Clarissa was feeling rebellious. She was going to a club with Baylee tonight. She tried to get another friend but seems their phone numbers have changed. It was too long since she even attempted to call one of her friends.

After a day of errands and after feeding and putting the kids to bed, she picks out the shortest most revealing dress she had in her closet. A deep red, spaghetti straps, tight-fitting number. The length cut right under her knees but the slit on the sides ran all the way up to her thighs. The neckline of the dress was cut high, just under her collarbone, but the back of the dress was almost non-existent . It made a large U and settled right at her lower back.

She bought this dress online and had to wait 3 three weeks just to see it. She didn't know why. She never really thought she would wear it. Didn't know she had the guts to.

As she finishes her last touched on her make-up she picks up her phone and calls her Ex-husband.

"Hello." He answers after two rings. He was at a late-night dinner meeting. It was going too well, the men he was surrounded by didn't want to call it a night and started ordering more drinks and lighting cigars.

"Hey. I'm just calling to let you know, I'm going out tonight. Kate is with the kids. I told her to call you first if there is an emergency."

"Why? Where are you going?"

"I will be drinking." She admits. The bell rings at that moment. Jacob hears it. "I gotta go." She hangs up.

Baylee arrived shortly after 10 pm and brought a friend. A gay friend called Mikey. His name was Michael but he hated being called that. What happened the other night with Lola and Niko was still fresh on her mind but she did not want to discourage her sister from having a good time.

Mikey was fun no matter what day of the week it was so he was the perfect person to bring along.

They arrived at the club and immediately after getting drinks Mikey pulls Clarissa onto the dance floor. She got to really be enjoying herself. She was as stiff as a board but she lets Mikey turn and twist her like they were two professional ballroom dancers.
Surprisingly as the night progressed and she put a few more drinks in her system she didn't feel drunk. The constant movement seem to be burning it all out. "Let's take a break." She suggested.

"I'm just getting started girl. You go ahead." Mikey keeps dancing.

Clarissa orders two drinks from a near by waitress and sits beside her sister in a private booth. "Someone's having fun." Baylee comments.

"Why not." She downs her drink. She hands one to her sister who refuses. "Oh come on. Drink with me."

"Can you say peer pressure?"

"Peer pressure, you nun."

Baylee giggles. "I love this side of you. I've been trying to get you to have fun like this for years."

"Then why aren't you having fun with me?"

"I am... It's so much more fun watching you sober."

"Oh please... One drink won't kill you."

Baylee smirks as she shakes her head. "I can't believe you're the one saying this to me right now."

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm pregnant." She states openly.

"You should be a sober coach I swear."

"I'm being serious. Niko is the father. I don't know what to do."

Clarissa blinks. She wasn't in the right frame of mind to give guidance. "Have to admit... I never ever thought I would see the day."

Neither did Baylee. She didn't want to be a mother. It's just not in her. She would much rather be the cool aunt. "I don't know what to do."

"No woman does." Clarissa takes her shot back. Don't stress. It's not good for the baby. Let's dance and when I'm sober we can talk about this again."

"I think I'm going home."

"I think you should. At least I have Mikey."


A bit later...

Jacob enters the club still dressed in his business attire, jacket, tie, the whole works. As soon as he could leave he did. He called kate, found out where the mother of his children was and came straight.
Immediately, he spots her. She was dancing with a very handsome guy who had his hands all over her. He grinds his teeth together at the sight. Immediately, he stalks towards her while pushing aside multiple people in the process. What the hell was she doing? He yanks her to his side. "What the hell are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" She tries to pull her arm free.

Instead he takes her through the dance-floor, and sets her back against the nearest wall. He leans close to ear to speak over the roaring music. "What is this huh?"

"What? I'm just having fun."

He leans close again. "This is reckless fun." He unintentionally breaths in her scent and had to clear his throat to disrupt the suddenly feeling of euphoria.

"Is it really?" She tits her head to the side.

"You're a public figure. Everything you do will be published tomorrow morning. What's wrong with you? And how much have you had to drink?"

"I think the better question is what are you doing here?"

"Saving you from shame in the morning." He grabs her forearm as if he was going to pull her out of there like a child.

"Let me go." She tries to pull free but instead he tugs her right up against him.

"Excuse me." Clarissa's dance partner shows up near.

"Boyfriend?" Jacob waves his brows towards him.

"Bro." He intervenes. "She said to let her go." No its not Mikey. It was a random guy who offered to buy her a drink. He then took the opportunity to ask her to dance. This Rebellious feeling she had didn't let her hesitate. When her new friend put his hands on her waist and around her back she let him.

"Mind your business." Jacob snarls then looks back to his priority at the moment. "You remember the last time I collected you drunk in a club? You really want that again?"

"Why are you ruining my fun?"

His grip on her tightens. "Are you kidding? Your a mother, a highly publicized about one. You want pictures of you posted everywhere? You want to see the bad mother headlines? I could see it now, Clarissa an alcoholic, child protective services to open an investigation."

"Let me go." She pulls.

"Why? Reality starting to hit you?"

"No. My dance partner is waiting for me." She turns to him. "What's your name again?"

Jacobs lips thinned. "Dick?"

"Rob." He glares at Jacob. "Come on baby." He shifts eye contact to Clair and extends his hand."

"She is not going anywhere with you. As a matter of fact, you should get lost."

"And if I don't?" The men were inching closer and closer together seeming to both be seconds from swinging at the other.

Jacob clenches his jaw down holding back so much. All his control was slipping. Almost gone even. "Let's go Clair." He orders but keeps his eyes on Rob.

"Why don't you concern yourself with Regina and let me and Rob get back to what we were doing." She wanted to hurt him. She wanted to dig into his heart and leave a lasting scar just as he did to her. She didn't know she had this type of feeling and behavior in her.

He rolls his eyes. "You're coming with me. Funs over."

"Let go... I'm staying here with Rob. At this rate Jacob you'll be the one in the papers."

"You're right." Instantly he lets go. Then unexpectedly he punches Rob in the mouth.
He was knocked out cold. He drops to the ground and goes straight to sleep.

"Jesus Jacob." Clarissa kneels beside the passed out man.

"Here you go baby, Special delivery another scene in a club. Just as you wanted."

"Why would you do this?"

"Get up and let's go." He grabs her arms again and pulls her up.

Security arrived and other club goers were tending to out-cold Rob."

"You gotta get outta here." A bouncer approaches Jacob with two in tow.

"You coming Clair?" He asks. Although he wasn't really asking.

She didn't know what he would do if she said no, and she didn't want him to get in any more trouble, so she nods and follows him out of the club.
