First Night's Dance By Anonymous

First nights dance

The night was warm

The dance club was hot

The tunes were steamy

I was…perspiring

I was….slightly intoxicated

I was….more than a little horny

I was dancing….alone

There were plenty of others on the dance floor

Swaying to the music

I swayed….alone

And she…. watched from the far side of the room

I swirled…I flexed…I held my arms over my head and spun slowly around

I kicked…I bent…I closed my eyes and dreamed to the music

My skirt flared out and twisted with the tunes

And she…. watched from a stool by the bar

I sang along with songs I knew

I hummed along with songs I didn’t know

I made up dirty lyrics to songs and whispered them to the room

And she…. watched and listened from her side of the dance floor

I tired and began to dance slower

My breath came ragged and I knew I should stop

I stopped and stood just listening to the music

And from behind me she said…can you manage just one dance more

I turned

I held out my hand

I held her in my arms

I pulled her tight against me

I breathed in her scent

I danced on air

I looked into her eyes

And she…. looked back into mine

We didn’t talk

We didn’t discuss

We didn’t decide

We turned and walked toward the door

And she… was mine
