I had on my favorite pair of jeans, tight, skinny, bright red. My shirt for the night was a red sleeveless with a black, short leather jacket over. Black military boots completed the out fit and I was ready to go. I hit the streets with a spring in my step.
Nothing was going to bring me down tonight! I was getting paid to hit on one of the hottest men I had ever laid eyes on! I felt another giggle threatening to burst out but I squashed it down as I hailed a cab. I gave the address of the Organization before relaxing back into the questionably clean seats.
Once the cab pulled up the to the curb I was out the door, the fare laying on the back seat. There was a line, like there had been last night but I wasn't about to wait. I walked directly up the Luxord.
"Hey Roxas." he said with a slow smile. "Good of you to come back." I gave him a full smile and sauntered past him as he opened the door for me (to many hisses and boos from the line).
"I knew you'd miss me." I said as I winked at him. He gave a huge smile and pinched my ass as I passed. I laughed and slapped his hand away. "Behave!" I said as I slipped inside, the heavy door cut off his laugh.
I was immediately enveloped by the heavy bass and loud music. The flashing lights had me feeling giddy already. I skated around the dance floors, taking in the scene. The dance floor was packed like last night as were both bars, the one difference I noticed was that there were dancers on polls tonight, withering and dancing to the pounding music.
I was passing by one such poll and paused when I caught a glimpse of the dancer. The women was in six inch stiletto hills that were fire engine red and a red thong. She bent over, wrapping her hands around the base of the pole and kicked her legs up over her head and wrapped them around the top of the poll, her round perky breast bouncing slightly. Her long blond haired pooled at the base of the pole and her eyes locked with mine and lit with recognition.
She gave a huge smile and flipped back down, amazingly not breaking her ankle.
"Roxie!" She squealed as I approached the small stage and she wrapped me in her arms, my face pressed into her bare breast.
"Hello Larxene" I said, giving her a disgusted look as I pulled away. "I didn't know you were a professional skank." She laughed as a man reached over and tucked what appeared to be a hundred into her little red thong. She pulled it out and stuffed it down my shirt.
"If it pays baby!" She said with a wink and then swung back onto the poll. I laughed a little and watched her for a moment longer before I turned my attention to the bar. I wonder where Axel is..I looked over to the other bar and noticed the crowd around it was much lighter. To the crowded bar it is. I started forcing my way through the crowd, stepping on a few toes here and there to clear the path faster. I got a few angry looks but ignored them.
I was a few people away from the bar when I finally caught a glimpse of my favorite red head. He was wearing white tonight. A white vest and a white top hat. I had died and gone to heaven.
He was currently flipping a bottle of rum in one hand while listening to a pretty women yell in his ear. He laughed at something she said and my world got a little brighter. I pushed my way through the last few people and his eyes met mine, and maybe I was imagining it but his smile got a little brighter. He tossed the rum bottle into the air and did a fast spin and caught it behind his back, the crowd cheered. I clapped and smiled as he tipped his hat at me and poured a drink with the bottle. He made a few more stops before he got to me but I was so enjoying watching him work.
"Hey blondie." he said. "I see you came back for more." He winked and I just about melted into a god damn puddle on the floor.
"Just couldn't seem to get enough." I said with a smirk.
"What will be your poison of choice?" He asked me as he picked up a wash cloth and made a quick wipe down of the bar.
"Two Surfer on Acids and a double Malibu and coke." I said. All three glasses were on the bar before I had even finished talking. The Malibu bottle shot up from below the bar and he snatched it out of the air, he quickly poured the rum into the three glasses.
"So can I assume that we'll be seeing more of you around here?" he asked as he dropped the Malibu and pulled up the hose and filled the taller of the glasses with coke.
