[color=LimeGreen]"An offer for two strangers to take advantage of huh? Alright, I'll accompany you inside.  Since they're mentioning its for safety reasons, if its alright with you, I'll stick by your side for a while.  I'll be honest though, I am planning on meeting with someone so it won't be for the whole night, but I'd feel bad for just abandoning the person who just got me a ticket inside. Plus I'm sure you'll want my contact info if you're going to be asking me for favors.  Also how about I buy you a drink and we can cross one of those favors off?"[/color]

[color=9e0039]"Um...I don't drink, at least, not anymore,"[/color] she replied with an impish smile.  [color=9e0039]"I mean, I'm not an alcoholic or anything, but it's just a personal thing I have with sobriety...and stuff."[/color]

But it was true; it had only been a couple of months since she last had anything with alcohol in it, but she was feeling more awake than ever.

Still...she should've known that he was already taken.  It wasn't too surprising, considering his looks, and she couldn't take anything personally from a guy she just met, even if she wanted to.  No harm, no foul.

[color=9e0039]"Tell you what, though.  I'll cross off the time-telling favor as soon as you hand me your contact info, alright?  I might need your help [i]outside[/i] the club limits sooner or later, since my work involves heavy lifting on occasion.

That, and if it's a certain somebody in the club, I don't want to be the reason why you're inside later than sooner.  I think it'll be safer once people have a chance to unwind inside."[/color]

Without even bothering to pause, she took the taller man by his wrist and wove her way out of the line, before walking on ahead to the front of the line.  Right before the two could talk to the bouncer, she released her grip, and swiped through her phone a bit more.

[color=9e0039]"I'll have that number, and I'll slash one off, alright?"[/color]
