I see Tyler relax a little bit. He’s so into her, I know it. I’m wondering why they’re not going for it though.
We get to the bar and head inside, we get let in straight away, even though it’s busy tonight.
Its packed in here, it smells of alcohol, cheap perfume and sweat. I’m used to nights like this, but I’m not normally on the other side of the bar, it’s fun and scary at the same time.
Tyler walks off to his group of friends, leaving us be.
“Let’s get a drink.” Danielle yells to me, pulling my hand to follow.
“Can we get two wet pussy shots please?” She yells to Jared, the bartender working tonight.
He brings them out to us and yells. “Your night is on the house ladies, every staff member gets at least one night on the house and you guys haven’t had one yet. Have fun!”
We both yell our thanks and do the shots.
An hour later, the bar is pumping—more like a club then a bar. We end up on the dance floor, where bodies surround us.
Dani and I are dirty dancing together when a group of guys come to dance with us, we’re feeling drunk and flirty, so we let them.
One of them moves behind me, and I start to grind my ass against him. Dani is doing the same with the guy behind her. It’s just a bit of harmless fun.
Dani turns around and he starts kissing her. He looks like an Amazon version of Tyler, if I’m being honest. But good on her.
I turn to face my guy. He’s kinda cute. But I’m too drunk to hook up, I just want to dance.
He leans down to kiss me, and I freak out a little bit.
I’ve only kissed two men the last few years, and it came so naturally to kiss Lucas. But this, I don’t want this. It actually makes me feel a little bit sick.
I take a step back out of his embrace and put my hand up to sayno.
He nods in understanding. As he starts to walk off, I’m pushed over by the crowd, falling straight back into him.
He catches me,thank gosh, but I turn around to see Tyler punching the guy that Dani was with.
What the fuck did I miss? Dani is staring at Tyler in shock.
“TYLER! WHAT THE FUCK?!” I scream, moving to stand in front of him, before he can do it again.
He turns to look at me, shakes his head a bit, like reality just hit him. He runs his hands through his hair then over his face.
“I need to leave. You guys okay?” He says.
“Werefine.Just go! Before you get kicked out!”
He gives a sad look towards Dani before walking out. She just stares at him, not saying anything.
“What the fuck was that?” I grab her arm.
“I dunno… That guy kissed me, then next minute he was pulled away and Tyler was there. I dunno.” She shrugs and I nod.
I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what just happened either. I’m a bit too drunk to understand right now.
“Do you wanna leave?” I ask.
She shakes her head. “Nooooo, noooo. I wanna stay, I want to keep dancing with you! Doyouwanna go?”
“Not really.” I would go if she wanted to, I still feel a bit icky aboutthat guy, but I do want to stay and dance with my best friend. “Let’s get another drink.”
