"Hurry up Cole, damn. The club is going to be packed by the time we get there!" I heard Andrew yell from the other side of my penthouse

It's been awhile since I've went clubbing so I was stuck debating whether I wanted to dress up or dress down for it. That was until Andrew stormed in and threw a pair of jeans and a white button shirt down on the bed. It was casual but still gave the message that I was rich, so I appreciated his help.

I didn't appreciate him rushing me though.

"I'm almost ready man hold on!" I yelled back and finally sprayed on my cologne

I walked out my bedroom to where he was sitting on the couch and he nodded. I smiled to myself and grabbed my jacket and keys and we made our way outside to my car.

Andrew decided to drive since I haven't been to New York before and when we started to drive through the city, I couldn't help but feel starstruck and in a daze the entire car ride. There were orange lights strung everywhere and booming music could be heard from almost every street corner. People were posted along every piece of pavement and it made me wonder how it felt to actually walk the streets of such a busy and interesting city.

The change of scenery made me feel different but in a good way and it gracefully contrasted with my past. I was used to the dark and dangerous world that my father forced upon me, but it didn't affect me as it used to. I was used to the feeling of adreline coursing through my veins as I practiced illegal and scandalous actions that could've corrupted my business. Perhaps, that was the thrill of it all.

My thoughts were cut short though when we finally pulled into a club parking lot and it was filled with people at the entrance doors. The music could be heard from outside, but when everyone caught whiff of the roaring engine of my G-Wagon, they turned their attention to Andrew and I and screamed in excitement. Some were cheering that to the fact that I've finally made it to the big city while some were cheering that I was at the club.

Regardless, the popularity I had world-wide was phenomenal.

I smiled at their behavior and waved and as we walked to the entrance, the security guards instantly guided us through without waiting and I heard complaints and groaning from behind me. I wondered how long they've been waiting. Not dwelling on it though, I nodded towards the guards and smirked when we were led directly to the bar. I needed a drink right now.

As I leaned on the counter watching the bartenders scurry left and right, I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. I could never do something like this.

Eventually one of the females turned to look over me, and a scared yet shocked expression took over her facial features as she realized who I was. She swallowed hardly and walked up to the bar where I stood, plastered a small smile across her face and set up the computer for my order.

"Mr. Anderson, we apologize for keeping you waiting, what can we get for you?" She asked and I smirked at her customer service

Whoever was the owner of this club surely trained their employees well.

I craned my neck upwards to take in the huge menu of drinks and instantly decided on the Mango drink mixed with vodka. It was something that always took me off of the edge when I was in London, so I was intrigued to see how they would make it.

"Hmm, I'd take a Mango mixed with vodka. Thank you." I finalized and she nodded, turning around quickly

"Oh I wante–," Andrew began but she was already gone to the back

He scoffed, making me laugh and I patted his back with a smirk.

"Fuck you man. Tell me when she comes back." He whined and walked off to the dance floor where there were a group of girls dancing in a circle

I rolled my eyes at his actions and turned back around in time for the lady to sit my drink on the table. I mumbled a small "thank you" before holding it up to my lips to take a sip. It tasted heavenly, as it always did, and I smiled, taking my wallet out to pay.

"Oh no Mr. Anderson, it's on the house. Boss's orders." She interjected before I could and I looked back at up to her with a small smile

I pulled out the black card anyways and paid double the amount I was supposed to and told her to keep the change. It wasn't going to put a dent in my income, so I didn't mind. Plus their service and establishment was amazing. I couldn't show my appreciation simply by drinking a free drink.

She smiled at me hesitantly, watching my actions, but when she looked back at the computer, her eyes slightly widened noticing the amount I paid. She granted me a nice smile and her ears burned a bright red. It almost made me smirk, but I decided against it and allowed her to work with the other drunk people who surrounded the bar.

As time went on, I sat the drink down on the counter again, taking in the scenery, and directly after, I felt a presence beside me. I looked to my right and took in the most beautiful chocolate girl with shoulder length blonde hair I've ever seen.

As I shamelessly gawked at her, she beckoned the same girl who took my order to her and pursed her lips before ordering.

