Chapter 2

RPOV

As we walk across the road approaching the club, I noticed we aren't heading to the back of the line but straight towards 2 good-looking bouncers.

Mia nods towards the bouncers "The red head on the right is Mason; Jill so has a thing for him and what's so cute is that he likes her too. He would let her into the club if she came but her mom won't let her come out with us. You need to help us drag her out here and soon!"

I put on my man-eater smile as we approached the guys who were already eyeing us from head to toe.
The dark haired bouncer on the left however, was quick to move his gaze back to Mia and his eyes look star struck. "And the dark haired one is?" I began.

Mia giggled and leaned closer to whisper quietly "That's…um, well that's Eddie…he is… well". Mason interrupted with a cheeky smile.
"Mia, good to see you tonight! Up for another late one?"
Mason leaned forward and gave Mia a friendly hug "And are you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Eddie, Mason, this is Rose. She is new in town and I'm showing her how we party in these parts. Will you guys be hanging around after your shift?"

Mia beamed at Eddie…wait; did Mia just try a killer smile on for Eddie? Ok, these two need to get it together.
Mason elbowed Eddie and broke the love struck gaze as Eddie managed to find his words "Ah yeah, we will see you lovely ladies later on."
Yep, that was definitely directed at Mia and as Mia came back to her bubbly self, we made our way into the club.

"Oh my god Mia, you like Eddie?" This was more of a statement than a question.
Mia blushed "Well, I guess, its just that he is so nice, he's sweet, he makes me laugh, he's thoughtful." I interrupted her ramblings "and cute as all hell!"
Mia giggled "yeah and that, but I don't think he thinks of me in that way."
"Wait, what…Mia…didn't you see what just happened?" Mia was looking around the club and when she didn't find who she was looking for, she dragged us over to some spare seats at the bar.

I took a seat and grabbed her arm to get her attention.
"Mia, Eddie really likes you. He couldn't keep his eyes off you, I saw it, Mason saw it and hell even blind Freddy could have seen it."

Mia looked around for the bartender then back at me "Rose, guys fall at your feet when you walk into the room" I couldn't deny that I had great genes and all the right curves for my short height and guys did happen to notice me, usually for longer than usual.

"You made some of the guys in homeroom speechless when you said hi to them, and these are guys most teachers can't get to shut up for five minutes." Mia replied.
"Mia, if I remember rightly, you dared me to flirt with them to prove a point to Sydney… it was fun though." Its not like I had a lot of experience with guys but with my looks and my confidence, it always brought another kind of reputation, not that I minded, cause I have never have been one to follow the rules.

"And that's how I know he likes you, his eyes lit up when he saw you and he couldn't stop checking you out. I know how guys are, they aren't all players but they all like to play the game. Girls like to be chased, guys enjoy the adventure of the chase…and Mia, we have some work to do!" I smiled and winked at Mia at the idea of getting these 2 shy birds together.
The sound of 2 glasses being dropped on the bar in front of us brought us both back to the club and the drinks at hand.

Directly in front of me stood a tall, very handsome guy with amazing green eyes and messy blonde hair. Every hair seemed like it was just in the right place, his gaze like emeralds, took in every inch of me.
He poured 2 shot glasses full of a clear liquid in front of us and spoke up over the music "So you got my species figured out, little genius?"
I returned his sexy smile with a teasing one of my own, "Every girl knows the rules; I just know how to bend them the right way."
Mia rolled her eyes and took her shot. I picked up my shot and questioned Mia with a look.
"Its just plain vodka! …Oh yeah, Adrian, Rose…. Rose, this is Adrian."
I took my shot from in front of me, slammed it back then placed it back on the bar.

"It's a pleasure, Adrian"

Adrian reached for my hand as placed a gentle kiss on the back before releasing both my eyes and my hand from his warm ones, and began pouring another shot.
"On the house for a beautiful rule breaker." he turned to Mia "and her friend".
Mia scoffed at his reference and slammed back the second shot "Well thanks Adrian, hey have you seen Lissa? She is supposed to meet me here tonight."
I took the second shot and as Adrian collected the glasses, he nodded and looked slightly over our right shoulders. "Lissa and Christian finally got it together and I doubt that anyone has been able to break them apart all evening. Wow, do those guys ever come up for air?"

Adrian walked away to serve another customer so Mia and I turned towards the booth against the wall; in the direction Adrian had pointed us.
There sat a girl with long blonde hair entangled with a black haired boy, they seemed lost in their own little world, breaking away from each other only to look deep into each other's eyes. Their gaze held each other even more closely, if that were even possible, speaking the chapters of unsaid emotions, before returning to the battle of tongues and closeness.

I caught a glimpse of his striking ice blue eyes as he looked at his girlfriend with the happiest and cheesiest of grins one could ever let shine, his eyes radiated desire, want and lust but his smile showed chapters of happiness and peace, as if she was his whole world.

This was definitely not a 'drunk kiss at the club' thing and I was already happy for the cute couple before I had even met them.
Everyone wanted to be looked at like they are the last missing piece of the other person's jigsaw puzzle, making them complete.
Next to the couple sat an older guy, tall, handsome with neat light brown hair. His face serious as he moved his gaze around the club, not looking for anyone in particular, more like assessing the environment around him. Something told me he was not here for the music.
I looked over to his friend and my breath caught…and his eyes directly met mine!

He had the most beautiful eyes, like large pools of melted chocolate that you could slowly and sensually be swallowed whole into. Amazing dark brown hair that sat softly draped around the contours of his face, hair so soft that would have moved softly in the breeze, that I imagined running my hands through.
His large muscular hands held a glass in one hand and a fist clenched in the other. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt that showed off his ripped muscular arms, I could tell he worked out. I wanted to work my hands up his arms, caress his shoulders, moving down slowly down the front of his shirt, unfastening one button at a time to reveal the hidden sculptured chest and abs I was sure was hidden beneath that shirt.

I wanted to trail soft kisses down his stomach to places beyond, to make him moan, to make him mine…
I was broken out of my dreamy daze by a cough coming from behind me; suddenly I realized my dark haired god was not directing his gaze at me but somewhere behind me. His face became serious, but for a second I thought I saw a glint of anger, or intense rage, he then corrected a stern serious mask that mirrored his friend beside him.

I felt stupid for thinking my silly schoolgirl thoughts, of getting lost in a dream of this man holding me like I was his anchor to the earth. Thoughts of being free but safe in his arms, and in the bliss of love because in reality it was not that easy and we were never safe. Something I knew very well.
I heard someone cough for a second time so I turned back to Mia and found a young blonde guy had wedged himself in between the two of us.
"Now what are two pretty young ladies such as yourselves doing at a club alone?"

I was about to speak up and tell this guy where to go when he produced 2 drinks and placed them on the bar. "You ladies look like you could do with a drink and I could never let such beauty go without!"

Something felt off about this guy, like I should be worried or react differently. Every kid was taught not to take things from strangers, but it was a club, admittedly this guy was good looking but nothing to fall over…and it was my birthday, this was what they did at clubs.

So I shrugged my shoulders and took the drink. Mia and I clinked our glasses and…

"What the Hell?" I screamed. Some drunken fool had knocked into me spilling my drink all over the bar. As I stood up to confront the idiot, yelling "Buddy, you owe me a drink!" but all I saw was the dark chocolate brown eyes that had met mine just minutes earlier, these beautiful eyes were now just inches from mine.
