Thump of the Bass (open)

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

With the house going to be empty again tonight, it was time to get out and stay out late. Being away from that empty new house seemed like the best idea she had all day. All day she had been listening to upbeat music that made her dance around the house here and there. However, dancing around the house alone just was not cutting it. What fun was dancing if you couldn’t dance with someone? Ok, granted the dancing nowadays was practically sex on the dance floor, but she wanted to have some fun tonight. Her parents were out and missing them had sent her into a rather down state and having fun tonight would definitely brighten her mood. Ky was going to take this opportunity to dress up a bit and hit a club. Her outfit might have been a little too dressy and more like something to wear on a date, but what did she care? Pretty much nobody here knew who she was and she was going to take advantage of that. Now normally little Kyla here was the type to stay out of trouble, yes, but she felt the need to get out and have some fun.

With the sudden thumping of a bass she was brought out of her thoughts and into the world where music would rule most of her actions, not to mention a little bit of alcohol too. Whether or not she would sip on something tonight would be one of the things that she would have to wing. Hm… this club seemed to have a pretty good mix of people here. Dancing tonight just might have some level of success. Despite making her way to the dance floor already and starting to dance, Ky was actually aware of her surroundings for the most part. After a little dancing however, she would probably not care so much and start to really enjoy herself tonight. Honestly, she just had the urge to go out, dance, and have some fun. Smiling, Ky started to let go as she joined the masses dancing to the rhythm of the music. A bit later she felt hands rest on her hips and someone press themselves against her back. A string of adrenaline shot through her at the contact, but she smiled and loved the feeling that sent her heart racing. She did not bother looking at who was dancing with her and part of it was because they wouldn’t let her turn around, but they were male. Yeah, she could definitely tell that they were male. A bit into the song Till The World Ends by Britney Spears, the guy said thank you in her ear before leaving her. It was a voice that she did not recognize and did not say anything back, because like he would hear her above the music anyway. Kyla just kept dancing solo, moving in ways that would send some of her older friends’ jaws dropping if they saw innocent little Kyla right now. Nobody here should know her though, so she was going to make the most out of it and enjoy herself.

Josh entered the club, he knew most of his friends would be in here some where amongst the large crowd, but he didn't care much for them - if they noticed him then cool, if not oh well their loss. He walked up the steps that lead onto the second floor (mainly where people sit, chill and what not). Josh looked at all the people kissing and such, he shook his head and stood hanging onto the railing watching out at all the people below - he had to laugh at how some of them where dancing, but who was he to judge?

He gazed around at all the people trying to spot someone he knew, he gazed over twice - he thought he saw Kyla, but when he looked again the person was gone. He shrugged; if Josh saw her there, sure he'd go chill with her and what not - probably get drunk as fuck and end up getting thrown out but its a club right? these things are supposed to happen. Right now, he'd usually be grinding up on some girl, but tonight was different some how.

Joshua shook his head, he wanted to let loose - get rid of the thoughts that clouded his mind, a smirk crossed his face as he walked back down and onto the ground floor, he spotted some random chick; at this point appearances didn't matter as they were just dancing, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into him as they danced, he began sweating from all the grinding and body mashing so he let go and nodded to her - she was fairly pretty, but not someone he would usually 'have fun with' afterwards with though. Josh went up to the bar, there he ordered three shots, he sculled all three and felt like dancing again - he watched all the pretty ladies do there thing, he then spotted Kyla - this time he was sure it was her. He made his way through the crowd and stood behind her - not touching her of course "Hey sexy" he said in a sarcastic way, hoping that she wouldn't turn around and slap him.

Shorty after the end of the song, Ky headed towards the bar to buy herself a small glass of champagne. When she held the glass in her hand, she could not help but to grin before taking a sip. This place did not seem so bad after all and the laws were definitely working to the teenagers’ favor. Now champagne was not her favorite alcoholic drink, but she knew how it would affect her and that was all needed. It was just a little push that would make her happy and not so calculative about her actions. Besides, by the time she might be ready to go home the alcohol would hopefully be out of her system by then. About five minutes had passed by now and her drink was gone. Already she was feeling the warming affects of the drink that had her smiling happily. Now it was time to hit the dance floor again and perhaps attract something.

