Last night was my first ever office party.
'It will be awesome', I was told - booze, food, booze, dancing, chilling, more booze and so on.
Reached late, was welcomed by drunken friends and a sea of dancing, flickering lights.
"Ahh...the usual", I said to myself.
That's until I saw her. Clad completely in black, she entered the lounge minutes after I did, in the arms of someone else. Something just stirred inside me. Go get her, cried every bone inside me.
I made my way across the room, treading on now-dancing floaters and flip-flops. Some barely noticed; a few others glared. I continued, nonchalant.
She stood right at the bar, full of grace, unmoving. I went and stood beside her. Then suddenly, without thinking, I slid my hand across her waist, pulled her towards me and my lips crushed hers with a passion so intense that I had never felt before.
My fiery throat felt cold as waves of satisfaction washed over it. We didn’t separate until we were both gasping for air. The world swirled around us as we looked at each other with spent passion.
She looked drained. It wasn't over for me yet. I still burned with ravenous thirst. Gathering up the last reserves of my strength, I said to the barman, "Boss, ek aur Coke dena!"
