I can feel his arm getting closer and closer to me then finally his hand is on my stomach I slide my hand down and put mine on top of his. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

When I wake up Dylan is gone. I lay there and wonder if I'll see him again I thought he'd leave before I woke up but I didn't think he'd leave without leaving his number or anything. I hear the door it must be Ella she probably went out for lunch. Next thing my door opens and Dylan's standing there with two coffees and a paper bag with what I assume is food.
"Hey" I smile
"I thought you might need coffee and something to eat" he replies
"How'd you get in?"
"I asked Ella for the key before she left so I could get back in without waking you up."
"Oh okay" I reply trust Ella to give some random guy my key...
We sit on my bed and drink our coffee and eat.
"I'll have to head off in a little bit but I don't have to go into work tonight do you want to go out for dinner?"
"Yeah sounds good" I smile
I open up the ham, cheese and tomato toasted sandwich and take a bite.

After a while Dylan leaves and tells me that he'll pick me up at 7:30 that night I check my phone and it's 3pm. I get dressed get my credit card and decide to go shopping. I go into work and have a look at the dresses that have just come in. As I pull a mini red silk dress off the wrack to try on my work mate Hannah comes over.
"Hot date tonight?" She asks
"Yeah actually" I laugh
"This is such a cute dress but there's a cute black and red lace dress over there that is really pretty"
I walk over and have a look at the tight short dress Hannah had pointed out and I also spot a purple one that is wavy.
"You know what I'll grab these two and the purple one" I smile
"Hard to choose?"
"I love them all" I reply "and hey I could do with some new dresses"
I go and have a quick look at other stuff while I'm in there and grab some new jeans, a pretty black corset top, a couple of cut out summer dresses and leopard print loose fitting singlet top. I get an amazing staff discount and leave then I run over to another shop and grab a pair of black platform pumps, strappy heels covered in chains and a new pair of thigh high boots.. I know I've already spent a fortune but I go to my favourite make up store in the mall and grab some knew make up and stop by a bag shop and grab a plain black clutch and one that matches my new heals with chains.

By the time I get home it's 5:30. Ella still isn't home which makes me wonder how I'm going to decide on what to wear. I decide its between the red and the black and red. I put on the red and it fits perfect I try it with the chained heels and the chained clutch and it's perfect. I get onto my make up and then do my hair when I've finished my hair I hear Ella come through the door.
"Si! Has the hottie left yet? Can I come in?"
"Yes Ella his gone!"
Ella walks in!
"Fuck Hun you look amazing!" She smiles "Did Mr hottie ask you out on a date?"
"Yeah Dylan asked me out for dinner"
"So he stayed last night?"
"Obviously! You gave him our keys."
"So what happened?"
"Nothing" I reply
"Something must have happened"
"Nope he didn't even kiss me"
"But he asked you out?"
"Yep" I reply
"And he stayed over in your bed?"
"Yep"
I look at the time it's 7:15.
"Hey, can you put this on me he should be here soon?" I ask handing her my beautiful white gold pendant my parents had given me for my 22nd birthday a few weeks ago.
"Sure" she replies taking it from me.

Right on 7:30 the door bell rings I answer the door and Dylan's standing there looking damn fine in black pants and a white shirt with his brown hair spiked a little but not too much.
"You look beautiful" he says handing me a bunch of beautiful red roses.
"Thanks" I smile "come in I'll just put these in water and grab my bag."
I go into the kitchen and put the flowers in a vase with water and grab my clutch. I say goodbye to Ella and we head downstairs. Dylan opens the door and let's me go through - wow he really is a gentleman.
"Are we walking?" I ask
"No, this is our ride" he says walking over to a limo
"Are you serious?"
"Yep" he smiles
The driver opens the door and let's us in. I get in and cannot believe any of this yesterday this time I was getting amped up for a single girls night and tonight I'm being driven around in a limo with an amazing man.
"Where are we going?" I ask
"You'll have to wait and see" he smiles
We drive for a while and talk about random stuff. About half an hour later we stop at what I'm assuming is our destination. The driver opens the door and I realise we are at the pacific bay resort - this place is exclusive I cannot believe we are here. We go to the hidden bay restaurant inside and Dylan asks for our table they lead us outside to this little garden area that has little lights and music and one table all for us. We sit down and they give us the drink menus and walk away.
"What you own this place too?" I smile
"Not quite" he laughs
"How'd you get us this amazing spot?"
"My dad actually owns the hotel"
"Oh" I reply "so what don't you or your parents own"
"Lol, not a lot"

