It had been days since Valerie had woken up that night after the opera, alone in her bedroom. Chuck had been missing – not returning her calls or texts once again.
It seemed like a usual pattern for them.
They would talk, have sweet moments, and then like the wind – he was gone.
Currently, Valerie and Allison were at a bar, having a hell of a time, forgetting everything and – everyone.
The time that she needed him, he was enjoying his time at a secret gentleman's club.
"I'm having a blast – ".
"But?", Valerie questioned downing the last sip of her martini.
"I have to go get my brother from his friend's house", she explained, "my parents are out of town".
Nodding, Valerie spoke, "I'll hang out here a little longer".
After saying their goodbyes, the seat next to her became occupied.
'Seriously, out of all these empty chairs he decides to sit next to me', she thought to herself.
She felt a pair of eyes tearing through her skin.
"Mind if I buy you another drink?", the mystery man asked.
Valerie turned to her and noticed how handsome he was.
"Thanks", she smiled, "but I don't take drink from strangers".
He chuckled, "well then ----- the name is Carter Baizen", he voiced extending his hand to her.
Valerie smirked, he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

She extended hers, "well Carter --- how about that drink?".
