I was driving to the city today and I could not get the thought of an old friend out of my head. We met at the bar I was 18 and he was 21. He was 6'4" with really dark brown almost black hair and had the sexiest greenest eyes I have ever seen! He was wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt and motorcyle leather. I was wearing green 8-hole Doc Martens black tights and a green plaid kilt and a black longsleeve t-shirt.
The second he walked into the club at least 80% of the girls saw him and started to drool. I tried to keep my eyes in my head..and my jaw off the ground. He saw me right away and found a spot to sit and drink and still see me. He was watching me the entire time. I was very new to the bar scene and didn't know how to behave..so I just acted as calm as possible. Anyone who knows me knows that was damn hard! Keep in mind this was 12 years ago. The DJ announces that the best dressed lady contest is starting..so I tried to find a good vantage point to see who really thought they were hot. Next thing I knew I was getting pushed on the stage by my friends. Well not wanting to let anyone down and having alot of liquid courage I went up and stood on the dancefloor. I ended up standing beside two girl who I befriended that night Charmaine a gorgeous tiny little girl with thigh high peach boots on(remember its the 90's) The other was Hope a Madonna lookalike dressed in all black like a virgin style. Rachelle was also another girl..but she was sooo drunk she just walked off the stage. She was also to become my friend too.
They made us walk across the stage and pose a bit..the Dj asked us our names and then by applause the really smashed audience voted. The girls were all about 5' to 5'4". I am 5'11". They were wearing high heels and showing as much skin as possible..I was wearing combat boots and totally covered up. I WON! Charmaine and her b/f bought me a drink and Hope went back to her beer tub and well Rachelle needed to go home :D I got a $200 bar tab to use whenever I wanted..or was too broke!.....
Well the guy I started thinking about today watched the whole thing with a smirk on his face. He came up to me and said congrats and asked me too dance. I LOVE GUYS WHO CAN DANCE WELL!..we went up to the dancefloor and I felt really watched. Hope was in the corner glaring at me. I found out later why but that is a whole other story :( Ok so House of Pain was really popular in the day and Shamrocks and Shennanigans was playing..so we danced up a storm and said bye at the end of the song. I didn't even know his name..he kept watching me. His friend came up to stand beside me at the bar and said you know my friend is into you right?..I was thrilled! :D I said well tell him if he wants to say hey I would like that.
At the very end of the night the Dj played some slow songs...just like highschool I thought and after watching him watching me all damn night I went up to him and asked him to dance (I hate doing that) HE SAID YES! I think Ordinary World by Duran Duran was the song. I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. Even though you are all sweaty and drunk you can't help but be thrilled that you are touching the guy who all the girls in the whole damn place want! :P He was such a good dancer and really the perfect height for me too...and DAMN SEXY!
At the end of the night he wrote his name and number on the back of his business card and kissed me on the cheek. His name was Trace and we never dated but we became really good friends and when I met my husband, Trace was getting ready to settle down..he wanted me. It was too late and I was PISSED! I used to cal him even after I was married..just to see how he was...then I lost track of him. I hope he is married and has a few kids..he would make a great dad!
If only to dance with him again...why can't guys dance?...WHY WHY WHY?!...dammit!