So far only two other guys had danced with her before parting ways. They had been ok dancers she supposed, but she had danced with better before. It was amazing how dancing in your room just to have fun could also be used on the dance floor. In her room when she danced she was just having fun and now she was well… working it to combine the two aspects. Heck, between the alcohol, dancing, and having fun the heels she was wearing weren’t even bothering her yet. If that were to happen however, she did have a backup plan consisting of black flats back in her car. Seemingly nothing was going to keep her from having a good time tonight and perhaps in the early morning- depending on whatever time the club closed. She was having a blast even when she was dancing by herself (like now), but that was until she heard something.

Despite the buzz from the alcohol she had consumed the girl still managed to turn around with a narrowed gaze at the person whom she was sure she recognized the voice from. Yep, it was him: Josh. ”What are you doing here?” Her tone was rather snappish as she asked this, her arms crossing to complete the attitude. ’More importantly, what are you doing spoiling my fun by keeping me from dancing?’ The thought that followed the first question out loud was truly why she was a little ticked at the moment- that and the sarcastic tone she caught from him even above the music. She wanted to have fun and dance for a while without any distractions, that’s all. If he was going to keep her from that, then as far as she was concerned he could just leave her alone. As if she could ever stay mad at him anyway…

[Joshua Daniel Clark]

Josh stepped back as she snapped, was he not allowed in a public club? what did he do to her? nothing, maybe he just killed the mood "Same thing as you i suppose" he said back. He couldn't decide whether to quickly say bye and walk off, he nodded to the idea "Well.. I suppose I'll leave you to it then" he walked off into the crowd, its not like he could snap back he didn't have a reason too.

Josh sighed, he didn't feel like dancing anymore so he walked back up to the second floor with his hands deep into his pockets, he found a free couch and sat with his legs up - making sure no freaks sat next to him. He pulled out his phone and slid the screen up and down continuously, he tapped his foot to the music as his head bobbed.

Josh was confused as to why she snapped? "Fuck it" he murmured as he stood and went back down - no he wasn't going to 'annoy' Kyla again he was gonna dance the night away. He made his way to the middle of the dance floor and began grinding with some chick - they started getting hot and heavy as they continued; he couldn't help but smile - this took his mind off of everything, he placed his hands on her hips and brought her closer into him with each stride.

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

As soon as he walked off, Kyla knew she had done something wrong as a brief flash of rationality seeped through the buzz of alcohol. ’Shit,’ she thought as her posture changed to a less challenging one. The mood killed and slightly depressed she might of cost herself a possible friend, she once again made her way over to the bar. Another glass of champagne was ordered and this time it was not just sipped on. Her limit with glasses of champagne was currently at three and that had been determined at the last New Year’s party she had been at with her parents. They allowed her to drink of course and noticed that after three glasses that their daughter was not really acting like herself. Now Ky liked to think of herself as a pretty responsible person, so she knew that two glasses would have to suffice for tonight. She was not even really a drinker and perhaps two glasses were all she needed to be perpetually happy tonight.

Finally, her feet carried her back to the dance floor in the mood to dance again. She was fine dancing solo, dancing with other girls, and even a few more guys, but something still was not right. Her body felt… off and it was not just the alcohol. No, something just did not feel right to her. A glance to her right and she saw Josh dancing with another girl. Jealousy flared up like a fire fueled with gasoline. It bubbled within her as she watched the two. ’Wait a minute,’ she thought and blinked, ’why am I jealous?’ Jealousy could be very dangerous and she knew that much from drama stories in real life and in books. Kyla began to think- knowing that she wanted Josh to dance with her and not with that other chick he seemed to be having fun with. ’Guess I’ll just have to show him what he’s missing,’ she thought with a smirk and prayed that what she was about to do would work.

It only took a few minutes before another guy came up behind her and placed himself very close to her backside. Grinning that now was her chance; she began to move in such a way that had the male’s grip tighten on her hips. Her grin was gone now because if Josh happened to look over her way (which she hoped he did) she did not want to clue him in on what she was doing. She made herself look like she was actually enjoying the dancing with this guy behind her and could care less that Josh was dancing with some other girl. Just the thought of that had her moving once more that eluted a moan from the guy behind her. At this, a devilish smirk twisted the corners of her mouth as her eyes closed in concentration. She just hoped this work would not go to waste and that he would be looking over at her. She wanted him to cave first and come to her.

