Drunken Meanderings
Alaricâs claiming of me almost ruined my night. I was also upset I never found Lizzie at the clubâBreas screwed that one up. Eventually, the music and the hyped-up energy of the crowd wore me down, or softened meâIâm not sure whichâbut either way as the night wore on I didnât feel so angry and mistreated anymore.
It was around that same time that Scott began delivering beers, to me first, and then to Alaric and the other band members. Heâd âsneakâ across the stage on tiptoe with a stupid-ass grin and deliver a half-empty pint because he either drank most of it or spilled it along the way. Heâd curtsy to the crowd once he successfully delivered the beer. Theyâd congratulate him with whistles and cheers. Heâd bashfully wave his hand at them in an âaw shucksâ way before sneaking back across the stage, always managing to walk in front of Alaric. Alaric was good natured about it. He didnât go all diva at Scott for taking away from his performance. Actually, he seemed to enjoy the diversion. The first time, he shook his head, silently laughing at him as he sang. Soon after, they began verbally exchanging greetings and thank yous and whatâs ups. Then the fist bumps startedâtheir friendship accelerating at a rapid pace. When the two embraced, the crowd went wild.
When Scott wasnât delivering drinks or polishing off his own, he spent his time dirty dancing with Maria, leading more with his boy parts than his brain, which was very unlike him, but Maria didnât seem to mind. She just kept dancing with him, only stopping when he left for another pint, which was quite often. It was at those moments when she interested me the most. Heâd leave for the bar, and sheâd stop moving. She didnât even sway to the music even though everyone around her was dancing. She acted as if it was the very last thing she wanted to be doing with her time, but as soon as Scott returned, sheâd take the drink offeredâif there was oneâand start dancing again. It was all very methodical and didnât sit right with me at all.
Donât get me wrong. Scott was happy, and thatâs all I wanted for him tonight, but something seemed off with Maria, and I was determined to find out what.
I tried reading her again, sending out signals but getting nothing. Nada. Zip. Not even the impressions I had earlier in the evening. It frustrated me to no end. I really thought that my mind-reading ability would strengthen when I stopped drinking the tea, but it didnât seem to. Or the beer dulled all my senses, which was unfortunate in the current situation. Clarissa needs to teach me her tricks of blocking someone from reading their mind so I can find a loophole to reading every mind I desire.
It wasnât difficult to guess what Alaric was thinking. He loved being onstage, performing for his fans. And we were all fans. At
