-- singling you out (brody)

[stephanie michelle davis]

Tonight had been just another typical night at Olivia's house. Her mother had sent her up to bed early to get some rest, and here she was an hour later laying awake tossing a volleyball up into the air. She hated how she could not sleep, but insomnia had seemed to be any everyday occurance as of lately. Her friend were surely in bed at this hour, so all that she'd been left with were her own thoughts and this ball she held in her hands.

She could hear someone stirring outside of her room, so not wanting her mom to know she'd still been awake she'd shut the small bedside light off and kept the ball quiet at her side. She could hear the footsteps signalling that her mother had been right outside her door, and as she saw the light creep into her room she quickly closed her eyes knowing her mother had been checking on her. She lay motionless in the bed until her mother was satisfied her daughter had been sleeping and shut the door again.

Letting out a sigh of relief Olivia had to laugh at how gullible her mother had been, but perhaps that was just one of the many reasons she loved her dearly. She could hear no more movement as she knew her mother had settled in for the night, and with that Liv know she should stay quiet so she wouldn't wake her. She continued to lay motionless until her bed lit up and she glanced over at the phone that'd been beside her.

She reached over and grabbed the small device as she saw she'd had a text from one of the kids she went to school with. She forgot when she'd even given them her number, but as she opened the message to see the rave's location she jumped at the chance to go. She quickly crawled out of her bed and walked over to her closet, and not wanting to put too much effort into her outfit she decided on a simple dress and a pair of heels. She did not put her heels on yet though as she made it to her window and opened it.

Climbing down the huge tree that'd grown out to her window would surely be difficult for a heel wearing Olivia, but thankfully barefoot it hadn't been too big of a deal. She slipped into her heels once on the ground and texted one of her friends to come get her as she started down the road. She could see the headlights coming into view as the car pulled over and she jumped in, and without hesitation she showed the person her text so they knew where they were going.

Pulling into the lot she could see the swarms of people heading into the warehouse, and after thanking her friend for the ride she jumped out of the vehicle leaving them to fend for themselves as she walked in the building with a group. She was immediately offered a drink at the door, and since it'd still had it's cap on she'd saw no harm as she twisted off the metal cap and discarded it. "To getting a good nights rest," she made a cheers with the person closest to her before taking a swig of her drink as she walked further into the crowded building as the music pulsed through her.

. . . . . . . . . . .

So tonight was just another night for brody he sat at home on his couch as his tv played in the background and he sat there counting his money it was something he did on a daily basis. Brody had a business like mentality in everything he did and counting his money was just bussiness it was the best way for him to see how much revune he had generated that day. He let out a small puff of air as he place his joint down as he finished counting the money he wrote ona pad that was to his right he got up and walked over to a small room and kneeled down and there was a safe he input the combination as the safe openned and he placed the money inside as he closed the door and locked it again he walked back into the living and picked up his joint yet again as he took a pull and held it in for a few seconds as he slowly let the air out. Brody leanned back as he looked up and saw that he had been listeing to the game that was going on so he watched as the game had come to the second half he smoked on as the game went on and about a hr later his phone had gone off in his pocket he reached in and pulled it out and saw it had been a text message he hit on the button that said read as the message showed Brody its matt party going on at my place need you to pass through man and bring some special dust or whatever you got ill pay top dollar dog plus you can hang have a beer and talked to a girl or two let me know man s very small grin came across brody's face as he finished reading the message he put the phone on the table as he took a couple more drags of his joint before ligthing it out and placing it on the ash try he walked up to his bathroom and took a real quick shower. He stepped out and put on a pair of jeans and a white shirt he finished up the look with a brown jacket and some black loafers he took a look in the mirror and liked what he saw and off to the party beore he left he got some of the stuff matt had mentioned in his text and made his way out of his apartment and to the party.

