I've been in the club for an hour or so. It's pretty dark. The body heat and heavy beats are making the atmosphere intense. I arrived with friends that I haven't known for very long. We've been out for dinner and then kicked on.
The music is good. Thumping hip hop breaks. Just my kind, and I've spent most of the time dancing. But it's time for a rest. Maybe another beer. I'm moving across the dancefloor towards the bar and then I notice you. It's almost like you have a spotlight shining on you because I can't really see anyone else in the room. Other guys are noticing you too. There's a kind of aura around you.
Maybe I'm not quite ready for that rest after all. I start dancing again, near you now. Finally you notice I'm there. I'm working my moves, getting into the rhythm, making sure you notice, but playing it cool. I close my eyes and try to just get into the music. When I open them I notice that you're looking at me. You quickly look away. I smile to myself. Here we go.
I work my way a little closer to you, both of us moving in time. I smile at you and you look away, pretending you didn't see. This makes me laugh. Then you look back at me, see me cracking up and you laugh too. We spend the next couple of tracks circling each other. You shaking your ass, me strutting around. It's like a mating ritual in the forest. Pretty hilarious really.
As we dance I steal glances at you. The short skirt, low-cut singlet... I'm liking what I see, ripe body moving beneath clothes. I'm just about to break the silence with some wise crack but suddenly you're pulled off the floor by your girlfriend, towards the bar. Ah well. This shit happens all the time in clubs. Time for that rest.
