My Blue

Two

So sorry for the late update. Enjoy!

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

Jason leaned back against the head rest of his seat at the head of the long table, as he watched the two men walk out of the conference room and breathed a sigh of relief. He had just signed the biggest contract ever, barely though, because the two men had been extremely difficult.

"Damn, that was one tough sale but you did it Jay, golden as always", his best friend and legal advisor, Eddie said as he too looked relieved. Infact the whole team was relieved, they all thought that they would lose the huge deal but the men came through.

"Yeah it was. But i wasn't the only one who helped convince them. You all contributed. Thank you". Jason said to the men and women who had become family in the last five years of working, or rather, eight years.

Jason had been working with most of them in a tech company that had hired him fresh out of college until the owner sold the it off. They soon found out that the new owner had no intention of continuing the company, he wanted to transform it into something else.

They were all let off their jobs and Jason decided not to delay his plans any further. That was five years ago and now he was the proud and happy owner of TechCityCorp. When his former coworkers heard of it, they applied for jobs. They all got along well and they were very good at their jobs so he hired them.

And from there they started. The company was nowhere near the ones that have existed for twenty years or more but they were gradually and successfully expanding and Jason was glad.

"Why don't we all go out to celebrate tonight, go to a club or something, it is friday so it'll be ok"? Eddie suggested. The conference room erupted with choruses of "yeah" and "that's a good idea". Jason was quiet and Eddie turned to him, "what do you say man? You coming"?

Jason started to shake his head no. He was a bomb in front of a computer screen and swift with a keyboard in his hands, he also got used to and learnt to survive while negotiating a deal. But he wouldn't survive in a bar. For one, even with how built he was, he was a lightweight. He never drank alcohol so his body never got used to it, at all. Second, he was always shy and nervous around girls especially ones that didn't work for him. It took sometime to get used to all the females in his company. Going to a bar filled with beautiful women who will only leave him flustered was not on his agenda.

"No, you guys go ahead, i'll just go home", he said as he stood and started to walk to the door. Eddie stood and ran in front of him, stopping him. "Awww, come on man, you never go out with us", then he leaned into his ear and whispered "you might even get laid, you gotta come".

Jason groaned, Eddie knew exactly why he was refusing but he still insisted. Sometimes he wondered how they were best friends, they were polar opposites. Soon everyone started insisting, saying how they had never gone out with their boss and this deal was deserving of team celebration.

Jason sighed, he knew he might regret it but he reluctantly agreed. It had been a while since he went somewhere other than his office and a food store anyway. He looked at everyone, "alright, i'm in". Everyone cheered as they got up to get their things and head out while Eddie bro hugged Jason, "you won't regret this Jay". I sure hope so.

After driving for about thirty minutes, they came to a stop in front of a club with an elegant sign saying ' passione'. They all got out from their different cars and gathered together.

One of them, a guy named Theo looked at the club then turned to Eddie, "wow, man, how did you find this place. It looks really cool, i wonder what the inside will look like". Everyone nodded in return. Eddie grinned proudly, "guys this is a new club, it just opened up last month and you see those initials above the name", he pointed at the white letters 'SG', "they say those are the initials of the owner, he owns several clubs around the world and all have the same initials".

After they had all admired the outside, they went inside, allowed by the bouncers. Jason looked around and he gave the owner credit, the place was really nice. Dim blinking lights casted a beautiful look, there were booths and tables with chairs occupying two walls, the bar was big and round in front of the third wall, and there were stairs leading to the VIP bar, the private rooms and the DJ's booth. On the fourth wall, was a passage leading to the restrooms and the remaining space was used as the dance floor. The club didn't look seedy at all, he was already unwinding by just the sights.

"What do you think"? Eddie asked him as they made their way to the bar. Jason nodded, "its okay, really okay".
"See, told you. Come on let's head to the bar".

Once they got there, "two shots of tequila", Jason's eyes grew wide as he stared at the drinks in front of him, "tequila"? Eddie just smirked, "have some fun man, you deserve it". He thought about it and decided 'oh what the hell', and that was the start of the drinking spree.

Sometime later...

Jason was the only one at the bar, the others had gone to dance. He was drunk and his bladder was begging for relief, so he made his way through the sea of dancers. When he was close to the stairs, he mistakenly bumped into someone. He looked up and met the most beautiful and coldest pair of blue-grey eyes, he couldn't stop staring even though the owner of those eyes was glaring at him. If he wasn't drunk, he would have probably looked down, stuttered an apology and went on his way.

He was about to say sorry when his bladder reminded him of where he was going but before he could move, two burly men grabbed his two arms. Just as he was about to recover from the shock of that, a man with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped in front him with a glare almost as strong as 'blue-grey'. The man crossed his arms and looked him over, "who are you"?

Jason blinked once, twice, three times, "uh...what"? The 'blondie' in front of him pinched the bridge of his nose, "i said, who are you"?
"Oh..um...can they let go first", the man shook his head no, "ok then. My name's Jason and i really need to use the bathroom right now. Um...miss blue-grey", he peeked at her, "sorry for hitting you".

The three men turned to look at the woman after his apology, he reckoned they were waiting for her to say something. She stepped in front of him; the glare had somewhat reduced but the coldness and lack of emotions were still very obvious in her eyes.

"Next time watch where you're going", she told him, to the men she said, "let him go and let's go". He was released immediately and he watched as they headed up the stairs. As he walked to the bathroom, he couldn't help but feel the eyes on him and he knew who they belonged to. Someone whose voice he was sure he wanted to hear again.
