Standing in the Night
Chapter 7
Was this my body that I was in right now? One hand pressed against the beating of my heart. I felt so much different then I ever had before, I felt like a whole new person. Like I could do anything right now including run a million miles to where she stood and swoop her into my arms. I had never me someone like her before. It was like meeting an angel from heaven or was it hell that she came from?
Darien opened his blue eyes and looked out at the road. He could see the shadowed figure of Greg standing near the corner of a building making a deal with someone. Darien hid in the car, his gun ready in case something happened. It was big string deal filled with the possible threat of being caught or killed.
His tongue ran lightly over his teeth has he grinned and pushed down on the trigger a little harder. Sweat dotted his forehead in beads, but Darien was not nervous. He was ready, ready for anything right now. The blond haired angel was watching over him tonight.

The club was shadowy and full of smoke. Oversized men sat at the small tables drinking cheap whiskey and blowing cigarette smoke at the girls walking around them. Her G-string already filled with bills from giving lap dances Mina had finally escaped to the back to dress for her performance. It was a quiet night, the men sat there has she danced for them stuffing dollar bills into her g-string and tweaking a nipple before she walked off and served another customer.
Now Mina sprayed a light floral scent over her body to dispel the musky scent of sweat, whiskey, and cigarette smoke clinging to her skin. Next to her on the cluttered table lay a small red dress that she would wear for her performance. Jerry had decided that she would perform her bad girl dance for the men since they were in such a "quiet" mood has it was said.
Mina brushed a bit of blush over her cheeks and scrunched up her face in the mirror. Behind her girls laughed and held up costumes to each other while they gossiped about the customers out in the bar. Mina did not hear them, she was to busy applying her bright red eye shadow to hear.
" You ready to go out there and make a killing?" Jerry whispered looking back at Mina has she tiptoed into the wings.
" Same has always," Mina replied shrugging her shoulders.
Jerry nodded and stepped out onto the stage. A fake smile plastered onto his face as the men politely clapped and the girls sat down on chairs offered to them.
" Now gentlemen and ladies," Jerry winked at the few females scattered about the room. " We are proud to bring you a treat of the beautiful goddess herself. Venus come out and call!" Jerry stepped back to the other side of the stage as Minako stepped out dressed in red silk and carrying a black leather whip. She posed in the middle holding the whip at her thigh while the other hand spread itself over her stomach.
The music started up, a pulsing beat filled with drums and piano. Mina raised the whip rubbing it over her leg while the words belted from the speakers.
" Bad girl jumped by sex, kissing someone's lips."
" Smoked to many cigarettes today."
" I'm not happy when I act this way."
He sat at a small table near the stage dressed entirely in black. One cigarette glowed with red ashes held by his tanned hand. Blue eyes watched her dance while the blond hair shadowed itself in darkness.
Minako ran her hands over her breasts feeling the curves of her body before turning to the audience and dragging herself towards them. Knees lay limp behind her; she only could use her arms to move forward towards the man in black. He laid the cigarette in it's tray and picked up his glass. The amber liquid swished around slightly before he took a sip meeting Minako's eyes over the rim.
With careful calculation she got up on her knees and crawled towards him. One hand reached out and plucked the glass from his hands. She took a gulp of the burning liquid then set down and grabbed his shirt collar pulling him closer towards him. Alive with passion their lips met in a smoldering kiss. She held on tightly to his shirt while he reached up and ran his hands over her arms. Then quite before he knew it she pushed him away and stood up, walking back towards the stage lifting her hair away from her body.
Eric sat back in his chair breathing hard, his eyes glazed over with an unseen emotion while Minako danced on the stage above him.

