The girl at the party
the smell of sweat, smoke, drugs, and some lust were all around him. the colors and the sounds would probably be hypnotic, if he had been drunk, or high, like the rest of the crowed. his "friends", as they so often called themselves had brought him here to have fun.
"you're a stick in the mud, Jake. you need to come out with us." was what maxx, the only person in the group that Jake actually viewed as a friend, had said. "we go out every Friday night, why don't you join us?"
"because, I don't like those guys you hang out with, I think most of them are trying to get me in bed with them." Jake said, with a straight face. " we both know I'm not a 'man-on-man' kind of guy, like you, or them. and with the fact that they're all huge is another problem.
he was, of course, referring to the fact that maxx and his friends were all horses, and not little ones either. "bah, I already told them you were straight, their just teasing you. besides, horse on mouse is always a bad idea." maxx retorted, waving jake's comment off. "I'm telling you, come with us, and if you're so worried, just keep an eye on your drink. if they do try anything, it'd be with a little slip."
so, after a half hour of bargaining, maxx managed to get Jake to come with them.
"hey, hot stuff, " said shienti, the second largest of the group, next to maxx, "coming with us tonight? or sulking about again?"
"shut up shien, and yeah, I'm coming with." Jake had learned a long time ago that, though the big horses acted tough, they wouldn't get in a fight unless they needed to, which lead to many, sometimes loud, vocal squabbles with shienti.
the large male seemed a little surprised, but decided to drop the conversation there, incase he made the mouse change his mind. the whole group of horses, maxx aside, had a crush on the little mouse, and going out to party with him could be fun.
they came up to the club that Marc, another of the horses, had heard a rave was going to take place in. Jake relaxed a bit when he realized it was one of those liberal "any sexuality welcome" clubs, instead of a straight/gay only one.
they went in, and the mouse was literally lifted through the air, narrowly avoiding a thrown bottle. "thanks maxx, I didn't see it coming." Jake said, glad that he didn't have to beat the crap out of anyone yet. "no problem, you need to keep a look out here, everyone wants everyone else, and they're all to high to realize who they want to fuck."
"what do you mean high? do I have to do drugs? wait, do YOU use drugs maxx?" he said, with a concerned look for his friend, "no, I don't take any drugs, they throw me off of my game, and I hate the after effects." he stated, nonchalantly, "now then, I recommend you get a drink, and start dancing. that's why we're here!" he said, as he pulled out a couple of glo-sticks, and gave one to Jake.
Jake took maxx's advice and got a drink, a shot of tequila, but he didn't start dancing. he stood back and enjoyed watching his friend dance around like a giant fool, as well as watching the rest of the crowed. he was content to stay back in the corner, that suited his style anyway.
There, she saw him, a good catch, a little small for her, but he WAS a mouse. he wasn't nearly as drunk, or smashed, as the rest of the party, so she would need to work a little harder to get him. her name was telko, though most just called her tel, and she was out tonight for one thing, a good time. she loved the thrill of the hunt, toying with her prey, then finally taking what she wants.
and right now, she wanted that mouse.
she made a show of walking over to him, a shake of the hips, and a slight smile on her lips. she caught the eye of quite a few guys, and girls for that matter, but that mouse didn't seem interested, or had he not seen her? well, she could fix that...
"Hi there, little mousy, could you help me out?" she said, pouting her lips a little, getting the attention of the mouse, who finally noticed the cat, standing so close to him. he jumped a little, a natural reaction to cats, back from the days of the feral. it was useless now, since most cats mean mice no harm. " uhm...er...excuse me?" he said, looking a little confused.
"I asked if you could help me. but if you're to busy, I can ask someone else?" she said, letting a little bit of her Brazilian accent through. Jake replied with, "I'd be glad to help, what do you need?"
"directions to the bar, I can't seem to find it." she lied, knowing that they were right next to it. "oh, well, it's right here, miss..." "Dakota, pleased to meet you." she said, lying again. "well, miss Dakota, my name is Jake, and the pleasure is all mi-AH" he was cut off by a wolf, who pushed him out of the way to talk with 'Dakota', "Well hello Dakota, name's rich, how about you let me buy you a drink?" tel had bent over to help Jake up, and then said, " why don't you just go play alpha/bitch with your boys over there, and leave me alone?" she said, pissed off that she had the mouse playing along, only to have this mutt come and screw it up.
"Ooh, I love that game, but you're the only bitch here!" rich said, getting mad, "I was just saving you from a boring night with that rat, and I offer you a drink, and you spit it back at me? no way you wi-" *OOF* Jake, who had gotten back to his feet, managed to hit the larger male in the stomach, and following that with a knee to his temple. Rich was out cold. Tal had been prepared to fight, but was shocked to see Jake take control, but she played off of it, "oh wow, you're so strong! how did you do that?" Jake said, "I've been in a few fights before, now if you'll excuse me for just a second..." walking in the direction of a group of more wolves, dragging Rich behind him.
"Here, I think this is yours." Jake said, placing rich in one of the seats. "he passed out over by the bar, and I thought you guys could take him home."
the biggest wolf glanced over, then said, "yeah, thats rich for ya', drinkin' till he's cold. thanks fer bringin' him over to us mate." Jake nodded, saying, it was no problem, take care!" and started back to the bar, only to find Dakota no where to be found. he sighed, and returned to watching maxx impress ladies that couldn't have him.
later,
the rave had started to disperse, most stumbled back to their cars, while the bartender stopped serving drinks. Jake had a little buzz, but he didnt drink much, so he should be fine in the morning, though maxx and the gang would probably wake up with more than a sore head. apparently, sometime during jake's run in with Dakota, shienti decided to start an orgy, which only got up to about five people, and all of them horses...
"well hey there, mousy!" someone said behind him. he turned with a start, and relaxed a bit when he saw Dakota, "oh, hi, where did you go?" he asked. "my friend needed a ride, so I helped her out. sorry I kept you waiting." she said, acting downcast, and lying once again.
"No, it's fine, I was just curious." Tel grinned, "well, you know what they say about curiosity..." Jake thought for a second, then shook his head, "No, what do they say about curiousity?" tel's grin turned into a smile, "they say 'curiosity sleeps with the cat...'"
Jake grinned also, "oh, so you do like me? that's good, and here I thought you were av-*mrff*" he was cut off the second time that night, but this time by a kiss from the cat. "by the way, I lied about my name. it's telko, but you call me tel." as she pulled out of the kiss. "tel? well then, tel, how about we go somewhere less crowded, and with less naked gay horses?" she thought about it for a second, and finally said, "okay, your place or mine?"