Brody arrived to the party which was in full swing he was greeted at the door as he was let in the first person he saw was matt who was quick to wlecome him to the party. He handed matt a backpack full of a conjuction of weed and other drugs matt's eyes lit up like a kid at christmas time. He handed him a wad of money and that would be the last brody would see of him. Brody looked around and there were people dancing drinking and having fun he walked over to the bar and got himself a beer which he openned and took a quick gulp. There were alot of females at the party and brody couldnt help but himself to any girl here there were all up for grabs and he was looking forward to taking one of them back to his place and just have some fun he approached a group of grils and began working his charm as he offered them drinks and sooner then later they were all taking shots....shot..after...shot the night went away as one girl just fully came on to brody and began to kiss him and brody being the guy he was kissed her right back.


Unfourtnately the girl was later to puke all over the floor and brody was quick to dismiss the girl and walk the other wayhe was going to take it easy for awhile as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a joint and lit it up and took a couple pulls. Brody was actually known all over the city for having the best product in town.He offered people weed, pills anything there little heart could desire brody offered but it was the way he handled his bussiness was what set him apart for any other drug dealer in town....by no means necassary did he considered himself a drug dealer he was so much more then that not only did he sell drugs he was also invlovled in other things so to him he was just your local businessman. He had invested his money in different ventures and things so he had money coming from all over.

After he was done with his joint he walked back in the party and made his way to the bar and got another beer and he just stood there in the control just watching people and there interactions. He was going to take it slow for now and just hang in the shadows drink the night away and see where it would go from there...

Olivia could feel herself starting to dance as the music had pulsed through her body, so as she moved in towards the middle of the crowd she kept right on shaking her hips as she'd pull the drink up to take a swig when needed. Parties had always been a great way for her to get attention, and tonight had been no different as few around were taking notice and introducing themselves to her. She just had a laugh and kept on dancing, the interaction with the strangers not making it much past the introduction, but as the night moved along she did sort of wish that she'd found someone worth talking to.

Her bottle seemed to be getting light, that meaning that she'd been nearing the finish of her drink, so not wanting to be empty handed she danced her way out of the center of the building and started to walk around the back wall looking at all of the people that were just lounging around. She couldn't help but notice all of the people hanging all over one another, but she just shrugged it off unsure why they felt the need to be so clingy. There were some very handsome people here tonight, but nobody that she could see herself really singling out to go and chat it up with. She pulled her phone from her pocket and texted one of her friends just to see if they had been awake, but she didn't expect much since they were probably passed out. Sometimes she hated being one of the few insomniacs in the group, but other times it was great that she didn't miss out on opportunities like this.

She reached the makeshift bar that had been set up as she leaned over it looking for the people who were dispensing the drinks. She had to laugh that the raves made sure to have bartenders, something that she would have never thought to have, but as she got the mans attention and he came over with a fresh beer she thanked him as she slid some cash across the bar. What was the point in having a designated bartender if he wasn't even going to card? Not that she minded since she had surely been underage, and looking around she could tell that many of the other already drunk dancers were underaged too. She opened the cap of the bottle as she took another swig and stepped away from the bar.

She took a moment to take in her surroundings, and at that time that's when she first saw Brody. He seemed to be distancing himself from the festivities as she could tell he'd been watching something, though of course she had no idea what had captivated him, and although she knew she shouldn't she couldn't help but walk over in his direction. Stepping up beside him she took another drink as she tried to gauge his view as she turned to face the direction he'd been looking in, and as she did that she followed his sight trying to find one thing that stood out. She did start to think that he could have been watching the party as a whole, not singling just one person out, so instead of trying to figure it all out anymore she just stopped as she glanced over at him once more.

"Not much of a dancer?" She called out over the music so he could hear her, and when she was able to snap his attention to her she couldn't help but grin, "someone as handsome as you does better out in the crowd you know, not being a wallflower." She laughed as she tried to keep her voice loud enough that he could hear, but she hoped she didn't come off as some shouting freak. She looked back out into the crowd at a group of girls that were as drunk as could be, and laughing she just pulled her attention back to the male before her. "Do you talk much, or are you just one of those strong silent types?" Perhaps he hadn't been talking since she really hadn't give him a chance to yet with her constant speech, but now she silenced herself taking another swig so she couldn't keep speaking.

