One-shots

Cold Grey Eyes

"Omg! Hot guy alert omfg! Fix your lip gloss lady I think he's coming over here!" Janice screamed over the thumping bass of the night club. Oh dear god here we go again! Girls-night my butt! Like she actually wanted to spend time with me...no she just didn't want to go alone and now she's going to leave me here for her new "prince charming!" 

"Janice come on he's not that hot and it's getting kinda late what do you say we head ho-" I looked beside me and could practically see the line of smoke from where Janice bolted out of her seat and ran towards the really, really handsy and drunk "prince." Right now he appears to be groping her butt while she jabbers in his ear. The next thing I know some tall stranger is blocking my view and Janice is gone. 

"Excuse me Miss is this seat taken?" 

"Well, I don't know, if it were then why would it be empty, you do the math sweetheart!" I replied blowing air out my cheeks. I can't believe she left me alone and went with that idiot! I don't even remember where we parked!  Instead of getting the hint from my rude tone, and backing off, the strange man sat down next to me and to my utter annoyance ordered two shots. 

"Don't think I'm gonna drink anything you buy for me! You could slip something in there for all I know!" I said, as the bartender made his way over with the glasses. He just looked at me amusement clear on his face. 

"Those aren't for you sweetheart but if you wanted something you could've asked." He smirked. 

"Whatever, I don't even know why I said anything!" I answered back embarrassment clear on my face. The chemistry between us was plausible and if it were a Saturday night I'd definitely be going home with him. Now, he isn't the most attractive man I'd ever seen but he definitely goes into the cute almost hot category which is good enough for me!

"So you wanna get outta here?" He asked looking over after a few minutes of silence. I scoffed,

"Yah I don't think so buddy I got work in the morning." 

"Oh yah? What do you do?" He asked. I really don't know if I should tell him anything about myself honestly, I don't even know his name! I do know though, that we've just met, in a night club, and it's not the best part of town. 

"Don't you wanna know my name first?" I said laughing lightly. 

"Sure." He said simply. 

"It's Janice Apperton." I said using my friends name. If this guy ends up being crazy then at least I know that friend-leaving man-lover will be going down instead of me!

"My name is Even Genovese." He responded. Shit! Where have I heard that last name before?

"Cool, I'm a journalist." I responded. Okay, well almost a journalist right now I work as a barista but I am working on the whole big break thing. Kind of. He just nodded not bothering to respond, and ordered another round.

"So" I said playing with the tiny shot glass in front of me. "You gotta job?" 

"Sure do." He said. 

"Your not much of a talker are you?" 

"Guess you could say that." 

"So what do you do then?" My curiosity was wearing on me. What kind of job does this guy have? Can't be anything in human relations that's for sure!

"I am the boss of one of the most powerful Empires in La Cosa Nostra." I spit out my drink. 

"Cosa Nostra!? As in the Italian-American Mafia? The Sicilian Mafia!?" Oh god! Oh god! I'm going to die! This is it! The end oh please no!  

"I didn't see anything I swear!" I yelled jumping off the stool. I swayed a bit as the shots started to kick in. He looked at me like I was crazy before shaking his head. I have to admit I've never met anyone in the mafia before and this seems like a good story! It could be my big break! No! It could also be my big coffin, my death! A higher paying job doing something I love isn't worth my life! Is it? NO! But think about the attention if this goes through! No way, I'll be killed before I count to ten, no Mafia leader wants an article written on him. Unless it increases his power! Omg I don't fricken know!!! I probably won't even remember this in the morning!

"Are you alright Janice?" He asked taking in my estranged expression. 

"Yah...I uh really gotta pee!" I said and then stood there for about a minute while he stared awkwardly at me.

"Well don't you know where the restrooms are?" He asked finally, looking a bit...amused? 

"Huh?" I said getting lost in those cold grey eyes. The man in front of me is the most powerful in the world and he's-he's talking to me! I think I'm gonna faint!  And that my friends, is exactly what I did. Yep, I, Mia Harding, committed the most shameful of things and did something completely cliche, the most cliche thing a girl could do in a situation like this, I blacked out! Though it had nothing to do with the situation and more to do with the fact that I had 7 shots while we were talking and half a bottle of slightly watered down vodka that I shared with Janice prior to getting here. I wasn't drunk just a little wobbly. Kind of.

5 hours later

  Yup I know what your thinking...big bad mafia man took me to his house and we fell in love. I learned he wasn't so cold hearted and he gave me lots of gifts and we lived happily ever after.  

"Hey! Hey kid wake up we gotta clean this place!" I wake up looking into the eyes of the...bartender? Yeah so the whole love thing, that didn't happen. Instead I woke up on the hard floor of an empty club staring up at a bartender with some serious acne problems and..wait did he just touch me? Okay annnd I'm done! Did I mention this was a bad part of town? Right well walking home the only thing I could remember after Janice left was a pair of cold grey eyes.

5 years later

"Hey Mia?" 

"Yeah?" I said turning to Janice who was now happily married with two kids. Yep who would've thought the slut would settle down before me!

"Some guy came to my house the other day claiming he knew me!" 

"What for real?!" I laughed, putting down my steaming Starbucks coffee.

"Yeah said his name was Even... he had blackish hair and-and these really weird cold grey eyes."  I froze in my seat.

"W-What did he want?"

"Said he was looking for love and ready to try it...and the weirdest thing ever was he said he couldn't stop thinking about well..me from that club we went to 5 years ago!" 

"What!" I laughed a little to loud. "That's crazy..must of been one of those guys you slept with or something."

"Yah or something," She said resting her chin on her hand. "You wanna go to the mall...Brody's on kid duty today!"

"Sure!" I replied my mind still on those cold grey eyes. 

The End! Yah, I guess it's not a very satisfying end and a part II is probably in order...we'll see.
