~Mae Govannen! Sorry about the delay. I've been working on so much stuff lately that it's getting hectic. Anyway...here it is...~
Chapter 8~ Traffic Jams and Clubbing Jams
Eight people...two cars...perfection. All of Kayla's friends rode in Melinda's car, while she chose to drive her companions. "We'll meet ya at the club!" Kayla shouted as her friends got into the car. Melinda waved her hand out the window and sped off rather quickly. The club was about fifteen minutes away from Kayla's house anyway, so it wouldn't take them forever to arrive.
Kayla unlocked her car doors and got in. She then looked and saw Aragorn climb into the back seat. "Everybody in?" she asked after a few moments.
"No!" Gimli shouted in response as he stared at the vehicle. Kayla groaned when he and Legolas didn't get in. "Okay," she said as she opened her door and walked around to the other side of the car. She placed her hands on her hips and tapped her foot. "You guys coming, or what?" she asked.
"We want to...but we don't know what we're doing," Gimli said. Kayla groaned loudly again and opened up the doors. Gimli climbed in the back and Legolas took the passenger seat next to where Kayla would be. Kayla shut the door and then walked around to her side, shutting her door after getting in. She adjusted her mirrors and then looked behind to see that Aragorn and Gimli were buckled in. When her gaze shifted to Legolas, she saw him fumbling with the seatbelt. "Do you know how to do it?" she asked.
"No," the elf mumbled quietly. Kayla couldn't help but smile. It was quite amusing to see Legolas struggling with a seatbelt in a car. "Here, let me help," she said with a smirk as she leaned across Legolas' chest and grabbed the seatbelt. When her body brushed against his, they both felt something in the pit of their stomachs. Kayla felt somewhat flush, but kept her cool and buckled his belt before sitting in her own seat and doing the same. Legolas just stared at her endlessly. /What is she doing to me? / he wondered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The ride to the club felt much longer than it was supposed to. Aragorn and Gimli sat patiently, mostly talking. Silence fell in the front of the car. Legolas sat with his head looking out the window and Kayla concentrated on her driving. She finally saw the exit to get to the club. Unfortunately, about twenty cars were stopped in front of her. "Oh fuck," she mumbled as she stuck her head out the window. Someone's car had broken down in the distance and everybody just had to stop and look.
Kayla immediately blew the horn twice and yelled, "YO, are we gonna move or what? Nothing to see here! It's just a car broken down!" Her companions had all covered their ears when she had sounded the horn. "Damn you stupid people!" she shouted again as she sat back down in her seat and smacked the steering wheel. "That was rather loud," Legolas said, "Can I release the hold on my ears now?" Kayla smiled at the elf and laughed. She then turned the dial on her radio to listen to some music. A slow song ended and then a more upbeat song came on. "Oh, I love this song..." Kayla mumbled before cranking up the volume and singing the words. It was "More to Life" by Stacie Orrico:
"I've got it all, but I feel so deprived.
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside.
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing,
And why can't I let go."
Legolas listened to her voice intensely. It was quite good for a human. He had heard many elves sing and had gotten adjusted to how soothing their voices were. He also knew how women sounded...but Kayla's voice was more Elven than human.
"There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more."
Kayla began to tap her fingers on the steering wheel, forgetting others were in her car. She was about to continue until she noticed that her companions were listening. She abruptly went quiet and let the radio take over. "Keep going, lassie. It sounded great," Gimli stated. Kayla turned her head and smiled at the dwarf. "Thank you, Gimli...but I won't be singing anymore," she mumbled as her attention became focused on the cars moving in front of her. "But-" Legolas began.
"Oh, look...the cars are finally moving," Kayla said, cutting the elf off. She stepped on the gas and began to drive carefully again. Soon enough, they passed a green car that had broken down. The man inside was calling someone on his cell phone and Kayla shook her head. "People make such a fuss out of nothing." Legolas looked astounded. Kayla had known that there was a car down ahead, when they had to be at least five miles back. How could she have known about it? There was no way it would have been visible for her human eyes...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the club. When Kayla stepped out of her car, she saw her friends waiting at the door with their arms crossed. They were very impatient people when it came to having a good time. "Hey girls!" she shouted as she helped her companions out of the car and walked up to the door.
