Trust Me

Katy and I walked out of the bathroom and back into the neon glow of the main club.

“If you want to go home, I completely understand,” I shouted over the music.

She turned to me, her green eyes bright. “I feel great,” she said. “And I realize how completely insane that sounds after you were just holding my hair back so I could throw up in the trashcan, but whatever she gave me really helped.”

She looked down, as if realizing she was still holding the bottle of clear liquid.

“I wonder what’s in it?” I asked. “And what was in that shot to begin with?”

She shook her head and shrugged. “Hell if I know,” she said. “But the way I see it, we’re here, there’s music, there are a ton of hot guys on the dance floor, and there are still fifteen minutes left of your birthday. Let’s just have a good time and forget about the rest of it.”

She reached for my hand and I placed it in hers, smiling.

“Sounds good to me.”

“Just no more funky shots.” Katy laughed and together we worked our way through the crowd and onto the dance floor.

The buzz from the shot was still flowing strong in my system, somehow amplified by my anger earlier in the bathroom. And now that we were out here on the crowded dance floor with the strange lights and pounding music, my entire body began to hum with energy.

I looked around, at first feeling a little bit self-conscious around all these beautiful people. But then I started to lose myself to the music.

I closed my eyes, letting go of everything else but the vibrations running up through the floor and into my bones. My lips parted and the lights and energy seemed to flow straight into my mouth and through my soul. My blood pulsed with the rhythm of this place.

I had always considered myself a pretty good dancer, but tonight, I was electric. It was as if someone had plugged me directly in to one of the speakers and turned me on.

My body moved in ways I never knew were possible. Smooth and fluid. Sexy and sensual and confident.

The taste of the cinnamon-flavored shot lingered on my tongue, warm and slightly sweet.

I pulled my long black hair up, letting the air blow across the back of my neck. Every one of my senses was amplified.

That’s when I felt him watching me.

A darkness washed over me, dread pooling in my stomach. The sticky sweetness of the drink went sour in my mouth, making me long for water and fresh air.

His gaze passed like a shadow across my skin, pulling me into the dark places where no one would see me. No one but him.

I let my hair drop heavy down my back and opened my eyes. I didn’t stop dancing or try to draw attention to myself, but I no longer felt free. Sadness and fear pushed through me and I shivered.

Who is he?

I knew it was a man, even if I couldn’t tell you how I knew.
