Chapter 9

8:46 pm. Lulu walks in wearing a green fitted t-shirt and jeans. Destiny strolls in right behind her wearing a a yellow fitted polo shirt, black jeans and her leather jacket. As soon as she walks in, she instantly knew this was the place she wanted to spend her birthday. It had a warm feeling, kind of packed, but a place you could just kick back let all your worries, and she had a lot of worries that she wanted to forget tonight. But there was something that put slight worry into her heart, a microphone on a stage caught her eye. Is there a band playing here tonight? She tells herself she'll ask Lulu later because right now, she needed a beer. They head over to the bar, where Coleman, who's wearing a gray button up shirt with a matching hat is working behind the counter.

"Miss Lulu Spencer, what can I get for you ladies?"

"I'll have a bottle of tequila with four shots glasses." Lulu announced.

Destiny looks at her with a raised eyebrow. "Tequila? And what with the four shots?"

Lulu smiles. "Well, it's your twenty-first birthday, so I figured we celebrate right. And my boyfriend and one of my best friends are showing up tonight." She turns back to Coleman. "Also make that two beers as well."

Oh, that's cool. "So what's your boyfriend's name?" She grabs her beer and takes a gulp.

"His name is Domonic and let me tell you, he sure as hell took a while to get used to, including his job."

His job? "What does he do?"

Lulu pauses for a moment. Her boyfriend, Dante, was undercover, but that was something she definately keeps to herself. "He actually works for Sonny Corinthos."

With that, Destiny accidently blows beer through her nostrils during her second gulp. The news of Lulu's boyfriend working for her potential rival caught her by surprise. Lulu eyes widen at Destiny, slightly worried.

"You okay?"

Destiny is slightly embarrassed but easily plays it off. "Yeah, just blew some beer through my nose, that's all." She chuckles making Lulu laugh along.

Coleman places the a bottle of tequila and four shots glasses on the bar table. "Here you go ladies."

Lulu grabs the bottle. "Hey Destiny, take the glasses and grab that table right there." She points to the last empty table in the room. "I'll be there in a second." As Destiny grabs the glasses with one hand and heads for the table, Lulu whispers over to Coleman.

Destiny sits at the table, places the glasses on the table, and takes sips her beer. This place was slightly crowded, it was welcoming. Everyone here was different. Not like that uptight, stick in the ass MetroCourt. Lulu's a genius. Lulu walks over with the tequila bottle in one hand and her beer bottle in the other. Along her side, a very handsome, dark eyes and dark shaggy hair, guy stood giving off a cocky, but gentleman vibe. But Destiny could also tell that there was something on his mind.

"Destiny, this is Domonic. Domonic, this is Destiny." Lulu excitedly introduces.

Domonic smiles and extends his hand. "Pleasure to meet you Destiny. Is there a last name?" He looks deep into her eyes as if he's trying to figure her out. It was at that moment, Destiny knew that he already knew who she was.

Dammit Sonny! A nervous and awkward grin form on her lips.

Lulu looks at Destiny, realizing that Destiny's last name has never been brought up. "Huh, what is your last name? I just assumed it was 'Ward'."

Destiny's nervous grin turns into a smooth smile, latching on to the assumption, without neccessarily lying. "Right." She takes another sip. "So are we gonna crack open this tequila or what?"

Lulu laughs as she and Domonic sits down. "Well I'm still waiting waiting on my friend so. He."

He? Oh God, please tell me this isn't a blind date. "Oh." Destiny sips her beer nervously. She hasn't dated since she was eighteen. Her last boyfriend, who was about about twelve years older than her, wasn't exactly the sainest person in the world. At that moment, a tall ruggedly attractive guys walk over to the table. He didn't seem exactly happy, but he mostly giving off some protective vibe. "Is ths your friend?" Cause if he's my date, set me up all you want.

Lulu turns around, but her good mood turns a little aggitated. "No, just my brother."

The man crosses his arms over his chest. "Is that anyway to greet your big brother?" His accent was so sexy, it actually put a smile on Destiny's face.

This can't be Lucky. Is it? She decides to take it upon herself to make an introduction. "Hi I'm Destiny."

Ethan flashes a smile her way. He extends his pale hand towards her. "Ethan Lovett." She shakes his hand. He retracts his hand after a while and turns towards Lulu. "Mind if I join you?"

Lulu rolls her eyes, knowing part of the reason of him wanting to stick around is to keep an eye out on her and Dante. "Acutally we're waiting on someone."

"Nonsense." Ethan grabs a chair next and slides it between Lulu and Destiny. "It's not like it's a double date. Cause if it is," He looks at Destiny. "I might have to change someone's mind."

Against Destiny's better judgement, she gives herself away by blushing. She can see in the corner of her eyes of Lulu's eyes rolling again, so she turns her attention from Ethan back to her. If this wasn't my date, then whoever is gonna have to step his game up. "So, what's your friend's name?" But before Lulu could answer, she looks over to the entrance, and sees Spinelli walking in. Oh shit. All she could do is stare...

A/N: I have no idea how I ended up putting Ethan in my story. He just slipped in without my knowledge. lol.

Bonus: Can you guess Destiny's ex boyfriend? Don't worry, he won't show until the sequel of this story.
