Megan

We order our drinks - two tequilas and laugh at the story Sam just told me. "So you seriously made him pay your cab and at your door you said you had a boyfriend", I laugh. "And I don't even have one!" Sam adds and chuckles. The barman gives us our tequilas and I give him the money. We count to three and drink the glasses empty. "Why are we drinking this? This is terrible!", Sam shouts at me over the loud music. I look a little offended. "Cause this is good!" I explain and order one more.

Suddenly a band comes up on the stage right in front of us and starts to play Rebel Girl. "Sam, this is our song, remember?" Sam focuses on the music and listens to the first words and then shouts: "You're right! But these aren't Bikini Kill?" I laugh at her and drink the other tequila. The alcohol is burning in my throat and my eyes get wet.

After the band gets off the stage, I feel I'm a bit drunk. I mean, I can take care of myself and I'm not going to vomit like Sam is probably already doing, but I feel a bit dizzy in my head and then i get this crazy idea when I see the band coming to my way. 

They walk right next to me and order drinks. Well three of them, the last one, the drummer if I remember right takes nothing. A few minutes pass and all of them go to dance but the drummer stays next to me. "I've always had a thing for drummers you know?", I blurt at him.

He turns around to look at me. He's so tall and he looks a bit amused. His blue eyes travel from my head to feet and he replies: "Then I might have no chance. I play guitar."

I start to laugh and i feel so stupid. "Just play along, so I don't have to be shamed, okay?", I suggest and look at his face more focused. His eyes are beautiful blue, not like ocean or anything cliche shit like that, those eyes are more like pastel blue. He grins and starts: "Okay, well what's your name?".

"What fun would this be if I told you already?", I tease. He laughs a little and looks for his friends. No, don't go yet. Please don't. I slip the first words that are on my tongue: "Wish I might find my one true love tonight, do you think that, he could be you?" 

Note. I'll never listen to Lana Del Rey again. Never.

His face turns immediately towards mine and he laughs: "Is that Lana Del Rey?" What the fuck did I just say. "Mmmaybe", I say on a teasing voice and continue: "You could always buy me a drink, you know that?"

He stayed. Thank you Lana Del Rey.

"I think you've had one too much ms. mystery girl", he points out and gives me a smile. I don't wanna seem like a drunk idiot. Wait. I'm drunk and I just quoted Lana Del Rey. I might be a drunk idiot.

"Okay so, for how long have you played drums?" First he looks confused but then he remembers how he promised to play along. "Since I was 10, I prefer guitar more to be honest."

"Of course you do"

"So you said you had a thing for drummers, or did I hear wrong?", he teases. He seems so funny, and I have no idea why he's still with me. 

"I don't even know your name, you stranger", I tell him.

"Says a girl who just quoted Lana Del Rey at me after knowing for like 5 minutes", He laughs. "But my name is Luke", he reaches his hand towards me and I shake his hand. It feels so big and warm against mine.

"Nice to meet you Luke. Maybe now I might have something for you", i start and start slowly leaning towards him.

"Oh really?" He acts surprised and leans just a bit towards me, so there's only a few inches between our faces. I look at his lips and slowly grab a hold of his neck to get him closer and open my mouth slowly to kiss him. He responses to the kiss - which I didn't expect - and his hands take a light hold of my cheeks. First the kiss is slow and very simple, but then I slide my right hand to get a hold of his hair and deepen the kiss. 

It effects Luke and in my mind I'm screaming. He's such a good kisser. He knows exactly how to use his tongue. I take his lower lip softly between my teeth and after that I kiss the spot where my teeth were. "Megan, I thin- Oh shit I'm sorry!" I hear someone screaming next to me and it cuts off our kiss. It's Sam. I cover my face on my hands and realize I was here with her, not with him.

"Okay I think I need to go though", I start and go and follow Sam.

"Megan!" Luke shouts and I freeze for a moment and turn around.

"It was Megan right? Just uhm, could you give me your number, so we could meet again?" I swallow and come closer. "Uhm okay just give me your phone?" Luke handles me his phone and I quickly write my number on it. "Okay, bye Luke I really need to go now", I try to explain and handle his phone back.

"Just one more thing", Luke says and before I understand his hands are on my waist and he pulls me close to him. I feel an urgent need to kiss him, but before I get the chance, he's already kissing me. The kiss lasts for like 2 seconds - which is too little - and then he lets go off me. I quickly try to get myself going and even though I want to look back at him, I won't.

"He looked so good!" Sam screams when we get outside. I try to taste his taste on my lips and answer: "I know".
