New York city, the Big Apple as so many call it. Good place to visit, and good place to live for some. Just all depended upon your own needs, and the variables you ran into in your life. But, that's beside the point really. This story really starts off with Gregory. Working as an accountant, he had a fairly decent life. Enough to get him a nice apartment, keep himself living well, and have the extra money to go out and have some fun from time to time. If he didn't go out from time to time though, the job would probably drive him batty. And so we join Gregory as he makes his way toward his favorite night spot.

Gregory would be making his way down the rather loud New York city street. The male running one hand through his raven black hair, looking ahead of him as his shoes tapped lightly against the sidewalk. He was dressed fairly well. A nice black collared shirt which buttoned up about four buttons down his chest. Black pants also clad his form, held up by a braided leather belt. All the black on him contrasted slightly with his skin, a bit pale. But that was just part of his Irish heritage. Not like he really had a lot in him from that. Most it got him was his emerald green eyes, and a sun burn just about every summer. He was a decent sized guy, 6'2" and obviously he worked out with the way his shirt fit to him, so he wasn't as worried as some would be to walk alone at night in this place. However, it wasn't like his place was that far away.

Stopping for a moment, he would look to the club he planned to go into. The line was somewhat long this evening, must be packed in there for so many to be outside. Plenty of them even hot women who would normally get in without a moments notice. It was an odd thing, but he personally wasn't worried. He had been friends with one of the bouncers of the place since they were in grade school, so all he had to do was just slip the guy a twenty and everything would be fine. He would start to make his way past the line, taking his somewhat worn leather jacket from over his shoulder, and moving to carry it with one arm now.

He looked over those in the line as he passed by. Taking the time to see if anyone he knew was in line who he could try to get in maybe. He knew he would personally have a better time if plenty of his buddies were at the club with him. Not to mention, for an extra bill or two, he knew he could convince his bouncer buddy to let in a lady of his choosing from the line. That is though if there were any that fit his taste. Otherwise he was planning to head straight inside.
 
Though this sometimes beautiful city could be a marvelous distraction for some and even more of a wonderful home for those that chose to live their life out here, to some it was more of a big pain in the ass. There were plenty in the city that had made wonderful lives for themselves and everything, but to some making it by was just about as much as they could do. Not to mention the crime rate in the city was higher than most of the other places in the Nation, so it was difficult to find a safe home in the Big Apple, for sure. It was definitely not always as wonderful as people had made it out to really be and that was how one particular woman felt tonight after having a particularly rough day.

Her name was Scarlett Jonson, and things that day had not been going so well for her. With her exotic and unique looks she got herself into quite a lot of trouble most of the time in this city of sin. A lot of men wanted a piece of her and the majority of the time, she did feel the same way. Today, it had been her own boss who had called her into his office and tried to feel her up that morning. She declined his offer and nearly got fired, but thanks to a friend in the office who had gone through the same thing with that boss, she managed to help Scarlett come up with a case against him for sexual harassment and with his track record, it would certainly be hard to defend against in court.

So there she was that night, standing in one of the longest lines for one of the best clubs in the city and she was slightly starting to get irritated because she wanted a drink and time to relax. She had been planning on meeting friends here tonight, but they had canceled because of a last minute office emergency, so Scarlett was stuck by herself tonight. She sighed softly as she ran a pale slender hand through her red silky hair that had been curled that night so she could look a little bit better than she normally did with her wavy hair. She was dressed in a tight little green dress that was a halter top dress and exposed a lot of skin across her back and as well as her shapely legs. She wore matching green high heels and had left her legs bare for tonight instead of adding stockings to this outfit. She really wasn't interested much in picking up any guys, but she just liked to look nice for when she went out, so she had definitely put some effort into it.

She really wasn't the kind of girl who liked to wear a lot of make up, so tonight she was wearing pink lip gloss that made her lush lips shine seductively and a bit of eyeliner and mascara. For a girl with her looks, she really didn't need much to accentuate her beauty. Her natural red hair and pale smooth skin that was like smooth cream were all that she really needed to entice men to her. But that normally wasn't part of her plan. Tonight she was just here to get a few drinks and relax for a while.
 
