Broken Rules

Friendship Rules: Don't Stalk

(19) Carolyn Grandfield

12 O'clock, the car clock showed us as we  drove downtown, open window as we looked outside, our bodies practically out of the car as we stared at the billboards and the lighten up buildings as we drove by. Hands open and tongue out, eyes closed as I savored the soft wind of Neville.

"It's not a lot that you've been saying, whoa. But I can tell from your body language. Let's talk about it ('bout it) Is you 'bout it? Let's talk about it. Can we talk about it? You ain't gotta say too much. Ain't gotta say too much. I can read your body language. You ain't gotta say too much. I can read your body language."

The town was filled with people ready for the night life, clubs filled on the entrance, a line that turns over the corners. Couples wandering around, holding hands, running around and kissing. It was actually cute.

"Said you ain't gotta say too much. Hate when you say that I play too much. When I get too close I'm a touch that subject I can read your body, nuff said. Quit all that yappin' Meet let's talk and a little more action (Yeah) Now girl keep it G, know you speak a little freak I can hear it in yo' accent. So tell me, can you understand my language? If you tryna ride, just stay in my lane It's no other way to explain it. A lame in, fuck, who you came with (eghh)."

"Turn up the volume!" I shouted through the air, squealing when Lara yanked me down in the car. "What was that? I was having fun!" I pouted at her and crossed my arms. "Let's do bar hopping? The night is still young."

"Who's staying sober?" We all looked at each other and burst out laughing. "Nah." We laughed out loud again, clutching at our stomachs with tears in our eyes. Oh my god, I never had so much fun in my entire life.

Camilla drove us to the first bar, it was filled with men with strange mustache that drives Harleys yikes. We walked inside and went to the bar, ordering a round of tequila, circling around to take the shot. "One, two..." At three we tossed our heads back as we gulped down the strong alcohol and made a face at how strong it was.

We put our glasses on the counter and ordered another round. We grunted loudly and slammed the glass on the counter, feeling the heat cursing through our throats. "That was amazing." We stayed for a bit and paid for our drinks before making our way out.

We hopped in and hit the road again, buildings lighting up the city as we drove to some unknown location. We stopped in front of a bar, this time the bar was filled with drunkers, tables filled with empty beer and whiskey bottles.

"I think we should leave." I pointed behind me at the car and they didn't think twice before agreeing with me. We hopped back in the car and hit the road again, it was around 2 O'clock when we bumped into a bar, filled with men and girls in tiny short shorts. What was this place? The men were fondling their asses as they giggled, flirting with the men.

Wow, I can't believe that there are still men and women like this. Unbelievable. We only came for drinks so that's what we're going to have. We hopped out of the car and walked toward the bar, the men looking up at us like we were fresh meats. '

I held tight on my purse as we made our away inside and went to the bar. "Goodnight pretty ladies, want something to drink?" The bartender asked as he stared at us for an answer.
