"Fine" I said standing up. "Whoa head rush" I exclaimed and fell back towards the ground. I felt Brunos arm under me before I could hit the floor.
"Thanks Bruno" I said taking his free hand and standing up straight.
"So how about that drink?" Bruno asked.
"Lets go"
We arrived at Pulse a quiet club around the corner from my apartment. Bruno suggested this place because he thought that he would not get recognized.
"What can I get you guys?" a waiter asked when we neared the bar.
I walked away to get a seat whilst Bruno ordered the drinks, after all he knew my drink.
I thought back to the first time I met Bruno...
5 years ago
"Melanie! Get your ass down here! The Hernandez' will be round any minute now!" My dad shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"Im coming for fuck sake dad." I muttered under my breath, I knew better than to swear in front of my father.
I put on my mascara and quickly ran down the stairs the same time as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" I shouted walking to get the door.
I opened it and the most handsome guy I ever seen was leaning against the door frame.
"Hi, the rest of my family are just getting stuff outta the car. You must be Melanie?" The guy said.
It took me a while to get my words together. I blinked and finally spoke,
"Uhh... um yeah." He laughed at me and held out his hand. I stared at it like I'd never seen a hand before. "Melanie? You're meant to shake someones hand when they offer it." He made me jump and he laughed at me again.
"Oh right..." I took his hand and he shook my hand gently. "I'm Bruno, nice to finally meet you. My folks have told me so much about you."
"Hi Bruno."
I just stood there staring at him. What was wrong with me?
My Mom came up behind me and whispered in my ear, "Told you so"
I vaguely remembered her telling me he was a looker, that is an understatement.
"Come in Bruno dear. Melanie show him to the living room." My mom said as she seen that I was at a loss of words.
"Thanks Mrs Franklin. May I say you have a beautiful daughter!" He looked at me and winked when he said it.
I felt my cheeks flood with color and I immediately turned and headed for the living room.
I heard my mom say "Why thank you Bruno." I turned back around and he was following me shaking his head and laughing softly.
I laughed softly and shook my head at the memory, so much had happened between us since then.
At this point Bruno had rejoined me and asked me what I was laughing at."Oh just the day we met." He laughed with me and took a sip of his drink.
Many drinks later Bruno was wasted. I don't think that I'd ever seen him so drunk before.
Our conversation over the night was just about the past and how we remembered it being so much fun and how we missed one another.
As Bruno was going to get another drink I finished my shot of Tequila and stood up. Wow I didn't realize how drunk I was!
I wandered over to Bruno and put my hands around his waist from behind. He turned around, downed his drink and led me over to the dance floor. He started dancing real dirty, like I remember he used to. I was too drunk to realize when he started grinding. I just looked up into his eyes and he leaned down and I closed my eyes as I felt his lips on mine.
