The woman in the red dress took him out to the dance floor and Eddie took this time to really take a look at her. She was tall with dark hair and complexion, seeming middle-eastern in appearance. She was extremely pretty and the red dress hugged her in just the right areas. As they began to dance he gave her a charming smile.
"Edwin Dean," he told her. "But you can call me Eddie if you like."
She gave him a smile as well, "You can call me Rhi," she said, her smile suggestive.
Even dancing, it was easy for Eddie to keep his eyes on the room. The two predators remained locked in their dance, but from this vantage point, Eddie picked up another - a man on the balcony staring down like a hawk looking for its prey. It seemed that Manifesto was not only a high class dance bar, but was a place for dangerous people as well. At this point they had done nothing to bother him, so it hardly mattered though.
He turned his attention back to Rhi, "A pleasure to meet you, Rhi," he pulled her a little closer, and she didn't resist. "And what, may I ask brings you to this fine establishment on a cold winter's night."
"Mixing a little business and pleasure," she said, a wry smile on her lips. "And you?"
He returned her smile, "Oh, you know. I needed a distraction."
"And are you?"
"Distracted? Yes, plenty distracted."
She laughed at that, and it was a nice sound among the sounds of the club. The song ended a little too soon for Eddie's liking. "May I buy you a drink Rhi?" He gestured towards the bar.
Rhi nodded and they headed over. "Another scotch and whatever the Lady would like,"
"The same," Rhi said, earning a raised eyebrow from Eddie.
"A woman who orders a scotch - I think I'm in love." his tone and the smirk on his face showed he was joking and she responded again with light hearted laughter.
