Mark sat at the bar as he drank his beer and ate his dinner. His dark hair was cut short and cropped close to his face. His red bandanna wrapped around his head and dark sunglasses on top. He took a bite of his steak as his attention went to the TV that was blaring the news loudly.

"Yo, Mark" Roger walked up to him and patting him on the back taking a seat next to him at the bar. Roger was buff with short dark hair as he walked over in a t-shirt and jeans. He raised a finger and the bartender got him a beer. "How's it going?"

"Hey, Roger. Same old some old" He said and turn to talk to him a bit. Roger looked up at the TV as he caught a bit of what they were talking about on the news.

"How are the kids?"

"Grown" Mark laugh at him as Roger's beer was placed. "They call when they need something other then that nothing special."

"You need something to fill your time." Roger started and Mark looked at him and straighten up as he placed his fork and knife on the empty plate. "Now, I know that look... just listen to me." Roger started and Mark sat back his arms crossed against his chest. Roger begins to tell him how becoming a bodyguard and he has everything that he needs to know already and it would be something to make his days past faster while he still makes money.

"Okay and if I take this job of yours," Mark asked, "how long is this job needed?"

"A few months," Roger said and finished his beer. "I am sure I can make it worth you're wild." He paused and waited for Mark's next question. The TV blared as both men look up at the news.

"The police have been called to Actress Mia Reyes' home for the fourth time this week. There seems to be a stalker that keeps breaking into her actress home even tho she is not currently there. Mia is the working on her new movie "Hand Raised" which brings to light a teacher and student relationships. Police said that no trespassers were found on the property. " There was some B roll video's played of an average high female with auburn hair and green eyes with a small muscle built. Mark enjoyed watching the actress move across the screen. The news anchor came back on the screen and the men looked at each other.

"So, I have a job already in the pipeline which I would think that you would like," Roger said and took a drink of his beer.

"Yeah, the way you're describing the life... it would be very different." Mark chuckled a little took a drink of his beer.

Dean looks over the papers sitting on his desk. He ran his hand through his short dark hair as he tried to think of what he needed to do next. There has to be a way to change what is going on. He took a deep breath as there was a knocking on the door. "Come in" He called and it the door opened.

"Hi, Dean" the auburn bubbly girl walks in with a smile on her face.

"Mia!" Dean says and stand up walking around the desk to her and hugs her tightly. "I am glad you came in."

"Of course" She smiled and hugged him and the motion to her to take a seat.

"How are things in the movie?"

"Good good" She smiled and crossed her legs and leaned forward a bit her top showing a bit of her cleavage as her eyes scanned his desk "So you're reading the trash"

"Well, I think that you need to start being careful about things out there" He picked up a bunch of papers and placed them top of each other. He took a deep breath and looked at Mia. He was just going to have to say it outright "Mia, your young and this is the first big movie that you need to take precautions on this stuff."

"Yes I see where you are coming from, but I don't need a babysitter" She huffed at him a bit.

"Roger has this guy in mind. He will defiantly be the type of person that would stop anyone in their tracks from trying to get to you." Mia rolled her eyes at Dean as she really did try to listen to him, but was not happy about what was going to transpire. "So, I want you to work with each other and make sure that you are safe and above all can you please listen?"

"Yes Sir," She said with a giggle in her voice and Dean looked at her and just rolled his eyes.

"Roger" He called and the door opened. Two very large men walked in and one pointed to the chair and the other one sat down. Mia looked at the gentleman that sat next to her. He was nice to her eyes gently gazing over his ripped body his rugged look of not being shaved for a few days. His hair short and buzzed cut and sunglasses still on even tho he was inside the building now. She shifted in her chair as he took a seat. "Damia this is Mark... Mark this is Damia," Dean said and he turned to her and stuck out his hand and the two of them shook hands.

"Its Mia" Mia said with a smile her green eyes looking staring at him as he lowers his glasses to look at her and then push them back up.

"Yes Ma'ma," Mark said and his southern draw showed its color in his words. His heart raced a bit as he began to put the dots together. He began to automatically start to tell himself that he needed to just see this as a job.