Gregory continued his way down the line, slowly combing his view over the gathered crowd. There were a few good looking women here and there he could talk to, but Gregory wasn't going to pick just anyone out of the line to go to the club with him. Had to be someone gorgeous for him to be able to justify bringing her inside when he was bribing his way in, only way his buddy wouldn't charge him even more to get her in the door. Just didn't seem to be a lot to his taste really. Not to mention have to make sure not to pick a chick who is already here with someone. Sure they'll get your attention to get in, then you have to deal with either the guy she was with pissed at you for stealing his date, or pissed at you for trying to steal his date but you get nothing out of it. Life was a gambit, but one knew at least to learn from experience.

Fiery red hair catching his eye as he would stop in his tracks. Turning, he would tilt his head as he looked over the lady for a moment through the small crowd also in line with her. Taking in her features, looking down over her form, then back up to her face. Well, she was a step away from the usual fair, well at this club at least. The attire was interesting as well. She wore it well, though again it seemed just slightly out of place at this club. Though all the more reason for her to catch the eye of someone. Best he could tell that dressed up, was most likely here with someone, or to meet someone. Normally that would be a deal breaker there, after all not like she would have any business with him then. But still, she seemed to be the only good choice out of the group who was around now. Moving to stand at the rope on the side of the line, he would motion to try and get her attention.

"Hey miss! Come here could ya? Want to go ahead inside?" He waited for any response. "Go on in there, meet whatever person you've got yourself so dolled up for?" He smiled, standing there and waiting. Heck, she might not even think he was talking to her at first. But was of course worth a shot, and maybe he would find exactly if she was here with anyone. He had come here to have fun, maybe she wouldn't mind some drinking company at the very least.
 
Scarlett was almost ready to just go back home and have a few beers at home instead of paying to get into this club and then paying for expensive alcohol, but she had really wanted to come and hang out for a while and listen to the music so that she could relax since it had been a stressful day at work. She was just wondering at this point if she perhaps should just go home and relax there because it didn't much seem as if she was going to get into the club anytime soon. And as that thought ran through her mind, she looked up again at the line and sighed, ready to step out of the line. As soon as she almost did, ready to walk away and be done with it for tonight, she heard a voice and she wondered whose it belonged to before she looked around and saw a guy who was looking at her.

She was slightly confused for a moment because she didn't think he could be talking to because she didn't really know the man, but boy was he sure gorgeous. With those green eyes and dark hair, but why wasn't he already with someone in the first place? That didn't quite make sense to her because she was sure that there were plenty of women in this world that would love to take that guy home with them.

Scarlett shook the thoughts from her mind as she decided that she should answer his question and just really hope that he was talking to her. Not that it would be a complete shock a man like that talking to a woman like her, but she still felt as if he should be looking at someone else instead of her. Quite an odd kind of response to a man like that, but perhaps she just didn't think she was that gorgeous to draw this kind of man's attention.

"Well, I mean if you can get me in that would be fantastic, but I am really not meeting anyone here tonight, so it really isn't a big deal" she said to him. It truly wasn't that big of a deal if she couldn't get in because of the fact that she just could go home and relax there, but she would surely be feeling bummed out about it. She had definitely wanted to come here and relax, so if this gorgeous guy could get her in than what the hell? Her friends had bailed on her anyways, so it didn't really matter if she went with him inside.
 
He would give a warm smile to her reaction of his offer. A small chuckle given, and he would hold a hand out to greet her. Looking her over one more time before giving a nod. His green eyes locking with hers, tilting his head as he looks to her and speaks now.

"I see. Well then you're free to come in with me then. If you want to hang out when you get inside up to you. But I'll get you in no problem, and certainly would enjoy a bit of company myself while we're there." He would wait for her next response. One hand moving to run through his hair, it cut short but thick. Running down to rub his own shoulder lightly before dropping again. Waiting to hear her response as he stood there.

He really was surprised that she wasn't here with anyone. Pretty thing like her usually did have a guy or two following them about. But if she was by herself, all the better. Seemed that she was more than ready to at least go into the club with him, which certainly was nice. She was a looker, and was always nice to have someone that good looking on your arm anywhere. Plus was obvious she was actually nice from how she responded. Helped to know such things when you could.

"That is, if you're absolutely sure you would like to go in there with me?"
 
Scarlett shrugged her shoulders at the man because he seemed a little bit odd besides the fact that he was absolutely gorgeous. Hmmmm, and why was he asking her in the first place if she was absolutely sure that she wanted to go with him? She found that a little odd that he was even questioning her about that. Was there a good reason that she really shouldn't? That was somewhat suspicious of the man, but she didn't really get the feeling from him that he was evil. Ha, or maybe her instincts were becoming rusty because she hadn't sensed that from her boss either and he turned out to be a scumbag. She didn't really think that this man was like some crazy pyscho wanting to murder her or anything like that, so why did it matter?

