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

Sure he intended that to be an alcoholic beverage option, but he was fine with getting her something non-alcoholic.  Still he wondered if maybe he offended her? No, with an adorable smile like that he doubted it.

[color=Crimson]"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 outside 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]

He could definitely take that offer from her, but what really caught his attention was the 'certain somebody' bit.  He felt his face heating up thinking of Nori as a certain somebody, a somebody special or whatever.  He couldn't help but scratch his head sheepishly before he felt her take his wrist and pull him towards the front of the line, the line again jeering at the couple making their way ahead of everybody.  He almost wanted to give the bird to the one guy who was in front of him in the line, but he thought better.  Just before they reached the bouncer she stopped and started swiping through her phone.

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

He nodded and took the phone from her, entering his contact info.  He entered his personal cell phone number, but he also took the time to put in his work number as well. [color=LimeGreen]"I gave you my cell number, but you might not be able to reach it for a few days, I actually lost it before coming to the club, I got into a bit of an accident on the way here"[/color] he briefly recollected about how he had run into that guy earlier, his phone probably having dropped when Kyle hit the ground, [color=LimeGreen]"I tossed in my work number though, I work at the glasses shop, 'An Eye For Fashion' most weekdays until about 6:00 or 7:00, so you can always reach me there if you need me after work.  If you don't mind though, I'm gonna insist sticking by you, I've got time until I meet my friend and if I'm going to be doing the odd job or two for you, I'd like to know my 'employer' a little better."[/color]

She agreed and handed her phone to the bouncer who swiped them into the club and granted them passage indoors.  Finally being able to enter the club area, Kyle could immediately hear the sound of the base in the coat check area, [i]"Nori must be on right now."[/i] He handed off his jacket to the coat check girl, opting to store his glasses safely inside one of his bigger jacket pockets before handing it off to her.  The two of them then entered the club floor, the sound of the music pounding against Kyles ears, the base a deafening thump, the music was loud now, but he'd eventually get used to it.  Looking up towards the stage area, he saw her there, Nori and she looked... she looked... [i]"Holy crap I'm gonna have a nosebleed...[/i] Even from across the room Kyle could see the little clothing Nori was wearing, her midriff exposed to the elements, he could only wonder what she was wearing for pants... [i]"Focus Parker!"[/i]

Kyle turned to face towards Sabine, [color=LimeGreen]"It's my first time here,"[/color] he raised his own volume to try and outmatch the noise in the club, [color=LimeGreen]"I don't suppose you know any good spots here?"[/color] He figured if she had some fancy VIP passes she had to have been at the club before.
