Break Me Free - Roger Taylor

14. Girls Gone Wild*

Thank you so much, for your kind comments and votes. :)

There were already Brian and Chris in the pub, waiting for Freddie and Mary, but nobody expected Mary to make Freddie come on time. Roger went in first, followed by the girls. Kate noticed the looks and smiles, that other girls in the pub gave him as soon as they entered. He looked down at first, then reached back for Kate's hand and pulled her to his side. She smiled, proud and triumphant, however she knew ho petty it was. Brian and Chrissie were already ordering their drinks by bar, so they headed straight to them. Kate introduced the girls.

"Six tequilas!" Jill ordered to bartender. He nodded and prepared six shots. Roger reached for one over Kate's shoulder, and quickly pulled the hand back, when Jill smacked him.

"Leave you hands for yourself!" she scolded him. Then she moved two shots to Alice, two to Kate and left the last two for herself.

"So, this is what it looks like, when the Oxford girls go wild." Jill anounced and the three girls raised their shots.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers."

"To gynaecology!" Jill shouted and they drank three shots, put the glasses down and finished the second round.

"Okay, six more and this time all together." Jill decided and everybody got his shot this time.

"Well that'll be rather short evening." Brian noted. They went back to the booth Brian and Chris occupied before, all of them with beers, only Kate with her glass of wine. She felt the alcohol quickly spreading in her body and realized she should watch over Alice.

Soon the Dacing Queen by ABBA began to play, Jilll lighted up, grabbed Alice's and Kate's hand. Kate managed to grab Chris too and all four of them started to dance on the floor.

Kate couldn't remember last time she felt so free. Her head was light, careless, but still pretty self-confident on the dancefloor, even in the high heels. The next song was Mrs. Robinson by her favourite duo Simon and Garfunkel.

Shortly after, the music slowed down in the melody of Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues. Kate felt somebody's hand snaking around her waits. She turned around and gave Roger a big smile.

"May I?" he asked. She pressed herself against him, one hand on his shoulder, the other in his hand, they slowly moved around the dancefloor in relaxed dance stance. She wouldn't admit it to Roger, but she considered this song to be the most emotive she knew. It felt a bit unfaithful.

She was swamped in emotions, when looked up to Roger. They kissed, tenderly and fondly, even though he pulled her even closer urgently.

They went back to their table, fingers tightly intertwined, sat so close to each other as physically possible. Roger laid his arm around her shoulder, she leaned lightly against his chest. She got ahold of his hand and toyed with his long fingers.

Jill and Freddie were just coming back from the bar with more shots, and gave everyone their own.

"I don't think she should be drinking anymore." Chris nodded to Alice, who once again began to fall asleep.

"We really need to train her, she can't keep going like that, she sleeps through half of every party." Jill complained and adopted Alice's shot.

Half an hour later, Alice was deep asleep on pillow made from her jacket. Kate was in the middle of discussion about physics with Brian, they began to talk about their song '39 and continued about time dilation.

"Alright, I'm no astophysicist, but if there's infinite spacetime curvature in the centre of black hole and the gravitational field is also infinite, isn't also the time in it infinite?"
