As a writer I have gotten good at telling stories, but the problem is my mind is always going. I am always thinking of different stories, different scenarios, and things to include in my stories. Now I am very creative and prefer to write Fantasy, but the problem I keep running into is my real life, things aren't as kosher as my stories. 

For starters, my stories are always about a strong lead who has her shit figured out, me, not so much. I am currently living on my friends couch because I lost my job and got evicted. Now if this was a story the lead would be doing everything she could to figure out life. Me? I've been mopeing, depressed and my writing is suffering due to it.

"Jae, babe. You really have to get out of your head for a bit hun." Jessica, my best friend and the owner of the couch I am currently sleeping on comments from her recliner. We were currently watching some kind of movie. I couldn't even tell you what it was because my mind just wasn't focusing.

"I'm sorry Jess, I just can't seem to shake this funk. Am I broken or something? Like damn, nothing has shaken me as bad as this." I hate feeling this way but I can't seem to find the light right now.

"Oh babe, your far from broken. Maybe temporarily folded or something but not broken. Maybe instead of just sitting around we need to get out and do something?" she suggests, sitting up and looking a little more excited at the prospect of going out.

That was another downside to being so creative mentally, I'd rather stay home then go out. People make my head hurt, then again, going out does help get the creative juices flowing.

"I don't know Jess, part of me thinks going out could be good yet I just don't want to deal with people." I admit, not wanting to be a buzz kill but not really wanting to deal with people either.

"So, how about we hit up that new club that opened up and go dancing? Loud music, alcohol and you don't have to deal with people if your just dancing?" there it was, I knew that is what she wanted to do. She always wants to check out opening nights for clubs. I close my eyes and lay back against the couch debating.

"You know what, let's go. Dancing is a dam good way to blow off steam and to keep my mind focused on nothing instead of everything." I agree, finally deciding to try something new to get my mind back to normal.

We both get up with smiles and go to our own rooms, first things is an outfit. I go into my closet where my dresses are hung up. I go through a few until I come across the dress that Jess bought me for my birthday last year. It was a corset top with skirt attached, black lace over red velvet top and the skirt was the velvet red. It was short, tight and looked amazing on me, admittedly it is not something I normally wear. But I wanted to feel like one of my main charachters and try being sexy for once.

I lay the clothes on the bed before doing my hair, normally I would wear it down, but with tonight being part of their grand opening I knew it was going to be busy so I go with a high pony tail and braid a portion to wrap around my ponytail. My hair reaches the middle of my back, it has blonde on top, then a dark purple fades into a vibrant pink. Putting it up shows off the color more.

For makeup I don't go hog wild, I do a smoky eye with my purple, then my dark purple lipstick and some shimmer on my cheeks. Once I get dressed, I slip on my black high heeled pumps and go to find Jess.

She's filling up a flask that she hides on her garter belt when I come into the kitchen. I shake my head and make sure that I get my ID, some money and my phone in my clutch before she turns and catches me.

"Damn babe, what brought that outfit on tonight? Are you looking to get railed because holy hell you look hot!" she giggles taking a swig from the alcohol bottle before passing it to me. I take a swig without looking and the burn hits the back of my throat and I drink it down.

"Nah, not trying to get railed but I want to try feeling confident and sexy for once. I know you keep telling me I have a bangin body but I just don't see it myself and that is why I have zero confidence. I mean who wants to be with a boring person who writes smut for a living?" I throw out as I put the now empty bottle back on the cupboard, I wanted that warm comfroting burn and drinking a quarter of the 26 did just that.

"Trust me babe, your a catch and half." with a wink we leave the house, take a cab down to the new club. As I am getting out I scan the lineup and am in awe that there are so many people. The line up goes around the block and I am sure it keeps going after that too.

Jess leads me over to the bouncer, she gives her name and he lets us in. Leave it to Jess to become a VIP before the club is even fully open. She links her arm with mine as we walk in, the atmosphere seems almost hectic as the bar staff are swarmed at the upper and lower bars, people are all over, some dancing some observing but all in all with the music blasted it feels like a very energetic place.

We go to the top bar as there seems to be less people up here, but its still packed. Jess leads me through a group of people and up to the bar. We both order three shots each to start the night off. Once the shots are down, we push our way to the dance floor and I can feel the alcohol hitting nice as the buzz in my mind quiets down and I focus on the beat of the music and moving my body.

It doesn't take long until I feel a pair of hands on my waist, I spin around not appreciating the touching aspect and look up into a pair of amazing honey brown eyes. His clothes remind me of a frat boy, the player who gets all the girls. He gives me a lazy smile as he places his hands on my hips swaying with me.

Hmm, he is good looking maybe I should give in and enjoy this. Two seconds later that turned out to be the worst decision as his hands started roaming my body and he started all but grinding on me. I pushed his hands off my body and stepped away, but he reached out and pulled me back and held me up against his body.

"Calm down sexy, your hot as hell." he says loudly next to my ear, trying to be heard over the music. Again I pushed at him trying to get him to let me go, I was not having fun any more.

"No, leave me alone." I shout back, trying to no avail to get away. Frantically I search the dancefloor for Jess but I don't see her. Shit. I try again to get him to let go which makes him mad. He raises his hand like he is going to hit me and I flinch back waiting for the impact.

When I open my eyes I see a man in a suit and tie holding the mans hand back giving him a dirty look.

"This is my club, I will not tolerate your bullshit in my club." the man growls out as he squeezes the wrist of my assailant. The man's hands fall off my body as he is pulled away, I can see him flinch at the force of the other man's grip. The man in the suit tosses the other man to a bouncer who all but carries him out of the club. He comes back over to me and gestures to the lower bar.

