The club was bubbling with music loud enough to burst even the toughest eardrums and disco balls spinning with bright colourful lights that could make anyone go blind, but combined, they added a certain charm to the ambiance.
He stood at a corner, watching people dancing freely, allowing the wild yet wonderful beats to move through their bodies. Then he noticed the girl in the short red dress. She danced alone, hands on her hips, winding her waist from side to side. She noticed him watching her, and after their staring contest lasted long enough, she cat-walked up to him.
"I'm Mekus Money," he said, in a smooth tone.
She squinted at first to check if he was truly who he claimed to be, then widened her eyes in surprise when she realised that he was indeed the talented celebrity singer, her long-time crush.
She extended her hand. "I'm Kiki."
He took it and kissed it. "Lovely name for a lovely lady."
It was an instant attraction for the two of them, and suddenly it felt as if they were the only ones in the club.
Without taking his eyes off her, he led her back to the dance floor, pulled her close to bridge the tiniest gap between them, then placed his hands around her waist, just above her bum. His touch made her shudder, she felt her legs go weak with a pleasant sensation. She immediately shut her eyes.
"Don't close your eyes. I want to keep looking into them."
She opened her light brown eyes and smiled at him, then instinctively, she placed her hands around his neck. And with their bodies pressed against each other, they slow-danced to every other song that played.
After the club, he drove her back to her home and pecked her goodbye, hoping that he would see her again. She was more than elated; finally, she got the man of her dreams, though so easily, it felt like a dream.
With a wide smile plastered on her face, she entered her apartment, and then her bedroom where she saw an envelope from her boss on her desk. She flipped it around and tore into it to know what it contained.
She pulled out the brief, and taking one look at it, she immediately dropped it, distraught, as the photo of the gentle face of Mekus Money, her next target, stared back.
