Love Doesn't Have a Price - Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight: Clubbing’s Fun for Everyone

Sakura looked over her appearance one more time in the mirror. After spending the past twenty minutes arguing with Mei Ling and her two friends; Rae and Sarah, over the clothes she would be wearing. Arguing and losing.

So here she stood wearing the dark blue jeans with silver glittery drawing up the bottom of the sides. On the top she wore a white sleeveless cut off top that was transparent except for a strip across the chest.

Sighing slightly she decided that while it may be a more revealing outfit than she would have liked to wear normally but being a model meant that you were used to wearing next to nothing.

The more immediate problem was whether or not she would be able to sit in the damn jeans. Rae was the same size as her but had a preference for clothes that were tight, or in this case unmovable.

“Alright we’re coming in now whether you’re ready or not!” Sarah demanded.

“Yeah, yeah, come in then.”

The three girls entered the room throwing catcalls and whistles at her as they did.

Mei Ling circled her like a predator, trading an evil grin with Sarah before she finally said. “Hmm.”

“Hmm?” Sakura queried, noticing that Mei Ling was wearing the red top she’d admired so much before, along with the leather pants. Sarah wore an ice blue tank and very short wrap around black leather skirt with knee-high leather boots and Rae wore a black cut off tank and black leather hot pants.

Standing there Sakura was happy at least that she wasn’t the only one who was barely covered.

“You look hot.” Mei Ling finally answered, grinning.

Rae smiled at her, “The kiddies are going to be drooling.”

Sakura sent a nervous grin back. Rae was the one who spoke the least out of the group but the Spanish looking girl with long black hair flowing loose over her shoulders was probably the one she felt the most comfortable with.

A banging on the door alerted them to Syaoran’s growing annoyance with them. “Aren’t you ready yet?”

“’Ey, perfection takes time Syaoran!” Mei Ling responded, slightly annoyed.

“Yeah well perfection better get her ass out here before I leave without her.”

Sakura grinned at that statement and the annoyed scowl that came across Mei Ling’s face when he said it.

“Yeah keep your knickers on we’re coming.” Mei Ling growled back, throwing the door open to face him.

He observed their group with mixed emotions before saying, “Don’t you think you should be wearing something more than underwear?”

Sakura wasn’t surprised when Mei Ling hit him annoyed.

Following them out her eyes landed on Syaoran appreciatively. He only wore baggy black jeans and a white polo but damn he looked good in it. Grabbing their jackets, or in Sakura’s case the jacket Mei Ling and the others had seen fit for her to wear, they exited the house.

“Ok, Sarah, Rae you’re with me.” Mei Ling said walking towards the black Mercedes. “Sakura you’re with Syaoran ok?”

Sakura nodded, looking at the scowling man beside her. “Come on, we’re taking the convertible.” He said sighing and walking towards the silver BMW.

“We’ll meet you there.” Mei Ling called from the window, driving out.

Sakura nodded, getting into the car opposite Syaoran.

He sat there looking at her with an eyebrow raised. “Nice outfit.”

She blushed. “Uh…yeah I guess.”

He pulled out and moved off increasing his speed as he moved.

“Umm…don’t you think we’re going a little too fast?” Sakura queried watching the ever increasing speed meter.

A smirk crossed his face, “What, scared?”

Scowling Sakura looked out the window, forcing herself not to start praying as the speed kept moving up and they narrowly dodged other cars on the road.

They pulled up outside a club which had a line as far as three blocks back.

“Come on then.” Syaoran called, stepping out of the car.

She sighed, tucking a strand of hair that had escaped the high ponytail Sarah had put it in, behind her ear, following him hesitantly straight to the entrance.

“Yo, Syaoran man, what’s up?” the burly club bouncer asked grinning and doing some sort of handshake with him.

“Not much Blain, not much.” He replied easily walking past the cue of people waiting.

“Syaoran!” Sakura called as he disappeared inside the club.

The bouncer sent her an almost sympathetic glance. “Sorry lady but you’re gonna have to wait in the line like everyone else.”

“But Syaoran-?” Sakura said almost helplessly.

He shrugged, “If he didn’t remember you as he was going in then he’s obviously over you.”

She sent him a stunned look. “But I’m not-“

“Look get over him already.” He answered annoyed, “God, his whores are all the same!”

She looked at him incrediously.

“Blain now that’s not very nice to say to such a lovely lady.” A smooth silky voice commented from behind her. An arm coming to wrap around her waist.

Sakura looked up to find a handsome black haired man glancing down at her, he winked grinning at her as she blushed and tried to remove his arm.

“Damn Jace why are you goin after Syaoran’s cast offs again?” Blain queried opening the way for him.

The man called Jace merely sent him a cocky grin before pushing Sakura in with him through the doors. “She’s not a cast off Blain, haven’t you heard that the main model of the Daidouji empire is staying with Syaoran to work through negotiations currently?”

