The Billionaire's Chance

Landry's Pov

'why exactly am I here?' I keep asking myself this in hopes that I would one day get a reasonable answer. If you ask me, I can't remember when I became this obsessed with clubbing, I was always such a reserved guy but the thought of going home alone, sober really destroys my already terrible mood. The line between who I was and this new person that I can hardly recognize is now blurred, I really do not know which I even prefer but I sure as hell do not want to keep being reminded of what I'd lost.

Looking around the club, 'Liquid Courage' , funny name, I remember when I was judgemental towards people who spent their weekends clubbing but look at me now, I just don't spend only my weekends here but weekdays too, life truly has a great sense of humour.

While I'm still wallowing in my self pity, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, wondering who'll be calling me on a Thursday night, I answer the call without checking who's calling, from the way my hands keep shaking, I'm sure that I'm very tipsy.

"Hello" I can't even recognize my own voice, it sounds too husky to be mine. I'm met with silence on the other line, as I go to return the phone to my pocket, the voice finally speaks up.

"Please tell me you're not at a club right now" I recognise the voice as belonging to my best friend, Xavi Brooks, it's truly a wonder that we are still friends. I thought he would've gotten tired of my excesses and abandon me by now.

"Landry? Are you still there?"

Realising I've not given an answer yet," Yes, I'm still here and I'm definitely not at a club. As a matter of fact, I'm in my house, inside a hot tub" I say, smiling at my own joke.

"Landry, you're not five anymore" he pauses " tell me where you are so i can come get you "

Huffing, I decide to use his own words against him " I'm not five, I don't need you to come get me" i hang up and pocket my phone. I stagger towards the restroom because I really need to relieve myself, all of a sudden I'm on the floor and that's when I discover that I bumped into someone, I look up and see a pair of brown eyes staring back at me, I try to stand up but realize that I don't have any control of my body, I can feel hands on me and my eyes closing. My biggest regret tonight would definitely be not making it to be restroom, I just hope that I don't urinate on myself, with that thought in mind, everything goes black.

I try to open my eyes but everything hurts, my head feels like someone's sitting on it eliciting a groan from me, I open my eyes and I'm met with a ceiling that basically made of mirrors, I panic upon seeing that I'm in no clothes apart from my briefs, I sit up and look around, I'm in a room with mostly white furniture. "Where the hell am I" I stand up and immediately fall down.

"You shouldn't get up so quickly big man, you're probably nursing a terrible hangover" startled by the voice, I turn around towards the door and i set my gaze upon a woman that could pass for a goddess, she has jet black hair with a slender figure, she has the brownest skin I've ever seen. She starts walking towards me and I quickly grab the duvet to cover my indecency, " I've seen everything there is to see, if you were so bothered about another person seeing your nakedness then you probably shouldn't have passed out on the floor of my club and puked on yourself ", my embarrassment definitely made her happy because she started laughing, contrary to the embarrassment I felt, her laughter makes me smile. She hands me a cup of water "When you're done covering up yourself, come downstairs for breakfast" she turns and leaves, shutting the door behind her.

'What did I just get myself into'.

Upon putting on a pair of joggers and a tank top that I found on the side of the bed, I head downstairs, I take time to admire the interior decor of the house, it has a minimalist touch to it and I'm impressed however the excessive use of the colour white throws me off. I'm greeted with the smell of pancakes and bacon, I find the mysterious woman standing in the open plan kitchen and walk to the other side of the kitchen counter and sit.

"Where are my clothes" I ask her, feeling a bit overwhelmed with the whole situation.

She turns around and gives me a once over " well, good morning to you too, your clothes are at the dry cleaners, you vomited on yourself and I had to undress and clean you up" she faces whatever she's cooking thereby backing me "I thought I'd be receiving gratitude and not an interrogation"

The information she gives me finally dawns on me, if I vomited on myself and she undressed me, surely the right thing to do would be to remove all my clothes including my underwear, I stare at the joggers still wondering if the briefs I was putting on was mine because I sure as hell did not get the stench of puke.

She breaks me out of my thoughts "And yes, I also removed your underwear, don't tell me you didn't notice that the underwear you're putting on isn't yours" My eyes almost bulge out of my sockets and I have the greatest urge to run away and hide.

Clearing my throat "Who.. undressed me?" I stutter, slowly hoping she would say she had a brother or male friend who undressed me.