We eat and drink and talk for ages - I love being around Dylan his such an amazing guy. After dinner he smiles at me.
"Do you want to go home or come back to mine?"
"Your place if you like?" I reply with a smile
"Okay"
We walk out of the restaurant and instead of walking outside he walks into the resort.
"You got a room?"
"Not quite" he smirks
We walk up the hall to an elevator and get in. He hits floor 9 and when we get there it opens straight into an apartment.
"This is your place?"
"Sure is" he smiles
"Wow" I reply "it's amazing"
"Do you want a joint?"
"Sounds good" I smile
Dylan leads me out to the balcony and opens a little box on his table and gets a joint out and lights it. We sit and smoke for while and instantly I feel calm and happy - well I was already happy but I was still pretty nervous.
"So did you enjoy dinner?"
"It was amazing" I smile
"I'm glad you liked it" he replies "hey are you okay with dogs?"
"Yeah"
"Awesome Misty needs to be let out or she'll crack the shits"
He goes inside and minutes later returns with the most beautiful staffy I'd seen. She comes up to me and places her head on my knee and I pay her head.
"She likes you, I rescued her she usually takes ages to warm up to people."
"She's beautiful" I smile

We go inside after a while and sit down on the couch a watch some TV.
"Are you hungry?" Dylan asks
"Yeah kind of"
"Me too. Let's order something what do you want?"
"Fries and an ice cream sundae sounds good"
"Okay"
Dylan orders us some food and we eat it in front of the TV. Then we decide its time to go to bed.
"Do you want something to sleep in?" He asks
"Yes please" I smile and he gives me an oversize singlet to wear.
I throw the singlet on and make my way to his room. He's already laying in bed.
"You can sleep in the spare room if you want? It's up to you?"
"No it's fine I'd rather be in here with you."
"Come here then" he says pulling back his blanket to reveal his bare chest and his boxes damn he looks hot! I get into bed and rest my head on his shoulder he raps his arms around me and I snuggle into him. "Your an amazing chick"
"Your an amazing guy" I smile
He rolls over so his facing me. He takes his hand and moves my hair out of my face. "You make me nervous" he says
"I don't know why" I say leaning in so my lips are just in front of his.
"Me neither" he says leaning in further and touching his lips against mine. He kisses me very gently. it's the most amazing kiss I've ever had. We kiss for ages he doesn't attempt anything else he just kisses me. It's funny I've only known this guy for 24 hours but he makes me feel so safe and comfortable it's an amazing feeling. He runs his hands through my hair and it gives me chills down my spine.
"Do you have work tomorrow?" He whispers
"No" I reply "only Monday through to Thursday at the moment while schools on break"
"Awesome - just wanted to make sure I didn't have to get you home early" he says as he kisses me again.

We just lay there kissing for ages, I run my hand down his side and leave it resting on his hip. He didn't try to go any further than that and I honestly didn't mind being here with him and having him next to me was quite enough. We fall asleep like that and I feel ever so safe wrapped in his arms all night as I sleep. The next morning I wake up and his not in bed I get up grab a cigarette and lighter out of my bag and make my way to the balcony. He is out there having one already.
"Good morning beautiful" he smiles.
"Morning" I reply as he walks over and kisses me.
I light my cigarette up and take a long drag. It tastes so good but everything feels amazing this morning.
"Do you want to do something today?" He asks
"Yeah but I only have my clothes from yesterday"
"I can send my dads assistant to your apartment to get you some"
"Would you?"
"Sure thing I'll make the call now" he replies and goes inside.
I stare off into the distance everything just looks so bright and happy.

Dylan comes out and tells me his organized it and also that he needs to go make a few work calls. About 15 minutes later i hear the buzzer go off. That can't be Dylan's dad's assistant already. I walk closer to the door to start to walk inside but I stop all of a sudden.
"Fuck Dylan" I hear a males voice say
"Don't speak so loud man I have company"
"Well what am I meant to do now? It's all fucked!"
"It'll be fine man don't worry about it"
I stay outside I have no idea what any of this is about and quite honestly I don't want to know.
"Don't worry about it? What the fuck?? How can we not worry about it the clubs going to get shut down"
"No it won't it'll be fine nobody will know!"
"How the fuck are you going to cover this up? His dead Dylan - his fucking dead"
I start to feel sick what the fuck am I listening to.
"Kale, shut the fuck up man."
"Oh yeah we wouldn't want your latest fuck to hear what really goes on in the innocent Dylan's life now would we"
"Kale, I'm fucking serious"
"So am I we may as well go to the cops now"
"They don't know anyone from the club was involved and we are going to keep it that way. The one night I'm not at the club and all hell breaks loose."
"Well it was going to happen eventually - that cunt was asking for it."
"So what's the latest"
"Apparently the police think it was a random attack. Jesse gave a statement basically saying no one was around when it happened and all they heard was 2 gun shots and when they went outside to check fuck head was dead and no one else was around. There's no footage so there is no evidence and the gun was stolen so there is no link to us."
"Well that's the story we are sticking to."
