with half of a smile.
Even though the club was dark, I could tell that Lake’s cheeks were flushed. She took her shot and then looked at me, “Where’s Kesha?”
I nudged my head in the direction of the dance floor.
Lake pulled out her cell phone and frowned, “I’m going to try to find Denise. I think she’s having trouble finding the place.”
I nodded as she walked off leaving Amir and me alone again. A song I never heard before played and everyone in the club erupted. Amir came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I gasped in response to his strong arms around me. I didn’t know if I should blame it on the liquor, or the unprescribed medication, but I turned around and kissed him on the lips. His startled lips took a few seconds to respond but when he did, everything inside of me felt like I’d just been lit on fire by a match.
When I pulled away from him, I burst into embarrassed laughter except I wasn’t embarrassed enough to regret the kiss. I hadn’t kissed a man other than Rick like that since I was 18, and I never felt so alive in my life. His lips tasted like Dos Equis, but at the moment it was the sweetest taste I’d ever been lucky enough to get a sample of. I stood on my tippy toes in the six inch spiked shoes and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again. This time I wanted him to feel my passion.
It was his turn to pull away from the kiss. He looked at me with confusion embedded in his beautiful face and said, “What was that all about? You drunk, Ma?”
I was. In fact, I was very drunk, or high. Or both. I didn’t know or care. All I knew was I felt like I was floating and I loved the way his lips tasted. I smiled at him hoping the smile didn’t look as goofy as it felt. I shook my head no although that was a complete lie.
He offered me half of a smile in response and said, “You sure about that?”
“I like you, Amir,” I blurted out with no regard. “And I want you.” Even in my drunken state, I knew I’d regret saying that in the morning. But I didn’t care about any of that because I did want this beautiful man. Badly.
He gave me a look that I couldn’t describe. He draped his arm around my shoulder and rocked his head to the beat of the song playing. I had to admit the beat was infectious and before I realized it, I’d grabbed Amir’s hand and began walking downstairs onto the dance floor. At first he was hesitant, but once we were on the dance floor he gave in and I was grinding on him like I’d known him longer than I really had. I inhaled the sweet yet manly, smell of his cologne and thought how I hadn’t smelled anything so sexy before in my life. The intoxicating smell of his cologne made my head swirl. For a split second, my mind went to Rick and what he was doing but then I looked back at the gorgeous, tall, green eyed, man I was dancing with and the thought of Rick evaporated.
When 2am hit and the lights came on inside of the club, I had to fight to keep my eyelids up. I looked around for Kesha and Lake but hadn’t seen either of them since they’d left the VIP section hours ago.
Amir seemed to read my mind when he said, “Where’s your homegirls?”
I shrugged my shoulders and dug inside my clutch for my cell phone. As soon as I unlocked it I saw a text from Kesha, I had to take Lake’s drunk ass home, she got sick. Sorry! But I’m sure that fine ass Amir would LOVE to take you home. ☺
“They left,” I mumbled.
“They left you?” Amir’s facial expression matched how I felt. He pulled my body close to him and it made my legs turn to jelly. “How far do you live from here? I’ll take you to ya’ crib.”
I would like to think it was the liquor mixed with Lake’s pills that made me look up into his beautiful hazel-green eyes and say, “What if I don’t wanna go home?”
He wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked toward the exit of the club. Before we walked out he made sure he was looking me directly