Sakura sent him a sceptical glance, “How did you find that out?”

He grinned, “Friends in high places, you know.”

Sakura resisted the urge to blush at this darkly handsome man, knowing that were circumstances different she’d be falling for this guy. However all she felt at the moment was frustration at not being able to get a straight answer.

“Well thanks for your help.” She muttered trying to disengage herself from his arm.

“Aww, you’re not leaving me already are you.” He questioned laughing and tightening his grip.

Behind him his friends laughed at their antics.

She was practically squirming when he leant in and kissed her softly on the lips.

She was sick of getting kisses stolen from her.

“Come on, come dance with me.” He said pulling her onto the floor not even flinching as she stomped on his feet.

“There you are! Where’ve you been Sakura?” Rae called coming up, “I was sent to find you.”

Rae reached them taking her hand and sending a scowl to Jace.

“Hello Rae.” Jace said grinning brightly at her.

Sakura looked at him amazed. Despite the death glare Rae was sending him, he remained his cheerful, infuriating self. It seemed nothing could dent his spirits.

“Come on then.” Rae muttered too him, sending a grin to Sakura to assure her that she wasn’t in the wrong as she dragged her up some stairs into the VIP section.

“I found Jason as well.” She called entering.

Sakura followed after her, feeling Jace breath into her ear. “Maybe later.” Before continuing on to greet Syaoran.

Sitting with Mei Ling, Sarah and Rae she sent death glares in Syaoran’s direction. Thoroughly pissed off after his little departure while she was outside.

I I I

Syaoran rolled his eyes at the childish antics Sakura was displaying, leaning back into the seat comfortably.

“Why did you leave her outside Syaoran?” Jason asked smiling smugly.

Grunting Syaoran looked at him, “You’re as bad as Eriol.” He muttered. “Because I figured she would get in easily enough.”

“Sure you did.”

“We’re not having this conversation Jace, why don’t you tell me why it was that you came back without letting me know.”

“Because I’m being watched currently. Mei Ling’s a girl so it didn’t seem all that suspicious to call her.”

Syaoran scowled, “What have you done now?”

“I’ll let you know later.” Jason muttered looking across at the four girls. “They seem to be getting bored.”

“Mei Ling, out!” Syaoran called simply indicating as well as saying that she should leave.

Glowering at him she exited, taking the three other girls with her.

“You’re no fun anyway.” She replied annoyed.

“Aww, I’m hurt.” Jason replied putting a hand to his heart.

“Hurt in the head.” Mei Ling muttered venomously as she exited causing him to laugh.

“Alright so here’s what’s up.”

I I I

Sakura followed the others onto the dance floor, her hips already starting to sway as she picked up the rhythm of the dance.

“Come on babe, come dance with me.” Mei Ling called pulling Sarah with her into the centre of the crowd, doing moves that Sakura could only term as dirty dancing.

Rae grinned at her, “Come on Saku, come dance with me.” She grabbed her hand pulling her onto the floor.

Sakura stood stiffly as Rae began dancing with her, unsure of what to do. “Loosen up honey, we’re being watched.” Rae commented, laughing as she pointed out the two hot guys who seemed to think they had a chance with them.

“Come on, go with it.” Rae prodded, “Let’s give ‘em a show.”

Sakura copied her moves, bumping and grinding along with her grinning as the men tried to come up and join them.

“Sorry man, this dance is mine.” A slightly familiar silky voice commented, pulling Sakura out from his clutches and planting her in front of him.

Sakura sighed as the next song came on, rolling her eyes. “You’re so funny Jace.”

Hey Timbo

Yeah

Dont you hate it when a dude starts actin up

Like this fella over here with his hands on the scuff

Be muggin and carryin on

Sakura got into place as the sexy began playing, placing her hands around his neck as his arms circled her waist. Gently swaying with the rhythm.

Hey JT

Yeah

Why these dudes keep starin at us

I dunno but Ima bout to find out wassup

Be easy dont take it to rough

Talk to 'em

His eyes looked at her warmly as he smirked. Avoiding his eyes as much as possible she glanced around at the others, Rae seemed to be dancing flagrantly with some guy she’d just met and Mei Ling and Sarah each had a guy to their own, the only person she couldn’t find was Syaoran.

Im not being cocky

I just noticed that she was looking at me

Chill homeboy be cool

Cause there aint no reason for all that fussin at me

Its just gettin started

And theres a lot of fish around

here just shakin they jelly

I ain't tryin to be rude dude but we tryin to tear up the place come on

“He’s gone out for a second.” Jason replied seeing her answering gaze. “He’ll be back soon.”

She nodded trying to loosen his grip on her only to find that he tightened it.

“Damn you really need to loosen up.” Jason said sighing, “You’re not going to impress Syaoran by playing the part of the innocent little virgin. Grind those hips a bit more.”

