We met at the "A Perfect Circle" concert. I never could listen to "The Noose" without tearing up. I looked up to see that I wasn't the only one. There she stood, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was just a little shorter than my six foot frame, with long, thick red hair contained in a single braid down her back; a few strands had come loose and were hanging around her perfectly shaped face. She wore a flouncy white pirate shirt, cinched at the waist with a laced up black corset. Her long skirt was made up of many multi-colored patches, and flowed around her in the most seductive manner as she swayed to the music. The very best part however, were the silent tears escaping from her jewel-like emerald eyes. I could tell she loved this music as much as I did, and in a crowd of drunken frat boys, this was a rarity. Thatβs one of the problems with living in a college town. I had to meet her. I started pushing my way through the throng of sweaty bodies, moving ever closer. She seemed to be there alone. Finally I was close enough that I could smell her subtle perfume, a mix of vanilla and some flower that seemed familiar yet I couldn't name it. The urge to bend and kiss her fragrant neck was nigh impossible to resist. My eyes traced the contour of her neck down to the tops of her smooth breasts peaking out from the low neckline of her shirt. Her chest heaved with heavy breaths in near orgasmic fashion. How I wished I could have the same effect on this beauty. I pictured her in my arms, mouths intertwined in passion. I moved again to stand next to her, my arm slightly brushing hers. She glanced up at me and smiled, before turning back to watch the god performing on stage. Nothing could have been more hypnotizing than that smile.
As the song ended she looked at me again and wiped the tears from her eyes. Leaning in close to my ear she said, "It's just so beautiful, I cry ever time."
"So do I." I replied, thrilling that she was actually talking to me.
"My name's Yvie." She said.
"I'm Bianca, but my friends call me 'Ankh'." I pointed to my necklace of the same shape as my strange nickname.
She smiled again, "I like that."
We spent the rest of the concert dancing together and singing along. After three more songs, and two encores, the band left the stage, and the crowd started to filter out. I knew I couldn't let her leave without getting her number. I had to see her again!
"Um, would you like to go get some coffee or something?" I asked.
"Actually I'm meeting some friends for a party tonight."
"Oh." I tried not to look crushed.
"I'm sure it would be no problem if you'd like to come as my guest." She quickly replied.
"Are you sure? That would be great. I'd hate to just home to bed after all this excitement."
"Great," she smiled that perfect smile again, "We'll have to take the subway, I don't have a car."
"No problem, we can take mine."
I had to force myself not to skip through the parking lot. Things could not be going any better. Here I was alone with this angel. What a perfect day.
It was a quick drive to the party, maybe ten minutes. Things were already in full swing. The rather small house was packed with people. One guy had set up a rather impromptu DJ table, with a multi disc CD player and a large stack of some great music. There must have been a pretty good bar in one of the other rooms, as a wide variety of drinks were floating around. A rather gothic looking man with long black hair moved towards us through the crowd with two White Russians as offerings.
