A/N Own Nothing
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We arrived at a club downtown fairly quickly and went in. I wanted to take Jareth as early as possible so that it wouldn't seem too crowded when we got there. Didymus and Hoggle went to the bar and got a round of drinks for us. We spent the first hour sitting around a table sipping at drinks. I noticed that Jareth tried to stay as close to me as possible. Soon more people started to arrive and the music grew louder and all the girls wanted to dance.
Jareth looked unhappy as he said, "It's too loud in here."
"Well not everyone has some strange magical building where the volume is always perfect," I laughed. I figured that would be one of his complaints, but one that I sure he would be able to get over.
We all got up and moved to the dance area. Jareth and Hoggle sat down on the sides while our group danced in the area in front of them. Didymus still had one girl on each arm and was having a blast. I danced with the girls for awhile and looked over at the two wall flowers. I wondered why Hoggle wasn't dancing at least. Finally I decided that I was going to make them both have a great time.
I danced my way over to Hoggle and started dancing for him. I think I may have been a little more seductive than I should have been. I was actually looking very nice tonight. I had on a pair of jeans that I had ripped and made into Capri's and a low cut halter top. Hoggle watched me for a minute with a smile that was getting bigger every second. I held out my hand for him and waited for him to take it. I continued dancing while pretending to look sadder the longer he made me wait. Finally he got up and took my hand and we started dancing.
I found out really quickly why Hoggle was so reluctant to dance with me. Only a few steps and he tripped over himself and me. Finally I just held him still, put his hands on my waist and danced and told him just to sway a bit.
"I ain't a very good dancer," he said sadly. I just laughed and told him to just enjoy himself. I was having fun. I was hoping that Jareth would see how much fun we were all having and come and join us but he just watched me the whole time.
Didymus came up to me and asked me to dance with him. I felt bad about leaving Hoggle but as soon as I took a step away Karen and Nicole were on top of him just like when they were dancing with Didymus. Hoggle looked happy enough. Didymus was a great dancer. It took a lot of effort for me to keep up with him but I tried my best. At one point he spun me around and I lost control and another guy caught me.
The other guy looked with a big grin and started dancing with me next. I didn't mind. It was actually nice to have a break from the workout Didymus was putting me through. After a few minutes I glanced back to see him dancing with Valerie again. The only person without a partner was Jareth.
While I danced I watched the people around Jareth. A lot of girls were trying to attract his attention. They would come up to him and dance for him and try to pull him up. I got a little concerned when they tried to grab his hand or when they sat next to him and were practically drooling all over him. He didn't look angry but I started thinking that he was acting like I did at dinner. He was trying to pretend that he wasn't really there.
I continued to dance with the guy I just met. His hands wandered a bit too much for my liking but he didn't do anything really wrong yet and I tried to veer him towards my group so I knew that I would be safe if he tried anything. We must have danced like that for at least a half hour before I took another glance at Jareth. He was glaring at something. I hoped no one had pissed him off. I looked around and everyone was exactly where I saw them last. The guy I was dancing with pulled me in close and lifted up a bit grabbing my ass. I made a surprised squeal. I am not used to anyone just lifting me up like that it was kind of fun. Then I felt some hands tightly around my waist and spin me into their chest. I looked up and saw Jareth. How did he get here so quickly?
Jareth was glaring at the guy who was touching me and quickly pulled me away to the other side of the group. He held me tightly while he started dancing with me. I thought Didymus was a good dancer; that was nothing compared to Jareth. One big difference was I did not feel like I was doing anything. Jareth seemed to be almost carrying me through each movement. After a few minutes the glaring stopped and he smirked at me.
"I can't breathe." I choked out. He was holding me so tightly and it was starting to hurt.
He loosened his grip just a bit, "I did not like to see someone else's hands all over you."
"I am not your majesty's property." I joked. I was glad to see that he was starting to lighten up a bit.
"No, you are not." He continued to dance with me for almost the whole night.
"I thought the point of this was to find you a girlfriend. You are not going to find one if you keep dancing with me." I glanced around the room to see if any girls were available.
He sighed, "Do I really need to find a girlfriend? I like things the way they are."
I shrugged and thought for a moment. I guess if he wasn't looking I shouldn't push him. Then I smiled evilly at him. "Fine, if you don't want a girlfriend then you at least have to have a social life. You, me, Valerie, Hoggle, and Didymus are going start making a habit of going out."
He did not look thrilled at the idea, but he did not reject it. "Alright, if that is what you want. But might I suggest that we try a different location next time."
I nodded and continued to dance. As Jareth began to relax, I noticed that he would move further away from me. I guess he was just close earlier because he felt protective. I didn't want to go home, but it was soon 2:00 in the morning and we had to leave. The limo came to pick us up and we all staggered, tired and drunk, into it.