The party itself was just like any party brody had attended. He this was probally the best part of the whole thing it was when he would distance himself and either stand or sit in a corner of the room where the party was held at and just people watch. Brody was no freak by any chance this was just something he had been doing ever since he was a kid. It was just so intersting to see how people interact with one another the body language spoke volumes it wasnt science but yku could usually know what the person was thinking withpit talking to them there body language n gestures were alternate signs. Brody took another gulp of his beer as his eyes were solemly keep at the party he wasnt jst watching one person he was watching everybody it had been pretty quiet until he heard a girls voice in the distance. "not much of a dancer"?[\b] was the firstr thing he heard the voice say he looked over and thats when he saw olivia standing there with a beer taking a a gulp. She was a small slender girl who had a beautiful facial structure and a noce tone but thick body in all the right places. Yea brody could dance and he had done that with the girl earlier so he didnt feel like he should answer that question she didnt wait for an answer as she threw a compliment his way.

He let out a small grin brody wasnt one to show alot of emotion and it was hard for people to get a read on him she finished her introduction by thinking he was a wall flower in reality brpdy was one of those strong silent type so when he spoke people paid attention and held on to every word he spoke. He took another gulp finishing up what was he 5th beer he took another look at her up akd down before he spoke "why thanks for stating the obivious about my handsomeness just to be polite i do dance i jst got nored and the girl i was dancing with couldnt keep it in and threw up on the floor so yea....no im no wallflower jst more of the strong silent type"[\color]. It was just the way brody spoke that gave off a arrogant cocky attitude but yet that never seemed to matter because he really didnt care.

"how about you whats a pyt like yourself doing here standing at "bar" with a stranger when you should be out there shaking it like everybodg else....im sure there an array of find gentlemen out there who would kill to dance with you oh srry i meant little boys"[\color]. He let out a small chuckle as he finished his statement he loooked ove at the bartender and with his two fingers signaled for two more beers as they were placed infront of him.

Brody took a gulp of his as he placed the other infront of olivia "names brody"[\color] he extended his out to her so they could shake for everything that had happen since they both arrived it was weird the a drink would bring these two to meet one another sure she could have gone up to anyother guy but she didnt she choose brody amd that had to say something he couldnt help but keep a sly little smirk while he was talking to her brody liked what he saw right infront of him and wasnt going to be shy to show it.....

Liv wasn't sure if this had been the best idea, coming over to the stranger to talk to him, but as he looked at her all she could do was smile as she left her hands at her sides letting him freely look her over without any obstruction. After she'd spoke he'd stayed silent for a moment, something in her telling her to just turn around as he obviously hadn't been up for a conversation, but soon she heard words spring from his mouth and she couldn't help but listen carefully to each and every one.

"I take it you don't have that much of a problem in the confidence department?" she mused hearing his response to her calling him handsome, though confidence had never been something to disguist but instead she found it to make the person that much more enjoyable. It's not that she hated guys that second guessed themselves, but nine times out of ten she'd choose the ones who were confident instead of nervous all of the time. As he spoke of the chick puking out on the floor Liv had been mid-swig and her face scrunched into the most sour of looks, her head cranking in the direction of the floor imagining spew somewhere out there that people were probably stepping through and dancing in. "I hope she cleaned it up, i'd hate to step in it." The idea had her sick to her stomach, but she was definitely one that could hold any and all alcohol until the hangover anyway.

She nodded as he explained himself, "Even the strong silent type needs a night off to get out there and enjoy himself right?" She wanted to nudge him playfully but being a few steps away kept her from doing so as she instead took another faithful drink, that being her security blanket while she chatted up this very handsome stranger. His question had taken her by surprise as she looked at him with those big brown eyes of hers curiously for a moment wondering if he'd honestly cared, or if he was just forcing the conversation along so he could push her away soon.

"You know you're right, there probably are a ton of guys out there that'd kill for me, so you should be lucky i've stopped by to pay you some attention before I disappear into the sea of a million fans." She teased laughing some as she glanced at the dancefloor knowing it wouldn't be that awesome, she definitely did not have the million guys pawning after her. "So what does that make you, a man who wants nothing to do with me?" She grinned as she heard his remark about the little boys on the dancefloor, obviously he hadn't been too disguisted with what he'd seen since he'd still been talking to her so that'd been a good thing.