"You can assume that." I said with a flirtatious smile. "But it may lead to disappointment." He gave me a grin before he pulled out the Jagger, it did a few flips before he caught it and gently poured into each of the shot glasses and of course he floated it perfectly, the darker liquid floating over the lighter in the small glasses. He slid the three glasses toward me and I slid the bill that Larxene had shoved down my shirt toward me. "It's on Larxene tonight." I said with a wink as I slid one of the shots back over to him. He laughed as he swept up the glass.
"Well then, to good times and beautiful people." he said as he raised his shot. I touched my glass to his, we tapped the bar and threw the contents into our mouth. I smacked my lips and mmm-ed as the alcohol slid down. He gave me another wink as he picked up the shot glasses and dropped them into a sink and then moved on to the next customer.
I turned my back to the bar and pretended to be interested in the going on's of the rest of the club when in reality my mind was stuck on the beautiful red head behind me. God I'd give my soul for a night with that man. I thought with a chuckled as I took a sip of my drink.
I tried to stay turned around, tried to act like I wasn't to interested in what the red head was doing but when the group next to me broke out in cheers I had to look. I turned back around to see Axel pouring liquor into his hat! I leaned on the bar and watched with interest. He flipped the bottle over his shoulder and caught it before sliding it back into it's place behind his back. He pulled two shot glasses out of the hat and placed them in front of the man who ordered them. I couldn't help the huge grin that came to my face as the crowd cheered and he gave a sweeping bow.
A tap on my shoulder had me turning around to find a man I didn't know leaning beside me, his back to the bar. He gave me a smile and I returned it before turning back to my drink and taking a slow sip.
"I don't think I've ever seen you here before." He said as he stared around the club.
"It's only my second time." I said with a polite smile and turned away again to watch Axel make a drink on his forehead.
"I figured as much. You clearly don't know the staff well yet." he said with a soft chuckle. I felt my temper rise a little at this, who the hell was this guy? I finally turned toward him completely, leaning my hip against the bar. He was tall, not as tall as Axel but taller then me at least and very well built. He had silvery hair that was cut close to his head but still managed to stand up strangely at the top.
"And you do?" I asked him, my eyebrow raised. Maybe I could get information about Axel from this guy.
"I can tell you that Axel isn't interested in you." he said, glancing down at me. I felt a frown form on my face. "Though he isn't interested in any body, so don't take it personally." He flashed me a big grin as he turned to face me. "But I must say," he said as he looked me up and down. "I am most certainty interested." I gave him my best bashful smile but let my body language say I wasn't interested. Normally I would jump at this guy's offer but I didn't want to in front of Axel...
"Thanks." I said. "But I'm not all that interesting. I'm sure there are plenty of other men you can hit on here." I turned back to the bar and set my glass down but he grabbed my arm and spun me back toward him.
"Come on Blondie." he purred in my ear. "Let's go have some fun." I clenched my jaw and placed my hands on his shoulder, one step away from kneeing him in the balls when a voice from behind us interrupted us.
"Problem Roxas?" came the deep accent of Luxord. I pulled away from the creep and stepped back to stand beside my savior.
"Yeah, this man doesn't seem to know what no means." I said, crossing my arms. Luxord looked the man up and down. He raised his hand and motioned someone over. Two huge bouncers came through the crowd and grabbed the man by his arm.
"Oh come on!" the man said trying to pull away. "He's just a piece of ass." I raised my eyebrows as I grabbed his shirt and rammed my knee into his balls. He crumpled forward and I pressed my lips to his ear.
"I'm a piece of ass with free will dip shit." I hissed before he was drug through the crowd. Luxord placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him.
"No more trouble." he said and I nodded, keeping my mouth shut. He looked back over my shoulder and nodded to someone. I turned around to find Axel watching, his arms crossed and his face carefully blank. I took my place back at the bar and picked up my drink but it was snatched away from me. I looked up, ready to be pissed but a fresh one was pushed my way almost instantly.
"Don't want to take any chances." he said as he dumped my old drink into the sink.
"Thanks." I said with a small smile. "You called security?" He nodded as his eyes scanned the crowd. "Thanks for that as well then." He gave me a smile finally and seemed to relax again.