"Mia... Mark will now be in charge of your security and will follow you any place you go," Dean told her and her mouth dropped at the bit. "He will stay in the guest room of the rental"

"Dean, don't you think that this is just a bit much?"

"No," He said shortly "Enjoy your new teammate" Mia turned her head to Mark and smiled as he minds raced with the words you have no idea what you're in for.

"First thing is that I will need a copy of your agenda," Roger said and looked at Mia who was already wanting to fire her mouth off.

Mia stood up and waved her hand in a magic wand type of way with a smile " Dean will produce it." Deans eye just about bugged out of his head as Mia walked out of the room. Mark got up and ran after her as she walked down the hallway.

"Damia" Mark called to her and she turned around with the wrath of hell in her eyes. She stomped back at him and she stops nose to chest with him.

"Don't you ever call me that name!" She said slow and hard to him as she pointed at his chest. She was making her point loud and clear to him. Mark smiled as he listens to her a bit surprised that she had the spunk to turn around and tell him about himself. She poked him once more and then turned and walked away. Mark smirked as he followed her and shook his head. He was in for a treat.

Roger meets up with Mark in front of the rental. "I will go in with you and get the ground rules laid out."

"Yeah, you go ahead and do that. I am sure this feisty one will give you a piece of her mind." Roger looked at him and raised an eyebrow with a smile. This was not Rogers first rodeo and knew what had to be said. Roger started to walk into the house and Mark followed. Mark closed the door behind the very expensive house. He was a bit amazed that a young lady like her self had such a place.

"Your quarters are right over here right off of the front door." Mark placed his bags at the door and then followed Roger as they walked into the kitchen watching Mia pouring her self a drink.

"You gentlemen want a drink?" She asked a bit dry as she looked up eyeing up Mark coming in slowly behind Roger. He leaned himself up against the way and just watched what was going to happen.

"No Ma'am" Roger started as he walked up to the aisle and took a seat placing his papers on the aisle. "We need to place some ground rules"

"Thank you, Sir, but I have had enough of your rules today." She took a long sip of her wine and took a look at Mark. "Dean might believe that I need a babysitter, but I been fine here on my own."

"Are you even 21?" Mark asked and she placed her glass down on the counter.

"Are you 21?" She giggled as she repeated the question and took another sip "For your information, I am just a few months older than my 21st birthday." She stood in silence and stared at Mark who stared back at her.

"Well yes," Roger brought the attention back to him. "There are a few rules we must go over," He said once more and Mia was getting tired of playing is little game. She rolled her eyes as he allowed Roger to read off of the papers on the counter. Mia continues to sip her wine until the glass was gone. She sighed heavily and finally got Roger to shut his mouth more than a breath of air.

"So, since you finally shut the hell up. Leave your little contract on the table and I will deal with it later. I am sure Dean has read all the juicy little tide bits about." She could feel her cheeks getting flush with the wine or maybe her mind, but either way, it was time for Roger to take his leave. She ran her hand against her cheek as she closed her eyes. She turned around and took out the bottle of wine again and poured herself another glass.

"Damia, with all respect I need you to sign this contract tonight." Roger said and Mark crossed his arms and re-positioned himself up against the wall with a smile on his face as Roger continued to speak "Mark will get himself situated in the quarters down the hall-"

"Bite your tongue right this minute!" Mia started cutting off Roger who now sat straight up in his chair. "I had about enough of your games and enough of your mouth. My name is Mia Reyes NOT Damia and since you barely can get that right you can leave your stupid papers and I will sign it when I am ready too." She took a small sip "Your baboon can return them" She took picked up her wine and walked over to Mark and he stood up straight as she took steps very close to him. He took a deep breath of her scent in as it tickled around his nose. He took the deepest breath he could her scent was inviting him to lean in even more. "Take note... don't be an ass like him" She stopped pulling his ear down to her and whispered softly and sexy to him before she walked past him. His eyes staring up and down her every move she made as she walked up to the stairs.

