So things like this would stop happening.” I stood up and turned my back toward him. My face burned with pain and my hands were shaking. I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and I looked. Now it was Kyle’s turn to look at me with sympathy.
“We both had it rough,” he whispered. I nodded and looked at the grandfather clock.
“I have to work,” I said. He pulled his hand away and stepped away. I looked at him for a minute and smiled. “Would you like to come with me?”
“You want me to go with you? To your job?” he asked confused.
“It’s not a normal job,” I said smiling.
“Well where do you work?” he asked.
“There is only one way to find out,” I said challenging him. He rocked in his heels and sighed.
“Fine,” he said motioning for me to go first.
“Marcos! I’m going to work! Kyle’s coming with me!” I yelled to Marcos.
“Alright! Be safe and have fun! Tell Cameron I said hello!” Marcos answered.
“How can someone have fun at work?” Kyle asked.
“There is a lot you must learn about me,” I said smiling.
“I’m starting to see that,” he said pushing his hair out of his face. I laughed and opened the door. James was already waiting with my door opened. Kyle’s eyebrows rose when he caught sight of the white limo. I laughed harder.
“Like I said, there is a lot you don’t know about me. But you will soon learn,” I said pulling him forward by his arm. James bowed as I approached him.
“Good evening Miss Serena. How are you?” James said smiling politely.
“Fine. How have you been James? I missed you last week,” I told him.
“The wife has been sick for a few days but she is back on her feet,” he said.
“That’s good to hear. This is a new friend of mine. His name is Kyle,” I said motioning to the tall figure beside me. James bowed politely.
“Any friend of Miss Serena’s is a friend of mine,” James said and I smiled. “We must be on our way now Miss Serena.”
“Your right,” I said. I climbed in and slid across the large seat so Kyle could get in. He climbed and gave me a look as James closed the door behind him. “I’m not normal. You’ll have to learn the hard way.”
“Darn. I thought we were going to attempt to take this easy,” he said sarcastically. I smiled as we drove off.

Chapter Two

When we got there, the front door was packed with people. There were six bouncers tonight which were four more bouncers than usual. James opened the door and let Kyle and me out.
“It’s always a pleasure Miss Serena,” James said. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
“Thank you,” I said. I grabbed Kyle by the arm and walked up to the bouncers. They all looked at me and smiled. I couldn’t help but smile back. I knew the guys well. They were all brothers of Cameron, though Cameron was the youngest and he owned the place.
“Hey Serena. Where have you been?” Charles asked me. Charles was Cameron’s favorite and oldest brother.
“I’ve been around. This is Kyle. Today is bring a friend to work day,” I said smiling. Charles smiled back and let me and Kyle behind the red ropes. Music blasted so loud that we could actually feel the beat of the music under our feet. I pulled Kyle through the crowd to the back room. Cameron sat tiredly on the long white couch. He looked up at me as I opened the door and closed it behind Kyle. He was wearing a button up white shirt and a pair of black jeans.
“Yes. You’re here. Thank god,” Cameron said, pulling himself to his feet.
“I told you I was coming tonight. Plus, you sent James. What choice did I have?” I said walking up to him. He chuckled but it sounded weak. “This is Kyle.”
“Boyfriend of the month or just a random dance partner?” Cameron asked.
“Just a friend you moron,” I said.
“It’s really hard to tell now a day. They all look the same. Quiet and shy. That’s how you like them. Which is why you chose to not be with me,” he said shrugging. I rolled my eyes and pushed him back on the couch.
“What do you need me to do?” I asked standing in front of him. He looked up at me and closed his eyes.
“Melody is sick and she needs a replacement singer and when you’re done with that, Alex needs some help at the bar. Do you think you can manage?” he asked without opening his eyes.
“I can handle it. Get some rest or a drink. Either or,” I said.
“And miss you sing? Not gonna happen,” he grinned, his eyes still shut.
“It’s not my first performance here,” I said annoyed.
“But you get hotter each time,” I rolled my eyes and looked at Kyle. He stood awkwardly by the door, staring at the floor. I walked to where Kyle stood and gently touched his arm. He looked me in the eyes.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him. He shook his head and straightened himself.
“How long have you been torturing him?” Cameron asked from behind me.
“I didn’t torture him,” I said.
“That’s what you think,” Cameron said.
“Want to dance?” I asked Kyle. He shrugged and I grabbed his hand.
“What time is the show?” I asked Cameron.
“Half an hour. Save me a dance,” he said smirking.
“Sure. In your dreams,” I said pulling Kyle from the room. I pulled him to the center if the crowd and we danced for a while. Kyle was a great dancer. I wouldn’t have thought he had it in him. We danced to four songs before heading to the bar for drinks.
“You’re a good dancer,” Kyle yelled over the music.