"Nice shot by the way." he said as he glanced down the bar to make sure no one needed anything. I took a long swig of my new drink and leaned forward, my arms resting on the bar.
"I hate dip shits like that." I said as I glared down at my drink. A hand on my chin had me looking up into gorgeous green eyes.
"Don't let one ass hat ruin your night." he said with a soft smile. I found myself smiling back at him and for a moment, it was just a smile, a genuine smile. I felt shocked for a moment and then I just went with the warm filling in my chest.
"Thanks." I said. He searched my face for a moment, like he was trying to decide something.
"Hey Axe!" Some one called out and he looked over his shoulder.
"Be right back blondie." he said as he turned and headed for the far side of the bar. I watched him go, my eyes glued to his ass and wondered what it would be like to grab a handful of that and just...I let the thought trail off as Axel glanced over his shoulder and winked at me. I felt a blush heat up my cheeks as I picked up my drink and took a sip. God when was the last time I blushed? High school?
"Enjoying your evening?" came Marluxia's voice from beside me. I glanced over to find my pink haired friend next to me. He was in full make up tonight, with huge colorful winks painted around his right eye. His long pink hair was in ringlets around his shoulders.
"Very much so." I said with a smirk as I let my eyes go back to Axel who was now serving a customer.
"Be very careful Roxas." Marluxia said and I turned back to him, ready to be angry but the look on his face was serious so I shut my mouth. "Axel is a friend, not someone you can just fuck and leave."
"He's not interested in me, love. I just enjoy looking." I said as I drained my glass and set it down on the bar.
"If you say so." he said and then Axel was there, sweeping up my empty glass and pulling up a clean one.
"Hello Marly. What can I get for you this evening?" Axel asked as he expertly made another rum and coke for me. Marluxia gave Axel a flirtatious smile and leaned over the bar to whisper in his ear. Axel's eyes locked with mine as the pink haired man spoke to him and I could almost feel the ugly green monster rising up inside me. Axel threw back his head and laughed as Marluxia pulled away and settled back down beside me. I shot my friend a sideways glare before I picked up my new rum and coke and downed it very quickly. I slammed the glass down onto the bar.
"I'll see you later." I muttered to Marluxia before I pushed away from the bar and joined the crowd on the dance floor.
I danced for several songs, just letting my body move with the bodies around me. I was starting to feel the effects of the few drinks I had and figured it was time to go back to the bar. Needed a few more before the night was over. I pushed my way back through the crowd and toward Axel's bar. I finally got to the front of the line but there was no sexy red head, just the blue haired guy...I think his name was Zexion?
"What can I get for you?" He asked me as he noticed me staring at him. I couldn't help the frown that was in place as I glanced up and down the bar. "Axel has left for the evening." he said and I glared at him.
"I wasn't looking for Axel." I said. "I want a rum and coke." And I might have sounded a little pouty. He made the drink (not nearly as entertaining as Axel was I might add) and slid it to me. I paid him and then started back toward the dance floor. I paused just at the edge of the pulsing crowd and leaned against the railing to the small stairs that led down to the dance floor.
I can't believe he left with out saying anything..
"Oh blondie, don't look so sad." I looked down and found my red head standing at the bottom of the stairs, a grin stretched across his face. He looked just as good as he had last I'd seen him but at some point he had lost the top hat. Now his red spikes were flowing freely back form his face. I fought with myself to keep from smiling like a fool. He came up the three steps and stood in front of me. "Ready to go?" he asked me and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Fresh drink." I said holding up the glass so he could see it. He reached up and snatched the glass from my hands and downed it in two large gulps. "Hey!" I said and this time I couldn't help the smile and small laugh that came. He gave me a grin and grabbed my wrist.
"Alright, lets go." he said and started to pull me through the crowd.
