As I sit in Cordelias bedroom all I can think about is last night. The way Knuckles asked me first, the way he let me take the lead and never tried to do anything that could upset me. I think I love him. That sounds insane even in my head but I've never known a guy care for me and think about how I feel like this. I felt safe with him, I was nervous to be in bed with him, just because of the flashbacks I often have, but as I focused on Knuckles I felt safe in that bed with him. It took me a while to fall asleep but god it felt good to be held by him.

"You haven't heard anything I said huh? Daydreaming of Knuckles?" Cordelia smirks as I look up at her

"Sorry, just tired, what did you say?" I reply looking at the dresses she's holding up

"I said I think either of these would look good on you, if not you're welcome to raid my closet for something else." She says holding out two dresses, one is short and red, strapless with satin material cascading down and the other is short black with a lace collar and lace overlay

"The black one." I reply as I stand up and take it from her. Apparently I didn't need to go home to get ready, Cordelia insisted I could borrow her clothes. She seems so nice and like a mother hen she just takes care of everyone.

"I better bring my kit tonight to treat Knuckles wounds when he keeps tripping over his tongue after seeing you in that dress." Cordelia laughs as I smooth it down

"It looks better on you than me, you look great Scar." Cordelia smiles as she starts pulling out shoes. I feel like I'm getting ready for a date, not that I've ever dated, but I'm nervous and I want to look good for Knuckles, this is bad. I can't stay with Knuckles no matter how I feel about him I'll only end up getting him hurt or even killed by Alec.

"Knuckles cares about you, I can tell, you're safe with him, he's a good guy." Cordelia says as I slip into the heels she picked out

"I know, I feel safe with him, I just don't think it's safe for him to be around me." I reply

"I never felt safer than when I became a part of this club, even if it put me on the radar of their enemies. This club is a family and you're becoming a part of that, I think you'll be a great part of it too." She smiles as we finish getting ready. Great, part of the family, a family that Alec will happily rip apart to get to me. I sigh and shake myself from these thoughts, I want to enjoy tonight, because I don't know how much longer I can sit here waiting for it all to fall apart, I need to go, if I'm gone I'll miss Knuckles but I'll know he's safe.

"Ready?" Cordelia smiles as we head out of her bedroom and downstairs. Cordelia opens the front door and there stands Knuckles smoking a cigarette

"You look beautiful." He says as he wraps his arms around my waist

"I can't wait to get you out of this dress later." He whispers in my ear and I can't stop the shiver that travels down my body at the thought.

"We ready?" Cordelia asks as three trucks pull up in front of her house

"Yeah, you and Killer and me and Scar are in this one. Ice, BFG, Sarah and Doc are in that one and Circuit, Socket and Needles are in the other. Bullet is staying here with Indigo while she babysits Diesel." Knuckles explains as we head over to the trucks and he helps me climb up in my short dress and heels.

"This is gonna be fun." Cordelia smiles as she leans forward and places her hand on Killers shoulder who sits in the passenger seat. I've seen the guy driving before but I don't know his name

"Shit, I forgot my gun, Ace pull over a sec." Cordelia says, so the driver is called Ace.

"I got us covered." Killer says as he hands Knuckles a bag. Knuckles opens it to reveal several weapons and hands Cordelia a gun, which she slips into her purse. He then places a gun in his waistband before finally handing a small handgun to me.

"Just in case, the whole club is packing, so you're safe with us." He says as he wraps his arm around my shoulder and I conceal the gun under my dress. He pulls me against him and kisses my forehead as we continue to drive out of the town. I spent the rest of the ride against Knuckles side with his arm around me and I never felt so comfortable.

We arrive at the club and everyone piles out of the trucks and heads for the door. Bypassing the queue along the front of the club Killer walks up to the man on the door, shakes his hand and they exchange a few words before the man lifts the rope and we all walk inside.

As we enter the dark club rock music vibrates the floor below my feet as it blares from the speakers through out the room, multicoloured lights swirl around the room and lasers dance with them. Knuckles keeps his arm around my shoulder as we head to the bar and Cordelia hands me a shot of something, I smell the tequila as I bring the glass to my lips and can't help my face creasing as the liquid burns my throat.

After a few shots Cordelia pulled me and Sarah to the dance floor and I had so much fun dancing and laughing with them, even though Killer, BFG and Knuckles hovered over us like the jealous guys they are, but I did have some fun teasing Knuckles and grinding against him as I danced. Now I'm sitting in Knuckles lap surrounded by the guys as I rest my feet, which are beginning to hurt already in these huge heals of Cordelias. Knuckles is getting his revenge for me teasing him on the dance floor as I'm finding it hard to hold a conversation with his breath on my neck and his hands stroking my thighs. I laugh as Ice and Circuit argue over who is going to try to talk to a pretty brunette at the edge of the dance floor dancing by herself

"Oh please, no one can resist my charms, I can get any girl like that." Ice snaps his fingers to emphasise his point

"Oh please, I would be making out with her before you could get her to say hello." Did I just say that out loud? Oh god, I feel the blush hitting my cheeks, Knuckles knows I find girls attractive too, but not everyone else. All eyes turn to me and I look back at Knuckles as he laughs at what I said

"It's true Ice, I've seen her work, she can get pussy a hell of a lot better than you." Knuckles replies and I don't know whether to laugh or slap him, but I suppose I put it out there first

"Prove it." Ice smirks and I look to Knuckles who only motions towards the poor girl we've all been objectifying. Well, if that's how he wants to play it, it's not like we're in a relationship, we're just having sex.

"$100 I can get her to kiss me in less than 60 seconds." I smirk at Ice as I stand from Knuckles lap and straighten my dress

"You're on." Ice says, his face lit up like a kid at Christmas as he slams $100 bill on the table. I give Knuckles one final glance and shrug before I make my way over to the lady in question.
