Joe was surveying the crowd. His friends were all dancing, flirting or drinking. Joe had a drink in his hand, he was slowly drinking from it, but he was more interested in the people in the club. The music was loud enough so that he could barely think let alone hear anything anyone else was saying, and it didn't look like anyone else minded that. The people who came to a club like this weren't worried about finding their soul mate.
The crowd was mostly a hopping, jumping, gyrating mass of brightly colored clothing and flying hair and as people got closer and closer to being drunk you could see some of them on the outskirts of the dance area with a bit more flirty on their mind than could be dealt with here in public. As the night wore on he saw more and more couples sneaking out to the bathrooms, the private upstairs areas or out to their cars β they would come back in disheveled but happy looking and order more drinks.
Then he saw her. He was certain the age of admittance to this place was twenty-one, but she didn't look a day over eighteen. Her hair was in a simple pony-tail, she had little makeup on though her fingernails were brightly painted. Her whole stance was innocent and she laughed a lot with her friends. Wide-eyed, fresh, new. Maybe she snuck in at nineteen or twenty with her friends? Maybe she was still a virgin!
He finished off his beer and left the glass on the counter. He wiped his mouth, ran his fingers through his hair and went over to introduce himself. Maybe she wasn't traditionally "beautiful" but she was definitely attractive and he was drawn to her both as a man is to a woman and as a hunter is to prey. If she was a virgin, then that would change tonight!
Joe went close to her, but as she was in conversation he held back a step, just where she could see him and his dazzling smile but also courteous and not interrupting. He saw her looking at him more and more often and eventually she broke away from her friend and turned to face him completely.
"Hello!" she said, holding out her hand.
Joe, instead of shaking her hand, took it and kissed it. "Hello to you as well. Are you having a good time so far?"
She had blushed from her shoulders to her cheeks when he had kissed her hand in greeting and replied with an enthusiastic "Yes!" as he let her have her hand back.
"Would you like to go dance with me?" He asked.
"Eehhh, not really. The dance floor looks a bit crowded! And the music is so loud, how would we be able to get to know each other if we were jostled about in that mess?" Which was exactly what he had been thinking.
"There are a few open tables on the far wall there, we might be able to talk."
They made their way through the throng and found a small table in a corner that fit their needs. Joe and his companion sat down and ordered drinks.
"My name is Joe," he said.
"Amanda," she replied "Have you been here a lot?"
"Oh, I usually come with my friends to be their ride home. Today I'm on my own. Well, I was." Joe smiled, it was clear that he didn't mind not being alone anymore.
Amanda blushed again. She and Joe talked for an hour before the club wound up again. It was getting late, people were drunk, and the music got louder with each song. Joe leaned over the table and was almost yelling over the noise, "We should find someplace less ... active!"
Amanda nodded and stood up, Joe tossed some money on the table to cover the drinks and they went to find her friends. When they found them she told them she was going outside with a guy and unless she came back in not to worry about her. They smiled knowingly, Joe thought. Maybe he was right and she was off to catch her first fish! Oh, how he enjoyed the whole newness and shyness that came with virgins!
Once the door behind them closed it was like a knife cut the noise level down to a quarter of what it had been, though the base could still be felt under their feet. Luckily this club didn't open till everything else on the street was closed. What kind of business could run next door to this?
