It would end my streak of not clubbing and fucking with random guys today.
It had been three long years since I last went clubbing, and those years got filled with self-imposed restrictions and a vow to stay away from the toxic cycle I had once been a part of. But tonight, everything felt different, and the temptation to break my streak was overwhelming.
It wasn't just about going out and having fun anymore. No, it was about escaping the constant thoughts of Alexander that had plagued me since he reappeared in my life.
He seemed to have resided in my head, dominating my thoughts day and night. He stayed a dark and magnetic presence that refused to get ignored, no matter how much I tried to push him away.

The club was alive with throbbing music that resonated off the walls and into my chest. A kaleidoscope of bright lights danced over the dimly lit room, casting shadows that swayed in time with the music. The air was thick with perfumes, sweat, and the promise of unbridled fun.
On the dance floor, bodies moved in unison, their movements smooth and carefree. Strangers became friends as they laughed and swayed together, unified by the night's enticing energy. The music's bass vibrated through the floor, stimulating the atmosphere with a palpable buzz.