"Yes, I'll take a Blue Coconut and Peach Margarita please." She told the lady softly and looked over her shoulder quickly as if she was keeping her eye on someone

Her voice was as delicate as her aura and I couldn't help but craned my neck to get a better glance of her. She was wearing a sheer hot pink dress that stopped at her mid thigh with black strappy heels that obviously added a little height to her and her makeup was phenomenal. The gold shimmery color that was applied to her eyelids matched perfectly with the pink dress and her brown skin and the clear lip gloss she wore made her pink lips fuller in the most attractive way possible.

Everything about her screamed intriguing and it took everything in me to not act impulsively. That was until my eyes travelled down on their own and realize her frame. My breath caught in my throat as I took in her curves as they stood out within the dress. What made tingles swirl down my spine though was that her full breasts were practically pooling over the top of the dress, but she didn't seem to notice, or possibly she didn't seem to care.

As I continued to check her out, she finally turned to face me after she grabbed her drinks, and when we made eye contact, a soft gasp escaped her plump lips. The gloss made the small action a million times more addicting and I couldn't help but feel a tingle shoot straight to my dick. Soon after though, a blush crept across her cheeks and she took her gaze off of me for the slightest moment, before looking back to me.

She was adorable too. That's a bonus.

"Problem?" She asked softly, her voice coming off a little louder and more confident than what it was

I smirked in response and straightened my posture and her eyes widened immediately, noticing how taller I was than her. Suddenly her eyes met the floor and my smirk deepened at her loss of confidence. Too cute.

I cleared my throat and used two of my fingers to raise her chin so she could look at me and I heard her breath hitch quietly as we made eye contact again. I was used to feeling powerful and in control to everyone I met, but with her, it felt different. Perhaps the clear attraction I had towards her played a part in it, but whatever it was I wanted to dwell in it forever. It was a new feeling but I could tell I would quickly get used to it.

"Problem?" I mocked her and she bit her lip softly, shaking her head slightly

Her lip tucked between her lips made me groan inwardly as intrusive thoughts started to cloud my mind. If I didn't get some air, I'd end up fucking her into next week.

Reluctantly, I gently dropped her chin, keeping my eyes on her, but her gaze shifted from me instantly and focused on the alcoholic drinks as if they were the most important items in the world. I cooed at her adorableness and smiled harder when I noticed her blush was more prominent.

She quickly tried to turn around, but almost tripped and I shot my arms out to her waist to steady her. As soon as my fingers connected to her dress, I felt all of her body heat hit me at once and I could tell her skin was soft and smooth underneath the tight material. Another heavy sigh escaped me as I felt my willpower suddenly fading. The amount of control I had to use right now was fucking indescribable.

Once she gained stability again, she coughed awkwardly and I took that as a sign to take my hands off of her. When my hands returned to my sides, they felt cold and I wanted nothing more than to touch her again. She continued to walk to a table that was filled with girls and when she sat down, she started whispering to the orange haired that was girl beside her.

Suddenly, she looked up at me and gasped as her jaw dropped dramatically and I tried my damn hardest to hold my laughter in. I playfully waved at her with a smirk and she looked like she was going to scream if her friend didn't cover her mouth. They started hitting each other playfully and I could instantly tell that they were best friends.

I shook my head and turned back to the counter so I could finally finish my drink and noticed that Andrew was beside me now.

I wonder where he's been.

"Which one?" He asked knowingly and I couldn't hide my smirk in time

"Blonde." I answered straightforwardly and he discretely looked over his shoulder and nodded in acceptance

"You gonna tap?" He whispered and I was tempted to hit him upside the head

"What? No man, I'm not like you. I'll make her interested in me before I make her interested in my bed." I replied and he rolled his eyes before nodding his head again

Before any of us could say anything else though, the loud sound of bullets ricocheting through the air could be heard through the club, and we acted fast to get everyone out the back door. Absentmindedly, I grabbed the blonde girl's hand and dragged her out of the club and she grabbed her friend's arm who was drunkenly stumbling after her.

