Sorry about the confusion with this story. Some time ago, I decided to take the story down. Now I'm like, I should update it a bit. You know, read it through.. See what this story got.. Dunno. We'll see.

************************************************************** 


The heavy throbbing in my head mixed with muffled snoring were what caused me to wake up from my restless drunken sleep. I couldn't move yet. It felt like every inch I move made me nauseous. As soon I realized that I was indeed awake and the snoring wasn't coming from me, I rolled to my left side to see what creature was making that god-awful sound. Did I went to a bear hunting last night or what!?? As soon as my nausea lightens and my blurred vision sharpens I see a muscular guy with curly dark blonde hair and tattooed forearms crossed over his eyes. And then it hits me.. All the events and people from last night roll in my mind.

Flashback  to a previous night

I stood in front of the mirror, staring my reflection. It was weird to be so far away from home, here in Las Vegas, where had we travelled to celebrate my friend Katherines final days as a single woman. So exciting and frightening at the same time. And to add to the feeling, the dress Katherine had bought us all, was little too much for me. It was a little short body cropping cream coloured dress with little details on in and spaghetti straps going to the back. It hugged my curves at the right spot. At that moment I was glad that I had the routine to workout. I chose white classical pointed toe stilettos to match the dress. I didn't chose any special jewelry for that evening, I just left on whatever was always on me- my earlobes and left tragus pierced with some simple piercing jewelry, silver necklace with my name "Anna" on it and a silver wristwatch. I took some of my wristbands and such things off, just to keep my attire simple and classy, with the pinch of sexy (make it a double-triple). I let loose my brown hair with blonde highlights so they reach below my breasts. I keep my make-up simple- never was and never will be the type of girl who spends hours in front of the mirror. Powder, black eyeliner, mascara and a lip balm was all I needed. As I was standing there judging my reflection at my room, Katherine barged in

"Yaaaaay, you're ready!!! Woah! Anna..", she said staring me.

"Wha-at?!" I asked, rolling my eyes knowing exactly what she meant by that, but must she always make a big number of it. Before she could say anything I added "Oh come on, lets get this party started!"

The night was wild and crazy. The limo picked us from the hotel and drove us to one fancy night club. We danced and laughed al ot. Some men tried to make their moves but we weren't into them, were there just to have fun. Actually, I was surprised that I had so much fun in the club, I'm more of a pub and karaoke kind of girl. But Katherine's wish is my command, at least in this case, as it was her girls night.

After few hours of dancing and drinking, some of us decided that it was enough of all of this. So we left the club, by foot because we had decided that the others could take the limo back to the hotel when they leave. The night air was sweet and warm, full of life. I've always loved City by night, but Las Vegas was something else. I really enjoyed the moment and for a second I closed my eyes and took a deep breath but my breath was cut short as I walked to someone and grabbed his shoulders for a support. His strong arms wrapped around my waist and stopped me from falling to the ground. For a second the time froze. I could only look at his grey-ish eyes and gasp a breath. It seemed like forever and all the noise around me disappeared. I was brought back by the laughter of my friend Lily and some guys next to the guy who was holding me. In sudden awkwardness I stood on my own feet and started to laugh.

"Woah there! Are you okay?" the saviour asked.

"Yeah, thanks for not letting me fall to the ground" I said chuckling.

"Anytime, sweetness." he purred, "I'm Jai, by the way." he seemed compelled to introduce himself and held his hand out for greeting.

I gave my hand for a shake and stared him in his eyes "Anna..."

"And I'm Lily!" said my friend who had already got acquainted with the other guys and interrupted our staring. I shook myself out of his stare and smiled to Lily. I hadn't realized that we were still holding our hands in greeting when Jai freed his hand to greet Lily. That was awkward.

As we all walked to unknown direction and chatting about the City and what were the reasons for our stay someone suggested we could hit to the karaoke bar. About a minute of discussing it  with Lily, meaning her making me eyes to go along, we agreed because we weren't tired, we had left the club just because there's only a little bit of clubbing one could stand.

"Why the hell not!" me and Lily said all at once sounding excited.

"That's the spirit!" Jai clapped his palms together, seemingly glad about our decision.

When the right karaoke pub was located after about 5 minutes of walking we headed inside, Jai placing his hand on the small of my back and the other hand pointing the direction leading me inside saying "Ladies..." His warm hand on my back, his fingertips touching my bare skin, made my body tingle. In that short time I had noticed, no sensed, that there's something in this man that I found attractive. Wasn't sure what it was, but I was excited that the night gave me all the opportunities to figure it out.

We got the table in the corner and some of the guys went to the bar to order some drinks, while Lily, me, Jai and one guy sat down, Jai right next to me, Lily on the other side. Once in a while Jai was looking at me, but then looked elsewhere, making me confused and I blushed. He could see me blushing and his smirk said it.

The drinks, shots, were brought to our table and we all downed one. Lily decided to go somewhere, I assumed she was going to the restroom. While she was gone, me and Jai talked about where I'm from and such things. I was mesmerized by how he was fully concentrated on me, listening and smug smirk on. I couldn't stop thinking about why he seemed so familiar, so I said "I feel like I've seen you somewhere," staring him in his eyes, "... but I just cant figure it out.." "

"Well, maybe, I've just got one of those faces.." he responded smirking. Oh god, that smirk.

Lily came back with a sly smile on her face asking "You ready?"

"Ready for what? What the he-" I couldn't finish my sentence when Lily handed me another shot and downed hers, "Were on the stage in 3 minutes. Get up!"

"What?! LILYY! Noooo!", I yelled laughing. But she already yanked me up from my seat and we were moving towards the stage while the guys whistled and cheered.