Mina took rough hold of the door and stepped out into the dark alley. Blue light from the streetlights lit up the streets, but inside the alley, it was dark. Carefully stepping over bags of garbage and avoiding any puddles of water Mina begun to pick her way out of the alley. Her lips still tingled from the kiss they had shared. One hand brushed over her mouth feeling bruised lips. A smile lit up her features has she walked out into the street light.
A hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. Mina instantly struggled to get free but a rough hand clamped over her mouth. The man was strong, she could feel the muscles of his arms has he dragged her struggling form back into the alley. Mina tried to scream, but her attacker's hand pressed down painfully on her mouth cutting of any sound. She could hear him breathing heavily as they worked their way back into the darkest part of the alley near the Dumpster. It was dark except for a little bit of light glowing from the streetlights at the far end. Roughly he pushed her against the brick wall and covered her frame with his larger one. Hot lips descended upon hers cutting off any screams in her throat.
Mina's eyes went wide has the burning emotions in her were re-awoken. Without thinking, her arms went around him as he ravaged her lips with kisses moving down to her neck then to her breasts were he ripped open her shirt and pressed burning kisses into the flesh. Mina threw her head back and ran her hands through his hair. She was incapable of speech right now. All she could was gasp as he ran his hands under her skirt and slipped off the scrap of cloth that was her panties. Then he was standing up, unzipping his pants, and pulling something out before he lifted up her skirt and slammed her into the wall again.
" Yes!" Mina gasped has he entered her roughly.
The only sounds in the alley were that of two people's gasps and the sounds of someone hitting the brick wall repeatedly.

The early morning light moved over the figures lying in the bed. A crumpled black blanket covered their bodies. She lay curled in his arms, her blond head resting on his chest. He held her close to him his arms locking her into his embrace.
The scene was a quiet peaceful one. The perfect couple, lying asleep in each other's arms with the morning sunlight around them.
Mina shifted in her sleep and opened one eye. A bit of sun blinded her causing her to close her eyes and turn away. Eric shifted slightly in his sleep but did not wake as Mina focused and peered over at the small clock on the table.
7:45am, she smiled sleepily and turned back to Eric. A few strands of honey colored hair fell in his eyes. Lazily Mina brushed them away and kissed his nose.
" Wake up sleepy head." Her voice whispered softly into his ear before she lay back on the pillow.
He opened his eyes slowly the blue orbs focusing on the girl next to him. Her blond hair flowing around them, one hand laying underneath her face has she smiled softly at him.
" Good morning," Eric whispered brushing one hand over her hair and down her face.
" Good morning to you too," Mina replied.
" Did you sleep well?"
" Very well for the few hours you let me sleep." She replied giving him a mischievous smile.
" I guess you could say I was taking all I could," Eric replied running his fingertips over her lips.
" I wish you would take me again," Mina whispered has she felt the emotions inside her re-awaken.
" Your wish is my command." Eric leaned forward and captured her lips in a kiss.
The early morning sunlight shone down on the couple moving in the bed headless of the time showing on the clock.

