I’m dancing. I’m grinding. I’m drunk.

I’m not sure how many shots I took, I stopped counting after five and I’m not sure how many sex on the beaches I've ordered just to try and flirt with the bartender. All I know now is that everything seems extremely hilarious.

I pull myself away from the crowd of sweaty bodies to catch my breath and maybe get another drink.

“Fallon?”

I turn around, giggling might I add, and face the guy behind me. “Hi handsome.” I say, doing something I believe may have been a flirtatious hair flip.

“Fallon it’s me, Daniel.”

I laugh loudly and the smell of the alcohol on my breath fills my nose. “Oh my god I know a guy named Daniel. He’s this huge dick. You don’t even know.” I laugh again and pull myself onto the barstool next to me. “He fucking cheated on me. I gave that dick three years of my life and he cheated on me. But I don’t even care. Nope.”

The guy clears his throat awkwardly and shifts his weight. “Um, I’m that Daniel.”

I squint at him and playfully push him laughing as I recognize his face. How could I forget his face? That dark brown hair and those bright green eyes that always made me feel like he was staring into my soul and never liked what he saw. Of course this is Daniel. Who else would it be?

“I saw you from across the club and you looked pretty trashed so I just wanted to see how you were doing.”

‘Me?” I ask, my voice a few octaves too high. “Oh I’m great. I’m so awesome. I’ve actually moved on. With someone else.” I nod, confirming this mostly to myself considering how this is actually the biggest lie I’ve ever told. After saying this, I pray that he won’t ask who.

“Oh? Really, who?”

Shit. I look around, scanning all the faces and as my gaze lands on Alex’s face a huge smile comes to my lips. “I’m with Gaskarth now.” I state proudly.

Daniel’s eyebrows furrow in confusion. “I thought you couldn’t stand him.”

I lift my shoulders casually and roll my eyes. “We bonded. We’re extremely close, if you know what I mean.” I wink at Daniel and watch as his face flushes, turning a light shade of pink. Although this lie is getting bigger by the moment, I can’t find it in me to care. I can only think of the embarrassment and confusion on his face and how I hope he realizes what a mistake he’s made.

He clears his throat again and shoves his hands deep into his pockets. “You know what?” I say after a few moments of amusing silence to me and what must be awkward for him. “I think I see Alex now. Goodbye Daniel.”

He looks as if he’s ready to say something, but I turn away and push myself through the crowd over to Alex. He smiles, a great big one at the sight of me and I grab his hand lacing our fingers together.

“Hey boyfriend,” I say, my smile equally as wide. “Let’s dance.”

I lead him out onto the dancefloor and his wraps his arms around me pressing his body to mine, grinding our hips together. I instantly remember the feeling of his body against mine and I turn around and forcefully push my lips against his. My arms loop around his neck and he grips my waist as he kisses me harder, his tongue examining my mouth.

What happened next? I swear I couldn’t tell you.
