Benedicta:

 I was already beginning to enjoy myself on this girl's night out. I have even had a few cocktails which helped in loosening me up and lowering my inhibitions. Cheryl and I are currently at the bar and I was getting her filled on my day.
"That guy must be loaded to be wearing a $500 shirt. Maybe you should have accepted the nanny offer . Then make him fall for you." She says wiggling her brow at me and I giggle.
"You are crazy." I tell her and she nods.
"Very. Now let's hit the dance floor. I know how much you love dancing. Come on." She takes my hand and pull me to the dance fall. Soon we are surrounded by gyrating bodies. The fast beat of the song gets to me and with my inhibitions already lowered by the alcohol in my system, I dance like crazy. I don't even feel awkward with the attention I am getting with the dress and my new look.
 I dance with Cheryl for long before her boyfriend comes and takes her away from me. She gives me an apologetic shrug before joining him. Typical Cheryl. And she said it was a girl's night out. I am not a kid so I don't sweat it too much. It doesn't take long before a cute guy ask me for a dance and I agree without stress.
  The music changes to a slow beat at this minute and Mr cute guy gets too close for comfort. I am still a little scared of intimate touches after Luis but I bite down my reserves

. I need to move on from that. I close my eyes as Mr cute guy wraps his hand around my lower back which is exposed because of my dress. We move to the song for a while before Mr cute guy gets too cozy. I feel his fingers trace the top of my ass and I go stiff.
"Relax baby. Do you want to get out of here with me!" The obnoxious guy whispers into my ear and I tell myself that I am done.
"Can you get your hands off me please?" I say, trying to be polite when what I really want to do is slap this guy and run away.
"Come on. You don't have to play the innocent girl game with me." He says, his hands still moving down to my ass. OK, that's enough.
"Get off me, bastard!" I yell then use all my strength and push on his chest to get him off me.
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" He yells at me. He looks angry and my mind integrates his face with that of Luis. I see myself back in Benin and I start to shake like a leave in the wind.
  I stagger back away from him and I see him start to move towards me but then someone taps his shoulder from behind.
 I scream in shock as the obnoxious guy is brought down with a sudden punch from the guy who just tapped him. People on the dance floor start to notice the spectacle and they stop dancing. Some are even start taking pictures.
 The new guy doesn't mind though. He grabs Mr obnoxious by the collar.
"When. A. Lady. Says. No. You. Should. Back. Off." I hear the new guy say as he land several punches against Mr obnoxious face.
 I am still in shock from the violence and I can't utter a single word to stop my savior.

