The Waff.

… It’s been awhile since my friend Waff and I hung out together. He has his guy friends that he hangs out with and he also has a part time job after school. In fact anytime I get to spend time with Waff, it’s always a pleasure. Even though I only have known him for a little over a year, I feel like I can depend on him like a older brother. One night last week, Waff had the night off from his job. He was interested in checking out a new dance club and invited me to go with him. Of course, I jumped at the chance to go and we made plans.

During the school day I was so anxious to go out with Waff, I couldn’t sit still in any of my classes. Kasumi and Yumi teased me all day long about how Waff and I were secret lovers. They made jokes about our big night out, but I think they were just jealous. That and the fact their parents said they couldn’t go out on a school night. After school was over, I drove back home and got something to eat. I took a shower and was debating on what to wear. While looking thru my closet, Waff calls me and says that his car is not working. He asks if I could drive and I said it would be no problem.

I finally get a outfit together and race off to pick Waff up at his house. When I get to his house I knock on the door, but there’s no answer. Usually when this happens, I find myself walking around to the back of his house and putting my arm thru the doggie door to open the door from the inside. However this time when I put my arm thru the door and placed my hand on the knob, I feel someone grab my arm firmly. It surprised me so much, that I jumped forward and hit my head on the door. The back door opened suddenly and Waff was having trouble standing due to the fact he was laughing so hard at me being surprised. I yell at him, but this just made him laugh harder. He goes to get his jacket, then we jump into my car and take off.

On our way to the club, Waff insists that we stop so he can show me these vending machines. For some reason he was completey amazed with this one particular machine that sold t-shirts. He gets out of the car, runs over to this machine and starts pointing at it. I’m not amused, but I go to look at it and saw all the shirts it had to offer. I get bored and tell him we should leave, but he says to wait so that he can buy one. I get back into the car and play with my iPod while I wait for Waff. All of a sudden, I see him jumping up and down. I yell over to ask what happened and he tells me that the machine took his money, but didn’t give him a shirt. He starts kicking the machine and shouts bad words at it, but then eventually gives up. He climbs back into the car and starts to pout. I start laughing at him and he just gets himself into a mood. I try to give him a hug, but he pushes me away. We leave and drive off to the club.

On our way to the club, Waff tells me that this club is owned by a friend of his. He also says that we will be able to get in for free and not have to wait in any lines because our names are on the guest list. This made me happy because I can get very impatient at times and if I can avoid waiting in lines, then I will. We drive slowly past the club to see a very long line to get in. The bouncer in front recognizes Waff and points over to a VIP parking lot for us to park in. We find a parking space and then walk over to the club. The music was so loud, we could hear it from the parking lot. When we get to the front door, Waff talks to the bouncer and introduces me. The bouncer smiles at me and says he loves my car. Then he gives me a nice compliment and lets both of us in. As we walk past the long line of people waiting to get in, I try not to make eye contact.

Inside, the club was very nice. It had very tall ceilings and look like a converted warehouse. The lighting was simply amazing and they had giant video screens. The dance floor was still a bit empty because they were just letting people in. Waff finds his friend and we walk over to him. He introduces himself as Clint and tells us a bit about the club and how it’s going to be the best Hardstyle dance club in town. When he mentioned the word Hardstyle, I immediately thought of my friend Gin and wondered if he was aware of this club as well. Clint gave Waff and I a tour of the whole club. He showed us the VIP area and even his personal office. He told us that tonight the drinks are on him and if we needed anything to just ask. Waff perked up after hearing about free drinks, so he went over to the bar. Clint said that he had some business to take care of and excused himself. I found myself just exploring the club and people watching. I noticed there was another level above the main floor to observe from as well. A few minutes later, Waff finds me and hands me a glass of orange juice. We find a place to sit and just people watch together. He suggests that we should go out and dance, but I wasn’t feeling up to it. He says that he wants to and goes over to the dance floor to make some moves.

Watching Waff dancing, I noticed someone watching me from across the room. I really didn’t think anything of it until he started to casually walk across the dance floor towards my direction. I see this and get up. I find myself walking towards the restroom. I was too nervous to look behind me to see where the stranger was. Inside the restroom, I meet this girl who introduces herself to me. She tells me that her name is Miki and that she is Clint’s business partner. She explains that she saw all of us talking earlier and was too busy with club business to come over. I tell her how much I like the club and tell her about the stranger outside. She then says that I have nothing to be worried about and that she will go outside to look for him. I give her a description of the stranger and she exits the restroom. I wait for a few moments and she comes back to tell me that he is nowhere to be found. I feel relieved and thank Miki for her help. We both go back out and I find Waff on the dance floor. I start to dance with him to clear my thoughts. After about two songs, I noticed that the stranger was back and watching Waff and I on the dance floor. I feel myself getting nervous again and tell Waff about the stranger.

Waff tells me that I’m just being paranoid and to pay no attention to him. I insist that the stranger is up to no good, but Waff pretends the music is too loud to hear me. I march off the dance floor to try and find Clint or Miki, but had no luck. My club experience was not fun anymore and I wanted to leave. However, I knew Waff was having a good time so I didn’t want to ruin his night. I found a spot overlooking the dance floor and began to people watch again. As I was observing, I get a text message from Kasumi asking if Waff and I are in bed yet. I send a smart reply back and wait for her response. As I wait, I look around only to find the stranger standing right in front of me. I find myself very uncomfortable and look for Waff on the dance floor. I don’t see him dancing in the same spot, but see him making his way towards me. The stranger tries to introduce himself, but Waff confronts him before he says his name. Waff tells the stranger that he has been watching him for the last hour. He says to just leave us alone and that there’s plenty of other girls to hit on. The stranger gets upset at Waff, but says that he will leave us alone. He walks off into the distance and I give Waff a hug for helping me out. He says that he has to wake up early and suggests that we leave. I tell him that’s a good idea and we find Clint and Miki to let them know we are leaving. We thank them for inviting us and that we will be back soon. Miki asks what happend with the stranger and I said that Waff scared him off. We all laugh and say good night.

As Waff and I walk thru the lobby to exit, I noticed a quick movement out of the corner of my eye. I turn to see the stranger running towards us. He tries to take a swing at Waff, but Waff ducks and hits the stranger in the face… HARD. We see the stranger fall flat on the floor. He insults Waff as he tries to get up. I get upset at his behaviour and take out my tazer from my bag. I zapp the stranger in the butt. This time he wasn’t getting up. Clint and Miki soon finds us and asks us what happend. Waff explains and Clint says he will call the police after we leave. We walk out of the club and get into my car. Waff asks if I’m alright and I tell him I’m fine. We drive back to his house and he tells me that I don’t have to worry about the stranger. He explains that Clint has a few friends on the police force, so there won’t be any problems. I feel slightly reassured and thank Waff for everything. We say good night with a hug and I drive off for home. I was very sleepy, but I couldn’t wait to get home to call Kasumi and Yumi to tell them what happened. I just hoped they were still awake..
