Once Upon a Night.

CHAPTER 1- All Night Long. Night was falling. The setting sun's red rays lit up the sky above the western horizon, it gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. Kayla sat at the corner of the cab, her petite figure leaning against the window, still deeply immersed in thoughts, her face showing she was lost in thoughts. She recalled her moments with her best friend, Jayda, every Friday Night, it was bliss. But that was a different night, Jayda wasn't there, and it seemed new to Kayla, however, it was for the better. "Hey Ma'am, we are here." The driver announced snapping Kayla out of her thoughts. Kayla looked out the window then back at the driver, her face was calm and a slight smile spreads across her face. "Thank you, sir." She said as she paid for the service, then got down from the cab. Staring at the Club, she took a deep breath, it was time to have fun. ● ● ● ● ● Her heels clicked on the worn down black placket pavement as she walked across the club parking lot. The warm Miami wind hits her bare arms, the sun was still setting, meaning in a matter of time it would be dark and the only thing that would be lighting the streets was the street lights and the open signs of bar which would have people in and out at the hour. ● ● ● ● ● ● When she finally made it into the actual club, there was thumping music playing, drinks flowing as fast as the bartenders could make them, and sweaty bodies swaying to the beat on the dance floor. Kayla looked uncomfortable and nervous as she walked into the club, dressed in a nice lace short black dress with her black Stilettos, Her long curly brown hair was let down. Even though she was giving a slutty vibe in her outfit, she was nothing close to one. For the first time in her life, she wanted to do something daring, it was her 29th birthday, it felt right to want to do something outrageous—she had just one thing in mind, however, she wasn't ready. Kayla looked around the club as she tried to adjust her sight to the dim-lit room, she needed her glasses, and contact lenses was a no no for her, she could hardly see, but she tried not to worry too much about her going blind. At least, not that night. She looked ahead of her and took in a deep breath when she finally caught sight of the bar somewhere to the right ahead of her."Thank Goodness." She murmured. She let out a sigh of relief the moment she got to the bar, she pulled took out the bar stool and took a seat. "Hey pretty. Let me guess, it's your first time here, no?" The middle-aged barman with a ginger-colored beard called to her with a welcoming smile, he looked nice. "You could say that, i'm new here in Miami". She responded. "Okay miss. I need to get back to my position. Is there anything you would like?" "Bone Dry Martini, two shots." "Woah, that's strong." Kayla giggled, "It's my birthday, I think I deserve it." "Aw! In that case, your drink or drinks tonight will be on me." He said, as he returned with the shots and placed it in front of her. "So, what brings you to the city of Miami?" He asked, propping his elbows on the bar counter as he looked at her, his curiosity burning in his eyes. Kayla gulped down one shot and grimaced before answering him, "Work." "Work?" "Yeah, I just got transferred to the head office here." "Good news, no?" She laughed, "You could say that, but no friends yet. So…" She shrugged again and let her words trail off. "One thing about Miami, you will always make friends." She gulped down the second shot, "Yeah, I might need a bottle of this." "Aye Aye Captain!" He passed a bottle to her, "Knock yourself out!" Kayla flashed him a smile of gratitude. "Thank you." "You're welcome. Feel free to come around whenever you need company." He said with a wink before returning to his spot to attend to some others who had just walked in. Kayla sighed to herself, her birthday would have been ten times better if she wasn't miles away from her best friend, nevertheless, she was excited to work at the head office, it genuinely didn't make it less easier when she misses her friends and family. She highly doubted she would make friends like her best friend, Jayda, had reassured her. "I'm here for work and work only." Kayla would say to herself. "Hey Sweetie. I heard you are new here. I'm Sam." An average- looking young man said. Of course, she had been aware that someone was sitting two bar stools away from her, but she didn't take note of him, not until he walked up to her. "Need me to show you around?" He asked with a suggestive wink. "Were you eavesdropping?" "Nah, I just overheard the conversation." He laughed, but it didn't seem funny to her. "Again, do you need me to show you around? It will be fun, I promise." "No, thanks." She said with a forced smile. He said as he leaned closer and placed a hand on her exposed thighs, "Are you sure? There's plenty of good hotels I know of." She looked at him repulsively. "Get your hands off her, sir." A young man said. "And who the f**k do you think you are?" Sam growled. "Mhm, I own this bar and if you don't want me calling the cops on you. I suggest you get lost, sir." The young man warned. Sam felt threatened, he just got out of jail, the least he wanted was to go back, Kayla watched him walk away, she turned her head to see the "hero" who had saved the night, she froze when their eyes met. