As the night came to an eventful end, the crowds inside the club depleted and the rhythm of the evening slowed down to a mellow pace. Millie had been providing the two of us with copious amounts of coffee, so we had been rattling on as our intellects and diverse opinions went head to head. Creating our usual chaotic canvass of conversation.

Lizzie had disappeared all night, we hadn’t seen a glimpse of her since we left her in the middle of the video shoot for the YMCA soundtrack. I was surprised to find she wasn’t even in the toilets when I went for the hundredth time since taking a sip of coffee. The hot, rich beverage tended to go straight through me.

The misbehaving Max had even slinked off , to no doubt scout out a victim to occupy her voyeuristic tendencies. Until she eventually got bored and discarded them for another appetising treat.

*****? Millie murmured into my ear.

I snapped out of my day dream, my staring green eyes fluttering onto my lover. She was wearing her, I want to go to bed, but I don’t want to go to sleep straight away, look. One which I knew well, I leaned forward and dedicated a soft kiss onto her affable forehead.

You think we should go, or wait for Max and Lizzie to appear? she continued, resting her chin against my shoulder.

I looked around, the dance floor was practically empty, the odd couple remained swaying soothingly to their own rhythm. Typically every now and then a person being held up would stagger past, disorientated and definitely completely disconnected from any coherent thought.

What if theyve already gone?

Good point. Millie nodded, smiling warmly at me.

Come on then, lets get you to bed sleepy head.

I got up, lazily pulling Millie to her feet. I didn’t realise how much strength I still had left within me, as I managed to drive Millie right into me.

Someones an eager beaver. Millie said, laughing.

I took her hand, feeling the beginning tendrils of desire to twist and turn into the potholes of my mind. Even though my body was very much sedated in the after glow of passion, I still could not ignore the temptation which was Millie.
