Raymond walked through the club directly towards the strange woman he saw leaning against the bar. He thought she was strange because she looked like she didn't fit in with the other patrons of the place. Sure her head was bald and she had enough earrings to drive any metal detector crazy and her clothing was perfect for the place but it was her skin that he couldn't quite figure out. To call her skin color dark would have been an understatement but she certainly wasn't black it just had this weird quality in it's tone that he couldn't quite put his finger on. He had to meet her and find out more, he was definitely getting some tonight.
"So what are you drinking?" he asked sliding in neatly next to her.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" she answered without looking at him. Turning away with her back to face him she stalked away from the bar leaving the bartender confused with a drink in his hand. Raymond paid for it, took it and chased her down to a table on the far side of the dance floor. She sat down alone and lit a cigarette.
"You won't get rid of me that easily." He said smiling and placing the drink in front of her.
"Really? Guess I'll have to kill you then." She said humorlessly before blowing a cloud of smoke into the air. "Don't you have some hooker to harass?"
"Nah hookers cost too much and they aren't nearly as great a conversationalist as they pretend to be." Raymond took a chair right next to her and sat as closely as he could. She still didn't look at him.
"Why do I doubt that you're sitting here because you want a good conversation?"
"Because you take for some horny playboy who only wants sex."
"Why would I think that?" she asked scanning the floor for someone.
"How about I start asking the questions, what's your name?" he said looking around for whomever she was searching for.
"I don't feel like telling you. Why don't you do something to prove to me that you aren't just trying to get into my pants?"
"Like what?" Raymond asked. The woman took a drag of her cigarette and turned to face him for the first time slowly blowing the smoke in his face. When the cloud finally cleared she was looking him straight in the eye.
Raymond's blood ran cold and he quickly wished he had found someone else to talk to. This girl's eyes were piercing and looked into his as if she was staring right into his soul, not only that but her irises were white and her pupils were nothing more than black slits that ran vertically across her eye.
"What's the matter? Mister suave and smooth suddenly doesn't have anything to say?" she asked after a long pause. He hadn't realized he was staring at her.
"I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore." He got up to leave and she stopped him.
"Wow, did I just sense some manners? There might be hope for you after all, sit." She took a sip of her drink as he sat back down.
"I'm sorry but I just couldn't help but notice...how beautiful you are." He started over.
"You're a shitty liar." She took another drag of the cigarette and studied him closely before slowly allowing the smoke to escape her lips of it's own accord. "You saw my, let's just call them 'irregularities' and just had to come over and learn more about me am I right?"
"You got me there and I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage." He confessed.
She smiled for the first time since meeting him. "Good."