"Well, um, Mark here is the contract the places that need to be signed are marked." Roger said and Mark turned his head to him "Once she signed it... keep it and I will come back in a few days to pick them up" Roger slapped his shoulder and smiled a bit "It's just a mouthy little teen... nothing more" He said and smiled and Mark smiled back. "Just some advice... don't let her out of your sight."

"I raised 4 of them... I am sure this one will be no different" He chuckled as he saw Roger out of the house. He locked the door behind him and went into his quarters and started to unpack his things. Mark put the TV on low as it filled the area with noise. The quiet of the house was uneasy to him yet as he got himself use to his area. He sat at the small desk and opened his laptop and started to do his own research on a "Damia Reyes."

Mia woke up early that morning and headed downstairs into the small gym area and started her work out. She wore a work out bra with a baggy t-shirt on top and some yoga leggings. Her hair was up in a high ponytail as she continued on her way. She looked at the time and was hopeful that she would be finished with her workout by 6:30 am.

Mark rolled around his mind not quieting down. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. The house was silent with not many cars even going up and down the street. Mark gave up and got up looking at the clock saying 6:45 am. He turned on the water for the shower and began to get himself ready for the day.

Mia still had his headphones in her ears as she danced around the kitchen as she started to make some breakfast. She turned her back around as she started to cook the eggs over the stove and put some cheese on top of them. She wiggled her hips to the song as Mark walked into the kitchen.

"Good Morning Mia," He said and took a seat at the aisle next to the paperwork and in front of two cups of coffee. He noticed they still were not signed. Mark tilted his head noticing that Mia was dancing to music that he couldn't hear. He smiled and decided to just take in the sights, after all, she was not bad to look. His mind races with a million thoughts as Mia turned around and caught her breath.

"Mark!" She gasped and then quickly pulled out her earbuds "I didn't hear you come in"

"How could you when you have those things in your ears?"

"I was just trying to be polite" She rolled her eyes and started to serve the eggs onto the two places. She placed the hot frying pan into the sink with the spatula. "I hope you eat eggs." She said and reached for both the plates and walked around next to Mark and set on of the plates down in front of him. He could smell her sweet scent coming from her.

"I do. Thank you" He said and she looked up at him her green eyes meeting his and she smiled. She walked around behind him and took the chair next to him pushing the paperwork out of her way.

"I have to be on set at 8. Are you going to follow me there too?"

"Yes," He said and took a drink of the coffee that was in front of him. Mia sighed a bit and her eyes went over to the paperwork.

"I am not a child. I don't need a babysitter" She paused and Mark smiled and looked over at her.

"How about look at it as a partner" He paused "You will always have company... and a friend." Mia laughed a bit

"Well," She turned the paperwork around to her and started to read it "I guess I am stuck signing this."

"Unfortunately, yes. Dean believes that you are in some type of danger."

"Dean is always so cautious. He didn't want me to even take this roll at first, but once he started to see the payout." She paused "Maybe you are right... I need a partner" She smiled a bit and thought to her self at least having Mark around my eyes candy couldn't be that bad.

The two finished their breakfast and Mia left the kitchen to go get dressed. Mark waited for her to come back downstairs as he made his way through the house once more making sure everything was in place. He looked down at the paperwork Roger left. He saw she still didn't sign it. He figured that he would just speak to her about it later.

"Mark?" Mia called to him and a smile came across his face as he lifted his head up.

"Coming," He said and walked out of the kitchen. Mia looked at him with a faint smile on her lips. "You ready... let's go knock them dead," He said and he opened the door walking out first to look around and Mia following him. The two of them got into the car and began to chat about the movie while they made their way to the set.

Mark got out of the car and then Mia as they walked into the set. Mark put his sunglasses down over his eyes. Mia noticed and tilted her head a bit as now she couldn't tell where he was looking. It sort of bothered her, but she understood. Michael walked up to her as he still played with his blonde hair on the top of his head.

