Intoxication - a state of mind that overpowers one's control from seeing the good from bad, the pure from evil, love from hatred.
Two people both suffering in opposite ways, yet both dealing in sync - the road to proximity and happiness takes time...
"I KNOW THAT LIFE MOVES TO QUICK FOR YA SOMETIMES, WE SHOULD PULL UP TO THE KICK-BACK, SMOKE ONE WITH ME ONE TIMEEE" I scream the lyrics to Chris Brown's song through the car speakers, Louis joining me.
"TELL ME 'BOUT ALL THE FREAKY SECRETS, ALL THEM TROUBLES YOU GOT ON YOUR MIND" oh bro I have a lot of chris brown related troubles going on in my mind.
"We need to go see him in concert" I say looking over to the passenger seat, Lou's staring at his phone.
"You've been saying that for years" he replies, rolling his eyes.
"I know but for real this time, need to meet the man of my dreams" I answer, placing my hand on my heart.
"Are we almost there?" he asks completely changing the subject.
"Yeah like 15 minutes" I roll my eyes at his child like behaviour concentrating back on the road.
Once we arrive we are met with a mass of very fancy sports cars which makes my mini cooper look like a tin can. ah what can you do.
"Wow" louis mumbles looking up at his surroundings
"You read my mind" we jump out the car making me immediately regret not wearing trousers, it's damn cold tonight.

I link arms with louis as we walk up to the front door, this is so intimidating.
"Where do we even go?" I ask, not really knowing who it was directed for.
"There's Hughes" Louis says pointing to the suited man in the corner of the room. I smile feeling calmed by his presence.
"Should we go over to him?" I ask grabbing a glass of champaign from the table.
"Yeah" louis answers, following in suit as he grabs a glass.
"Olivia! Nice of you to join us" Hughes says pulling me in for a hug "Louis you to" he finishes shaking his hand.
I try to hold my laughter in - if it's on thing lou hates is shaking people's hands in formal situations.
"I would like to introduce you to some people, I played your tape earlier, you're the top of people's interests tonight hun" he says, making me grin.
"Follow me" he takes my hand in his arm as we walk further into the room.
I turn to look at a stranded louis, he flips me off laughing - I'm guessing he will find someone to annoy or flirt with.
•••••••••
A few hours pass all consisting of talking to many companies - most of them basically offering the same thing.
"You really fit into this crowd Liv" Hughes says, leaning back against the bar "I mean you have so many opportunities here for you to start your own dance program, shit even your own business. You've got the looks, the voice, the willpower, knowledge - girl you got it all" I laugh at his words, his right I have everything that I need to follow my dreams. I just need to take the step.
