Bella looked around; she was surrounded by a sea of people, churning, twisting, and turning in time to the music emanating from the stage in front of her as if in trance to some unknown form of mind control. She looked around in vain again hoping to see her friends somewhere in the crowd but to no avail. They were lost in the faceless mass of people, their grinning heads and bobbing heads reminding her of the plastic dog she had on her dashboard with its constantly bobbing head. The band had just finished their song as the crowd roared in applause, thousands of flailing limbs coming together at once as the sound of clapping became all at once deafening.
The band started up their next song as everyone jostled for positions on the already cramped dance floor, like sardines in a tin can Bella thought to herself as she struggled to regain her footing, hopping from one foot to another as the mass of people moved as one. She felt his presence then rather than saw it. His eyes watching her every movement as she moved in time to the tide of the crowd. It was both enthralling and disturbing at the same time. Who was he? What did he want? Bella turned around hoping to catch this faceless stranger, but her eyes were only met by thousands of faces, their catatonic stares in another place as their mouths imitated the singer on stage.
Bella turned back around, chastising her paranoia but still she felt his attention and his presence always there. She found the attention strangely arousing, it had been a while since she had felt this much attention lavished upon her. Especially when competing with the multitude of mini skirts and halter tops populating the dance floor she thought to herself as her lip curled up in disdain at the sight of them all. She moved in time to the music as sexily as one could when in a compacted dance floor arena. Her palms began to sweat as she wiped them down her sides, her hands hugging the curves of her hips. She felt nervous as she felt her heart skip a beat, what if this person was some kind of deranged stalker? She shook these thoughts aside as she moved her hips in time to the music. She could feel his presence, it was much closer now. She began to fantasize at how far this admirer would go to get her attention, would he make a move or would he just watch? The voyeur within, always watching but never game enough to make a move, she was the temptress; the untouchable. Or would he make a move? Like a lion stalking its prey, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
