I was dropped off at Nick's place and I walked inside. Immediately I hear shuffling from the back, in Nick's room.
"O! Is that you?" Nick asked frantically and I see him moving into the living room and seeing me looking me over. "Oh my god. What happened, O? Are you okay?" I nodded holding my hand up trying to speak, but he was already smelling me.
"I smell blood. What happened?" he asked firmly. Oh yeah that's right. Anal. I shook my head.
"I am fine, Nick. I promise. I just want to go to sleep." I replied softly, but he wouldn't let me pass.
"O, you can talk to me. Did something happen last night… were you attacked?" he asked. I shook my head.
"No. Just went on a wild ride." I said lowly before noticing he was in boxers and a wife beater. "Why aren't you at work?" He looked down some eyes softening some.
"Some federal agents are coming in today. I was told to take the day off. I'm sure it's about me." he said and my head was pounding but I nodded.
"Hey. You're a good cop. Never forget that or who you are." I said and he nodded smiling some.
"Thanks, O." he said and I smiled and began to walk around him. "And you're sure you're okay?" I nodded.
"Totally." I said and moved into my room only to break down in the shower once I was naked. I scrubbed my body down trying to get all of last night off me. I couldn't believe this happened. I'm so stupid. I felt low, really low. Once I felt clean enough, I moved back into the bedroom and took a two-hour nap before waking up wired again. I slipped on some pants and a tank top and black cardigan before leaving with my phone, wallet and headphones.
"Hey Nick, I'm going out, want anything?" I asked.
"Nah I'm good. Ordering a pizza later. You in?" he asks from his room. I nodded.
"Sure. Be back in a few." I said before moving over to my car and driving back into the city. I found myself back at the Fogteeth's club. I was sitting at my familiar booth with my head phones in my ears just processing what happened last night. No I need to stop processing last night. It didn't matter. I'll just be a one night stand story to his elf buddies or something. I wasn't listening to any music this time, but I managed to block out all the outside sound, until a towering orc came my way. I looked up to see Dorghu looking down at me and I arched a brow and removed my headphones. The loud screaming music flooded back in.
"Nice to see you again, shawty! I wasn't sure I was going to see you again!" he yelled and I wanted to smile, but I couldn't bring myself to smile.
"I said maybe I would be back." I yelled back. He leaned over the table before me.
"How about we go somewhere a little quieter? You seem down." he said and I just snorted and shrugged.
"Sure!" I yelled and got up from the booth and began to move from the booth. I mean what did I have to fear? If he tried anything I could stop him, unless he planned to slash my throat directly then that would be the end of life as I knew it. The two of us began to walk from the building, his large form just towering over me. We walked into the sun and began to just walk down the street.
"You know I wasn't expecting you to just agree to leave with me." he said and I shrugged.
"I seem to be doing a lot of things out of character as of late." I reply.
"I can see you're upset. I don't like to see a pretty siren upset. Who do I need to beat?" he asked and I slowly began to smile some. "There's my smile."
"I know people are afraid of you. But I don't have a reason to fear you. If you were going to hurt me you would have." I said and he nodded tucking his hands in his pockets.
"Nah I ain't like that. I'm for peace when I can help it. I like to throw parties where everyone can get together and have fun as long as there are no guns." he said. I smirked.
"I have never met an orc with such a mission for unity before." I said and he nodded.
"Well I have never met a siren who just walks into orc clubs alone without worry." he said and now he looked me over. "You know I told some buddies of mine I met you, and they didn't believe me." I shrugged noticing some of the chained linked fences we passed with orcs on the other side chilling and lifting up cars for smaller orc children.
"Not many notice they are speaking to a siren. Sirens can easily hide and we don't have to announce ourselves." I said and he nodded.
"So do something." he said and I looked up at him with disbelief.
"What?" I asked before noticing my phone began vibrating and I took my tone out to check the caller ID.
"Yeah. I mean anyone can say they're a siren. Do some siren stuff." he said. The caller ID merely said K. How did his name get in my phone? Obviously he put it in my phone when i wasn't aware and I ignored it immediately and put my phone away.
"You don't know what you're asking. Siren music is made for immobilizing people and getting information out of them as a last resort. Our singing is use for basic manipulation, I cannot do that to you." I replied and he shrugged.
"I don't believe you'll hurt me." he said and I shook my head pausing in my walk and looking up at him.
"Just because you believe I won't doesn't mean a thing. I can sing normally and I can sing with a purpose. I could make you follow me to the ends of the earth and when I'm bored of you I could make you walk in front of a bus." I said and he stared down at me for a moment before nodding.
"Okay. Fair enough. Can you focus on one person?" he asked. I shrugged.
"If it were just that person and me in one room or I really focused on them yes. But out here in the open, everyone will be controlled." I said and he nodded before looking around and shrugging.
"So let's go somewhere private. You sing to me a bit and prove to me you're a siren." he said and now I tensed and leaned back from him now.
"Why do I need to prove to you what I am?" I asked and he raised his hands.
