tonight is the night i can get lucky. you see, mike, carl and i are going to a bar in downtown. mike is my best friend and carl is my huge crush since day one. they picked me up from my apartment and drove the streets of downtown Atlanta. oh by the way, carl drove 6 hours from Raleigh God knows i really missed him, and mike, well, i slept with him but he wants us to be friends nothing more. mike's got a girlfriend of 7 years but she is too far right now. and no, carl didn't know i slept with mike. i'm still hoping this could turn into something magical between carl and i. we arrived around 11:30pm, and the place is packed and just plain smokin'. carl sees a friend of his and he hang out with him for a bit for some small talk. mike offered to buy us drinks and he started drinking and smoking away his thoughts as i danced and grooved to the loud music. i just want to dance like Alanis did in her videos, series of jumps and sways. i know i don't dance well but mike whispered to my ear i looked sexy, maybe he is a bit high at the moment. i touched his arm and asked him to dance with me but mike is not the type of guy who dances to music. he's the kind of guy who'd hum to music's melody and inadvertently make his lips irresistable to kiss. gosh i knew i loved him right there but i have to bury all my feelings and stick to this role i decided to play, a good female friend of his. i can't remember what kind of music was playing, i just continued to dance like Winona did in reality bites. then suddenly carl came out of nowhere, a drink in his hand and started dancing with me. i suddenly remember how drawn i am to carl. he's growing a cute goatee that im sure would tickle me on our potential first kiss. he's got a sexy move that goes well with the music. i can smell his sweat as our bodies move together... he smiles and keeps his eyes locked with mine as we lose ourselves to the music. then at one magical moment, he became all blurry and im sure a kiss from him would seal the deal and make me forget mike. but in the corner of my eye, i saw mike on his way outside, i dont know what came over my heart as i slightly pushed carl to follow mike and his cigarette smoke trailing behind him. and there he is, in all his aloofness and coolness - looking at the moon glaring at us two confused souls lost in love and loneliness. mike says he wants to be left alone with his cigarettes, he said, his eyes carefully avoiding mine. so i went back in and saw carl still smiling at me, on his defeat he still danced with me but gone is the moment of love i know ill never have from any of them. and so the night passed i became unlucky. |