" What do you think of this one?" Molly held up a picture for Serena to judge.
" Hmm, I like it but I'm not sure. Put it in the maybe pile." Serena replied tucking a pen behind her ear and bending over the pictures spread out on the floor.
Molly placed the picture in a pile by her side and went back to shifting through the pile. Together she and Serena had met at the office after a quick breakfast at Dunkin' Doughnuts to go through the pictures they would use in the magazine.
" How about this one?" Serena pulled out a picture and held it up for Molly to see.
" I love it," Molly replied giving it a thumbs up.
Serena smiled and set it in the yes pile before reaching for her cup of coffee.
" I always hated this part."
" You mean going through and finding the perfect pictures?" Molly asked sitting back on her heels.
" Yea, I can never find the perfect picture. There is to many maybes."
" Well hand me that box of doughnuts. We can take a break and see if we can find some more "yes's" afterwards." Molly shifted her legs from underneath her and stretched them out.
Serena pulled the yellow box off the desk above her and handed it for Molly only after pulling out a chocolate doughnut for herself.
" Oh chocolate how I love thee. You wake me up in the morning and keep me happy all the time." Serena sighed kissing her doughnut before taking a big bite.
Molly laughed and selected a powdered one for herself.
" So Molly how was your date with Mr. Umnio last night?" Serena asked growing serious.
" Melvin?" Molly asked blushing slightly. " Oh it was nice. We went to this great little Chinese restaurant."
" Melvin?" Serena giggled.
" Yea, he asked me to call him that." Molly replied blushing even more.
" It must be growing serious then," Serena grinned over the rim of her coffee cup.
" Nothing much really. He just thought Melvin was less formal then Mr. Umino."
" So what do you guys talk about? Or do you just sit in silence?"
" Oh we talk about everything! Melvin likes to read so we talk about books and he is really smart! He's really into bugs and insects which is kind of disgusting, I guess, but he makes it sound so interesting." Molly replied happily.
" Hmm, sounds fun." Serena agreed making face at the idea of bugs.
" Well it's not really fun, but he is very interesting to talk too and tonight we have plans to go to this foreign film at the little theatre."
" Ooo sounds interesting," Serena grinned wriggling her doughnut at Molly. "You two going to get a little kissing in?"
" Serena please!" Molly blushed at her friend's question. " We're just going as friends that is all!"
" Yea right," Serena concentrated on pulling apart her doughnut. " When you two get married will you invite me to the wedding?"
" Serena!" Molly cried blushing ever redder while her friend grinned and took a bite of her doughnut.
" What? I never seen you this interested in a guy before!" Serena replied innocently.
" Yes, but we are just friends and what about you?" Molly asked changing the subject away from her. " Have you found a guy yet?"
" Me?" Serena studied the last bit of her doughnut before popping it into her mouth and chewing slowly. " No, not really. I guess I've just lost all feelings of wanting to date."
" You still getting over Andrew?" Molly asked quietly.
" I'm over him don't worry about that." Serena gave her friend a weak smile. " It still hurts a bit to think about him and yea I do miss being with him, but I'm over the whole breakup. I guess I just lost all want to date afterwards so I haven't really been looking, that's all."
" Hey give it time, you'll find someone." Molly patted her friends arm in a gesture of comfort.
" Yea, your right." Serena perked up and tucked her legs behind her. " We should probably get back to shifting through the pictures. I'm sure Mr. Umino will want to see the soon."

Lita stepped out of the darkened doorstep and looked around her. The streets were quiet has she started down the cracked sidewalk. A wad of bills was tucked into her shirt before she smoothed out her skirt and brushed some erratic strands of hair away from her face.
The customer had been nothing new to her. A horny man looking for a quick release. Lita was present and willing to be with him. Inside the darken building she lifted her skirt and opened her legs so he could have easy access. Within minutes, they were done and he paid her. The man walked out first while Lita waited the customary 5 minutes before she too slipped out on to the streets.
In the daytime, there wasn't a lot of womyn out to compete with her. Already for 3 hours of work, she had cleared away four hundred dollars. The money was safely tucked away inside her shirt where no one could see it. Only the slightest bulge giving away it's appearance. Feeling happier then she had 3 hours earlier Lita walked back to her apartment to catch some sleep and take a couple pills before going out for another night of work.

