The Spark

Ciara

I love this club. It always fits my moods. We came here tonight to dance and this floor is perfect for that. I’ve been ignoring the guys that keep trying to catch my eye all night… however, now that Teagan has gotten tipsy, we are heading to the dance floor. I know they’ll come now. Three hot girls dancing, even though Dans tags along, it never stops them. We get to the middle of the dance floor and start dancing. Not even two minutes later, I feel a hand on my hip. I turn around and there is this older guy who is several inches shorter than I am and has no rhythm at all. Ekk! I smile politely and turn back to my girls. Teagan glances over, catches my eye and works her way around me to slide in between us and subtly get rid of him. We do this every time, it’s always a look and the other lets the guy down gently, most of the time without them even realizing it, though it is easier to do when the club is packed, like tonight.

After a few songs, we head to the restroom while Dansby goes to get another round of drinks. We laugh about the guys that have tried us tonight and give Michele s**t for having the greatest guy here as always. Lucky girl. Regan gets quiet for a few minutes, which is not normally like her when she’s drunk, so I turn to look at her, “What’s wrong?” She looks over at me, “I thought I felt a spark earlier but nothing since, I just thought… nevermind, that’s probably Jack talking.” She turns and stumbles slightly. I catch her and we giggle. Teagan wants what we all want. That spark, that one true love that has you drawn to each other like moths to a flame. She’s the romantic at heart out of all of us though and has always chased after that spark like her parents had.

Once Teagan leaves to go help Dansby while Michele finishes up. Once we leave the restroom, I run slap into a wall. A tall, dark and handsome wall of muscle and almost fall if it wasn’t for his hands reaching out to catch me by the waist. I look up into a pair of green eyes that melt my panties instantly. “Whoa there, are you okay?” Nope. Not at all. I need that mouth on me right now. “Yes, thank you. I really need to watch where I am going… or not.” He laughs. “Can I buy you a drink?” “Thanks but I’ve got one at the table already with my friends.” Unfortunately. Then he says, “Well then, I'll buy the next round. I’ll come find you shortly for a dance.” And with that, he disappears.

Sure enough, once we finished our drinks, another round appeared. “Compliments of Mr. Green Eyes over there,” she says to me. As soon as I turn around, he takes me by the elbow and escorts me out onto the dance floor. A few steps from the middle, he spins me around so that my back is to him and begins to move against me. Hmm. He does have some rhythm. That’s a plus. He’s taller than I am, around 6 foot if I had to guess. “So is the beautiful lady going to tell me her name?” he asks. Play it cool Ci. “Ciara, and you are?” “My name is Jake. It’s a pleasure to meet you Ciara.” “Likewise.” He takes his hands and runs them down my arms to my hips as I grind against him. I can tell he is getting turned on. He pulls me closer to him and kisses my neck. “Hmm, so sweet,” he says, “I’d like to continue this another time.” Wait, what? I turn to him and see that two guys are standing nearby trying to get his attention. “Ciara, these are my friends, Carter and Riles.” I tell them hello. Carter smiles at me then says, “Jake, we have to go. Jason just got kicked out.” Jake looks at me with regret. “Let me hold your phone.” I hand it to him and he punches in his number and hits send. Once the call comes through, he ends the call and smiles. “I’ll be in touch, Beautiful.” He leans in and kisses me with the most mind blowing kiss I’ve ever had. I whimper as he pulls away. He caresses my cheek for a minute then turns and leaves.

After I regain my senses, I head back to the table. Teagan is there chatting with one of the academy’s dancers, Trisha. “Hey, no work while we play.” Teagan smiles at me. “It’s not work, Trisha’s friend abandoned her for a guy. She’s just hanging.” Damn, that’s got to suck. This is why I am so thankful for my girls. We made a pact long ago that we always stick together when going out and no one has ever went back on it. “Oh well, I’m ready to head home. It’s been a long week.” Teagan looks at me like I’ve grown a second head. “Ms. Sleep When I’m Dead wants to call it a night at 10:30? Are you ill?” She leans over and checks my temperature. I roll my eyes and grab both of their hands to pull them back to the dance floor. "Let's go break some more hearts then!" I yell over the music. They laugh. We dance until our feet hurt and the bar announces last call. After that, we all switch to water for our last couple of drinks and head to the truck. Dansby, our designated driver.. told you he was the best, takes us all home and I crash seconds after climbing into my bed with sweet, hot dreams of tonight and the hotness that is Jake.
