Chapter 6 – Dancing

Tom POV:

This was the longest time I've ever spent on picking out clothes to go clubbing. I finally picked out a black shirt, and some baggy jeans. Bill, Gustav, and Georg were going out to get a movie tonight so I had time to escape from them. I didn't tell any of them about Kari or clubbing tonight at all. Oh well.

Kari POV:

I ended up wearing a really short, black and red plaid skirt with a black tank top and a loose studded belt. I had long socks on and my classic black converse. I was hoping that I didn't look too flashy because Julia dressed me up. She liked wearing mini skirts and tank tops. I don't mean that she looked bad, but I might. I don't think I match these kinds of clothing.

For makeup, I put on some fake eyelashes and added black liquid eyeliner above them. Then I put a midnight black eye shadow. It made my eye color look lighter than it was. I decided not to wear blush because it made me look too pink. Lastly, I applied some light red lip gloss that belonged to Jaymie. I stared at myself in the full-length mirror. Not too bad, I thought to myself.

My hair was usually a frizzy fur ball when it dried after I took a shower. Using my straightener I curled all of my hair and straightened my bangs. It actually turned out okay, and I didn't have to spray hairspray on it. Julia bought me a cute little bow a while back and I decided to wear it tonight. Luckily, I brought my Harajuku perfume and sprayed it on. I hope it wasn't too much.

Jaymie, unlike me, wore some cute, black sequined pants and a dark purple shirt exposing a little of her back. She looked great with the dark purple eye shadow, and black liner lining her pretty, light brown eyes. She also didn't put any blush on, and she had on some clear lip gloss. Jaymie's hair was a little frizzy, but she straightened them. Overall, she was very pretty.

Taylor came out of the bathroom and she looked stunning. She was wearing a red long sleeved shirt with a black vest, and tight black jeans. She was wearing black high heels. Her dirty blonde hair was naturally straight and emphasized with the colors she was wearing. Her makeup was simple. Taylor only put on black eyeliner around her eyes, blush, which made her cheekbones stand out, and clear lip gloss.

Lastly was Julia. She wore a cute, but short leopard dress with a bow above her stomach. I love that dress. It was very pretty! To match the clothes, she wore some really high heels that were brown. Her hair was crimped and she wore dark brown eyeliner, and eye shadow. Her lips were a glossy red. She pulled it off. Only Julia could wear this and still look pretty.

There was a knock on the door. I went to the door and opened it and there was Tom, looking handsome in his shirt and baggy jeans.

Tom POV:

My mouth literally dropped when Kari opened the door. She was so beautiful; I couldn't take my eyes off of her. The rest of the girls came behind her and they all were hot, but Kari stood out.

"You guys ready?" I managed to say.

"Yeah we are." Kari answered.

They all followed as Kari walked beside me.

Kari POV:

I was walking beside Tom and when we were in the elevator; his hand went around my waist and pulled me to him. I was a little surprised, but I couldn't protest. He led us to his car and I sat in the front seat.

Tom started conversation. "Do you girls like dancing?"

"I love dancing!" Julia confessed.

"Was (What) about you, Kari?" He asked me.

I was the worst dancer ever. "Well…um…what about you?" I tried to avoid his question. It worked.

"I'm not the best dancer, but I do like dancing." We both laughed.

"Which club are we going to?" Taylor asked from the back seat.

"A well-known one in Germany. Almost there."

Tom parked in the parking lot and the guards at the entrance immediately let us in after seeing Tom. They didn't even ask for I.D. I remembered that in Germany, the legal age to drink was 18. No wonder they let us in. Of course I wasn't going to drink though.

We sat at a table while Tom went and talked to the singer of the band playing here. An upbeat English song came on and Tom came back.

"Want to dance?" He asked me.

"Um…To tell you the truth…I can't dance." I told him.