"What happened?" they all asked in unison.
"Some idiot's car broke down and slowed us up because stupid people have to stop and look at such a little thing."
"Well, enough of this crap already...let's just get in there!" Kat yelled. All of them entered except for Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli. Kayla immediately turned around and saw her companions standing wide-eyed. "Come on," she ordered.
"Why do you go to a place like this?" Aragorn asked.
"And dressed like that?" Gimli added.
"Because it's a damn good time...now come on!" Her voice was incredibly cheerful and a smile was plastered across her face. She held out her hand and Legolas took it. Aragorn then grabbed onto her other hand and Gimli brought up the rear, as if to keep her safe from orcs or something.
When they reached the main room, there were at least sixty people dancing around and drinking from the bar. Kayla's friends were all sitting in a booth in the corner, waiting for them. She dragged her companions across the floor and made it to the table with ease. Many of the women were checking Aragorn and Legolas out, but they were walking so quickly to keep up with Kayla, that they didn't even notice. "Kayla, what the hell took you so long?"
"Kat, have you even taken a look at the dance floor? It's kinda hard to even take a few steps without running into someone." Her friends took a look at the floor and then started laughing. Kayla was right about it. "Anyway, I think we need some drinks. Who's it on tonight?" Alyssa asked.
"It's on me tonight. I just got paid this week," Kayla said with a smile as she and her companions sat down, "What do you guys want tonight? I think I'm gonna order a Margarita."
"Sounds good...just get us a round of those," Melinda said, "What about you guys?" she asked, looking at Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli.
"Do they have any Malt Beer?" the dwarf asked.
"I'll check," Kayla said, as she turned her attention to Aragorn and Legolas.
"I'll take a beer as well," Aragorn said.
"I'll just have a glass of wine," the elf said. Every one of Kayla's friends gave him a questioning look. The idea of a man ordering wine seemed odd to them. Kayla couldn't help but notice the faint blush that reached the elf's face. "Ya know what...I'm feeling like wine myself," she said, "I'll be back with the drinks."
"Allow me to assist you, Kayla," Legolas said as he stood up with her and walked her over to the bar. Kayla ordered the drinks and then took a seat at the bar. Legolas stood next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. When she looked up at the elf, she saw a warm smile on his face. "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" she asked.
"Kayla, why did you back me up when I ordered wine?"
"I...I just changed my mind, that's all," the girl replied as she faced the bar again. The drinks were soon placed in front of them. Kayla grabbed four Margaritas and Legolas carried the two beers and two glasses of wine. They quietly walked back to the table and sat down. Everyone quickly grabbed their drinks and chugged them down.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Two hours and five drinks later, they were all laughing hysterically at the stupidest things. The only ones who were sober were Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli. They watched Kayla practically fall over when she told a joke. She was obviously drunk. "Anyone feel like dancing?" she asked. They all nodded and stood up, slowly making their way to the dance floor.
Legolas eyed Kayla worriedly. She was always on top of everything and was very stable. Now she was swaying her hips in an immoral fashion. Kayla led Legolas out to an empty space on the dance floor and began to dance. The elf just stood there astonished at her behavior. She was shaking her hips, her chest, and any other part of her body that she possibly could. When her eyes met Legolas', she realized that he looked somewhat angry. She grabbed his hands and continued moving her body to the techno music that was blasting. "You okay?" she asked.
"Why do you insist on dancing in such a manner?" he asked. They could barely hear each other in all the commotion, but they were able to understand each other. "It's fun, Legolas. Just try it!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"I refuse to dance like that," he said as he crossed his arms and stood firm. Kayla laughed and then turned around to see Gimli dancing like an idiot with her friends. He was jumping around and moving his hands back and forth (A/N: Like Eddie in Disney Channel's "That's So Raven"). "He looks like short biker," Kayla said as she glanced at Aragorn. He was trying to ballroom dance with Alana. "I don't want to know," she mumbled as she looked back at Legolas.
