Violet Rose

Chapter 1

"Jessica!" I heard someone shout. It was so muffled by the noise and the movement in the background that it came out as "Jeska" so at first I didn't notice the obnoxious voice calling my name. But as the voice got closer I turned around to give it attention.

"Hey babe" a male voice whispered into my ear. I could feel the mystery man's hot breath on my shoulder, and moved away to avoid his touch.

"What the fuck?!" I said, stepping back.

"What's wrong honey" he asked, stumbling closer, his drunken state drawing out the word. In the dim, reddish light of the club I could only see a bit of his features. He was tall, lanky, and had dark brown disheveled looking hair. I wondered how long it had been since he washed it.

"Go away" I replied, shifting through people to move further away from him. I had literally never seen this man before. It was not an unusual occurrence to be approached like this in a club, at least for me anyway, but that really didn't make it any less disgusting, or creepy. Especially since somehow this dude knew my name.

I decided to let it go for the time being, since I was here to have fun anyway. I came here by myself a lot, to let loose after a long week of work. Ever since I was a girl I had always loved dancing, even though I wasn't the best at it. In the club, it didn't matter if you were good or not. It was really just a huge free for all, which I usually hated since I love order and structure, but here it was oddly comforting.

I moved to the other side of the dance floor, thinking about grabbing myself a drink, when my favorite song came on. It was this jazzed up, pop remix of it, but that was what made it even better. I ditched the drink idea and instead threw my hands up in the air. I only saw a few people around me doing the same, which honestly disappointed me because I adored this song. I mouthed the words as I swayed my hips back and forth. I resisted the urge to shout "baby just say YES" when the bridge came around, and was feeling pretty good just free styling until I felt a sharp jolt in my spine. I felt a presence approaching behind me.

Thinking it was the creepy man again, I tried to purposely get lost in the crowd, hoping he wouldn't follow me, until I heard a female voice shout "wait!".

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around. I looked around for the voice I heard and saw a sight so gorgeous I swear it made my eyes burn - but a good kind of burning, like the burn you feel after you've spent an hour at the gym and you're exhausted but motivated. The woman calling after me was stunning. She had a petite 5'5 frame, but the heels she wore gave her a couple extra inches. She wore a beautiful magenta mini dress with ruffled sleeves and a v-neck. On anyone else it might have looked odd, like they were trying to act younger, but it fit her perfectly. It made her look sort of like a princess. She had light, mid length strawberry blonde hair that was curled near the bottom, light blue eyes, lush pink lips, and an incredible figure. I had to take a moment to catch my breath. I could feel her eyes surveying me, taking me in. I was so nervous to hear her speak.

"Hi. I'm so sorry for bothering you, I'm not usually like that. In fact, I don't even usually go to clubs - loud, noisy, crowded places aren't really up my ally, but sometimes I get tired of the same old thing all the time. Anyway, I just saw you in the crowd and I had to say hello. Your hair looked beautiful. Wait - I'm sorry that's weird. You - I..." she trailed off, seeming nervous. Little did she know, I felt the exact same way.

I laughed, despite my anxious state. "It's alright. I get what you mean. I'm Jessica, and you're beautiful too." I said, extending my hand.

She grasped onto it gratefully, shaking it with a firm grip, but not too hard. Her skin was soft and smooth, and I could smell her perfume - which seemed like it contained rosewater. I loved rosewater - it was flowery, but not too overpowering. Honestly, that's the vibe her personality was giving off so far.