She watched his gesture to the makeshift bartender and just smiled as she couldn't stop watching him, the guy bringing two more beers over as she watched him place one infront of her as he took a drink of the other, "thanks." She had to at least be polite to the man that'd just gotten her drink for her, especially since her other had become rather light so she'd been reaching the end, and soon with one more swig she tasted the strongest alcohol at the bottle as she placed the empty on the bar as her face grew sour quickly, "the bottom of the bottle is always the worst."

At introductions she couldn't help but grin when he'd mentioned his name, and as she watched his hand extend she was unsure if she should shake it or not, but not seeing the harm she brought her own up and slipped it into theirs shaking, "Olivia," she let her name be known as she now took her free hand and grabbed the bottle that'd been waiting for her at the bar, "and I promise I won't spew any of this up while i'm around you, I think seeing one chick yack is enough for one night, wouldn't you agree?" She had to silently thank that chick though, or else these two would have never met as he'd probably still be out there with her.

. . . . . . . . . . .

As the night went on brody spent most of his time talking to Olivia there was something about this girl that made him only focus only her. Maybe it was the way she was handling herself around him most girls would be trying to impress him with some stupid lines because of who he was. Most of the time all they wanted was to score some free drugs from him. He took gulp of his beer as he went on to respond her remark. ’Confidence is what defies us to take risk through out life if you don’t have it then your just another little fish in the pond for sharks like myself to feed upon you” “plus im a cocky ass mother f er” he let out a smile as he said it because he knew everything he said was true. He shook his head as she went on to say about hoping if the girl had cleaned up he knew she hadn’t because well who would nobody saw it so why clean it up. ”yea you and the rest of the people most likely have already stepped on it but everybody seems to drunk to even care so sorry’ another chuckle came out of his mouth as his beer was coming to an end yet again he motion the bartender for another couple beers as he gave him a small tip.

He took the freshly open beer and took a sip looking around as he ignored her statement about how the strong silent types need a day off to have fun. ”how do you know if im having fun right now….ah see you didn’t you just assumed I wasn’t….well I do thank you for taking time to spend time with me….im sure those millions and millions of fans are eager to talk to you like that guy over there who’s been eyeing you since we began talking. Has not taken his eye off of you at all and he seems pretty pissed that your talking to me’ Brody watched the guy and just gave him the cockiest smile and the guy just glared right at him ”hi hater” was the only thing he said as he stop paying the guy any mind. His focus was once again on Olivia ”no it doesn’t make me a man who doesn’t want anything with you….it makes me a man who has peeked your interest over every other kid in here….who has drawn you in by his charming good looks who by the end of the night expects he will be dancing with you or taking you home….notice I said excepts not wants that’s the man it makes me” .

Brody wasn’t one to want something whatever he wanted he could have so instead he excepted things to go his way and 9 times out of 10 they went his way and tonight was no different. She thanked him for the beer and made a face saying how the bottom of the beer was always the worst. As he took a couple gulps of his beer he reached into his pocket and reached another one of his joints and lit it up and took a pull from it as she finally let her name be known her name had been Olivia and she shook his hand her skin felt very smooth. Something about her touched sent goose bumps all over his body it was something he had never experienced before. He shook it out of his mind as he took another drag from his joint and let out a ring of smoke. ”don’t make promise’s you can’t keep” just as he was going to keep the conversation going someone came up to brody and spoke to him in private all he could do is look at the kid. He watched over to where he had left Olivia he walked over to her. ”so you remember those millions and millions of fans that are dying to be with you….well lucky for them I have some business to attended to but I’ll be back later so we can pick up where we left off’ his hand grazed over her chin as he looked her dead in the eye as he held her gaze with his own before letting go and following the kid into the crowd. Not 2 mins later the kid that had been glaring brody came to where Olivia was at and tried to act like brody ”so I see you got rid of that loser…now your ready to hit the big leagues”…