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He asked softly, as he walked to her. "No,n..o, I'm f..ine." She stuttered, Kayla tended to stutter when she was in awe. "Can I sit?" "Yes, yes, please." She accepted. He took his seat on the next bar stool. "I'm Akash." He extended his hand for a handshake. "I'm, I'm Er, Kayla." She shook his hands, his firm was soft and warm, maintaining eye contacts. Kayla cleared her throat to get back right on the track. "So Ashkash.. His laugh interrupted her, and his laugh was merry and swift, it made her stomach flutter. She was amazed at how good looking he was, shining eyes, thick eyebrows, not too muscular and an impressive bearing. "It's Akash, not Ashkash." He corrected, his British accent rolling off his tongue. She blushed a deep shade of red, "So, Akash.." She made sure she got it right before moving to the next statement, "Are you Indian?" "Indian-American, you are fully American, yeah?" She nodded her head in agreement, "I'm new here in Miami though." "No friends?" She laughed self-consciously, "Why would you assume so?" "Because no one, I mean, no one would ever come to a club alone. That's the one thing people don't do alone." "Because of creeps?" She poured the drink in two shots and passed one to Akash. "Because of creeps." He agreed. "You are right, Truthfully, I hate, hate, hate, clubbing alone." He drained his shot in one glass and asked, "Why are you here alone then?" She gulped down another shot then slapped the glass on the bar. "Because it's my motherfucking birthday and I have no friends, yet." Kayla had almost laughed when Akash's eyebrows shot up in response. "So, Kayla, you would rather spend your birthday in a place you are not comfortable being at?" She ran a hand through her hair, "Now that you put it that way, I may be stupid." A laugh bubbled up, there was fun, laughter and a bone dry martini, she had started feeling more comfortable. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Somehow, they ended up staying for another hour, almost two, and had sobered up a tad bit. They were drunk but could still speak and think properly. Hysterical and tearful laughter spilled from the bar, but no one paid attention to them. At that moment, it was just them, so lost in themselves, everyone else had disappeared. "W..what? Here in Miami?" The laughter could be heard in her speech. "No Kayla, in India." He responded. "No way!" She laughed, Kayla had an infectious humour, a hearty laugh and can fill a room with her cheerful personality. "Funny thing Yeah! I can't see without my glasses." She revealed excitedly or maybe it was just the alcohol. "You wear glasses?" He asked curiously. She nodded her head in agreement, and took down another shot. "Why are you not on them right now? "Because, I don't think I would look pretty with them in this dress." She admitted, that wide-eyed innocent look and those full lips reminded him of a fairytale princess. "I think you are beautiful and would look even more beautiful with glasses on." The comment brought a blush to her cheeks. "Th..thank you." She said. "You are welcome, now, would you like to spill why you are here on your birthday?" She gave a little giggle, "Because i need a break, and google says a one night stand is a great start, please don't judge me." Akash struggled not to smile then released it with a chuckle. "Don't laugh at me." She said laughing at herself. "Okay, okay." Kayla was perplexed about how comfortable she was with Akash. When her gaze shifted to him, his eyes were warm and a smile played at the corners of his mouth. Kayla felt warmth bloom in her body in response to his stare. They stared deeply into each other's eyes, feeling the electricity for one another. "Do you have a um, have a place we could go?" She asked, not feeling a bit embarrassed. Akash looked at her, and by way of answer to her words, his eyes widened and lit up, as if hearing her thought, he gave a slow smile. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Before they knew it, they bursted through Akash's door, swallowing each other's faces, she pulled away to pull his shirt over her his head. She took off her shoes as he unbuckled his pants now walking into his room. Her lips parted as she felt his tongue rake across her top lip asking for entrance, one of his hands rubbed up her back softly across the back of her neck locking his fingers into her hair. That was enough, he dipped down and lifted her bridal style carrying her to the bedroom as he threw her on his bed. He climbed on top of her, ripping her dress in the process. His lips worked their magic starting on her toes, then towards her thighs, her heart was racing but at the same time she felt so relaxed with him in that atmosphere. Immediately, she parted her lips, their tongues entwined making her feel a shiver from our passionate kiss down to her toes. They kissed for what seemed like forever, never stopping to take a breath of air or to look into each other's eyes, their mouths never getting tired, that is when she knew she wanted him, she wanted to feel his body on her's. She kicked off her pumps as Akash stood and lowered his pants to the floor. Laying on his bed felt like laying on a cloud. His comforter was so fluffy, she felt swallowed by the feathers, there was just enough moonlight streaming in from the windows to see him. He crawled on top of her, eyes still locked on her's, his body was so warm to his touch, his lips found her in the darkness as she wrapped her legs around him, they kissed in a slow, deep passion as his hand started caressing her thighs then up to her breast. Akash's lips felt magical against her heated skin, she felt as if she was literally melting from his skilled tongue and coarse fingers. Not breaking from their kiss, he put himself inside of her, staying there for a moment letting her adjust to his size causing her to whimper in need, then he ever slowly matched her thrust for thrust. She felt orgasm building in the pit of her stomach, her breath leaving from her in the short pants, pushing her feet against the bed, her hips left the mattress, while grinding against him as her body came crashing down from the most intense bone crushing climax. He thrusted deeply another four more times letting out deep groans as he spilled himself inside of her followed by him collapsing on her. He raises up from her "You are so beautiful.", he said brushing her cheek with his thumb looking into her eyes as his were squinted a bit. A smile worked its way to Kayla's face He pulled a blanket and covered himself and Kayla with it while snuggling up to him, closing his eyes, falling into a much needed deep sleep. And so it begins.. His timing couldn't be more perfect..
