Oh how she loved to dance, dancing was the only way she knew how to get rid of the stress from the week. When she danced it was like all her responsibilities vanished and all that was left was the music and her. She could feel the thumping of the base line in her chest; it was like her heart was driving the music. She always went to the same club. Everybody knew her there. As soon as she walked up to the bar cute mike the bar tender would put a drink down in from of her, an apple martini. She was a creature of habit and never drank anything else. Tonight she was late leaving work so when she walked up to the bar one hour later than usual mike asked "why so late tonight shaye?"
"The boss kept me late going over this weeks reports. I don't know why he insists on calling me into his office 30 minutes before I leave and then keeps he there almost 45 minutes after my finish time. Its like he knows that I want to leave on time so he deliberately calls a meeting at the last minute" She grumbled as she gulped down the drink mike had just passed her. She ordered another drink as gulped it down too. "Hey take it easy with that" he said as she drained the glass. "You shouldn't drink so fast" Shaye could see the concern in mike's eyes "Thanks mike, I now, I'm just frustrated" she smiled at him " maybe I'll go dance of my anger" she said and walked off towards the dance floor.
She danced hard that night, dancing for an hour or more before going back to see mike at the bar but she didn't stay long. She drank her cocktails quickly and was back out there her body moving to the music. Mike watched her all night. Shaye had been coming here to dance for a long time but mike had never really noticed her, until tonight. Tonight she seemed different, but also the same.
He watched her skin glisten under the dance floor lights. The fabric of her dress flowing and brushing over her skin as she danced and danced. She looked sexier than he had ever seen her before. Tonight she was no longer just another regular customer, she was an object of desire. He became jealous of every man who danced with her. Tonight for the first time he wished he could get out from behind the bar and dance with her. But he couldn't.
