Prologue:

The upbeat song came to an end, the sound of a calmer tune played from the dj booth at the front of the dance floor where a large group of people were crowded around, drinks in their hands, jumping and singing along to the music, some were grinding against one another whilst others just stayed close to their companions enjoying themselves and letting loose, something Sophia had planned to do since the beginning of this week and now that it was a Saturday night she was doing exactly that.

The young girl quickly made her way over to the bar area the best she could in the heels she was wearing, her head was spinning, her vision slightly blurry, her golden hair was messily swooped over my head, she felt hot and thirsty from the constant movement on the dance floor and from how much alcohol she was consuming between every few songs. Jumping up unsteadily onto the bar stool, Sophia beckoned the bar tender over the best she could in the state she was in and tried to straighten herself out so that bartender had a chance of serving her knowing already how wasted she was.

"Same again" she told him straight running her fingers through her hair and she fluttered her long eyelashes at him to increase the chances of him serving her again. The bartender threw his towel over his shoulder giving the young girl in front of him a surprised look that she really wanted more to drink.

Before the bartender even had a chance to reply to her a figure came and sat down beside Sophia on another bar stool and pushed some money notes onto the surface in front of pair and towards the man behind it "Make that two"

Confused Sophia turned her head to the side blinking away the blurriness what kept taking over her. Her eyes examined the man who had now sat down beside her, they had dark short brown hair and their eyes were a light green hazel colour, a dark layer of stubble formed over their chin and along their jaw. He wore a tight black jumper which was rolled up to his elbows; you could see the outline of his muscles through the material and Sophia couldn't help but stare at the man in front of me. Sophia didn't know whether it was due to the alcohol but something about him was just drawing him into her. She couldn't help but feel like she recognised him from somewhere before.

Shaking away her thoughts, Sophia raised her eyebrow up at the man beside her a smirk playing on her lips as the man span his head round to face her a serious look on his face "What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean?" she asked him confused as to why this random man was getting involved with her when they didn't even know each other and Sophia had come to the club alone, she wasn't with any friends or a partner. It was just herself. There was a reason for that. Sophia just wanted to get away, get away from her house, her friends, her normal everyday life. She wanted to have fun and she thought that was exactly what she was doing, what was the harm in that?

"What are you doing here at the club?" The guy repeated beside her.

Laughing to her drunkenly, Sophia stared back at him more amused at his question than a sober person would have been but Sophia found everything funny when she was drunk "What are you on about? It's a club duh, what else do you think you do at a club. You drink, you dance, you meet people, you smoke and if you're lucky enough, you get lucky"

He shook his head coming closer towards me his elbows now resting against the bar before he spoke quietly to her "No, I mean the fact that you're in a club and drinking alcohol under aged"

Rolling her eyes at his words, knowing she had heard it all before from people who worked at clubs and the customers but no one complained about it and still continued to get her drinks and let her come and go as she pleased whenever she wanted. "What? Are you a cop or something? Are you going to arrest me?" Sophia said back to him sarcastically finding the situation amusing and her sarcasm was even more on point than usual.

"No, I'm just wondering, wondering what a young girl like you is doing in a place like this" He responded back and rotated back round in his seat thanking the bartender as he placed the drinks we had ordered down in front of them on a tray. Taking a shot glass off of the plastic tray he carefully sat the glass down in front of Sophia before he picked up one for himself bringing up to his lips looking back at the girl. "Cheers"

Grabbing the shot glass, she downed it quickly her eyes not leaving his as the strong taste hit the back of her throat and she pulled a disgusted face at the liquid. The man next to her chuckled wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, putting his shot glass back onto the tray and she copied his actions still trying to work out how she knew she recognised this man from somewhere.

"Do I know you? Like I feel like I really know you from somewhere, did you go to my school? Or do you live on my street?" Sophia rambled to him the side effect of the alcohol taking over her body more as she tried her best to act normal and that she was in control of the situation rather than her drunken mind.

"No you don't know me" he said sharply the seriousness from before returning within seconds and Sophia felt a hint of defence come from him, like he didn't like showing any emotion, like he was numb and serious all the time. Even if he did show any emotion just once, he would instantly go back to the solemn mood. She already felt intrigued by this man, his story and maybe even the way he slightly just a tiny bit sounded interested in her.

The sound of Tiésto Wasted played through the club, the group of individuals near the dj began cheering at the song, a personal favourite of everyone in the club and it was currently Sophia's favourite song too. Grinning madly at the song choice she hastily sprung down from her chair and held onto the side of the bar trying to steady herself up the best she could. "Come dance with me"

The man stared back at her baffled at what the young girl was asking him to do, there was no way in hell he was going to dance with her. He only came her for a few drinks, just to drown his sorrows and that's when he spotted Sophia sat at the bar. He didn't plan on taking to the young girl, but he remembered her from being around town and couldn't help but want to talk to a stranger tonight, someone who didn't know him well enough to get involved with him. But here, Derek Hale was trying his up most to put up his guard like always and not let the girl in.

"No I don't dance" Derek stated cautiously before he called the bartender back over and ordered some shots for himself and faced Sophia again who was pouting at him obviously saddened by his refusal.

"Come on, loosen up" Sophia paused leaning over and grabbing his wrist and making his hand wave up in the air in time to the music "I bet everyone always tells you off for being so serious"

Derek smirked at the girl's attempts to make him dance with her as the tray of shots came over to him and he quickly downed all of them one after the other. Whilst Sophia still continued to hold onto his wrist and began cheering after he swallowed the last shot. He couldn't help but find himself laughing at the girl, for once in his life he actually felt relaxed and he knew it was down to Sophia being so easy going and somewhat adorable. Did I really just think that? Derek thought to himself as his eyes traced over the girl next to him, she was an average height with a slim body, her legs were out and a pair of high waisted denim shorts sat on her hips alongside a blue floral bandeau showing a small amount of cleavage at the top. She had fairly long golden brown hair what was messy due to the humidity in the club, her eyes were a similar colour to Derek's and she had plump red lips. Sophia's image made her look a lot older than she actually was and Derek definitely believed that.

"Alright, Alright, I'll dance with you"