"Hold up shawty, don't worry. I come in peace. I would never hurt or take advantage of a woman. It's easy to say you're a siren, hell everyone can say that. But if you're lying it's disrespectful to the siren race. But if you're telling the truth then I'm curious of what a siren can actually do being as you are my first." he said and I stared up at him for a moment feeling challenged by this. I noticed people were starting stare at us for some reason. I guess a large looking orc hovering over a woman brought attention from everywhere and before I knew it a cop was walking over to us.
"Miss, is this orc bothering you?" he asked with disgust causing Dorghu to sigh already.
"I ain't bothering no one." he defended but the cop raised his hand to him.
"Hey you stay quiet. Speak when spoken to." he said looking back at me. He was a skinny man, but his uniform gave him power and I nodded.
"No officer we were just chatting." I said with a gentle smile. "Thank you for your concern. You police are wonderful." I was close enough that I was able to run my fingers over his cheeks.
"Cuz be dreaming of you tonight, till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight. And there's nowhere in the world, I'd rather be than here in my room, dreaming about you and me."
I didn't take my eyes off him and I watched his eyes become foggy and his body grew limp. Dorghu watched with wide eyes at the spectacle before him.
"Wonder if you ever see me and I wonder if you I'm there. If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside would you even care? I just want to hold you close. But so far, all I have are dreams of you." I kept singing and I suddenly turned and pressed my back into the cop's chest raising his arms and they locked around me sensually. Our hips swayed together sensually before Dorghu and it began to attract many people's eyes, but I kept my eyes closed so I would not hypnotize anyone else. By now the cop should be hearing the chorus of Selena's music in his head and be completely enticed.
"So I wait for the day, and the courage to say how much I love you. Yes I do. I'll be dreaming of you tonight till tomorrow I'll be holidng you tight, and there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be than here in my room dreaming about you and me!"
Immediately I stopped singing and opened my eyes after a few seconds before moving from the officer's hold and standing by Dorghu who just looked the cop over with wide eyes. By now the gang of orcs who were on the other side of the fence were standing up to the fence watching.
"Officer apologize to my friend for being rude to him." I said and the cop nodded.
"I'm sorry for being rude to you." he said, his voice faint. I glanced up at Dorghu to see he was nodding as if impressed.
"Now go back to your car and sit there for one hour." I replied and the cop just turned and began to walk away. But as he did, we could hear police sirens coming from up the street. Someone must have called the cops on us. Now the entire streets began clearing out, people were hurrying to move out the way and get out of the line of fire that was sure to come. Dorghu took my hand and led me back down the street from where we came.
Once we were back at the club we could still hear the police cars.
"Where's your car?" he asked quickly and I pointed down the street at the parking garage and we ran down the street. For a large orc, he could run. We hurried toward the parking garage and once we were at the door, Dorghu swung it open and pulled me inside pinning me to the wall with his body over mine as we just waited for the sirens to pass us by or at least I hoped they did. We were frozen for a few seconds listening to the sirens fade away down the street. Dorghu was staring down at me intently before I looked around his wide chest.
"That was close." I said and he nodded leaning back before chuckling some.
"Man that was impressive. I mean the way you spoke to that cop, I was shivering." he said and I smiled and began to walk some toward the elevating street that would take me to the second floor, because that was where my car was.
"Yes. My people used to love singing for others and getting into trouble. "I said as he walked beside me. He chuckled.
"I can tell. You seemed to be enjoying yourself." he said and I nodded looking up at him.
"I did." I replied before skipping a few feet in front of him and doing a gently spin as I pulled out my phone and played Selena's music, skipping to the last verse before the chorus. "Late at night when all the world is sleeping. I stay up and think of you." I had to finish the song. I then looked up at him and swayed my hips a little and he just followed and watched keeping his hands in his large leather coat. We were on the second level already. "And I still can't believe, that you came up to me and said I love you. I love you too, now I'm dreaming with you tonight till tomorrow! And for all of my life and there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be than here in my room dreaming with you here with me!"
I could hear the chorus in my mind perfectly and the music and my voice echoed through the garage. I was at the front of my car now watching Dorghu approach me.
"With you tonight!" I continued and he suddenly lifted me into the air, his hands gripping my ass causing me to actually giggle at feeling so light in his arms. "And there's nowhere in the world, I'd… rather be. Then here in my room…" His eyes were light as he moved about dancing with me some, our foreheads together. "I'll be dreaming of you tonight. And I'll be holding you tight. Dreeeeaaamming with you tonight." I let my head fall some as I finished my love song and looked down at Dorghu who just smiled and leaned forward and just kissed me. Now that caught me off guard. God damnit O!
Author's Notes
so i definitely laughed at the ending, but I think it will be a good build up for O and Kandomere's future relationship only because orcs will forever be lower than Elves and sirens so of course having an orc roommate and an orc gang leader definitely will not sit well with Kandomere if he finds out about Nick or Dorghu.
