She was glad that Josie was around and she’d finally be able to enjoy the party with someone else. Replying to the text, Olivia promptly turned right around and made her way back to the dance floor. The music was still going, the vibes were still strong, and the environment was still warm. It was just the way Olivia had liked it. Stepping down the stairs, she snaked her way past a couple who were getting a little [i]too frisky[/i]. Definitely not PG-13. Looking away and shielding her innocent eyes, she eventually made her way to the dance floor where her innocent eyes were definitely not innocent anymore. Glancing down at her phone, now began the hunt for Josie. Where could she be? Olivia was roaming the floor like a lost dog as she looked for her bestie. Peering into the dance floor, she could see the unmistakable outline of her signature curls. Walking into the dance floor, she tapped Josie on the shoulder. [color=fff79a][b]”Hey boo!”[/b][/color] She smiled, hugging Josie. [color=Blueviolet][b]“Hey girl! I feel like it has been forever since we saw each other. I mean a week is a while.”[/b][/color] The dancer told her friend while hugging her back. She then grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side of the dance floor so they had more room and weren’t surrounded by people grinding and doing things that were not actual dancing in Josie’s mind. Once to the side, Josie glanced quickly at the DJ subconsciously before refocusing on her friend. [color=Blueviolet][b]“So what have you been up to so far at the party? I’d pretend like I’m surprised I haven’t seen you but let’s be honest. I haven’t left the dance floor since getting here.”[/b][/color] Josie laughed, the fact clear as she had just a bit of sweat glistening on her body. But on her it seemed to add an ethereal shine, especially since the scents of her lotion and perfume still were ever present leaving the girl smelling like a mix of vanilla, cinnamon, and fresh rainfall despite having been dancing for well over an hour. [color=fff79a][b]”Ah, y’know, just having a couple drinks and taking in the sights!”[/b][/color] Olivia held up her margarita, before taking another sip. Josie did look like she had been partying hard, just based on the sweat on her forehead. She didn’t blame her. Olivia knew that Josie loved to dance. No use holding back the dancer. [color=fff79a][b]”You wanna have a dance together? Got nothing better to do right now besides spend some time with ya.”[/b][/color] [color=Blueviolet][b]“Is that even a question Liv? Come on back to the middle! And don’t worry if any boy bothers you I will just scare him away with my dance moves.”[/b][/color] Josie joked, winking at Olivia as she pulled her back into the moving group of people, her body already beginning to move to the beat of the music again. Following Josie to the middle of the dance floor, she bumped into a couple of other girls dancing like crazy just momentarily. She paid them no mind as they arrived at their spot. This was the spot where the girls would start enjoying themselves. Josie would enjoy herself sober, and Olivia was definitely going to enjoy herself with some alcohol in her system. After a few minutes of dancing, Olivia gestured to Josie to take a break, since she was starting to get a little tired and she was starting to lose focus. She felt like just hanging out and relaxing just a bit after so much activity. [color=fff79a][b]”Hey, let’s go take a break, dude! I’m kinda tired!”[/b][/color] She said to Josie, gesturing to the side area with a bunch of chairs. The dancer took notice of her friend tiring and was all for going with her to sit down when she suggested it. Even if she could keep going for hours, she knew her friend couldn’t. Besides, they could just talk and chill over to the side, something one could not do on the dance floor. Following her friend’s lead, Josie headed to the side area and plopped down on a chair. Running a hand through her hair, she looked around at the party until once again her eyes fell on the blonde DJ. Turning to face forward with a sharp head turn, Josie brought her hands up to her face and slapped her cheeks, squishing her face in as she took a deep breath. Letting the breath out, she let her hands fall to her lap as she shook her head. Something was wrong with her tonight, it was weird and it all had to do with the DJ. Had she