[Joshua Daniel Clark]

Josh moved his hands from her hips to her belly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, he couldn't help but look over and he spotted Kyla - she looked like she was enjoying herself he gave a smile and turned his head back as he kissed the girls neck as they danced. Josh couldn't stop, he kept glancing over, the more he looked the more he wanted to be the guy behind her, holding her hips. Josh shook his head as he tried to pay attention to the who he was dancing with.

Once he was finished dancing with the chick he slowly and unnoticeable made his way closer to Kyla, hoping that she didn't see him; if anyone was gonna be next in line to grind with her, it was gonna be him. Now at least 2 meters away, he started dancing with some other random chick, who got up close and personal which made him hot, but he liked it. The chick he was dancing with turned and faced him, he shrugged and she latched her lips onto his - he couldn't resist and kissed her back, she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist, he quickly moved his hands to her thighs and held her up, before letting her slide down slowly, he groaned and swallowed hard as she rubbed against his front. The chick then walked off, he stalked his way to Kyla and stood in front of her with a sly smirk.

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

Dancing this hard to work for something surprised her a bit. When had she ever felt like she was working when it came to dancing? Guess she wanted it that bad. The influence Josh seemed to have over her right now was astounding. Because of him, she was working her butt off just so he would come over to her and away from those other girls. She wasn’t falling was she? Oh… perhaps the alcohol was to blame for this. Actually, perhaps it was a combination. Either way she knew she had to make this work- she had to win him over and get him away from those other girls. Yes, she had been glancing over at him here and there were she could see him and saw him still enjoying himself. It only made her work harder on the guy behind her. His grip had become tighter, something that she was started to actually feel. No matter, she would have to endure the small pain to get what she wanted. Oh the things girls could do when feeling challenged, threatened, and so forth.

Eventually Ky opened her eyes once more to see just the person she wanted to see there. She did not exactly grin just yet, but stopped dancing as she observed the smirk on his lips. Instead she kept her face neutral and looked back to the guy behind her once he realized she had stopped moving. The guy looked towards Josh, to her, and then back to Josh before frowning and sulking off. This is when she gave a smirk of her own. Oh? Looked like the guy had enjoyed it quite well. But on to more important matters… Instead of speaking, Kyla just lifted her chin in a challenging and questioning matter to seem to ask him if he could really handle her. The smirk that was on her lips broke into a grin when she realized that he had come to her first. ’Well, are you going to dance with me or not,’ she thought. She had worked this hard and she was not going to let it go to waste.

[Joshua Daniel Clark]

Josh watched the guy walk off, he then slyly moved behind Kyla placing his hands on her hips - hoping she wouldn't react in the way he thought she would. He began moving with the beat behind her.

Josh was more than surprised at how she didn't snap at him again, but he was also happy that just maybe she still wants to be 'friends'. He was still sober so he wouldn't do anything stupid unless he took a trip to the bar, then all of this right here wouldn't go down well. Josh kept his eyes on her - the back of her head of course, he couldn't help it - was he attracted to her? nah, he thought.

As Josh got more into the beat he wrapped his arms around her waist "We should dance together more often" he whispered into her ear and blowing on her neck as he continued to hold her waist. Why did she have to tease me? he thought as he thought about what she was doing with the other guy, man that guy was lucky - another thought passed through before he focused all of his attention of Kyla.

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

Ah now this is when she did not mind if he was behind her. She had actually encouraged it in a way. Satisfaction that she had won him over felt so good right now –almost as good as him moving behind her. Kyla was thrilled at what was happening right now. She had won and all those other girls could beat it. Talk about possessiveness, but if she could, she was going to try and keep his attention for the rest of the night. For once, she would not mind his eyes on her. Now even though she had won, he had come to her, so shouldn’t that deserve some type of reward? Smirking, she moved herself against him in different ways to test for different reactions. Finding one that she thought was rather responsive, she executed the move once more for his “reward” in having come to her. Happy, Ky felt herself relax into him and her movements loosened up to a point that would allow them to move more easily against each other.

