It was Friday night and Marley had just finished laying out her outfit for the night. Her hair was already lightly curled and her make-up was already done, with a light layer of foundation, smoky eye shadow and deep red lipstick.

It was five to eight when Marley heard a knock on the door. She opened it to find Brian standing there with a bouquet of orchids.

“Hi,” She smiled, “Come in.” Marley moved into the lounge area expecting Brian to follow.

“I got these for you, I didn't really know what ones you liked.” Brian said, handing her the flowers.

“Thanks for the thought, and I don't really have a favourite flower, you're the first person to get me some.” Marley laughed, moving into the kitchen to look for a vase.

“Really?” Brian asked her, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

“Well, yeah. I'm not really a dating sort of person.” She said walking back into the living room and placing the vase on the table.

“Why are you going for drinks with me then?” Brian asked, still looking confused.

“Um, you blackmailed me with a naked picture...” Marley answered him, grabbing her jacket and sliding it on.

“Oh yeah.” He laughed, “Are you ready to go?”

Brian pulled up outside a busy club.

“Are we having drinks here?” Marley asked him.

“Yeah, is there anything wrong with that?” He replied, worried.

“Um, no. I just haven't been to a club for about a year.” Marley laughed lightly.

They got out the car and instead of waiting in the line of scantily dressed girls, Brian walked straight up to the bouncer and flashed his I.D. They bouncer moved to the side and let them walk in with not even a second glance.

Brian led her up some stairs onto a second story that overlooked the dance floor. He sat Marley down in a booth and after asking Marley what drink she wanted, went to order.

Whilst he was gone Marley had a chance to think about Brian. She thought he was very attractive and he seemed to want to impress her. Her thoughts were interrupted when someone sat down next to her blocking her into the booth.

“What are you doing here on your own?” A deep voice asked, Marley looked at the man, surprised not to hear Brian. The man was small, barely twenty-one with greasy hair and ill-fitting clothes.

“I'm here with someone, they've just gone to get drinks, but thanks for your concern.” Marley smiled at the boy, discreetly moving away.
“How ;bout you ditch them and come home with me, come get some of the Tod-monster.” The boy said to her, invading Marley's personal space and waggling his eyebrows.

A hand clamped down on the boys shoulder and practically pulled him out the booth. Brian stood there looking at the boy with a look that could kill.

“Or how 'bout you hit on a girl when you've finally grown pubes and facial hair?” Brian asked the boy.

The boy looked like he was a bout three seconds from soiling his pants. He wriggled out of Brian's grasp and all but ran to his friends.

When he was far away enough, Marley burst out laughing, “Insulting the boys lack of pubes, Brian? Really?” She managed to stutter in-between laughs.

Brian shrugged and handed Marley a Long Island Iced Tea.

“You can't really say anything about pubes, you've got them growing from your chin.” Marley giggled, looking at him. He turned to her and raised an eyebrow, Marley just shrugged in response.

“First time my goatee has ever been compared to pubes...” Brian said to her.

***

Three Long Island Iced Tea's later, and Marley was grinding herself onto Brian on the dance floor.

“B-Brian?” Marley slurred, looking up at him.

“Yeah, babe?”

“Do you know that light we see when we die, do you think that's us just being pushed out of another vagina?” Marley asked him, looking at him seriously.

Brian stopped dancing and just stared at her for a few seconds, “I have no idea, but I think I need to take you home now.” He told her, pulling her off the dance floor and leading her out of the club.

“A-and, If I had a clone, like one I made right now, then I h-had sex with it, would it be incest?” She asked him again, pulling him to a stop and staring at him again.

“I don't know babe, but I'll think about it tonight. I'll call you tomorrow and I'll give you an answer, okay?” He told her, putting her into the passenger seat of his car and fastening her seat belt for her.

“Okay.” She said to him.

As Brian went to pull back, Marley grabbed his head and looked at his lips, she lowered he head and when she was about an inch away from his lips, lifted her hand and started stroking his goatee.

“I know I said it looks like pubes, but you make it sexy.” Marley giggled.

“You can stroke it all you want next time I see you, but you need to let go of my face so I can take you home, Marley.” Brian said to her, trying to extract himself from her grip.

Marley huffed and let go of him. “You're mean.”

“I know.”

When Brian pulled up outside of the block of flats where Marley lived, she was already asleep. So, not wanted to wake her, he picked her up and carried her to her front door.

“Marley, come on. Wake up.” Brian tried to wake her so she could get into her flat. She just mumbled something incoherent and turned into his chest more.

“Marley, babe, you need to open your door.” He tried shaking her again. Marley just put her hand into her bag and smacked her keys into his chest.

Brian finally found the right key and let himself into her flat, he carried her into her bedroom and laid her down on her bed. He took her shoes off and tucked her under the covers, deciding that it was best that he left her in her clothes.

He went into the kitchen and looked around for some painkillers and filled up a glass of water. He took them into her bedroom, put them on her bedside table and scribbled a note for her in the morning when she woke up.

“Na'night.” Brian said to her as he shut her bedroom door. He placed her house-keys on the table in front of the sofa and with a quick look over her flat, let himself out and headed home for the night, happy with how his date turned out.
