Lily!" I called out, my voice rising an octave in pure agitation. Peter smirked from beside me as Lily ran all the way downstairs, "What took you so long?"
"Sorry, I had to shower."
"For forty-five minutes?" I queried, earning a glare in response.
"Let's go." She murmured, her eyes skimming over my outfit. "No!" She yelled, her eyes dramatically widening.
"No?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Lily reached up and unclasped my hair from the silver slide. "Now we can go." She cheerfully said.
"Lily!" I exclaimed.
"What? I know you well enough to know that you won't put on a dress." Her eyes trailed over my jet black skinny jeans, loose white blouse and black wedge boots.
"At least grant me this?" She pouted, her eyes widening for effect. Heavily sighing I nodded my head as she excitedly dragged me out of the house.
The car thrummed to life beneath Peter's fingertips as he accelerated towards the club. Our favorite club.
********************
The loud music thrums through my body, sending a feeling of excitement and enthrallment all the way down to the tips of my toes.
"Sarah!" Lily yells at the top of her lungs as I stride towards the dance floor.
"I'm going to dance." I yell back.
My eyes trail over a tall man, his muscles bulge beneath his sweater, "Derek." I breathe, lunging myself into him.
His arms wrap tightly around my body, enveloping me in a cocoon of warmth.
"Ready?" He queries, his voice smoothly washing over me.
Smiling brightly I nod my head, twisting me around Derek pulls me towards his warm, sweaty body.
His lips cooly trails towards my ear, "So, just how much have you missed me."
"Not that much..." I tease, as Derek and I sway to the beat of the music.
"I've missed you." He says.
"I've missed you too but we can't..."
Derek tightens his grips on me and I relish in the protection that he emanates.
"Let's get a drink." Grabbing his hand I pull him towards the open bar.
The bartender smirks as I approach him, "Two vodkas." Derek orders, causing the bartenders smirk to waver, Ted. I read off of his name tag.
The waiter nods his head, reaching down he grabs a bottle of vodka and expertly pours it into our shot glasses in a matter of seconds. "Enjoy." He says, smirking yet again.
Narrowing my eyes I down the shot, "One more." I order.
"Slow down." Derek teasingly warns.
Grabbing his hand, I drag him out to the center of the dance floor. My body sways to the pounding beat of the music. The loud music drowns out my thoughts, allowing me to be free.
Lifting my arms above my head I start swaying my body dangerously close to Derek's.
Derek's huge hands wraps themselves around my waist as I rhythmically sway. My eyes trail over the masses of bodies, widening as they set their sights on a certain someone.
"I have to go!" I yell into Derek's ear a short while later. Stumbling off into the darkness of sweaty bodies I begin to shoulder my way towards the distant exit.
A pair of smoldering eyes captures my attention, strong shoulders push their way towards me, leaning down he whispers, "Follow me."
My heart skips a beat or two as I stumble into him, causing his hands to grasp hold of me.
The cool air elegantly smacks me in the face as we step out of the club.
My head aches slightly and my body continuously sways.
The world dangerously drifting in and out of focus.
