'Yaar, Elham not here' I protest as she held my hand and is trying to drag me into a night club. We have had our dinner; I had suggested of going back to the room but Elham said she has a surprise for me. I was excited and nodded my head not knowing where she is taking me. I am shocked standing in front Bangkok's most famous night club. Elham pouts and blinks her eyes, silently pleading me to come with her. I shake my head sideways standing my ground.
But eventually I sigh in defeat and nod. Inside the club, the entire ambience is really loud. Unlike clubs at California, here the place is more crowded with loud blazing music. Neon lights lighting the otherwise dark club. I feel strange while Elham is all loose and enjoying herself. I tried to smile. She goes to the bar counter and I follow, there are so many couples here. Sticking to each other, enjoying their drinks, dancing with their partners.
Elham orders her drink and asks me if I will have anything. She chuckles when I order soft drink.
'Dude, Dhoodh piyega!' she teases me placing her arms on the counter. I look at her offended, I am no Dhoodh pita bacha. She then triggers my ego, for the first time in my life I ordered myself a drink, the strongest one, just to prove to her that I too can drink.
She watched me in awe as I gulped my drink in one breath. Damn! It tasted so bitter, bad idea! I choked on my drink. Elham giggled and I frown ordering more.
'Fatto! Ho gaya, you shouldn't be drinking so much' she says worried as I gulped down my third glass.
I felt strange warmth now that I have tasted alcohol.
'I am not a Fatto!' I slur taking another drink down, I turned to order more when she held my hand and asked the bar tender to leave. I jerked my hand from hers and relaxed on my seat. She shakes her head and asks me to sit here while she pays.
I look ahead at the crowd, at happy much-in-love couples dancing with each other. That is when I spot "her". She is standing in the corner looking at me, I stand on my feet and with my wobbling legs I walk towards her. Even in this crowded place all I can see is her, dressed in red glittering knee length dress she looks divine. Her blonde shoulder length hair open and resting on her shoulder, I look at her long slender legs and smile dreamily.
'Racheal' I say walking towards her, I don't care how many people I hit on the way or the curses they are throwing at me. I can see only my Racheal.
I come close to her, she shifts in her place and smiles. I held her face with my palms and smile back at her.
'I miss you so much' I say and kissed her forehead. She smiles and looks at me, her green orbs stare back into mine. I am bowled over. She wraps her arms around me
'I love you' she confesses kissing my cheek. I blush. Gosh! I missed her so much. I missed this touch, this warmth and this feel of her lips on mine. I close my eyes and lean in kissing her passionately.
'Idoit!' I hear Elham's voice, I am jolted from my trance and find myself kissing a pillar. Elham looks at me embarrassed, I look away.
'Argh...' I felt a sharp throbbing pain in my head. Damn! I shouldn't have drunk so much of alcohol. I sit up on the bed massaging my head. Strangely I felt cold. I opened my eyes and gasps on finding my shirt missing. I gulped and peeked into blanket and am relieved find my boxers on. I turn my gaze around and find my clothes piled up at the edge of the bed along with Elham's. I panicked. Slowly I turn my head and find Elham sleeping next to me, her back facing me. I gasp louder when I see her bare shoulder peeking from inside the blanket.
Oh no! Did we do what I think we did, the current condition seems to point that. Shit! Shit! This isn't happening, this can't happen. I can't loose my virginity like this, but more than that I am ashamed thinking about Elham. Shit! What will she think of me when she wakes up? She will eat me alive.