accidentally drank alcohol? No… she had barely even had any water since getting to the party. God, she was probably just going crazy. Olivia was a fighter, not a dancer. Dancing tired her out faster than wrangling girls and guys or kicking them in the face. She didn’t even want to think about what she looked like to anyone else. Josie was the far better dancer and Olivia wasn’t ever going to challenge that. Hell, Josie would definitely dance circles around her. Potentially even literally. Taking a seat next to her best friend, she couldn’t help but notice the look she gave the DJ earlier. Olivia knew that there was more to that look than it seemed. At least, that’s what Olivia thought. She was already acting a bit strange. Her vibe had definitely changed, but why? [color=fff79a][b]”You good, Josie? Something on your mind?”[/b][/color] Josie had momentarily forgotten her friend was right there and when she spoke, the girl jumped ever so slightly turning to look at Olivia. Opening her mouth to tell her friend she was fine, she paused and decided to go with the truth. Josie wasn’t one to really lie or hide small things anyways so why start now. [color=Blueviolet][b]“Honestly, I don’t know. I think I’m going crazy Liv. My mind keeps wandering and my eyes keep finding the DJ. Like he’s really cute and all but I’m definitely probably giving off creeper vibes with how many times I keep looking at him. God what is wrong with me?”[/b][/color] The dark-skinned beauty confided what she was feeling to her friend. Sounding desperate for an answer to what was wrong with her. So, it seemed like Josie had caught boy fever. Olivia really should’ve known, but at the same time, it was really cute to see Josie caught up like this. It was very rare that she was like this, so she was going to cherish this moment. She looked at the DJ and then back at her friend. One more at the DJ, then back at her friend as if she was doing a double take. It was so cute. Infatuated Josie. [color=fff79a][b]”Nothing’s wrong with you, Jo. It’s only natural that stuff like this happens,”[/b][/color] Olivia laughed, before looking at the DJ once again, [color=fff79a][b]”You should go up and talk to him! Yeah! That’s a great idea!”[/b][/color] Olivia was kind of tipsy, so she wasn’t 100% clear if her idea was wise, but she had nothing but good intentions for her bestie. Taking Josie’s wrist and getting up, Olivia was trying to pull Josie to the DJ, [color=fff79a][b]”Dude, let’s go! Don’t be a pussy!”[/b][/color] Josie’s eyes widened at Olivia’s suggestion and immediately began to pull back the best she could against her strong friend. [color=Blueviolet][b]“No no no no no! That is a terrible idea! I am a female, I will be a pussy if I wish to be a pussy! Talking to him is the worst idea ever. How about instead I throw myself off the boat? That sounds like a better idea than talking to him.”[/b][/color] Rambling on, Josie tried to reason with her friend. [color=Blueviolet][b]“Besides he’s doing the music stuff right now, we don’t want to interrupt that. So how about we go get you another drink and find you a guy to talk to. I like that idea better.”[/b][/color] She laughed nervously and tried to begin walking in the direction of the bar despite knowing her friend was stronger than her. Josie was a dancer not a fighter, when she did spar with the JROTC she used speed to win, not strength. She could not beat her friend in the battle of strength but she could hope her persuasions would work. Olivia wasn’t having Josie’s protests. She knew an infatuation when she saw one and Josie was clearly infatuated with DJ Music Man. [color=fff79a][b]”Forget about me, this is about you right now!”[/b][/color] Olivia pulled back harder, knowing that she was way stronger than Josie was and she would win the struggle very easily. [color=fff79a][b]”I don’t want any man or woman here. Right now the focus is on you and DJ Music Man!”[/b][/color] Olivia pulled and wrapped Josie around her arm, before pushing her to the DJ. [color=fff79a][b]”Just go up and request a song and go from there. How hard could it be?”[/b][/color] [color=Blueviolet][b]“Impossible. Impractical. Unreasonable. Preposterous. Illogical. Ridiculous. Absolutely Outrageously Hard!”[/b][/color] Josie [i]reasoned[/i] with her friend. Getting more and more nervous with every step closer they got to he DJ. This was the worst idea in the history of ideas. [color=fff79a][b]”You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take, Josie!”