"Yes, I would love to go inside with you!" she said with a warm smile. For a moment, she was unsure about putting her hand in his for some odd reason and then she placed her hand in his and wrapped her fingers around his hand softly. Scarlett's skin was almost uncommonly soft to the touch and it felt like you were touching smooth and soft velvet instead of skin. She moved over to the red rope that was supposed to keep people in a line and she let go of the man's hand and while holding her skin down, ducked under the rope.

Scarlett was a little surprised to find that he was quite taller than she was and she hadn't realized that before. It was rather unnerving that he was that much taller than her, but she found that she also liked it. She wasn't normally the type to admit it because she was a rather independent kind of girl and she liked her life that way, well, at least, for the most part, she did. Sure, there were times that she wished someone would come along and take control about certain parts of her life for the most part, but she never really admitted that kind of thing to herself, let alone anyone else.
 
Gregory would give a smile as she agreed and stepped from her place in line. Giving a nod to her as he helped her out of the line. Offering his arm to escort her up to the front once she was on the outside of the rope. She was a looker alright, if nothing else he knew that he could pick out a gorgeous female any day. Of course, most guys would say that. She certainly fit his tastes though, and really that's what mattered in this instance. Once she was ready, he would start leading her to the front weather she took his arm or not.

"Well, good to hear then. I'm surprised you were standing in line anyways. Woman with your looks could jump to the front and just get in most likely. I guess bouncers don't always have good taste though." He would give a light chuckle, tilting his head to look at her as they walked the short distance to the front of the line now. His hands were more rough than hers, but obviously he still took care of himself in compared to a lot of guys. Not like he spent all day in front of a mirror, that would just be odd. But he did like to keep himself fairly well groomed, especially when going out. As they came to the front of the line, he would smile to the bouncer there.

"Hey, Tony. How's it going?" He would offer a handshake to the bouncer, the person smiling and accepting it as the cover and extra money would exchange hands as well unseen by most who weren't close by at least. With the transaction done, the bouncer would move the red rope aside for the two of them to go in now. The sound of the dance music inside even more obvious as they came to the entrance. Giving a smile to the woman now, he would tilt his head.

"So now that we're past that, I'm Gregory. Nice to meet you." He would smirk, giving a slight chuckle. They hadn't even exchanged names yet, and here they were about to go into a club together.
 
Scarlett walked inside with him and wondered silently what kind of relationship him and the bouncer had because Scarlett had very sharp eyes and she could see the money being exchanged as they shook hands. She was very surprised that the bouncer just let him walk in like that with a date on his arm. Or whatever she could be called. Scarlett hadn't taken his arm because of the simple fact that she didn't really know him, even if she felt an intense sort of attraction towards him, it didn't mean that she was his date. He had just asked her if she would like to get in and obviously he could get any girl he wanted in for the night, but she wondered why he had chosen her of all women.

She sighed as she walked inside and saw all of the people as usual and decided that it was going to be a bummer of a night tonight because she was just going to have a few drinks and head home. She didn't really have work tomorrow, so she was thankful for that, but she had work the day after that and she was almost dreading that. She really didn't want to go back to work with that awful boss of hers.

She heard the man say his name and it snapped her out of her thoughts as she looked over at him, having to look up a little and she smiled softly. "Oh, sorry, my name is Scarlett. Nice to meet you too, Gregory." she said softly. She thought absentmindedly that perhaps she could dance a little bit and have a little fun to roll off the stress of her job before she called it a night.
 
Gregory would look about the booming club, the music was hit or miss here, but it was always a good time at least. Of course, he just had very specific tastes in music. He looked to Scarlet with a smile as she did tell him her name now. Giving a nod, and extending his hand in greeting. "Good to meet you then Scarlet. Don't think I've seen you around here. Would think I'd notice a woman as good looking as you are. Maybe I'm just getting rusty lately." He would give a good natured chuckle.

Taking a moment to run a hand through his hair, he looked over the club. Surprisingly, despite the amount of people in the place, the bar had only a few people sitting at it chatting. Most people out on the dance floor, or in the VIP area. He would look to Scarlet, giving a smile as he motioned to the bar. "Want to get a drink to start out the night? My treat as well." He would wait for her response, taking a moment to look her over. Making sure not to stare at any one area too long. Didn't want her thinking he was a complete pervert. Sure, he was a guy and one couldn't help but take a good look at a woman who was such an eye catcher.