This time, she drops all she's holding and walks towards and looks into my eyes " I live alone, so it was obviously me" I stare at her shocked and speechless "Why else would I be calling you big man" she says this and trails her eyes through my lower abdomen. I stand and move away after getting her insinuation. ' I really shouldn't have drank last night'.

I should have known that Linda's Night out would include clubbing, don't get me wrong, I do love clubbing but I hoped to get some rest tonight but Linda, my agent had other plans.

Walking into the club, it's really packed which isn't totally surprising cause this is a Friday night. I quickly head towards the bar dragging Linda with me, we call the attention of the bartender and order shots. This is my first time at this club, it's quite out of town, coming here from home would probably take 4 hours and I'm not in the business of leaving my comfort zone for fun when I could easily access fun in my comfort zone. I quickly scan the club, looking for a potential fling, Linda who has already spotted hers leaves me to go to the dancefloor with him.

I throw back a shot and walk towards the dancefloor to get a groove on, the music is really electrifying and the vibe is really magnificent, now I understand why Linda drove all the way here, I definitely would be coming back here.

I start to sway my body according to the beat of the song, I've always enjoyed dancing but my ex, Ross ken, that's if I can even call him my ex, didn't really enjoy watching me dance and that made me loose touch with one of my favourite hobbies but since moving here, I've been able to reignite that spark. The thought of Ross still leaves a major ache in my heart, it's so sad that what we had was never defined because he believed labels were a waste of time and I went along with it because I loved and trusted him till I caught him in a threesome with my male best friend and his girlfriend on my bed, in my own room. That incident really did a number on me, I had to quickly leave so as to heal. I mean, I really had nothing going for me there, my parents were dead and I'm the only child so I've basically been on my own for a while.

I keep dancing while subtlely looking for a good looking guy that'll satisfy me tonight, my eyes land on a pair of blue eyes that's staring back at me, from what I can see, the owner of those eyes has to be the definition of stunning, he's drop dead gorgeous and from the way he leans on the bar and the smirk playing on his lips, I'm sure he's fully aware of the effect he has on me. I watch him walk towards me with a confident stride and at that moment, I realise that I've found the one that'll take me home tonight.

Finally arriving at the club that I heard Xavi rave about, I can proudly say that I fully understand the appeal. The whole ambience of the club has a feel to it that lets you know that this is the best place to unwind after a stressful week.

After I had called Xavi this morning asking him about any clubs around, of course he asked why I didn't want to go to my usual club 'Liquid courage', I had to tell him that i needed a change of scenery, cause there was no way in hell that I was going to tell him that I slept with the owner of the club after she had taken care of me after I passed out, how could I possibly tell him that I ghosted her after that night and I've been avoiding her club like a plague. I can't seem to explain why I ghosted her, I just know that I found her very interesting and after sleeping with her, I didn't quite feel the spark anymore, how do I explain that the morning after we had fucked made me feel only a sense of self loathing. I guess I'm really living up to my playboy reputation. Anyway, after the incident I couldn't possibly go back to her club, I had to find a new one and i have to admit that this club exceeds all my expectations and I'll definitely make this my permanent spot, I don't even care about the distance from this club to my house. Another thing I find captivating about this club is it's name 'Ecstasy', something about the name sits well with me.

I head towards the bar and sit on the bar stool, I order a glass of gin and tonic, I have no intentions of getting flat out drunk, I only need a bit of alcohol in my system so I can find someone for tonight. As I nurse my drink, I scan the dance floor until my eyes automatically find a woman dancing alone on the dance floor, something about her draws me in, it's probably the way her short dress which stops at her mid thigh hugs her body or the way she doesn't notice that she has stolen the attention of almost every person in this club and is just lost in the music or the way her blond hair which stops at her shoulders moves with the rhythm of her body, I can't seem to pinpoint the reason I can't stop staring at her and why I want to pluck out the eyes of the men that Keep giving her lustful stares, all I know is that I really want to get to know who she is and why her dance which seems erotic at first glance has a hint of sadness in it. Thinking she couldn't be more beautiful than she is at the moment, she opens her eyes and locks eyes with me, my breath hitches in my throat as I stare at beautiful hazel eyes. She maintains eye contact with me and at that point, I make up my mind to talk to her, I walk towards her, I see nobody but her and from the lustful expression on her face, I'm sure I've got her at the palm of my hands and I have the insatiable urge to always make sure that her attention is always on me.

