button1->Text = S"DANCE!"
I've mentioned before that I love to dance (I've been told I'm slightly good at it too), R also thoroughly enjoys dancing and since her boyfriend hates dancing (and going out in general) she usually takes me.
On Friday night I went out drinking and dancing with R for her birthday. I ended up doing a little too much of the drinking and not quite enough of the dancing. J was also with us and he's been down in the dumps recently (woman related, what else?) so I convinced R to spend most of the night dancing with him.
Saturday night I was invited to a BBQ and I gladly accepted (fat kids never turn down free food). I had a couple of beers but I stopped there since the experience of the previous night had left me a little gun shy, which was probably for the best. After a rousing game of Pictionary, in which the opposing team never even got a chance to take a turn, the consensus was to once again go out drinking and dancing. When we arrived I had one more beverage and then promptly cut myself off. In short order we were out on the dance floor, there were six or seven of us all dancing together. One by one people started peeling off from the group to go get drinks or see other people and eventually I was left alone on the dance floor with K. K is a very attractive woman, and is reasonably nice, but is usually quite reserved. Saturday night was the first night I've ever danced with her.
That woman can dance.
I feel I need to say that again so that you get the full emphasis of what I'm saying.
That woman can dance.
I'm not sure what song was playing, I wasn't really paying attention. We started in close, nothing too racey, just your average booty shaking. A little bit of space opened up and we backed off from each other. Eventually the people around us ended up clearing about 6 or 7 feet of space in a circle and then we went crazy. We danced around each other, we'd pull in close, move apart, she'd spin, I'd pretend to ignore her, we'd give each other the 'you frontin on me' look, hell I don't even know how to describe half the stuff we were doing but we tore that shit up. Then I grabbed her, pulled her in close and we did proceed to bump and we did proceed to grind. We locked eyes, faces so close we could feel each others frantic breathing, the heat and moisture of our skin. When our noses brushed together we both slightly opened our lips, the anticipation was palpable, the eyes of everyone in the room were on us, and then, with perfect timing, we both broke away at the same instant and she spun away from me as we continued to dance.
It was like a scene from a shitty, rushed through production, summer release movie about how dancing is the only thing keeping a group of inner city youth from descending into a life of crime.
It was the best I've felt in a long time. I hope everyone else had as fantastic a weekend.
