Serena watched the people walk outside the building from her balcony as she drank her coffee. She knew something was wrong.

It had been a week since she last met Carlo and she was happy with the way things had worked out. She had her AD back up. Luca had paid her a little money just for going to meet him in prison. She paid her rent, she also bought a new pair of heels for a client she was meeting today.

His name was Noah and she was supposed to meet his parents today after church. They were going to have a nice lovely meal called Brunch.

Noah was British. He had moved to America a year ago and his friends would tease him saying he didn't have a girlfriend. A week ago, Noah had reached out to Serena asking if she was willing to be his fake girlfriend. A stupid question to ask someone whose job was just that.

Serena finished drinking her coffee, as she noticed the men outside the building changing cars.

Ever since she left the prison, she had 2 cars parked outside her apartment. The first time she noticed it, was when she was enjoying the view from the window when she saw a guy staring up at her. That's when they moved to cars.

Luca told her that Carlo wanted to see her again. She didn't want to see him though. She never wanted to go to prison to meet him.

Her eyes wandered around below her balcony as two guys in black suits got out of a car, and sat in a different one. They just sat. Waiting. Watching.

Serena stood up and walked back inside her apartment. She remembered a couple of days ago when she walked up to the car and knocked on the window. Two men were sat inside but chose to ignore her so she left and carried on like it never happened.

She was really close to calling the police one day when she heard ruffling outside her door. Clare wasn't home that day. It was her, alone in the house. A piece of paper had been slid through the door.

Call the cops and Clare is dead.

It was a stupid threat because she knew nobody would kill Clare. Not even those guys outside, but Serena still felt that fear inside of her of losing someone. Clare was a big part of her life and she wasn't going to lose her. She ignored the cars outside ever since.

The phone rang, pulling Serena out of her thoughts. She picked up her phone and answered it knowing it was Noah. She had saved his number in her contacts with a heart.

"Hey," Noah said as soon as she picked up.

"Hey when are you picking me up?" Serena asked as she walked to her bedroom. She still had to pick out a dress for herself.

"About an hour. You've got the story straight right?" Noah asked sounding a little nervous.

"Yes Noah. Don't worry about it. We met at the park. I was walking my dog when he saw a cat and started chasing after it. You saved the day. The rest is history. We've been dating for 6 months, okay?" Serena told him, laughing a little at his nervousness.

She opened her closet door and picked out the blue dress. It was a dark blue dress that went to her thighs and had a tiny slit on the left hand side.

"My parents won't be joining us. They've got plans, it's only going to be my mates. I hope I don't sound rude, but could you wear something sexy?" Noah's voice floated through the air as Serena put the phone on speaker. She placed it on the bed and looked at the dress she was holding.

"I can do that-" She laughed a little, "Where are we going though?" She asked as she placed the dress back in the closet.

That wasn't as sexy as the others she had.

"Just the local pub," Noah answered as Serena frowned.

"How about we go to a nightclub instead? I can wear my sexiest dress?" Serena asked, lowering her voice a little, as she hoped he bought her seductive voice.

Everyone fell in love with that voice.

"Yeah of course!-" Noah quickly replied and she grinned, "So I'll pick you up at 10 tonight?" Noah asked and she grinned again.

"Yes. Remember don't buy the first drinks. Let them buy it first." Serena told him.

"Okay. Talk to you later!" he hung up on her and she started looking for a sexier dress.

***
10 pm came awfully fast for Serena.

She quickly wore her black 6 inch heels as she heard a knock on her front door.

"Clare! Can you get that?!" Serena shouted from her room as she stood up, looking at herself in the mirror.

"I'm in a towel!" Clare replied back.

"Just open it!" Serena shouted again a laugh following it.

She stared at herself, fixing her curls quickly. The red dress she was wearing reached her thighs. It was tight in just the perfect places and her cleavage was on show. She knew she looked sexy as she paired it with her favourite black heels. Her lips were painted the perfect shade of red, with a little concealer under her eyes to cover the dark eyebags, and a swipe of mascara. She was done.