Lucas:
 Sh*t. I am boiling mad. How dare this moron? I hate people who force themselves on women even though I don't like this particular woman, it doesn't make it right! I know he has had enough but I just want to punch his face into the dance floor. I raise my hand for another well aimed punched when I am grabbed around my wrist
"Let go of me! I said let go!" I try to pull my fist away to no avail. I turn around to see that it's the bouncers. Sh*t. I am getting kicked out. They pull me off my victim and I still try to fight them off but the bouncers who look like ten people combined hold me in place.
"You are causing a scene, Sir. I am afraid you are getting kicked out." They tell me and I scoff. Wasn't it this guy I gave money just an hour ago?
"Fine! Let go of me! I am done for tonight anyways." I spit out and they release their hold on me but stay close in case I try to assault that moron again. I don't even pay him a glance, I just use this opportunity to grab Benedicta and pull her with me as I walk out of the club. She doesn't even stop me till we are out in the cool air. I let go of her hand and stare down at her.
"What were you thinking dressing naked to a club! You were inviting r*pe upon yourself!" I can't help but shout at her. I see her eyes blaze over as she comes out of whatever spell she was and the next thing she does is slap me. Hard.
Wtf.
"No woman deserves to be r*ped no matter how she dresses." She sobs out then march back towards the club. I am the one who got slapped. Why is she crying? I am confused as hell as her tears gut me. I feel like a jerk and I was only trying to help.
"Hey. Wait up. I meant you_ I mean I_" why am I stuttering? I run after her to the entrance of the club.
"I left my bag in there with NY phone and keys inside!" I hear Benedicta sob out to the bouncer who isn't even paying her attention.
"Hey. The woman just told you she just wants to get her purse." I say to the bouncer who recognizes me immediately.
"I am sorry boss but this isn't the first time I have heard this same story from fans who want to get in. She isn't on the list" He tells me and I sigh. He's just doing his job.
"I came with my friend Cheryl Charles." She tells the man who shakes his head at her.
"Nice try but Cheryl already left with her father." He states and I see Benedicta's face go pale.
"Come on. Please! It's freaking 11:46pm. I can't get stranded out here. I don't even have t-fare!" Benedicta yells at the bouncer who doesn't seem fazed.
"Just let her in. She's with me." I say but he shakes his head.
"I am sorry boss but I have orders not to let you in again tonight. Now, you both should leave if you don't mind" he says. 
"Of course, we mind!" Benedicta yells. The devious woman kicks the shin of the huge bouncer before trying to run inside the club but she doesn't move three steps before the huge man grab her waist and I carry her out of the club.
"Let go of me! Let go!" She yells and I can't help but laugh. She is fiesty. I wonder why she didn't do this when that man had his hands all over her in the club. Maybe she was enjoying it and I read the situation wrong. That leaves a sour taste in my mouth and I shut that thought down. I don't care.
"You caused this!" She pout her full lips and I have to look away to curb my madness.
"Hey. I was just trying to help." I tell her.
"What do I do now?" She starts wiping her eyes and I feel like my heart is being pulled out of place.
"I can drop you off with my car." I tell her and she shakes her head.
"You are that unlucky guy from the auditions. Why do I always bad luck when you are close? I wouldn't want to get in a car with you. I might just get into an accident with the kind of luck that you bring. Or you might be taking me to the police station to get your money from me. Who knows, maybe you followed me to this club to get tour money. Yea, I am not taking that chance" She says and fold her hands stubbornly. Her folded arms push her breast up and I groan in frustration. She just keeps tempting me.
"Fine. You can suit yourself. I don't care." I say and start walking towards the parking lot.
"Hey! Where are you going? It is dark out here. A gentle Man wouldn't leave a lady standing out here." She calls after me and I smirk.
"Why don't you just give me t-fare?" She says and I stop walking to look back at her.
"So you would rather ride in a cab by this time of the night than with me?" I ask. I see her ponder on the question before pouting.
"Ummm.

Read " Stolen innocence " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. Maybe." She says and I shake my head at her.
"I am not letting you do that. It is either you sit beside that bouncer till morning or I am driving you home." I tell her and believe you me, the crazy woman starts walking back to the bouncer she just kicked. That says a lot about how she feels about being with me. Oh, I am going to make her beg me in the nearest future but for now, I am driving her home whether she likes it or yes.
  I run after her and pick her off the ground.
"What the_ drop me down! Let go of me! I don't want to ride with you!" She yells but I just keep walking till I see my car and open the passenger door. I deposit the crazy woman on the seat and her screams increase.
"Help! Help! He's kidnapping me! He's gonna r*pe me!" She yells loudly. A group of people pass into the parking lot and I can't let them think I am a r*pist so to shut her up, I press my lips to hers. She goes stiff beneath me and I count to ten to make sure the group was far gone before I pull away. I look down at Benedicta who still hasn't moved a muscle. She's just sitting there stock still.
 I use this opportunity to lock her door with my remote key and hurry to my side of the car.
"I can't believe you did that." She spit out at me as I start the car.
"I had to shut you up. And it worked." I tell her as I reverse out of the parking lot.
"Well it sucked. You kiss like an old man." She tells me and I scoff.
"Baby, when I kiss you, you will know because you won't be able to remember much else." I say and wink. 
"Arggggghh." she says and i chuckle.
"Bad luck." She says before rambling her address off to me then settle back in her seat.
