Kathrine’s Point of View
Dylan turned to Kathrine and whispered. “Watch this.” She turned back to face the attractive man. “Hi there. We would have joined you for a drink, but these two nice men won’t let us in.”
“Don’t worry. We will have that drink my dear.” He winked at Dylan. “Hey, man they're cool. They can come in.”
“Ladies.” The bodyguard stepped to the side and let them pass.
“See, I told you I will get us in,” Dylan whispered to Kathrine. Kathrine just gave her a smile.
“Do you ladies want something to drink?” The man asked while placing his hand on Dylan’s arm.
“Sure, we’ll have a double vodka and Sprite,” Dylan replied with a seductive smile.
“Coming right up.” The man made his way to the bar.
Kathrine looked at Dylan with a surprised expression. “Dude, I can’t believe we made it in. I need to admit your flirting skills are just… Wow! Amazingly done.”
“I know. I'm just that good. We get our drink and then we hit the dance floor.” Dylan said before she heard the voice of the man that offered to buy them drinks.
“Here you go, ladies. Enjoy. I’m Anthony by the way.” Anthony said while handing them their drinks.
“Thank you, nice to meet you, I’m Kathrine,” Kathrine said, taking her drink.
“I’m Dylan. I know a boy’s name. My parents wanted a boy but then they got stuck with me.” She said while taking her drink from Anthony’s hand. “But if you’ll excuse us, we’re here to dance.”
“Go and enjoy your night. I’m here all night long.” He smiled and gave them a wink and walked away.
“Oh my gosh. He is so fucking hot. I could do things to…” Dylan said but before she could finish Kathrine tapped her on the arm. “What?”
“Yes, he’s cute but he is also human. Not just a piece of meat.” Kathrine said before taking a sip of her drink.
“Well, he’s a good piece of meat.” Dylan and Kathrine giggled and made their way to the dance floor.
Kathrine and Dylan were dancing, they finished their drink and then the bar lady walked up to them with more drinks in her hand. Dylan and Kathrine looked at each other with confusion. Knowing that they didn’t order another drink.
“This is from the owner. He also instructed me to tell you, to please join him after this dance.” She said and handed them their drinks and took the empty glasses.
“The owner?” Kathrine looked at Dylan confused.
“I don’t even know what the owner looks like,” Dylan replied. “Wait, we can ask that Anthony guy.”
Kathrine and Dylan set out to find Anthony. As they expected he was seated at the bar, flirting with a beautiful blonde woman. They walked up to him. Anthony turned around and gave them a big smile.
“What can I help you ladies with?” Anthony asked with his arms resting on the bar counter.
“You don’t perhaps know who the owner is? We just want to thank him for the drinks.” Dylan asked.
“Well, if you’re talking about my best friend the owner, I know exactly who he is,” Anthony replied before downing his drink. “Come on, follow me.”
Anthony led them to the booth where the owner was sitting. He made his way to his feet and straightened his jacket before greeting them.
“Andrew, nice to make your acquaintance.” He said and kissed Kathrine’s hand.
“Hi…” Kathrine said with a stutter turning a slight pink.
“I’m Dylan and this is my lovely friend Kathrine. Mind if we join you?” Dylan asked. Andrew gave them a gesture to sit.
Kathrine and Dylan found a spot in the booth. Kathrine made her way next to Andrew. Dylan sat next to her with Anthony next to her. Andrew called the bar lady over and ordered four shots of Jägermeister.
Kathrine tried to gather the words to say, but at that moment Dylan did all the talking. After the shots came Kathrine drank it as if it was water. She shook her head. Noticing everyone staring at her.
“What? I need to loosen up a bit.” Kathrine said with a small smile.
Andrew looked at her with sparkles in his eyes. He was so mesmerized by her. He didn’t know why he was so invested in her. There was something that intrigued him. And he knew he needed to find out what it was. This was a girl he knew he wanted to get to know.
Andrew kept ordering drinks. He paced himself, but the others enjoyed themselves. Having one shot after the other. Andrew was used to this, he didn’t mind the people around him enjoying themselves, he on the other had always tried to stay as sober as can be. If shit hits the fan, he would be able to defend himself.

They started to calm down. Kathrine looked down at her watch, her mouth fell open when she saw the time, it was just past two in the morning. Andrew looked at her, he saw the shock on her face, he then realized that it was late.