The club itself quite an extravagant place. Always fairly full of people, and open almost every night. Color, lights, and sounds of the club scene assaulted the senses. It was obviously quite an extravagant place.
 
Scarlett looked to him as he offered to buy her a drink and she wondered slightly why this man was being as nice as he was. It was rather odd to her because most of the men in her life were so unkind, so it was an unfamiliar change to her. She wasn't sure if she wanted to agree to it or not, but she decided that maybe it would be nice to have company that night. Or perhaps it would turn out badly, but she thought that it couldn't really turn out too bad at this point. "Sure, why not?" she replied. There was absolutely nothing wrong with letting a nice man buy her a drink, right? She didn't think so at this point, so it wasn't that hard to do right now. She just couldn't find reasons not to let the man buy her a drink, so there was no point in acting prudish or rude to him after he had gotten in. And the simple fact that he was devastatingly handsome also helped out quite a bit as well.

She walked over to the bar and sat down on one of the bar stools and she waited for the man named Gregory to join her. She thought about how she rather liked his name and how it seemed very classy and elegant somehow. It was a very nice name indeed. She sighed as she looked around slightly and really wanted to dance as well have drinks that night as well.
 
Gregory would give a warm smile to her, giving a faux bow as he would make his way into the bar area. Moving to pull her stool out a bit for her before he would move to take his own. He was quite pleased she had joined him. Sure, he could find someone else around here if she had decided not to join him, but she was definitely the most attractive one in the place as far as he was concerned. Waving over the bar tender, he would give a smile and nod.

"Could you get me a Fat Tire, and whatever the lady here would like. Start me up a tab." He would slide his debit card to the bar tender. Looking to Scarlett as he would wait for her to make her drink request. Moving to lean one elbow on the bar, and tilting his head as he would look her over. Once she had ordered, he would attempt to start up some conversation.

"So, what in the world is a gorgeous woman like you doing without a date anyway? Have to say I was surprised when you didn't flat out turn me down." He chuckled lightly.
 
Scarlett chuckled softly at his words as she ordered a beer. She wasn't sure that she was in the mood to have hardcore liqiuor tonight. She shrugged softly at his words and she thanked the bartender as she got her beer. She took a couple sips of her beer before she answered his question. She looked around the club and sighed softly as she saw a lot of the people dancing and then she looked back at him. "Well, to be honest, I was supposed to come here with friends, but they have to work tomorrow and everything, so they decided not to come tonight. I wanted to come anyways, so I just came without anyone. Wasn't really expecting to meet anyone here, but hey, whatever. Sometimes it is nice to have company when you are not expecting it, ya know?" she said.

She wasn't used to just meeting strange men places and taking things up with them or even really having conversations with them. She loved to watch criminal shows and she knew that too many men were out there that could be killers or rapists and that you had to be careful about who you were interacting with. It was just something that she knew she had to be careful about because of the weirdos out there and everything, so she could be quite cautious at certain times and she was trying to be with this man as well as friendly because you really could never tell who was a psycho these days.
 
Gregory would smile, giving a nod as he would take a deep drink from his beer. Taking down a good quarter of it at first, after all it was a Fat Tire, the thing was smooth as water in his opinion. He watched her, noting her look out over the crowd of dancers. A good indicator there if one ever had seen one. Long ago Gregory had learned that sometimes knowing what a woman wanted was just as simple as paying attention to how she acted. Sure, he couldn't say he was an expert, but some things just made since. Taking another swig of his beer, he would set it down as he gave her a smile.

"Ah, I see. Well glad that I got you in here then. Would be a shame if you hadn't gotten a chance to drink or dance tonight. I do know what you mean. Can't say I was coming here expecting to really talk with anyone. Just like coming here to blow off some steam after the work week. Nice to get out of the office every once in a while." Another sip of his beer, and he looked out over the dance floor for a moment, before looking back to her with a friendly smile.

"Speaking of such though, you want to dance? Won't say I'm the best ever, but if you're up for it would love to." He would tilt his head, waiting for a response from her. "Or we could wait till we finish these beers first." He would give a chuckle, hoping he had read the little look over the dance floor of hers right.
 
