I WAS VERY VERY HOT.
The humidity in the air clung to my skin like a bad fever and I was sinking into the stink of booze and smoke.
Where was I? When did I get here? I didn't really care.
I just felt so alive.
"Wow," I swayed clumsily in front of Aaliyah who quickly tackled me in her arms to steady me, "Fuck, everything is spinning."
You're falling into it.
If God came today, I probably wouldn't make it to heaven.
"I told you," Aaliyah scolded me, her eyes alarmed, "You're so fucking waved. I told you to take it slow."
"If you say so," I didn't pay any actual attention to what she was saying, smiling at her dazedly in my stupefied state, "You're usually right."
The girl who was my anchor for the night firmly seized my elbows, dragging me forward. "We are going outside to get some fresh air and I will go get you some cold water," She wasn't telling me, she was ordering me, "I will not let you loose your guts before the night is even over."
"Hmm?" Her words echoed in my head with no actual coherence.
"Stay here," I sighed with relief as cool air suddenly hit me, my muscles relaxing, "I'm coming back, Addie. Don't you dare move."
Stay here.
She was telling me not to move. Leaving a loose girl alone was never a good idea but I nodded as she turned around and sashayed back inside.
I glanced down at the fourth cup of poison in my hand, my vision wavering.
Did she realise that I was still holding onto my drink when she left?
I tipped half of it down and waited.
I was not going to move.
"Hey pretty."
I slowly turned my head to the voice and was unsurprised to find a handsome chocolate skinned stranger with a cancer stick stuck between his lips looking at me, my expression dull.
He looked like he belonged here unlike me.
He was gazing into my half lidded eyes with interest and then was looking down at my outfit, his brows raising with the action. He was looking down at my slinky wrap top and mini leather skirt like they were the best he'd never seen. Innocent but leaving enough to the imagination to tease.
