SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 4

Chapter 4 

I hear my name called again. However, this time it’s spoken aggressively instead of softly, I decide to ignore it. I’ve decided in the last second I must be losing my mind or it’s the whole nerve thing either way I can’t do anything about it right now so I’ll worry about it tomorrow. This place is great the lights are like the old disco light's you see in the old movies on T.V. All the colors coming from the lights are fantastic. The music is blasting from the speakers people are everywhere dancing, drinking having a blast. For the first time in my life, I am going to be part of it. Sure Liz, Angie and I have gotten drunk together a few times at Liz's house while her parents were away. This is completely different for one thing, there are guys everywhere secondly, there are guys everywhere, thirdly did I happen to mention there are guys everywhere need I say more?  “I think I’ve died and gone to Heaven" I yell over the music. Angie is pointing to an open table. I nod my head letting her know I see. We make our way to it sitting down but I can feel my body swaying to the music making it nearly imposable to keep my ass on the seat.

“God I can't wait to get on the dance floor” Liz yells.

I know how she feels I’m ready to jump out of my freaking seat. Angie sees the waitress coming around so she holds up her hand waving her to our table. The waitress takes our orders smiling kindly she tells us she’ll be right back with our drinks. No sooner has she left than a couple of cute guys ask if either of us want to dance. I decide I’d rather wait on our drinks to arrive so I tell my friends to go ahead.

“Are you sure?” Liz questions.

“Yes I’m sure get your ass out there and start shaking it before I change my mind.” With that said I watch my two best friends step in front of the guys leading the way to the dance floor. The waitress returns with our drinks within minutes of them leaving the table. “Thank you” I say to the waitress as I pay her for our drinks making sure to add a decent tip in. I turn my beer up taking a huge gulp from the bottle. By the time Angie and Liz come back to the table I’ve finished off two drinks. I’m beginning to feel a small buzz from the alcohol so I’m joking around with the girls about the guys they were dancing with. We are all laughing having a fantastic time. Several guys come up asking if want to dance, but we tell them no thanks but maybe later. By this time we are in the “girl zone” you know the place where you are having more fun with your girlfriends than you possibly could be having with some unknown guy. Another half an hour goes by we are all buzzing now making everything funny. I feel someone touch my back. I turn around seeing the door guy smiling down at me. I give him a big smile in return.

“Guy's I think I'm ready to dance now” I say standing up from the table. Muscle guy takes me by the hand leading me to the dance floor. The music is fast and loud. I love it. I close my eyes letting the music take me over. I love to dance, I am good at it. I open my eyes smiling at Mr. Muscles before turning my back to him I grind against him. I feel his hands go around my waist pulling me closer I smile enjoying myself.

I hear it again my name being called out in an angry tone making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I must admit to me I’ve been dealing with all this shit pretty well but this time I’m about to freak the hell out. The voice does more than call my name this time it speaks to me. Yep I’m positive a white coat is in my very near future. The voice is demanding to know what the hell I’m doing, but it goes even further than that in a hard tone it asked me if I was trying to get myself raped then it proceeds to insistent I stop dancing before I get someone killed” My eyes pop open, I feel chills run through me. I know it’s him I’m positive if I look around I’ll find him he’s here I feel it. All three of them are here I’m not sure how I know this but I do it’s like I can feel them. I know it doesn’t make since but there hasn’t been much in my life making since in the last couple of weeks. Chills through my body as my eyes scan the crowed of people searching for them. It doesn’t take long for me to find what I’m looking for his six foot frame holding a beer his friends standing next to him. He’s standing at the bar his eyes on me, he’s looking beyond angry.