Scarlett was slightly surprised that he was able to read her that well and that he could obviously tell that she wanted to dance. She was not quite so used to people being able to read her quite so well and that was just a bit of a shock then to hear him ask those words. She knew that even though he was a stranger, she wanted to dance with him. There was something dark and mysterious about him that made him so appealing and perhaps if she were thinking straight about the situation, she would realize that most men like that were dangerous in certain ways. They could definitely be playboys and Scarlett stayed away from those men with a vengeance. She didn't like those types of men at all, and because of that she could normally spot one ten miles away. When she had been younger, it hadn't been so easy and with a girl like her who had knockout looks, there had been plenty of playboys getting into her pants and breaking her heart.

The other kinds of men that were dark and mysterious were the kind that were dangerous in the sort of way to a woman's safety in general. It was New York, after all, and things were always a bit more dangerous in this city than they are anywhere else, so most women tried to look out for themselves or else they got hurt. It wasn't always easy to look out for yourself if you are an attractive young woman with a successful career, but she did her best to do so.

The real question was whether or not this man was one of those kinds and she wasn't sure for once. That thought was slightly a bit surprising and a bit more than scary, but why shouldn't she at least dance with him and have a good time? She sighed softly, which no one could hear, but her and she looked at him with her beautiful green eyes that sparkled and she nodded. "Sure, I would love to dance." she said. She took off her jacket and put it down on the stool she was sitting on and got off the stool to go over to the dance floor. Once she was there, she started to dance and she was quite good at it as she twirled her slender, but curvy hips in a provocative manner while she kept her eyes on him. She slowly started to move her hands across her waist and hips and then up her stomach and brushed her palms across her breasts as she kept her eyes concentrated on him.
 
Gregory gave a smile to her, giving a nod as he would stand. Offering his hand again to lead her over if she wished to take it. Either way heading with her over to the dance floor. His eyes scanning over her form as she walked, meeting her eyes as they came to the dance floor. He himself was glad she had agreed to come into the club with him, and dance even on top of that. Happily his intuition had served him well so far. Hopefully it would keep up for the night. He doubted she would want to head back to his place or anything, they had just met after all. Sure, he had to admit he wouldn't mind getting to know her better, more intimately even at some point even. However, time would tell if that would happen or not. Never one to just up and expect such to happen.

He would move to dance with her, not the best dancer in the world, or the most complicated steps, but he could certainly hold his own at least. Fairly common dance music on at the moment, the place playing a combination of house, hip hop, and other music to dance to. Not his taste really, but not like one could usually dance to classic rock anyways. His eyes kept on her the entire time, staying on hers. After a time moving his hands to her shoulders, and eventually hips. Leading more so as they went, keeping pace with her very well actually. Obviously knowing quite a bit more about dancing with someone than just on his own. He was still a guy after all.
 
Scarlett smirked softly as she turned around and pressed her slight body against him with her back to his chest. She made sure that her round bottom was pressed into his groin and she slowly leaned her body into his as she twisted her hips and started to grind her bottom against his groin. She knew that she was at the very least attracted to this man and that was enough for her to start sliding her body down on his and rubbing her back and bottom against the front of his body very sensually. She lifted one hand to rest against the back of his neck and the other she ran across her body seductively because she really didn't often do things like this, but something about him made her feel like it was okay. They were in a club with a lot of people doing it around them, so she didn't really think much of her doing this.
 
Gregory gave a smile as she turned about and pressed back against him. A bit surprised at just how forward the dance moves were, though really it wasn't all that uncommon. Looking around and seeing the majority of the other couples about doing similar dances themselves. He would just give a smirk. One of his arms now moving to wrap about her waist and holding her form snugly back against his own. His other hand sliding up her arm that had moved up to his shoulders and neck. Hand sliding till it was resting upon the woman's wrist.

His hips moving in tandem with hers now, keeping the same rhythm and pace in the motions. His arms putting a bit of pressure to guide her to move down closer to the floor, and back up. All the while the both of them swaying their hips throughout the dance. Truth be told he wasn't the best of dancers, and he certainly knew this. But damn if he wasn't going to try when he knew she did want to dance. He certainly was putting some thought and effort into it for him.

She was gorgeous, but there were plenty of good looking women here, and out in the line that he could have picked from. Something had made him zero in on her though, and so far he was quite glad that he had really. It was quite nice to find someone who did meet his personal tastes so well though.