"Mia!" He called and hugged her and Mark followed the two as Michael walked her to makeup and continued to talk on and off about his life. Mia looked over her shoulder and looked at Mark who noticed that she was looking at him and nodded his head. Mia walked into makeup and closed the door behind her. Mark stood outside the door and watched all the people running around the set.

"Woah, Sorry big man. I didn't see you there" Michael said as he walked out of the makeup room and almost ran into him. Mark stepped aside even more and just looked at him. "I am Michael Davis. I am a male lead." He put out his head and Mark shook it.

"I am Mark. Mia's bodyguard"

"Nice to meet you," Michael said and smiled at him. Mark did not flinch "Your one lucky man?"

"Why is that?" He asked

"Mia Reyes... She is the next big thing. Plus who wouldn't want to be with that" He paused as Mark did not change his facial expression?

"She is my client, but thanks for the advice"

"Not a problem, bro," He said with a smile on his face and he walked away. Mark began to wonder if everyone in Hollywood was lacking the common sense or was it just him. Mark stood there and just waited around until Mia came out of makeup.

"Hi, I need to go get my outfit on" Mia said and looked up at him. Her hair was up in pigtails and she looked a lot younger then she already did. Mark was not sure about how he felt about this. Mia walked over to another room and Mark followed a few steps behind her. He began to understand how controversial the movie she was making.

Mark stood on the side of the set as he watched Mia and Michael interact as no one would think for a school-age child to act. Mia stood along the side of the desk that Michael sat at. She played with her hair as she delivered her lines "But Mr. Miller... I never did anything like that before".

"Cut!" The director called and jumped down off his chair and walked over to Mia. "I need you to say these lines with more innocents... more childlike," He said to her and repeated a few of the lines. Mark watched him coach her a few times as she stood there with her short dress. She repeated the line over and over as she walked around the room and then back at the desk. She placed her hands on the desk and the director yelled "Action!"

Michael said his line and then placed his hand on top of her. Mark noticed that this was different than the first few times that they did this scene. It threw off Mia and she said her line and it was innocent as it could be. Michael continued to do the scene. Mark watched him guide Mia to sit on his lap. Mark's stomach began to flop around. Michael portraying a teacher basically seducing a child. Michael continued to deliver his lines. Mia looked up at him innocent and closed her eyes and Mark began to see her as a child having her first kiss with this adult. He couldn't believe that something this controversial was going to be shown.

Mark stood outside the dressing room while Mia was changing for the day. He felt a bit dirty that he just watched this event happen. He knew that Mia was the legal age, but to have her dressed as a child and act like a child. It was just wrong to him. Mia came out of the dressing room. Her hair still in ponytails. "You ready?" She asked and Mark heard the question too innocently for him. He walked out first to the car and Mia followed a few steps behind. Mark was still quiet and Mia finally broke the silence.

"What's wrong?" She asked and looked at him "I am sure you knew what the movie was about."

"Well yes I did, but it is just so different to see it... played out in front of me"

"Um, yes that is what a movie does."

"I guess it is just me."

"I am of legal age. I am just playing a part." She paused "That is what people do not understand. This is a situation that some of the students, male and female, go through on a daily bases. I am just being a voice for those children that can not speak for themselves." She started to pull at her ponytails making her hair loose and wild "These children are victims and do not even know that they are since the adult in this situation is using them on their own advantages."

Mark understood that took a deep breath, and look at Mia. He knew what she was saying and could see what she was trying to do. Mark watched Mia as she played with her wild hair sticking out from all the sides. She reached over and grabbed the bottled water and opened it taking a few sips out of it. "We need to talk about the contract... I know Roger is going to want me to have it signed and sent back."

Mia took a deep breath "Would it be better if I just tell you I will look at it later?"

"How about tonight?" He asked and Mia rolled her eyes as she slouched down deeper into the chair.

"Dinner?" She paused and looked up at him "I will look over the contract over dinner... with you?" She smiled brightly as she liked the idea she was coming up with.

Mark was a bit surprised by her comment and then just smiled. "Sure," He said and his mind went a million miles a minute.