"Liar. Komm und (come and) dance with me." He said half in German and half English. Before I could argue, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my chair. We were in the middle of the dance floor, and one of his hands supported my back while the other held my hand. I was pinned against him because there were so many people around us. It was really crowded. I felt a hand go up my skirt and I found that it was Tom! Immediately, I let go of him and I tried to pull away. To my relief, I succeeded and he let go.

"I don't feel comfortable."

"Sorry." He apologized.

A slow song came on and I was about to go back to our table when he caught my hand. "Sorry" He repeated. "I didn't mean it that way."

"Are you kidding? You almost molested me." I joked.

He laughed, and then wrapped his arms around me. Somehow, instinctively, I coiled mine around his neck and my face was buried in his chest. I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent. I felt something brush my hair; it was his lips.

Tom leaned back and we looked into each other's eyes for a moment. He tilted his head and came closer to me. Almost automatically, he closed his eyes. Sensing what was going to happen, I tentively closed my eyes too. The next thing I knew, warm, soft lips were pressed against mine. I felt his lip ring, but it didn't make a difference. My first kiss with Tom Kaulitz was wonderful. I sensed every good emotion coming to me, happy, excited, eagerness. My lips opened with his and I felt as if we were the only two left on the dance floor.

We parted our lips and gasped for air. He pecked my mouth two more times, then said, "It's late. We should get back."

I looked over at the table and saw Jaymie almost falling asleep. Taylor was talking to a guy who seemed interested in her, but she didn't seem to be interested in him. Julia was still dancing with some random guy. Did we dance that long? It only seemed like seconds. I didn't know what time it was until Tom said, "Wow. It's 1:28 a.m. already."

"One? We have to go back. It's very late. I'll get Julia. Can you help carry Jaymie to the car, please? She's a heavy sleeper."

"Okay. We'll be in the car."

I found Julia and told her that we were going. She was still so energetic and hyper. After, I got Taylor and she got that guy's phone number.

"I'm totally not going to call him." She said disgusted.

"Save the number. Maybe we can prank call him sometime." I said. We both laughed at that.

"This place is the bomb!" Julia exclaimed. Then she yawned.

"Calm down, you look tired." I told her. We made it to Tom's Cadillac Escalade and Jaymie was sleeping in the back seat. I looked at Tom and gave him a facial expression that said, 'thanks'. He nodded in confirmation. We all got into the car and everyone fell asleep except for Tom and me. One of his hands rested on mine as he drove silently back to the hotel.

We arrived. Taylor, Julia, and Jaymie were still sleeping so Tom and I went outside to open the doors for them. Tom called my name and I looked up. My eyes followed him as he walked to my side and took one of my hands. He looked straight into my eyes as he said, "You know, I really like you."

I felt so shy but I built up the courage in this moment to say to him, "I really like you too." He leaned forward and pressed his lips lightly on mine again. Then he smiled and went around the other side to open the car door. I smiled to myself and opened the car door on my side.

"Taylor. Julia, Jaymie. Wake up! We're at the hotel." I shook them gently and Taylor woke up first. She helped me wake Julia and Jaymie up and we all started walking inside. Tom was beside me, holding my hand. We took the elevator up to our room first because Tom's was on the sixth floor while ours was on the fifth.

"We should hang out again." Tom said. "If you guys want to meet the rest of Tokio Hotel, you can come over to our room tomorrow and we can play spin the bottle or something."

"Yes!" Julia said, wide awake now.

"Yeah, that'll be cool." I said.

"Our room is Room 610."

The elevator door opened; Julia, Jaymie, and Taylor quickly walked to our room. Tom and I were left alone. "So I'll see you tomorrow then." He said.

"Yeah."

"Hold on. One more thing." He gave me a third kiss, but on the cheek. "I really enjoyed tonight. Bye."

I blushed and watched him until the elevator door closed. I couldn't believe it. Tom told me that he liked me; really liked me, and he kissed me. It was surely a dream come true! I walked to our room and fell asleep on my bed. It was a long night.