Dylan and Anthony were chatting away. Leaving Kathrine and Andrew to talk to each other. Andrew looked at her, his arm was on the back of the chair behind her. She felt uncomfortable in some way, but also safe.
“So, Kathrine, tell me a bit about yourself,” Andrew asked, his eyes locked on her.
“There isn’t much to tell. I’m a writer without a fucking job and a bit drunk.” She said then she placed her head in her hands.
“What job did you do? Before you lost your job?” He asked while signaling the bar lady. He whispered to her to bring a glass of pure cool drink. She nodded and made her way to the bar.
“I was a writer. Writing short stories and novels. But I threw it all away, because of this.” Kathrine stretched out her arms.
“This?” He asked confused.
“Clubs! I went out clubbing last night with Dylan and overslept. Being late to work. That was when I got fired.” She said while scratching her head.
“You can work for me. I am in need of a floor manager. Just making sure everyone is doing their jobs.” He said, Kathrine looked at him in shock.
“What? No. No, you don’t even know me. I can’t expect you to offer me a job after you had…” She froze.
“After I had?” He asked lifting his right eyebrow.
“I’m sorry. It’s getting late and we need to go.” Kathrine made her way to her feet. “Dylan, we need to leave it’s getting late.”
“But I’m having…” Before Dylan could finish Kathrine interrupted her.
“Now.” She said, moving past Andrew.
“Fine.” Dylan made her way to her feet, she turned back to Anthony, “Call me.”
“Dylan!” Kathrine called her.
“Coming!” She made a phone gesture with her hand.
Andrew’s Point of ViewAndrew watched as Kathrine left the club. He couldn’t stop staring at her ass. Anthony moved closer to him so that he was also able to see the view of Dylan.“That blonde is crazy and wild. Something that I crave.” Anthony said before taking a sip of his drink.“Yeah,” Andrew replied, then he made his way to his feet.“Andrew?” Anthony said as Andrew made his way to the door.When Andrew walked out of the club, he saw Kathrine and Dylan climb into a cab on their way home. He stared for a moment when Anthony stood next to him.“Fuck, man. I was on a vibe.” Anthony said with his hands on his head.“Get in the car, we’re going home,” Andrew said, walking towards his car.“Oh, come on. It’s still packed in there.” Anthony said with his arms in the air.“That wasn’t a question. You can get in the car, or you can walk.”“Fine!” Anthony rushed to the car and jumped in.***Andrew started the car and pulled out of the parking. He started to accelerate until the car reac
Dylan’s Point of ViewWhen the cab came to a stop Dylan swung open the door and puked on the sidewalk. Kathrine held her hair back making sure she didn’t ruin her hair. She just kept apologizing to the cab driver. Kathrine then helped Dylan out of the cab and led the way into her apartment building to her floor.“I don’t think you need to drive home in this condition,” Kathrine said with sympathy.“Yeah, I will just crash on your couch,” Dylan replied while swinging back and forth.“Sure,” Kathrine replied while unlocking her apartment.Kathrine opened the door and led Dylan inside. Dylan spotted the couch and fell onto it face-first. She let out a loud sigh before turning over to face the roof. Scooting up she leaned against the backrest of the couch. She stared at Kathrine with loamy eyes.“He’s into you,” Dylan said with a big smile stretching from one ear to the other.“You’re drunk, you need to get some sleep,” Kathrine said while handing her a blanket.“You know I’m right. Maybe
Andrew’s Point of ViewAndrew made his way to his office where two men were waiting for him. Upon entering the men made their way to their feet and straightened their jackets.One of the men reached out his hand to shake Andrew’s, “Andrew nice to see you again, and thank you once again for meeting us. By the way, this is my son, Carlo.” Andrew shook his hand and greeted his son also with a handshake.Andrew then nodded before speaking, “Gentlemen, welcome. It is my pleasure.” Andrew greeted then made his way around his table and sat down, then gestured the two men to sit as well. “For what do I owe for this lovely meeting?”“Well, we here to submit a proposal.” The older man said while he crossed his left leg over his right.“A proposal? What kind of proposal, John?” Andrew asked with concern, while he sat straight in his chair.“A proposal for us to join forces. You and I both know that this would be the best decision going forward.” John said, then he placed his hands on his knees.