"Hi" I say to the lady that's made me feel something that I've not felt for a long time, I'm hoping we can have a meaningful conversation, Sleeping with her isn't just the only thing i want to do tonight, I really want to get to know her and it's an odd feeling, one I've tried not to feel for sometime.

"Want to get out of here?' her question throws me off balance because I was hoping to get her name and take charge of the situation but seems like she's the type to take the lead.

"Uh...yeah sure, please lead the way" I say gesturing towards the exit. She goes towards a lady grinding on another guy and whispers something in her ear that makes her look up at me. We finally make it out of the club and we walk towards a cafe by the other side of the street, she looks momentarily shocked that we are there and at that point I really want to know want to know what's going on in her head. We walk towards an empty table that's thankfully at the far end of the cafe, I'll really love the privacy.

"When I asked if you wanted to get out of the club, I didn't have cafe in mind"

"What did you have in mind?" I ask stunned at her statement

She looks around and i take time to get a good look at her face, this woman has to be the prettiest woman I've ever met.

"Well definitely not this" she says staring at me. 'God, I love her eyes' I'm sure I'll be thinking of her eyes for a long time.

"I am Landry" I say going for a handshake, she stares at me for a while and shakes my outstretched hand.

"I'm Maggie"

"what can I get you?" she stares at me like I just grew horns.

"When are we leaving here" she asks crossing her arms which props her breasts up and I have to tear my eyes away from them.

"What do you mean? We just got here"

She uncrosses her arms and leans on the table with her elbow "Look, I think we should just get it over with, I'm not really in the mood to pretend like I'm interested in getting to know you" I stare at her speechless. She rolls her eyes at the expression on my face and stands to leave.

I grab her arm and she stares at me imploring me to say something "I am sorry, i misunderstood the whole situation, i thought... You know what, never mind, let's go to my penthouse ".

I hold her hand so we can start going and she stops in her tracks "How long will it take to get to your penthouse?"

"4 hours or so" she stares into space like she's thinking

"let's just book a Hotel room, by the time we make the journey, I'll probably be too tired"

Remembering that I spotted a hotel on my way to the club "Sure, i saw one on the way"

I walk her towards my Black Bentley parked at the side of the road, I hold the door open for her and she smirks at the gesture. "Such a gentleman" she teases as she enters the car. Pulling the car onto the road, she connects to the aux and starts blasting arctic monkeys, I smile at the song choice. Pulling up to the hotel, we get out and book a room, I check her face for any uncertainty but each time I look at her, I see her gazing at me with a sultry look, this woman is quite different. She's unlike any of the other one night stands I've had, she's quite straightforward and that makes her all the more attractive to me.

We get to the room with the number 108 inscribed on the door, I open the door so she can step inside first, she smirks at me and enters the room, I enter after her and lock the door. I turn around to ask if she wanted to order anything only to see her biting lips and staring intently at me, that action elicits a stirring in my groin. I walk towards her and capture her lips with mine, I should've known that she would too sweet, lost in feeling of her lips on mine, I deepen the kiss, I feel her tongue slip into a mouth which triggers a groan out of me, she pushes me onto the bed and straddles me, she kisses me intensely again. I'm so turned on at the way she's taking the lead, she unbuckles my belt and rips my shirt open, fuck! I can't seem to think of anything apart from the feel of her hands on my body. When we are both fully naked, I slide my erection into her and she moans at the penetration, she feels so good and I can't seem to get enough, we fuck thoroughly through the night till we both pass out.

I wake up to my phone ringing, I open my eyes and remember that I left my phone in my pants pocket, i stumble out of the bed and retrieve the phone "Hello"

"Landry! Where the hell are you"

"Xavi, why are you screaming this early"

"Early? Early? This is 12:45pm, and you have an appointment with matrix Empire by 1:00pm, so where the fuck are you" he screams into the phone.

"I'll be right there" I stand dressing up and hang up, notice that Maggie is no where to be seen, I head towards the bathroom and she isn't there, I don't find any of her belongings.

I head downstairs and ask the receptionist if my companion for the night had left and she confirms it, I head towards my car and try to call her and then I remember that we didn't exchange numbers, I drive towards my office and I can't seem to keep my thoughts at bay, the thought of this woman keeps bringing smiles to my face. I make up my mind to find that woman no matter how long it takes.
