The Almighty Choice: A Charmed Fanfiction

Chapter 16: The Devil's Music

We ended up in Pipers office as always, hidden away from the crowd that roared inside of P3. I looked over at Paige and smiled. "Lets go!" I said and dragged Paige along side of me out the door and into the party. Piper and Phoebe quickly followed behind us, their voices being lost in the noise.

As we emerged Play by Jennifer Lopez was playing on the speakers. I pulled Paige to the dance floor and the two of us let loose, men around the room watching us hungrily. Dancing like this and putting on a show was also familiar to me, losing myself in the music and becoming somebody else.

As the beat changed so did my moves, becoming more dramatic as I swung my hair and my hips. I suddenly felt a pair of hands on my hips and looked back to see a mocha coloured man grinning down at me. I smirked up at him and continued to dance, moving my hips in a circular motion as I moved around steadily.

As the songs changed from one to another, I slowly danced my problems away. With each hair flip and hip roll I slowly shed my stress away, the problem of Chris slowly disipitating until I felt light as a bird.

After a while, I got tired and headed to the bar, my mouth parched and in need of a desperate drink. As I finally reached there I sat down at a stool and flagged down the bartender, ordering myself a scotch on the rocks with a twist. He nodded his head and walked away, preparing my drink. I tapped my fingers on the counter, waiting and looking around for one of the sisters but finding no one.

I sighed and spun around in my seat and thats when I felt the eyes on me. I turned my head to the right to see a few seats down a man, with bright blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes. He watched me with a knowing smirk on his face, his eyes skimming over my frame. Something about his stare made me blush, my gaze slipping from his. It wasnt like the usual way men stared at me, with a lust and hunger. His stare was more intimate, looking over me and seeing everything on the outside and the inside. It was the oddest thing and I couldnt explain it.

"Miss?" A voice suddenly said, disturbing my thoughts. I turned around to see the bartender holding my drink and I smiled and nodded "thanks, just put it under the Halliwells tab." He raised an eyebrow at me and leaned forward. "And who are you, if I may ask?" I smirked and leaned closer to him, whispering seductively. "Leah Halliwell, their youngest sister." His flace flooded red and he backed away, mumbling an apology and leaving me sitting with an amused look on my face.

I grabbed my drink and turned back around in my seat, leaning back against the counter as I sipped. I felt his eyes on me again and I looked back over at him. He smiled as I caught his eyes and raised his glass. I smirked, raising my own glass before knocking the rest back and placing the empty glass on the counter.

I headed back to the dancefloor, knowing he would follow. I could feel him close to me, could feel him his eyes boring into my back before I turned around and found his fiery gaze. He didnt speak, only took my hand and spun me around before he pulled me to him. Carino by Jennifer Lopez was playing and soon I felt my body moving in the familiar rythums of the salsa.

He grinned down at me as we danced, our bodies fitting together evenly. I could feel the music pulse through me as the lyrics flowed through me.

Carino! Gotta have your love. Need to feel you touch. Never get enough.

It was too perfect, with this stranger. Too good and as quickly as it started, my sexy movements were swept out from under me as he leaned down and kissed me. His kiss was off, it felt familiar, it soothed the ache in my chest. The ache from Chris, that was from me not being with him.

I pushed him off quickly, looking at him with an exaspertated expression. He simply smirked at me and stepped forward. "Whats wrong, babe?" He said. His voice struck a chord inside of me, igniting the hurt my demon had burried deep within myself. My anger blazed overtop of the hurt, causing my demon to stir inside of me. I growled and spun on my heel, walking until I reached the back exit of P3 and out into the alley.
