Captivated

Chapter Seven

The music was loud echoing out onto the street where a long line moved down the block and around the corner. The girl at the shop had been right, this event was obviously something that everyone looked forward to. I scanned the line as we walked from the spot that the cabbie had generously dropped us off; closer to the end of the line than to the actual doors. Young men and women were dressed similar to us with their hair and makeup all done up so impeccably. I couldn't help but laugh. I had deliberately chosen not to wear a lot of makeup, the club was bound to be packed and with that many people, there was bound to be a lot of sweating which in turn would make anyone's makeup run right off their face. I'd chosen waterproof mascara, a very light shimmering eyeshadow and a light pink lip stain that would be impossible to rub off even if I tried. Some people just didn't think a head.

"Wow look at the crowd" Lacey said her excitement bubbling up as we approached the bouncer. I smiled up at him batting my eyelashes for effect as we came to stop at the entrance; which was convienetly blocked off by some bars and a fancy red rope. The dress Lacey had chosen was a tight fitting strappy dress that hugged her bust so tightly that it caused her breast to push up around the top. It reminded me of an old style corset, the way get breasts were pushed up. The rest of the dress hugged her curves just as nicely ending above her knees, it's pale blue color complementing her skin in a perfect way. She'd styled her hair and it hung in flawless black spikes adorned with streaks of temporary blue dye running through it.

"What can I do for you ladies" he asked his voice deep sounding exactly as he looked. There were four bouncers manning the front door, all large probably about six foot and looked like they could bench press five of me without even breaking a sweat. They kind of reminded me of wrestlers or mercenaries or something.

"We were given these passes and told to come to the front door when we got here" Lacey smiled. She was an unbelievable woman, her personality full of unattainable allure, the kind that made even the best men swoon. She got closer to him showing him our passes. He took the passes out of her hand and looked them over before taking a hole punch out and clipping a small hole in the corner or both tickets before handing them back to her.

"You ladies have a good evening" he said with a small smile lifting the rope to let us pass into the doors. I nodded my thanks following Lacey through the door, the music getting immensely louder as we made our way into the entrance. I looked around the hallway that lead toward the inner section of the club, the hallway was long with entrances to bathrooms on either side and a podium just inside were a woman stood. She was pretty, her blonde hair glowing under the black lights that shone down from above. She was in a shimmering outfit that clung tightly to her chest and showed off her midriff followed by form fitting pants. Both garments adorned the clubs name "Black's" in white rhinestones that easily caught the light.

"Welcome to Black's Glow Party" she said in a singsong voice with a wide smile. "Hands please" she asked. Lacey held hers out and watched as the girl placed a stamp on the top of her hand in ink that glowed under the black light. She stamped my hand as well before handing us both a glowing bracelet that changed colors; the kind you would find at a teenagers dance and a simple string necklace with an easy clip to be undo and done back up with ease. "At the beginning of the event all guests are given one color item, there is a prize for the person at the end of the night who has gathered the most 'glowing' items from people around the club. You can choose to participate or not to but I can promise that the prize is well worth it. Enjoy yourselves" she waved us on with a smile and turned her attention back to the door where guests were coming in. I smiled and followed Lacey down the hallway towards the large archway that opened up into the rest of the club.

The space was massive. A large bar ran the length of the one side of the bar it's curved design making it easy for staff to move behind it and adding to the modern feel that I could already sense. There were beautiful pocket lights above the bar that changed color every minute or so casting a glow over everything. The center of the club had a sunken dance floor that could easily fit a couple hundred people with color changing floor panels that were creating an energetic feel as people dance on the floor, already packed with guests. Around the edges of the bar were various leather booths and fine tables with people siting around mingling over the music. To the far corner was a stage that was currently occupied by a group of scantily clad female dancers in differently colored outfits moving with choreographed fineness catching many men's attention. I smiled to myself taking a deep breath, it was huge. I hadn't been in a bar this sized ever before in my life; it was a lot to take in. I glanced up taking in the second floor balcony that wrapped around the entire club and an obvious VIP section that was in the farthest corner of the club. I could vaguely see rod rope similar to the ones outside cordoning off the area and people sitting at the huge couch drinking their drinks and talking.