"Hey!" I said laughing. "Axel! Where the hell are we going?" He just shot me a grin over his shoulder and continued to force our way through the crowd. We stumbled out of the club and into the night air. "Axel!" I said as I stumbled a bit trying to keep up with his long legs. He slowed down and let me catch up, his smirk still in place. "Where are we going?" I asked as I looked around and saw we were headed for a small parking lot on the side of the building that housed the Organization.
"Where ever the wind takes us Roxie." he said and I laughed as he pulled me along.
"Okay, and where might the wind be headed tonight?" I asked as he pulled out a set of keys. The lights on a beautiful red Audi R8* flashed and I just about died as he pulled me toward it. "This is your car?" I asked in awe as he opened the passenger door for me.
"Bar tending pays well. Bar tending like a bad ass, pays even better." he said with a smirk and I wanted to melt into a gooey puddle as I slid into the soft leather seat. I closed the door just as Axel slid into the drivers seat.
Could this guy getting any fucking hotter? I groaned as he started the car and it purred to life under us. We shot out of the parking lot, just a red flash and took off down the road. I felt my insides go giddy as I looked over at the sexy red head behind the wheel. Oh god I was going to die. Die right here, like this and die happy.
"So Roxie." he said, pulling my thoughts out of dirtiest ditch you've ever seen. "What do you do durning the waking hours?" He glanced over at me and then back to the road. I relaxed back into the seat.
"I work for Zeus." I said and I caught the glance he shot at me.
"The modeling company?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm a project manager or if I've pissed my boss off really badly, a secretary." I let my eyes slide down his relaxed form and swallowed rather loudly.
"Sounds like fun." he said and I laughed.
"Hardly. I mean it has it's moments but mostly I just have to deal with bitchy designers or even bitchier models." I said with a roll of my eyes.
"Well I deal with drunk people who eye rape me every time they look at me." he said with a smirk and I felt a blush burn across my cheeks.
"Well you are very good at it." I said with a smirk. He laughed and suddenly I was aware of the butterflies in my stomach.
God what's happening to me?
"Well I have an evening full of fun activities planned." he said and I gave him a skeptical look.
"So either you knew you were going to kidnap me or these plans were made up on the spot. I don't know which worries me more." I said and he laughed again and shot me a smile. We were now on the free way, heading at a nice clip passed other cars so his attention was on the road, where it belonged.
"I'll just leave you to guess at that one. Hint, these aren't spur of the moment plans." he winked at me and I had to look out the window to hide my stupid grin.
"Well then, Mr. premeditated kidnapper, where are we headed?" I asked for the umpteenth time since this escapade started.
"The beach!" He said and grinned out at the road. "Where else?"
The beach? With this gorgeous being? In the middle of the night?...YES PLEASE.
I could hardly contain my excitement as we took the exit that would take us to the bay front.
"Sounds good." I said, trying to play it cool. I knew he glanced over at me so I gave him a small smile which he returned and then focussed back on the road. "So how long have you been bartending?" I asked but he just smirked.
"Gotta save some questions for the beach Roxie." He said as he looked both ways at a stop sign. "Hate to run out of conversation topics." I highly doubted we could ever run out of conversation topics.
And I was right, we never ran out of conversation topics. It was impossible to run out of topics, you wanted to tell Axel everything, anything to keep his attention completely focused on you.
Or maybe that was just me?...Nahhhh!
We were sitting in the sand, our pants rolled up to our knees and our shoes back by his car in the parking lot. The moon was out and bright as it fell over the oddly silent ocean in front of us.
"So Roxie." He said, bumping our shoulders together and smiling down at me. "Have any family here?" he asked and I felt myself want to shut down. This was not a road I wanted to travel down.
"Uh yeah, two brothers. Well one now, the other is moving soon." I said with a smile. "You?" I asked trying to get the conversation off of me.
"Yeah, my older brother and our baby sister. Our parents are in England for a few years so Reno and I are watching out for our sister." he said as he gazed out over the water.
And he's a good person?!
