" Don't try to act nice to me!" She snapped at me. I walked over to my own private bar and poured bourbon in two glasses for her and me.

"Am not trying, I have changed" I said to her as I lifted the two glasses off the counter and walked over to her.

" Huh" she scoffed and grabbed one of glasses from my hand before I could hand it over and took a sip "...and am queen" she mocked my statement.

" What do you want?" I wanted her out of here and so I went straight to the point. I still need to go look at the lady hunting my dreams.

" Why didn't you come to beauty today?" She asked. I smirked knowing exactly where this was heading.

" I had to settle myself first before I visited the place" I answered her and took a sip of the drink.

" You have to show up tomorrow at exactly 9, I want everything settled and back in running by the end of the week" Tania demanded. She could sometimes be alittle too much and I didn't like it one bit. I mean, I just got to town. This was one of the reasons we broke up.

"Fine, now leave" I agreed with a simple reply. I wanted her gone, now. But first...

" is dad home?" I asked her. Tania's father and I go wei back...and he was a father figure to me. He meant alot to me.

" He isn't" she replied. I walked back to the glass window as I waited for her to explain more. And she did

" He is in Tennessee as we speak, and we are just hoping he wakes up" there was a hint of sadness in her voice. I knew she loved the old man alot and so did I. I aswell wanted him to wake up. I hadn't talked to him in a long time.

Tania joined me by the window and looked at the club. I could see the sadness disappear from her face through her reflection on the window. I knew she was going to add something and probably prolong this conversation so...

" I will be there tomorrow at 9, you can leave now" I said to Tania without sparing her a glance directly. My eyes turned and started scanning the club for those eyes. She was no longer by the bar. Where was she?

" Bitch!!" I heard Tania curse as she walked out of my office pissed off. I didn't care much. She might have seen one of her nemesis and probably wanted to confront her. Extra!!!

I spotted my treasure and immediately froze. I held my breath as I looked at her, blood rushing through me in speed. She was staring right back. Right into my eyes. Could she possibly see me? But she was human, she couldn't possibly....I felt shaken for the first time in a very long time. It was like she could see through the tinted glass and through my soul......

Liv

I made sure not to disappoint Sheila as he requested.

The elevator took me straight down to the parking lot. I pressed the car keys to open the car and a Porsche 911 beamed at me. This was a real motivation. I squealed alittle excited.

It was my first time in Manhattan so why not show off alittle, it's not like anyone will recognize me or anything. Hah..

I open the car and entered in. Damn the leather seats were so soft and comfortable. Where have you been all my life?

" Ahrgg" I groaned in satisfaction. I inserted the keys and when I turned it on, damn I loved the sound it made. Perfect. I drove out of the parking lot and into the big city. I had to make the best out of this day. Besides, I was going to be yelled at anyway by little miss Tania, so I might aswell enjoy the day as the sun is still up. I went out to any place that looked amazing and when I got there I heard a few people call it the bryant park. Sounds fancy.

" Jeez I forgot my purse." I cursed as I recalled. I checked my pockets for anything but there wasn't, it was only my phone there.

This is a bummer- I thought to myself.

I look at the seat next to me as I sighed heavily and there was a beautiful card just smiling at me with a note that had the code. This was the best day. I wonder if Sheila knew I was going to take the car out today. This was a miracle.

But anyway, I hang out alittle there and the place was alot boring than expected. So I decided to do something I love. I checked my pocket and got my phone out. It was something I always carried with me. I located a near by theatre and immediately drove there. I watch all the movies I thought were interesting by their titles. Well I enjoyed two.

It was about 5 o'clock when Sheila finally got me. I was watching 'guns Akimbo' at the time and I think the number people in the place were few at the time. Probably because it was day time.

" Seriously!!" He scolded as he took the empty seat next to me.

" What?" I asked in a whispering innocent voice as I looked at him. I stuffed my mouth with pop corn as I waited for his response

" I ask you to go out and have fun and you came to watch for like....6 hours?!" He whispered sharply. What did he expect me to do in a city I didn't know much about.

" Look, I love watching and so, I did what makes me happy, am not even tired if you ask me. " I whispered back defensively.

" Ohh, jeez. Come I've got a place I think you will have tones of fun in. " He offered with a mischievous smile across his face. He seemed excited.

" After the movie" I agreed but a condition. He just grumbled as he rolled his eyes and sat quietly as I watched the rest of the movie.

Since it was late, there was alot of traffic. it took us a couple of hours to finally reach the fun place Sheila was talking about.

Once we pulled over, Sheila turned to me with a serious look on his face. What now?

" Now, listen." He started serious. It gave me chills. alittle " Once we are in, have fun, as in let lose of the whole....you" he prolonged whole while scanning me. I just nodded and smiled to show I have understood.

" Great, now come along" he said with a forced British accent that made me giggle alittle and he smiled aswell gently clapping his hands together. he took his seat belt off. I did the same and we both got out of the comfy car.

Sheila led me into the place and the first thing I noticed were the people dinning. And he said it was going to be fun- I scoffed inwardly.

" And they said my watching bores." I said with heavy sarcasm. Making sure Sheila got my point.

" Come with me" he ignored my sarcastic comment and dragged me up the stairs that were opposite the door. I followed quietly .

We reached the landing where the huge guy stood all in black. This must be a club. Obviously.

" Hey Vincent" Sheila greeted the huge man with a big grin on his face

" Sheila and a beautiful miss, it's good to see you." the man replied in a charming voice, scanning me as he called me beautiful. Not expected of a guard at a club. Sheila then pulled me with him into the club. We passed a huge corridor and met another huge guy there who opened for us the door to a very noisy place.

" By the way, you didn't tell me your name?" Sheila reminded me.

" Liv" I replied with a brief smile.

"Eeeee" Sheila squealed with excitement, I could hear it quit clearly despite the noise. " Kid have fun, am heading over to the pool table. If you wanna go home. You can find there in heaven." Sheila said to me before disappearing into the crowd. Great. Just great. Alone again. I felt like my boredom was highly because I was alone. I missed my best friend Tamara. Am guessing she is having a better marriage than mine.

It had been long since I went to a club. My father made sure of that. The last time I was in a club, I spent only about 20 minutes before my dad showed up to drag me out. It was an embrassment still printed on my forehead.I moved to the bar which was not so crowded.

" What can I get the beautiful lady." A young handsome man with curly brown hair and brown eyes asked me with a nice smile. He had beautiful skin color. He was cute. And adorable for a man.

" Taquila...a bottle" I ordered

" You must wanna get drunk" he said as he spun in the bar to get me my order.

As I was waiting, Just then, my blood ran cold. I hadn't felt like this in years. I felt like every thing stopped. My heart started racing. I could hear the beat in my ears. Asif danger was near by.i felt my hairs stand. I looked around me and nothing seemed to be amiss. What was going on?

" Here is your bottle and a glass." The bar tender brought the drink. " Are you okay?" He asked. He was concerned, how sweet.

" Nothing really, its just, I have this sudden shakiness and it's giving me goosebumps." I said confused. My heart was still racing. I felt a shiver.
