When Boy Meets Girl

9. Throb

When you start to poundin, love to feel you throbbin' - Janet Jackson (Throb, 1993)

Saturday Sept. 3rd, 1AM

Later that night ...

Strolling in the club around 1AM drunk; it was packed, the music was blaring, and people were everywhere.

Lisa was in awe. The other clubs were cute, but there was something special about this one, but she just couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe it was the neon lights illuminating the space, or the mauve color velvet couches that people we gathered on chatting and laughing. Continuing to follow Janet to the VIP section, Lisa sees disco balls throughout the high ceiling big and small, multiple stages with dancers on top dressed in sequins and rhinestones, while the walls were covered in sexy photography and cds.

Strolling behind them a little too slowly because she was trying to take in the scenery, Janet grabs her hand and says "Come on girl, we are on the second floor."

Making it to VIP, Lisa observes it and comes to the conclusion that the girls must be here every weekend because of the way they were greeted from the entrance to inside the club, the bodyguard did even ID'd them; just welcomed them with hugs and small talk.

Seeing her all of sudden feeling out of place Janet decides to sit with Lisa and ask her what's wrong.

"Hey Lise, you good?" "Yea, I'm okay. I'm just, you know ..."

"Let me guess you're nervous to see Mike huh?"

Bingo! Throwing her head back on the plush sofa, arms crossed, blowing her freshly cut bangs out of her face, while looking at her freshly red manicured nails, Lisa told Janet yes. Not knowing what to really say at the time, Janet simply pulls Lisa off the couch to go get a drink. While walking to the bar, somebody gets Janet's attention and she tells Lisa she'll meet at the bar in a few to talk. Bummed, but also understanding Lisa goes straight to the bar to sort things out herself.

Sitting at the bar, by herself and upset for stressing out all of sudden because she was nervous to see him.

Lisa ends up scanning the bar, needing a drink. She sees this beautiful black woman with long curly hair wearing a pure white jumpsuit that fits her slim body perfectly. She's accessorized with big gold hoop earrings, a small stack of gold bracelets on her left wrist; while having her body chain laying perfectly inside her jumpsuit while the "T" hangs perfectly in the center of her chest.

"Excuse me, Miss?" Lisa yelled over the loud music

"Hey girl! how can I help you?" she said cheerfully. "Um yeah, can I get a shot of tequila and water please?"

The woman looked Lisa up and down, she could tell something was on her mind and said "Just a shot? Bitch are you sure?" Taken aback by her choice of words, but not feeling turned off, Lisa goes ahead and tells her to surprise her. While Lisa waits for her drink from the bartender, she starts scanning the club to see where her girls were. The first one she saw was Kylie downstairs on top of a mini stage dancing freely while she spotted Janet not too far away, but she wasn't dancing, instead she was hugged up with the DJ.

"That must be the guy", Lisa thought to herself.

"Here you go hun?" Snapping her back to her reality after mentally checking in with her friends, Lisa sees a pretty pink drink with foam on top and silver glitter sprinkled on top. "What's this called?" "She's called the Venus fly trap." Laughing at the name, Lisa had shook head because she could tell the woman was proud of her creation. Taking a sip of the pink fruity drink, Lisa gives her a thumbs up approving the drink.
