Author's Notes: This contains SLASH! Relationship between two men and if you don't things like that please hit the back button and go no further. This plot bunny hid and bit before I could get rid of it. This is a prequel to my drabble entitled "Blue Meets Evil On The Beach!" Just one possible explanation for the tale of how Chad Lee and Ryan Mitchell might have became a couple. Enjoy and please leave a review. Pern. Now onto the tale…
Chapter One – First Meeting"God what a boring day!" Chad Lee thought as he peeled his wetsuit off and changed into street clothes after his shift at the Mariner Bay Aquarium. "The place was completely dead today and I need a beer!"
"Hey Chad!" Samantha, a fellow co-worker yelled through the closed door of the men's locker room. "A bunch of us are headed over to a new club just outside of Mariner Bay called 'Infusion' wanna come along?"
"Sure, Sami." Chad called back as he stepped into his tight black jeans. He slid a royal blue wife beater over his head, tucked the tail into his jeans, zipped and snapped his jeans across his trim hips, and then slipped a dark midnight blue short sleeved dress shirt over the wife beater; leaving it unbuttoned. He combed his dark damp hair into his usual style. Chad closed and locked his locker and then sauntered out the door and joined the five or six of his female co-workers that were going.
"You want to ride with one of us, gorgeous?" Sami asked with a suggestive smile gracing her pretty face.
"Nah, but thanks for the offer, Sami." Chad replied with a small smile. The teasing between the two had been going on for the last six months; but they were friends and Chad really wasn't looking to get hooked up with a co-worker. "I'll drive myself. I've got the day off tomorrow and I don't want to leave my truck here all night."
"Not a problem, Chad." Sam replied with an understanding smile. "You can follow us. We're driving in my SUV."
"Okay. I'll follow you." Chad said as he left the women and strolled over to his vehicle that was parked toward the other side of the employee parking lot.
"Sami!" One of the women hissed as they went toward Sami's large Ford Excursion. "You didn't tell Chad that club we're going to is for gay men and women. Why not?"
"Suffice to say that I owe Chad for turning me down one to many times, Veronica." Sami replied with a smile that was somewhere between impish and anger. "I've been making passes at him for the last six months and he acts like I don't even exist. This is my way of paying him back."
"You are such a bitch, Sami." Debbie said with a teasing tone of voice. "You're going to drag the best looking guy we work with into a gay club just because he won't date you. Hell he won't date anyone he works with. You might piss him off, Sami. He is your immediate boss. What happens if he decides to take his anger out on you at work?"
"Not likely." Samantha said with a frown. "He's so damned straight-laced about almost everything that I just want to see his face when the guys at Infusion start hitting on him. He'll probably blush and run out the door screaming in terror."
The women had a good laugh as they climbed into Samantha's vehicle and pulled away from the parking space with Chad's black Dodge Ram pickup truck following a safe distance behind.
The drive to the club was uneventful and since Mariner Bay wasn't that big it took only about twenty minutes to get from the Aquarium to the club, Infusion, just about three miles outside of the city. Had any of the women in the SUV in front of Chad's truck taken the time to look back as they pulled into the parking lot, they would have seen a huge smile of delight covering Chad's handsome, chiseled, Asian features.
"Oh man!" Chad thought as he parked his truck next to the SUV that contained his female co-workers. "I can't believe I haven't found this place before now. SHIT! I wish they'd have told me that this was a gay bar. I'd have ran home and gotten my leathers and bike instead. Oh well, can ditch the shirt in the truck. Might find someone I want to make an impression on in there." He suited his thoughts to actions and before climbing from his truck he shed the midnight blue button-up shirt and uncaringly tossed it over the seat. He took a few seconds to adjust his hair and then climbed out with a small smile on his face. "Hey gals." Chad said with a teasing tone of voice. "Ready to go in and see if we can find any companionship for the night?"
"I'll be your nightly companion anytime, handsome." Sami said a smoky tone of voice; however the leer on her face that did nothing for her looks; nor did it make her look seductive at all.
"Sorry Sami." Chad said with a smile. "Have to say, for the umpteenth time, that you're just not my type. Besides, I make it a habit not to date co-workers; especially co-workers that I'm their supervisor."
Chad walked away from the completely stunned group of women and up to the entrance of the club. He pulled his wallet out and provided his drivers license and the money for the cover charge to the bouncer at the door. The women had finally recovered from their shock over what had been said to Sami and joined him. They each paid their cover and had their licenses checked before entering the dimly lit, slightly smoky interior of the club.
Chad strolled over to a large table that gave a good view of the entire club while also allowing him to be seen as well. He pulled out his chair and sat. Seconds after the ladies had joined him; a very muscular and handsome man approached the table to take their drink orders.
They placed their orders and the women were completely in shock as they watched their boss look over the men in the place with a growing smile starting to appear on his chiseled features. "Thanks for telling me about this place, guys." Chad said with a tone of delight showing in his voice. "I was beginning to think Mariner Bar was the boondocks."
"Huh?" Veronica said with a grunt of surprise as their drinks were placed on the table and uncharacteristically Chad paid for the bill.
"First round is on me." Chad said with a bright smile of delight as he paid the waiter without looking at his now completely astonished co-workers. "My treat for brining me here tonight. This is just what I needed."
On the other side of the club a lone figure sat in a shrouded booth. His eyes roamed over the men of the club with abandon. He'd been ready to leave and go back to the underground half-reality that had been his home for years when he saw Chad and his co-workers enter the club. "He's the one! I will have him!" The man thought and yet he sat and watched as the Asian featured well-built man sat easily in the chair. He watched the man's dark eyes twinkle with delight as other males approached and were sent away with a few words yet none seemed to take offense at the obvious denials they were receiving. After about a half an hour of watching his "prey" as he'd come to think of the lone man at the table with six other women.
"Would you care to dance?" The tall, muscular, light brown haired, and brown eyed man asked in a smoky and lust filled voice once he'd gotten to the table where Chad was seated enjoying the music and the attention.
"Yes, I think I would." Chad said with a smile as he placed his beer on the table behind him and rose lithely from his chair.
The girls at the table almost fell out of their chairs in shock as their co-worker and in some cases, boss, was led onto the dance floor by the handsome man that had just approached the table. None of the women were prepared when as if by magic the band changed to a slow sensuous old song by the Bay City Rollers entitled "The Way I Feel Tonight". The further got complete shocks when Chad melted into the large man and the two swayed together on the dance floor talking quietly.
"You've never been here before." The larger man said with a still smoky and now sultry tone of voice. "I would have seen you had you been. My name's Ryan, Ryan Mitchell."
"First time here, Ryan." Chad replied and relished the slow, close dance with this man. It felt right to him to be in this man's arms and he was never one to against a feeling; especially one like this. "My name's Chad, Chad Lee."
"I want you, Chad Lee." Ryan said with a low passion filled voice as he pulled the smaller man closer to him and they could both feel the desire Ryan was displaying for Chad.
"Then let's get the hell out of here, now." Chad said with a grin as he stepped away and surprised the taller man with his strength as he pulled him from the dance floor and toward the door to the club. They passed the table where Chad's stunned co-worker sat with expressions that contained varying degrees of shock, surprise, and in a few cases huge smiles of delight.
"Thanks for telling me about this place, gals." Chad said with a smile of delight covering his very handsome face. "I'll see you at work day after tomorrow. Don't stay too late tonight. Most of you are on the schedule for tomorrow."
Chad and the tall, good looking, well built man left the table before any of them could comment on Chad's words. The only thing they overheard was Chad asking the man, "You're place or mine, Ryan?"
