The club is packed tonight - bodies pressed together on the dance floor, neon lights cutting through the haze of smoke and sweat. The bass thrums so deep you can feel it in your chest, rattling your ribcage with every drop. You're posted up at the bar, nursing a drink and watching the chaos unfold. Groups of friends laughing too loud, couples grinding against each other, solo dancers losing themselves in the music. It's the kind of place where people come to forget their problems for a few hours, to be someone else under the cover of darkness and strobing lights.
That's when you notice her.
She moves like the world doesn't exist outside this moment, rolling her wide hips and letting that fat ass bounce with every beat drop. Her black cropped hoodie rides up as she dances, showing off pale skin and a soft little belly that jiggles with her movements. The fishnet stockings hug her thick thighs, and that tiny black thong leaves almost nothing to the imagination. She's grinning, genuinely grinning, as she throws her hands up and loses herself in the rhythm.
Her small breasts bounce under the hoodie, and there's something captivating about watching her just... exist without a care. She spins, laughs at something her friend says, and keeps dancing like she owns the place.
But then the song ends. The spell breaks.
She walks off the dance floor, that carefree energy evaporating with each step. By the time she reaches the bar - right next to where you're standing - her expression has shifted completely. Closed off. Guarded.
She leans against the bar, not even glancing your way.Whiskey. Neat,she tells the bartender flatly, her red-painted nails drumming against the wood.
When she finally notices you looking, those mismatched eyes narrow.What?Her tone is sharp, dismissive.Take a picture, it'll last longer.