She looked hot and she couldn't wait to show it. She picked up her phone and her credit card and her ID. She placed all of them in her dress pocket. It was why she loved the dress. She didn't need to carry a clutch with her everywhere. She had her most important things in her pocket and nobody would know.

"Lover boy is waiting," Clare said as she popped into the room only dressed in a towel, her hair wet.

"I think I may have given him a peak," Clare bit her lip as she waited for Serena to react.

"Why would you do that?" Serena laughed a little as she sprayed perfume on herself.

"Because his voice is hot," Clare sighed dreamily.

"When you're done with him, can you bring him back home and then I'll take it from there," Clare asked, as she winked at Serena.

"I'll see," Serena replied, and quickly walked out of her room to see Noah sitting on the couch, awkwardly.

Noah heard the click of heels and turned around to see Serena standing behind him. He was speechless. When she said she could do sexy, she really meant it.

"....Wow," Noah breathed out as he quickly stood up.

Serena smiled as his blue eyes shone in the light and he ran a hand through his blonde hair.

Serena didn't like the blonde type of men. She preferred the tall, dark and handsome men out there in the world, but if a guy like Noah turned up at her doorstep, she wouldn't say no either.

"Let's go. We don't want to be late," Serena said to Noah and he nodded, and walked around the couch, standing in front of her.

She walked up to Noah and held his hand. He looked down at her confused a little, before he nodded.

"Couple. Right," He nodded and they walked hand in hand, out of the apartment, as Serena shouted her goodbyes to Clare.

**
An hour later and they were standing outside the club. Serena could hear the loud pounding music coming from inside and she noticed the small line in front of it. It was 11pm and the nightclub was in full swing after midnight. They were early.

"Smile, look as if you're in love, alright?" Serena said to Noah as they walked closer to the line.

He nodded and then stopped walking. Noah turned to look at Serena.

"Have we had sex?" He asked and Serena laughed as she pulled him to the line.

"Yes. Countless of times, and you love it," She winked at him as she pulled out her ID to show the bouncer at the front. He smirked at her and opened the door, letting her and Noah pass.

Holding onto Noah's hand tightly she walked inside, smiling at the scene in front of her. People were dancing on the dance floor, and others were drinking like there was no tomorrow. It was fun watching drunk people try to stand on their two feet. Serena knew she was like that too. She was a crazy drunk.

"There!" Noah shouted over the loud music and she followed his pointed finger to a few guys sat in a booth. They were watching girls dance on the dance floor, and drinking beer.

She saw one of them look at them, so she leaned up closer to Noah and winked at his shocked face.

Noah was too polite for his own good.

"Let's go then. Don't stand there like a lost fish, okay?" Serena told him and he nodded.

She stepped back and let him walk her around the dance floor to the 3 guys sitting in the booth.

"Sorry we're late. We got a little held up," Noah apologised as we sat down next to them. I was in between Noah and another hot guy.

"Guys, this is Serena, my girlfriend. Serena that's Carter,-" Noah pointed to the guy next to me. He winked at me and I smiled back, "That is Johnny-" he then pointed to a guy drinking his beer who nodded at me. The mysterious one. Noah pointed at the last guy sat in between Johnny and Carter, "And that's Daniel, Dan for short" Noah finished the introductions.

"Hey," Serena waved a little to everyone.

She was confused if she should play the sweet innocent girlfriend or be herself and be the badass hottest girl in the club. She had confidence oozing out of her and she knew it.

Looking at them all, she decided she would play the sweet shy girlfriend that was a kinky bitch in bed.

Serena wanted to laugh as Johnny stood up.

"First drinks are on me. It's nice to meet such a beautiful girl," Johnny winked at Serena who shied away, pretending to blush.

Noah wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.

That was a no go. She didn't do the kissing and fucking anymore.

She grinned up at him.

"How about we get out of here for minute?" Serena leaned up to Noah, her lips close to his but never touching.

Noah smirked. Serena could tell he was much more himself when he had people he knew around him.

