Players Life

Chapter 7: Let's dance

Katrine POV

The guy at the front of the club opened the doors for us.

The place was full of people laughing, dancing and talking.

The air smelled like tropical drinks and deodorant.

Unlike a lot of places, it didn't smell of the horrible cigarette smoke. It was a smoke free, thank god.

Some DJ put on a remix of 2 songs. The music was fast and loud, it seemed to shake the room.

"Cmon let's dance!" Someone screamed, could of been Jason. Probably not Ace or Ingrid.

Ace acted like he was too cool to dance, and Ingrid was probably freaking out over being in a club for the first time.

On the dance floor, Jason grinned and spin me around. I hit people and they shot me dirty looks but I just laughed.

"Wanna get a drink?" Jason asked over the loud music.

"Sure" Jason lead me towards the bar.

"What do you want?'" He asked

"Umm. What are you having?"

"I'm not really into drinking, like you know, alcohol. I'm gonna have coke."

"Oh, ok. Um yeah I'll have a diet coke.." I didn't really expect him to be the type who doesn't drink, but whatever.

We got our drinks and went to sit at a sofa at the end of the room.

Ingrid POV

Ace pulled me towards the dance floor.

"I know this music sucks, but dance with me" he screamed, but it sounded like a whisper since it was so loud.

"Oh, I don't really know how to dance"

"Ha. Neither do more than half of the people in here, but look at them anyway."

I looked and there were girls, their shoes off, drunk and laughing wildly.

Guys dancing crazily with girls, or by themselves.

A few people looked like they knew what they were doing, and a pretty girl with the most gorgeous chocolate skin colour was dancing like she had taken classes since she was young.

We danced and danced. Didn't think of anything, just danced.

It was new to me, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun.

"Let's take a walk outside" Ace said and I nodded.

The night air whipped my hair up, and the stars and street lamps shone on me.

Ace sat down on the bench. Despite it being about 1 in the morning, plenty of people walked on the street and it was very loud.

"Hey, Ingrid can you get me a drink. I'm assuming you have a fake ID. I'm not yet 21. I once went to Australia, and there the age limit is only 18. Shame the USA isn't the same."

Feeling like a waitress I replied "Sure and what would you like, wait a sec, let me write that down."

Ace laughed "A red bull and vodka thanks"

"The chef will prepare your order" I giggled and went back inside.

Going towards the bar , flashing Daria's fake ID (she looked quite a bit like me, and my height made me look older.) I asked for a red bull with vodka, and a water for me.

I didn't really drink, but sometimes on fancy occasions my dad let me take little sips of wine.

Heading back outside, the night air hit my face.

"Here's your ord-" I started but got distracted by Ace lighting up a cigarette.

"You smoke?!?!?!" I shrieked, mouth hanging open.

"Huh, oh. Haven't you heard, it's what all the cool kids are doing" he smirked.

I didn't reply, just stood there staring, drinks in my hands.

"In all the books, they all smoke. Looking for Alaska, The perks of being a wallflower, just to name a few" he added.

He wasn't smoking it yet, but it was lit so it wasn't just "a metaphor".

I sat down next to him.

"That doesn't mean you have to" I said gently. I didn't want to lecture but it's seriously unhealthy.

"I know" he whispered.

His icy blue eyes stared straight into mine and his face inched closer.

"I'm not going kiss you if you have smokers breath" I complained.

"Anything for you" Ace said softly, throwing the cigarette in the floor, and crushing it with his black Vans shoes.

He kissed me softly.

My first kiss.

Well, Kat's brother had kissed me as a dare before, but Kat claimed he was gay and that it didn't count.

I pulled away.

I didn't really know Ace enough to kiss him for too long.

"C'mon, let's go inside." Ace took my hand and led me towards the club doors, his drink in the opposite hand.