I trailed them both outside and to where Andrew already had the car started and the blonde girl pulled her arm back in defiance. Fuck this really wasn't the time.

"We drove here ourselves." She blurted, her posture changing completely as she held more of a confident and assertive stance

I blinked at her a couple of times and chuckled then continued to pull her to my truck and delicately but assertively pushed her in the back seat.

I didn't have time to play debate class.

Once everyone put their seatbelt on, we pulled off and started driving down the street at such a fast pace that I was surprised no one threw up.

"Where is your house?" I asked them through the rearview mirror, but the orange haired one was already sleeping and snoring softly

I turned my attention to the blonde girl and she cuddled more into the door beside her and parted her lips as she hesitantly looked up at me. I could tell she was skeptical in telling me and I couldn't help but smile at that. She assessed the situation thoroughly and realized we could've had ill intentions. Smart girl.

"2059 Parker Street." She eventually answered as she tugged her purse closer to her and I could tell she had something on her

My grin widened as I made eye contact with Andrew and he nodded as he typed the address into the GPS system.

Still gripping onto her purse, she laid her head on the window and watched the trees we passed by as if they'd disappear if she took her glance away. Everything about her was appealing that I couldn't help but stare. It was impossible to not want to know every single thing about her and her physical characteristics only added to her.

Begrudgingly, I turned my attention forward and on the road so she wouldn't catch me staring at her through the rearview mirror and after a few more minutes of driving, we finally pulled into the driveway of a mansion. I instantly looked back at her with a shocked expression and she shrugged with a small smile on her face.

I shook my head and got out of car, Andrew following me out and we circled the car to help them out. I opened the door for the blonde girl and she kept her eyes on me the entire time, watching to see if we were up to something. To ease her worries, I distanced myself from her and allowed her to get out of the car on her own.

She nodded and looked back to her friend and realized Andrew was already carrying her to the front door. She rolled her eyes and hurriedly walked to the front door so she could open it. The entire time, my gaze was trained on her thick thighs and legs as they crossed each other as she walked. The action was innocent and normal, but to me, I couldn't help but feel a layer of sweat start to form on my forehead.

Fuck she was killing me softly.

She finally opened the door and I could tell she warned Andrew to not touch the girl or anything in her house and he simply nodded. Then she turned her attention back to me and I smirked, slowly starting to stalk towards her.

"How are you?" I asked and she looked up at me with slight hesitation in her eyes

She shook her head ignoring the question and I instantly connected the dots.

"You've never heard a gun shot before have you?" I asked and leaned my head back to examine her complete body language this time

Again, she simply shook her head and when I took a step towards her, she took a step back. I stopped in my tracks not wanting to overstep boundaries and blew out a breath to keep myself calm.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to make sure you're okay." I whispered gently and once my breath hit the cool air, a small fog appeared

It was near fall and I could tell once it got colder, I'd have to make some readjustments to the penthouse. It was always freezing cold in there.

She nodded her head in response and her eyes held a more softer look now, one that tugged at my heart. She was so innocently pure and beautiful and it wanted me to protect her from anything harmful.

Suddenly I realized that I've went the whole night without knowing her name, so I slowly walked up to her, and this time she let me. I raise my hand slightly and she didn't even flinch as she intensively watched me. Once I noticed I had the green light, I caressed her face and I was right. Her skin was smooth and soft as if she bathed in oil and simultaneously both of our breath's hitched.

I smiled down at her as she looked up at me and soon after she tucked her lip between her teeth again. The action made me groan softly but I masked it quickly by clearing my throat.

"What's your name?" I asked softly, looking down at her with gentle eyes

She blinked a few times as if trying to believe this was a dream or not, but when I stroke my thumb across her cheek again, I saw her make her decision. Her lips parted slightly and she mumbled a name so delicately it could've been a whisper.

"Julia."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Agghhh they finally met!! It was about time wasn't it?

Do we want more of them for a few more chapters before the drama happens or do we want to jump straight into it?

Also, how do you feel about Navehya lying about her name??

Also (also) , any predictions on where those gunshots came from, or who they were aimed to?