"We'll be back quickly. I've got to help a lady out," Noah smirked at the guys as he stood up.

He held Serena's hand and pulled her out of the booth as wolf whistles started from the booth.

"Don't forget to use a condom!" one of them shouted but Serena ignored it as they walked away from them. The line to the toilets was long, but she pushed her way inside the disabled toilets ignoring everyone's protests.

She locked the door behind Noah and he looked at her confused.

"I think we did good," Noah started off and Serena rolled her eyes.

"You can't kiss me again, okay?" Serena told him, hoping he'd actually understand and not cause a big fuss.

"Why? Don't tell me you're like that woman in Pretty Woman. Are we just going to fuck and not kiss?" Noah asked, looking genuinely confused.

Serena groaned. Another person that didn't understand that she wasn't a prostitute. She had nothing against them, but she wasn't a prostitute. Yes, she sold her body and personality but she never had sex with any other person. So she wasn't a prostitute.

"Noah I'm-" Serena started to say just as someone pounded on the door.

"Chill the fuck out!" Serena said loudly, as the noise got louder and louder.

What the hell was happening?

"You have an ex that wants to kill me?" Noah joked with her as she opened the door.

In front of her stood a man. The same man that wore a black suit every day the past week and sat in a car outside the building she lived in.

They followed her here?

"Serena, I need you to come with me," The guy in front of her said in a deep Italian accented voice.

She should feel mad that someone was stalking her but she wanted to pull him in the toilets and make him whisper sweet nothings into her ear with that accent.

Get a grip.

"And you are? Where exactly am I supposed to follow you?" Serena asked him and he smirked at her, his eyes trailing her up and down.

She had an idea of where she would follow him. To the bed.

"I'm here on behalf of the person you met last week an-"

"Listen mate, this is my girlfriend and I don't appre-"

The hot stranger in front of Serena put his hand up, and stopped Noah mid sentence.

"I could hardly give a fuck, mate. Serena, we're going," The stranger turned to her and raised an eyebrow.

"No we're not." She replied back, standing her ground. She wasn't going to leave.

"Clare is waiting for you, Serena," The stranger told her in a calm voice.

"What's your name?" She asked him.

"Mika," he replied curtly.

"Mika, you can go shove your threats up your ass"

Serena was pissed. She was livid. She didn't wait a second longer in his presence as she walked out of the toilets and out of the door. She walked away from the long line and found the fire emergency exit door closer than the real exit door.

Without waiting for Noah, she walked out of the exit door and into the small car park.

She heard a noise behind her and she sighed.

"Noah I'm sorr-" she stopped mid sentence as she turned around to see Mika standing there.

What a perfect gentleman Noah was for sending out a complete stranger after her.

"Listen Serena. We can do this the hard way or th-"

"The easy way. Yeah I've heard that million times. What movie have you stepped out from? Listen, Mika, I don't want to do this any way. If this is because of Carlo, then I still won't apology for kicking him in the balls. He deserved it. You have to stop following me everywhere I go. I notice, and it's annoying and harassment. Do not make me get the police involved. I'll tell them how you're threatening Clare as well," Serena ranted out, feeling so frustrated she wanted to pull her own hair out. She loved her hair.

Mika just grinned at her.

"You should have heard him the next day. Luca didn't want to even pick up the call and I had to hear everything," Mika said, shaking his head a little.

Serena was curious.

"What did he say?" She asked and Mika chuckled.

"He cursed a lot. He vowed to kill you, which is a lie, don't worry-" he quickly said, noticing her eyes widened, "He also said to bring you back tomorrow. It was supposed to be today but that got cancelled," Mika explained the rest.

"Why does he want me there? If I go, will all of the stalking stop?" She asked, hoping the answer would be yes.

This night was going to go down in her 'worst night ever' book.

"Yes. It's just 30 minutes. You can even kick him in the balls again, just know he'll probably be ready for it," Mika laughed as Serena smiled.

"Let's go meet the asshole and then I'll be done with him." Serena sighed.
