It wasn't his first gig. Definitely not. But it was his first gig at the Den. He was to be performing for a friend and coworker's birthday, and he'd never really gone to the Opium Den before, so he figured he might want to check out the territory. As Dane walked into the building, after the bouncers let him in, of course, he took in the large room. It was a huge warehouse turned into a night club. There were black lights and neon lights, strobe lights, fake smoke, loud, pulsing music... Everything that Dane loved about playing clubs back in Biloxi. He saw a metal spiral staircase that lead to an upper level of the Den. It overlooked the dance floor, which was gyrating with bodies as they grinded to the beat coming from the subwoofers. Dane figured that was the VIP lounge. It made the most sense. He looked around him. There was a bar with these retro water lights with bubbles inside them behind it. On the opposite side of the room, there was a stage, with people dancing on it. This, he knew, was where his band was going to set up on Saturday.
Dane made his way to the bar, and ordered himself a Coke. He didn't have x's on the back of his hands, but he still didn't feel like drinking. The lady who he paid to get in didn't card him, probably because she was distracted by the lengthy line that was outside of people wanting to get in. Dane had given his band's name and the money, and she just sort of waved him by. He sat down at the bar, not really paying attention to what was going on around him. There was an empty stool to his left, and he knew there was some incredibly drunk girl on his right, but he ignored the fact that she was touching him a lot. He sipped his Coke quietly, before asking the bar tender to spike it with a little JD.

Karin was enjoying her time out, she always did as long as the music was good and not too many guys were hitting on her. It might have been her blonde hair or her outfits but most the time she got a lot of attention, tonight was different and she kind of liked it. Instead of letting her blond hair fall loose like she normally she had it pulled back and hidden under a brown wig. Karin walked up ti the VIP bar and sat on the one empty stool in the whole row. She looked to her right and saw a young looking guy getting touched a lot by a drunk woman, Karin thought this girl looked extremely stupid.
Karin pulled out a pen and wrote a note on a bar napkin sitting in front of her it said : Hey Kid is that dunk chick bothering you? She slip the napkin in front of him and tapped on the bar to get his attention. She then gave him a slight smile and adjusted a few messed up hairs in her wig before ordering herself a drink. Tonight she was all for the chocolate martini's.

Dane heard a gentle tapping and looked down at the bar. In front of him was a napkin with words scrawled on it. He looked at the girl who sat next to him, the one who wrote on the napkin. She looked extremely familiar, and it took him a second to realize that it was Karin Woodsen. He hadn't worked with her too much on the show, but he'd know that face anywhere, even if her trademark blonde hair was covered by a brunette wig. It didn't surprise him much that she didn't know who he was.
Looking down at the napkin, he grabbed one of the pencils on the counter that was for the Quick Draw lotto. His wrote back to her in his messy handwriting. I think she's trying to grab my package. He made a face at his writing. The napkin made it look even more messy than it was. He slid the napkin back toward Karin.

Karin watched as he wrote little note down and place it in front of her. She could not help but to laugh, she cover her mouth with her hand as she giggled. She wrote a few more words on the napkin and slipped it back to him. I can help you with that, I scar her off just watch, don't freak out okay? Karin climbed off her stood and when to stand behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind. the music was little loud so she was more reality on her body language to scare off the intoxicated woman. Karin kissed him on the cheek and the drunk girl looked at her a little awkwardly like Karin was stealing away her date .
Laughing again Karin spun the bar stool around and place her hands on both of the kids knees then leaned in close to his ear . " if this does not scar her off nothing will. " Karin Began to nibble on his ear and then glared over that the drunk girl . Karin love that she was such a good actress. She watched to see if the girl was leaving, hopefully she got the point.

Dane looked down at the napkin. Don't freak out? What was she going to to? He looked at Karin, watching her as she got off her stool and stood behind him. He felt her arms around him, and not long after her lips on his cheek. He sat there motionless, concentrating on Karin. He didn't look at the drunk girl next to him. His guard was thrown when she spun him around and placed her hands on his knees. Karin whispered in his ear. He could feel her warm breath on his face. He lost his concentration when she nibbled on his ear, and he had to stop himself from eliciting a moan. When Karin glared at Dean's drunk bar neighbor, he almost asked her why she stopped. But as the girl shot them a look of disgust, Dean remembered what was going on. He looked at Karin. He knew she still had no idea who he was, but apparently that didn't matter to her. She was an actress, after all. In some movies, people did more than that with strangers on the first day of fliming.
"You're a tease," Dean said, his voice rough. After all, you can't do that to a guy and expect him not to get turned on. It was nature for him.

Karin could not help to laugh when he called her a tease, some of the giggling may have been because of the alcohol she had already consumed. " A tease come on if anything I deserve the MTV award for best Tease I was just acting you know, Your not really my type ." Karon held her hand out to him for him to shake. " Karin Woodsen, You may recognized me more as a blonde, but I decided to wear a wig tonight I get less attention that way....And you are ?" Karin let go of his hand and made a grab for her martini as the bar tender sat in in from of the stool she was just sitting at. She drank half of it down in one gulp. She then smiled at the he newest prop. What brings a guy like you into a place like this? " Karin asked before finishing the rest of her martini. " Those thing never last long enough . I can go through eight of them in no time. ' She placed the glass down at the bar and climbed back on her stool.