"I know the place to go to. Nothing too fancy, just be ready at 6" She said to him and the car stopped. Mark got out of the car and then Mia. He walked into the house and Mia followed closing the door behind him. Mia went upstairs and got into the bathtub. She grabbed her cell phone and started to text her friend Anna about making plans for Friday night. Mia was not the most outgoing purpose person since the start of this movie but felt like it was time to hit the town this week.

Mark stood at the Fourier as he tried hard not to pace. He wore black jeans and a decent top nothing too flashy, but he looked good. "Why am I even bothering to try to win her over. This is Hollywood." his mind raced over and over. Mia walked down the stairs in black Capri with black heels on. She wore a white off the one shoulder top. Her hair was down in big curls " You ready?" she asked Mark with a smile across her lips.

"Sure," He said and Mia walked into the kitchen quickly and grabbed the contract and put it into her purse. She walked back to the Fourier and Mark opened the front door and walked out first. Mia followed him into the car in the driver seat.

Mia turned on the music to the car and started down the road. The two of them chatted as she drove to a steakhouse. Mia parked the car "Tonight we are just normal people" She giggled a bit and looked over at Mark who nodded with agreement. They both got out of the car and Mia waited for Mark in front of the car. He joined her and the two walked side by side with each other.

The hostess greeted them "Hello, How can I help you?"

"Reservation under Reyes" She paused and looked at Mark with a smile proud of herself that he was even here with her.

"Oh yes right this way," She said and lead the two of them to the table. The other patrons in the restaurant began to chatter as the two of them walked through them. She knew it was just a matter of time before the paparazzi was here. Mia sat down at the table and Mark sat across from her.

"I enjoy this place," She said and picked up the menu "Order your self a beer lighten up a bit."

"Sounds like a good plan" He smiled and looked at the menu "You sure do know what a man like me likes."

"Yeah, I took you for a meat and potatoes type of guy" She giggled and the waiter came over and took their drink order and quickly returned with drinks and finished the rest of the order. "So, on Friday my friend Anna wants to go out"

"That is fine. I can't see any harm in that"

"Yeah, It will be fun," She said as she took a sipped of her drink "So, tell me about you, Mark"

He took a big drink from his beer "Well, I am been married twice and divorced twice. I have 4 grown children. I have a very long-standing professional wrestling contract." He said and looked over at her a half smirk on his face. 'What am I thinking there is such an age difference between us, not the mention Hollywood thing' Mark thought as he waited for Mia to start to talk. He took another sip of his beer.

"Sounds like you have a great life. Why become a bodyguard?" She paused "I know about how much a professional wrestler makes there is no need to really work."

"I need something to do to past the time." He said and was pretty honest with the answer.

Mia took a sip of her drink and placed it down "Well, to joining along for the fun-filled ride" She raised her glass and smiled as she waited to Mark to tap her glass and drink with her. He did and they both took a drink and placed the glasses down. The two ordered another drink as their food came. Mark got right into his food. He could not wait. The food looked so good and he was beginning to allow the alcohol to start to affect him.

"So, I guess since we both have some liquid courage and some food in our stomach we should talk about this contract?" Mia brought up as she patted her purse.

"You make it sound like some type of jail," Mark said with a deep chuckle.

"Well it is part of me signing my life away" She sighed and pulled out the papers "I take my privacy very serious. I don't need someone who is going to leave me high and dry." She began to glance over them her eyes catching certain sentences of it. "What if I do not agree with some of the wording?"

"Cross it off," Mark said "Roger did not tell me that you had to agree to everything. He said that you just had to sign them" Mia tilted her head and smiled Mark was right she began to think about how this could be fun. The only order that Roger gave him was to have her sign them. She could change the contract in any way she feels fit.

