You were walking in the sunset again without a hassle

In the interim, a princess was in another castle

Rolling different knocks, the first days and nights

I waved to Taylor and moved to take a seat at the bar. She had yelled something about dancing and mingling. It was hard to understand over the music. It was loud. The place was packed with people, so I moved my way to the bar.

“What can I get you?” The bartender called, flashing me a smile I’m sure he practiced in the mirror.

“Surprise me.” I yelled back, having no idea what drinks they had here. I wasn’t knew to alcohol. I had spent plenty a night with it curled up in bed after Terrance had bailed. But night club liquor? It was all new.

In the busy towns, if we hadn’t walked the same way

Well, I end up on your ground

He gave me a neon pink drink and I took a sip. It was sweet, almost sickly so. But it helped calm my nerves. I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Flash backs of what Terrance would have done to me if he caught me here flashed through my mind. I shook it slightly and finished my drink, ordering another one. After downing the second one I felt pretty good about myself, and just could not stop my body from moving to the beat.

There I was, none the wiser

Both of us, different trajectories

Who’d have thought we’d be right here in this spot

Timing is everything

Timing is everything

I smiled and let the music move me. A step here, a turn here. My hair was flying and my hips swaying. I hadn’t felt this free in years. It was amazing. I decided here that I would never let another man keep me from dancing or singing. My eyes flashed open as I felt someone near. Read hair and green eyes. They seemed familiar, but through my alcohol haze I couldn’t quite place them.

Seems impossible to time it out right when you get no hints

It’s a freaky world we live in, but tonight we got our moment

The familiar man mouthed something a long the lines of asking to dance with me. I just smiled and nodded, moving into step with him. He moved up closer to me and I swayed into him, closing my eyes again to let the beat fill my thoughts. He was a good dancer. He kept his rhythm and matched my swaying body, touching just enough.

At the end of one of the songs he took my wrist and pulled me off the dance floor. Part of me was a little sad, but another part, mainly my feet, knew it was time for a break. I let him pull me outside into the fresh air and I sat down on one of the chairs.

There I was, none the wiser

Both of us, different trajectories

Timing is everything

“Having a good time?” He asked, smiling down at me. I nodded and took a deep breath of the night air. It helped clear the haziness in my head a little bit.

“Yes, thanks for the dance. You do it well.” I paused, looking at him. “How do I know you?”

He look amused. “How much have you had to drink?” He asked, sitting next to me.

“Uhm, honestly, I don’t know. I remember ordering two drinks, but after that…I had to have had more. I can hold more than two drinks.” I studied him again, the changing light making it hard sometimes to see his face. “I met you at the fountain today!” I remembered.

He laughed, and I loved the sound. “Yes, you remember I see.”

I nodded, smiling. “Yes, but I probably will remember none of this tomorrow.” I state.

You don’t know

You’ve got to trust it will go

If you just roll with the punches, your guts, and your hunches

“You know, you probably shouldn’t be telling that to random people.” He said, looking at me.

“Yea, well, I trust you.” I smiled. A shadow crossed his face. I didn’t like that frown. I needed to get it off his face right now. “C’mere.” I said, pulling him up.

“What are yo-” He began.

There I was, none the wiser

Both of us, different trajectories

Timing is everything

I silenced him with a kiss. I pulled him in, closed my eyes, and leaned in. He was definitely a better kisser than Terrance ever had been. His tense body relaxed and he returned the kiss for a moment. Just a moment. Then he pulled away. I looked at him, and suddenly blushed, realizing what I’d done. Gnome, I was so drunk.

There I was, none the wiser

“Come on.” He said, his voice full of…of regret? I couldn’t tell. “You’re drunk. Let’s get you back to your hotel.” He took my wrist and lead me out of the club.
