Scent
    My music played in the bunker in an industrial council. There’s a good buzz in the air. This is a fundraiser for an old friend and the bands have an addictive energy. The tribe
I am queuing up for a drink. I notice her she is noticing me noticing her.
She is full blown Rock Chick. Platinum blunt cut, heavy eyeliner blood red lipstick. Wearing black mini stiletto boots fishnets with a wife beater 2 sizes small

I start carrying drinks to my friends. It’s involved process I chat with everyone and Misty asks if I am ever returning.
I answer, “Enjoy this all about music and raising a few quid.  After the first other drinks come quick; secret weapon tips.
I jump the queue come back to my drink. The bartender asks what I want I’ll take whatever she’s drinking. He answers “Jack and Coke
“Make it a double,” I tell him, the drink comes back quickly,  “
Do you and your friends only drink doubles?” Bartender asks. I garb the drink and walk it over the place the drink in front of her
her saying, ”Liking the show, Nico ?”
“Clever, but easy on the ears I’ll take it. “’ She answers.  I deliver the last drink wondering how I landed this task
 I assure Angie I’ll be back She tells me Misty and she won’t wait forever. I stay for a couple I have Nico on me mind gnawing at my consciousness’; I tell them I need air walking out back, Nico follows. there are a couple of picnic tables I find the empty one sit and  Nico joins me.
“Your dates wonder where you are?” Nico asks, with a devilish smile. I  answer by putting my hand on her shoulder pull her towards me  and kiss her. She responds pressing towards me.  We attack each other. she quickly unbuttons my 501’s. I l explore her thighs and can feel her excitement
    “I need to stop,” she says. Pushing me back. “I deserve better than the quickie in a car, and you dashing to the two blondes.
“You’re right love, they deserve better too” I   stand to button my jeans. finish my drink  in one swallow, and say “good night, I should be getting back, and start  back in the club
“Erika, my name is Erika let me wipe the lipstick off your neck and chest”,” Nico says. Dabbing at me with a cocktail napkin. I give her a peck
“bonne nuit mon amour” I say walking in.
    The band is a hot great atmosphere. I  walk to the bar a round for me, Angie,  and Misty. Erika brushes against me I feel her hand in my pocket.
    “My panties, now you know what I smell taste like my numbers there too,” Erika says in a husky voice.
    “I thought we were ...” I answer gathering drinks.
    We both know better, and you know, what they say once the dogs catch the scent it’s done.”
