“Fuck she can dance,” Shane whispers under her breath. Alice looks towards her, unsure of whether or not she said something. Shane slumps further into her chair trying to concentrate on something else – anything else – but no matter where she looks, images flash through her head; the pieces of her naked body, the movements that seduced her, the smile that left her stunned. She shook her head trying to get rid of them and takes a sip of her cooler. She looks back to her to see a girl making her way towards Carmen on the floor. Shane’s eyes burn into her; daring her to try it. The chick continues and slowly manages to follow her actions. Carmen smiles at the girl attempts to keep up, but instead of taking the time to match Carmen’s movements, the girl pulls her close and grinds with her. Shane can see the shock on her face, but Carmen continues to dance unfazed.

“Shane!” Alice snaps in front of her face. Shane looks up at her irritated.

“What?”

“Yager bomb?”

“I thought I was cut off?”

“It’s a group thing, you want one or not?” Alice retorts. Shane simply nods as the waitress puts one down in front of her. They all drop the shot in the glass and chug.

Shane takes one more glance at the dance floor and stands. “I’ll be right back.” She pushes her way through the crowd and opens the door to the bathroom.

“Little too much for her?” Dana looks at Alice. Alice simply nods.

Shane splashes water on her face and looks at herself in the mirror. “You can do this,” she whispers. “She’s your friend you fucking idiot. Don’t fuck it up.” She leans her back against the stalls and looks at the ceiling. She takes a deep breath and shakes her head. She turns around and punches the stall in frustration.

Carmen manages to free herself from the grasps of the molester that was grinding up on her. She had lost sight of Shane, which defeated her whole “alluring” plan she had thought up earlier. She closes her eyes and gets lost in the music. Shane and her had agreed to be friends, but she knew she had been watching her all night. A small smile creeps onto her face at the thought. Suddenly Carmen feels a hand sneak around her waist and tenses up when a body is slightly pushed up against her. She turns her head, expecting to find the same annoying girl, but instead she’s met with Shane’s eyes. A smile tugs at the corner of her lips as she lifts her hand to reach around the back of Shane’s neck, leaning back into her. She feels Shane’s grip tighten, pulling Carmen towards her and dipping her face into the crook of her neck. Shane’s hand smoothly glides over Carmen’s exposed stomach, drawing feathered circles. Carmen closes her eyes as her breath catches in her throat. She can feel Shane’s breath teasing her neck; knowing her lips were near. Shane lifts her lips to Carmen’s ear. “Friends can dance, right?” she whispers, barely audible. Carmen merely nods, unable to form words. She can feel Shane smile against her skin and her hand on her stomach was making it impossible to concentrate on anything else. Shane’s finger ran along the top of Carmen’s shorts causing Carmen to throw her head back onto Shane’s shoulder, exposing even more for Shane to look at. Carmen felt her hands move up her sides to spots that would usually be ticklish, but at the moment only taunted her. Shane’s hands moved all the way down her sides and briefly grazed over the bare skin on Carmen’s thighs and back up to her stomach. Carmen’s entire body felt numb, with the exception of the trail of fire left burning her skin wherever Shane’s hands grazed over; she needed more of her. She turns her head to face Shane, wanting her to look at her. Shane keeps her head down, knowing what Carmen wants. Carmen softly kisses up Shane’s jaw line to her ear; she takes her lobe in her mouth, gently biting it and then moves back slightly, urging her to face her. Shane quickly kisses Carmen’s shoulder and moves away from her. “I’m sorry,” she manages to mumble before disappearing into the crowd. Carmen stands still staring straight in front of her. She clenches her jaw and looks around, nervously taking a shaky breath.
