Kasity :

•Desperado
Sitting in a old Monte Carlo
A man whose heart is hollow,
Take it easy
I'm not tryna go against you
Actually, I'm going withcha•

We reached the party and got out of the car.

I didn't ask Alastair anything else, because it was clear that he was not willing to answer my questions.

As we were walking towards the entrance, I could notice that the atmosphere was pretty good. It was a calm party, thank God because I was not in the mood for extreme things.

"Alastair Moreno." Alastair said when the guard at the entrance asked him.

"And?" the guard asked, while looking at me.

"Kasity Damassiel." I replied.

As soon as he verified our names, we got in and walked straight to the bar.

"So, what are you going to drink Ms. Damassiel?" Alastair asked.

"Well, I'm not really in the mood..." I answer.

At that moment he approached me and looked me in the eyes...

•Gotta get up out of here and
You ain't leaving me behind
I know you won't, 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, just want outta here, yeah
Once I'm gone, ain't no going back•

"We agreed that you'd leave everything behind for at least once, didn't we?" he says with a calming voice.

"Yeah, you're not helping me much since you're not answering my questions." I reply.

"I will." He assures me once again.

"A pink vodka lemonade please." I say to the barman as I move my head to the side.

"You better keep your word Moreno." I tell him, with a slightly threatening tone.

"Would you like to dance Ms. Damassiel?" he says right after as he offers me his hand.

"Be careful." I say staring at his eyes as I give him my hand.

"I am." he answers, knowing really well what he was doing.

The music wasn't too loud, the lights were just fine and the atmosphere was quite relaxing. For once, I let my mind forget everything. I let my mind travel and leave everything behind, just to breathe.

•If you want
We could be, yeah, runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing here for me
There ain't nothing here for me anymore
But I don't wanna be alone•