"That's dancing," he said as he gestured toward the ranger. Kayla shook her head and grabbed Legolas' hands, placing them at her waist. She then brought her body close to his and began shaking her hips. The elf didn't move his body. He just let his hands move with Kayla's hips. "Is that all you've got Leggy?" she asked.
"It's disrespectful to dance like this...and especially in your attire." Kayla suddenly whipped her body around and started to grind her behind against the elf. He froze. This was a gesture he certainly didn't expect from a girl like her. He then felt his hands being intertwined with hers and found his hands on her stomach. He was also beginning to feel somewhat uncomfortable in his lower half. Kayla kept up her dancing until that song ended. Everyone began clapping when it ended. Legolas released his hold on Kayla when she turned around and smiled at him. "Not bad for your first try," she said with a sly smirk.
"Well excuse me for having respect for women," he said with slight sarcasm. Kayla playfully punched him in the arm and began dancing to another techno song that came on. Gimli was still doing his "special dance" and Aragorn was beginning to get the hang of modern dancing with the help of Kayla's friends...though he did almost fall in the process. Legolas was starting to loosen up too. He let his hands wander around Kayla's curves, but his hands never touched her body. He suddenly felt someone bump into him.
"I'm sorry," he said as he turned his head to see the person. She was about five foot four inches tall, had brown eyes, and extremely short black hair with a purple tint. Her clothes covered only the vital parts of her body with pink and purple see-through clothes. She just stared aimlessly at him until her eyes met Kayla's. "KIKI!" Kayla yelled as she embraced her friend.
"What up, Kay?" she asked as she released her.
"Not much...you?" Kayla asked.
"Noth...ing..." Kayla noticed that Kiki had cut herself off and was staring at Legolas again. She knew this was gonna be trouble. "Orli, is that you?" Kiki asked in a high-pitched voice.
"Who?" the elf asked. He was obviously lost. "Oh, don't be so modest," the girl said as she tackled him to the ground and nuzzled her face against his neck, "I'm so glad to finally meet you."
"Um...Kayla..." Legolas said with a pleading look.
"Okay...Kiki, off! It's not Orli," Kayla said as she pried her friend off of the elf with the greatest of difficulty.
"But, he has to be Orli. He looks just like him?"
"Well, it's not Orlando!"
"Then who is he?" Kiki asked as she jumped up and down. Kayla nodded her head and placed her hands on her friend's shoulders. "Do you promise not to tell?" she asked. Kiki nodded. "Okay...this is Legolas Greenleaf," Kayla whispered.
"You're lying, Kay. Legolas is a character that we wish existed." Kiki followed her friend's gaze and her mouth dropped open when she saw Aragorn and Gimli dancing. "What...you...how...what...how is this possible?" she asked.
"How should I know? One day I make a wish to meet Legolas and the next thing I know...he's here."
"He could just be an actor," Kiki said.
"Really? Then what about this?" Kayla asked as she lifted up one side of Legolas' hat to reveal a pointed ear. Kiki reached out and touched it slowly, which caused the elf to shiver. "Okay, that's enough of that," Kayla said as she pushed the hat back down over his ear.
"Now that you know me, may I have your name, my lady?" the elf asked.
"It's Kiki," the girl replied as she extended her hand for Legolas to shake. To her surprise, the elf kissed it and made her face turn tomato red. She began giggling like a little school girl and Legolas released his gentle hold on her hand. "Well, we're gonna keep dancing," Kayla said as she embraced her friend once more.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Lady Kiki. I'm sure we will become great friends if we meet again." She could only nod and smile, for no words would escape her lips. When Kayla turned back to Legolas, a slow song came on. She wrapped her arms around the elf's neck, but he reached up and took them off his shoulders. "What are you doing?" she asked as he took one of her hands and placed it on his shoulder while he held the other one gently. Kayla had no idea what she was doing and left it all to him.
The elf began to rock back and forth in circles. Kayla just gazed up into his blue eyes as he twirled her around in small steps. She continued to glance back and forth from his face to the hand that held hers. She felt as if she had finally reached Cloud Nine. This man...this elf...was treating her differently from all others and it felt good. His touch was extremely comforting and made her feel safe. This is one night she was always going to remember.