Where was she? Rei's eyes searched for something familiar but there was nothing. The room was all wrong, the wrong shape and size. Her body felt odd, the limbs twisted oddly and it hurt to move so she lay still and looked around with her eyes.
A man's snoring filled the room but Rei could not figure out where it was coming from. She could not move her head to look around where her eyes could not see. Voices filtered in, voices filled with laughter. People were in the next room laughing and flirting among each other. Cups of beer and liquor in their hands, making Rei wish she could move her body so she could get a drink. Her tongue felt swollen and fuzzy in her mouth.
Why did she feel like this? Where was she? Rei moved her head slightly to the side. The snoring got louder as her eyes came in contact with the man lying next to her in the bed. His mouth was open slightly, a thin trail of drool staining the crumpled white sheets. Rei turned her head away from the sight of the sleeping man and looked at the ceiling. It was slightly dark in the room except for the light from the next room seeping through the cracks in the door.
Rei tried to move her legs again but the stinging pain grew stronger as she tried so she lay still and looked around her. Why did she hurt so? Why did her arms feel so odd and why did she hurt so much? Feeling desperate for a drink Rei opened her mouth to call out for help when the door opened.
Light poured into the room along with the sound of people laughing and talking. The man next to her snorted and woke up looking over his shoulder to see a figure in the doorway. His bloodshot eyes blinked and focused before a lazy grin spread on his face and he sat up. Rei's eyes ran over his body noticing his lack of clothes except for a dirty pair of white boxers. Without a word the sleeping man walked out of the room and shut the door leaving her alone with the stranger.
She heard the sounds of his heavy breathing and the rustle of clothes being pulled off. Her head refused to raise itself to see what he was doing. It was the sound of a zipper and the rustle of denim slipping to the floor that brought Rei to her senses.
She desperately tried to release her hands from the handcuffs holding her to the bed but it was to no anvil. The man was already naked and moving toward her. Even in the half-light of the room, Rei could see the lust glowing in his eyes. Her legs were already spread open, twisted slightly; each ankle tied to the bedpost with rope. Laying there spread eagle unable to escape Rei could only watch with fear has he climbed on top of the bed and positioned himself over her.
" Time to take a ride bitch," the stranger jeered as he slammed himself inside of her.
Tears welled up inside her eyes and poured out onto her cheeks. She tried to numb herself of the pain and hurt filling her insides while the stranger on top of her grunted and slammed into her again and again.

" Here you go." Serena dropped the manila folder onto the desktop and placed both hands behind her back.
" What are these?" Mr. Umnio looked up from the folder to Serena standing in front of him.
" These are the pictures that Molly and I have selected for a section of the catalogue," Serena replied putting an emphasis on the word Molly.
" I see. I didn't expect you to have them ready so soon." Mr. Umnio picked up the folder and begin thumbing through it's contents.
" Yes, well we rushed to get the first section of pictures out since there will be another fashion shoot on Monday at the park and we wanted to get these done before more pictures came in. Now I just wait your approval and then I can begin the layout for the catalogue."
" I'll have these approved by tomorrow afternoon," Mr. Umnio replied dropping the folder into a black wire letterbox.
Serena nodded her head and turned to head out of the room. Before she opened the door she stopped and turned back to her boss unable to resist not saying something.
" You know Mr. Umnio I thought you might like to know that Molly's favorite flower is yellow snapdragons. Maybe you should bring her some tonight."
With that Serena opened the door and walked out a grin plastered on her face.

Usually on a night like this, he would be out working the streets and making deals. Not tonight though, instead he had put Greg in charge of everything. Tonight he wanted to be alone in his bed. Or at least he wanted to be alone since the one person he wanted to be with him wasn't there, a blond haired angel with big blue eyes and that innocent expression of loveliness. Already Darien ached for her with longing, something he had never felt before. Usually womyn threw themselves at his feet begging to be taken into his bed. Not this one though, she wasn't like that. She was pure and sweet and perfect...
Darien groaned and slipped both hands behind his head. The ceiling above him was cracked and dirty. Paint was chipped off in some places showing the dark wood of the ceiling. Normally he would not care but tonight it seemed to bother him. The room was a mess, his clothes lay on the dirty floor in a pile where he had tossed them, dust gathered in the corners, and paint peeled itself off the ceiling.
The room seemed to suffocate him, but he made no move to rise from the bed and escape. Something kept him lying there on his back with the blanket pulled up to his waist. He knew what kept him there; he was waiting for someone. He was waiting for that blond haired angel named Serena to come through the door and bring some light to the room.
The door remained closed though and no one walked in. Right now, even Minako would have been nice to see. The bed felt big without her lying next to him, her blond hair running over his chest has the last of the smoke from her cigarette wafted in the air.
Sex with Minako was nothing special, he only did it with her when there was no one else. Not tonight though, she had found someone new to sleep with. Someone who probably treated her better then he did.
Darien shifted to his side and curled his arms underneath his head. What did it matter if Mina was such a slut that she slept around with different men. He didn't have any romantic feelings for her. She was to much a slut for that.
With a sigh Darien closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep.

