Woman up, Carlin! I think fiercely. It’s now or never!

“Uhm…Madison I have something important to tell you,” I began.

Madison just looked at me, signaling for me to go on.

“And before I tell you,” I continued, “I have to know that whatever I tell you won’t affect our relationship.”

She nods.  “As long as you didn’t kill my mother,” she adds, trying to lighten the mood.

I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips.  “Okay…well… Ijustwantedtoletyouknowthati’mgay,” I said in one breath.

“Finally! Spencer, hon, I’ve been waiting for you to tell me for years.”

“You knew?”

“Of course! It’s been pretty obvious since eighth grade.

“Oh,” was all I could say.

“Does anybody else know?”

“Just Glen, and he only found out by accident. He’s not spilling the beans anytime soon though.  Trust me on that.  I have stuff on him that would get into so much trouble, and he knows it, so he just keeps his mouth shut.”

Madison smiles, and so do I.

“Are you ready to hit the club?”

“Sure am.”

And with that, we’re off.

We had an easy time getting in.  The idiot bouncer didn’t even bother checking our Ids, not that we expected him to, anyway

When we stepped into the club, the music was blaring so loudly it seemed to penetrate the very soul.  This instantly put me in the mood for dancing, but I knew we should find Jacey, Aiden and Tyler before we started to party.

Jacey was sitting at the bar talking to the bartender and Aiden and Tyler were no doubt off somewhere flirting with some girls.

The club had just the right atmosphere to get lost in the moment.  Lost in dancing, especially. And that’s just what I did.  Tonight, I’m going to dance away the pressure, the judgment… life.  At this moment, nothing else matters except for the mingling bodies on the dance floor.

Madison sees me and we start dancing together in the way that tells guys ‘We’re dancing our hearts out and don’t want to be interrupted.’ We aren’t dancing particularly close, but everyone stops and stares like we’re having sex on the dance floor. Probably because two hot girls dancing always draws a crowd.  Anyone else probably would have felt uncomfortable with all eyes on them, but it didn’t bother me.  I wasn’t paying any attention.

What happened next, though, did bother me; for a few reasons, actually.

These three things bothered me to a point that I decided to go talk to her.  I made my way over to her table, but by the time I got over there, she was gone.  I quickly scanned the room for her.

Damn.

I turned, and saw Aiden alone in a corner, sipping out of a cup. He looked like he had been standing there for a while.

“Hey, Aiden!” I said, waving him over. “Did you see the brunette that was sitting in the booth over there?”

“Can’t say I have, Spencer. What did she look like? I’ll be on the lookout if you want.”

“That’s just the thing,” I sighed. “I never saw her face.”

thanks for your ages, but I’m not gonna tell my age. If you guess right, maybe I’ll confirm. I don’t wanna make you feel old jk.
