Scarlett POV:

After work today, I get home and take a hot shower. It's been three days since I've seen Mekhi. I was tempted to go to his grandfather's place but then changed my mind.

When I get out of the shower, I put on a purple dress with thin straps over my shoulders the bottom part flares out. It looks super cute on me. I find some heels and then finish getting ready.

When I go downstairs, Zane just gives me the eye. You know the look your dad gives you when you should probably take off what you got on and put on something else.

"I'll text you when I get there and again when I get ready to leave alright."

"Yeah you better."

I reach over and give him a hug. I go to the garage and grab the keys to black Dodge Charger, it's completely loaded.

When I get to the club, it's a different valet boy that takes the keys from me.

I go on in and go right to the dance floor. I dance for about an hour and then make my way through the crowd and sit at a table. The waitress comes by and hands me a drink. "This is on the house sweetheart."

"Excuse me?"

"From the guy over there." She points to the far corner in a VIP area. I follow her finger and there sits Mekhi. He has a drink in his hand and he tilts it in the air to sign 'welcome'.

I don't go over to him. Instead I drink the cocktail and then go back on the dance floor. I look over at him a few times, stealing glances to see if he is watching me. On the next song, I make my way to the bathroom. The line is crazy long and it's crazy up in here. I feel a hand come across the small of my back.

"Come with me." He whispers in my ear.

"I really have to go if I leave the line now I will have to wait longer."

"Come with me, you won't regret it." Mekhi is smiling at me.

"Alright but if I pee on you it's not my fault." I laugh.

He grabs my hand and pulls me through the crowd and up the stairs. He punches in a code and when the door opens he pulls me inside and shuts the door. We are in what looks like an office. He doesn't let go of my hand and continues to pull me to another room. "Here you go...no line."

When I look past him I see a bathroom. I smile at him. "Thanks." However he doesn't walk away.

"Uhm...I need a minute."

"Oh yeah of course ok." He turns around and leaves the door open.

I have to go so bad that I don't bother shutting the door. When I'm finished I wash my hands and go back to the front room. He is looking out a mirrored glass window. I walk over and look and you can see the whole dance floor from here.

"Wow nice view."

He looks at me from head to toe... "Yeah it is." He smirks.

"I meant the dance floor. So do you like know the owner or something?"

He laughs, "I am the owner; Club Temptation is mine."

"Oh wow, so are you here often?"

"Just every now and then if I'm really needed. I have six other clubs nearby to also look after."

"So you also have another job besides being an assassin. I thought you made enough money doing your other job."

He laughs, "This is like my dream, I love the music, and I love the people who come up in here."

"Interesting!"

"What?"

"You like people."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I'm just saying, that's all."

"What if I said I like you?"

"Really now, you don't even know me."

"Sure I do, I actually know quite a bit about you."

"Oh really, like what?"

"For starters you love to dance. You come her often. You are usually alone so I take it you don't have many friends if any. The big dude that was here a few times with you actually works for your father. You have your own business as a Mortician which is kind of odd but anyway, you love nice things like clothes, jewelry, the cars you drive and you know how to take care of yourself. Maybe that's why you don't have the body guard with you."

"Well then you little stalker you."

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Yeah ok."

"Would you like another drink?"

"Sure."

I thought he was going to make it himself, however he pushes a button and a young girl brings it to the door. She is trying to flirt with him but he shuts the door in her face.

"Now where were we?" He hands me the cocktail.

"So do you get that very often?" I laugh pointing to the door.

"You have no idea."

"So girls just throw themselves at you, because you're rich and freaking hot."

He smirks, "Both but mostly because I have money."

"Every girl wants money right?"

"Most of them do, not unless they already have it, but even then it's like they can't get enough."

"Uhm!"

"So where is your little guard dog anyway?"

"Who Atticus?"

"Yeah!"

"Well I told my dad that I can take perfectly good care of myself; we had a few words and so I've been going out by myself lately."

"Really you think he let you go out all by yourself?"

Yeah he trusts me, why do you know something?" I'm starting to second guess myself because what if I'm not really alone I just think that I am.

"No, I'm just saying if you were mine I wouldn't let you out of my sight."

"But I'm not yours." I finish off the drink and place the glass on the bar. "Thanks for the drink."

"You're leaving why?"

"Because you seem like all the other guys."

"What like Matt?" He puts his glass down and walks over to me. "I'm nothing like that asshole."

"So you don't want to just get into my panties."

"Well no....well not right now."

"See...that's your goal to find a way in there. I'm not looking for a quick fuck. I want more than that."

"Really a girl like you; you can't tell me you don't want the same thing. I mean don't get me wrong but you just don't seem the type that wants a relationship."

"Well maybe you don't know me after all." I reach for the door knob and his hand comes over on top of mine.

"Don't go."

"Are you keeping me hostage? I could literally hurt you," I hiss.

"Do you know who you're talking to; you know what I do for a living."

"Yeah and you know what I do, your point?"

"You just clean after people like me that leave shit behind."

"Believe what you want, I'm sure I could take you down."

"You probably could, I seen you in the alley. You took Matt down in no time. So where is he anyway; no one has seen or heard from him."

"I don't know, why are you asking me?" Really he saw me with Matt now I know that he know that I had something to do with his disappearance. Great just great.

"I think you do know, but don't worry I won't say anything."

"I'm not worried because I don't know where he is." I pull my hand away from him. "Like I said are you going to keep me trapped up in here?"

"No I have a better idea, let's go to the gym."

"Why?"

"So you can kick my ass," he smirks and opens the door. "There is one right around the block."

"I'm not really dressed to kick your ass."

"Whatever....what you got on is fine. I won't tell anyone if I see your panties."

"Ha-ha!" I slap him across the arm.