“I was just gonna say the same thing to you. That was fun,” I said waving a hand at Alex who nodded my way. His way of saying ‘I’ll be right there’.
“I haven’t been somewhere like this since my last girlfriend,” he said.
“And when was that?” I asked.
“Two years,” he answered. I raised my eyebrows in disbelief.
“That’s way too long,” I said shaking my head. He chuckled.
“Hello my love. What can I get you tonight,” Alex said in his smooth English accent.
“Two waters please,” I said.
“Coming right up,” he said. He turned around and pulled two waters from a mini fridge behind him. He handed them to me and winked before attending to a group of females whispering at the end of the bar.
“You’re much known here,” Kyle said taking the water I was holding out for him. I shrugged and took a sip from the bottle.
“Cameron is a close friend of mine and he owns the place,” I said. Alex came over and tapped me on the shoulder.
“You're up, my love,” he said pointing to the stage. I nodded and smiled.
“I’ll wait here,” Kyle said, sitting on a bar stool. I smiled and pushed through the crowd. I climbed on the stage and said hi to the band. On guitar were Emily and Chase. On drums was Matthew and on base was Josh. Melody winked from back stage. I smiled and turned to the mike.
“How are we feeling tonight,” I yelled to the crowd. They screamed in return. “Unfortunately sweet Melody is sick so I will be helping her out. Is that ok with you guys?”
They cheered and clapped. I smiled and waved at Kyle. Matthew started in the drums and I sang on key to the beat as the others joined in. We did three songs before we switched back to the DJ. Cameron and Kyle were waiting for me at the stairs of the stage.
“Amazing. As usual,” Cameron said grinning ear to ear.
“That was amazing,” Kyle said.
“Thanks. I’ll do an hour at the bar. Then we’ll head home,” I told Kyle.
“You two live in the same house now? I guess the game is on,” Cameron said.
“Grow up,” I said, shaking my head.
“Give me a reason to,” he said. I pushed past Cameron and walked to the bar. Alex nodded my way and I smiled. I slipped behind the counter and walked to two guys who had just sat down.
“What can I get you guys?” I asked.
“Two beers and your number,” one said. He was muscular and his blonde hair curled around his face.
“Two beers. Coming right up,” I said, ignoring the last part. “Alex. Two beers.”
“I got it,” he answered. He handed me two glass bottles and I set it down in front of the two guys.
“Anything else,” I asked. I looked at both guys and they looked very familiar. I shook my head and waited for a response.
“Do you have private shows?” the guy that first spoke said. The other guy that didn’t speak a word punched his friend in the arm. The voice sounded familiar and I couldn’t remember who it belonged to.
“Have a nice night guys,” I said walking away to an impatient girl waving urgently at me. I poured her and her friends drinks but I was watching the familiar guys. Cameron sat at a stool in front of me, following my gaze.
“Are you shopping already? Jeez, give Kyle a chance. He’s a pretty cool kid,” he said.
“I think I know those guys. I just can’t remember who they are,” I said ignoring his comment.
“From the looks of it, they’re pretty important. You’ll figure it out,” he said. I pulled my eyes away from the guys long enough to see Cameron lighting a cigarette.
“I need to leave. I have class tomorrow,” I lied.
“Ok. Need a ride?” he asked exhaling a gust of smoke in my face. I faked a cough and pushed the smoke out of my face.
“Sure. Thanks. Who’s gonna be in charge here?” I asked.
“Alex. Who else?” Cameron said. “Be right back. Get your boy toy,” he said walking away. I found Kyle talking to Chase and Emily. He gave me a half smile when he saw me coming.
“Ready to go?” I asked him. He nodded and followed me out the back door. We stood in the alley and waited for Cameron.
“Did you enjoy yourself?” I asked. I leaned on the side of the brick building, with my arms wrapped around me to fight against the cold.
“Yeah. It’s a nice club. Thanks for letting me tag along,” he said. He looked at me and quickly unzipped his sweater. He handed it to me and I thanked him. I slid the sweater over my shoulders. It looked big on me and he began to chuckle. Cameron came out and looked me up and down. He shook his head but didn’t say a word. We followed Cameron to his car. I slid in the back and Kyle sat in the passenger seat. We drove for a few minutes before Cameron looked past me.
“We’re being followed,” Cameron said.
“Don’t worry. Keep driving. I know who it is,” I said. It was the two guys from the bar. Though I don’t remember who they are, I figured they weren’t at the club to have a nice time. Cameron gave me a strange look but continued driving.
“Remember those two guys at the bar?” I asked. Cameron nodded and gave Kyle a look.
“Just drop me off in the front. Take Kyle to the back and don’t leave until I say,” I ordered Cameron. He nodded and handed me a small bag. We pulled up in front of the house. I climbed out and
