When I first saw her
She took my breath away.
Her mesmerizing beauty
I couldn't understand.

There she was...
The woman of my dreams,
A sight I couldn't believe.

She had eyes of a color unknown to me
And hair smoother than silk.
My words couldn't describe
The angel I've just seen.

She had a sexy voice
Hard to resist.
And a pair of lips
You just want to kiss.

She's an angel in disguise
She's the queen of my heart.
To her I want to pledge
My entire life.

A woman like her is hard to forget
And that's why I'll always remember
When I first saw her.

Music pounded through my body as sweaty bodies pressed against my own. I was trying to walk through the huge crowd with my right hand locked into Mariah's hand, who was currently leading me towards the direction the man who drove us, pointed out to us a small bar far in the corner. He was still talking to the bouncer who had let us skip the long forbidden line. It was as if he came here often and made friends with the bouncer.

I gave a slight shudder thinking of someone who would actually come here that much. What was the sole purpose of spending your life in a bar full of drunken and mischief humans?

"Two Poison Apples." I could hear Mariah shout to the bartender over the counter who's eyes were set on her breast before looking up and giving her a nod quickly. She noticed not giving a care. I sat down on a bar stool next to Mariah who was currently swaying her hips beside me along with the music.

"We sure did get in here fast. If it wasn't for Mr. Hot stuff, we would be waiting all night just to be able to stand next to the door." Mariah yelled over the music. She turned to face me and noticed my awkwardness as I was trying to keep my dress over my knees.

My dress was not doing a very well of a job at covering my body as I would like it to. Noticing unwanted eyes land on my exposed skin I fought with my dress.

Mariah rolled her eyes, "Let loose!" grabbing my hand once again, she pulled me up to a standing position with my dress smoothly going down to where I wanted it to go.

The bartender gave a shout of her order before sliding the two drinks towards us. I noticed his eyes once again flickered back down at her breast before he landed his eyes towards mine, giving a smirk as he glided his eyes on my own. My cheeks grew hot before I quickly turned around from his view.

"Dirty animals." I mumbled as I watched Mariah take a gulp of her drink before looking at me and shoving the other glass into my hand.

"Drink." she simply ordered. Looking down at the dark liquid that sparkled in the flashing lights I quickly followed her instructions and took a sip. After a small swallow of the liquid, I could already feel the burn of it.

"Burns huh?" she asked while watching my reaction. I nodded trying another sip but not liking the taste of it once again. "That's how it got it's name." she laughed as she noticed my dislike of it. She quickly grabbed it from me and took a gulp, finishing it up for me.