The two of them finished their drinks and paid for the meal. Both of them enjoying each other and themselves like they haven't in a long time. Mia stood up from the table "I must use the restroom before we leave"

"Not a problem," Mark said and the two of them walked over there. Mark stood outside waiting for Mia as she used the restroom. Mia took this time to make sure she looked on point. She put her lipstick back on and waved her hand in front of her lips to dry down the matte color. She went back out and seen Mark standing there. She could not help but put her childish grin on her face as she looked up at him her cheeks becoming warm.

The two of them made their way to the front of the building to get out to the car. Paparazzi swarm as one of them called out to Mia. Mia put her hand on Mark's back as he put his arms out to keep them at bay. She slowly made her way to the car. Mark put her in the passenger seat and walked around the front of the car and got into the driver seat. He pulled down the blinders and started the car. He slowly pulled out of the space neither one of them saying a word.

Finally, all the lights were out of there face "Still wanting to be part of this fun?" Mia asked as she looked over at Mark his hand on the shifter and his face looking straight ahead. Mia never left anyone drives her car and here Mark was putting himself right in the line of action. Mia reached over and placed her hand on top of his. She could feel his cool skin against hers. Her heart began to race as she was not sure how he was going to respond tho this.

"Of course," He said and looked down at her. He could feel his heart began to beat fast and could not tell if it was because of the alcohol or his own mind. He moved his fingers on his hand that was touching Mia and rubbed her hand softly. He pulled in to her gated community and up into the driveway in the on the hill. He put the car in park and got out of the car.

Mia watched him walk around the front of her car and opened her car door. He stretched out his hand and she took it, and in that split second Mia decided better do it now. She wrapped her arms around him and stood on her tiptoes even in heels and placed her lips right on his. The sparks between them flew. Her heart raced as he returned her kiss with passion and purpose. He picked her up in one motion and placed her sitting on the car. Their kissing getting deeper and deeper. Mark grabbed hair and pushed her body closer to him. She spread her legs wrapping her legs around his hips. He pulled her head back her neck exposed to him and started there kisses and licking her neck.

"M-Mark" her lips uttered his name breathless as he feverishly ran his hands against her back and his lips on her neck. He regained himself quickly and took a step back.

He gently rubbed her cheek and she leaned her head right into his hand "I should get you inside." He picked her up and placed her back on her feet. He took her hand and the two walked into the house.

Mark laid in bed once more. His mind racing and replaying what has happened last night. His body responding wanting more than just a kiss that they had. He rolled over and looked at the clock reading at 6 am. He got up and went to take a shower. He needed to cool off and get his attention back at the job at hand. He walked out of his quarters and seen the papers sitting out on the table with a cup of coffee. He sat down in front of them and started to look through the papers. He noticed the first thing that Mia signed the contract. He then started to see the rules that she crossed out. 'The bodyguard will not have a sexual relationship with the client. The bodyguard will not drink alcohol. The bodyguard will not accept gifts from the client.' Mark stopped reading and folded the paperwork and placed it in his pocket. 'Well, she is allowing all doors and opportunities to be open' He thought as he reached for the coffee and took a sip.

Mia came back downstairs and walked into the kitchen. She stood next to the chair next to Mark. "You ready?" She asked with a smile her cheeks warmed. Mark nodded and the two of them headed out the door Mark first and Mia following.

Mark stood in the background of the set. He watched Mia play this child and he could feel the heat rise within him to want to put Michael in his place for touching a child. Mia and Michael continue acting out the scene in the classroom. Mia sat on Micheal's lap as he pretended to teach her something on the computer. Micheal pushed aside Mia's hair and kissed her neck once.

Mia giggled "Mr. Miller, that tickles"

"Julie people that care for one another tickle each other." He paused and moved his hands behind the desk so that it was out of camera range. Mia jumped in his lap and he whispered something to her.

Mark rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses as they continued. He could not stand that she was making such a film. He knew that she was talented and knew where she was coming from. She was giving a voice to all those children that could not speak. Mark crossed his arms in the front of his chest. Mia looked over her shoulder and could see Mark just past Michael. Her heart began to rapidly beat as she looked at him. Micheal moved in to kiss her and she closed her eyes. Her body starting to slowly respond.