Dane shrugged. He was still a little flustered, but that was nothing he couldn't control. "You can win them all," he said, joking about not begin Karin's type. "Dane Thomas," he said, taking Karin's hand and kissing it. "And you're right, I did know who you were. I work on Just Hear Me, too. I'm not a major role or anything, and I don't think we've ever had any scenes together." He let go of her hand and placed his own on his leg.
He watched as she downed half of her martini in one go. "Well, my best friend is having a birthday here on Saturday, and she asked my band to play. You going to Ashlyn's party?" he asked, taking a swig of his Jack and Coke. He kinda hoped she was, so he could show off a little. But to be fair, Karin wasn't exactly his type, either. He generally liked girls to be sober when they hooked up.

" Why yes Dane I am going to Ashlyn's party, I wouldn't miss a good party if my life depended on it". Karin pulled off her wig and places in down on the bar before untying her hair and letting her blonde locks fall freely. " I don't think we have any scenes together either but after tonight I bet, karma usually works that way." Karin laughed and waved the bartender for another one. She shot him a sweet smile and then turned back to Dane. " So your in a band that pretty cool" Karin rand her finger thought her hair and giggle a bit again. So what you you do ? Play guitar, drums, keyboard, sing ? "

Dane raised an eyebrow when Karin pulled her wig off. "Yeah, I'm in a band," he said, nodding. Then he had to shake his hair out of his eyes. "I'm the singer, but I dabble in guitar, piano, and drums." He finished off his Jack and Coke, and gestured for the bar tender to get him a refill. For some reason, he felt like getting smashed, even though when he walked in, he had no intentions of drinking in the first place.
The beat in the song changed, and along with it, the atmosphere of the room. Even though he knew she was intoxicated and that he wasn't thinking his straightest either, Dane offered his hand to Karin. "Wanna dance?" he asked her.

Karin smiled When Dane asked her to dance she had already a a few and was felling good might as well dance with him. Karin shoved the brunette wig in to her over sized bag and placed it on her shoulder she was not going to let it out of her sight. " Sure Thomas, let do this" Karin smirked and got of her bar stool before taking his hand and guiding him to a less crowded part of the dance floor. " Now the only thing I have to worry about is some drunken loser trying to dace with e do if i get all up in you personal space kid it is for my own protection. Karin start dancing and to her surprise she was not have any troubles dancing even with her heals on " So Thomas, " She said calling him by his last name again. " who do you play on the show?'outfit |

Dane's hand was taken and he followed Karin to a more deserted part of the floor. That really wasn't saying much, since the place was crowded anyway. He placed his hands on Karin's hips, trying to get the feel of the beat and the feel of her body moving together. Dane wasn't the world's best dancer, but he had fun doing it and he could break it down every so often. Once he got the feel of the beat, he started moving in tune with Karin. They were close, and he could smell the chocolate martinis on her.
She asked him about his character, and Dane actually had to think for a second. "Well," he started. "I play Parker Wallace. He's kind of quiet... I haven't been around much, but the producers are telling me that Parker's going to become a more prominent character soon."

"That's Cool," Karin said loud enough to speak, He was not a bad dancer but with a few drinks in her she began to sway crazier to the music the she did usually . Karin let his and on her hips so she began to move to the music and Dane quickly got the idea for the way she danced, he was not he best but danced better them most guys she usually dances with. " My character Carrie Sullivan she is the quiet girl but she know a lot about the paranormal maybe soon We will met up for a scene" Kain spun herself in a circle letting her blonde hair flick around freely now that is was exposed she knew people will begin to realize who she was. "Maybe If I sweet talk the producers I can see if you can come in and be Carrie's best friend or something"' The song song changer to one with a slower beat she place her arms around Dane's Neck and kept dancing.

Dane let Karin lead him in the dance. She was better at it than him anyway. He chuckled at her comment. "That would be fun," he said. He wouldn't mind his character hanging out with Karin's. The beat slowed down, and Dane felt Karin move her arms to around his neck. He put his hands higher, on her waist. It wasn't exactly a slow dance, but Dane didn't care too much. He liked being in connection with another human being, especially in a place like this, a place he hadn't been to before.
"I love working on the show... It's kinda cool that I'm a minor role though, because it gives me a lot of time to work on my music." His band, The Challenge, was in the midst of getting a recording contract. He could have gotten one long ago, but he never wanted to use his connections like that. He wanted people to like his music for his music, not only because of the one who was singing it.

" Music Eh? Sometime you can become more successful as a musical artist then a actor. It only depends on how determined you are to make it. I am determined One of these days I am going to the new Angelina In Hollywood. All I need is one big role in a movie, and possibly my brunette wig and I be all Set" Karin felt blondes in Hollywood were usually treated like bimbo's Karin did not want someone to see her like that so she was thinking of changing her hair permanently but at the moment on JHM she couldn't it was part of her contract.
"I talk to someone tomorrow about that, best friend role Idea," Karin was beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol and rested her head on Dane's shoulder. "Do you want to be my best friend Dane?" she asked as she listen to he is heart beating in his chest.for a moment before looking up, "Do you think Ashlyn Can share you?"
