"I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad
It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan."
I laughed at the bemused expressions on Quatre's and Trowa's faces, apparently they didn't see me as the type of person who went clubbing for the hell of it. They eventually came to their senses and realized that they were staring open mouthed at me and again I laughed. Poor Duo was sitting there getting more and more confused by the second. He had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on at this point in time.
"You look different tonight Amber, we didn't recognize you at all." Trowa finally said breaking the silence that had blanketed them in the moments before.
"You look absolutely gorgeous, Amber. Its amazing what a little music and a night off can do for one's personality. You look as if you could fly at any given moment. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." Quatre said quietly.
"We didn't even recognize you at all, not that the lighting and the way you did your hair helped any..." Trowa commented with a wave of his hand.
I found myself blushing a bit at their words. "Thanks guys. I love dancing, before I had Morwen it was one of my favorite things to do on the weekends. Her father never approved though..."They noticed her expression darken for a few moments and then it lit up again covering a past hurt. "All well, he's not here now so it doesn't matter does it.
"Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby."
"Definitely not." The two agreed in unison.
I turned and looked at Duo who was eating more fries and still had a completely confused expression on his face. I patted him on the back and smiled coyly at him. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it eventually." All of us burst out in laughter.
"It appears I'm going to have to by the looks of things" he replied dryly.
"You look at me
but you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen
If you want me let me know
I promise I won't say no."
I pulled up a chair and swung it around backwards so I could lean on it. Straddling the chair like that we talked for a long time on so many different things that I couldn't remember how it all got started. At the present moment we were talking about the perpetual implosion of society caused by the mainstream trends and subcultures. (Duo sat there pretending to understand what in the world we were talking about. I felt bad for him.)
After almost eight rounds of drinks I felt like dancing again and stood up with my drink still in my hand. "So why is it that I come into this place, find you here, and haven't seen either of you make for the dance floor? Are we too old to keep up with everyone else?"
"I can dance I just prefer to sit here and talk with my friends." Quatre said.
"Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby."
"Prove it."
I grabbed his hand and led him to the edge of the dance floor where a slow song was playing. He put one hand on the small of my back and took my other hand in his. Wrapping my free arm around his neck I put my cheek on his. Perhaps it was the alcohol flowing through my bloodstream but it felt so good to be held again. Warmth flooded through me and I sighed contently. I missed being in the arms of a man, it made me safe. It didn't matter that it was only for the sake of a dance. And Quatre was a good dancer. He pulled me closer to him and we lost ourselves in the rhythm.
I didn't see Heero walk into the club and spot Quatre and I dancing. I didn't see him glare at us with fire and ice in his eyes, seething with anger at the thought of me being in the arms of another man. I didn't see him as he walked over to us. My eyes were closed in the ecstasy of dance.
"You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin. Just cash in.
You got something that you want me to tell
You'll love me. Wait and see.
If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
it won't be in vain
Uh-uh-uh"
But I did feel the hand on my shoulder as the song ended and another began. The deep voice penetrated my bliss and rang in my ears. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind who that voice belonged too.
"May I cut in?"
Not here! Not now! Please this can't be happening! Ohh goddess, I moaned inwardly.
