Stay

The Party

Charlotte

The thumping music that is way too loud fills my ears by the second I step my foot into this club. The club is dark, and sticky and it's already filled with so many people. Mostly people in here is drunk or faking their drunk. Some of them is dancing with a very awkward moves. I see a couple just making out in the booth. Oh, there's another one in the dance floor.

"Hey!" I snap. Someone just bumped into me and I believe he's drunk.

The air that I breathe is not really clear. The smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and cheap perfumes fill my nostrils. I don't know why I come to this club at the first place. Oh, yeah! April made me do it. She also asked Adam to come.

This black dress is too tight and too revealing. April made me wear it.Again, she's the mastermind. "You look like a high class slut!" She said and I didn't know what's in my mind or what kind of black magic that she used on me so I agreed to go out with this dress.

"Just have fun. Don't be too stiff, loosen up a little bit. He'll come." April convinces me. Her voice is loud in my ear. "And don't drink too much."

"I'm not drinking anything," I say speaking as loud as her.

The idea to go to this club was came from the congratulations letter. It was my letter from my ballet club, saying that I was one of the best ballerina. Then, she wanted to celebrate it by going to the club and asking Adam to come. 

"What can I do for you, beautiful ladies ?" The bartender asks us when we take a seat in front of him. 

"2 shots for starter, please." April answers. It only takes a couple of minute for the bartender to give us a yellow liquid. "To one of the best ballerina in Cambridge." She raises her alcohol high, waiting for me to do the same. 

I hesitate at first, but then I take the glass and toast it. The yellow liquid burns my throat once I sipped it. I can feel my body started to get warmer. I'm not usually drink alcohol, really. I just drink when I really want to or if I'm in a fucked-up situation. "Another!" April yells.

"No. I'm good." I add. 

"I don't take no as an answer, Swansea." She says. "You drink it with me, right the fuck now."

April doesn't stop right there after she gave me another shots. It's my third glass of shot and I can feel that good buzz inside of me and I'm ready to hit the dance floor.

"Adam!" April calls. "Over here." She stands up from her chair and waves. I try not to look at his direction. I'm trying to play it cool. But when he shows up, I lose it all. He looks really sexy in a black shirt, black jeans, and a converse. 

"You come !" I say, pretending to be surprised. "You look too... presentable." I don't know what I do, but I'm leaning closer to him and undo two of his buttons. "There you go." I place my hands on his chest. There is a moment of silence and I feel some kind of weird stream is going on between us.

"Do you want to dance ?" He asks me. I look at April first before answering.

"Go!" April answers it for me. "But Adam, take some of the shot." April hands him glass of shot before we leave. "One more ?" It seems like April has an endless shots and Adam takes it anyway.

I don't realise that I've been watching him drinking those nasty drinks. I like the way he quivers when the liquid goes down his throat. It's hot.

"Come on," April takes my hand and drags me to the dance floor as I take Adams.

April is right. I really need to loosen up a little bit. I'm starting to get sweaty but I don't care. I enjoy my time tonight and I don't even think about almost anything. Tonight is when I decide to let ago. Let my worries, my pain, and sorrow go. Right here, right now I am living. Nothing else seems to matter anymore.

I allow him to take me anywhere he pleases on this dance floor. He goes right, I go right. I literally don't care. We are moving in sync. At first, I know that he is alert and aware. But when I start to touch his body and let him touch mine, our dance is heated and the warmth between us grows more powerful by the second.

Adam's touch is soft and gentle. I like the way his hands grab my body and pulls me closer to him. Everything from our breathing to how our bodies move stay in sync. Our dance starts to get naughtier. It never crosses my mind that I can do things like this.

I wrap my arms around Adam's neck, now we are face to face. Even in this dimmed lights, he looks extremely handsome. There is another moment of silence and I notice that Adam is staring at me just the way I stare at him. I'm unable to look away from his eyes.

Like most girls in Cambridge, I have admired this good-looking-doctor-to-be. His muscular body, brown eyes, especially his brown hair that looks brighter under the sun. But being this close to him, I can't help but notice how lush his lips look. I let my gaze slips lower to his lips. When I look into his eyes once again, his expression is intense. 

Adam leans in and covers my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. I classify myself as a bad kisser, but I definitely  know how to respond and it's surprising myself. The taste of his mouth drives me crazy. His mouth is so warm, the movements of his lips are softer than I can have imagined. 

I pull apart from him and both of us take a shaky, shallow breaths. We stare into each others eyes. His eyes are full of passion and wonder.  Adam holds my head in his hands and pulls me into a lustful, passionate kiss. My hands travel their way around his body. His hands also move up and down my body. He lands a gentle kisses on my neck, making me jolt in pleasure. I let out a little whimpers, then he works his way back to my lips. 

We pull apart again and everything is getting more intense. 

"Do you want to go to my place?" He asks. His eyes are now full of lust.

"Yes." I answer. No second thoughts. I look around to find April. But she's nowhere to be seen. I'll send her a message. I say to myself. 

I leave the club immediately with Adam's hand in mine.