There aint nothing to it

If you wanna get down then we can do it-do it

There aint nothing to it

Get out your seat

Why

You aint glued to it

Be easy and watch that--tone

Keep stepping with your new suede shoes--on

Boys and girls lets all sing along

Now everybody just get on the good foot

Sakura sent him a surprised look, wondering what he was talking about and at the same time worried that it was what she thought it was.

“I’m not trying to impress Syaoran.” She responded annoyed.

He sent her a sceptical glance. “Sure you aren’t.”

Get on the good foot

Now, how am I supposed to know that she's yours

She aint got no ring on her finger

It aint our fault homeboy that your girl likes to wonder and linger

Your actin so serious

We just danced I aint even ask for her number

Dont be mad cause we the life of the party we aint tryin to hurt nobody talk to 'em

“Here’s your chance to impress him.” Jason responded, watching someone approaching from behind her.

“What are you doing Jason?” another silky voice commented from behind her, however this one was edged with anger.

“Just dancing, but now that you’re here I can let you relieve me from dancing with the little girl so that I can go and see what your cousin’s doing.”

Grunting Syaoran moved forward, folding his arm’s around Sakura’s waist from behind as Jason let go. “Go on then.”

Im not being cocky

I just noticed that she was looking at me

Chill homeboy be cool

Cause there aint no reason for all that fussin at me

Its just gettin started

And theres a lot of fish around

here just shakin they jelly

I aint tryin to be rude dude but we tryin to tear up the place Come on

Sakura looked at Rae helplessly who simply gave her the thumbs up sign before dancing with the fourth person yet. Sighing Sakura tried to turn around to face Syaoran only to find that his grip tightened around her waist.

“Lean back and relax.” He breathed into her ear. The contact sending shivers down her spine.

She nodded, wondering how she was possible supposed to relax against the hard chest behind her.

There aint nothing to it

If you wanna get down then we can do it-do it

There aint nothing to it

Get out your seat

Why

You aint glued to it

Be easy and watch that--tone

Keep stepping with your new suede shoes--on

Boys and girls lets all sing along

Now everybody just get on the good foot

Get on the good foot

“Good, now start swaying, just like you would normally dancing.”

She nodded, leaning away from him to do as he said.

Chuckling he pulled her back, “Now now, stop trying to run away, lean back against me and sway, keep the contact though.”

If you keep on pressin at me

(That dont bother me none)

Cause I see every fish in the sea

(Ima get the baddest one)

You take yourself so seriously

(But you dont impress me none)

Dont be alarmed boy..we came to do no harm boy

Talk to 'em

She started to get the rhythm of it, although keeping a bit of distant between her body and his the whole time, ignoring the effort it took the muscles instead of simply relaxing against him.

“Come on Sakura, lean back, get comfortable.”

Im not being cocky

I just noticed that she was looking at me

Chill homeboy be cool

Cause there aint no reason for all that fussin at me

Its just gettin started

And theres a lot of fish around

here just shakin they jelly

I aint tryin to be rude dude but we tryin to tear up the place Come on

Sighing she finally gave in, letting herself bump and grind against him however the music took them, flinching slightly when his hands travelling down to her thighs.

“Good girl, lean back a bit more, let me take your weight.”

She let herself relax into him further as the song continued, breathing in his unique sent mingled with some kind of cologne. If it were possibly she would have thought that she was getting drunk on the scent as a strange lightheadedness came over her.

There aint nothing to it

If you wanna get down then we can do it-do it

There aint nothing to it

Get out your seat

Why

You aint glued to it

Be easy and watch that--tone

Keep stepping with your new suede shoes--on

Boys and girls lets all sing along

Now everybody just get on the good foot

She jumped when something hot and wet touched the back of her neck. Sliding across it. Jumping away from him Sakura turned to see Syaoran’s smug grin before he walked off.

Get on the good foot

Sakura watched as he walked off slightly confused and embarrassed. “He’s really starting to piss me off.” She muttered before returning to the others.

I I I

“Have fun?” Jason queried as Syaoran re-entered the VIP lounge.

“Lots.” Syaoran replied smugly.

Jason sighed, “If you like the girl so much Syaoran why don’t you just take her?”

Flopping gracefully into the chair Syaoran replied, “Because it amuses me to play the cat and mouse game with her.”

“How’s your deadline going?”

Syaoran scowled, “What does everyone know about that damn deadline now?”

“You could always consider the little model, after all it’s unlikely that she’d say no and you are attracted to her.”

Syaoran was annoyed that Jason had once again managed to find the one issue he had been skirting around for the past two weeks.

“You have 2 and a bit more months, if you can’t find someone suitable by the end of the second I suggest you consider your options.”

“I’ll figure it out on my own Jace.” Syaoran responded annoyed.

“I know.”