[/b][/color] She replied as she pulled her bestie through the crowd. Eventually they had gotten to the DJ, where Olivia had put her arms up on the table, looking at said DJ. [color=fff79a][b]”My friend here wants to request a song! Ain’t that right, friend?”[/b][/color] [color=Blueviolet][b]“Uh… Umm yeah… Sure… A song-”[/b][/color] Josie looked to her friend then to the DJ then back at her friend, [color=Blueviolet][b]“A song- a song to dance to! Yes exactly request a song to dance to!”[/b][/color] The dancer nervously smiled at the DJ for a moment, not saying anything as she took in his appearance closer up. When she finally snapped back to reality she glanced out at the dancing people. [color=Blueviolet][b]“Sorry Not Sorry please.”[/b][/color] Josie then turned to rejoin the group of dancers pulling Olivia with her. [color=fff79a][b]”Demi Lovato? Really?”[/b][/color] Olivia laughed, as they returned back to the dance floor. Josie didn’t do so hot, but it was okay. Olivia knew just what to do to help her out. [color=fff79a][b]”Listen here, once this song is over, I’m gonna drag your ass back up there and you’re gonna talk to the DJ! If you leave, I’m gonna push you back over there. You wanna fight me? Go ahead. But you’re gonna talk to that DJ and not be a pussy. I know you aren’t a pussy.”[/b][/color] [color=Blueviolet][b]“How about instead I don’t. You saw how that went… it was horrible. I just want to dance my embarrassment away so once that song comes on people will need to move. I’m going full out this time.”[/b][/color] Josie wasn’t lying, the minute the [url=https://youtu.be/v3WOoGZg52s?t=38s]song[/url] began she let the music take control of her. As more and more people around took notice a small circle formed around her giving her room to dance as people watched her dance, cheering her on drunkenly. She just let her embarrassment and anxiety wash away as she danced, reconnecting with her confident side that she lost when talking to the boy that was driving her crazy. As Josie started to dance the night away, Olivia just stood there and watched her dance like she didn’t just botch her attempt at flirting. One way or another, Josie was going to talk to that DJ! The vibrations pounded through her feet and Olivia was trying her darndest to resist the urge to dance. But wait… Olivia suddenly had the best idea in the world. She started to dance along with Josie, getting up close to her. She looked like an absolute spaz, but she was doing this to prove a point. If Olivia was ballsy enough to dance even though she totally couldn’t, then Josie could’ve grown a pair and talked to the DJ. [color=fff79a][b]”Look at me go, Josie![/b][/color] She smiled, trying her best to flaunt her dancing skill (or lack of). Josie glanced at her friend and laughed a grin spreading on her face. When the song came to an end she pulled her friend off the dance floor and ran to the bar grabbing them two waters, knowing her friend would probably need one after that. When she got back to her friend, Josie handed her the water while taking a sip of her own. [color=Blueviolet][b]“Damn Liv, do you have two left feet or something?”[/b][/color] She giggled and glanced at the DJ, knowing exactly what her friend was trying to do. [color=Blueviolet][b]“I’ll talk to him, but I can’t do it while he is working Liv. When he takes a break then I will… maybe. Unless I turn into a mess again then I may just throw myself overboard.”[/b][/color] Josie looked back to her friend as she spoke. [color=Blueviolet][b]“But remind me I need to teach you some actual dance moves.”[/b][/color] [color=fff79a][b]”If I could dance, you can talk to that guy.”[/b][/color] She laughed, taking a seat as her feet started to hurt after all that “dancing” she did. She glanced at the DJ again, and just by looking at his body language she could tell that he was about ready for a break. [color=fff79a][b]”Looks like your time is soon,[/b][/color] She grinned, before looking down at her “two left feet”, [color=fff79a][b]”There’s no saving my dancing ability, hon. There is saving you and that DJ, though.”[/b][/color] She said, as she gestured toward the man who was getting ready to abandon his station for a bit. [color=fff79a][b]”There’s your opportunity! Go!”[/b][/color]
