William
I've never been much of a dancer, but I know Rose loves it, so I let her drag me onto the dance floor. My eyes admire her perfect toned body along the way. She's wearing a brown backwards hat, a black crop top and tight blue jeans that show off her curves. We landed in Miami a four hours ago, so we decided to check out the resort club. This trip is a vacation for Rose, but business for me. My company had me fly down here to attend a training seminar. I decided to bring my girlfriend along and make a little trip out of it.
Rose and I have been together for three years now. We were both born and raised in Maryland, although never crossed paths until we both ended up moving to Massachusetts to attend Boston University. We met while in university, both of us Juniors at the time. The first time we crossed paths was at a local club a few blocks down from our dorms when she dragged me onto the dance floor. She's a very extroverted person, while I'm more introverted. I like to think that helps balance us out. While I try my best to make the most out of the time we share alone, she helps me get more comfortable with social situations and stuff I normally wouldn't do by myself.
I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design and currently work at a tech company. Rose got a degree in Journalism. She works as a Digital Marketer for a startup fashion company, helping with designing their ads and social medias.
Rose is the most beautiful women ever; And yes, I'm a little bias. She's 5'5 with golden blonde hair, sultry brown eyes, and a perfect toned body with curves in all the right places. My friends always joked that she's out of my league. I'm 5'8 with an average build, scraggly hair, and stuck with a baby face since I can't grow a beard for the life of me.
The club is a buzzing hive of activity, filled with the kind of people you'd expect to find in Miami - tanned, beautiful, and dressed to impress. The air is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and even more expensive liquor.
Rose and I squeeze through the crowd, her hand firmly in mine. I'm not usually one for these kinds of places, but seeing her face light up as she takes in the scene makes it worth it. She's like a kid in a candy store, her eyes wide with excitement.
I let her lead the dancefloor, mimicking her movements and letting her take control of my body. She grabs my hands and spins around, laughing as she does. Her laughter is infectious, and I can't help but join in. This is what I love about her - her ability to find joy in every moment, to live life without a care in the world.
After a while my legs start to get tired, so we grab a table to sit at. I flag down a waitress and order us a couple of drinks. She's usually a cocktail type of girl, but tonight she settles for beers. They arrive quickly and it's not long before we down ours. After I take the last sip of mine, I turn back to Rose and notice her gaze fixed across the room. Following her line of sight, I see a group of men, all dressed in suits, sitting at a nearby table. They're watching us, or rather, watching Rose.
"Do you think those guys are checking you out?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. Rose laughs, waving her hand dismissively. She smiles, unfazed. "Let 'em look," she says, taking a sip of her drink. "We're on vacation, remember? Time to have a little fun." She winks at me, taking a sip of her drink.
"Well, you are." I mumble.
But as the night goes on, I can't shake the feeling that there's something more to it. Every time I glance over, one of them is looking at us, or rather, looking at Rose. And when I catch their eye, they don't look away like most people would. Instead, they raise their glass in a silent toast, a smirk playing on their lips.
After a couple more rounds on the dance floor I'm ready to head back to our room. I lean over to tell Rose when suddenly I notice a figure approach us. I look up to see a tall older man dressed in a suit. He has short rough hair, and you could tell he is absolutely ripped the way his suit hugs his body. I quickly realize it's one of the dudes from the group who had been eyeing us up all night.
"Buenas noches," he says to me, flashing a charming smile. "I couldn't help but notice your lovely companion tonight. I am Carlos." His accent is thick, rolling off his tongue like velvet. He extends a hand towards Rose, who takes it gracefully.
"And what might your name be, beautiful?" he asks, his voice smooth as honey.
Rose smiles, introducing herself with a confidence that makes me proud. "Hi there, I'm Rose. And this is my boyfriend, William." She gestures towards me, and I nod in greeting. Carlos's eyes flicker to me briefly before returning to Rose.
"Ah, William," he says, as if testing the name on his tongue. "It's a pleasure to meet you both. I couldn't help but notice how radiant Rose looks tonight. You two are on vacation, yes?" He pulls out a chair and sits down, making himself comfortable at our table even though we didn't invite him. I raise an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by his boldness, but Rose seems to eat it up.
She nods, crossing her legs and leaning in slightly. "Yes, well I am. William is here for business. We just arrived today. It's our first night here."
Carlos leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers under his chin. "I am on a business trip as well. Although most the actual work finished yesterday, so now me and my companions are letting loose before we fly back. Booked an extra week here just to enjoy life, you know?" He explains.
Rose and I both nod our heads.
Wow
.
I can't imagine having the luxury to take off a week just because I felt like it. These guys must be loaded!
"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay. Miami has many things to offer." Carlos looks towards the dance floor. "Say William, you wouldn't mind if I steal your girl for a quick dance, would you?" He asks casually.
I don't know how to react. I'm stunned that he would ask that. I know I'm not a dancer, and sometimes I let my friends dance with her if they ask. But they're my friends, this guy is still just a stranger to us. But for whatever reason words slip out of my mouth. "Sure." I speak.
Carlos extends his hand out towards Rose. She looks at me, smiles, then takes his hand and he leads her to the dance floor.
