Hands To Myself (norminah)

1

Can't keep my hands to myself.

No matter how hard I'm trying to

I want you all to myself.

Your metaphorical gin and juice.

"Speaking of gin and juice, Ally could you mix me another drink?"

"Sure thing girly one second." The bartender said before she turned around and grabbed two bottles of liquid from the shelf, checking the labels to assure that one said "Vodka" and the other said "Pineapple Juice". She mixed the two drinks together then poured the combination into a small glass before turning around and sliding it over to the blonde haired Polynesian girl that was sat on the bar stool in front of her. "You know Ally, I remember when we first came to this club, feels like ages ago that I'd just turned 21, and We both got up on that stage down there and sang our hearts out to Rihanna." The majestic 23-year-old reminisced while shooting down the drink like it was apple juice.

"Yeah and look at ya now! Chart topper, performing in sold out arenas, platinum album, you're living the dream, and I couldn't be happier for you girl!" Ally squealed before giving her best friend an appreciative hand on the shoulder.

"I'm actually pretty surprised that I haven't been bombarded with fans just yet, finally for once they're letting me enjoy myself in peace." Dinah said before sliding the small glass down to the center of the bar with her 2 previous ones.

Regardless of how it may seem, Dinah Jane isn't reminiscing on her life because her new one's over, she's reminiscing because things are actually beginning to change. She loves her life and enjoys every single bit of it but as soon as she learned that her longtime friend Lauren would be moving away from California to France, everything kind of all took an unexpected turn. Dinah, Ally, and Lauren all had been very close, Lauren and Dinah specifically since their high school days and Ally since childhood. So when Dinah learned that Lauren was leaving her to go on an exploration to do some research, art, and photography in Paris, she was happy for her opportunity, but not so happy that she'd be left without one of her close friends.

The club was illuminated with bright blue and green lights shining all over the place, the dance floor was packed with hundreds of clubbers and Dinah looked down at them from the upper VIP third floor top balcony.

"You know a few years ago I would've never dreamed of even being allowed into this portion of the club." Dinah said while playing with her fingers. Ally looked at her sympathetically, she could tell that her friend was definitely hurting, she could tell that Dinah wasn't her usually cheery and playful self. "Get up Dj, go down to the dance floor, have some fun, make out with someone, I'm tired of standing here watching you sulk in vodka shots reminiscing on old times when you're living the fucking dream right now." Ally came around the side of the bar and physically pulled Dinah up out of her seat because she knew that the tall girl wouldn't get up herself.

"Okay okay okay" Dinah said wiggling her arm free of the extremely short but strong girl's grip. "I'm just warning you that I'm feeling a little happy right now, so if I come back with a hickey on my neck I expect not to be held accountable."

Dinah walked over to the VIP dance floor that was filled with other artists, models, dancers, musicians, rappers, you name it and guarantee at least one person that fit the category was there. She didn't recognize many of them, except one chocolate skinned girl whose beautiful melanin Dinah could spot from a mile away, she was wearing a short tight fitting short sleeved v-neck red dress with black Louis Vuitton pumps and a black cross that could be seen around her neck no matter what outfit she was wearing, maybe it was a family heirloom.

Dinah went towards the middle of the floor where the girl was dancing with a very tall caramel skinned girl whom Dinah soon realized was the world renowned model Zendaya. "Hey!" Dinah greeted them and without a single word the dark chocolate model turned around and enveloped Dinah in a huge embrace which was almost immediately reciprocated by the slightly taller girl. "Hey Mani manz it's been a minute!"
