The three shots I downed are making me feel good. When we get to the dance floor something is bumping through the speakers that I can dance to. I start grinding my hips on Tasha. I work my body to the beat of the music. Tasha looks at me in surprise. Girl where'd you learn to get down like that? I just smile and laugh at her. I continue to dance well into the next song. After that song goes of I'm exhausted and sweaty. I grab Tasha's arm and head back to our section to cool down. When I get back I down two more shots. At this point I'm at my drinking limit and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I tell Tash that I'm going to use the bathroom and I will be right back. She asks me do I need her to come and I say no. On my way to the bathroom I had to walk through the crowded club bumping and pushing people out of my way. I finally reach the bathroom and Sigh a sigh of relief. I push the door open and I am actually surprised, it's nice and it doesn't smell bad! I make my way over to the sink and splash water on my face. This makes me feel a little more alert and less tipsy. As I'm dabbing my face dry some dyke is coming out of a stall. She smiles at me with a toothy grin. She walks up to the sink next to me and begin washing her hands. Wassup Ma she says. First of I'm not a Ma and second off I don't dig females. You never know until you try it. I laugh at her and walk towards the exit. On my way out the door I get a text from Wilma and I open and read it while leaving the bathroom. Looking down at my phone I'm not paying attention and I bump into someone. I'm just about to go off when I look up and freeze. It's the guy that Tasha pointed out to me on the dance floor. He is so handsome up close that I'm lost for words. He is just staring at me with a grin on his face. I finally mange an excuse me and continue to walk again. He says no excuse me and he pauses I never got your name. My name is Precious I say in almost a whisper. He smiles at my shyness and he introduces himself as Derek. He extends his hand for me to shake it and I do. I proceed to walk away again and he then asks me why am I in such a rush to walk away. That's when I notice he's coming onto me and my heart starts beating a thousand beats a minute. He chuckles a bit when he sees that I finally realized what he was doing. You didn't bump into me by an accident you wanted to bump into me I say smiling. He claps his hands. I saw you dancing on the dance floor and I wanted to know if I could get a dance. I blush so hard and I'm stuck again. I can't really dance Derek I was just fooling around with my friend. That's not what it looked like to me, he grabs my arm gently and we walk towards the dance floor. I didn't notice the bodyguards that was with him until then. I whisper to Derek, you must be important. He gets the joke and just smile. When we hit the dance floor a nice smooth hip-hop track is on that I can dance too. We start dancing and automatically we are in tune with one another. I know I'm a good dancer but he was great. He matched my moves step for step. When the song finally ended he motioned for us to go upstairs to his section, I was about to object and tell him about my friends when I looked over there and they were waving for me to go up. I smiled at them nervously. When we got to his section it was much quieter. We could use a normal tone of voice. So Precious what brung you here tonight? My friend's brung me out to celebrate my birthday. Oh so its your birthday? Well it was my birthday but it's after 12 now I say with a smile. How old did you turn? I glance out him to see if he's really looking for conversation or if he's just bullshitting me. I see sincerity in his face so I say 21. He smiles coyly. What you smiling for? You want the truth? Yes please that'd be nice! Ok Precious, I'm glad your of age because I'm really feeling you and I would like to get to know you. I smile, oh really? You don't even know me to be feeling me. He smirks I like what I see. From this we exchange a little bit about ourselves. I told him that I'm 21 and that I attend the University of Miami and that I will be graduating in two weeks earning my bachelors in science. He smiles hard as this. A beautiful smart young women. I blush, ok enough about me I want to know about you Derek. He tells me that he's 28 single with no kids s d that he's a business owner. Oh a handsome successful old man. He laughs at my comment. So what did you do for your birthday Tasha? Umm nothing really just came here. As I mentioned I'm not from here so I was waiting until my best friend came down for my graduation! Aww man that sounds boring. It's your 21st birthday your supposed to go all out. I chuckle, not everyone is a successful business owner. He catches my sarcasm and winks at me. Just as he was about to talk to me a guy I assume that works at the club rushes up to him and tells him they need to discuss something important. Hey Tasha let me go see what he wants I will be back shortly ok? I give him my puppy dog eyes and say ok. He mentions how beautiful I am while walking away. I've been waiting for Derek for over twenty minutes and he haven't returned. Tasha calls me and tells me that they are ready to go. I say ok and get up to head downstairs. I walk over to Derek's bodyguard and tell him to tell Derek that I left and I'm sorry that I couldn't wait for him any longer. He nods his head. I meat back up with Tash and the girls and we leave the club. When we get back in the limo the girls attack me with questions. Omg how was he, is he cute up close? Is he nice? What was you guys talking about? I laugh relax y'all. We just told each other a little about ourselves. Did you get his number? Sadly no Tash said y'all were ready to go and he was handling business so I left. He was really nice too bad that I didn't get his number! I prolly won't ever see him again. They all just stare at me. Bitch that was Derek Love and you talking like he was a regular nigga. I guess I should have waited for his number the way you bitches is acting. We all laugh in unison. We all recap our night as we head back to campus.
