"Lighten up will you."

I pulled my eyes away from the bright cell phone screen to look up at my blonde friends face.
Somehow I had let her talk me into coming to this absurdly crowded trendy night club when all I wanted to do was be home snuggling with the love of my life.

"He'll be fine, Ari. Have some fun and stop checking your phone."

I sighed, flipping my hair off my bare shoulder before pushing off of the stool I was seated in.

My hands running over the light fabric of my very short dress before I forced a smile on my face and nodded at Kendra.

She grinned at me and handed me a drink I hadn't realized she was holding before nudging me in the direction of the dance floor. "Go dance. Have fun. Stop worrying."

I took a sip of the fruity drink, tasting the alcohol, before holding it back out to her. "Ken, I can't drink. I have the interview in the morning."

It was something she should know already considering she had set up the interview through a friend of a friend.

She sighed and snatched it out of my hand causing a small wave of the liquid to spill. "Fine. Don't drink but go dance. Now."

I sighed but did as she asked.

It was slightly awkward at first just swaying to the heavily bassed music pulsing through the room as people around me grinded with each other.

I was contemplating just sneaking out and calling Kendra from a cab when I felt two very warm, very large hands slid around my waist before pulling me back towards a firm body.

"What's a sexy thing like you doing dancing by herself?" I felt more then heard the words spoken into the bare skin of my neck. It caused goose bumps to erupt all over my body.

It didn't help that I could clearly smell the bitter scent of alcohol on this stranger's breath.

"I was just about to leave." I said gently prying the hands that had now locked onto me.

Again I heard the husky voice in my ear. "Why are you leaving? I just found you. We can have fun now."

I rolled my eyes, slightly disappointed that he couldn't see it.

"Well you're just going to have to have all that fun on your own, I'm afraid." I said, finally managing to loosen his grip enough for me to escape. I didn't even turn to look at him as I began to walk away.

I had made it all the way towards the entrance when I, again, felt large hands grab at me and push me against the wall.

I would have screamed if it wasn't for the plump lips that pressed aggressively to mine. I pushed at the masculine chest in front of me hopelessly.

I really started to panic with I felt his tongue pry into my mouth.

And then in a moment of clarity I bit down causing him to spring back, hand held to his mouth and eyes narrowed drunkenly at me.

"You bit me." He accused.

I stared at him but didn't chance actually speaking as I pushed off of the wall and continued out of the god awful club.

I had just made it into the cool night air when the same large hands locked around my waist and pulled me back into a hard toned chest.

I was quickly spun around back to the cocky, curly headed, drunk, jerk.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I would have rolled my eyes at his slurred words if my brain wasn't sifting through years of self-defense classes my father forced me to take before I was old enough to move out on my own.
"Playing hard to get?" His alcohol saturated breath blew into my face. I had to force myself not to gag.

It was as his hand began to drift lower on my back that my body acted of its own accord.

My left knee shot up in a jerky movement and straight into the tall lanky ass's groin.

He instantly released me as if I had burned him, stumbling back and held himself as he gasping for breath. His whole face was red and he looked to be in excruciating pain.

I almost felt bad for him.

"You bitch." He managed to spit out as he caught his breath.

Yup, not feeling bad at all now.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head before flipping him off and spinning on my heel.
I kept walking even as he kept yelling derogatory things to my back only stopping to hail a passing cab.

I had someone waiting for me that I couldn't wait to come home to and this whole thing was sure to be forgotten about as soon as I see his face.

A short cab trip later I was in front of Kendra's apartment building where we had been staying until I could find a job. Something I was hoping to fix by tomorrow.

I smiled at the door man of the posh building as I rushed towards the elevator. I fidgeted the whole ride up to the twelfth floor.

"Tessa, I'm here." I shouted as I locked the door to the apartment behind me.

A second later an older woman stepped into the small hall way.

Tessa was Kendra's next door neighbor and my life saver on more than one occasion since I had moved in.

"What are you doing back so early, Aria, darling?" She asked with a confused smile.

"Clubs aren't my thing. Besides I missed him." I said as we both walked into the lounge.

And then my eyes landed on him. The most perfect thing in my world.

I quietly walked up to the sofa then kneeled next to it looking down at the tiny little bundle cuddled up in the soft blue blanket, asleep.

My 6 month old son, Jamie.

My hand rested lightly on his dark hair as his pudgy little face pouted back at me. He was the love of my life and the reason I found myself in a different country hiding away with a longtime friend, homeless and jobless.

Well until tomorrow if all goes well.

Yes I was counting on the interview for the live-in nanny position that Kendra had set up to work out so I could start making a new life for me and my son.

It was for this reason that things like the little episode at the club, didn't affect me.

I had much bigger things to worry about then some drunken idiot trying to get in my pants. In the grand scheme of things, he didn't matter.
