Chapter 4: Reckless Abandon

I think I came back to reality when a sparkly, slinky gold garment was thrust before my eyes.
"Here. Try this." Joey said as he started to hand me a leather skirt that, might I add, was damn short, like we're talking hooker short. "And this. Oooh, and this too." He continued, quietng my protests that I'm sure he knew were about to come out.
Soon, my hands were filled with all types of "synthetic fabrics", if you refer to vinyl and rubber, as fabric.
"Joey, how many cows had to die to mkae these pants? This is animal cruelty." I began my protests, if I had to try all this on and actually wear some of it, I'm not going to do any of it without a fight.
"They gave their hydes (literally) willfully to help you gain some sort of a social life, and hopefully their sacrifice won't be in vain."
"Touchy, touchy." I replied. Gees, he really wanted this to work out.
"Go try those on, and come out, I want to see how those look." He commented as I was soon pushed into a dressing room.
I began sorting through the vast array of feathers, furs, leather, and sparkly stuff, and to my great dismay, I actually liked some of this stuff. Damn, the boy had good tastes. Oh God, what if Joey is gay??? No. Bad Audrey. Not gay just fashionable. Moving on...
After trying on 50 different outfits (ok not 50, more like 10, but it sure felt like it) Joey and I decided on a strapless black, silvery top and the leather skirt with some strappy black shoes.
"Am I supposed to walk in these?" I asked incredulously already feeling my feet begin to rebel against me.
"Not only are you going to walk, but dance, and well for that matter." He rebutted. Damn him.
Nine forty-five was approaching quickly, and I was doing my best to put on some type of "raver" makeup. When I heard a car pull up to the studio I gave up and decided that what I had would have to do. I walked out of my office to the main area to meet the guys. As I rounded the corner I recieved four wide eyes.
"Hi guys", I spoke tentatively. Please say something. I looked over to see Zac with his mouth wide open and I heard a muffled "damn" escape soemone's mouth.
"You look great, A." Joey finally spoke up.
"Yeah, wow." Zac followed suit.
"thanks guys."
"Shall we get going?" Isaac started.
"Yeah man, let's rock and roll." Taylor replied as he gave me one of those obvious look overs.
"Very nice, Audrey. Very nice." He said saliciously.
I'm not sure whether to go "Oh my God ewww." Or to eat it up completely and tease. Well, if I'm gonna play the raver chick I might as well act like her. I chose the latter and began the night's escapades.
In the car I got caught inbetween Joey and Zac and both looked stunning. Joey's hair was so perfect and did he ever pull of the whole leather look. I never noticed how georgeous Joey really is. Wow! Am I falling for this guy? No, no I'm not. This is my best friend. Oh God!
"Stop!" I screamed.
"A, are you alright?" Joey asked, his face full of concern. Both Isaac and Taylor looked back at me with a look of pure confusion.
"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, I'm fine." Of course you are fine, Audrey. Just nerves, you'll get better.

When we stepped into the club the music was overwhelming. I could feel the bass beat through my vains. Those were the only thoughts I could coherently think before Zac pulled me out onto the dance floor with some comment like, "Dance with me, hott stuff." Resistance is futile.
After a few drinks I was sandwiched inbetween Zac and Joey, what seemed to be a reoccurring theme for the night. I looked over to find Isaac sitting with some girl at a table. Awww, that was almost sweet.

Somebody hit the lights so we can rock it day and night. People getting down...
All the girls get the guys to the floor, from the front to the back, let's go.

After a few more drinks and being completely slammed, I realized that Taylor had become my dancing partner as Zac and Joey had found other girls to play with. He also adorned tight leather pants with a button down shirt that was halfaway unbuttoned. I could feel his hands on my hips, moving me how he wanted, the earlier rift between us had disappeared and suddenly this place seemed really hot. More than normal. I could feel his breath on my ear, as another guy came to join us. I do believe that if we didn't have clothes on this dance style would be most often refferred to as sex! And hell, I was enjoyinmg it as I could feel Taylor was as well. I could hear his faint urgings in my ear, his hands on my body, and soon his tongue on my salty neck. Something in the back of my mind was telling me that this wasn't right, but it was all too blurred by the alchohol coursing through my system. When Joey came up and told us that we were all leaving, we broke apart. And I quickly sought the comfort of Joey's side and arms, falling asleep in Isaac's car.
Later that night, or should I say morning, I took refuge in my bed at home. My emotions on wild as I drifted off to sleep with Joey next to me.
