Confessions On A Dance Floor
Forget me Not
Okay it all started when we entered the club… we got passed the bouncer and we entered the club, Marina and Selphie were incredibly hyper before they even had a drink…
"My Hyne guys what's with you? Were you drinking before we got here?" asked Rinoa as she watched them bounce up and down inside the club.
"No! I personally can't wait to dance, I like…live for it."
"Yeah me too!" cooed Selphie bouncing to the music. Rinoa rolled her eyes.
"Well you two go and have some fun we'll get a table and meet us later. Okay?" They didn't even respond they just left to dance.
The dance floor was crowded with other people, some drunk, wanting to get their groove on. That was fine with Marina, they could all have their own groove, but Marina would make her own. Her and Selphie squeezed their way to the middle of the dance floor where they let loose. Marina flung her dark auburn hair wildly, the lights from the club seemed to light it up and turn it a deep crimson colour.
While doing this she may have hit someone she wasn't sure. "Oh my Hyne I love this song!" she called over the music to Selphie. When she looked at her friend there was a man behind her dancing with her. Selphie was turning a bright red, well at least she thought she was, the lights where making everything look colourful.
Selphie's eyes pleaded to save her from this unknown man's clutches, but Marina smiled devilishly, "I'll go get a drink!" she called. Selphie's eyes turned from pleading to two tiny little slits, from which immense evil was released. Marina once again made her was through the crowd toward the bar.
"I'll have a cosmo!" she called at the bartender.
"I.D.!" he called back. Marina rolled her eyes.
"I don't have my purse with me, but I swear I'm eighteen!"
"I.D.!"
"Really, I'm eighteen!"
"I.D.!"
"My birthday's in four days…wait…"
"You're seventeen aren't you?"
"Come on 4 days, 4 lousy days!" the bartender didn't respond he just looked at her. "…Fine I'll have a Cola." Marina leaned against the counter, as the bartender got her drink. When it appeared beside her she turned to him. "Thanks…"she read his nametag, "Bob?"
"15 gil." Marina fiddled in her bra and pulled out some money.
"Keep the change!" she called. Marina turned and sat on one of the stools at the bar. The man sitting beside her kept staring at her. "Hi."
"Hey," he responded coolly. He looked her up and down. He was a real dirt bag and she did not want to spend the night with some perv staring at her. So she did what any red blooded female would do, she grabbed the closest guy to her and pretended he was her boyfriend.
"Hey sexy," she kissed the guy on his cheek, and he turned around. Wow he was good looking. Marina suddenly felt herself at a loss for words. He gave her a questioning look and let's face it, who wouldn't give someone a weird stare if they were just kissed by a stranger. "…-Let's dance," she managed to sit out.
She dragged the man to the dance floor and began to dance with him. All the time he was looking at her weird. She turned and began to move her hips with his to the music. "That guy over there…" she began, "was checking my out and I wasn't in the mood to be ogled, so I pretended you were my boyfriend."
"Oh…" he replied, "I was wondering why some chick kissed my randomly." Marina smiled as she continued to dance with him, "But aren't you used to it?" he asked.
"What?"
"The ogling, after all it's kind of hard to not be attracted to you, even when you can only see the back of someone…" Marina turned to the guy and smiled at him. He was hitting on her, and though she didn't want that guy staring at her, she wanted this one. Then she heard it.
"RINA!" she turned to see Selphie maneuvering through the crowd towards her.
"That's my friend and I think she's pissed at me, so… pass me your phone and call me sometime." The guy went into his pocket and grabbed his phone.
Marina typed in her number and handed him the phone. "Marina?" he asked she nodded, "I'm Chris, promise to remember?"
"Won't forget, I swear." She turned to see Selphie closing in on her, "I'll talk to you later, Chris!" she called as she ran in the opposite direction. When she caught sight of Quistis she ran over to the table.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Other than Seifer and Irvine's blood alcohol levels? Nothing. But can you watch them I have to stop Squall from doing something immensely stupid." And with that Quistis walked off.
"Hey…" said Seifer, "want to play a fun game…?"
XXXXX
Quistis was searching through the crowd when Rinoa came up beside her. "Her Rinny, great party huh?"
"Yeah totally!" she replied kind off drunk.
"How'd you get us in here as V.I.P.'s?"
"Oh…my cousin James works here."
"James! You mean the guy that was in my shower!… Naked!"
"Shut up Marina this is my story, let me finish… anyways as I was saying, Rinoa came over…"
"That's cool."
"Yeah, anywayssssss," Rinoa lengthened her 's' because at this time she was completely inebriated, "Have you seen Squall?"
"Yeah…" replied Quistis till scanning the room.
"Let's welcome our next Karaoke volunteer!" said the D.J. into the microphone.
"Where was he?"
"He was going to get-"
"Marina Nolland!" Quistis' eyes widened as she looked on stage to see Marina stumbling on, clearly drunk.
"Damn it!" she cursed, "I should never have left her alone with those two!" she walked off in the direction of the stage. Marina picked up the microphone and whistled into it trying to find her key.
"Hi, my name's….Marina… and I am going o sing you," she pointed at the crowd, "a lovely song…and you better like it!"
The music started and she swayed back and forth either to th music, or because she was drunk.
"Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try?
Let me be your guide
Put aside your pride
Future lovers hide love inside their eyes
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
Love controlled by time
Future lovers shine for eternity
In a world that's free
Put away your past
Love will never last
If you're holding on to a dream that's gone…"
That was as far as she got before Marina collapsed of stage into the arms or one of the workers. "Are you Naughty?" she asked the man.
"Maybe…" he replied as he carried her to the door, "Where do you live, I'm gonna have to take you home."
"At the Garden…" she replied, "but it's really late maybe you shouldn't come to my room since I don't know your name…"
"James."
"In that case," Marina slurred, "you can come in, but no funny business." They were almost at the door, when James slipped on a drink that was on the floor and Marina was covered in cola and he had it n his hair.
"Gross…" she moaned.
"That slime ball! But it does explain why I was naked, my clothes were dirty, and it also explains why he was showering… but still he's Rinoa's cousin, what a man-whore, ooh!"
"What the hell was that?"
"Oh sorry, It's my phone sorry to interrupt your story Quisty." Marina left the room to talk on her cell.
"But that doesn't explain why I woke up in bed with Zell," complained Selphie
"You were in bed with Zell?"
" Hello?" Marina asked into the phone.
"Hey."
"Who is this?"
"Did you forget me?" Marina then remembered Chris.
"Not for the world…"
