Moon City.
10:00 pm Star Club.
Star Club was the hottest place in town on Friday nights. You could find everyone from aristocratic elites to rich sons and daughters partying away their parents endless supply of money.
To even regular honest working people. It didn't matter who they were Star club welcomed them all.
Jack Crescent sat at the bar sipping his small glass of bottom shelf whiskey. It was all he could afford on his measly savings.
He was minding his own business when the murmurs and chatter of the club goers started to quiet down. It was all due to the entrance of a stunningly beautiful woman. One that everyone in Moon City knew.
Kara Stone only daughter of the great Stone family. They were apart of the 4 great families that founded Moon City over 150 years ago.
She was wearing a short black dress that hugged her body in all the right places. It matched beautifully with her short neck length black hair and purple eyes.
She was breathtaking.
Jack wanted to know what all the commotion was about so he turned around on his stool and nearly spit out his drink. He say probably one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen, not like he had seen many.
However he immediately was able to pick out her security detail hiding behind her and er friends.
Which meant that it was someone of high status that he shouldn't even think about. So Jack immediately turned back around and continued to nurse his drink without giving it a second thought.
Jack in fact did not know who she was.
However for the briefest moment Kara caught a glimpse of jack at the bar and was intrigued that he almost seemed uninterested in her.
Kara was not vain by any sense of the word but she knew how beautiful she looked and was proud that she took such good care of herself. She was used to having people gawk and stare at her wherever she went.
However she did not come here to be gawked at so she and her two friends walked through the crowed of people and headed to one of the V.I.P booths at the back of the club.
Not giving Jack another thought.

1 hour later.
Jack had been nursing his fourth whiskey of the night and was feeling its effects. Needing to go to the bathroom but not wanting to seem like he was not going to pay he cleared his tab.
Deciding he was done for the night.
He stumbled down the hallway after he finished his bathroom business when he accidently knocked into someone.
He immediately apologized with a slur. However when he looked up his breath got caught in his throat.
It was the woman that made all the commotion earlier.
'She's even more breathtaking up close.' Jack thought.
In a velvety voice she said "It's ok." As she looked Jack over from head to toe.
Jack was ruggedly handsome with his military style haircut and clean shaven face. He wore an old leather jacket and white t-shirt with black jeans and black boots. It was a pretty standard outfit for him. Which he wore a lot.
Kara was pleased with the way he looked up close, though she originally forgot about him after her brief moment of interest.
She was glad that she was able to look at him up close. Kara thought he was very cute.
Jack was about to leave when she asked him a question catching him off guard.
"Would you like to have a drink with me." She asked.
Jack was surprised at first. Never in a million years did he ever think that such a beautiful woman would ever as to drink with him.
However he knew in his heart that she was way out of his league, he still wanted to have fun before he left for the army. So he decided to 'live' a little.
"Sure. I'd love to." Jack said.
Kara gave him a devilishly sensual smile and led him back to her V.I.P room to have a few drinks.
In the room Kara introduced herself and her two friends.
"My name is Kara Stone and these are my two friends Mimi and Grace."
"Nice to meet you my name is Jack Crescent." he said as he sat down next to Kara. Though he felt a little awkward sitting so close to her.
The night dragged on and both Kara and Jack grew more and more buzzed as they drank. Along with that they both got a little more flirty with each other.
Kara was leaning on Jack twirling er finger on his thigh.
"Hey I have a question." Kara asked.
"Mhm what's your question." Jack answered. By this time both of them were both feeling the effects of the alcohol a lot. so neither of them were speaking perfectly.
They were slurring their words. However they were both fully aware of their surroundings and what they were saying.
They were just more free and willing to talk about certain things, that they probably wouldn't otherwise.
Kara took a deep breath and then drank a little more of her fruity alcoholic drink before saying.
"My parents are forcing me into an arranged marriage, with someone I will more than likely loath. However I have made up my mind I will live for myself and prove to the world that i am something great. Besides living in my parents shadow."
Jack sobered up a little bit at her abrupt confession. He felt in his heart that he more than likely need to pay attention to what she was saying.
"So with that being said. Will you do me the honor of marrying me in order to help me escape from my families grasp."
Jack's eyes widened at her sudden confession, which completely caught him off guard.
He had nothing to say as a million different thoughts were rushing through his head at that moment.
