[IC] City Lights [MermaidColors & Heaven]

[MermaidColors]

Yvette couldn't figure out what had happened-- when did she stop dancing? What was going on? She felt very confused, and shook her head a bit to shake off the drowsiness, as well as to clear her head. "I think that's a good idea," She agreed, holding her head. She couldn't figure out what happened, but at this point, she figured she'd done something to embarrass herself. She followed him, rubbing her temples as she tried to clear her head.

Jackson smiled and nodded, leading her to the bar. "I think we should get you some water, help hydrate you better." Jackson said, ordering her a glass of ice water. It was almost two in the morning and about time to close up the club. "It's about time I get ready to close up, I'd be more then happy to take you home. It's much too late to be walking and you don't look like in any state to drive, so allow me to." He said, bowing his head slightly. "I'll be back in just a moment." He said.

Jackson went up to the DJ booth and told him to play one last song then announce the club closing, and he did just that.

[MermaidColors]

Yvette nodded. "Thank you." She told him, sipping her water. She wondered when she'd become such a lightweight. "Do you have to wait for everyone to leave?" She asked. She wanted to stay with him, but she also couldn't wait to get home and fall asleep. She felt like the smallest step would trip her, and she didn't want to appear too drunk or too clumsy to him. She was suddenly very thankful she hadn't driven to the club; that would have been a mess.

Jackson shook his head whenever he returned back to her. "The bouncers usually finish up and the bartenders clean up, we're free to go." He said and led her out of the club and to his own vehicle- a sleek black Corvette. He opened the door to her side and climbed into the drivers side, starting up the car. "I drive fast.. hope you don't mind." He stated. "Where do you live at, beautiful?" He asked, stealing a warm glance in her direction. She still seemed confused, but that was good. She didn't recall him biting into her flesh and then compelling her to forget. He felt bad about it, which was odd. He never felt bad about those sort of things, but he did.

"I don't live to far away. Just turn left out of here, and then take a right on 4th Terrace." She told him. She straightened out a bit in her seat, trying to look nice. But she wound up falling asleep in the car. She wasn't used to staying out, or even up, this late, let alone drinking as much as she had. Her head slumped on her arm against the window, and she was out.

[Heaven]

Jackson nodded, following his direction to her home. It took only five minutes to get there, not long at all like she said. He pulled up and parked his car in the driveway. He looked over to let Yvette know they were there and smiled when he saw she was asleep. He quietly and carefully opened the door and picked her up without effort and took her to the front door. He sat her down on the porch swing and gently shook her. "We're at your house." He said. He couldn't take her in without being invited in himself.

[MermaidColors]

Yvette awoke, looking around. Wow, that was fast, she thought. She moved to stand, but was far too sleepy. "Could you help me to my room?" She blushed. She didn't like asking all of this from him, but it was so late and she was exhausted. She didn't think she'd make it two steps inside without collapsing. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

[Heaven]

Jackson nodded and and helped her up and into the house. He accepted the invite and with ease found her bedroom her removed her shoes and laid her on the bed. "I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave." He said and moved to a chair located beside the bed. It was past three now and pretty soon the sun would be coming up and he'd have to get back to the club. There was a room blocked off leading to the basement where he spent the day in a coffin resting so he'd be ready for that night.

[MermaidColors]

Yvette nodded. "Thank you." Before dozing off, she took another look at him. He was very handsome, especially in the moonlight. It enhanced his features in a way that made him absolutely breathtaking. "Will I see you again?" She asked, fighting off the sleep in await for his answer. She clung to the covers, not taking her eyes off of him.

[Heaven]

Jackson smiled. "We'll see. Now sleep." He ordered. He watched until her eyes closed and he listened for steady breathing.

Jackson slipped out and back into his car before heading back to the club to get some much needed rest. Everything was already clean and it was late when he got back. He was satisfied and went into the locked room to his bed. Laying down, Jackson found himself thinking back to the beautiful young woman, and boy was she beautiful. She was on her mind, even when he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The following night, Yvette was excited to go back to the club. She found a nicer dress and glammed up a bit, Putting her hair up in a high ponytail before heading out. She walked again this time, remembering how lucky she'd been for doing so before. Maybe I shouldn't drink too much this time, she decided. Though it was super sweet of him to have driven her home before, she didn't want him to have to do so again this time. She was fairly embarrassed of how the night ended before, and she didn't want to look that way to him again.

Jackson slept the day away and when nightfall came, he made the same preparations as before. Tonight, he was dressed in a pair of snug fitting jeans and a light grey dress shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbow. It was made of 100% satin and felt great against his skin. It clung to his upper torso, showing off just how fit her truly was. His hair was in its usually messy state, he had come to find out women like a men's hair that way. He chuckled as he thought that to himself and got ready to open the club, part of him hoping the beautiful woman from last night would come back.

The doors opened and people began to pool in. It was a Saturday night so the rest of the week he'd be closed until Friday again. He made enough money to get him through the week, well it was really unnecessary money, but it was money nevertheless. Jackson stayed up at the DJ stand to look through the crowd better, looking for the aqua haired beauty.

[MermaidColors]

Yvette made her way into the club. It took her even longer to get in than it had before. She didn't like just how crowded it was; it was due to make that guy a lot harder to find. She winced at the thought that he might even find someone else to dance with.
She headed straight for the bar, having to dodge people again as she did before. She ducked the same drunken swing of arms, the same liquor breathed losers, but she made it. She sat down for a few minutes and decided to see if he'd come back. She merely pulled out her phone and waited to see if he'd show up; there was no way she'd find him through this crowd.

[Heaven]

Jackson was flipping through different music to add to the playlist when her scent hit him- she was here, and in the same spot he first met her in last night. He nodded towards the DJ and walked down the stand and over to Yvette. "I'm glad you could make it." He said, standing behind her, his breath fanning her neck hair. He went to sit beside her. "Could I interest you in a drink, or have you decided to take it easy tonight?" He asked, an amused smile dancing on his face. She looked much prettier tonight, or maybe it was the face he actually knew her now and had a taste of her?

[MermaidColors]

She jumped a little when he snuck up in her, but she laughed a little. " I thought it would be best to take it easy tonight. I'm not usually such a lightweight." She blushed. She brushed her hair behind her shoulder and smiled at him. "I wanted to thank you for helping me home last night. I really appreciate it. I probably wouldn't have made it a block away." She laughed softly.

Jackson chuckled. "Understandable, so water then? We also have soda if that's what you drink- coke products, though." He said, motioning for Geoffrey who was dressed in black jeans and a white and back vest. His hair was tied back in a short ponytail. "Get her whatever she wants and myself rum and coke, the usual." He said before turning back to Yvette. "I have faith you could have gone further then a block." He joked with her.

[MermaidColors]

"Oh, I try to avoid too much caffeine. I bounce off the walls. Just a water for me, thank you," she smiled and laughed at his comment. "Only if we had very strong winds!" She teased. She took her drink and nodded at him, "Thank you," she smiled. She took a sip and looked around the club. "There may not be any room for us to dance tonight," she half joked.

[Heaven]

Jackson chuckled. "Understood." He said and just got the bartender to fetch her some ice water. He brought back their drinks just as soon as they ordered them. He smiled and looked around, before looking back down at her. "I actually wanted to ask if you'd go get some dinner with me? I think I can leave the club for a bit without things getting too out of hand." He replied, glancing around. "I know a great Tai place around the corner, if you decide to accept my offer." He said and held out his hand, hoping she placed hers in it.
