"I wonder if everyone is going to show up for the club opening?" Selina said as she and Dorian got ready for it, putting on their funkiest clothes. "I mean, when I think of all the people I invited…Malachai's coven children and the people they're with, him and Helene, Kai and Victoria, Elijah and Amy…there are just so many I can't even keep track of them all."
"They should all be there," Dorian told her as he put on his pants. He still had to put on a shirt. "If they don't come, they're going to miss out on a very good time."
Selina grinned and grabbed him by the waistband of his pants, even though she knew that giving in to her urges would probably make them late. "Better than the time we're about to have now?" She chuckled. "Then she whispered in his ear before giving it a nibble, "I just need fifteen minutes, please? We can do that, right?"
"No, they won't have as much fun as we're about to have now," Dorian smiled and kissed her. "Fifteen minutes is doable. We're still on the same page about wanting to have kids, right?"
"Of course," Selina nodded. "But I have to warn you that I've been on pills to stop me from being pregnant for a while now so it might take some time for it to actually happen."
"That's all right," he grinned, kissing her stomach as he slipped off her panties. "Practice makes perfect, doesn't it?"
"I think that's a thing," Selina nodded. "Plus, it's fun!"
"Oh, it sure is," Dorian grinned, peeling off her snug black leather dress that was covered with little white lights to give her some illumination in the mostly dark club, and sliding off her black pantyhose before unzipping his pants, helping her onto the bed and parting her legs, then gently and slowly pleasuring her with his tongue.
Selina shut her eyes, moaning with pleasure, soon feeling weight beside her as he paused and got in bed with her and felt his finger sliding in and out of her. Her breath began to pick up and she felt her whole body become warm. Then, his lips were on her stomach and she finally opened her eyes and saw him pause kissing her to grin at her wickedly, his dark eyes twinkling.
"You're trying to kill me, aren't you?" She asked. "Just teasing me like this for so long."
"Oh, well, I don't mean to," he informed her as he moved his finger and captured her lips with his as she threw her arms around his neck and he buried himself inside her, pushing into her over and over again as he played with her dark hair.
After they climaxed, they collapsed together in heap on the bed and dozed off, and when they woke again, Dorian got a good look at the clock and hopped off the bed, shaking Selina awake and throwing her clothes at her. "Looks like we had a little too much fun," he said with a grin. "We're late for the opening."
"You don't seem too distressed about that," Selina observed as she looked around for her underwear, dress, hose, and shoes. When she couldn't find her underwear, she just shrugged it off and decided to go without them. It's not like she would be the only one who made that decision.
"Why should I be distressed?" Dorian asked. "It's not like they'll start things without us if we're late."
"That's a good point," Selina grinned and took his hand after shaking out her hair. "I never thought about it that way.
They raced each other to the limo, laughing all the way and, when they were seated, Dorian pulled out a bottle of champagne and two glasses to toast the success of the new night club. Not that they thought it would be a problem, but a little champagne never hurt anyone.
As the rest of his siblings and their significant others had their silly evening at the stupid night club, two of the single coven siblings, Sarah and Todd, stayed at Kai and Victoria's to watch Lydia because neither of them were in the mood to be around all those people, even though an unpredictable baby wasn't much better company.
"It's not working trying to get her to eat," Sarah told Todd as he found her clutching a very messy baby. "I might as well go give her a bath. Would you watch my phone and if anyone calls, just answer and tell them that I'll call them back soon, please."
"Isn't that what voicemail is for?" Todd sighed. But he did what she asked, thinking that no one would call. Until someone did.
"Hello? He answered gruffly. "Sarah can't talk to you right now and I don't really want to either, so call back later."
"Oh, just a minute," came Faye's voice. "When will she be available? Can you tell me that at least? My name's Faye."
"I know that name," Todd told her. "She's complained about you before."
"I understand why, but it really was unintentional," Faye insisted. What's your name? Are you her boyfriend?"
Todd heard this and nearly choked on his spit. "No, I'm her brother. Why would you think I'm her boyfriend?"
"I don't know. But it was a really bad guess, apparently," Faye replied. Then she asked, "Why are you home alone on a night like this? What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing is wrong with me!" Todd cried. "Maybe I like being by myself because the world is full of stupid people like you who think that everyone needs to be paired with someone and go out on the weekend. If that's so important to you, why aren't you out eating dinner with some poor sap instead of being alone in your house talking to me? I bet you couldn't get a date if you wanted to and all you have is your TV dinner and your romance novels."
"Shows what you know!" Faye told him. "I could have any guy I want. I bet I could even get you to like me if I tried."
"Not really," Todd told her. "Not with the first impression you're making. I wouldn't fall in love with you in a thousand years!"
"I never said you had to fall in love with me," Faye replied. "I just said I had to get you to find me attractive and I know from past experience that that's not a problem I have when it comes to men."
Todd's lip curled. "Why are you telling me this? Did you just call to brag or something?" He wished that Sarah would get her butt out here and talk to this person so he could finally be away from the sound of her saccharine voice. It was making him sick.
