A woman's scorn: chapter 1 "Never dance with strangers"

Damien walked into the night club. He briefly scanned the place. It was quite hard to locate his girl friend. The place was full tonight. It was a friday. The place was full to the brim. People bumping and grinding every where. The loud blast of the music mixed with the wild screams and loud chatters of the young folks. She was still no where to be found.

Then he caught the sight of a dark haired girl sitting by the bar. Cindy. He walked over to the dark haired lady, startling her a little by placing his hand on the small of her back. "There you are baby, you were quite hard to spot."

The woman turned to reveal a totally unfamiliar face. "Excuse me?" She said with a half confused half amused expression. "Um.. um.. I'm sorry" Damien stammered. " T-thought you were my girl."

"Well you look like someone with good taste so I'll take that as a complement." The lady smiled. She finished her drink and disappeared into the dancing crowd. Damien shuddered as he took her seat and asked the bartender for drink. Where the hell could Cindy be?

"That was weird." A soft but steady voice said, interupting he's thoughts. He turned to see a blonde girl looking at him with a smile which could have belonged to angels. "Uh- yeah..tell me about it." Damien laughed nervously. "You're meeting some one?" Her smile grew wider as her blue-green eyes seemed to twinkle. She was probably looking for a conversation. "Um..no.. I mean yeah." What the hell was wrong with him? Yeah he was nervous around girls somtimes but this was just ridiculous! He decided to end this before making a bigger fool of himself. "I'm waiting for my girl.".

He turned fully to his drink hoping she would take the hint. She just smiled and nodded.

"Well i don't see her anywhere around." She said again after a short silence. She inched closer to him.

"I'm sure she'll be here." He said with out looking up from his drink. She giggled. Damien didn't know why she did that but he knew that giggle turned him on somehow...which was bad.

"C'mon..come dance with me." She said standing up and tugging lightly on his shirt. "Um i don't think thats such a good idea"

"Come on" she laughed tugging harder on his shirt. "She ain't here yet ,a little dance won't hurt."

If Damien knew that this was going to be no "little dance" it was going to be something else, he would have declined it within the blink of an eye. But he accepted, a dance with this angel faced beauty wouldn't hurt. Cindy probably wasn't coming anyway.

Damien was just starting to realise how intriguing and intoxicating this girl's body was. The way she moved almost had him in a trance. He had never met a girl like this before, probably never will. She was amazing. She was definately no ordinary woman He decided it was best not to touch her incase he might do something he might regret. He had to keep reminding himself that he had a girl-friend."What's your name anyway?", Damien tried to start a conversation to get his attention off the heat welling up inside of him. Unfortunately for him the blonde beauty put his arms around her waist, "Its Jasmine", She smiled seductively at him.

"It suits you" he smiled back, He knew he should take his hands off but he didn't want to. She had something on him. The two danced as close as lovers as they moved to beat of the music. Damien felt hypnotized. He never wanted to let go of her. He felt like they were the only two people in the room.

She moved up to him and pressed her lips against his. He hesitated a bit then returned the kiss tightening his hold on her. Boy..she was amazing. After that kiss, all he knew was the he wanted her. As if reading his mind , she leaned up to him and whispered, "C'mon my place isn't very far from here."

As if in a trance, Damien let her lead him out of the crowd and out of the night club. After that, everything just seemed to happen in a flash. He found himself in her apartment frantically peeling off her clothes as she tugged roughly on his.

Within a matter of time, they were both naked on top of each other making love for hours like they were the only ones in the world. Damien didn't care about anything else. The only thing on his mind right then was Jasmine's body..

Damien woke up to find Jasmine lying next to him. Sleeping peacfully, her perfect angel face.. nice satiny lips a little bit like Cindy's.....CINDY!

He sharply sat up. "What the hell just happened?!" He thought out loud. This was bad...this was very bad. He looked back at Jasmine. "What the hell just happened" He repeated, now pouring with regrets.

Jasmine opened her eyes and slowly sat up. "You're awake." She smiled softly putting her arms around him.

"what the hell just happened?" Damien said taking her hand off. He was starting to feel like an echo.

"You know what happened." Jasmine seductively repositioned herself. "It was great too." She smiled sexily.

"No!" Damien swiftly got up from the bed frantically spotting and throwing on his clothes. "No it wasn't....didn't i tell you had a girl friend!?"

"Yet here you are.." Jasmine smiled coldly. He slumped on the bed again burying his head in his hands. "What was i thinking!"

"Hey" Jasmine crawled up beside him. "Noboby has to know..she doesn't have to know...this is between us...it can go on without-"

"Whoa!" Damien stood up again. "Go on?...look i'm sorry um..."

"Jasmine"

"Jasmine. But i love my girl friend, and i don't know what the hell happened here..but normally i would never do anything to hurt her."

Jasmine stood up, she glared at him. "The only thing that happened here Damien..is that you wanted me, you know you did..and you got what you wanted."

"Now listen" Damien paused. "How the hell did you know my name?"

"You told me at the club." Jasmine said without blinking.

"I did?...thats not the point. Listen I'm sorry if i led you on..but i told you i had a girl. so..yeah..bye!" He started to head for the door.

"So this was just some one night stand?". Damien said nothing.

"Am i gonna see you again?"

"Not gonna happen." He swiftly headed out the door and shut behind him before she said one more thing.

Jasmine smiled coldly after him. "Oh yes it is" Her blue-green eyes glowed most inhumanly, like they had light bulbs in them.

Damien ran as fast as he could back to the night club. What if Cindy was back there? What on earth was he going to tell her? . Damien sighed heavily as he reached the club. Why the hell was this happening to him?

He entered the club and saw Cindy sitting at the bar. She was facing the crowd and you tell by the expression on her face that she was highly pissed. He took a deep breath from both exhaustion and fear and walked over to her.

Cindy turned to spot him. "Damien! where the hell where you!..and i was worried about being late!"

"Baby i can explain-" Damien started.

"Gosh Damien! i've been waiting for hours i even tried, to call you why didn't you pick up?"

"What!?" Damien checked his pockets. His phone wasn't in there. He had left it at Jasmine's. "I um- I left it at work.".

Cindy sighed in fustration. "Unbelievable."

"Look Cindy..baby I'm sorry i just got really caught up at work. You know i would have stopped it if i could." He gave his most appealing apologetic smile.

Cindy looked at him. "Fine" She smiled faintly. "Lets get outta here."

Damien got up at 8.00 am the next morning. Cindy was still asleep. Usually he'd be asleep too, but with what happened last night, he really couldn't get much sleep. He stepped out to pick up the papers and found a package on top of it. He opened it right there on the porch. It was his phone. Jasmine had sent it to him. That was nice of her. Wait. How did she know where he lived?

There was something else in the package. He pulled it out only to see pictures of him naked lying next to Jasmine, her smiling coldly up at the camera. A small note which said:

"There's more where this came from. Meet me at my place sometime this week. Love Jaz."

Damien crumpled the note and banged his fist against the door frame. What a total b*tch. what the hell did she want from him? He knew this was really big deal. How the hell did she find out where he lived? He had to meet her. He knew he did, he couldn't lose Cindy not ever. But he also didn't know what kind of woman he was dealing with either but he knew this was going to be one heck of a ride.