The music raved on and she felt Josh’s arms wrap around her waist. This she viewed as an act of possessiveness, but she liked it. Her body was aware of any male she found attractive that just happen to be around her. In fact, it was sensitive right now and when his arms moved around her the muscles in her abdomen clenched. The sudden whisper at her ear and the breath on her neck had her abdomen fill with a string of warmth that had her surrender to him as she tilted her head back to rest against him. Her ears were a sensitive spot and the one still hummed from his voice right next to it. For the first time tonight she lifted her arms to wrap them around his neck. She smiled as she titled her head back up to look at him. ”Couldn’t agree more,” she said loud enough to be heard over the music. She had surprised herself a little there- her voice had sounded almost like a seductive purr. Perhaps she just imagined it and instead let her eyelids droop so that they were only half opened. She was lost to the feel of the beat and the man behind her. At the moment, nothing else mattered.

[Joshua Daniel Clark]

Josh's body tingled in response to her movements - what was this? he wasn't supposed to 'tingle', just when he thought that was going to be his only reaction to her movements he found himself moaning in the back of his throat - god he was enjoying this way too much. Josh smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and spoke "Amazing" he said low enough so that only he could hear.

He leaned his head down to her exposed neck, he closed his eyes and began to kiss it up and down as they danced together. Josh pulled away from her neck and pulled her closer to him. He thought he was on top of the world at this moment - nothing mattered, he paid no attention to those around them and just focused on the music and her. Josh knew that pretty soon this was all gonna come to an end as the night was nearly over - what were they to do then? he shook his head as he got rid of all thoughts and turned his head and kissed her cheek. josh hoped that he wasn't stepping over any boundaries with her, by kissing her cheek - he pulled away from her cheek and bit his lip as they danced.

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

Catching the moan from Josh’s throat, she smirked and mimicked the same movement. Knowing she could cause him to moan was a power trip that boosted her confidence and allowed her to continue what she was doing right here and right now. The glasses of champagne from before might of also had something to do with it, but alcohol wore off over time. Water, nor anything else could wear off some of its effects, only time. Those health classes they had been required to take really were help in the real world. She doubted those teachers even thought someone like her with her grades would drink, but it’s not like she had gotten drunk to the point she was left with a hangover. She knew her limits, responsibilities, and goals. Though, it was hard to think of these thoughts when she sensed Josh nearing her neck.

Once she felt Josh begin to pepper kisses along her neck, she had to bit the inside of her bottom lip to keep her from making any sounds. Her body was hot. Between all the dancing she had almost done nonstop, the game of winning Josh over, their body heat, and Josh- she was more than just warm. He had pulled reactions from her that had yet to happen before. Eventually, his kisses on her neck had caused her to release a sound similar to “mew” that increased the flush on her chest, neck, face, and ears. Had that sound really came from her? Groaning, she moved through the embarrassment and bit her lip in another attempt to keep herself quiet. Josh had also pulled her closer to him, but she still moved against him wanting nothing more than to enjoy the time they were having together. A sudden kiss to her cheek had her smiling. She had always seemed to prefer a peck on the check rather than a steamy make out session (how odd she could tell this about herself when she had yet to have her first kiss on the lips)- the small peck had just always seemed to mean more to her. Wanting to return the gesture, she tried to bring her lips up to the underside of his throat and place a kiss there.

[Joshua Daniel Clark]

Josh smiled and shook his head at the sound that escaped her mouth, it was adorable, his eyes glanced down at Kyla as she kissed him on his throat. He couldn't help but roam her upper torso with his hands as they danced, he started to get incredibly hot and leaned down to her ear "Thanks for the dance" he whispered as he released her and walked off towards the bar.

At the bar, he took off his beanie and shook his hair, as he tried o cool down. Josh stood at the bar and ordered 4 shots, once the bartender had given them to him he drunk them all and turned around, as he looked up at the second level, he nodded and made his way up there. Josh sat down on the couch once again, trying to calm down and cool off a bit before going and dancing again, he closed his eyes and sat his hands on his head as he thought about what had just happened, he shook his head in disbelief. He wanted to know why she allowed him to touch her, after what had happened at the beach, he didn't know what was going on "Maybe she is drunk?" he whispered to himself as he pulled his hands from his head. Josh sat up and ran his fingers through his hair as he gazed down at the people pushing against each other as they danced - seeing them do that made him feel hot again, he took a deep breath and exhaled as he sat back against the back of the couch.