"That's good of you." I said with a smile. I pulled my knees up and laid my head on top of them, turned so I could stare at Axel.
"How did you come to meet Marluxia and Larxene?" He asked as he laid back into the sand, his hands behind his head.
"They frequented the same bars as I did. I was going through some dark times...well I guess I still am but they helped lighten the load for me." I said as I let my eyes go distant with remembering our first encounters. "They really are something else." I said, chuckling.
"That's the nice way of putting it." he said with a smile.
"So." I said, stretching out my legs. "What is this?" I asked glancing down at my new favorite red head.
"This?" he asked, his eyebrow raised.
"This kidnapping, this." I said waving between him and I. He smirked and set up, stretching his arms out in front of him.
"This is me getting to know the only thing that has occupied my mind for a full 24 hours." he said as he slung his arms over my shoulders. I tensed up almost instantly but relaxed into his side when I realized what he had said. I felt myself heat up with embarrassment and I looked away so he wouldn't notice.
"Well then." I muttered, clearly embarrassed. He laughed and I felt those butterflies again. I looked over at him and found him much closer to me then I had expected. I quickly took in his amazing features from this close and had an urge to touch the upside down tear drops under his eyes.
"I told myself I'd leave it alone if you didn't come in tonight before I got off and I had almost convinced myself you wouldn't come again and then suddenly there you were." his eyes were staring straight through me and my heart was in my throat. My palms were sweaty and I felt down right nervous. This was so unlike me!
Just flirt back Roxas! My mind hissed at me. You'll get into his pants and it'll be over with tomorrow. I blushed and looked away from him, my mind going a mile a minute. I don't want to just get into his pants! I hissed back at myself. I felt Axel squeeze me gently and then his arm was gone from my shoulders. I glanced back over at him to find him staring off at the ocean.
"Well I'm glad I came in tonight then." I said as I turned my eyes to the water as well. "I have to admit though I wasn't expecting to be kidnapped." I bumped our shoulders together and he smiled.
"I try to be unpredictable." he said as he looked over at me with a smirk. I laughed and the awkwardness seemed to just evaporate.
"So," I said as my laughter subsided. "How long have you been bar tending?"
"I've been working behind the bar since I was 17. I've been doing trick bar tending since I was 20, so for about five years now." he said and then he went into the story about how he got into the trick bar tending and I just listened and watched as his face lit up. He really loved what he did. "Things got even better this year. I've won every competition that I've been too and I've been invited to Grand Nationals."
"That's great!" I said, and I meant it. Anything that made this man that happy was great.
"Yeah, it would be." he said and his face fell. "But I'm not going to have the money in time. The entrance fee is ridiculous as is travel expenses." I felt myself go very still, should I bring up the job offer..?Seems like a good time..if it'll make him smile again...
"Zeus wants you to come model for them." I blurted out and he looked at me, his eye brow raised. I saw something flash in his face but I wasn't sure what it was. "Sorry," I said blushing a bit. "Didn't mean to blurt it like that. But my boss approached me when he heard that I got into the Organization.
He wants me to get you to come into the studio and see if your interested in signing a contract with us."
"So that's why you came back to the club tonight?" he asked and suddenly I knew what that flash of emotion had been, disappointment.
"What?!" I said, shocked. "No! The job part of it was like a bonus! I was coming back in tonight no matter what. I wasn't even going to bring up Zeus but you got all sad when you mentioned how expensive grand nationals were going to be and you modeling will just rake in money and..." I was shut up by his hand over my mouth. I blushed as I realized he was chuckling.
"Calm down. I believe you." he said with a smile and his hand fell away. "Scouted by a modeling company, huh?" He chuckled and ran a hand through his fiery locks. "Something to consider." I nodded a bit.
"Just let me know if your interested and I'll get you in with the boss." I said, giving him a smile before looking out over the water. I opened my mouth to ask another question but his phone bursting to life had me biting my tongue. He flashed me an apologetic smile as he squeezed his hand into his pocket and extracted his cell.
