I just need to relax, I told myself. So that's the plan. Tonight would be party time. Clubbing time… Now me being Mai and all I could get in without a problem. I guess being Mai is actually good for something… even though being Human would be my first choice. But considering I don't really have much of a choice for that matter, dancing and flirting will hopefully help me forget. Tonight I get the night off from training and I'm gonna sneak away from my Mai protectors… I'm not even going with Amy or Paul. This is just strictly a 'me' thing.
The Club I'm heading too is called 'The Beat' and its supposed to be something crazy… Which is what I need tonight. The bad part is that I can't kiss… anyone. The whole 'they will die' thing going on… So I'm just strictly stuck to flirting… which is ok with me… I guess.
Getting in was very easy… getting past the whole I.D. thing was a breeze. The hard part was getting past Alek. Which involved making him stand outside of the girls bathroom at school leaving a sink on and swiftly sneaking out a window. Ha… I'm surprised it worked. But it did…
And now I'm dancing… The beat was pulse intensifying which gave me so much adrenaline that I felt like I conquer the world. The strobe lights and dancing guys around me just icing on the cake. I had taken a break and decided to get a margarita. Something a little fancy was just right for that moment.
I finished up and I heard Britney Spear's song I wanna go come on. Normally I wouldn't care if that song came on. But me being a little buzzed I was in love with it. Shame on me! Do do do do, Do do do do. To need release! I then heard a british accent whisper in my ear.
"Want to dance, Luv?" I smile came onto my face. Guys had been asking my to dance all night… but this one had to be the best.
"Sure" I said turning around to see the gentleman offering a dance. I turned around to a face that didn't look so thrilled… my heart stopped. "Hey Alek…" I tried to smile and play my charm… Knowing that it probably wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot.
"What the hell were you thinking? I've been searching for you all night!" he started he kept his voice low but demanding, knowing that even in the blaring music I could hear him. "You still don't have any idea how much all of your lives mean don't you? You are the Uniter, Chloe. You have a duty; therefore you have to be protected! We gave you a night off, but that doesn't mean you can go off by yourself! If you wanted to go to a club you could've let somebody know…" He started to clam down slightly letting his cockiness flow out into his words. "And if you wanted somebody to grind on you, all you had to do was ask." His usual smirk slowly craved back on his face and he grabbed my hand and pulled me out to the dance for, and I started to dance with Alek Petrov.
As much as I hated to admit it… he could dance… Like really. He almost gave me a run for money. But I wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction though. I threw my arms up in the air and gave it everything I got. Swaying to the beat and singing the words… just relaxing is fun. The most fun I had in forever. I didn't know that Alek could have been fun… During training he was always so arrogant and bigheaded that it drove me crazy.
We were on our way to the bar again because we both gotten thirsty and needed a break I tripped and lost my balance. While I was in mid air Alek caught me and pulled me up with his strong, assured arms and I gazed into his brown eyes as he gazed into my green ones, and I felt a certain unexpected spark.
