Seville
Chapter 1
She stepped out of the shower quickly fixing her hair. It had to be perfect and cute for clubbing tonight. Well she really didn't consider it clubbing. It was really the only club in town, besides the whore house, but she wasn't that type girl. She lived in a small town. It was one of the bigger in the state but still small. She lived in Pensacola, Fl, well technically she lived in Pace; which was right outside town.
She scrunched her hair , and shook it trying to help it dry a little faster. She stepped out of the bathroom heading towards her room. "Brrrrrrrrring!" She rushed to the phone hoping it was Ash.
"Hello," she answered.
"Hey," it was Bethany.
"Hey," she said in a more casual tone. She wasn't trying to be redundant it was just habit.
"Hey, are you gonna be at Seville, tonight?" Bethany screamed, apparently already there.
"Yeah, I just got out of the shower," she said looking over at her alarm clock "I'll be there in about an hour."
"'K bye," Bethany screamed into the phone. "Bye."
She walked into her room and turned on her radio. Another habit of hers, she had to listen to music while getting ready.
She put on a hot pink polyester camisole. It was kind of tight, and made her really self conscious but tonight she didn't care. The Libertines came on so she stopped and starting dancing. She only knew the chorus so all she sang was, "You can't stand me now. No you can't stand me now!"
Tonight was special for many reasons, it had been her 1 month anniversary from her huge breakup with …him and was her friends Ash (short for Ashley) and Megan's night they were playing, along with Straylight Run. They , Ash's band, were the opening act.
She started to pull on her blue skirt. It was wavy , and went past her knees. The best type skirt to dance in, because it wouldn't ride up. She put her blue scarf on as a belt, the one she had gotten from Spain. She applied a little bit of makeup. She didn't need a lot because it was just going to sweat off after she started dancing. After leaving the bathroom once more she put on her hot pink shoes. She had gotten them from Hot-Topic for $13.
She put on her Heart perfume by Clinque. She quickly pulled on her blue jean jacket and grabbed her keys and purse.
When she got in her Alero , she put in her Franz Ferdinand cd. They were her favorite band of all time. She hurried to Seville but didn't go to fast she didn't need a ticket. She pulled into the parking lot, just on time. She figured she would find Bethany by the bar, having some guy buy her a drink. No they weren't 21, but Bethany was a rule breaker. That's what made them such great friends.
She walked in after getting a red X on her hand, meaning she was under 21. She scurried through the crowd trying to find Bethany. She found her on the dance floor. Bethany took her to their table and they put they're stuff down.
Riley took off her jacket, making sure not to knock any of her bracelets off. She and Bethany ran back over to the dance floor. They had started playing their songand they weren't going to miss out on it.
"Baby is this love for real
let me in your arms to feel
the beating of your heart baby
the beating of your heart baby
(beating heart baby)
Baby is this love for real"
They started rocking to the beat. It was Riley who had gotten Bethany hooked on this song. They both loved it and almost every time they went "cruising'" they played it.
When the song ended they stopped to here , The Bonds, Ash's band. They started playing a fast song for everyone to dance to. If Riley remembered correctly it was called Get on the Floor an' Get Down. It cracked her up especially how Ash sang it. After the next song, they left the floor and Straylight Run came one.
Ash found Riley on the floor when Straylight run started to play.
"moving in slow like the smoke from your cigarette.
every step closer's a step that we both will regret.
keeping a tally, but who can keep track?
your overreacting is taking me back to a time better left alone"
"How we're we?" Ash screamed to Riley.
"Awesome, " Riley said giving her a thumbs up before she started singing the along with the band.
Not long after, they both started singing the songs and dancing. They , Straylight Run, played two songs they didn't know before playing other songs that were on their cd.
"Want a drink," Riley asked Ash.
"Nah, had a few cokes backstage, really nervous," she replied before Riley left.
Riley waltzed up to the bar and asked for a Sweet Tea. Yes, it was unusal for drinking at a bar, but they were better than cokes.
"Hi, Rye," the bartender said.
"Joseph," she said shocked "What are you doing working here?"
"Need the money, West isn't paying me to go there," he said smirking at her.
She had gotten almost a full paid scholarship to the University. It wasn't just cause she had good grades, but her Great grandfather had donated a lot of money to the building and helped build it.
"I don't either ," she said playfully punching him in the shoulder.
"Well I'll see you later," she said before turning around. When she did so she ran smack dab into a beautiful blonde. She had spilt all of her tea on the poor guy.
"I'm so sorry ," she said kneeling down and wiping his shirt off with a bunch of napkins.
"Stupid muggles," he murmured as he looked at his ruined shirt.
"Look, I'll pay to buy you a new one," she said trying to help him up and smiling.
He looked up ather and his anger was gone. She had the sweetest smile, which was so genuine. Then he looked into the deep pool of green in hereyes. They were something he had never seen before, so... enticing( Spelling?).
"Bothering other people I see," a new voice sneered. She looked up and glared at him.
"I don't remember asking you for your comments, Richard," she replied.
"Well they're always here to help, " He said silkily.
"So where's your whore?" she asked bluntly.
"She's not a whore," he said about to slap her. Before he could even reach her , the strange blonde jumped up and in front of her, as if shielding her.
"Excuse me," he said in a strong British accent, which almost made Riley faint "Its not polite to hit a lady."
"Its ok," he said moving towards a girl in a green shirt and blue jean skirt "I was just leaving."
She sighed heavily as he left. "I'm really sorry about that," she said. The blonde started to laugh at her. "What," she said upset that her night was practically ruin in 5 minutes.
"Your accent," he exclaimed.
"Well yours isn't that normal either," she said , holding her hand out "I'm Riley and you are?"
"Draco, but don't worry about remembering you probably won't see me after tonight."
"Oh, You're a Mr. I've got Things to do and people to see, type guy," she said giggling. He looked at her oddly before laughing. "Actually I'm a Mr. People to do and things to see , type guy," he said smirking at her suggestively.
"Well that's nice, but I really have to go" she said shocked because most guys she knew weren't, well so outgoing.
"I'm only joking," he said grabbing her arm .
"Hey," she said to him "You just can't yank me around."
He smirked at her and before she knew it he was kissing her.
She pushed him away, trying to stop him.
"Rule number 1," she said "I never kiss on the first date, and this isn't even a date."
"Are all Yanks like you ?" he asked holding her by the waist. She really didn't even let guys do that, but for some reason she trusted him.
"No, but there are the few old fashioned ones like me" she said.
"Will you dance on a first date ," he asked.
"Sure," she said taking his hand and leading him out onto the floor.
She immediately started singing along with the band.
"And I try but I'm not convinced,
Your lips they pout and twist,
And I just die trying to keep myself from kissing you,
You take in everything with a certainty I envy,
Just keep me Guessing please."
He grabbed her hips and started swaying with them. It had been so long since she had danced with someone. Richard would never dance with her. He said she was too much out of rhythm but apparently Draco didn't think so.
She turned around and faced him. She was practically serenading to him . She wanted to kiss him so bad.
Of course it was his fault, he got her wanting more. 'I wonder if I'll see him again,' she thought to herself ,as
Straylight Run started playing It's for the Best, 'Well isn't this song ironic...anyways these club things never last.'