"Hello?" he said as he put the phone to his ear. "Yeah, alright. Hold on a sec." He glanced over as he held his phone to his palm. "I'll be right back, ok?" he asked and I just smiled and nodded. He got up from the sand and headed back toward the car as he placed the phone to his ear again.
I sighed and allowed myself to fall back into the sand. I still was finding it hard to believe I was here with him. Not hard to believe that I was with him but that I was with him and we weren't naked, doing nasty things to each other. Though I'm sure that would come...but I actually...might...want a...
Relationship...?
I shook my head to clear that thought. Slow down Roxas. I told myself. Lets see were this evening leads first..
"Sorry about that, it was my sister." he said as he set back next to me in the sand. I set up and shook out my hair a little, trying to dislodge any sand.
"Everything okay?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, she was just checking on me." he chuckled. "Sometimes its hard to tell who's taking care of who." I chuckled along with him but couldn't help the painful memories of my own siblings start to bubble up.
"She sounds like a sweet girl." I said and turned my gaze to the sky. He just hummed next to me and we settled into a relaxed silence.
"So tell me about your life Roxas." Axel said as he flopped back into the sand. I followed suit, my hands under my head and my eyes on the stars. I tried to look relaxed but I was anything but.
"Theres not much to tell." I said. Axel rolled onto his side facing me and propped his head up on his hand.
"Of course there is!" he said with a smile. "Tell me about your family and where you went to school, high school, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, the whole shabang!" I smiled a bit and glanced over at him.
"Surely you don't want to hear all that, it'll be terribly boring." I said, hoping beyond hope he'd agree and just drop it.
"Oh Roxie, you underestimate my interest in you." he said with a grin. I felt myself blush but I rolled my eyes.
"I grew up with my Mom, Dad, older brother- Cloud and my twin Sora." I said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Axel said as he stared at me with wide eyes. "There are two of you?!" I laughed for a moment.
"We're fraternal." I said, still giggling. "Cloud and I look more a like then Sora and I."
"Alright, continue then." he said with a smile.
"Alright weirdo. We were a pretty happy family until Dad suddenly decided he wanted a different life so he took off and left us with Mom. She worked really hard to make sure we always had what we needed and somethings that we wanted. We moved to Austin after our Dad left and thats where we went to High school. We had it rough because Sora and I were openly gay but Cloud stuck up for us. I can't even count how many fights he got into because of us."
"You and your brothers must be close." he said, his smile still on his face. I felt a frown form on my face.
"Not anymore." I said and I locked my eyes on the stars. "I fucked up really bad and had a falling out with them about two months ago. Sora is in the process of leaving town just to get away from me and Cloud won't speak to me any more. Not even our Mother will answer my phone calls." I felt tears sting my eyes but I wouldn't let them fall, I had no right to cry. It was my own damn fault.
"They're family." he said as he reached down and took my hand in his. "They'll come around." I glanced down at our intertwined hands and smiled.
"Pretty to think so. But theirs no bouncing back from this one." I said with a sigh.
"I won't ask what you did, because you clearly don't want to talk about it but family is family I'm sure if you just apologize..." I cut him off with a burst of bitter laughter.
"An 'I'm sorry' isn't going to take back what I did." I said. He gave me a sad smile as I gazed up at him.
"No but it's a good place to start." he said and I had to look away. He was probably right but how do you word that apology? Hey Sora, sorry I slept with your fiance. No hard feelings? I almost laughed just at the thought.
"Any way, after high school, Sora and I moved here because Cloud was already living here and going to college. We went to school here with Cloud and we've been here ever since." I said. "What about you? Tell me about your life." He smiled down at me.