I go over with him and he helps me sit down, he holds up two fingers to the bartender who nods and gets to work mixing drinks. He turns to me and gives me a brilliant smile before extending his hand.

"My name is Max, I am the owner of this club. I want to apologize for that mans behaviour." he waits for me to shake his hand, so I do and smile shyly.

"Jae, thank you for stepping in. You can't control how your guests act, I am just glad someone stopped him." the bartender slides two drinks in front and Max pushes one towards me. I smile and take a tenitive sip, unsure of what drink it is, and the familiar taste of rum hits my tongue.

"Well Jae, allow me to cover your drinks for this evening." he gives me a wink and I blush. Now in one of my stories the main would flirt back and maybe even have a one night with such a handsome man. My awakward ass just sat there and blushed.

"Oh you don't have to do that." I floundered for something to say, he just shook his head at me.

"Oh I know, but for such a beautiful woman I want to." he was smooth, I would give him that. I don't know if it was the alcohol I drank before coming here mixed with the shots but I decided to be bold tonight.

"Well thank you, coming from yourself that is a mighty compliment. I mean I am sure you could have any woman you would like." I smiled placing a hand on his arm, he placed his hand on mine and gave it a bit of a squeeze.

"Then its a good thing I am sitting flirting with the most beautiful woman in this club. in hopes of tasting those volumptious lips." well damn, if that isn't a way to get into my panties then I don't know what is. I giggled at him and took a sip of my drink.

"Well then what's stopping you from tasting them?" I seductively asked, my heart was pounding in my chest,  I am sure my hands were sweaty and my stomach was tied in knotts. I have never been out of my element so bad as I am right now, not only am I dressed like a hooker but I'm going to have my first ever one night stand with the club owner. Oh god what was I thinking? I Can't do it.

But before I can say no, Max has taken my hand and helped me stand and is leading me to the side door of the club. We exit and the cool breeze caresses my skin, I shiver and Max takes off his suit jacket and wraps it around my shoulders as he pulls me closer to his body and wraps an arm around me.

"Let's take this back to mine." he leads me to a limo, opens the door and he helps me in. Once the door is closed, he relays to go home to the driver then puts up the window for some privacy. My nerves have skyrocketed so bad now, I am regreating every decision that has led me here tonight. Who am I kidding? I am a boring plain woman who needs to just stick to imagining an exciting life.

"Now Jae, please tell me with words, that you are okay with this. I am a lot of things, but I will never force a woman. Ever." he stresses, he must see how nervous I am right now. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, this is what I wanted to experience, wasn't it? Did I want to be like a charachter in a book or just be me?

"Sorry, I am not the kind of person to do one night stands, like ever." I admit, putting my head down in shame. His fingers lightly grasp my chin, making me look at him.

"We don't have to little one, you make the rules and I will follow. Even if I just get to know you tonight. I meant it when I said you are the most beautiful woman I have seen." he smiles which eases my nerves a bit.

"I want to, I want to be more out there and do spontaneous things. Long story short I've had some mishaps in my life and feel stuck in a rut. I'm trying to be more confident but I'm a shy and basic person trying to be something I'm not" he smiles and takes my hand, kissing the back.

"Then why don't we go back to mine, we can sit and drink some wine and talk does that sound like a plan?" I smile feeling better everytime this man opens his mouth. God he is almost perfect, his looks are that straight out of a romance novel and he is caring, considerate and being sweet. So I agree, quickly texting Jess to let her know I have left and won't be home tonight.

With that we talk the whole drive back to his large three story house, it is absolutely stunning and very victorian styled but upkept and very well maintained. We drank wine until two in the morning, more then tipsy we made our way to his bedroom.

The drink and comfort level we have established left me wanting him, and he wants me for me. I told him that I am a writer, turns out he has read some of my books and is a fan, he was even okay just cuddling. But once we got into bed I wanted more, and he kept true to his word and let me lead.

I fell asleep in his arms, fully sated, happy and content for the first time in forever. 

I woke the next morning disoriented and confused, why was I laying on the couch in Jessica's apartment and where did Max go? Groaning at the stiffness in my neck I sit up and stretch out the sore muscles. God that was such an amazing night, and the sex oh my gosh.

"Good morning Jae babe! How was your sleep?" Jess asks coming into the living room with two cups of coffee. I was confused, which really didn't help my half asleep position.

"I don't know. Did we go dancing last night?" I ask taking my coffee cup from her outstretched hand.

"Uhh no hun, you crashed out watching the movie so I went to bed. Why?" she is just as confused as I am. So it was all a dream? Wow what a fantasy.

"Oh well, that dream seemed so real then I thought it actually happened." I laughed, realization dawned on her and she laughed at me.

"Now that we know it was a dream I was going to ask if you wanted to come with me tonight, there is this new club called Stargazers that is opening up and I signed to be VIP member." she seemed hesitant at first but after that dream I realized I need to get my own ass motivated and get my life back.

"Yes, I want to go. I need to stop sulking and start getting back out there because lets face it, I can't couch surf for ever." she giggles and agrees.

"You know it babe, lets go get pedicures and a massage and just spend the day shopping. My treat because I know you are struggling, then we will go out tonight and have a blast." I smiled feeling a renewed outlook on life, all thanks to a fantasy about a sexy man. Hmmm, maybe I can use this for my next book. With that, we go up and ready to go spend a girls day together.

The End!
