Strangers We Meet (Part II)

It’s been 2 months since I’ve met Lauren at the pub. I go there almost every weekend and meet up with her. Our ‘friendship’ if that’s what it is, has been going slow. She didn’t ask for my number and I’m too shy of a person to hand it to her. We decided to keep it random, if I happen to go there and she happens to be there we would talk; which usually is the case. We would talk about everything and nothing; from university to food to friends to daily life activities. Sometimes her friends, Alexa and Veronica, would join us and we’d play games or just joke around. Every week has been the same, Lauren dirty dances with a few guys and girls, flirts around the pub, then makes her way over to me and dominates my mind. It’s surprising how she could control me with just her beautiful green eyes.

I woke up today feeling like every Saturday, excited and nervous. I got dressed and finished up all my work. By the time it got dark outside I got dressed in my skinny jeans and a pink tank top, since it was hot outside. I left for the pub and sat on my usual seat at the counter. I was greeted by Mr. Ferrer and he got me my usual drink, beer. Just on time Lauren walks in and is greeted by a group of guys. I watch as she moves around them so easily and flirts now and then. If it’s one thing I learnt about Lauren, was that she was a dangerous girl. Not in the sense of a gangster up to no good kind of girl, well depends on how you consider up to no good as. She was a badass and everyone could easily tell. She was confident, feisty, knows what she wants, and gets exactly what she wants most of the time…well..all the time. Her crazy sex appeal was to die for, and not to mention her intelligence.

My eyes moved along to the dance floor where Lauren was now getting it down with some guy, I later found out was named Keaton. Those two usually were the ones to get it going most of the time. It always got me worked up on the inside watching her dance with him as he puts a possessive arm around her waist and grinds into her from the back. It’s almost as if he was sending a message across the bar that she belonged to him. But Lauren wasn’t one to be weak and usually broke off the scene and moved along to dance with the girls. For the rest of the night Keaton would be nowhere in sight and I got to relax for the rest of the time knowing that pretty soon Lauren would join me. Deep down I felt like he was more than just a random guy, the way he tries to get her to stop flirting and gets crazy mad when she does, but I wouldn’t question her seeing as it may not be any of my business. As if on cue, Lauren walked over to me as her eyes were staring right into mine as she did her usual cat walk towards me. As soon as my eyes catch Laurens it’s like the rest of the room turns into a blur. Sadly tonight was not one of the nights we would spend alone; we were joined by Alexa, Veronica, and their friend Lucy.

We decided to play a game of truth or dare, which at first started out innocently. “Lucy, truth or dare?” asked Vero, “truth babe” replied Lucy in an instant. “Would you go out on a date with me?” Vero winked at her, “Definitely!” Lucy replied in a heartbeat but the blush on her face was unmistakable. Those two were so cute and I thought it was about time they went out. I didn’t see them much and haven’t known them for long, but I could see how much they cared for one another. As the game progressed the questions became more personal and I realized Lauren tried to avoid them with witty answers. She was an open book…most of the time. But the secrets she keeps are the ones I would die to know. It was Alexas turn to ask Lauren. “Truth or Dare Laur?” Alexa asked knowing the girl would choose truth and weasel her way out of saying it. “Dare.” Lauren answered and acted as if she was bored as we all turned our heads to stare at her. She was the first to choose dare in a while and we all waited for what was to come next. Alexa gave out an evil smirk and her eyes went back and forth between Lauren and I. “ I dare you to give Camila a really hot lap-dance. It could be down here or you could go upstairs to the couches where it would be more comfortable. Your call” she said as Vero and Lucy held in their giggles as if they knew something I didn’t.
