**Robert POV: **
I am in town for a mission. There have been some killings that have been happening and I must find out who is doing them and why. I go to a popular shifter club and scan the inside of the club. The scanner is connected to my glasses, so it scans all the faces in the club and saves them in the database. I scan the whole club and get an alert from it.
The alerts said Cleopatra Rinaldi, my heart stops my ex-wife is here. I haven't seen her in two years. After two years of searching for her, I found her in a shifter club which makes no sense because she doesn't like the shifter world.
I looked around the club and there she was in VIP dancing with Jazz. I continued to watch and noticed that every time a man attempted to go to that section, he stopped by the two werewolves in front of the VIP. I got to figure out a way to get to her. I need to talk to her, but how can I get past the guard? I am a hunter and surely will be dead if anyone here finds out.
I sat and watched her as she dances with Jazz, even in the darkness of the club she looks beautiful more beautiful than I remember. I have to figure out a way to talk to her. She walks down the stairs from VIP with a bouncer following her. I notice she is walking my way, then I realize I am standing next to the bathroom. I run into the bathroom and wait for her I hear the door close and lock and I make my move.
"Cleo", I say as I grab her shoulder.
"Robert!", she says as she jumps.
"Oh, baby it's so good to see you", I attempt to hug her, but she pushes me away. This is understandable since we haven't seen each other in two years.
"Robert what the hell are you doing here", she sounds shocked and angry.
"Cleo, we don't have much time before that bouncer comes looking for you. Please have dinner with me", I said with pleading eyes.
"Dinner with you...why would I have dinner with you", she says with disgust and hurt.
"Because we need to talk Cleo, please", I am basically begging.
"Okay...okay", she reluctantly says.
"Give me your phone so my phone can scan your number and store it", she does what I ask. I attempt to leave but she stops me.
"Wait... don't go out yet. The bouncer is waiting for me. I will pee first, then after I leave you leave", she says as she walks into the stall.
"So how have you been", I asked, trying to ease the awkwardness.
"Great actually", she says as she exits the stall. She washes her hands. As she tries to leave, I grab her hand.
"I will call you later", I said, looking at her with love in my eyes.
"Just text me, "she says as she walks out of the bathroom.
I check my phone and see her number is stored in it. I leave the club seeing that whoever I am looking for is not here. Once I get outside, I google romantic restaurants near me and pick the first one, Miser Chatu.
**Cleo POV: **
All the liquor I drank got me needing to pee. I didn't know someone was in the bathroom up till I felt someone grab my shoulder. I turn around and my heart stopped the one person I never expected to see ever again in my life was standing less than 12 inches from me.
"Robert!", I said as I jumped.
"OH baby it's so good to see you", he attempts to hug me but I push him away.
"Robert what the hell are you doing here", I said, shocked and angry. Out of the clubs in the world, he had to be in this one. And it's obvious that he saw me before I saw him.
"Cleo, we don't have much time before that bouncer comes looking for you. Please have dinner with me", he says with pleading eyes. I always hated those eyes. I could never say no to him when he looks at me like that.
"Dinner with you...why would I have dinner with you", I say with disgust and hurt.
"Because we need to talk Cleo please", he is begging something must be going on with him.
"Okay...okay", I reluctantly said.
"Give me your phone so my phone can scan your number and store it", and he tries to leave. I stop him.
"Wait... don't go out yet. The bouncer is waiting for me. I will pee first, then after I leave you leave", I said, not wanting him to leave before me.
"So how have you been", he is trying to ease the awkwardness. While I am trying not to cry in the stall.
"Great actually", I said as I exited the stall. I wash my hands tried, as I tried to leave he grab my hand.
"I will call you later", he says with a smile.
"Just text me, "I said as she walked out of the bathroom.
I walked out of the bathroom and took a deep breath. I can't believe I agreed to have dinner with the man who ripped out my heart, threw it on the floor, the river danced on it with cleats, and then shitted on it. I am starting to feel hot and pissed. I need another drink. Jazz was still dancing when I got to VIP. My phone lit up it's a message from Robert.
*Robert: meet me at Miser Chatu tomorrow and 7 pm
Me: OK, see you then
Robert: It was nice seeing you after all these years.
Me: You as well
Robert: Good Night
Cleo: Nite *
"Texting Valenzano", I hear Jazz ask as she tries to look at my phone.
"It is not Valenzano", I said to her. She looked shocked.
"Well, who is it", she is so noisy.
"I will tell you tomorrow, I promise", we continued to party, even staying at the club until it closes.