"Alright, fair is fair. I grew up with Reno, my older brother and Kiari, my younger sister and both of our parents. We were a pretty wealthy family growing up, my Dad is a surgeon and my mom is a Pediatrician so we had it made. We grew up here and went to high school here as well as college. I had a pretty decent childhood, my Dad is a little controlling and won't support my 'hobby', says it's a waist of a good mind." Axel shrugged a bit and flashed me a beautiful smile. "I agree with him but I love what I do and I make a decent amount of money doing it." I smiled.
"If you love what you do then your doing the right thing." I said.
"Yeah thats what my Mom says. I just wish Dad would jump on the band wagon." he said. He trailed off and I let the silence go for a while, just thinking about him and his family and couldn't help but feel a little envious. "So!" he said, his smile coming back full force and bringing my butterfly's with it as he grinned down at me. "Any significant others that I should know about? Any toes I need to watch out for?"
About a dozen. I almost said but I kept it in and gave a questioning smile.
"So you plan on sticking around long enough to step on toes?" I asked, sounding a little off put on purpose. He gave me a huge grin and pinched my cheek.
"Why yes, yes I do." he said and his eyes were sparkling with suppressed laughter as I swatted his hand away.
"To answer your question, no I don't have a significant other. My girlfriend of a year left me about two months ago." I was frowning again as I shifted my gaze from him to the sky again.
"So the same time you had a falling out with your family, your girlfriend left you?" he asked and I felt my stomach drop. Please just let it go... "What a bitch." he said and I looked at him only to find his face very serious.
"Yeah I guess..." I said letting my voice trail off. God I did not deserve this mans attention. I set up and pulled my knees to my chest again.
"Well then, no toes to step on!" He said as he set up as well and draped his arm over my shoulders. I felt a little shocked but said nothing. He squeezed me gently and grabbed my chin with his free hand. "Hey." he said as he turned my face and I was staring into beautiful green eyes once again. "Shit happens."
This guy is too good to be true. I thought as I stared into his eyes. He leaned his forehead against mine and closed his eyes. I let my eyes slide shut as well and just enjoyed being surrounded by his presence (which included a delicious aroma of cologne and cinnamon).
"So I'm considering this our first date." He said and I pulled away.
"I don't recall being asked out." I said with a raised eyebrow and a small smirk. My heart was pounding a mile a minute. He gave me a grin that I was slowly learning to recognize as his customary smirk.
"When you didn't scream for help when I dragged you out of the Organization I took that as a yes." he said and I laughed.
"No way!" I said. "You are not getting off that easy. If you want a date you'll have to ask just like any one else." He gave me another smirk but this one was a lot more sexy. He slid his hand that was on my shoulder, down my back and leaned into me. I turned away, my face catching fire at the look on his face. I felt his breath on my ear and my heart was going 60 miles an hour.
"But I'm not like anyone else." he purred in my ear and it took every ounce of self control that I had to keep from jumping his bones. "I see your pulse pounding away in your neck." Oh god if he touched me I was going to lose it.
"Be that as it may." I said, my voice a wee bit shaky. "You still have to ask." I felt him move closer to me and my breath caught as his lips ghosted over my neck but then he pulled back.
"Fine." he said and I could have been fooling myself but he sounded a little pouty. I chuckled a little as I willed my heart to slow down. He stood up and offered me a hand. I gave him a questioning look.
"Where are we going now?" I asked and he just smiled.
"I'm thinking sonic." he said and I took his hand. He pulled me to my feet but didn't let go of my hand as we headed for his car. We stopped and picked up our shoes and dusted off best we could before he got back into his car. He turned the radio up and I gazed out the window as Marilyn Mansions version of Tainted Love filled the car. Oh how perfect.
I couldn't believe I was spending the evening with a complete stranger and we were still fully clothed. What was even more unbelievable was this man seemed genuinely interested in me. I glanced over at Axel to find him lip singing along with the song and I couldn't help the smile that came to my lips.
Even stranger...maybe I was genuinely interested in him as well.

"Tainted love
Tainted love
Touch me baby
Tai...nted love.."
I just couldn't help myself...
