Even
after the fact, he could not seem to remove her eyes from inside
of his mind. He remembered arriving at the club with Laura and
immediately heading for the bar. He removed his heavy leather
jacket and passed it across the bar to a girl with a chubby face
on the other side.
He
wanted to start dancing immediately and grabbing Laura's hand,
he weaved his way into the crowd of dancers. The pulsating rhythm
was absorbed by his stomach, which sent the vibrations upwards
- towards his head causing it to bob up and down in rhythm with
the beat. All of the dancers in the room were facing the DJ but
he turned his back on them so that he could face Laura as he danced
with her.
He
began to bob his hips the way that his old girlfriend had taught
him. "You dance with your shoulders too much, you have to
dance with your hips more," she would say. He couldn't argue
because she looked pretty sexy when she danced whereas he looked
like a guy who doesn't feel comfortable dancing.
He
closed his eyes and counted "one-two one-two," trying
to establish a feeling of rhythm in his body. His eyes fluttered
and he caught a glimpse of a trio of what seemed like very attractive
girls in the corner. They were dressed in that more fashionable,
Apkujon-esque style which consisted of apparel that resembled
business attire. He felt that they were talking about him because
one of them leaned her head over to the other and pointed in his
direction. He turned his eyes away quickly and looked at Laura.
She was smiling at him and he smiled back at her.
Her
face was quite appealing in this club but he knew that sometimes,
when he examined her in the light, he could make out a forest
of imperfections in the regions directly under and above her eyes.
Her eyes themselves were cute when she smiled, but when her face
was emotionless they seemed awfully small and beady. He smiled
again and closed his eyes and tried to feel the rhythm: "one-two
one-two."
Soon, the trio was out of his mind and he was indulging in the
music. Gradually, his body began to feel tired and he told Laura
that he wanted to get a drink. She agreed and they headed towards
the bar. One of the girls from the trio entered the periphery
of his vision and he could not help but turn to look at her as
she walked past. She stared directly into his eyes with a slight
smile on her lips. Her eyes flickered with mischief and he found
himself turning away quickly, but still thinking about her eyes.
There was something peculiar about the way that they were shaped.
They were thin at the corners but very large and round in the
middle. They filled him with an odd type of excitement.
He
looked towards the bartender, who was helping another customer.
He strained his head and rotated it up and around, as if he was
stretching out his neck, and his eyes alit on the girl once again.
She was standing there, looking straight into his eyes. She had
straight black hair that fell onto her shoulders and perfectly
smooth skin. She had a small nose and above it were those exquisite
eyes.
A
smile creased onto his face and he turned his head away. He looked
up at the bartender and ordered his drink.
