"I'm not sure if this is really my thing..." I sighed, glancing around the crowd of people, many who were dancing vulgarly.
"Grace, honestly, it's fine!" Lizzie told me, rolling her blue eyes, "You need to chill." It was obvious she was annoyed with my nervous ranting and I understood that, but I wished she could have more patience with me, I mean, I felt uncomfortable, surely she should understand that.
Annoyance at her lack of care flared in me and I tried my hardest not to spit a nasty remark at her, despite the fact that she was one of my best friends, Lizzie had a tendency to become self absorbed and controlling. For some reason, she seemed to always be that way with me the most. I think as a person, I was just an easy target.
Shaking my head, I sighed, "Yeah fine, whatever." I mumbled.
Kara and Alexis exchanged looks, knowing that we bickered easily. Kara stepped in quickly before more could come of it, quickly changing the subject, "Let's get a drink." She suggested, a mischievous smile spreading across her face, a certain glint in her eyes.
Taking my hand firmly in her own, she tugged me off through the crowd and towards the bar, weaving through the crowd expertly, she pulled me through the prying hands much more easily than I could have done alone. I pulled myself onto a bar stool as she did the same, looking around at the mass of people gathered around here.
"Grace," She looked at me, getting my attention, "Don't let her get to you. You know how she is sometimes."
I sighed, looking down at my hands, "I know... but I just wish she could be more understanding."
"She's just trying to get you to loosen up and have fun. We've all been worried about you lately.." She sighed, "And it's just taken a toll on her."
I felt guilt swell up, I hadn't been myself lately, and that was clear to everyone, stress was getting to me, and I'd been in a sort of funk, but I didn't mean to drag my friends down with me. "I know..."
"Don't worry about it now", she told me, her long curls flying around her head as she shook it, "That's why we're here!" She smiled, "Just let loose."
A smile made its way onto my face, "You're right." I nodded, just as the bartender made his way over.
I couldn't help but slowly trail my eyes up and down his body, tall and built, muscles rippling through his shirt, I shook my head quickly, stopping the fantasies that had started playing in my mind, forcing my gaze up to his brown eyes which were glinting in amusement. I felt my cheeks heat up as I realized he had seen me checking him out.
Kara rolled her eyes at me, not even bothering to be quiet as she scolded me, "It's not like you were being very subtle."
I shot her a look as the guy in front of us laughed quietly, "What'll it be ladies?"
"We'll have two shots of orgasms." Kara smirked, bravely ordering the drink.
I felt the blush in my already red cheeks grow at her words. The bartender chuckled, "Coming right up."
As he started to make the drink, he smiled over at us, "What are you two ladies doing here alone?"
"Just a girls night out." Kara replied smoothly, grinning at him with a flirty smile.
He smirked as he placed the two shots in front of us, his hand brushing against mine as he pulled back, his brown eyes burning into my own, "Enjoy your...drinks."
Kara quickly downed into, throwing her head back, and placed it back down on the bar in front of her, I started to lift my glass from the table in front of me, but a strong hand clamped down on my own, holding it in place and keeping the shot firmly down on the table.