"I'm not bragging," Faye told him. "I'm just sharing a truth with you. Offering a challenge. Unless you're too scared to take me up on it."
"I am scared of nothing, especially not someone like you!" Todd replied. "I'll show you. You're the last person I could ever see myself being with."
"Oh, I don't know about that," Faye told him. "We'll see." She had no idea what Sarah's brother looked like, but she didn't really care. She wanted to meet him. To prove him wrong and see the look on his face. "Just so you know, I'm planning a trip to America soon. Maybe we'll see each other."
"I hope not," Todd remarked. "Luckily for me, America is a big country so the chance of you just finding me is a very slim once, which is something I'm very grateful for." It was then that Sarah came into the room with Lydia in her arms. "What's that Faye? You say you want to talk to Sarah? Well, she just came into the room now!"
Sarah heard the name and her eyes widened as she began wildly shaking her head and mouthing, "No! No!"
"Oh, I'm sorry," Todd amended. "It looks like she doesn't want to talk to you either. Goodbye!" He pressed the button to end the call and put Sarah's phone down.
"Thank you," Sarah let out a breath as Todd reached out to take a much cleaner Lydia from her. "I really couldn't speak to that woman."
"You hate her too?" Todd asked. "Who the hell is she?"
"Junior's girlfriend," Sarah huffed. "I met her when I went down to surprise him for his birthday." She scoffed. "It turned out I was the one who got the surprise. He says they aren't a couple, but he has to be lying to me. People don't live across the hall from each other and just have it end up being nothing."
"He might be telling you the truth," Todd replied. "Or whatever she and Junior had is coming to an end because I think she wants to put the moves on me now!"
"Run!" Sarah urged. "Run as fast as you can!"
"You don't have to tell me," Todd assured her. "I've only heard her voice and I know just from that that I want to stay as far away from her as possible."
"You're a smart man, Todd," Sarah remarked.
"Yeah," Todd grinned. "I know."
"So what do you know about this club?" Ian asked Samantha as they sat across from each other in the limo with Ethan and Stefan at their sides.
"You know, I haven't heard much of anything," Annie put in. "Just that it's supposed to be very hip. I hope it's nothing like a disco. It would be horrible if it was a disco." She shuddered.
"What do you know about discos?" Patrick wanted to know since he bet she'd never actually been in one as Addie put a hand on his arm. "Don't bad mouth it before we even get there. Why did you even come if you're just gonna complain about it?"
This made Damon start to lunge at him in Annie's defense, but Stefan urged him back. "Let's not make a big deal about this, okay?"
"Yes, let's not," Clarissa begged. She and Drew had just begun to enjoy the fact that Elijah and Selina were no longer under the same roof and fighting and the thought of having to endure more bickering when they were stuck in a limo and couldn't get away was too much. "Please?"
"What does anyone know about this club?" Percy repeated Ian's question in an effort to change the subject. "Any more speculation at all?"
"I have to wonder why the invitation said 'Bring flashlights'," Leslie put forth. "I hope it's not because the place has no electricity. It won't get much business that way." Then she put her head on Sam's shoulder. "Maybe you could get a job here. Like, play a few gigs or something. Do you think Roxie would mind since she basically owns you?"
"She does not," Sam corrected. "I just play at her place most often cause it's a steady job. Do you suddenly have a problem with that?"
"No," Leslie shook her head. "I just thought I'd suggest it if you wanted a little variety, that's all." This was spoken through her teeth.
"I heard the place was entirely underground and you had to know a password, or be on a list and stuff to get in," Daisy offered. "That's kind of cool, don't you think?"
"Makes it seem much more exclusive," Clarissa smiled at her sister.
"Does anyone know why Jill didn't come tonight?" Davina questioned. "Should we go to her house and ask again? I hope that demon boyfriend of hers hasn't decided to keep her from living her life."
"I asked, believe me," Percy assured her. "And she told me that Christian had told her that John told him that it wasn't a good idea for them to go. That it would probably be pretty boring and that they should find something better to do with their time."
"That just seems very suspicious to me," Percy continued. "So wrong."
"And you've worried about it ever since they got together," William reminded him. "What has it gotten you? Nothing. It's just made you more freaked out every day. Jill likes him. They aren't going to separate. Calm down."
Percy rolled his eyes and no one spoke again until they reached the night club, which was called The Underground. The limo drove them to the front door and let them out, and as they entered the club, they saw it was well lit and a sign pointed to a bunch of elevators. They got in them and obeyed a sign that told them to press the button labeled "Underground." When the doors opened, everything was pitch black. They formed a chain, grabbing each other's hands and pulling out their flashlights. They reached a door that was blocked by a man in a neon green suit who shone a flashlight on them. "Name?" He asked. "Are you on the list?"
"Well, we should be," Patrick replied and handed him his invitation. The man shone his flashlight on it and Addie added, "We all have them. Can we go in?" Behind her, she saw lots of darkness and neon-colored furniture under blacklighting in what seemed to be a very cavernous space, punctuated by many different colors of glowing neon light and heard pulsing music.
"Yes," The man gestured and stepped aside. "You're some of the guests of honor. Have a good time."