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

Planting a kiss on his throat was a short one, a little peck and that was it. All she thought was that she was being sweet to return his equally sweet gesture of when he had kissed her on the cheek. She was smiling afterwards and despite the heat between them, soaked it up and kept her body relaxed against him. She was happy in these moments, but could not help but to think that something special was being shared in the time they were dancing together. Even when she felt Josh’s hands roam her upper torso she made herself stay relaxed against him. Only on occasion when his hands would brush a certain spot did her muscles clench and send cords of warmth shooting towards her lower abdomen. The heat between them was not unbearable to her despite the perspiration on her body. She preferred being hot over cold anyway and even took hot showers so this… this was almost welcomed. What was not welcomed however, was the sudden absence of his arms from being around her. He had said thank you for the dance and simply went off on his way. She frowned, wondering if she had done something briefly before another guy moved behind her. The stranger’s touch was too foreign to her and she brushed him off, not wanting him around her.

Maybe he went off somewhere else because he had remembered how she had snapped at him earlier? At the thought of it and the relying of the scene in her mind, Kyla grimaced. She needed to apologize, that was it. If there was something wrong, she was going to fix it. She wanted Josh to be happy and she knew that much already despite only knowing him for a little while. As things seemed to be going, at this rate they seemed to be well on their way to becoming friends and Kyla always looked out for her friends and wanted them to be happy. Disappearing from the dance floor, Ky set off on a mission to find Josh. She scanned the dance floor, the bar, and finally the upper level. Feeling self-conscious again and wanting to disappear or blend in with her surroundings, she made herself seem small by hugging herself as she wandered the second floor. A couch caught her eye and more so the back of a head that she thought she recognized the hair style. Biting her lip, she slowly made her way over to stand behind the back of the couch. ”Josh?” she asked softly, her voice a little shaky as nerves began to creep up on her again. Hopefully it was Josh and not some other guy that was a look-alike.

[Joshua Daniel Clark]

At first he thought he was hearing things, but then he saw a shadow standing behind him, Josh turned his head around and saw Kyla - all kinds of thoughts ran through his mind, what was she doing up here? he smiled and moved down to the other end of the couch "Oh hey" he said with a friendly tone. He looked to the space beside him and then back up at her "You wanna sit?" he asked, he thought it was a friendly gesture - it almost seemed like he was acting as if nothing happened.

Josh glanced around and cleared his throat as he waited for her to sit, he watched the people dancing - hearing the beat of the music made him wanna dance some more, he felt a little cooled down now, he bit his lip resisting the urge to get up and walk down there, he gazed back up at Kyla and fiddled with his fingers as he felt like he was about to jump down there and get a drink of vodka before dancing, or maybe.. she would join him? a sly smirk crawled over his face as he watched her from the corner of his eye - the smirk disappeared as fast as it came, maybe he should just shut up and listen he thought as he stopped moving.

[Kyla Annett Hardt]

So it was the right person then, as they- Josh greeted her with familiarity. She accepted the invitation to sit with a nod of her head and a quick, “Thanks.” Her feet carried her around the couch and she sat down next to Josh, intent on one thing: apologizing for snapping at him. He was acting all cool, as if nothing really happened there on the dance floor. Heck, she would remember that if anything else from tonight. So far it was one of the greatest experiences of her life. Sighing, she observed his seemingly jittery behavior. ’Have to say this fast,’ she thought to herself as she took her hair and pulled it to one side in a nervous gesture before looking over to Josh.

“Sorry for snapping at you earlier and…” She had paused, but the words soon spilled from her mouth, “Thank you for dancing with me.” Saying all that felt like a weight had lifted from off of her shoulders and she finally allowed her back to rest against the couch. Her gaze was focused on her hands in her lap, not really wanting to see his expression and just hoping that he might forgive her.
