A/N: Hey guys! This story probably looks familiar to a lot of you...(p.s., I'm thelurker over on another SoN site). I may tweak it a little bit this time around, but don't worry, nothing about the actual storyline will change. To all the new readers, hope you like it!
The cool breeze hit Ashley's face as she stepped out of her car, which was welcoming on this unusually warm June night. She checked herself one last time in her side-view mirror before heading towards the club. As she got closer, her heart started pounding to the rhythm that was pouring from the building out onto the street. Ashley wasn't one to go to clubs all that often, the last time was almost a year ago for her friend's bachelorette party, but every once in awhile she got a craving. She yearned to melt into the music, get drunk off martini's and girls, and feel the rush and heat of the dance floor.
After getting a wristband, Ashley immediately headed to the bar and ordered a shot of vodka. After slamming that and finishing half a beer, a tall-dark-and-handsome took notice and asked for a dance. Ashley obliged and they ended up in a sea of people, grinding to the music. Ashley could feel the stranger's hot breath on the back of her neck as she rocked harder into his jeans. Ashley knew she was being a tease because she knew that no matter what, she won't be going home with him, or anyone for that matter. She comes here for fun, no strings attached. As they danced, the techno-beat pulsating through their veins, a gorgeous redhead came up and put her hands on Ashley's hips and they quickly found a rhythm. Staring deep into her eyes, Ashley slowly removed herself from between the two and slipped outside. Quickly finding a cigarette in her purse, she lit it and inhaled slowly. Taking a swig from her beer, she basked in the coolness of the outdoors and the haziness of the smoke around her.
After smoking, Ashley headed back into the club. She ordered a Cosmo this time and sat comfortably at the bar and watched the redhead and her former dance partner make out.
"Strange isn't it, how quickly you can become the third wheel," a voice startled Ashley out of her lightly-inebriated comfort.
"Haha, yeah," Ashley said with a nervous chuckle.
"I was watching you out there, you look really good." Ashley decided it was a good idea to take a look at this character, in case she needed to describe the woman to the police or get a restraining order. What she saw was a beautiful green-eyed brunette, her hair was straight down with layers, smoky make-up that was subtly done around her eyes, light pink full lips, she was wearing a black-sequined halter top and jeans. Well, she didn't look too menacing.
"Do you want something to drink? I'm running low," Ashley asked.
"I'll buy if you dance with me," she replied. Agreeing, Ashley finished off her second beer and was led onto the floor again.
They danced all night long together. Ashley let the woman's hands slide up and down her body while she got lost in the sounds and lights, her tongue ran up and down Ashley's neck while Ashley let the alcohol fuel her. By the end of the night, Ashley was sobered up and ready to go home. Exhausted, she pulled apart from the brunette, "I need to go." Without even saying goodbye Ashley left the club and headed home.
