Wild nights: One off short story. Five chapters altogether.

Chapter One:


Roxie walked into the bar. She really could have done without being here she'd been at work all day and she wanted a long bath and then bed. She yawned and smothered it with her hand.

Threading herself through the crowds she made her way to the bar.

She smiled at the bartender every Wednesday like clockwork he was there working the late shift.

He smiled as he wandered over, 'Let me guess a bottle of Smirnoff?' She laughed.

'I really should go somewhere else you know me too well.' He laughed. He was quite good looking with dark hair and really brown eyes. Some nights before her friends got there she would talk to him just about things in general.

He was a good listener but Roxie guessed that's what he got paid for. 'Thanks Josh.'

She smiled again as she sat on a bar stool. 'No problem honey!' She smiled at him.

Sometimes Josh got a bit too much. I mean he was attractive and she did like him but he really sometimes he looked at her like as if she was a piece of meat. It felt as though he watched her with hunger in his eyes. She turned away and waited for her friend to arrive.

The liquid soon began racing through her bloodstream. She noticed her friend Gill meandering towards her and smiled broadly. 'Wow some seriously hot tottie in here tonight.'

Gill said as she got closer. 'So you seen anyone worth going home with tonight?'

Roxie tutted, 'Gill you've been in here for five minutes and already you've noticed more men than I have.'

Gill threw back her head and laughed. Roxie was always a bit jealous of Gill's long brunette hair and big brown eyes. She knew she was attractive but for some reason all the men seemed to fall for Gill's charm.

She had brown shoulder length hair and big blue eyes. Everyone always said 'Oh my God are your eyelashes real?' And when she confirmed they were they were always shocked. She had to admit that her eyes were her best feature.

Roxie took another look across the bar while Gill was ordering her drink. Her eyes instantly stayed on the face of a guy standing at the bar. He was tall with brown spiky hair and big green eyes. He saw her and she smiled.

She felt herself flush and her pulse began to quicken. He grinned again.

'Damn hun he's hot.' Gill whispered, 'Get in there girl before someone else does.'

She pushed Roxie towards him. 'Hey!' His voice was just beautiful and she felt herself smile.

'Hey I'm Roxie. I've not seen you in here before.' He shook his head, 'I'm just passing through. My name's Dean. Nice to meet you Roxie' She smiled again.

'So your here because of work I think?' She said as they were pushed into one another by a jostling customer.

She was pushed into his broad chest and felt his muscles beneath his green shirt. She looked up into his big green eyes and felt his hand snake slowly around her waist and pull her closer.

She wasn't afraid Dean seemed a nice guy not all straight into the question of will you come back home with me? She liked that.

He flirted outrageously but it was pleasant and none invasive. She felt herself responding and enjoying herself.

Dean's cell rang and he took the call. While Dean was talking away she looked around the bar.

Gill had snagged herself some guy, 'What a shocker!' Roxie thought as she looked away.

She felt eyes watching her and she turned and was instantly staring into Josh's big brown eyes. He looked at her and smiled.

It wasn't a pleasant smile and Roxie felt her skin begin to crawl with fear.

She looked away and Dean whispered, 'Rox you ok?' She nodded and smiled at him to show she wasn't scared. 'I'm sorry sweetheart but I've got to be somewhere. Can I get your number?'

As they parted Dean leant towards her and kissed her slowly. Their tongues flicked together and as they pulled away he said, 'I'm sorry I've got to go but I'd love to meet up and pick up where we left off.'

She smiled and played with her hair. 'I'd love to Dean.'

He left the bar and she already missed his company. Gill moved towards her and said, 'Damn girl he was fine!'

She chuckled, 'So when you seeing him again?' Gill asked as she ordered two more drinks.

As they left the bar Gill said, 'Girl you should just phone him and invite yourself over. It's about time you got laid. I mean tonight you've been totally different you love men's company and your both consenting adults. It's natural.'

As Roxie dropped Gill off at her apartment she promised she'd call Dean back.

As she walked alone down the streets towards her home her cell rang. She answered it and it was Dean, 'Hey I went back to the bar and you'd left.'

She said she wasn't sure if he'd turn up again so she'd gone. Dean laughed, 'Well you want me to meet you somewhere?'

She gave him her address. She felt like she was walking on air as she walked towards her apartment. Dean was a guy she barely knew but somehow at this precise moment she didn't care.

As she pulled her key from her bag she heard the bushes rustle but just assumed it was a cat or something until a hand grabbed her from behind and the world slowly lost focus.