Rei tried to move her legs again but the stinging pain grew stronger as she tried so she lay still and looked around her. Why did she hurt so? Why did her arms feel so odd and why did she hurt so much? Feeling desperate for a drink Rei opened her mouth to call out for help when the door opened.
Light poured into the room along with the sound of people laughing and talking. The man next to her snorted and woke up looking over his shoulder to see a figure in the doorway. His bloodshot eyes blinked and focused before a lazy grin spread on his face and he sat up. Rei's eyes ran over his body noticing his lack of clothes except for a dirty pair of white boxers. Without a word the sleeping man walked out of the room and shut the door leaving her alone with the stranger.
She heard the sounds of his heavy breathing and the rustle of clothes being pulled off. Her head refused to raise itself to see what he was doing. It was the sound of a zipper and the rustle of denim slipping to the floor that brought Rei to her senses.
She desperately tried to release her hands from the handcuffs holding her to the bed but it was to no anvil. The man was already naked and moving toward her. Even in the half-light of the room, Rei could see the lust glowing in his eyes. Her legs were already spread open, twisted slightly; each ankle tied to the bedpost with rope. Laying there spread eagle unable to escape Rei could only watch with fear has he climbed on top of the bed and positioned himself over her.
" Time to take a ride bitch," the stranger jeered as he slammed himself inside of her.
Tears welled up inside her eyes and poured out onto her cheeks. She tried to numb herself of the pain and hurt filling her insides while the stranger on top of her grunted and slammed into her again and again.

" Here you go." Serena dropped the manila folder onto the desktop and placed both hands behind her back.
" What are these?" Mr. Umnio looked up from the folder to Serena standing in front of him.
" These are the pictures that Molly and I have selected for a section of the catalogue," Serena replied putting an emphasis on the word Molly.
" I see. I didn't expect you to have them ready so soon." Mr. Umnio picked up the folder and begin thumbing through it's contents.
" Yes, well we rushed to get the first section of pictures out since there will be another fashion shoot on Monday at the park and we wanted to get these done before more pictures came in. Now I just wait your approval and then I can begin the layout for the catalogue."
" I'll have these approved by tomorrow afternoon," Mr. Umnio replied dropping the folder into a black wire letterbox.
Serena nodded her head and turned to head out of the room. Before she opened the door she stopped and turned back to her boss unable to resist not saying something.
" You know Mr. Umnio I thought you might like to know that Molly's favorite flower is yellow snapdragons. Maybe you should bring her some tonight."
With that Serena opened the door and walked out a grin plastered on her face.

Usually on a night like this, he would be out working the streets and making deals. Not tonight though, instead he had put Greg in charge of everything. Tonight he wanted to be alone in his bed. Or at least he wanted to be alone since the one person he wanted to be with him wasn't there, a blond haired angel with big blue eyes and that innocent expression of loveliness. Already Darien ached for her with longing, something he had never felt before. Usually womyn threw themselves at his feet begging to be taken into his bed. Not this one though, she wasn't like that. She was pure and sweet and perfect...
Darien groaned and slipped both hands behind his head. The ceiling above him was cracked and dirty. Paint was chipped off in some places showing the dark wood of the ceiling. Normally he would not care but tonight it seemed to bother him. The room was a mess, his clothes lay on the dirty floor in a pile where he had tossed them, dust gathered in the corners, and paint peeled itself off the ceiling.
The room seemed to suffocate him, but he made no move to rise from the bed and escape. Something kept him lying there on his back with the blanket pulled up to his waist. He knew what kept him there; he was waiting for someone. He was waiting for that blond haired angel named Serena to come through the door and bring some light to the room.
The door remained closed though and no one walked in. Right now, even Minako would have been nice to see. The bed felt big without her lying next to him, her blond hair running over his chest has the last of the smoke from her cigarette wafted in the air.
Sex with Minako was nothing special, he only did it with her when there was no one else. Not tonight though, she had found someone new to sleep with. Someone who probably treated her better then he did.
Darien shifted to his side and curled his arms underneath his head. What did it matter if Mina was such a slut that she slept around with different men. He didn't have any romantic feelings for her. She was to much a slut for that.
With a sigh Darien closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep.