Kathrine’s Point of ViewWhile she enjoyed the breakfast that Dylan had made for her. Her mind started to think about the offer that Andrew had given her. She started to wonder if she should take him up on it. Kathrine needed to get some sort of income to be able to keep a roof over her head.After she had finished her food, she quickly jumped into the shower. The steam of the warm water started to fill the bathroom. Grabbing the scrunchy off the water tap she poured some shower gel onto it and started washing her stomach. She rinsed off her fit body and grabbed the shampoo bottle.Washing her long brown hair, that almost reached her butt. While rinsing off the shampoo she stood still and thought about all her life decisions.“What has become of my life? I’m not even able to keep a job, what will make this one any different?” Kathrine whispered to herself.Shaking her head to return to reality she turned off the shower and stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. She wrapped it
Kathrine’s Point of ViewKathrine left the coffee shop, her mind swirling with the worry over the text she had sent. The night before Andrew offered her a job to be his floor manager at his club. This was a golden opportunity for her, an opportunity that could change her life. The worry of not being able to pay her bills hang heavily over her.But now, uncertainty crawled closer to her, wondering if the message that she had just sent to Andrew was a mistake, if the message had been too eager. Or worse if she had said something wrong.As she took the drive home in the cab, her thoughts started to consume her. Replaying the text message in her mind, analyzing every word she had typed. After the car ride, she finally reached her apartment building. Climbing out of the cab her phone started to buzz in her purse. She took out her phone and she froze for a few seconds for what she saw.Andrew’s name on her phone, her heart skipped a beat. She hoped for a positive response.Unlocking her pho
Andrew’s Point of ViewAndrew stared at the yellow cab as it drove away in the distance. Lost in thought, Andrew barely noticed when his friend Anthony tapped him on the shoulder. Startled, he turned to face him, his eyes still fixed on the spot where the cab had disappeared into the busy city streets.“Come on man,” Anthony said with a smile. “The night is still young.”Reluctantly, Andrew tore his gaze away from the street and followed Anthony back into the club. The loud and flashing lights seem to mock his sorrowful mood. As the night progressed and Anthony was dancing and drinking, Andrew couldn't stop thinking about Kathrine. The only thing keeping him at ease was the fact that he was going to see her again. Sooner than he would have thought.Andrew wasn’t in the mood to continue sitting at his club. He flung himself out of his seat and walked over to Anthony. “Hey, man. Are you going to be alright going home by yourself?” He asked calmly.“Yeah, I’m good. I’ll just call a cab o
Kathrine’s Point of ViewKathrine and Dylan sat side by side in the backseat of the cab, they sat close to each other. But their minds were filled with their own thoughts. The city lights flickered through the window, moving through the busy streets, on their way to Kathrine’s apartment.The weight of the day laid heavy on Kathrine’s shoulders. She leaned her head against Dylan’s shoulder, seeking a resting place. A soft sigh escaped Kathrine’s lips.“This day was just too long, to describe,” Kathrine said with a soft tone.“You can say that again. But hey look on the bright side, you’re not going to be homeless.” Dylan said with a smile.“Yeah, that is correct. I was worried that he was only doing that to get me to sleep with him. But I see I might have judged him too soon.” Kathrine replied, then sat up straight.“By the way, how are you holding up? Are you feeling a bit better?” Dylan asked with concern.“Actually, I am. Thank you, I needed this. I needed to get out and live my lif
Dylan’s Point of ViewDylan watched intently as Kathrine stepped out of the cab. Dylan nodded at the middle-aged man with a friendly face, the driver nodded with a knowing glint in his eyes. The driver placed the car in drive and weaved in with the other cars on the road.She had always been a mysterious woman.As the car was moving Dylan searched through her bag and pulled out her phone. With a quick glance around the cab, ensuring there weren’t any recording devices, she dialed a number and brought the phone closer to her ear.The silence in the car made the ringing of her phone echo through the cab. She kept her voice low, “Hey, it’s me. Our plan is in motion, everything is going according to schedule.” Dylan said just as the person on the other side picked up.“Excellent news. No one suspects a thing?” The voice on the phone asked.“No. Not even Andrew. He is oblivious of everything.” She said with an evil smile on her face.“Good. Remember to keep it that way.” The voice said.“O
