Collide

chapter 5 - Alison

Chapter 5

The loud music roared into the massive speakers around us, like your having another two hearts in your ears, beating piercingly. People were dancing around, singing with the song and specially drinking; yes were on a club, our club. Molly Lenny and me, we have five clubs around California and right now we’re on the 6th and newly open club ‘Emerald’, your right that’s the name of our club. It’s located just outside Malibu. It’s pretty impressive how many people went to our first night; yes it is our first night.

 Well Molly and Lenny do the Opening ceremony blah blah blah, I just got here because I’m not in the mood. We’re sitting on one of the V.I.P... There were a light blue glass table at the center of the room surrounded by three black leather couches nearly forming a circle and my favourite of all a small blue lava lamp at the center of the table.

I sit beside Troy who I thinks loving it. Did I mention that I’m not in the mood of clubbing tonight but it’s our opening so I have no choice.

“I’ll get us a drink!” Lenny volunteer.

“Can you get me a Gin & Tonic?” Molly said making herself comfortable on the other couch.

“What about you Troy?” Ask Lenny.

“Anything!”

“Okay!”. “What about you Ali?”

“Can I just have water?” They all look at me. “WHAT?” No one answer.

“Okay, Okay. I’ll have a coke.”

“Really Ali, Really?” Molly said sarcastically. “You’re on a club slash bar.” She said saying in a ‘duh’ tone.

“Fine! Just get me anything!” I stop arguing because I know that once Molly talk I can’t win. ALWAYS.

“Your wish is my command.” Lenny said while walking out into the VIP room.

I remove my three inch black high heels and straighten up my blue and white cocktail dress. I hate wearing those heels. Why I even bother to wear this? Oh yes Molly insisted too. I just answer my own question.

“So what do you think?” I asked Troy.

“Well I think your club is awesome!” He said looking at me with a smile. This is the first time I saw him smile like that.

“Good.”

Molly starts moving her head to the beat of the music and it slowly lead into dancing in the middle of the room even though the music isn’t that loud inside the room. She dance like no one’s watching her; well no one’s really watching though.

A few minutes later.....

Lenny comes back with our drinks, he carefully put the drinks down on the table, he gets his own drinks which is Corona and sit on the other couch, Molly gets her Gin & Tonic and continue dancing, and Troy gets the Heineken because the other drink got my name on it. I look at Lenny with a ‘what is this look?’ Look and he said.

“It’s your own special cocktail. Isn’t it sweet?”

“Because the bartender likes you.” Molly whisper in my ears in a scary seductively – ish voice that made me jump off my seat. Then they all laugh at me...

“Ha ha very funny!” I said sarcastically. I sit back beside Troy while they still laughing at me.

“You should have seen your face!” Molly says between laugh. Then she becomes serious. “No really Ali, the bartender likes you.”
