How could I resist?
It's just a stone's throw from my house, and on a whim,
I decided to take myself dancing. I put on one of my favorite dresses, a
little velvet green thing, and drove myself over. I actually got nervous
once I arrived, having no idea what this place was like. But I talked
myself into it. No cover fee meant I could walk in, decided I didn't like
it, and leave. As I approached, disco music filled the night. I knew it
was going to be all right.
I had an absolute blast, dancing with one guy after
another, and laughing off all of their compliments. I have never had any
sort of regular social activity, but I could definitely do a regular
Thursday night thing there. Want to join me there next week? E- me, and
let me know you're coming...
As I walked back to my car, a guy stopped me. "I don't
normally do this, but..." is always a bad sign. He told me I was
beautiful and he complimented me on my
shoes. It was very sweet and genuine. He told me it is his birthday
next week, so I'll have to save one dance for him.
