It was a Friday night and I was putting my make up on as I was heading out to the club in town, Toxic, with some of my friends from university. I wasn't really that up for going out but if I was to get over Harry and move on, I had to go out and meet new people.
Later that night I strolled up to the bar to get myself a drink. The club was heaving. There were people everywhere, yet I felt quite alone. All my friends from university were either wrapped around their boyfriends or off stalking the people in the V.I.P. section.
"Vodka and coke please?" I asked the bar man. "Ill get that!" I heard someone say behind me as the barman returned with my drink. "Thanks but you don't have to do that" I tried to give the barman my money but the guy got there first. As he turned to face me, I recognized him as ruby's friend, John. He was a nice enough guy but widely recognized as a serious womaniser who tried to charm the pants off anything with a heartbeat.
"Oh hi John I didn't recognise you there, thanks for the drink ill get you back "
"Don't be silly when a guy sees a pretty girl all alone at the bar it is his duty to get her a drink" he said with a wide smile. I laughed. I wasn't really sure if he was joking or just overtly sleazy, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and presumed he was joking.
"So how are you? Is ruby here? I haven't seen her in ages!" he said while looking around for any sign of Ruby. "No I'm out with some of my friends from Uni. it's a bit of a random night tonight; I haven't seen any of the usual people that are out on a Friday."
The conversation continued from there, we ended up having a big long chat in one of the booths that were surrounding the dance floor. He was very flirty and was full of complimentary lines. I recognised when he was using a line on me but if im honest I could see myself falling for each and every one of them. The lights in the club turned on and I realised I had a message on my phone.
Message received From Danny: your mum says you're out. I'm bored where are you?
I quickly texted back saying that I was at toxic with my Uni. Friends, about to head home and that I would call him tomorrow.
John guided me towards the cloak room to get my coat. He rested his hand on my lower back, gently rubbing his thumb against my skin. Throughout the night I had become quite enamoured with him. I knew I would wake up tomorrow and not be in any way interested in him, he was the exact opposite of anyone I would be interested in going out with but the mix of alcohol, his constant complements and his flirty nature was making me very attracted to him. I guess when your heart is yearning for a certain person to act like that towards you, when someone does you can't help but at least temporarily fall for it. Even if it was only for one night, the feel of his skin slowly grazing against mine sent shivers up my spine. As the queue moved I gently leant back into him, he placed his hands on my hips then proceeded to place light airy kisses on my neck and shoulders. I felt my heart beat quicken and my breath was beginning to catch in my throat as i felt his warm breath on my skin. I found myself forgetting that there were hundreds of people around us. I felt like it was just the two of us alone in our own little world. The queue moved again slowly and he lightly guided me to the front and I collected my coat.
As we moved out of the queue and out the door John entwined his fingers in mine. The cold air from the night sky caught me off guard as we exited the club, goose bumps started to form on my skin and I shivered slightly. John led me towards the road. We stopped at the corner of the street.He slowly rubbed his hands up and down my arms attempting to warm me up. I stared at his face taking in every feature. He lightly brushed away the hair from my face so that he could see straight into my eyes. We stood there for a few minutes examining each other, and then he slowly moved forward and captured my lips in a warm sensual kiss .He pulled away slowly as my eyes flickered open once again. I recognised the look of lust in his eyes and before I knew what was happening his lips crashed against mine once again. I wrapped my arms around his neck, lightly running my fingers through the hair at the base of his neck. He placed his hands around my waist and gradually pulled me closer to him as the kiss became more and more passionate. Although it was slow and sensual it was filled with raw lust and passion. For those few minutes we were lost in each other but as we pulled away again, to recapture our breath, the moment was gone and soon after we were again just two acquaintances standing in front of one another.
As I moved away from him I glanced to the side of me and I saw Danny's car, inside Danny and Harry were staring at me.
