“Okay, at least it’s something.”
I send a note to Jada:Don’t worry,I'm alive! I'm on Omega 9 and I'm fine. I hope you arrived on Tarvos safely and I assume you’re with Ariana. I may not be able to respond to any messages you send back to me. I don't know yet. But I will get in touch with you soon. Again, don't worry, I'm safe. Love, Aliyah
And then I continue to quietly recline next to Kryel and mess around on my tablet, playing more games and looking at fashion while he’s working on his own tablet. It’s nice. This time spent with him is basically like I’m on vacation. I’m not worrying about my dad or if he can find me and what he’s going to do to me or my sister. And I haven’t been able to contact my agent, or anyone on the vid channels, or check my stats, or my accounts and…it’s actually freeing. It’s nice just going dark for a bit and spending time with Kryel, getting to know him.
An hour later he swipes his screen dark, puts his tablet down and announces, “Let’s go. Are you ready to go out for the night?”
“Hell yeah, let's hit it.”
We eatdinner together on the terrace, shower and then dress for our evening.
I'm in a pink tube top and skin-tight, shiny white pants that go all the way down to my ankles. White platform sandals with diamonds on top cover my feet. My fingernails still look pretty damn good, so I leave them blue and tapered. My hair is silky, shiny and long. And I’m wearing a thick belt to match Kryel’s belt, except mine is white. But I do have one of his silver buckles. He’s dressed again in black trousers with a black belt and he let me choose his silver buckle.
We pose again in the mirror side by side and this time I take a pic because we look terrific.
And then we’re on our way out.
“How did you manage this?” I ask as the front door slides into place and locks behind us.
“I cleared a path. First, we enter this private hallway. Next, we go out into the holosuite.” He opens the other door at the end of the hall and we walk through the black room with yellow grids again.
We exit the holosuite and end up in the public hallway where we originally started when we first arrived. Beings from a variety of species are walking around.
“Isn't this exactly when we're about to get arrested?” I hiss.
“No, no, don't worry. The security has been disabled here. Everywhere we walk between now and the club is a path I've chosen and the station security has been disabled. Once we arrive at the club we’re still safe because I’ve disabled their link to the station’s security feed. We’ll have exactly four hours of fun. The club security will keep us safe inside, but there will be no peacekeepers on the lookout.”
“But we are still handcuffed together. You don't think anyone is going to think this is weird?”
He shrugs his shoulders, then leans in and whispers in my ear. “Everyone thinks it's our secret sexual kink.”
“Oh gods.” My face starts to heat. We’re getting looks as we walk down the hall and enter a lift to the entertainment level. It’s because we're handcuffed together and not because they are about to turn us into the peacekeepers as fugitives.
“Just hold my hand,” Kryel says, “and then everyone will know the handcuffs are legit.”
So yes, we're handcuffed. We're striding down a public hallway. But we're holding hands. And actually I'm thinking yeah, we look like we have a kink but we look pretty damn good. Also I’m proud to be seen with this man. I think he has no idea how handsome he really is.
Also, I'm starting to think I wouldn't even need bodyguards if I had him with me. He could be my boyfriend as well as my bodyguard. I glance over at him. Wow. Am I planning a future with this guy?
And then we step into the club. It's loud. It's raucous. And I'm in love.
This is different because usually I’m one of the top celebrities in any club on New Earth. It’s taken a few years, but I (nicely) networked my way to the top, meaning I knew everyone and they knew me and I had no lack of friends or invites. But here on Omega 9 I see celebrities and other VIPs that make my mouth drop open in awe. “My heroes are all here in one place.” I smile because I consider this a new challenge. In a few years I’ll have networked my way to the top here too.
“The best clubs are on Omega 9,” he agrees.
“You've been to a lot of them?”
“I've been to all of them. On Tarvos, on Omega 9, Salo and even Chronos. But not New Earth,” he says. “This must be why you and I never met until now.”
“Won’t these beings recognize you and turn you in?”
He shakes his head. “No, none of them are criminals, or at least not the types of criminals I worked with. I picked this club because I know the code here is ‘what happens in the club, stays in the club.’”
He escorts me to a VIP lounge and we have drinks and I find myself chatting with other welcoming and glamourous females from a variety of species and I'm having a great time.
Music starts thumping. Kryel talks next to me to large group of males and females, who hang on his every word. His tall black horns, barbed tail, and shirtless red chest, cause him to stand out in the crowd. Two fantastically beautiful Gravian females are much too close to his other side, doing the hard flirt. One of the females points to the dance floor and whispers a question in his ear.
He shakes his head and looks down at me. “Let’s dance,” he announces. He takes my hand in his, lifts it to his lips for a kiss and strides away with me, not even glancing back at the females gazing at me with envy.
