"Hey, Mel."
"You want some shots?"
"Join us whenever you wish too!"
I smile at all of them, not bothering to fake up a reply as I hold Odi's hands and make way to the bar. After all, one that knows your tears is better than a bunch who only know your smile.
"Whose house is this, pretty fancy." I settle on a stool comfortably, glancing around the vast yards and expensive furniture while Alec still looks sick.
"The Spears, that urm, Blondie's house I think."
"Hahahaha, Blondie, lovely name," I bark out while Odi is tearing up in laughter.
"I hate her, but she's the daughter of the Spears, and there's a chance I will be forced to marry her for a business alliance. That's why I study harder to gain the favour of the other shareholders in the company so I can prove that I do not have to marry some dumb bitch for the benefits."
"I pity you, mate, she's a stupid one compared to her aunt, her aunt, you know, Brittney Spears, the singer, she's absolutely crazy! You offend her, she will still be laughing and joking with you, but she'll finish you off in the dark and you have no idea what you did to offend her. Seriously, the Spears are just..."
"Mad people, I know " Odi adds in, nodding in approval, sipping her cup of gin.
"Exactly woman."
"Come on, Jasons, let's hit the dance floor, "
"Why don't you give us a free concert instead?" Alec pushes another cup of sherry down his throat, his Adam's apple rolling, caging my vision. I quickly look away, my head swarming of Dionysus's. His thighs, his muscles, his eyes, his throat, his hair, his lips, when he was being quiet yet, he accepts me being me. Everything.
"Alright."
I stand up from the stool, making my way to the DJ. I snatch the microphone from him and blast my recently released song: The Truth Untold. All in one swift move.
"Bloomed in a garden of loneliness
A flower that resembles you
I wanted to give it to you
After I take off this foolish mask.
But I know
I can't do that forever
I have to hide
Because I am a monster
I am afraid
I am shattered
I'm so afraid
That you will leave me again in the end
Once again I put on a mask and go to see you
The only thing I can do
In the garden
In this world
Is to bloom a pretty flower that resembles you
And to breathe as the me that you know
But I still want you
I still want you."
I had never poured so much heart and soul into writing any song, this song, was based on 'The Emerald Castle' I feel an ache in my heart. As the crowd chants for more, I look over to Alec and Odi who give me a thumbs-up and Alec just well, raises his cup.
I know, really encouraging.
I hit some party songs like "Happy" by Pharell Williams and the crowd starts dancing and screaming to my picks while some lame people will just stand at a side, videoing me and, no shit, it's gonna get viral.
Whatever, just have some fun, you rootless idiots.
Music pumping from our ear canals to our eardrums and our brains crazily decipher and transport a maddening message: Dance your asses off. People grind on one other, male or female, they don't care, they just want fun and listen to their brains' wishes. Their shoes, annoying high-heels and boots slap the beautiful faces of the dance floors, thumping and kissing. I really had fun being the DJ, I know how to satisfy the crowds, I like how I am in control of their emotions and actions based on my picks and my dance moves that start them off.
I like the dominance and control. Fun. And chaotic. Destruction, oh how I long that to ground their foundation tonight when people regret their decisions the next day. How pretty that will be. I watch them making out with the wrong people, under my influence. I love how easily affected their pliant minds were.
"Mel, we gotta go." Odi creeps up and whispers beside me. "Your driver was asking for you."
"Right."
"Hey guys, time's late, I gotta catch some beauty sleep, see ya!" With that, I jump off the DJ stand and part my way effortlessly to Alec, who's still downing his shots.
Some people offer to open the gates for me while I drag him to Arthur, ignoring the fact his fancy shoes are digging into the grass and spoiling the soles.
Well, should have had second thoughts before choosing those shoes that you'll get drunk and not walk properly right?
"Oh? Ilocia, we going back so quickly already? But I like it back there! Where's my drink? Did you take it?" Alec whines, hobbling like a little toddler as he tries to struggle from my grip.
Annoying brat. But oh, such a change. I contemplate to video him, ooh, that's going to be fun! I swipe out my phone, aiming it at his sluggish face. His handsome features are adorable and warm compared to his usual cold-hard expression. Alec pouts his plump lips, his bottom lips sticking out, he looks at me so much trust and reliance that it irritates me.
"Shut up, Jasons, I hate kids."
"But I am one, and you love me."
"What in the seeds, dude, since when did I said that?!" I clamp my hand over his pink lips, looking around for anyone having a possibility of hearing that. I hate troubles, especially eavesdropping dipshits.
"Oh, I don't know... I think it's in my dreams, then I was on top of you, I think I am riding a horse... But I have no idea what I was doing, but I think it's very fun! Can we do that one day too?"
"You know what, just stuff your mouth up to your ass, you're spilling stuff that will never happen."
"Ooh," he sticks out his bottom lips further, being a seduct-er (seductress?), "but I think I like it."
"I don't give a shit, just shut the Hades up, Jasons. You're going to so regret this."
"Aww Ilocia... don't be mad, don't ignore me, please? Pleasey please with a cherry on top? Ilocia come on..."
He whines and nags all the way home.
Brat.
But cute.
Oh, Jasons.
++=
So, Jasons+Ilocia
Or Dionysus+Carmelo
Or Karl+Mel?
