A NEW LOVE FOR POLLY
~Polly~
"I'm going to get a drink, Lucille, I'll dance with you later."
Lucille just shrugged and smiled. She never minded being alone on the dancefloor. I, in the other hand, hated being alone, especially after going out with Speedy for nearly 2 years. We had broken up eight months ago, and he had been going out with Guido for six months. I had been furious when I discovered they were a couple, mainly because they were both guys. But after a talk with Speedy this morning, I had decided to go out and enjoy single life for once with my friends.
I sat alone at the nightclub bar, sipping a bourbon and coke. My friends were always wondering why it was so hard for me to get a boyfriend. They always told me that they thought I was beautiful. I guess I wasn't too bad looking. I was average height, with soft white fur, a slim build, and large, ice blue eyes. My hair was deep red, and fell to my shoulders in soft waves.
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
Surprised, I looked up, and came face to face with a gorgeous tomcat. He was about my height, with fur the colour of milky tea. His hair was a dark golden-blond, and he had the youthful good looks of a teen idol. But the most intriguing thing about him was definatley his eyes. They were almond-shaped, and a deep emerald green, swirled with gold flecks.
"Iie." I heard myself saying. "You can sit here if you want."
He smiled, revealing perfect teeth.
"What's your poison?"
I smiled shyly.
"Could I have a bourbon and coke?" He nodded, then turning towards the bartender, ordered two bourbons with coke. After handing me my drink, he sat back comfortably, looking at me.
"I haven't seen you here before." I said curiously. "Whats your name?"
"Gomen. I should've introduced myself before. I'm Blair Ayami." He replied. "Whats your name?"
"My name is Polly Esther."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
I smiled bitterly.
"Up until eight months ago I did."
He tilted his head to one side curiously.
"What happened?" He asked kindly.
"He dumped me because he was in love with another guy!" I replied, bitterness seeping into my voice.
"I can relate to that."
"How?" I asked, curious.
"My long-time girlfriend dumped me for her best friend, another girl. I caught them sleeping together, and she dumped me right on the spot." He said. He sounded upset.
"Are you mad at her?"
He shook his head.
"We're actually quite good friends. I want her to be happy, and she thinks that I deserve better than her."
"My relationship with my ex isn't that good." I sighed. "It's taken me ages to accept the fact that yaoi and yuri aren't wrong or immoral, but it still tears me up to see them together, because I still live him, even though I know he doesn't love me."
He smiled at me.
"It'll fade over time, Polly. It took me awhile to realise that, but the pain DOES fade, then we find someone new, and we move on."
A comfortable silence passed between us. I noticed that he seemed to be gazing at me. I smiled at him.
"Is there something wrong, Blair?"
"There's nothing wrong, Polly."
"Then why were you staring at me?"
"Well…I think you're gorgeous." He replied, a light blush spreading over his face.
"That's just what I was thinking about you." I said with a smile. He blushed again, making me giggle.
"Wanna dance?" He asked, holding out his hand.
"I'm all yours." I replied, taking his hand, and allowing him to lead me onto the dancefloor. It was nearing midnight. I leaned into Blair, feeling relaxed from alcohol as I heard the first strains of "What a feeling" from Flashdance.
"I love this song." I gasped, starting to dance in time to it.
"Me too." He replied, dancing with me. "Have you ever seen the movie? I've seen it eight times."
"I've seen it eleven."
We danced on until about 2am, and I introduced him to Lucille, and Francine, who had been dancing with Bucky the entire night. I hadn't felt so happy or relaxed in ages, and Blair really seemed to be enjoying himself as well. I was so disappointed when the club closed. Lucille was going to drive us home because she was the only one of us who hadn't been drinking. Blair walked me to her car, holding my hand.
"Domo! I had a great time, Polly." He said happily. "I'm really glad I met you tonight."
"Same here."
"Can I see you again?" He asked. I grinned, not believing my luck. The hottest guy in the in the entire nightclub was asking me out.
"Of course, here's my number." I replied, writing my number on my club ticket and handing it to him. He smiled, then leaned closer towards my face. His lips brushed mine, hesitant at first, then firmer when I responded to the kiss. His mouth opened slightly, and his tongue probed my lips, asking for access. I opened my mouth and allowed his tongue to explore. I couldn't believe what a good kisser he was. Reluctantly, I broke the kiss, needing air.
"Oyasumi nasai, Blair-kun." I smiled
"Oyasumi nasai, Polly-chan." He whispered, and kissed my cheek. Getting into Lucille's car, I blew him a kiss. I had only known Blair for a few hours, yet I already felt so close to him, and I think I was in love again…