Mark sat across from Mia at the aisle. The two of them not saying a word to each other. Mia knew it had to do with the movie since there was nothing else that could set him off like this. She got up not finishing her meal and took it to the sink. She placed her plate in the sink and grabbed her self a glass of wine. She looked at Mark who focused on his plate and then walked out of the room to the deck taking the bottle of wine with her.

Mark finished his meal and then cleaned up the dishes. He didn't know what to say to Mia. He began to see why some of the rules were in place. He could not separate himself from the bodyguard. He wants to be there for Mia, but at the same time couldn't get past that child that she played. Mark walked outside to the deck. He placed his hand on Mia's shoulder. "Come inside your getting cold," He said and she rubbed her head against his hand. He stood in that position for a long time waiting for her to move with no results. She cuddles into his hand over and over. He finally bent down and picked her up walking with her in his arms back into the house. He placed her down on the sofa and she quickly fell asleep. Mark covered her up with a blanket and returned to his quarters.

Mia was getting dressed upstairs to go out with the girls as she danced around the room taking sips of her wine as she wore a small black mini dress with black heels. She didn't go out often but knew that everything will be fine since Mark was going to be coming along. She looked at her phone and seen that Anna texted her.

'Come on miss famous it is time for some fun' Anna wrote

'Yeah yeah, I will be there shortly. Any paps there?'

'Not until you arrive I am sure.'

Mia put her phone in her little clutch bag and pulled on her heels and ran down the steps. "Mark you ready?" she called for him and he stood at the door in his jeans and t-shirt.

"I thought that this was just drinks with friends," he asked

"Yes it is" she giggled "and there is music and drinks... so you know I have to dress up"

"Come on," He said and walked out first to the driver side of the car and Mia got into the passenger side. She got into the car and the two made their way out to the club. The two got in the club without any issues. Mia ran into the crowd of people finding Anna, Maria, Laura, and Lisa all sitting at a table with drinks already around.

"MIA!" Mark called and she stood up and waved for him to come over.

"Oooh, who is that?" Anna asked with a very surprised look on her face.

"He is my new bodyguard, Mark. Girl I want him so damn bad" She said and Anna started to laugh.

"Always on the hunt aren't you," Maria said with a laugh and Mark finally made it to the table.

"Girls, this is Mark... Mark this is Anna, Maria, Laura, and Lisa," Mia said with a smile at Mark as she took a seat on the table and giggled. "Come on girls round of drinks" she laughs and the girls began to loosen up a bit.

Mark stood on the side of the table with his arms crossed in front of him. The music was loud and the crowd was growing and growing as the night continued. He looked down at his watch and see 11 pm. Mia pulled on to Mark's shirt and he turned down to listen to her. "Come sit down lighten up a bit. I will get you a beer."

"No no... not tonight," He said to her and shook his head.

"Well, I need another drink... I will be right back" Mia said and slide out of the booth.

"I will go with you" Mark said

"No, I am good to stay with the group. I will be right back." She said with a smile as she swinging on him a bit. He smiles and looked down at her and leaned down to her.

"I think we should call it a night after this one" He whispered to her and she stuck out her tongue at him and jumped down into the crowd and Mark watched her as she started to make her way to the bar.

Mia leaned up against the counter of the bar and ordered her drink. She danced to the music as she waited for her drink to come to her. She smiled and paid for the drink and picked it up and took a sip. She turned around and started to make her way back through the crowd.

Mark looked over the girls at the table as they laughed with one another. People began to scream from where Mia was standing. Mark's head turns toward the directions of the noise and the screaming, In a matter of seconds loud popping sounds went off. Mark jumped down from where the table was and started towards where he last seen Mia. "MIA!" He called out to her as he could not hear or see her. He continued to run into the crowd of people who were now all in a panic and screaming. People running out of the bar into the dead of night. Several more loud popping sounds echo in the club. Mark spotted the shooter darting out the front door. Mark pushed through people "MIA!" He kept screaming unable to find her. Mark's heart raced and a sense of panic was starting to take over him.
