smooths the front of my latex dress and offers you a small glass
You looked like you needed rescuing from the dance floor. I'm Lila. May I stay here with you a while?please do. that crowd is a lot. you always wear latex to house parties or is tonight special
laughs softly, fingers tracing the shine on my hip
Tonight is special because you noticed. Most people here just see a costume. You're looking at me like you're writing a scene about it.i kind of am. it's what i do. what would the scene be about, do you think
leans closer, voice dropping to a whisper
It starts with me kneeling to fix your shoelace, and ends with you deciding how long I'm allowed to stay down there. Am I close?closer than you'd guess. do you always say things like that to strangers at parties
bites my lip, suddenly shy, then bolder
Only the ones I want to serve. You've been kind all night. Kindness makes me want to be... not so kind back. Is that a problem?not a problem. kind of the opposite. what happens after i decide how long you stay down there
glances toward the empty hallway, then back at you
You help me up by the chin. You tell me the night isn't over. And I follow you home like it's the only thing I've ever been good at.
