Feedback: Please and be honest. the hell am I doing here, Lexi though to herself. She looked around seeing couples enjoying themselves either on the dance floor or at their tables. Music was blasting throughout the bar. Waitress' serving drinks everywhere she looked.
"Are you having any fun yet?" Tina, her best friend since high school asked, waving down a waitress.
"Loads," Lexi drawled, "can we leave yet?"
"Hell no!" Tina replied finally getting the attention of the bartender, "One Jack and Coke and, what do you want?"
"Coke," Lexi said looking around the bar.
"Make it two honey," Tina winked at the bartender, "I took you out so you can forget about the bastard."
"Easy for you to say," Lexi muttered, taking a long drink, "you weren't engaged to him."
"I know it hurts, but at least you found out what a jerk he was before you married him." Tina said scanning the crowd for any hot guy for her best friend, "Oh shit."
"What? What's the matter?" Lexi asked looking around. Her gaze stopped when she saw him. Jim, the man she was to marry. The jerk who told her two weeks before the wedding he was leaving her for another woman. He was half way across the bar, arm wrapped around a woman. "A blonde, it had to be a freaking blonde." Lexi cried, "Bartender, double shot of Jack and keep them coming until I say stop or I pass out."
"Lexi, if I knew he'd be here I..." Tina started to apologize.
"I know." Lexi said downing another shot, "Suddenly, I feel like dancing."
Tina watched as Lexi tossed the shot glass down onto the bar and made her way towards the dance floor. Tina laughed and followed. Lexi made her way close to the middle of the dance floor. She closed her eyes and let her body flow with the music. She had no problem dancing in high-heeled boots. Her hips gyrated to the music.
He was watching her from the second floor. He noticed her as soon as she walked into the nightclub. He couldn't see the color of her eyes, but he could see she was sad. He also could tell from her attitude that the nightclub was not normally her thing. She kept her guard up, freezing out the unwanted attention from men, staying away from alcohol. Something within the last ten minutes changed that. He watched her down a couple shots before heading out onto the dance floor. Something told him that change had something to do with the man and the blonde watching her on the dance floor.
He watched her body move to the music, not missing a beat. Her leather skirt would ride up a little on her as she moved, showing her thighs. Every once in a while she would look over to the man, staring at him as to show him what he was missing. The blonde woman whispered something into the man's ear and walked towards the bathrooms. As soon as she was out his sight, he made his move.
Lexi was moving her body hard to the music. She was determined to start enjoying herself. So if Jim got to see her dancing this way all the better, she smiled to herself. She closed her eyes again and lost herself to the music. She quickly opened her eyes when she felt and arm close around her waist and pulled her close.
"Jim, what are you doing?" Lexi struggled to move away from him.
"Taking you up on your invitation," he growled, grinding his hips to hers.
"Let me go!" she demanded, "What would your new girlfriend think?"
Lexi franticly looked around for Tina. She desperately wanted to get away from him. As she struggled against Jim, she looked around for help. She felt a hand wrap around her waist and pulled her away from Jim.
"What the hell?" Jim yelled looking at the man who pulled Lexi away, "She's with me."
"Not anymore," the stranger said, pulling Lexi tighter to his body. "Go back to your other woman."
"I'm not leaving her here with you." Jim growled as he watched the stranger trace a finger along Lexi's neck.
"That's not your choice to make." the stranger replied turning Lexi to face him, "Would you like to dance with me or him?"
Lexi looked from Jim and then to the stranger. Lexi looked him over and took the stranger's hand. "I would love to dance with you," she smiled.
"Lexi," Jim protested.
"Go back to your blonde Jim." Lexi spat as she followed her new dance partner across the dance floor.
He stopped in the middle of the dance floor and pulled her close. Lexi looked up and saw that he had dark brown eyes that she could swear were black. She could get lost staring into them.
"Thank you," Lexi sighed slowly moving with him, "I'm Lexi."
"Frank," he said lifting her hand, kissing it, "Was he an ex-boyfriend?"
"I'd rather not talk about Jim if that's okay." Lexi said leaning her head against Frank's chest.
"It seems like he doesn't want to give you up to me." Frank said watching the man stare daggers at them.
"Jim wants his cake and eat it too," Lexi muttered not wanting Jim's presence to ruin the dance.
"Why don't we give Jim the impression that he doesn't matter?" Frank suggested, cupping her face in his hands.
"What do you mean?" Lexi asked staring into those dark brown eyes. She watched as his face inched closer to hers and felt his lips on hers.
At first it was a gentle touch, then Lexi felt his tongue tease her lips. He gently nibbled on her bottom lip until he was able to slide his tongue into her mouth. He explored her mouth, his tongue mating with hers. Frank pulled Lexi closer. She could feel him getting hard. Lexi pulled her head back and she could see the passion in his eyes.
Frank once again cupped Lexi's face and gently kissed her lips. He looked her in the eyes, "Leave with me?" he asked. Lexi looked around and saw the anger in Jim's face. She scanned the crowd for Tina, but couldn't see her. "Leave with me?" he asked again. Lexi stared into his eyes and nodded her head in agreement.
Frank took Lexi's hand and led her towards the exit. Outside the night air gave Lexi the chills. Frank could see the goose bumps on her arms. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. He gave the valet his ticket and they waited. He pulled her close once again and kissed her hard. He broke off the kiss when he heard the valet pull up. Lexi turned to see the valet handing Frank a helmet. A motorcycle.
"You need to wear this." Frank smiled as he put the helmet on her head, "Don't worry, just climb on behind me and wrap your arms around me."
"I trust you." she smiled straddling the bike. Lexi wrapped her arms around his waist and held on tightly as Frank drove off.
Frank pulled up to a red light and stopped. Lexi rested her head against Frank's back and sighed. She never felt this alive and daring. Feeling more daring, Lexi moved one hand to his thigh and moved it slowly higher. Lexi jumped when Frank grabbed her hand.
"If you don't stop now, I won't be held responsible for what happens next." he growled.
"Then let's hurry to your place." Lexi replied tracing a circle along his thigh.
Frank looked up and down the street. Satisfied no traffic was coming, he blew the red light, heading towards his building. A few minutes later he pulled into his parking garage and parked the motorcycle.
The next day
"DONOVAN!" Jake bellowed as he stormed into the warehouse.
"And good morning to you sunshine," Cody yawned handing Jake a cup of coffee.
"He's not here yet," Alex said raising her head off the table, "is he?"
"Nope, seems like Donovan's running late," Monica smirked, "What's the matter?"
"He never showed up last night," Jake complained, "he left sit in that bar for two hours before I figured out he wasn't showing up."
"Did you call his cell?" Alex asked
"He never answered it," Jake replied, "I even called his apartment and got no answer."
"Is anyone else starting to worry?" Monica asked.
"Worried about who?" Donovan asked, walking towards the coffee.
"And where the hell were you?" Jake demanded, "I waited and waited last night. Where is she?"
"Do you have a hang over?" Alex smirked.
"I was up all night, working." Donovan smiled, thinking of Lexi, "Where is who?"
"My bike!" Jake explained, "Where's my motorcycle?"
"Somebody got lucky." Cody whispered.
"It's back at my apartment. We'll get it later," Donovan smiled going up to his office. "Let's get to work."
"He' s smiling," Alex laughed, "I must be dead."
