2. Dance the night away

Andrea POV

We arrived outside of Cavern.

A local hangout for Weres of all kinds.

The one bouncer was a Were-bear, while the other two were Were-Mounts (mountain lions).

They knew Nessi and I very well because it was actually my uncles club.

My mothers brother who started the club before he found his mate and moved to the north western part of Canada.

I'm sure he will not approve of my being here without guards, but tonight was girls only.

Nessi and I pushed thru the crowds already sweating on the dance floor.

It was just after 10 when we showed up but all i wanted to do was have fun and hopefully forget today ever happened.

It wasn't until my 6th round of Aviation (my fav drink) and 4th shot of Crown Royal that i started to feel relaxed.

Nessi and i were having a ball.

We made friends with a few vixens (were-fox) and we were all on the dance floor living it up.

Nessi managed to find a guy to dance with, but I wasn't worried.

She always knew how to handle herself.

So i pushed my way to the bar once again.

That's when I smelled the familiar drink of a boilermaker- Darrins favorite drink when we were out. Ugh!

'Why did i have to remember him!' I groaned internally at myself.

"I want a shot of Jimmy and another royal!" I shouted making sure the guy behind the counter would hear me.

He eyed me of course but didn't say anything.

All he did was pour my drinks and take the next order.

'These better make me forget or I'm going to have to up my drinking game' i said to myself while taking the shot.

My gosh that warmed me pretty good, I shot the royal and made my way back on to the floor.

I could barely hear anything but the beat of the music surrounding me.

Moving myself with the rhythm.

I must have been a little to out of it because when i felt a pair of hands on my waist I didn't tell whoever they belonged to, to move along.

Why should I anyway, its not like I have a boyfriend, or a mate, and i can do what i want.

I started dancing with my mystery man and it felt wonderful.

He danced wonderfully.

For a few moments I was worry free with not care in the world.

Completely free.

And the arms that held me felt like i was meant to be wrapped in them.

The way he held me.

Like he was afraid to let me go.

Pulling me close every time i got an inch away.

As he spun me, he dipped me, swayed with me-i felt tingles everywhere, each time he ran his fingers up and down my back i shuttered.

I thought it was magic and then realized that i really, REALLY needed to use the restroom.

I tried to hurry off the floor but my dancing partner wouldn't let up on his grip.

Not until i gave him a good elbow to the stomach.

I quickly ran in the direction of the ladies room.

The last thing I needed was to pee myself at my uncles club surrounded with Weres from every community here.

I didn't bother with the line as this was a genuine emergency.

After emerging from the restroom I noticed the line of ladies I ran pass to get inside, was now replaced with guys.

Oh good gosh.

"All yours boys!'

I said waving my hand as if it were normal for me to exit.

I must have ran pass the ladies room and straight into the men's room.

If it weren't for the alcohol in my system I would have been mortified.

Just then Nessi rounded the corner from the men's room as well.

"Gee thanks for waiting whore!" She said with an annoyed look on her face.

I laughed.

I don't know why but she looked like she just got mauled by some wolf.

Her hair was a mess, make up running off her brow, and her lipstick nearly non existent.

Maybe she was mauled, I laughed in my head.

"So that WAS you trying to use the urinal!" I laughed and she smiled.

"I have many talents" was all she said as we laughed passing the line of guys staring while we shimmied out of the small hall.

"TO THE BAR!" She shouted.

I can't believe how high of a tolerance she had.

I was already tipsy and nearly in 'lamp shade on my head phase'.

I was about to ask if we could go home.

But of all people to walk into MY uncles club....

"HES HERE! Why is he here? He can't be here I'm here!" I managed to get Nessi's attention.

We both stared and decided to ignore him until he was approached by one of the vixens we met earlier in the night.

"Took long enough babe, i was bout to entertain myself the rest of the night" she whisper yelled into his ear.

I was livid.

First off he came here full well knowing that I might be here.

Second they both didn't look or even act like strangers.

Was he cheating on me this whole time?

How could he do this to me?

I wanted to confront him and demand answers.

But i knew it would be the end of him if Nessi got hold of him.

"NESSI! NO! It's fine" i yelled struggling to keep her away from him.

"It really is fine, I'm fine. Let's not let him ruin our night" i told her.

And I thought 'wow, i really am fine'.

"Water for me and a shot of patron for my bestie" again getting eyed by the barkeep.

This time he hesitated a little before serving us.

So i smiled my best tipsy smile and he started on our drinks.

I decided to enjoy myself, regardless of Darrin and try to rub it in his face that he no longer effected me.

That was until i saw them making out.

The way he pulled her into him, held her head and ran his fingers in her hair, all while keeping his lips on hers.

That was enough to bring back the pain I remembered a few hours prior.

"Son of a nutcracker!!!" I said trying to keep it low so I don't trigger Nessi again.

I just turned to face the bar and yelled "Turn that water to ice, add it to a rum n coke, and make it a double"

I was back to square one and this time going to make myself forget the day i met him.

I was unsure just how many drinks it took but they sure got me to go back to the dance floor.

Again a pair of hands found me and this time I wasn't running.

I did however notice that Darrin saw me.

He looked both surprised and upset.

But with arms like these around me i had no care to what he must be thinking.

I didn't have the tingles I had before so I just enjoyed the company.

Suddenly the room started spinning and I wasn't able to focus.

I knew I over did it on the drinks.

I didn't want to embarrass myself so I tried to make my way off the floor.

Thankfully Nessi approached me and said she was heading out.

I wanted to go home.

I wanted to tell her help me into a cab.

But my head was spinning and I couldn't focus on what to say.

Just as I was about to leave with her, I realized I couldn't move.

My feet didn't seem to want to listen to my head, but I did hear...

"Hey..ok...drop...home..I'm beta...pack" over the loud booming and thudding of both my head and music in the club.

And that was where I lost to the blackout that I brought upon myself.
